Chapter 2962: Another Offer

?

Rean nodded and gave a jade slip to Ariana. "The first half of the method to mold the fragment is written inside. Once we finish here, I'll write the other half in another jade slip."

Ariana quickly read the methods inside. She understood that was something for an experienced blacksmith to do, so she immediately passed the information to one of the blacksmiths of the Royal Family. A few minutes later, she received an answer, and the blacksmith even noted that he was truly impressed with the content. The method described in the jade slip was far more advanced than anything he had ever done, and yet, it was definitely possible to achieve by using the steps in there.

Ariana looked at Rean and Roan, not expecting the Royal Family Blacksmith to give such praise. He even insisted on seeing the other half soon since it was obviously incomplete. "Seems like you aren't just talk. As for this young appearance of yours, it isn't really the real you, is it?"

Neither Rean nor Roan answered that. "Is it important for our deal?"

Ariana quickly shook her head. "Forgive me. I, too, know very well that some things shouldn't be spoken out loud. I trust you have the other half, so just go ahead with your side of the deal."

Rean and Roan were satisfied with her words. "Then please give us a few hours. Please do not interrupt us during this time."

Right after, Rean and Roan sat side by side, with the Fragment in between them. Their Yin yang Starlight Body Cultivation Technique activated, and the Stellar Energy inside the Fragment began to rush out like a torrent.

Ariana looked at that with shock. That was a type of energy she had never seen before. Ariana tried to focus her Spiritual Sense on the Stellar Energy, feeling its properties. However, even though she now knew what the twins were after, she couldn't tell what that weird energy was good for.

*Clack, clack, clack...*

The sound of bones cracking echoed in the room as the twins' bodies began to change slowly. They had gone through this entire process before, just like their time with cultivation. Thanks to that, they were countless times faster. Well, that was basically because the Stellar Energy in the Fragment was extremely pure since it existed in the Foundation Fragment.

Before one hour was up, Rean and Roan took out the Mikrel Blood necessary to achieve the Second Grade Starlight Body. Together with the Stellar Energy, the blood sipped into all the pores of their body, giving them a reddish countenance. One might even think they weren't humans at this point.

There was no burst of energy like when you have a cultivation breakthrough. However, Ariana could tell. Rean and Roan had achieved a new level. Her Spiritual Sense could see the incredible changes happening inside the twins' bodies. 'I see! It's a body cultivation technique. But... what kind of cultivation technique is this? It seems extremely high level, not something even my Royal Family has.'

Rean and Roan didn't hear her thoughts, but they could imagine what she was thinking. Not that they cared, though. As soon as they reached the Second Grade, they resumed their absorption of Stellar Energy.

Back when the twins first cultivated with this technique, there was a limit to what they could achieve depending on their cultivation. At the Core and Soul Fusion Realm, the max they could do was reach the First Grade. If they wanted to acquire the Second Grade, they would need to wait to reach the Nascent Soul Realm first.

Now, however, this limitation wasn't so strong anymore. They knew what to do so their body could resist the stress of the Second Grade while still in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm.

'The burden was already quite high,' Rean spoke to Roan. 'I don't think our bodies will resist the Third Grade at our cultivation level.'

Roan agreed. If Rean couldn't do that with his Light Element, then it would be even harder for him. After all, Light Element was better at improving the body and making it more resistant. 'The same goes for me. We will need to reach the Soul Transformation Realm if we want to acquire the Third Grade.'

Early morning became late noon. Finally, the twins reached the limit of what their Body Cultivation Technique could absorb before they could enter the next level. The twins glanced at the Fragment on their side and couldn't help but sigh in response. There was so much Stellar Energy inside, and yet, they couldn't take it all. The Fragment still had 80% or so of its Stellar Energy reserves.

The good thing was that they wouldn't need more Stellar Energy for a while, so they could focus completely on cultivating Spiritual Energy. Once they reach the Soul Transformation Realm, they just need to refine the pearls into their bodies, and they will reach the Third Grade.

Roan didn't dwell on that issue for long, though. he got up and stretched his body, feeling all his raw physical power. They might not be able to fight Saint Realm experts with the Second Grade alone, but they definitely wouldn't be helpless in front of one. 'That's enough. We can come back later to get the rest.'

Rean got up as well. 'Indeed. If we finish the Void Shattering Pill, it will be easy to take the Fragment from her regardless of how she reshapes the Fragment. By the way...' Rean glanced at Arinana, who had her eyes completely focused on them. 'Her killing intent seems to have disappeared.'

Roan couldn't care less, though. 'So what? I don't care what you think, I will come back for the rest of the Starlight Energy.'

Rean would do the same, so he didn't mind. "Lady Ariana, we are finished here." Right after, he took out a Jade Slip and used his Spiritual Sense to write the rest of the method to mold the Fragment. "Here is the rest of the method. If you follow it step by step, you should just barely be able to use it on this Ore. As for what will be the result, that will be up to you and your blacksmiths."

Ariana shook her head. "Forget the blacksmiths. I know this is probably a secret, but I'm willing to pay a lot if you tell me more about this Body Cultivation Technique of yours. Is there a room for negotiation?"
