Chapter 791 - Dark Stone
Su Mo was delighted when he saw Master Chen’s reaction.
“Master Chen, it seems like you know about these two materials!” Su Mo said in a deep voice.
Master Chen nodded and replied, “That’s right. Both of them are required to craft Spiritual Swords!”
Su Mo was amazed that his knowledge. He had underestimated this 800 years old relic!
“Are you crafting a Spiritual Sword, Supervisor Su? Master Chen stared at Su Mo intently and asked.
Su Mo felt a suffocating pressure from his gaze as if the space around him had solidified!
“I’ve acquired the partial formula of a Spiritual Sword, so I want collect and study the materials needed, in the hope that I can craft a Spiritual Sword in the future!” Su Mo replied with a smile. He did not tell Master Chen the truth because the formula of Spiritual Sword was too precious to be revealed to anyone.
“Partial formula?”
Master Chen’s eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked, “Supervisor Su, can you show me your partial formula?”
“That’s…?” Su Mo hesitated. How could he possibly give him Spiritual Sword’s formula!
Master Chen realised he was too rash when he saw Su Mo’s expression. He then smiled awkwardly and continued, “Supervisor Su, I’ve actually found a partial formula several hundred years ago too. We may be able to recreate the complete formula by collating our formulas!”
“Really?” Su Mo was astonished that Master Chen was lucky enough to acquire Spiritual Sword’s formula as well.
“Definitely!” Su Mo could not turn him down, so he took out a jade slip and imprinted Spiritual Sword’s formula on it.
He obviously didn’t hand over the complete formula. He only gave Master Chen a third of the normal Spiritual Sword’s formula instead of the Natal Spiritual Sword’s formula.
Su Mo exchanged jade slips with Master Chen after he imprinted the formula.
He examined the jade slip from Master Chen and discovered that it was actually the formula of the Natal Spiritual Sword.
However, it only listed around 200 materials that were required, which included Blood-striped Seed and Divine Jade. That was less than half of the actual formula.
Su Mo did not care if Master Chen had only given him a fraction of the formula that he had obtained. He was sure that he could not piece together the complete formula.
That was because he handed Master Chen the partial formula of the normal Spiritual Sword, but what Master Chen had was the partial formula of Natal Spiritual Sword.
Although both types of Spiritual Swords required many identical materials, there were several glaring differences too.
Master Chen was extremely excited as he scrutinized the jade slip.
Then, they returned the jade slips to each other after studying the contents.
“That’s definitely the formula of Spiritual Sword, because our partial formulas shared many similarities. I may actually piece together the complete formula if I spend more time studying them!”
Master Chen seemed to have become younger as he smiled brightly. Crafting Spiritual Swords had always been his dream since a long time ago, and he finally saw a glimmer of hope.
“Master Chen, I’m looking for Blood-striped Seed and Divine Jade. Do you know where can I find them?” Su Mo asked in a deep voice. It was almost impossible for Master Chen to derive the complete formula, and he would not care even if he did.
He only wanted to know where he could find Blood-striped Seed and Divine Jade.
Master Chen thought for a while and replied, “I’d obtained the partial formula several hundred years ago. Even though I didn’t look for these materials, I roughly know their whereabouts.”
He had never bothered collecting the materials because he only had a partial formula, but he was quite knowledgeable about them.
“Oh? Please enlighten me!” Su Mo quickly clasped his fists at Master Chen.
“Blood-striped Seed only exists in the Mist Mountains. However, there aren’t anymore Divine Jade in the entire world!” He replied.
Er….
Su Mo was stunned to hear him. He already knew that he could find Blood-striped Seed in the Mist Mountains. However, he found it hard to believe that there was no Divine Jade in this world anymore.
He could not craft his Natal Spiritual Sword without Divine Jade. In that case, Shangguan Hao would surely defeat him in the upcoming battle.
Su Mo had no chance of winning!
His heart sank because he had to find another way to defeat Shangguan Hao if he could not craft the Natal Spiritual Sword.
His other option was fusing the five elements together and converting them into Chaotic Force.
However, that was the tougher option because he was unable to even fuse three elements together at the moment.
At this instance, Master Chen continued, “Although I failed to find Divine Jade after looking through all the ancient scriptures, I managed to find its replacement!”
“What? Its replacement?”
Su Mo was startled and thrilled to hear him, and he asked, “What’s its replacement?”
“Dark Stone!”
Master Chen said in a deep voice, “Dark Stone and Divine Jade are extremely similar in terms of their properties and utilities, so I believe that Dark Stone could replace Divine Jade!”
Master Chen did not know that Su Mo had the complete formula, and he thought that Su Mo wanted to collect and study the materials to derive Spiritual Sword’s complete formula.
Hence, he told Su Mo everything he knew.
“Dark Stone!”
Su Mo murmured to himself and then asked uncertainly, “Are you sure that it can replace Divine Jade?”
If Master Chen baselessly believed that Dark Stone could replace Divine Jade, Su Mo could not take his words for real!
“Definitely!” Master Chen continued confidently, “Although it may be less effective, it can definitely replace Divine Jade.”
Su Mo was overjoyed to hear that. If it could really replace Divine Jade, he did not mind if it was less effective!
“Master, are Dark Stones rare?” Su Mo quickly followed up with another question. He would be rest assured if Dark Stone was a common material.
Master Chen shook his head and replied, “Dark Stone is also a rare treasure that could only be found in the Waste Domain!”
“Which continent does the Waste Domain reside in?” Su Mo asked again, because the concept of “domains” did not exist in the Central Continent. Therefore, Waste Domain must be in one of the four other continents.
Master Chen shook his head again and said, “Waste Domain is not part of Firmament and Continent. It resides on the Plane!”
“Can you tell me where its entrance is?” Su Mo clasped his fists at Master Chen respectfully. He was a great help to him.
“The entrance of Waste Domain only opens once a year. It is within 5,000 kilometers from Ancient City, but its exact location always changes!” Said Master Chen.
Su Mo frowned to hear that. If it only opened once a year, he did not know if he had time for it.
Master Chen smiled when he saw Su Mo’s frown and said, “Supervisor Su, you’ve come at the right time. Waste Domain’s entrance will open in less than half a month!”
