Is that a Wisp?

Chapter 351 Bones

Once the Shell Repairing Pill reached the limit of its use, Krune started to stabilize his cultivation. After all, he had made a breakthrough, which made things even more chaotic. He pondered for a moment if he should use a Cultivation Stabilizing Pill but decided to not do so for the moment.

Krune then took his time to recover his Tribulation Lightning power. He also tried to call out Light Spirit, but it seemed like he really went into sleeping mode.

While Krune was recovering, he asked Feifei something else.

"So, Light Spirit gave you the Heavenly Fragment. Did you feel anything different when that happened?"

Feifei nodded.

"I checked it as soon as he gave it to me. No wonder the sacred lands want it so much. I can feel that My Divine Soul has gotten a lot stronger. And this is just a single fragment. Just how powerful would it be to have a Heavenly Divine Soul? I can only imagine. But that isn't all. I can also feel that my Spiritual and Elemental Energy Control improved, not to mention that the World of Laws looks clearer as well. Simply put, this thing gives you an overall upgrade!"

Krune was surprised that it could increase one's strength by that much.

"That is great!"

But it was then that Krune noticed one thing and felt shooked!

"What?! How come you are in the 7th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm?"

Feifei looked at Krune, puzzled.

"7th Stage? What are you talki-"

Suddenly, Feifei jumped in fright!

"I'm really in the 7th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm!"

Joiu and Ricarte were taken aback by those words. They used their Divine Senses to check Feifei, and sure enough, Feifei had jumped from the 5th to the 7th Stage out of nowhere! But the weird thing is that it looked like even Feifei didn't notice it until now.

"How come I broke through two stages without even noticing? There was no torrent of Spiritual Energy, nor did my cultivation went chaotic after the breakthrough either!"

That was also why no one noticed it. Usually, when someone breaks through, it would be followed by a great burst of Spiritual Energy. Anyone around the same realm as the person or beast who broke through would immediately notice that. But there was no such thing in Feifei's case at all!

"It must be the Heavenly Fragment."

Krune, Ricarte, and the others nodded. There wasn't another explanation. The fusion of the two Heavenly Fragments had increased Feifei's cultivation without any side effects.

Feifei then focused on her Divine Soul and paid attention to the Elemental Source Energy.

"This... It seems like it's not over yet."

Everyone looked at Feifei jealously. Isn't this kind of breakthrough too heaven-defying?

Krune then thought about something.

"How is your foundation? Such fast breakthroughs would usually destabilize it."

Feifei nodded and immediately checked her foundation, as well.

"Nothing... I can't feel any difference what so ever. My foundation is as sturdy as it could be."

Krune let out a sigh of relief.

"That's good then."

He then looked at Ricarte and Reiny.

"By the way, what were you doing behind the door at that moment?"

Ricarte shrugged his shoulder and answered truthfully.

"What else? We were waiting for an opportunity to attack. We, too, wanted to get that Key of yours."

Krune couldn't help but feel impressed by how Ricarte blurted it out without trying to find any excuses.

"Well... I guess I can't blame you since those are the rules of the No Laws Zone."

Another 30 or so minutes passed. It was then that they heard Feifei's voice once more.

"I entered the 8th Stage now. Still, I can feel that the speed in which my cultivation increases slowed down a lot after this last breakthrough. I doubt I will make it into the 9th Stage."

Of course, no one would ever complain about something like that. After all, Feifei jumped three Stages in just a few hours without the need to care about her foundation. Usually, only a Blackhole Major Core or Divine Soul wouldn't need to care about their foundations. One must remember that Blockhole Major Cores and Divine Souls don't have a foundation to start with.

"Alright, we have rested enough. We should keep going."

Ricarte and the others nodded. Their group now had seven members, so there would probably have no other team that could pose a threat to them.

"Darten, I still can see a few cracks in your Wisp Core. Are you okay to go?"

Krune nodded.

