"What?! The Elental Path Stones are made with Spirit Stones and Elental Flowers?"
Feifei couldn't help but comnt.
"We got loads of those flowers, perhaps we can make a lot of those Elental Path Stones!"
Krune pondered a bit and then took out his box with the Elental Stone.
"First, let try out this thing. It is said that it can improve the ridians, let's see if it has any use with the Myriad Energies Technique. We need those flowers to help in our Law Comprehension, after all."
Feifei nodded and waited to see what Krune was going to do.
Krune then held the Elental Path Stone in his hands and summoned his Elental ridians outside. As soon as he did that, his ridians imdiately attacked that stone. They then started to absorb its properties until finally, that stone turned into dust just like any other Spiritual Stone.
"How was it? Did it make any difference?"
Krune started to cultivate for a few minutes and then stopped.
"Just as I thought, it has the sa ability as those Demon Beasts' Energies. The only difference is that this Elental Path Stone can be used by normal ridians as well."
Feifei then asked.
"Does it an that normal ridians can also convert Spiritual Energy into Elental Source Energy instantly if they use the Elental Path Stone?"
Krune imdiately shook his head.
"I doubt so. Its effect is probably different on ordinary ridians. If I were to guess, it allows your ridians to absorb more Spiritual Energy instead. In a certain way, it can expend your normal ridians... I guess."
"Still, the effect is very small. Unless you have a huge amount of those stones, you won't feel too much of a difference. But as you can see, the Elental Path Stone is very expensive. Not to ntion that the material to create it, the Elental Flowers, can't be gathered anyti one wants it. No wonder the price to buy a single one is so high."
Krune continued.
"Of course, it is still worth the price. Even if the difference is minimal, any extra bit of speed can make a massive difference in the long run."
Feifei nodded and then asked.
"But how much of a difference did it do to your Elental ridians?"
Krune shrugged his shoulders.
"The sa as absorbing one body of Divine Soul Realm Demon Beasts from the Elental Path."
Feifei imdiately felt disappointed.
"That is far from being worth the cost."
It was then that she rembered sothing.
"Oh, wait! First of all, how many Elental Flowers are necessary to create an Elental Path Stone?"
Krune looked at the information available and finally found it.
"Sigh... At least 10 of them. Also, it needs at least 10 Rank 10 Spirit Stones and so other material."
Feifei imdiately gave up the idea.
"Forget it, it's too expensive and uses too many flowers. Even after finishing the stone, the effect it can bring is the sa as the Demon Beasts in the Elental Path. I would rather use my flowers to comprehend my laws."
Krune nodded.
"Not to ntion that once e reach the Void Breaking Realm, any advantages that we had before will practically disappear."
Suddenly, Krune received another ssage from Amark.
"Hum...?"
Krune went through the information, and his eyes lit up!
"Hey, it seems like there is another way to gather Elental Path Stones."
Feifei, Ruik, and Tiane imdiately looked at Krune.
"Amark is saying that the creation of the Elental Path Stone was based on the real thing. That ans that they are created ones and natural ones. From what he is telling here, Elental Path Stones are ford every ti the Elental Path Dinsional Realm opens."
Feifei couldn't help but ask.
"But how co the Divine Path itself doesn't have any of those stones, then?"
Krune kept reading the information it and soon found the answer.
"It says here that the Laws of the Elental Path and the Laws of the outside world are a little different. It is only when the Elental Path Realm opens that they start to interact. The result is that the six planets that have one entrance each will then begin to give birth to Elental Path Stones for the next two to three years. Only after this ti passes, will the effect left behind by the Elental Path Realm disappear."
Everyone's eyes imdiately lit up!
"So, what are we even waiting for? We should go back there straight away. Who knows, we might even find Stones from the other tis when the Elental Path opened!"
Krune shook his head.
"That will not happen."
Feifei, Tiane, and Ruik looked at Krune, puzzled.
"Did you not notice the box that my Elental Path Stone was sent into?"
Only now did Ruik and the others pay attention to that box.
"This..."
Krune nodded.
"It has the sa effect as the pill bottles that we alchemists use. It prevents the energy inside from escaping. That ans that any stone from 100 years ago that appeared has definitely lost its power already."
Feifei then said.
"Anyway, we should still go there to look for the ones that will appear now."
Krune nodded and then started to look into the information.
"Alright, there are two problems. First, the Elental Sect and the other Five powers are in control of their own planets. They are all very big Sect and Clans that have protected those entrances for a very long ti. So I doubt that they will simply let people and beasts go around collecting their Elental Path Stones. If you rember correctly, anywhere we went after the Elental Path closed was heavily guarded, and the check was rigorous."
