Chapter 469

Tom quickly scraped the pure water toward itself, but said with its mouth: "Don't... don't... don't, stop, don't stop, my lord, tell me what's going on first. You're making me a bit panicked."

Although it said it was panicked, its hands were not slow at all. It controlled the water, forming two tentacles, and as soon as it swung them, they stuck to the pure water, scraping it continuously. The purified water flowed into its body in an endless stream.

Ang said: "Starburst Array, there's one of your kind there. Lure it."

Tom was stunned for a moment before it understood what he meant, and it hurriedly shook its head: "No, that one of my kind is very strong. I sensed a powerful will at the time; I don't want to provoke it."

Ang said: "Pure water, lightning urine, choose."

Tom immediately changed its tune and said: "No problem, leave it to me, my lord. Give me the pure water, and I'll go and take down that one of my kind. No, Tom only has a master, not one of my kind."

Nai Ge Li Si rolled its eyes: "Your shameless appearance reminds me of a horse."

Tom felt the same way: "The way you roll your eyes also reminds me of it."

Ang was purifying water while summarizing his experience. He had just grabbed this water from the lake at random, and it had all sorts of messy things in it: fish, algae, plankton, bacteria, insects, sand, and stones, etc.

However, after putting it into the Divine Realm, all the living things died, leaving only a large amount of debris and impurities. Purifying it bit by bit was too slow.

Ang took out a pair of silk pants, tied up all the openings, leaving only one. He poured the water in through the only opening and let it leak out through the gaps in the silk. Most of the large debris was gone.

"Uh, my lord, these are underwear, right?" Tom suddenly asked vigilantly.

Ang nodded.

"This... have they been used?" Tom asked hesitantly.

Ang shook his head.

"This... alright." Tom accepted it reluctantly.

It was useless not to accept it. The finest mesh Ang could find was these silk underwear, produced by the City of Beauty, with lace. Although they also raised silkworms in the North Wind Desert, their silk and weaving skills were far inferior to those of the City of Beauty.

Because they were immune to lightning, they actually carried a certain degree of electrical repulsion. That is to say, Ang would first release a small lightning bolt into the water, making the debris in the water charged, and then filter it, which could filter it very cleanly.

As long as it was cleaned in time, the silk pants wouldn't be clogged by debris and could be used repeatedly.

The water filtered this way only needed a few Spot-Removing Techniques to be purified very cleanly, so Ang's speed suddenly increased.

Purifying a whole Divine Realm's worth of water, the Warlock Ladder couldn't hold it anymore, so it had to be transferred to the Void outside.

There was no gravity in the Void, so there was no need for a container. The water floated directly in the Void, and Tom's will wandered in the large mass of pure water, very excited.

"Oh my god, oh my god, my power has returned, my purity has returned!"

As a Pure Water Spirit, Tom's power came from pure water. The more impurities in the water, the more its power would drop sharply. When the impurities reached a certain level, it would even be in danger of losing its life.

Therefore, salt water was the thing it feared most; there were too many impurities in it. Similar things included urine, soy sauce, insect ash liquid...

Even the container holding the water, if it was something with high solubility, like an oak barrel, it would also dislike it very much.

Therefore, Du Luo Ken had analyzed that Pure Water Spirits were not planar creatures. There was no suitable environment in the plane to give birth to an absolutely pure Pure Water Spirit. Like the big cat, it was a Void creature.

Arriving in the Void, it felt like it had returned home. In the zero-gravity environment, it could change its shape at will, occasionally changing into a snake shape, or changing into a double-arch shape, free and easy.

"Do you have any sensing?" Ang purified the last drop of water and then asked.

Tom was stunned for a moment before it understood what Ang meant, and it hurriedly shook its head.

Ang had created so much pure water to lure Luo Luo Ka over. These Pure Water Spirits could sense pure water within a certain range and then use resonance to sense it from afar.

Even in a closed space like the Palace of Rest, Tom could sense it from afar, and even at such a long distance as the main plane, it could also sense it from afar.

Of course, if the distance was too far, it would need to get familiar with it first. It couldn't sense an unfamiliar pure water environment from the main plane side.

However, the distance here to the Starburst Array was not so far that it couldn't be sensed, so Luo Luo Ka definitely could sense it. Then why didn't it come over?

The fallen power on Luo Luo Ka had already been cleared away. This kind of power at the level of belief could be directly cleared as long as Luo Luo Ka projected itself over, so Luo Luo Ka was no longer affected by the fallen power and could wander around.

Could it be that this pure water was too little to arouse its interest?

Ang went to fill another Divine Realm's worth of water, purified it again, and piled it up for Tom.

After finishing and preparing to go fill more water, Tom suddenly said: "My lord, it won't work, it's reached the limit. Any more and I won't be able to control it."

