Chapter 1188 Treasure
After putting away the origin substance and the Feathered God’s corpse, Greem’s gaze landed on the divine power crystals.
Divine power crystals. They sounded like they were similar to magical crystals, a concentration of elementium, or a different form of energy!
However, magical crystals were only concentrations of magic energy that could be found anywhere. Divine power crystals, on the other hand, were crystallized, concentrated divine power.
Just as water had a liquid state and ice was its solid state, divine power crystals were the ‘solid’ state of incredibly concentrated faith power.
Under natural circumstances, faith power would never concentrate and crystallize in this manner.
Only gods who used their power to gather faith power could transform the state of divine energy into crystals.
That meant every divine power crystal contained a trace of a god’s power.

As expected, the information pulled up by the Chip covered all sorts of domains, including hatching, devouring, blood ritual, cultivation, and many more. The most cost-efficient of these solutions was to hatch the Feathered Serpent and to cultivate it into a fearsome divine creature.
However, this process would take upwards of a thousand years. All sorts of rare resources would also have to be consumed during this process. In all honesty, Greem had absolutely no confidence he could wait around until the Feathered Serpent was grown.
Another option was to conduct a blood ritual to turn the Feathered Serpent’s bloodline into nourishment for Greem’s body. According to the Chip’s estimate, if all went well, Greem would not only be able to heal the damage to his soul origin but also improve his Physique and bloodline potential by a significant margin.
Thus, without any hesitation, Greem chose to conduct the blood ritual.
As Greem made up his mind, the Chip immediately projected a list of items in his mind.
These were the resources required for the ritual.
Greem took out a blank scroll and placed it on his forehead. The list of items was perfectly copied over. He then sliced through the air with his finger, creating a small rift in space. He then put the scroll into the rift.
While he was doing all this, Gargamel was hunched over a table in the Crimson Wing, busy writing away with his quill. Emelia and Eva were by his side, helping him deal with the multitude of clan affairs.
A flash of fire appeared above his head as a rift was torn in space. A scroll glowing with a red rune fell onto his desk.
“These are the items I require soon. Collect them as fast as possible and send them to Fire Throne. Report to me if any of them poses a difficulty.”
Gargamel had just touched the rune on the scroll when Greem’s intimidating voice boomed out in the room. He opened the scroll, and a series of words were projected into the air.
“A Fourth Grade soul altar.”
“30 grams of Serpentbane hops.”
“A set of high-grade soul-transfer equipment.”
“A soul-locking crystal.”
……
……
Row upon row of resources was listed, almost all of them a rare, top-tier adept item.
Even as experienced as he was, Gargamel had only heard of most of these items in name, without having ever seen them before. A frown appeared on his face when he saw the list. His face was full of frustration and hesitation.
“What’s difficult about this?” Emelia still seemed as relaxed as ever. “The clan leader knows the situation and wealth of our clan. We can send over what we have first and try and borrow the others from other clans.”
Gargamel finally relaxed when he heard his daughter break down the task.
“Send a copy of this list to Meryl. We will try and put together what we have. Since the clan leader has directly given out this order, he must be in a hurry. I will pay a visit to the Fourth Grade clans.”
“There’s no need, father. Don’t be in a hurry to go.” Emelia’s eyes rolled around. She couldn’t help but chuckle. “Lady Mary just advanced to Fourth Grade. Our clan will most certainly be holding a banquet. Let news of this spread out first. Wait until the eve of the celebration before you make your visit. The rise of our Crimson Clan is obvious to anyone with two eyes. When that happens, you won’t have to be worried about borrowing a few little resources, will you?”
Gargamel gave it some thought and nodded, impressed by the suggestion.
News of Mary’s advancement quickly spread, and Zhentarim was shocked once again.
This time, it wasn’t just the small and intermediate adept clans that couldn’t sit still any longer. Even the dozen Fourth Grade organizations were moved. The most excited among all of them had to be the vampire clans.
It had been several thousand years since the last Fourth Grade vampire appeared in Zhentarim!
As such, vampires clans of varying size and fame all over the continent couldn’t suppress the call of their blood. They hurried to the Crimson Clan as fast as they could.
In just one month, four vampire clans had already joined Mary’s forces, increasing the number of Third Grade vampires in the Crimson Clan to as many as six!
Of course, these vampire clans all had their own territories in Zhentarim prior to this. Thus, small outposts were established for the Crimson Clan all over Zhentarim, expanding their influence to as many as five regions.
The vampires also rapidly grew to become the strongest faction in the Crimson Clan, with the most potential as well!
An ordinary adept clan was actually home to two Fourth Grade adepts now. Moreover, these two Fourth Grades had a very intimate relationship as a couple.
In all honesty, all the Fourth Grade organizations in Zhentarim felt the pressure on their shoulders when they heard this news.
Anyone who wasn’t a fool couldn’t help but realize that change was coming to Zhentarim!