"Yes. My Purple Flame Shell Repairing Pills are not enough to mend the biggest cracks, so I will need to leave them be for the moment. Once I get out, I will try to concoct a better pill."

"Also, my name is Krune, not Darten. Now that you found out about Feifei's true name, there isn't really a point in hiding mine either."

Joiu, Ricarte, and Reiny weren't surprised by that. Using fake names is something very common in the No Law Zones.

"Anyway, we can talk more on the way. If we wait too long, the rest of the resources will be taken away by the other teams. If they haven't already, that is."

Everyone agreed with him, and they quickly departed.

On the way to the Castle Core, Ricarte suddenly said.

"Ah! I remember now. The Purple Flame Pills that have been appearing recently. They are the talk of the Alchemist Organization everywhere."

Ricarte then looked at Krune and asked.

"Are you perhaps the so-called Jolk? The new Alchemist Genius who invented the Purple Flame Pills?"

Krune felt a little embarrassed to be called like that but decided to agree in the end.

"Well... you could say so."

Ricarte felt ecstatic when he heard that.

"Great! I've been trying to get your pills for quite some time now. But the Alchemist management of the Dalin Universe always buys almost all of them. In the end, just a few reach the market. Would you mind selling me a few ones of them later?"

Krune didn't really have a reason to refuse, so he agreed.

"Sure, but why do you need them? From what I can imagine, your Background definitely isn't simple. You probably can get stronger pills in the Diamond Stars level that can do the same or even better than my ones."

Ricarte didn't deny that.

"That's true. My family has three Divinity Realm cultivators, after all. If I really wanted, I could get a Diamond Stars pill or even higher grade ones like Divine Stars level. Of course, that would be only in the case that I really need them. I'm also not asking it so that I can save money. The reason I want them is for my sister."

Krune and the others looked at him, puzzled.

"For your sister? From what you are telling me, it doesn't seem like she needs them for their use. Could it be that she is also an alchemist?"

Ricarte laughed and then nodded.

"Exactly. Her name is Racia Fonklue, and she is an alchemist fanatic as well. That's why I recognized your Purple Flame Pills. My sister had been going crazy over these pills of yours for a while now. Still, they are just way too scarce that even when she asked one of the Ancestors, she couldn't get one. After all, my family is far from being the only power with Divinity Realm baking us."

Krune understood the situation and then threw a bottle at Ricarte.

"There are two Shell Repairing, three Stabilizing, and four Body Resurgence Healing Pills inside. Just give it to her."

Krune didn't care much about those pills. After all, he had a lot of them and could make even more anytime he wished.

"This... How much you want for them?"

Krune refused the payment.

"Even though it is forced, the fact is that your group is helping us with protection. Just consider it as a form of payment."

Ricarte felt delighted.

"Well, I will not refuse it then."

Reiny and his two other companions then looked at Ricarte. Their facial expressions showed exactly what they meant.

'We want some too!'

Ricarte, of course, noticed that.

"Hmph! If you want yours, go ask it yourselves."

Feifei and Joiu looked at that and couldn't help but laugh a little.

Sometime later, Krune and his group arrived in the same room where the battle happened. The bodies of the Skeleton Dragon and the rest were still there.

Krune then approached Uer's Skeleton Dragon body and looked at those bones.

'I wonder what grade those bones are. Uer had been the gem of one of the Sacred Lands, so there is no doubt that they didn't hold back to increase his power.'

Krune then took them all and put inside his Spatial Ring. He would check later if those bones could be used as material for crafting. Using Demon Beasts parts to craft equipment is quite a common thing, after all.

Their group then looked at the Main Door that connected at the Core of the Castle and noticed that it was already open.

Ricarte then shrugged his shoulder and said.

"Well, that was to be expected. We have been out for a few hours already. I wouldn't be impressed even if the fight for the treasures was over and the teams left."

For some reason, Krune felt like Ricarte didn't look much concerned about this issue. As if the treasures and resources meant little for him.

"Anyway, let's enter and take a look."
