Chapter 43 – Master Jasmine (2)
To immediately have a new set of profound veins…
Profound veins with the strength of a god!?
Jasmine’s few sentences were like a sudden clap of thunder to the Yun Che who had endlessly desired a way to repair his profound veins.
He told Xiao Lingxi that he’d definitely become strong and return within three years of time… yet was very clear about the condition of his profound vein and understood that the repairing of his profound veins, within three years, was very unlikely. The reason why he made such a claim, was to pressure himself to the limit. Only through such conviction can one achieve their maximum potential.
And right now, Jasmine has clearly stated that… She could immediately provide Yun Che with a new set of profound veins! Furthermore, this new set of profound veins also came with the strength of a god!
He did not know what the “Strength of a God” Jasmine had spoke of, but the three words, “New Profound Veins” , caused his heart to fill with excitement. He suppressed this excitement, and stared at Jasmine: “You are… speaking the truth?”
“What reason would I, this princess, have to lie to you?” said the girl, her face pink with pride.
Yun Che didn’t know what to say… Indeed, given the terrible might of her Emperor Profound Realm level of power, there would be no reason for her to waste her efforts in deceiving a normal person, let alone a cripple! To let a person acquire a new set of Profound Veins within a short period of time, in the eyes of a normal person, even in the eyes of the “exceptionally skilled spirit doctor” Yun Che, would be nothing short of a miracle. But as Jasmine uttered those words, there was not even a hint of deception from her aura.
However, her red hair gave away the fact she was not a human from the Profound Sky Continent, for her age was fairly young, her aura terrifying, and the poison on her person was something even the Sky Poison Pearl could not identify… How many other mysteries does she still have??
Maybe, she really had a strange method that could allow him to obtain a new set of profound veins in such a short period of time… If that really was possible, then he would have a surefire chance to realize the promise he made to Xiao Lie and Xiao Lingxi.
As he thought about it, Yun Che’s gaze started to burn: “Okay… then tell me, what are the three conditions I have to promise you?”
Jasmine knew he definitely couldn’t reject her offer so she just cut to the chase and directly answered: “The first condition, you must promise to help this princess find three items… They are: A stalk of Netherworld Udumbara Flower, three Profound Beast Pellets no lower than that of the Tyrant Profound Realm as well as… At least thirty five kilos of Purple Veined God Crystal!”
(TL: Udumbara reference)
Yun Che listened very carefully… When Jasmine had said until the “Netherworld Udumbara Flower”, his eyebrows went limp. He had heard of the name “Netherworld Udumbara Flower” from his master before, however he had never seen it before. When his master had told him about it that time, the Netherworld Udumbara Flower was an object of Yin and evil in the world; it only grew in dark and cold lands, its stem and leaves are of a purplish black color, and it took an entire twenty four years to only bloom once, the bloomed flower was of an extremely pretty and flirtatious bright purple color. On its petals lingered a light purple mist that carried the breath of the netherworld, and while that mist drifted, it still faintly lets out the crying and laughing sounds of the nether ghosts. The flower withered three days after blooming, thus one would have to wait twenty fours later for it to bloom once more.
His master had not mentioned the usefulness of the Netherworld Udumbara Flower; he only said that if a normal person gets close to it, he would get invaded by the nether gases, ending in a coma in light cases and death in the worst.
Going to a dark and cold land to find a stalk of flower that only bloomed once every twenty four years, that could cause death when approaching it… Yun Che moved his eyebrows and did not overreact. If Jasmine could really bestow on him a new set of profound veins, this request was not considered unreasonable…
However the second item Jasmine had said almost caused him to cry out involuntarily…
Three Profound Beast pellets no lower than the Tyrant Profound Realm!! Are you kidding me!?
What was the Tyrant Profound Realm? That was a legendary realm that numerous profound practitioners could not attain, a realm so high up that they couldn’t even see it. If one looked within the entire Blue Wind Empire, there were a few in the Emperor Profound Realm; however, it was confirmed that none were in the Tyrant Profound Realm! Experts in the Emperor Profound Realm were known to reach the “Throne”, while for the Tyrant Profound Realm, they were known as a “Tyrant”; this meant that once one attained this realm, one would be the absolute ruler of heaven and earth, that none could ever defy!