Tom had never thought that its body would one day exceed its control limit? Did this thing have a limit?

Yes, it only knew now that its control power had a limit. The pure water Ang stuffed into it had already approached this limit. Two Divine Realms' worth of water had almost burst it.

Nai Ge Li Si floated over curiously and asked with its will: "Control power has a limit? How do you know where the limit is?"

There was no air in the Void, so no sound could be made. Nai Ge Li Si could only communicate with its will, and it was still holding its breath now.

"I'll think about how to describe it. It's like you stretching your arm. As you stretch, you feel like you can't stretch any further. The limit is right there. Now that I'm extending my body, the edges are starting to feel a bit sluggish." Tom said.

Nai Ge Li Si stretched its own short arm and flew back, grumbling: "This limit is too short."

Two Divine Realms' worth of pure water floated there, and Tom's power was greatly enhanced, but Luo Luo Ka was nowhere to be seen. This bait hadn't caught a 'fish'?

Inside the Starburst Array, Luo Luo Ka, curled into a large water ball, emitted a feeling of loss that could be sensed for dozens of meters around: "I'm not pure anymore... I'll never go out again..."

Failure. Ang had gone to such trouble to fish, but he hadn't caught anything, and it had been a waste, benefiting Tom instead.

Returning to God-Fall Town, Silver Coin had already been waiting there for a long time.

"My lord, do you remember that big wealthy patron, Lu Ti Xi Ya? She came to find me again, hoping that I could provide an alchemical item capable of holding a soul, preferably a Soul Casket. She is willing to pay 20 million magic crystals for it." Silver Coin said.

Ang tilted his head.

Everyone was already very familiar with some of Ang's small movements, such as tilting his head. In different situations, it could express different meanings. Sometimes it meant confusion, and sometimes it meant inquiry.

Now his meaning was probably 'Why ask me'?

Silver Coin also turned to Nai Ge Li Si with ease. He knew Ang wasn't interested in these things, and in the end, he still had to talk to Nai Ge Li Si.

But Ang could be uninterested, yet he couldn't bypass Ang to act on his own with Nai Ge Li Si, especially when facing such a simple main god as Ang; he couldn't do that even more.

There were many tricks to this, but they were all human-goblins; they would never cross the line. Didn't you see Anthony coming to report his work to Ang from time to time? Even knowing Ang didn't like to listen, he still had to report.

Nai Ge Li Si couldn't help but grumble: "20 million magic crystals? Is there inflation? Why does it feel like magic crystals are becoming less and less valuable? What's the background of this Lu Ti Xi Ya? She just takes out 10 or 20 million so casually? She also spent 10 million on the Elf Magic Armor last time."

Silver Coin was the true master of fishing. The bait he left behind had hooked Lu Ti Xi Ya, making her restless. Not long after, she came looking for him, wanting to customize a full set of armor, the kind that would match the sword in her hand.

This was too easy to handle. A set of Elf Holy Armor would do. This kind of armor, light and exquisite, full of elven aesthetics, refined to perfection, and as exquisite as a work of art, captured Lu Ti Xi Ya's love as soon as it appeared, and she paid the money so readily.

When she paid, she didn't even test whether the armor and sword would match, because armor that was beautiful to this extent didn't matter if it matched the sword or not. At worst, she would just change the sword.

Look, this was the mindset of a big client.

First she spent over 10 million, and now she was prepared to spend 20 million. Magic crystals weren't fast-growing vegetables that could be harvested one crop after another, right?

Silver Coin said: "She has a mine at home. Her family has a very large magic crystal mine, with an annual output of tens of millions of magic crystals, and it is also accompanied by a lot of mithril, refined gold, magic feldspar, and the like."

"With her level, she has a mine at home, can she hold onto it?" Nai Ge Li Si was surprised.

"In the past, it was still possible. I studied the history here; it's a combination of a feudal system and a city-state system. As long as she didn't provoke the Empire, even if she were paralyzed in bed, as long as she could lift the Undead Scepter, she could hold onto the family business." Silver Coin said.

Nai Ge Li Si, however, agilely captured the key point: "In the past?"

Silver Coin smiled bitterly: "Now, of course, it's not possible. The Undead Scepter doesn't work, and even if it did, the Warlock Alliance wouldn't let her use it. Such a force with strategic resources cannot be held in the hands of the enemy. Therefore, her family is now a target that both the Warlock Alliance and the Empire want to win over and also want to restrict."

"So complicated. Then what should we do?" Nai Ge Li Si asked with a headache.

"Of course, it's to enhance one's own strength. The greater the strength one possesses, the greater the right to speak, and one won't have everything easily taken away by others. Her grandfather is an Arcane Mage who can still hold the scene for the time being. However, news I gathered from the Home of the Departed shows that her grandfather's physical condition is not too good. She's looking for a Soul Casket, presumably to use for her grandfather." Silver Coin said.

