Chapter 114 - 114. Cloud Snakes and Immortal Market

Rain looks ahead of him the path is covered by clouds and mist. Today at dawn after having breakfast, Rain with Xue Lin, Old Gu, Gao Li, Gao Li's aunt, and some family members with a Cloud Mountain Goat carrying the coffin inside the corpse of the turtle mask.

Rain is thinking with his practice speed when he can reach the late flesh refining realm. After the breakthrough intermediate flesh refining realm was able to refine his flesh for two hours.

The body star only increased by 0.002 in two hours of practice. If he practices for 10 hours daily then it will at least 9 months for him to where he start breaking through the late flesh refining realm.

This is without resources if he uses resources the time will shorten. He will have to buy the poison, Gou Li mentioned. What was the name of the poison? Soul Chip responds- Shadow Poison. 

Rain thought fondly of the memory of Radiation World Rain's memory of practicing in the gravity room. If there was gravity room in this world, He would have not required any poison to refine his body. He does not even the Shadow Poison will be effective for him. 

The Shadow Poison is the lowest rank poison effective against Grandmaster warrior. It is a popular poison for refining the body because the poison is without any elemental attribute except poison attribute and it is low in danger.

When the poison is applied to a Grandmaster warrior, It first paralyzes the muscles of the body and after one it starts causing damage. The assassins use this poison because it causes a paralyzing effect in a few seconds. As the Grandmaster in combat, he cannot suppress the poison with his true energy or have time to take an antidote.

When refining the body, when the poison is applied to the body we start to fight against the paralyzing effect, and the damage effect takes a week to begin. Only when we left the poison alone to do his work. Then the poison can begin to cause damage. But if I am refining my flesh then the average grandmaster takes 10 hours to destroy the poison in the body for me it will be shorter with my vitality attribute true energy.

Even if the poison's effect is lower in refining flesh, Rain will still use the poison until his body becomes immune to poison. So if his enemy uses the poison against him then it will not be effective. Rain thinks," My true energy is laced with Vitality energy attribute. Which means I can use any poison to refine my flesh. So I find other powerful poison which only acts on the flesh of the body, I can buy them."

" My list of what I want to purchase is increasing." Rain remembers something thinking about what he wants to purchase. " I have to search for items in the market with similar ability." 

He found Rune similar ability of a gravity room. One rune each was found in the two books but the same name and ability only the power increase. The name of the rune is Heavy rune for its name its ability. The rune in the basic book adds a weight of 10 kg and 2nd rune book is 1000kg.

Now the main concern is spirit stone because without spirit stone he will not be able to buy anything. Rain corner of my eyes fell on the coffin now the dead turtle mask's body. 

"Xue Lin said the dead body of a beginning refining cultivator is 200 to 400 spirit stones. I should take 200 spirit stones as the bounty I will get. Then the most important things for me are shadow poison, other poison, and a formation stone. I do not how much dose of shadow poison is needed for me to be immune from it."

" Xue Lin said a dose of shadow poison cost 2 spirit stones, then I will buy 20 of them and the formation stone cost 50 spirit stones. After buying the spirit left with me will be 110 spirit stones. Then I keep 60 spirit stones for other poison and 50 spirit stones to see if I want any other thing."

"I can also sell the runes drawn by me. I have more than 346 basic runes. If the 10 basic rune price is 1 spirit stone, then If I sell all of them I will have 34 spirit stones. But I cannot sell all of them or it will draw attention to me."

" If I want to sell all of them, I will have to separate from Xue Lin and others change my appearance hide my identity sell them to multiple shops. And also there are things of the turtle mask in the space bag, I will also sell them."

" I can sell the Gao family store."

" I should buy another formation stone, there are Heavy runes in the books, and I can comprehend the Heavy rules from them and create a formation similar to the gravity room of Radiation world."

Rain suddenly stumbles and finds his feet crashing into a rock. He did not feel any pain but it breaks daydreaming. Even with his improved sense, he cannot see a few feet ahead of him. The Clouds and the cold mist obscured the vision. 

His stumbles were not noticed by anyone in the group as he was walking behind everyone. He quickly runs to join them again. 

" When we will reach the immortal market?" They had at least walked 3 hours now. The Soul Chip answered- 3 hours 21 Minutes.

Rain walking behind them, suddenly hears the hissing of a snake, and not one but multiple from his back and the sound is coming closer. " Cloud Snake." Xue Lin mentions in the Cloud layer of the mountain there are Cloud Snakes and they attack people climbing the mountain.

Rain shouts," Stop." and everyone halts. 

Everyone turns to face Rain and Questions in their mouth why did Rain stop them? But before they can question. Rain and everyone hear the hissing of snakes. And now from every direction.

Gou Li's aunt," We are surrounded."

Rain," I will take the back."

Gou Li's aunt," No need you are our guest. My family members can handle them." after a few seconds she continued," There are no first-rank cloud snakes among them."

Rain nods and steps back. A Gou family member takes his place. Rain hears Old Gu," I will protect the left side."

Gou Li's Aunt," It's ok, we can handle it."

Old Gu," I am itching to fight after I enter the Grandmaster realm."

Gou Li's Aunt, "Ok."

Rain in the center of the group watches as old Gu protects the left side and the other three sides are left to the other three Gou family members. Gou Li's Aunt stays at the center.

He remained at the center as the Cloud Snake came into his View. They're Body is made of clouds in the shape of a snake. Rain found they do not have eyes and on their forehead is a Blue crystal.

And the fight started, The Gou family protecting the three sides manipulated small weapons to strike the blue crystal on the cloud snake's head. The Cloud snake's body is made of clouds so, attacking their body is no use. Every attack passes through their body without harming them.

The Blue crystal is their only weakness, damaging the blue crystal is the only way to kill them. The Blue crystal breaks into pieces and the cloud snake disappears. Rain turns his attention to Old Gu fighting with his spear against the Cloud snakes. 

Old Gu Spears is surrounded by a bronze metallic light and every attack from Old Gu is deadly and accurate it destroys the blue crystal.

The fight lasted for 20 minutes. And they again started walking uphill.

Gu Li's aunt," I hate fighting against Cloud snakes, they do not leave anything behind."

Rain also notices to kill the Cloud snake is to destroy the blue crystal on their forehead, which is only the physical part of the body, and the rest is made of clouds.

Rain walked for more than 2 hours and then the group stopped. Rain watched as Gou Li's aunt stepped forward to the group and raised her palm shining with blue light as put in front of her.

Rain watches the scenery part, like tearing a painting She walks inside and the rest follows behind, Rain too. Rain now found himself on a flat ground not the inclined of the mountain before. 

He can see before him, a building surrounded by a white stone wall. Seeing this Rain thinks," It must be the market." Rain turns around to see behind the path they walk. The mountain is a plateau. A plateau surrounded by clouds. 

Rain following them starts to walk toward the gate. Upon entering the market, Rain found it like any ordinary market with stalls set on the street and shops on both sides and the straight head is a large three-storey white tower towering over the market.

Xue Lin," Aunt, Let us first go to claim the bounty." Rain notices many guards and people inside the market looking at the coffin. Rain also agrees with Xue Lin to claim the bounty first. So he can start his shopping.

Rain," Yes, Let's go to where I can claim the bounty. After confirmation on the corpse that belongs to Earth Devil School and then you can send back the information to your family."

Gou Li's aunt agreed and they started walking straight ahead but the rest of the Gou family members separated from the group heading to their left.
