Star Immortal World
Rain standing on the ship looked toward the harbor where Mu Jiru stood watching them leave. It was already the next day and the storm stopped at the same time it started 2 days ago. Which confirmed the storm was not natural.
Yesterday after he gave Mu Jiru the exercise, He unsealed his little brother and other warriors. They transition into the new exercise easily. The base of the exercise was the same as the previous exercise, Rain removed the backdoor and added some true energy movement that helped increase the control of true energy. Rain's idea was that if they can control their true energy more efficiently then with the increased control of true energy they will be control their stiff body more easily.
Their Journey to the immortal market starts again. Rain turns around and starts to walk toward his room below the deck of the ship. He found Gou Li and Xie Lin standing in the corridor blocking his way to his room.
Seeing him, They stop talking. Rain sees Xue Lin and Gou Li looking warily at him, Rain confused asks, "What?"
Xue Lin," Nothing."
Rain, "Ok, then both of you can side a little, I went to enter my room."
Both of them, "Oh!" and stand aside to reveal a gap for Rain to pass.
Rain reaches the door of his room and turns toward them," Xie Lin, Gou Li, if you do not bother to listen to your conversation then talk inside your room." without waiting for their reply Rain enters his room and closes the door behind him.
" What they were talking about that they did not want me to know."
" Maybe some lady's stuff."
Rain was unable or catch any part of their conversation because Rain's attention was elsewhere. More accurately two books were given to him by Mu Jiru for saving his brother. When he was leaving, Mu Jiru came to him ask what I was going to buy in the immortal market.
For Rain, the most important thing he required are items that will help him create the next realm of Grandmaster. The first item is more runes with vitality rules and the second item is a book where he learns how to set up formation. So he told Wu Jiru about this. And when he was leaving Wu Jiru gifted him the two books.
Rain first took out the book named Spirit Rune. He opened the book and read the first page he understood the book was the next version of the basic rune book he had. Then Rain started to read the book to find runes with vitality rules from their name or introduction.
After finishing the book, from the names and introduction he found 8 runes with vitality rule-
1. Flesh Regeneration- Like the healing rune which heals cuts and small injuries, Flesh Regeneration heals deeper cuts, and injuries and is an advanced version Healing rune.
2. Bone healing- Like its name, it speeds up the process of healing broken bones.
3. Greater Growth- Advanced version of growth rune.
4. Vital Flame- It transforms the vital energy into flame.
5. Vine attack- It makes vines seed grow quickly into vines.
6. Earth healing- To transform unfertile lands to fertile.
7. Transformation- To transform your body.
8. Stealth- To hide the vital and true energy.
"Let's first comprehend the three runes from the basic rune book and then start with these seven runes."
"This time there are attack runes."
"I thought there would be no attack runes with vitality rules."
"Now let's read and learn about formation."
Rain returned the book to his space bag took out the second book and started reading it.
After an hour passed, Rain closed the book and contemplated what he read. There was only one formation drawing in the book. The rest explain formation. He learns there are three types of formation- Material formation, Rune formation, and Mixed formation.
Material formation- Use different materials to form a formation. Rain's main concern is Rune formation. To form a 1st rank rune formation- the 1st rank is divided into 4 divisions- Low, intermediate, High, and Peak. To create a Low 1st rank formation required to draw 9 runes from 3 base 1st rank runes.
" So, I have to draw 3 runes multiple times. The number of runes drawn from a base rune can change the formation."
" The three runes drawn three times each, the formation form will different when among the three runes, one rune drawn 5 times other two runes twice."
Intermediate 1st formation requires 15 runes drawn from 5 different runes., High 1st rank formation requires 24 runes drawn from 7 different runes and peak formation requires 33 runes drawn from 9 different runes.
To form a rune formation first step is to create a core of the formation where all the runes forming the formation are drawn. And to formation to form at last energy is required.
The hardest type of formation is all runes in formation are all different runes. Which is the Rain situation. In his soul space, only one rune can be formed each rune. And he will not be able to form a first-rank formation.
"I comprehended one rune containing vitality rule and left three runes to comprehend. Which makes the number of 1st rank runes with vitality rules 4."
"I need to find 5 more runes with vitality rules to form a formation."
"Maybe I can find it in the immortal market. And there is no hurry, before I reach peak grandmaster realm then only it will be needed."
"If I had a formation stone, I would have tried to form a formation. with the four runes I draw." But I do not have a formation stone. Runes are drawn on a formation stone to form a formation stone.
Rain closed the book and put the book inside his space bag. And thinks, before the ship reaches the immortal market let's refine the flesh. And sat cross-leg, closed his eyes, and started to manipulate his true energy to refine the flesh.
When your attention is concentrated on doing work, then time passes very quickly, Rain stops practicing when he hears a knock on his door. He stands up and opens the door to see Old Gu.
Old Gu, " Rain, We are arriving at the immortal market."
Rain, "Ok." and steps outside his room and closes the door behind him. Now with the space bag, he does not gather his luggage, as all his luggage is inside his space bag. He learns the space bag is a low-rank space bag and can hold up to 10 kilograms of items. Which is sufficient for him. His heaviest item is his sword which he kept outside in his scabbard.
He and Old Gu walk outside to the deck. From here he can see a large island with a huge mountain covered in trees in the center surrounded by water. The mountain is so huge Rain can only see halfway to the mountain rest is covered by clouds and mist obscuring the view.
Rain can see small villages on the edge of the island. There ship heads one of the villages on the island. Rain then recognizes the flag flying over the village. He has seen the flag on the ship he used to arrive at Wutan City from White Stone Town.
Rain further his guess," Old Gu that village the ship is headed to belongs to Gou Li's family."
Old Gu nods," Yes, all the immortal cultivation families inside the White Stone Mountain set up their village around the island."
Rain," They cannot live inside the immortal market."
Old Gu," They are no permanent housing inside the market. So, the immortal families and cultivators create settlements around the Island."
Rain thought Old Gu also entered the grandmaster realm so ask," Old Gu did you have a Grandmaster exercise or are you going to create it."
Old Gu," I do need to create it, I have a grandmaster exercise which can be practiced up to the organ refining realm."
Rain hears footsteps coming toward them, and turns to find Xue Lin and Gao Li also arriving at the deck and walking toward them.
Reaching him, Xue Lin, " Tonight we will stay at the Gao family village and tomorrow at dawn we will start the journey to the immortal market on the mountain peak."
Rain noticed a frown on Gao Li's face, so he inquired," Why are you frowning?"
Gao Li frowned," I am thinking about Earth Devil palace. What is their plan coming inside the white stone mountain range? Our region does not have any precious resources."
Xue Lin," May be simple blood sacrifice, inside the mountain range many settlements are in different mountains and to reach them we travel by water. Which isolates most of the settlement. Some settlements do not have a connection with the outside world for a year."
Gao Li nods," Maybe this is it, but why they are spreading the corpse transformation exercise."
"I do not think they require Grandmaster Corpse monster for fighting."
Old Gu," Maybe to scout dangerous places."
Xue Lin," Then they can use puppets."
The group became silent as they felt a black cloud of turmoil looming over the horizon.
