Chapter 1004: Source Oilment
Chapter 1004: Source Oilment
No matter how strong you were, there would be people that weren’t afraid of you. There would still be people who wanted and could kill you.
Ye Zhongming still wanted to live, so he was very careful.
But he couldn\'t take it when he heard about the Chrysanthemum Cloud, and his aura exploded.
That thing was too important to him.
Facing the terrifying gaze of a seven-star evolved, the five-star evolved Sani couldn’t take it. His body went soft, and he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
This was the first time Sheikha Saeed saw Ye Zhongming like this, and he was shocked. He quickly tried to calm the atmosphere, and only then did Ye Zhongming release Sani.
Cloud Peak warriors lowered their guns, which caused the situation to relax a little.
“Are you sure you are trying to find the Chrysanthemum Cloud?” Although Ye Zhongming released him, he still stared and asked.Sani nodded and wondered if East Asians were sick in the head.
Ye Zhongming clenched his fists instinctively.
It was a stone flower, but it got its name because it looked like it was hidden in clouds. After some mutated plants died, such a thing would grow on their corpses.
There weren’t many of them, and few people knew about them. They also didn’t have a very magical function.
But it was the core material of a recipe.
Source Oilment!
Honestly, Ye Zhongming knew that this recipe for alchemists or potion masters had a few core ingredients, but he didn’t know everything in it.
He was able to recall this recipe because… Yellow Ball needed it.
Right, this was one of the ways to let Yellow Ball recover from the side effects of the Avenger Storm.
Ye Zhongming knew a few ways how it could recover and wake up from the metal state.
The first was to find a beast tamer and get him to use the highest-level beast awakening technique.
But this was tough. Beast tamers were rare. Moreover, the strength of this job will only appear in the later stages. People who learned this job found it hard to progress at the start. The start of the apocalypse was the most dangerous, and very few of them could survive.
Two years had passed, and he had not met a proper beast tamer, much less someone who could raise the job to the highest grade and have the highest level of skills.
Even Ye Zhongming couldn’t get job advancement scrolls now, much less beast tamers who found it hard to survive at the start.
Even if he wanted to nurture one from scratch, it would take a long time.
The second way is to have a large-sized beast pool-type equipment and use the warm temperature function to melt it slowly.
But this was also problematic. Beast pools were hard to get, and huge ones were even rarer. Until now, Ye Zhongming only had the beast hive, but it was small. As for big ones… Ye Zhongming had told Cannibal Chain that money was not a problem.
But he recalled the expression that Cannibal Chain’s permanent Puxing Town member had when he said it.
Although he didn’t say it outright, it was clear.
If there were such a piece of equipment, Cannibal Chain would keep it and wouldn’t sell it, no matter the price. Why would they give it to Ye Zhongming?
This showed how precious such equipment was.
One reason Ye Zhongming wanted to own Blue Secret Realm was that he didn’t want to abandon the resources: crystals, herbs, stones, soul gems, and a huge number of monsters that he could kill.
But there was another reason. Ye Zhongming needed large amounts of level-eight crystals. Not only did he want to evolve to level eight, but it was also because large beast pools appeared on the level-eight wheels.
As long as you could get one, Yellow Ball would be saved.
The third was the source ointment. It was an herb or alchemist\'s product that could help a lifeform recover to its original state.
The medicine didn’t focus on treating the Avenger Storm. It was more about repairing broken limbs, dispelling negative states, and removing curses.
It could be used on humans and also battle beasts. It was very effective, so one could tell its price.
Ye Zhongming didn’t know where the recipe was but knew about the Chrysanthemum cloud.
Although there was just a bit of hope of saving Yellow Ball with this thing, and it might take a long time to craft the source ointment, hope was still hope. At least he could see some.
Thus, he was excited.
“There is a sand valley occupied by mutated bushes near Tubaik Mountain. For some reason, those bushes died, and someone saw Chrysanthemum clouds nearby. News spread, so I came to try my luck.”
Sani told everything he knew and didn’t dare to hide.
“Why do you need it?”
Ye Zhongming squinted his eyes. He hoped that he had the recipe. Even if he learned it, it was okay.
But he received a disappointing response.
“Chrysanthemum Cloud mixed with the liquid of three mutated plants can replace essence blood sometimes.”
En?
Replace essence blood?
Ye Zhongming was surprised. Essence blood could be substituted?
He continued looking at Sani, but he didn’t look like he was lying.
“If, if you are willing, we can give you the completed medicine.”
People who knew their place were common in the apocalypse. This wasn’t embarrassing. To stay alive, it was worth it to hand over some things.
Sani understood wrongly and thought that Ye Zhongming was interested.
“En.” Ye Zhongming nodded and then asked, “Do you know about source ointment?”
Sani and Sheikha Saeed looked at each other and shook their heads.
…………
…………
The team proceeded after that short interruption, but there was one more group of people. On the next afternoon, they were near their destination.
Cloud Peak killed many desert monsters on the way. Ye Zhongming had one level eight crystal and two level seven crystals.
They stopped two kilometers from their destination. The Exquisite Floating Ball scouted, and the outcome shocked him.
There was a battle!
