To Walk The Mist Chapter 60

Ed picked up on this discussion and turned solemn . He was right . There must be more to the demon lands . The reason people come here . That cursed old pervert did not say anything about this .

As Ed walked through the town, he could see a lot of people gathered over this same topic . It was not as though he did not suspect that this was his fault, he just found it hard to believe . Sure, he used a heaven grade contemplation technique, sure, his absorption rate was higher than the average cultivator, but it had only taken him a few breaths of time . He did not believe that he could absorb an entire energy vein .

What was an energy vein? Many clans and sects treasured this . It could be absorbed by five hundred thousand disciples over a hundred years . This was possible for a medium size energy vein . If he was right, the vein in the great spill was an extra large vein, with different branches . That was the only reason why there would be different sections in the great spill and with each section, a different level of astral energy . The first section should be the main vein . This main vein should be as large as a large sized vein . Even though he was odd, he still had a level of modesty . At least enough to doubt that he was capable of drying this main vein . This was cla.s.sic denial .

Ed looked for a pill store . It was much more difficult to find than a weapons store . This made perfect sense . Weapons were many, but people only need one or two . They chose weapons according to their affinity or preference . Pills on the other hand, all cultivators needed it . Even though one had not reached a level of cultivation where he could use the skill, he just had to cultivate longer till he succeeds, then he uses it .

This meant that no one would willingly sell a pill . Even if it was possible, this was rare . Therefore, pill shops were bound to be hard to come by, unless there was an alchemist in the great spill .

Giving up on it, he looked for an inscription shop . He needed more protection pills than healing pills . If one was truthful, he had a lot of healing pills given to him by the old pervert in his spatial ring . Finding a pill store would have been good to find out the exact properties of the pills he had been given .

But on the other hand, this was also good . No matter the temptation to understand the quality of his pills, he was being closely watched . The last thing he needed was more attention . He was sure the old pervert's pills would be one of a kind . If he took out such pills, news of it would spread and even elders would come to find trouble with him .

An inscription store, though rarer than a weapon store, was still to find . He slowly walked into one . As he entered he took note of how many people watched him closely .

"What would you like?" an attendant asked . This attendant had recognized Ed as the new number three on the slate and rushed over . The top ten were like G.o.dly existences within the great spill . They were higher than he, an attendant could ever reach . It was good to be on their good sides .

"Body shield inscriptions . Also, . . . something for mental protection . " Ed answered .

"Give me a moment . " the attendant dashed away .

Ed noticed he was not the only in the store . Other cultivator were secretly watching him . He sighed . He was too noticeable these days . Being number three on the slate was enough noise, but the way he got to that number was even more dashing .

A familiar figure walked into the store a moment later . This was Ku Nam . He smiled at Ed and walked towards his direction .

"Congrats on making top ten . " he said .

"You too . " Ed returned . Even though he felt no ill will from this boy before him, he was still not the smiling type, so his response came out very cold . Ku Nam did not seem to mind this .

"Protection" Ku Nam commented on the inscriptions the attendant had brought to Ed, "You are preparing for your entrance into the astral roots?"

"Astral roots?" Ed asked .

"Let us find somewhere better to talk . " Ku Nam suggested and Ed nodded . Ed picked up on this discussion and turned solemn . He was right . There must be more to the demon lands .
