Chapter 681 - 268: Loot Tally, Crisis Approaches (Part 3)
Back in those days, selling fur was even more profitable.
"This is way too lazy. After chilling by the warm stove for an hour, I don’t wanna go outside at all!"
Yi Tian sat around the big stove with Little Kiddo, Liyue and Qixin.
There were peanuts and sweet potatoes roasting over the fire.
Every now and then you’d hear the crisp crack of Little Kiddo shelling peanuts, it was a real cozy vibe!
Every time night falls, it’s always wind and snow raging outside!
Hardly any Lords go out at night.
The voice of the Celestial Dao Fish would sound out from time to time.
Yi Tian logged the stats on all his Celestial Dao Fish.
B-level Celestial Dao Fish, four in total: Power Celestial Dao Fish x1, Physical Celestial Dao Fish x1, Agile Celestial Dao Fish x1, Spirit Celestial Dao Fish x1 (originally ten, six upgraded with Heavenly and Earthly Treasures).
A-level Celestial Dao Fish, fifty-six in total: Power Celestial Dao Fish x12, Physical Celestial Dao Fish x11, Agile Celestial Dao Fish x10, Spiritual Power Celestial Dao Fish x11, Spirit Celestial Dao Fish x12.
S-level Celestial Dao Fish, eighty in total: Power Celestial Dao Fish x17, Physical Celestial Dao Fish x14, Agile Celestial Dao Fish x14, Spiritual Power Celestial Dao Fish x18, Spirit Celestial Dao Fish x17.
SS-level Celestial Dao Fish, eighty in total: Power Celestial Dao Fish x15, Physical Celestial Dao Fish x16, Agile Celestial Dao Fish x16, Spiritual Power Celestial Dao Fish x15, Spirit Celestial Dao Fish x18.
SSS-level Celestial Dao Fish, ten in total: Power Celestial Dao Fish x2, Physical Celestial Dao Fish x2, Agile Celestial Dao Fish x1, Spiritual Power Celestial Dao Fish x2, Spirit Celestial Dao Fish x3.
Total increase to Spiritual Power: 327.
But Yi Tian wasn’t satisfied yet. He was gonna grab some Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to feed the Spirit Celestial Dao Fish.
He didn’t have a ton of S-level or SS-level Heavenly and Earthly Treasures right now.
But if he just picked a few flowers or plucked a few grass blades, it’d be fine overall, wouldn’t harm the treasures.
The other Celestial Dao Fish would wait until S-level before getting their share.
Yi Tian only fed the Spirit Celestial Dao Fish.
Fifty-one Spirit Celestial Dao Fish in total, giving Yi Tian 510 Spiritual Power.
Yi Tian took Liyue (the one holding the Heavenless Bead) outside to find Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.
After some tests, he found it wasn’t hard to make the Celestial Dao Fish evolve.
Even SS-level ones needed just half an SS-level flower to finish their evolution.
SS-level Celestial Dao Fish wouldn’t react to S-level or lower Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.
SS-level Spirit Flowers and Herbs, Yi Tian had fourteen types, over sixty plants. If he upgraded only Spirit Celestial Dao Fish, it wouldn’t affect their growth.
The other four Celestial Dao Fish, he’d use at max A-level Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to turn them into S-level Celestial Dao Fish.
Soon, fifty-one SSS-level Spirit Celestial Dao Fish were ready.
Each one was half a foot long.
Yi Tian had eaten one Physical Celestial Dao Fish before, didn’t feel much, just got a stat bump.
Yi Tian learned from the chat channel that once a Celestial Dao Fish goes in your stomach, it turns straight into energy, doesn’t fill up your body like normal food.
Some Lords even said it’s easier to digest raw than cooked.
But Yi Tian still chose to steam them before eating.
They didn’t taste good anyway, and in this cold weather, eating them raw would be even harder to swallow.
The Spirit Celestial Dao Fish were still steaming, so Yi Tian could righteously stay by the fire.
Just then, Purple Phoenix Moon Dance sent Yi Tian a message.
"[Gold Element Warrior Design Map x100][Wood Element Warrior Design Map x100]...[Overlord Battle Soldier Design Map x100]...[Five Elements Battle Soldiers Design Map x10][Five Elements Core x3] trade [none]."
