Chapter 2303  Taking The Raven Hex Tears

Since none of the options were viable for the Scarlet Heart Phoenix Bloom Juice, Lin Mu didn"t consider it.

Even if he wanted to get in the future, it was much better to save up and get the Heaven Silencing Seal which he had been targeting since the start. It cost a whopping Billion Credits after all, which Lin Mu was not originally sure of getting.

But now that he knew just how much credits could be obtained from the Chimera Plant and the Chimeric Beasts produced by it, he was sure he"d eventually hit that number. Not to mention, there was no telling how far and wide they would spread.

"We wouldn"t be able to kill all of them in a short time anyways, and that would give the other Chimera Plants, time to spread. Even if I reap around a hundred million credits per Chimera Plant and the Chimeric Beasts made by it, it"ll still be a great harvest over all. The goal is a lot more achievable now, even if I buy a few minor things." Lin Mu thought to himself.

With that in mind, he finally went ahead and bought the Black Hex Raven Tears.

~SHUA~

The credits on the green band decreased by sixty eight million, bringing down Lin Mu"s total to half of the original.

It stung a bit, but Lin Mu knew it was only a momentary decrease and that soon he"ll be able to gain all of them back.

~HUALA~

A small spatial portal opened up and the Black Hex Raven Tears were released by it.

Lin Mu saw it and immediately acted.

"Meld!" Lin Mu grasped the s.p.a.ce around the Black Hex Raven Tears directly, letting it hover in the air.

~phew~

"That was close." Lin Mu said as he looked at the watery tears. "They really came without any container…" he had been hoping that there would be something, but they just gave it bare.

He glanced at the tears for a bit finding them to look like any normal tears. In fact, he couldn"t even sense any danger from them and neither were there any Qi fluctuations coming from it..

If he didn"t know for sure that these were the Black Hex Raven Tears, he would simply think these were a few drops of water.

"There"s no Dao Traces coming from it either." He noted.

Without any identifying signs, it was now understandable how the Emperor in the story Xukong had told about got tricked so easily.

The amount of tears that he got were also a tiny amount. Not more than three drops total, for which he had paid a sky high price. After all, for sixty eight million credits he could simply buy Sixty eight million high grade immortal stones!

That was a ma.s.sive fortune!

But at the same time, the potential of the Black Hex Raven tears was great too, as these could potentially change the entire fate of a world if used correctly.

"With such a devastating effect, how do the other high ranking cultivators guard themselves against this?" he wondered. "Wouldn"t the Immortal court have to be on guard against this all the time too?" he muttered in confusion.

"The tears of the Black Hex Raven aren"t easily obtained. The Black Hex Raven itself is very rare and isn"t something that can be reared or bred. They are born spontaneously and can also disappear in the same way.

As for the Immortal court being wary of it… that part is correct. But they have sufficient measures against it." Xukong explained.

"What do they do to guard against it?" Lin Mu was curious. "After all, it seems impossible to tell from its appearance." "The Immortal Court has a special array that was especially developed to deal with the Black Hex Raven Tears and other such cursed items that can harm them without knowing. In fact, the Immortal court has a dedicated department for it. It is called as the Great Warding Hall and is in charge of curses, hexes, and other such abilities and phenomena." Xukong explained further.

Hearing it, Lin Mu couldn"t help but be impressed by the Immortal Court"s capabilities.

"They seem to have people for everything." Lin Mu muttered.

"There is a reason why they"ve managed to exist for all this time, after all. Without this, they wouldn"t be qualified for their position and would have long since been taken down." Xukong replied. "They have earned this position through blood and suffering, for each failure on their part was a painful lesson that eventually allowed them to progress.

There is no lack of people and powers that are looking to take down the Immortal court at all times. Even those that work with the Immortal Court don"t necessarily look up to them and are forced to work together." He stated.

"That bad?" Lin Mu hadn"t expected the Immortal court to be in a state like this.

"They routinely get betrayed by their own members too." Xukong added. "Though this is usually limited to the lower ranks members. Higher rank members defecting is rather rare due to their vetting process through which they recruit members." He explained.

"Oh? Is that the same process that Crown Princes Feng Shun, Crown Princess Shang, Monk Hushu and Daoist Chu are undergoing?" Lin Mu inquired.

"Indeed. They are all in their training periods where not only are their capabilities a.s.sessed, their mentality and personalities are also checked. At the same time, they are taught various things that one might need to be part of the Immortal Court.

Only after they qualify all these would one become truly eligible to become part of the Immortal Court and would be granted higher privileges." Xukong answered.

"I see." Lin Mu now understood better and wondered how he should keep the Black Hex Raven Tears.

"Just store it in the ring. As long as it"s in a distant area, it won"t do anything." Xukong suggested.

"Yes." Lin Mu did exactly that as the tears disappeared.
