Is that a Wisp?

Chapter 655 Chaotic Pathway

They quickly arrived at their destination. From the looks of it, what they had here was a Mercenary Organization. However, this one was a lot more 'open' than the ones Krune had seen in the past. That's because they literally accepted everything—the only thing not included was requests related to the Celestial Organizations. Other than that, even assassinations were not a problem as long as the reward was good enough.

Krune's group didn't find it surprising, though. After all, this is a world without technology. Logically, their social organization was a lot lacking. They really operated on medieval methods.

Once inside, Krune and the others went to the counter straight away. Of course, they had to wait in the queue there before being attended.

"Hi there. Is there anything you would like to post?"

Krune shook his head.

"We are looking for a few good missions. Do you have a list of the available jobs or something like that?"

The attendant nodded before passing a jade slip to Krune. Sure enough, they still used this type of item instead of electronic memory devices.

"All the available jobs for Semi-Divinity Realm and below are inside. You can take a look and come back later once you have selected one."

Krune took the jade slip and then asked something else.

"Would you mind passing me the Divinity Realm level requests too?"

The attendant looked at Krune's group and then noticed Sisan's 9th Stage of the Semi-Divinity Realm. However, he couldn't see anyone at a higher level.

"You don't have any Divinity Realm in your group. Are you sure you want it?"

Krune nodded.

The guy behind the counter then shrugged his shoulders and passed another Jade Slip to Krune. He had no reason to deny their request to start with. The Mercenary Guild only receives and gives the jobs. As long as they received their payment, they didn't care about the level of those who take them. The guy only warned Krune's group out of courtesy.

Krune, Iem, and Sisan then left the queue and went to a corner where they could read the content of the missions available. They didn't waste time with the Semi-Divinity Realm missions and below, though. At their level, only Divinity Realm level jobs would catch their attention.

"Sure enough, there are quite a few jobs that offer Elemental Essences as payment."

"Indeed. However, there are a lot more items that I don't know about too. Elemental Essences are from the God Realm, which proves that the Demon Beast outside came from there. In that case, I wouldn't be surprised if these unknown rewards are also things from the God Realm."

Iem and Krune then began to show these items to Harold and Luvile. Even though they were gods from ancient times, they had been in the God Realm before. There was a chance that they could recognize a few of them. Of course, Sisan had no idea about what they were doing.

Suddenly, Harold noticed something.

"Oh! That's interesting."

Iem immediately paused after hearing that.

"Did you find something valuable?"

Harold didn't answer Iem, though.

"Luvile, look at the 1437th mission reward. There is an image there. Do you think it's that thing?"

Luvile heard that Divine Sense message and immediately looked at the reward Harold spoke about.

"Hm...? Indeed, it seems like it. However, it is using a different name now."

Harold nodded.

"That's to be expected. Just how long have we been gone? A few names changing isn't anything unexpected. I just wanted to confirm if I was correct."

Krune and Iem couldn't help but urge them.

"Just what are you talking about?"

Harold then explained.

"This... 'Bazuric Nectar' had another name in the past. However, it matters little now. What you need to know is that it can enhance one's bloodline to a new level. Even in the God Realm, it was quite rare. However, I don't know if it is still the case at the moment. After all, too much time has passed since Luvile and I 'perished.'"

"Anyway, it is an excellent item that I doubted for a second if I was seeing the right thing. Even top bloodlines like Dragons and Phoenixes can benefit greatly from this. That Demon Beast at the God Core Realm from your Sky Shifting Sect... errr... Tosely, right? Whatever. I believe it would be pleased if it could put its hands on this nectar. The best thing will be if Tosely waits until it reaches the Peak of the God Core Realm. If it takes this nectar at that moment, it would pretty much guarantee its breakthrough into the Nascent God Realm. Not to mention the permanent enhancement of bloodline that it will receive."