Feifei imdiately nodded.
"Indeed. I thought that to be an exaggeration, but now I understand why that happened. The Elental Sect was keeping tags on the entire planet because of that."
Krune nodded.
"As for the second problem, it is because there is no way to know where an Elental Path Stone will appear. So the Elental Sect uses tens of thousands of low realm disciples to sweep the planet. Still, it is not guaranteed that those stones will appear on the surface, so they need to continually check the surroundings."
"The worst part is that it is very hard to notice with Divine Sense alone. Unless you are very close, let's say, a hundred ters or less, you probably won't notice their presence. So using a high realm cultivator or demon beast to scan the whole planet is useless as well. And that is considering that the stone is on the surface. Underground ones are even harder."
Ruik couldn't help but comnt.
"This searching problem is also another reason for this thing to be this expensive."
Krune nodded and then smiled.
"But we have an advantage, our Elental ridians and those stones are deeply related. Maybe, we can use it so find Elental Path Stones that are too far underground for those disciples to notice. Of course, we will need to test it first."
Krune couldn't help but sigh after saying that.
"If just Amark had sent this second ssage earlier, I would have used that Elental Path Stone to see if we can locate them with the Elental ridians."
Tiane then comnted.
"So our main problem is to get permission to look for Elental Path Stones, am I right?"
Krune nodded.
"Exactly. But I do have an idea. I think I can use my own pills in exchange for the right to look for the Elental Path Stones. As you know, my pills are sothing that, although it isn't as expensive as the Elental Path Stone, they are even harder to get."
Ruik couldn't help but comnt.
"In that case, wouldn't it be better to simply exchange the pills for the stones?"
Krune looked at Ruik and shook his head.
"Didn't you hear what I said? My pills are not as expensive as the Elental Path Stones, just rarer. Also, we would need a gigantic amount of Elental Path Stones to achieve a real difference in our Elental Source Energy conversion. I would have to spend years concocting nonstop to reach an amount good enough to be worth it. Just how many Divine Soul Realm Demon Beasts you think we defeated there? Haha!"
Krune looked at everyone and said.
"What I'm betting in is the fact that the Elental Sect also doesn't expect to find many Elental Stones either. So they might think that it is worth it. Besides, it is not guaranteed that we can find a lot of them to start with. Using our Elental ridians to find those stones is just an idea. In the end, they might really be the ones who profited in this trade."
Feifei couldn't help but sigh.
"In the end, we can only rely on your pills to get our free pass. If this idea works, I will make sure to get as many Elental Path Stone as possible to repay for your pills."
Tiane and Ruik looked at each other and nodded, they too didn't want to have Krune doing everything. As long as they find more Elental Path Stone, they can have Krune stay with the biggest part.
Krune just smiled and nodded.
Feifei then asked Krune.
"What about your cultivation?"
Krune shook his head.
"Don't worry, I will not slack while I'm there, and you won't do it either. We have the Mind Splitting Technique, rember? We can leave part of our mind focusing on cultivation and Laws while we use the rest to look for the stones. Since we don't need to be ready for a fight all the ti, it won't be a problem to do it. Once I reach the point where I need to enter the Divine Soul Realm, I will return to the Wisp World for a quick breakthrough and go back straight away after that."
Feifei then thought about sothing else.
"Let's ask Cinty to see if she has an Elental Path Stone. That way, we can check if we can detect it before going there."
Krune nodded and then called her with his communicator.
"What? Elental Path Stones? Hahahaha! Why would we have sothing like that? Before you brought the Myriad Wisps Technique, we wisps had never had ridians to start with. So what good would it do to buy those things?"
Krune and Feifei felt a little embarrassed. That was quite an obvious problem, but it didn't pass through their heads since they had been using their Elental ridians for a long ti.
"Errr... Sorry to bother you, then. See you later."
Krune finished the call and sighed.
"I do have enough Alchemists points to trade for another Elental Path Stone. The problem is that it will need to be bought in the Riria Solar System. I could apply to transfer my alchemist points sowhere else, but it would definitely take so ti too. And once again, I need to go back to Riria to do that."
Tiane then just shrugged her shoulders and gave another idea.
"Forget it, let's just go the Eletal Sect planet and check it there. If it doesn't work, we can just leave. It is one thing to try to detect the Stones, but another to collect them. We don't need to pay anything at first since we will not really take them."
Feifei, Krune, and Ruik imdiately agreed with her.
Krune then sent a ssage to Dilo through his communicator telling where he could find them once he was back.
With that, their plan was laid down, and they imdiately left the Wisp World.