"Are Soul Caskets hard to come by? Are they worth 20 million magic crystals?" Nai Ge Li Si asked, puzzled.

It looked at Du Luo Ken, who had easily refined three or four of them, and even its own avatar had one. It shouldn't be very difficult, right? Could it be worth 20 million magic crystals?

Silver Coin smiled bitterly: "Lord Nai Ge, this is a case of the nobility not knowing the suffering of the poor, and then asking why the poor love to suffer. What level is Lord Du Luo Ken? He is the King of Alchemy. Refining a Soul Casket is, of course, very easy, but without the lord's materials, Lord Du Luo Ken couldn't conjure a Soul Casket out of thin air."

"Are the materials hard to come by?" Nai Ge Li Si really hadn't paid attention. It was the God of Knowledge, not the God of Alchemy. It knew the principle of a Soul Casket, but it wasn't clear what materials a Soul Casket needed.

"Too hard. Many of them are still specialties of the World of Death, such as Soul Moss, Soul-Calming Grass, Liquid of Rest, Breath Soil, bone powder above silver grade, and Breath Ash. Take this Breath Ash, for example; it requires a powerful soul to breathe onto Breath Soil, and then it condenses into a bit of ash. You say, how can an ordinary person get this kind of thing?" Silver Coin said.

Ang, who was bored and reaching into the Palace of Rest to plant vegetables, took out a handful of Breath Soil upon hearing this and breathed hard onto it. On the surface of the Breath Soil, a layer of ash-like debris quickly condensed.

"Yes, yes, that's this kind of thing. You say, how hard is it for an ordinary person to get this kind of thing? Unless they defect to the Empire, but if they defect to the Empire, they lose their neutrality."

Silver Coin continued: "Given her family's situation, they will definitely be targeted by the Warlock Alliance. If they can't deal with the Empire, can't they deal with them? Therefore, they must remain neutral."

Nai Ge Li Si asked, puzzled: "Then why is she looking for a Soul Casket everywhere? Isn't she afraid of being discovered by the Warlock Alliance and having them think her family is about to defect to the Undead Empire?"

Silver Coin said: "That's why I think she must be praying in a panic, which is why she's looking for me privately and quietly. Her family probably doesn't even know; otherwise, they wouldn't let her be so reckless. When she came to find me, she didn't even have much hope, and she even used 'alchemical items capable of holding a soul' to test me."

"Haha, so that's how it is. I can even imagine what her expression was when you said you could get a Soul Casket. Her jaw must have dropped, right?" Nai Ge Li Si said, feeling secretly pleased.

It didn't actually care how much money it made; anyway, it wasn't making it for itself. On the contrary, it was very keen on things like making other people's jaws drop.

"Then hurry, hurry, hurry, find Du Luo Ken to refine a Soul Casket and take it over to sell to her." Nai Ge Li Si said.

Silver Coin, however, scratched his head: "I was planning to do that at first, but Lord Anthony said it's not good. Such a large force that controls resources shouldn't lean to either side. We can't guarantee that his reincarnation won't be discovered, so a better way is to build him a new body and let him live longer."

"Build a new body? Like Anthony's?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.

"Yes, this is the power of Holy Light. By the way, ask him if he can convert to the God of Balance, but this would require Lord Ang to go out himself." Silver Coin said.

Nai Ge Li Si suddenly realized: "Damn it, this is Anthony's goal. Leaning to either side is not good, leaning to the God of Balance, the third party, is the best. Good guy, is he preparing to compete with others for manpower now?"

After the discussion was finished, they asked for Ang's opinion. What opinion could Ang have? As long as it didn't affect his farming, it was just cultivating a new body; he had plenty of essence liquid now.

However, in order to gain the other party's trust, two new bodies needed to be cultivated. Silver Coin went over first to find Lu Ti Xi Ya for materials, needing some hair, fingernails, or flesh and blood to cultivate the new bodies.

Not long after he left, Silver Coin came back covering his face, with a large palm print on it.

"What's this?" Nai Ge Li Si asked, puzzled.

Silver Coin said, laughing and crying: "I went to tell her: Lu Ti Xi Ya, I have a better way, give me a hair, I... and she inexplicably slapped me."

Nai Ge Li Si burst out laughing: "Pfft, asking a lady for hair is indeed not very appropriate. Then... the hair, did you get it back?"

"I got it back." Silver Coin handed over a tuft of golden hair.

"Uh, whose hair is it?" Nai Ge Li Si didn't take it, but asked clearly first.

"Oh, her pet's hair, a golden jumping rabbit."