"However, it has to be concocted into a pill first using a special method. If it is consumed directly, it will lose all of its bloodline effects. Also, other items are necessary for the concoction as well. Still, the rest of the items aren't that rare. You probably can find it in the Godly Path Realm if you put enough effort into it."

Krune and Iem were surprised by what they heard. Sure enough, they found something even more valuable than the Elemental Essences in this place.

"Wait. If it is this good, how come some Divinity Realm mission is providing it as a reward? This is a huge waste. Could it be that the contractor is trying to fool us?"

Krune agreed with Iem. It was way too suspicious.

Harold and Luvile then pondered a bit about the situation. After all, they also thought that it shouldn't be on display this easily.

"Most likely, what they don't know about is that it can be concocted into a bloodline enhancement pill. After all, it would be too risky to put such a thing in the open like this. This item would definitely catch the Celestial Organizations' eyes if they knew what it does. I doubt that this contractor would do such a thing if he and the Celestial Organizations knew about it."

Krune then suggested.

"Well, let's look around the stores in the city. There is bound to be someone who knows something about this Bazuric Nectar, right? We can find what they use it for."

Iem nodded.

"Indeed. However, what about the mission itself?"

Krune then looked at it to see the contents of the job.

"Hum? It's a search mission. The contractor wants an item called Chaotic Demon Flower. Now look at that, would you believe it? This flower has the power to further purify a demon beast's bloodline. That's really an irony. I wonder what this demon beast who posted the mission would do if it knew what the Bazuric Nectar could really do. From the looks of it, this flower can only be found in a place called Chaotic Pathway. Hum... it doesn't say where we can find it inside that place, though."

Krune and Iem looked at each other. Although the reward was excellent, the mission's content gave them no guarantee since they didn't know where to find that flower. In the end, they might waste their time there. Not to mention the dangers of the task itself. After all, this was a mission that was supposed to be accepted by Divinity Realm Cultivators and Demon Beasts.

"Anyway, let's ask around about this Bazuric Nectar first."

Iem nodded, and they immediately left the Mercenary Guild while dragging the puzzled Sisan. Obviously, Sisan had no idea about Luvile and Harold's existence, so he didn't hear their Divine Sense conversation.

Sure enough, Bazuric Nectar was a rare item well worth a Divinity Realm's help. However, they used it for something completely different than bloodline enhancement pills. Instead, it was really consumed directly. The power in the nectar was sought out by those who wanted to make breakthroughs. Seeing that, Harold understood what was happening here.

"What a waste, truly a waste of such a wonderful resource. They are using it for Divinity Realm cultivation. Although most of the nectar's power is lost when consumed like this, it still has enough to help during a stage breakthrough. They probably think that this is the best use of this item. It also explains why the Celestial Organizations don't care too much about it."

Krune shook his head, though.

"Maybe that's not the case. Don't forget that as big as this planet might be, it is only a planet. They most likely don't have the rest of the items necessary to create the bloodline enhancement pill. Since they are not available, no one found the real use for the nectar. In the end, they could only use it this way."

Harold had to admit that Krune was right.

"Anyway, we now know that it is a safe item and probably not a trap. However, we need to find more about this Chaotic Pathway before we decide to go in."

Iem shrugged his shoulders.

"This is easy to find about. Let's go to the Watchers Guild and get the information. I doubt they don't know what to expect in that place."

Once again, Iem and Krune left while dragging poor and puzzled Sisan. Well, at least they explained to him that they wanted that Bazuric Nectar and that it was extremely valuable.

Around an hour later, Krune's group arrived in front of the Watchers Guild building. Without wasting time, they quickly entered inside. There, they could see several small passages that seemed to connect to private rooms. That made sense, though. After all, information was what the Watchers Guild lived from. The fewer people who knew, the higher the price.

Soon, an agent from the guild stepped inside their room.

"Hello. May I ask what kind of information these sirs require?"

Krune nodded.

"We want all the information available about the Chaotic Pathway."
