I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

Chapter 1895 - 1888: I Want to Build a City

Banak was very interested in matters concerning the Sunset Sect. He asked a lot about the Sunset Sect and also understood the real reason why Zhang Menglong and the others came here.

"I never expected you all to have such a severe conflict with the Divine Profound Hall after just a few years in the Sunset Sect."

"There’s no choice. The Divine Profound Hall is corrupt from top to bottom. We just wanted some justice, but we aren’t their match. If I hadn’t been lucky, I’d be dead by now." Speaking of this, Zhang Menglong was still fuming with anger.

"But you all are really too reckless," Banak couldn’t help but say, "With your talent, it’s only a matter of time before you reach the peak of divine cultivation in the Sunset Sect. Why come here then?"

"A gentleman waits ten years for revenge," Zhang Menglong said, "but I’m not a gentleman, and I can’t wait ten years!"

"Young people really are..." Banak was speechless for a moment, but in his heart, he thought that even if Zhang Menglong waited a hundred thousand years, there would be no chance for revenge.

Suddenly, Banak’s body trembled sharply, and his breathing became heavy. A violent aura was unmistakably revealed, and his eyes began to fill with dense bloodshot lines.

Banak hurriedly pulled out something that looked like a syringe from his body and injected a milky white translucent liquid into himself.

As the liquid entered his body, the red blood vessels in his eyes gradually faded, and his breathing gradually calmed down.

"Sorry about that," Banak seemed to have become accustomed to the situation, "My body has devoured too many soul shards, and it flares up about every three days. I rely on this potion to stabilize my condition."

Zhang Menglong really wanted to help him, but his elixir could only serve to protect the soul, which means it only worked for those who had never been eroded by soul shards.

His elixir was for protection, not for treatment, so it had no effect on Banak.

Of course, his elixir recipes included one that could treat this situation, called the Soul Dividing Pill, designed to separate soul shards. But he was missing a crucial ingredient from the original world, and without it, Zhang Menglong had no solution.

"Can I see this potion?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"You understand these things?" Banak casually tossed the empty potion bottle to Zhang Menglong, which still had some residual liquid.

"I’ll study the components," Zhang Menglong promptly pulled out equipment to start analyzing.

A few minutes later, he suddenly smiled, "That’s right, this component is it. The antidote is next to the poison, the medicinal material to treat the soul is in the Endless Land, this theory really holds true."

"Mr. Banak, do you know what the raw materials for this substance are?"

"I’m not very sure about the specifics, but I know the most important component, something called a pineal crystal polycyclic, which is an artificial component derived from a plant called Spectral Grass.

"Ten to one, the missing ingredient is this," Zhang Menglong said. Once he found this Soul Resurrection Grass, he could refine the Soul Dividing Pill.

"Mr. Banak, do you know where this Spectral Grass can be found?"

"I don’t know about that," Banak said, "but I’ve heard that this plant can only be found in areas guarded by Phantom Profound Beasts of at least divine cultivation fifth grade, and even if found, the extraction process for that element is very complex."

"I know about this," Duoji suddenly interjected, "I once found a plant while hunting Phantom Profound Beasts, and just one plant can be exchanged for 100 vials of soul shard suppressor. Each vial can sell for 10 Level Seven Crystal Cores!"

"Crystal Cores? Is that the currency here?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"Sort of," Banak explained, "However, in this place, there aren’t many pleasures to enjoy, so the significance of currency is not great, but the Crystal Core is the most widely circulated thing."

"What exactly is it? It sounds like a type of mineral?"

"Crystal Cores aren’t minerals," Banak said, "They are condensed energy aggregates formed from the energy of Phantom Profound Beasts after their death, basically turning gaseous energy into a solid form, making it easy to carry and move."

"So that’s how it works?"

"Many have already absorbed a lot of Phantom Profound Beast energy. The more they consume, the more mottled soul shards build up. Some are at their limits, and further consumption would drive them completely insane."

"Like those Fallen Ones?"

"Yes, so we invented something to store this energy. After all, some don’t have the ability for outdoor activities, and their soul tolerance hasn’t reached its limit. For them, this is the best thing."

"Wow, these Crystal Cores are like experience pills!" Zhang Menglong instantly gave these Crystal Cores a definition in his heart, "These things are much more convenient than us constantly battling monsters and bosses."

"These Crystal Cores have become the currency substitute in the Endless Land," Banak said, "All transactions almost use Crystal Cores. The Level Nine Crystal Cores Duoji just mentioned are the entire energy of Phantom Profound Beasts of divine cultivation ninth grade and above after their death."

"I get it now."

"But honestly, these Crystal Cores aren’t that valuable. An ordinary peak divine cultivation martial artist wouldn’t find it too difficult to hunt ordinary ninth-grade Phantom Profound Beasts. Most people can hunt Phantom Profound Beasts two life levels lower than themselves."

"Brothers, understood?" Zhang Menglong looked at the people behind him.

"Got it," everyone nodded in agreement.

Originally, their plan was to come here to hunt monsters and bosses and capture Phantom Profound Beasts, but now with these Crystal Core experience pills, they could slightly adjust their approach.

"Then for our team-building activity this time, we will shift from hunting to business!"

"Exactly, haha! Making money is definitely more interesting than fighting monsters."

"Think bigger!" Zhang Menglong said, "Let’s figure out how to gather all the Crystal Cores in the Endless Land. Then, when we return, we can sell them. They might not be worth much here, but outside, I’m sure people will be eager to snatch them up."

"Clan Leader, these Crystal Cores are already a currency, so how do we acquire them?"

"By exchanging them for valuable items, of course," Zhang Menglong said. "The people in the Endless Land crave two things most: one is to return to the original world, which is a later topic, we’ll discuss it later. The second thing is..."

"The soul shard suppressor!"

"Great, quick answers!" Zhang Menglong laughed, "I have a pill recipe here, called the Soul Dividing Pill, which can cleanse the mottled impurities from the consumer’s soul. We’re just missing the last ingredient, the Spectral Grass!"

"But to make money, relying solely on our strength is still a bit weak." Zhang Menglong looked at Banak, who was already astounded.

"Mr. Banak, have you ever thought about developing our survival team into a mature city?"

"Brother Gu Xiao, what do you mean by this?"

"I want to build a city!"
