Death… And Me

Chapter 1068 - Bored

Chapter 1068 - Bored

Even though Rean said such a thing, it wasn't as if he would get any new equipment today. During this time, all he did was test the uses of Earth's Remnants and see if his conjecture was true. He used a little bit of World Essence, but it didn't account for even 5% of everything the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm had produced so far.

Several hours later, Rean finally came out of the workshop with a grin on his face. Following that, he called one of the workers there, asking him, "Hey, friend. Would you mind calling Senior Aien to my room? I'll be waiting for him there."

The worker quickly nodded in response as he was tasked to take care of Rean's needs while he was in the workshop. After that, Rean left and went back to the room where Roan was cultivating.

Seeing that Rean came back, Roan went straight to the main topic. "So, how is it? Can you use that thing to improve your crafts in the future?"

Rean laughed in response, saying, "I can. Not only that, the Earth's Remnants is truly wonderful when matched with World Essence. I didn't have time to test it further or make any equipment. However, I'm pretty sure that it can be used on almost any type of equipment."

Rean was just about to continue when he heard a knock on the door. Naturally, it was Aien that came to see Rean and Roan after being told by the worker of the workshop. "Raphali said you wanted to talk with me?"

Rean nodded and began to pat Aien's shoulder, telling him, "Senior, this Earth's Remnants of yours is really good. I want to make a deal with you. From now on, don't destroy it. Instead, sell it to me. I'll buy everything."

Aien couldn't help but be surprised to hear that. "This...did you really find any use for it?"

Rean confirmed his suspicions, replying, "Indeed, I did. However, you told me it took more than a month to gather just 3 kilograms of it, right? Was everyone cultivating during that time?"

Aien was still surprised by Rean's confidence, but he still nodded. "Err...yes, everyone cultivates here. However, it's very rare for anyone to find their path in a place such as this. That said, I'm the only Soul Transformation Realm cultivator at the moment."

Rean didn't care too much about that. The path was something someone had to find by themselves. It couldn't be taught whatsoever. "I see...how about this? I'll pay ten Rank One Divine Stones for each kilogram of Earth's Remnants. Would you make sure to save them for me from now on?"

Aien's eyes immediately lit up after that. "Are you serious?"

"100% serious. Also, don't think that I'm doing it because I pity you or anything like that. This Earth's Remnants is truly an amazing item that's above any Golden-level material for equipment forging," Rean replied.

Aien found it strange, though. "That doesn't make sense. Be it my ancestors or even I, we brought the Earth's Remnants to the closest city to be checked. However, the blacksmiths there said it had no use. We even tried to pay to see if they could find any good use for it, but nothing came up whatsoever."

Rean shook his head in response. "That's because no one other than me knows what it can be used for. Of course, it can be used to make equipment. However, the way to use it is what matters. So, I understand why they said it had no use as I'm the only one who can work with it." Rean said all of that for two reasons. The first reason was for Aien to not think about destroying it anymore. As for the second reason, it's so that he wouldn't try to sell it to others as it really didn't have use to anyone other than Rean. Of course, unless someone found out how he forged his equipment.

As one could expect, Aien immediately accepted the offer. "Then, it's a deal. In fact, I brought you only three kilograms because I didn't think you would really find any use to it. If I go around the village's houses asking for it, I think I can gather another 10 kilograms or so thrown in the corners."

Rean was more than happy to hear that. After all, he found those three kilograms he had at the moment hard to work with. In fact, he had already used more than half of it during his tests in the workshop. "Great! It seems I'll have to rely on senior Aien to collect them for me. The price is the same, ten Divine Stones for each kilogram."

"Leave it to me." Without wasting time, Aien immediately departed to look for more Earth's Remnants.

Roan couldn't help but ask after Aien left, "Isn't that price too high? If you had offered a single Divine Stone for ten kilograms of this thing, I think you would still make him agree."

Rean shook his head as he explained, "I must make them understand that I will be back for more. If I offer so little, they might think it isn't even worth the trouble. Besides, I truly think I'm paying very little already. Once I finish making the new White and Dark Stars, you'll understand that it was an excellent business."

Hearing that, Roan took out his Silver Middle-level White Star from the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and looked at it for a moment before looking back at Rean. "Since you plan to make a new White and Dark Star, I want you to make a different weapon for me. I'm too bored of swords already."

Rean was surprised to hear that. "Really? Oh well, you did say you're a master of all weapons. However, will it match my Dark Star? I only know how to use swords. Would it be a burden if we need to fight together?"

Roan shook his head in response. "Don't worry. I can match you with any weapon."

"If you say so..." Rean shrugged his shoulders. Roan was responsible for all battle-related measures, after all. "So, what weapon do you want?"

Roan pondered over it for a bit before saying, "Make me a scythe."