Let’s not speak of the present Blue Wind Empire now; even within an entire thousand years, an ultimate expert of the Tyrant Profound Realm had never appeared within the Blue Wind Empire.
And with just a word from Jasmine, she wanted three Profound Beast Pellet no lower than the Tyrant Profound Realm! To get these three pellets, he must kill three Tyrant Profound Beasts! The first problem would be where he would find the three Tyrant Profound Beasts… Within the Blue Wind Empire, who would even dare to offend a Tyrant Profound Beast?
Above the Emperor Profound Realm, every step up brings one closer to Heaven. Even five people at the peak of the Emperor Profound Realm had no chance of winning against someone at the first level of the Tyrant Profound Realm. With that said, it meant that even if all the Emperor Profound Realm experts of Blue Wind Empire gathered together, they still would not be able to deal with even one Tyrant Profound Beast. Three Profound Beast pellets no lower than Tyrant Profound Realm… one would reckon that the heads of the four major sects would fly into a outrage after hearing this request.
And as for the third item Jasmine had mentioned, Yun Che nearly fell on his butt in shock.
At least thirty five kilos of Purple Veined God Crystal… It was Purple Veined God Crystal, not Purple Veined Heaven Crystal! Purple Veined Heaven Crystals were considered to be priceless treasures in this world. A piece of Purple Veined Heaven Crystal as big as a fingernail was considered to be invaluable, and only those huge sects deserved to have it; normal profound practitioners did not even dare to think about having one. Purple Veined God Crystals are made by extracting from Purple Veined Heaven Crystals; a house sized Purple Veined Heaven Crystal was estimated to only provide a Purple Veined God Crystal that was the size of a fingernail.
In that case, 35 kilos of Purple Veined God Crystal…
“~!@#$%…”
Yun Che had the reason to believe that even if one added up all the Purple Veined God Crystals in the entire Profound Sky Continent, it would not even total 35 kilos. And if there really existed this amount of Purple Veined God Crystal, in that case, its value would be enough to buy at least three Blue Wind Empires!
“Are… you… sure… you aren’t… teasing me?” When Yun Che spoked, air kept leaking out between his teeth. He believed anyone in the Blue Wind Empire would be shocked that they would end in a stutter if they heard this request.
The expression on Jasmine’s face had no trace of joking around. She coldly stared and said: “The poison has invaded my soul; even with the Sky Poison Pearl, it would take a number of years before it would detoxify completely. After the poison on me had detoxified, I would have to rebuild my body. And these three items are necessary for me to rebuild my body, not a single one is dispensable!”
“… Then the time?”
“Thirty years!”
Thirty years? This timing finally let Yun Che let out a small sigh and slowly nodded his head: “Okay! I agreed to this condition!”
Rubbish! Thirty years was still a long time, so if course it would be thought about after making the promise. As for the Netherworld Udumbara Flower, the Tyrant Profound Beast’s pellets and thirty five kilos of Purple Veined God Crystal… anyway there was still thirty years! It shall be done one step at a time.
“As for the second condition?” Yun Che held his breath and asked, if the first condition was already so scary, then the second one might be be even more terrifying.
“The second condition; you must, within thirty years, reach the Sovereign Profound Realm!” Jasmine said slowly and clearly, while looking at Yun Che’s expression.
“~!@#$%%…” Yun Che suddenly had the urge to pin little Jasmine on the floor and start spanking her!
He started to suspect that this little girl was actually just teasing him!!
“I’m not sure about the Profound Sky Continent… But looking at the history of the Blue Wind Empire, no one has ever attained the Sovereign Profound Realm within thirty years… Or to be more precise, no one has ever attained the Sovereign Profound Realm before.” Yun Che said as a matter of fact. However the corners of his lips twitched faintly, revealing the resentment in his heart.
“Then, will you agree or not?” Jasmine tilted her eyebrows.
“Agree, of course I agree!” Yun Che replied without hesitation, withdrawing the previous expressions he had on his face. Within his eyes laid a kind of tranquil and calmness that was its peak: “Your first condition, perhaps I still feel a bit apprehensive. However this condition, was not really counted as a condition to me. As for why I say that, no one in the history of Blue Wind Empire could attain Sovereign Profound Realm in thirty years. If I was given the same starting points as everyone else, I would overturn the history of the Bl
