Mystic Core
Mystic Core
However, it seemed to be a natural way of life here. This was truly a great loss.
This is simply a waste of resources! If only I could… Eh?
This thought suddenly emerged from Jun Moxie's mind, startling him.
How could I have such a disgusting thought? I may sympathize my sister-in-law but I would never think of something like this unless…
You despicable Jun Moxie! Your soul had already left, and yet you still left this kind of residual effect! Jun Moxie cursed inwardly.
Jun Moxie walked into his room. Without acknowledging the young girl's greeting, he sat down with a frown on his face.
He started to reflect on every single action he had taken since the day he moved to this world, and something didn't feel right.
In his previous life, he had also shown a frivolous side of him, but it was meant as a method of getting close to the target or as a cover. No matter what, it was only an act.
Jun Moxie's true character had always been cold and arrogant, and could even be called ruthless.
At times, he could even be described as unfeeling. However, he came to realize that his personality had drastically changed ever since he transmigrated over.
Admittedly, Jun Moxie's original identity as a trouble-making debauchee was the best possible cover. However, he needed to have a good grasp on his own state of mind!
I cannot allow the original character of this body, of Jun Moxie, to prevail! Yet, I still need this character to act as cover!
Maintain my state of mind, complying with the outer layer, and yet deep down, I am still me… The Evil Monarch, Jun Moxie!
A burst of light shot forth from his eyes, heartless before Heaven and Earth, tens of thousands were mere fodder in his eyes! The true and ruthless Evil Monarch has stepped into this other world!
Having resolved himself, he felt his body relaxing and was instantly reminded of other things. He removed the small parcel from his bosom.
This parcel was obtained at the expense of twenty experts. Even though he did not know who the mastermind was, Jun Moxie was confident that no ordinary man would dare steal from the Tang Family. In addition, such a huge risk would not be taken unless the object was of considerable value!
Having such thoughts running through his mind, Jun Moxie could not help but feel highly curious. He had originally thought of returning it to the Tang Family however he was now overwhelmed by the desire to open it up.
Acting on his desires, this was the Evil Monarch's way! With a scoff, Jun Moxie tore open the parcel. Within it was a square wooden box; a box that emitted a faint scent, its top was covered with pale gold lines. This wooden box was surprisingly made of top quality Goldensilk Sandalwood!
In addition, the material for this box of Goldensilk Sandalwood was cut out from the tree as a whole! This box alone was worth a fortune!
Opening the box, he felt a cold air wafting outwards. Inside the box was another snow-white box. Touching it, he felt a chilling cold. This was a high-grade Cold Jade!
Judging by the color of the box, this Cold Jade was a mysteriously potent object!
Jun Moxie inhaled deeply! Just what exactly was it that was so important? They even used such a precious Cold Jade to keep it covered.
Carefully opening the jade box, he found a round object within the box. The object was wrapped within a layer of colorful skin fur, which possessed a strange sheen. Jun Moxie who had no knowledge of what this was did not react at all. However, if a professional were to lay eyes on this, they would likely become shocked. This was the pelt of a Ninth Mystic Beast! A Ninth Mystic Beast was an existence akin to that of a Spirit Mystic expert! Goldensilk Sandalwood box, high-grade Cold Jade and the pelt of a Level 9 Mystic Beast; any of them could be considered a priceless treasure!
These three priceless items were actually just part of the package!
Jun Moxie removed the object wrapped by the layer of pelt with his hand. It was a round object the size of a ping-pong ball. Looking at it, Jun Moxie could not help but feel somewhat disappointed.
The strange object was dark red and almost black in color. Its texture resembled that of a stone, yet was not stone, resembled jade, and yet not jade. He gave it a pinch and found it to be slightly elastic. The first impression of the item was but one word - mediocre!
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Jun Moxie's mind and he blurted out.
"Mystic Core!?"
Although Jun Moxie was unable to identify a Mystic Core, he knew that it was a precious item. Only a Third Mystic Beast or above could produce a Mystic Core. As for this Mystic Core, considering the strength of the Tang Family and how much importance they placed on protecting it and also the amount of attraction it had from others, going so far as to provoke a "tiger" in order to obtain it, this item was no ordinary material! It should at least be from a Seventh Mystic Beast! Or perhaps, even higher?
Jun Moxie was not aware just how much resources Tang Wanli had spent in order to obtain this Mystic Core. This Mystic Core came from a Ninth Mystic Golden Winged Tiger Mystic Beast had contained a huge amount of energy.
For low-levelled Mystic Qi experts, this Mystic Core was useless. However, once their cultivation was no longer of low level, then under the right conditions and using certain methods of stimulation, the vast energies within could be absorbed and claimed as one's own!
As for how much of the energies can be absorbed?
That will have to depend on the person's talent.
Once the Earth rank was reached, every step forward in Mystic Qi cultivation was cumulatively difficult. However, this Mystic Core could boost beginning Earth Mystic expert all the way up to the Heaven Mystic stage! Within the world of Mystic Qi, this item was a Heaven defying treasure!
The difficulties involved in killing even an Eighth levelled Mystic Beast was already extremely high. As for killing a Ninth levelled Mystic Beast in order to retrieve its Mystic Core? This was generally an impossibility! It was certain that a Spirit Mystic expert held a good chance of defeating a Ninth levelled Mystic Beast, but killing it? Even if two Spirit Mystic experts were to join hands, they may not be able to kill a Ninth levelled Mystic Beast! The strength and speed of a Ninth levelled Mystic Beast was already considered to be terrifying, but when it came to running away, there was no way to compare to it!
Not to mention, this was a Gold Winged Tiger, a Mystic Beast with the ability to fly! Stopping it was something one would never even consider.
Back then, Tang Wanli accidentally found a heavily injured Spirit Mystic expert. When he found out that the expert possessed this Mystic Core, Tang Wanli spent a fortune to hire tens of Jade, Earth and Sky ranked experts in order to snatch it. Several lives were lost before he successfully obtained it.
Regardless of how the Spirit Mystic expert had gotten the Mystic Core, claiming it to be the only one in existence may be an exaggeration. However, one can be certain, there will not be more than three in this world.
Naturally, the reason Li Youran urgently desired this Mystic Core was because he had a pressing need to use it!
His plan had already begun years ago from when he first received intelligence on this matter, involving the bribery of Tang Family's members, carefully arranging so that he could make his way in step by step, painstakingly keeping his eyes and ears out for any news until three months ago, when he finally found out the secret location of the item. However, Tang Wanli never left the house and was always protected by four experts, giving him not a single opportunity to strike.
This time, he finally chanced upon a rare occasion. Not only did Tang Wanli leave the house, he even took with him three of the four experts! In addition, there was also the heavy rain, which made the situation even more favourable! Grasping onto these favourable factors, he even sent a first-rate expert to lure away the expert from the Tang Family before secretly sending in another twenty experts. Collaborating with their insider, they had finally gotten it after sacrificing fourteen of the twenty experts!
Even then, it was considered a huge success. Sacrificing the lives of a few experts in return for the Mystic Core was undoubtedly an advantageous trade!
Unfortunately, just before successfully handing over the item, they ended up meeting Jun Moxie…
Several years' worth of meticulous planning, thousands of plans and ten thousand analyses, all of them ended with nothing to show for their efforts!It only ended up benefiting others!
It was like training a young girl to be your wife, only to have her snatched away on the day you got married!
One could only imagine how miserable this Li Youran currently was!
