Chapter 2346 Credits Galore!
"Why does that not work?" Qiao De asked, not knowing the specifics behind it.
"While I can use the Serene Lotus Buddhist Veil with the a.s.sistance of Crown Princess Shang and Ziran since both have wood elemental affinities, my proficiency with it is still not high enough to warrant me full control.
It only worked on Daoist Mu Lin because he too has an affinity with the Buddhist Dao. I barely had to activate the technique and Daoist Mu Lin was able to do the rest on his own." Monk Hushu explained.
After hearing that, the group understood that it wasn"t an option for everyone.
"Perhaps we"ll be able to devise more methods later, or at the very least figure out a way to prevent it from entering our bodies in the first place." Lin Mu stated after thinking for a bit.
"Indeed." Crown Prince Feng Shun still had his hopes high. "I"m sure there"s something useful in the Offering hall. We have enough credits to test several things." He added.
"That"s true." Lin Mu said as he checked his credits.
But when he did, he was shocked.
"What in the…" Lin Mu almost couldn"t believe his eyes.
"What happened—" The others questioned Lin Mu"s reaction until they saw the number on his wrist.
The green band showed that Lin Mu had almost two hundred and fifty million credits!
"How are there… so many credits? Wasn"t it lower before?" Min Ju asked in surprise.
Lin Mu"s mind went through a few possibilities before quickly finding the most probably option.
"The Yin Heart Soul… Perhaps killing it gave me the credits." Lin Mu could only think of that.
"But that"s not even a chimeric beast." Daoist Chu said. "It didn"t appear on the Chimera Radar." He added.
"I know… but perhaps there are some exceptions to it." Lin Mu replied knowing that they didn"t understand everything about the Spatial Plane"s array and the credit system. "We shouldn"t be the ones to look a gift horse in the mouth." Ziran spoke up. "Rather than that, let"s just accept it and make use of it." He suggested.
"Ziran is correct." Monk Hushu nodded. "We best use whatever the heavens provide." "Of course, I intend on making full use of it." Lin Mu nodded his head.
If anything, it had only brought him closer to the goals, and they know knew of more avenues of obtaining the credits.
"Let"s head out then. Perhaps I"ll get just enough credits to get the Immortal Paragon Ring." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated, feeling excited about it.
"Yeah, we"re very close to the three hundred million goal. We"ll try to hunt as many Chimeric Beasts as we can on the way." Daoist Chu said, and the group quickly began to move.
~SHUA~
Little Shrubby appeared at a mere thought from Lin Mu and sped away with everyone.
The beast had been guarding the cave they were in and knew that Lin Mu had recovered as they had already talked through their link. As such, the beast was no longer worried and instead kept a watch for any danger that might be heading their way.
After all, the Death Qi boundaries could shift anytime and who knew if there were more modified Yin Heart Puppet beasts here.
Along the way, Lin Mu discussed more strategies and methods with the group, while Crown Prince Feng Shun continued to hunt the Chimeric Beasts. With the help of the Chimera Radar, they were having an easy time finding them and even discovered a large swarm of Chimeric Beasts that had been gathered behind a newly formed Death Qi boundary.
That was like the perfect feast for Crown Prince Feng Shun, and he indulged himself in the harvest of credits.
This was just the right amount that he needed, as by the end of his hunt, he had reached the required goal.
"300,00,471 Credits." Crown Prince Feng Shun had a wide smile on his face as he looked at the number.
"Haha, you did it!" Daoist Chu and Crown Princess Shang were very excited.
"Amithabha, the heavens are on our side," Monk Hushu prayed.
"Little Shrubby, full speed ahead!" Lin Mu ordered, knowing that they didn"t need to delay anymore to hunt now.
They were already quite close to the Offering hall now, so they didn"t take long to reach it.
~CRASH~
Little Shrubby"s claws dug into the ground as he slowed down before finally letting everyone off.
~WHOOSH~
Crown Prince Feng Shun quickly flew into the Offering hall, while the group followed behind. ~THUD~THUD~THUD~
They stood in the hall with the reward lists and held their breaths as Crown Prince Feng Shun requested for the Immortal Paragon Ring.
"Here we go…" He took a deep breath and selected the name.
~HUALA~
A few moments later, a small portal opened up before a ring was spat out by it.
Crown Prince Feng Shun grabbed it with the speed of lightning, while literal arcs of it crawled on his skin. He had evidently used his skills to enhance his speed, feeling anxious that the ring might escape his grasp or more.
No one spoke, as the air grew heavy with antic.i.p.ation. The Crown Prince carefully held the ring in his hand as he observed it. He didn"t dare to use his Immortal Sense, as there was no telling what kind of response there could be. After all, this was no normal immortal tool. This was an Immortal Paragon"s ring!
It was something only the peak of the Immortal Realm deserved to have.
Him holding one such ring right now was already a miracle that might never happen again.
Lin Mu watched the thing and thought that for all its glory, the ring itself was rather simple looking. It was a plain steel band with a single symbol on its top that read "Paragon".
If such a ring was put in a mortal market, no one would even bat an eye at it and would think of it as a peasants ring.