Yi Tian asked Purple Phoenix Moon Dance to help gather Warrior Design Maps, since Celestial Dao Fortune had held him up a bit.
Yi Tian accepted the design maps.
Total Elemental Warrior Design Maps: 998.
Total Giant Spirit Warrior Design Maps: 103, Overlord Battle Soldier Design Maps: 105, Streamlight Warrior Design Maps: 107.
Five Elements Battle Soldiers Design Maps: 80. Five Elements Core: 35 pieces.
Getting all these blueprints cost Purple Phoenix Moon Dance quite a bit of money and time.
Yi Tian shifted his consciousness into his Storage Ring to see what was inside.
"[SSS-level Yin Yang Transformation Pill x1][SS-level Acupoint Golden Core x1][SS-level Dragon Tendon Tiger Bone Pill x1][S-level Celestial Leopard Blood-Rushing Pill x1] trade [none]."
Yi Tian traded a bunch of duplicate Pills to Purple Phoenix Moon Dance.
The Yin Yang Transformation Pill came from the first Seven-Colored Glazed Treasure Chest he opened, Yi Tian had five, and never put them in the Points Tower.
The Yin Yang Transformation Pill gives +100 three-dimensional Spiritual Power to all stats—not really fair to split among the Little Kiddos.
He gave one to Purple Phoenix Moon Dance so she could power up a bit.
Purple Phoenix Moon Dance was super generous, never shy about accepting stuff from Yi Tian.
"Yi Tian, stay alert. I heard a Lord found something called [Territorial Teleportation Talisman], lets you teleport precisely anywhere in your region. Haven’t seen it myself, but I bet it’s real." Purple Phoenix Moon Dance gave Yi Tian a heads-up.
"I know, I also picked up one of those. When the time comes, back me up!" Yi Tian replied to Purple Phoenix Moon Dance.
Yi Tian had a Fire Sacred Jade. At that moment, he planned to lend Fourth Child’s Fire Sacred Jade to Purple Phoenix Moon Dance for a bit.
Purple Phoenix Moon Dance absolutely had the power to fight with the top ten Lords.
You gotta admit, her Silver Wood Gold Tea supply never runs dry, and this time she got some solid Celestial Dao Fortune too.
Purple Phoenix Moon Dance had S-level Spiritual Power as soon as she dropped into the Celestial Dao World. Now, with a 30% boost to her Basic Spiritual Power, that’s scary stuff.
Stronger Basic Spiritual Power means her Martial Skills and Mystical Techniques stack even harder.
"My rates aren’t cheap!" Purple Phoenix Moon Dance acted all tsundere.
"Name your price for mercenary work when the time comes, even ten billion would be fine!"
Ever since Yi Tian got the Territorial Teleportation Talisman, he’d felt like needles under his seat.
If a powerhouse invades, Yi Tian would immediately break through to S-level and summon the S-level Mercenary Purple Phoenix Moon Dance.
The size of his territory would give Yi Tian enough buffer time.
Purple Phoenix Moon Dance had her own shop, Yi Tian had marked it. If he couldn’t reach her, he could just use the Store System.
Besides, Purple Phoenix Moon Dance found weapon crafting pretty boring, so she’s usually online anyway.
Still, Purple Phoenix Moon Dance immediately offered an even better idea: "That makes me seem too greedy. I’ve updated my mercenary status to active; it’s one hundred million Celestial Dao Coin per job!"
Even though Lords clash from time to time, no way anyone would actually pay a hundred million Celestial Dao Coin for a hire, and it wouldn’t clog up the queue either.
Some folks might even secretly curse her for it.
But even if Purple Phoenix Moon Dance is asleep, Yi Tian can still hire her instantly.
A hundred million Celestial Dao Coin is pocket change for Yi Tian.
"By the way, you reached mid-stage S yet?" Yi Tian asked Purple Phoenix Moon Dance.
"Just hit it!" she replied.
Hearing that, Yi Tian could finally relax.
With the Fire Sacred Jade boost, more than 7,000 Spiritual Power, there’s no way any of the top ten on the Combat Power Golden List are that high-level.
