Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear-Chapter 408 - 387: Despairing Resistance

Goodness!

It’s all good stuff here.

Many of these I’ve never heard of or seen before.

Like Yang Thunder, Yin Fire, Evil Wind, they actually have different grades.

So, what grade is the Yin Fire he has now?

Wait, now that he’s a Second-Grade Steward of the Hidden Origin Association, he should be able to sell related materials, right?

With that thought in mind, Wang Wu lightly tapped the jade talisman with his fingers. Indeed, it was possible to sell materials. So, he directly summoned the Pale Fire, which had increased significantly in quantity and was now about the size of a fist. Shaking the Hidden Origin Association Steward Jade Talisman, the identification information came out—it was much more useful than the Four Clowns.

"Half a cluster of Seventh-Grade Pale Fire. Based on your current authority, you can sell it to the Hidden Origin Association at the original price, and you will receive eighty thousand strands of the Five Qi of the Human World or eighty billion Fighting Spiritual Qi."

"Similarly, you can also choose to put it up for auction. This way, even a Ninth-Grade Steward or cultivators outside of the Hidden Origin Association can participate in the bidding. At most, you could get one hundred thousand strands of the Five Qi of the Human World or one hundred billion Fighting Spiritual Qi. This process requires a minimum of one month and a maximum of three months of waiting."

——

"Seventh-Grade, half a cluster?"

Wang Wu put away the cluster of Pale Fire; he definitely wouldn’t sell it—what a joke.

What he needs now is to enhance his own power and see if he can rely on the Hidden Origin Bell to scare off Gui Taizhen, thus preventing the Sub-Pavilion Master of the Hidden Origin Association from moving the Hidden Origin Bell away.

So, what kind of material should he buy?

"Sigh, I really hate to use up the Five Qi of the Human World!"

Wang Wu was hesitant. With these fifteen thousand points of the Five Qi of the Human World, he could vote against things even more confidently in the future. Once used up, well, forget it. The Five Qi of the Human World isn’t currently much use to him, although he now knows that the Five Qi of the Human World can even corrode a Celestial Eighth Grade Lifebound Flying Sword.

"Better to prioritize buying the Pale Fire."

Wang Wu made the decision because his current Yin Fire Resistance had already reached 9900 points, just one step away from completion.

Moreover, his lifespan still has 4216 years left, plenty of time.

So as long as his Yin Fire Resistance maxes out, he can significantly boost his Bloodline Evolution Level, which could greatly enhance his power again.

"Hmm, wait, can I buy half a cluster of Fifth-Grade Yin Fire?"

Wang Wu still felt it was important to keep a certain amount of the Five Qi of the Human World in hand, as it equates to equity.

He inquired using the jade talisman and found out it was possible, and you could even buy in small portions, that is, each time purchasing only one-tenth.

That sounds good.

Buy one-tenth first, what? Cao Nima!

"Since the Fifth-Grade Yin Fire you are purchasing is not a complete cluster, you need to pay an additional thirty thousand strands of the Five Qi of the Human World to purchase a Pale Gourd for storing this Fifth-Grade Yin Fire, otherwise unnecessary risks may arise!"

"But once purchased, future purchases of Yin Fire will not require this condition."

"Please proceed to the interior of the Hidden Origin Bell to receive the goods, to prevent the Yin Fire from causing harm to mortals."

——

Fuck me!

Wang Wu cursed, but he was helpless; indeed, when you buy more, they include the storage container as a gift, but if you buy less, you naturally have to do it this way.

To save big and to be safe, the Pale Gourd is quite nice, after all; it will surely be useful later on.

Wang Wu gritted his teeth and paid forty-five thousand strands of the Five Qi of the Human World to purchase one-tenth of the Fifth-Grade Yin Fire, plus a Pale Gourd.

Then he immediately teleported inside the Hidden Origin Bell. Even though he didn’t know the Spirit Net password or had access to the Spirit Net, it was meaningless because the Hidden Origin Bell’s authority was the highest.

In an instant, with a swirl of stars, Wang Wu found himself in a completely white place with no sky, no ground, no matter, only void.

This was the separate cave residence space the Hidden Origin Bell prepared for him.

There was already a plain, unremarkable small Black Gourd there, clearly indicating the goods had arrived.

It must be said that an Immortal Artifact is indeed impressive. This delivery speed deserves some praise.

However, this Pale Land is too unattractive. When Wang Wu checked the jade talisman, he found it was possible to deploy, decorate, and define various things.

But they all come at a price. For example, if you want to define an ocean or a piece of land, just pay a certain amount of the Five Qi of the Human World, and with enough of it, constructing a small world here is no problem.

And it’s guaranteed authentic.

Wang Wu didn’t need this for now. He quickly opened the Pale Gourd, and a wisp of Pale Fire floated out without warning, directly attaching to his arm, then spreading throughout his body.

Even though this was Fifth-Grade Yin Fire, it couldn’t immediately harm Wang Wu. After all, he already had 9900 points of resistance.

Wang Wu even anticipated the Fifth-Grade Yin Fire to be more powerful; otherwise, he would have wasted his money.

As he stared intensely, time passed second by second, minute by minute.

Three minutes, five minutes, when Wang Wu was about to despair, this wisp of Fifth-Grade Yin Fire finally burned through Wang Wu’s resistance by the eighth minute.

Let’s just say the suppression of grade cannot be underestimated.

Wang Wu was ready to face the storm. Come on, let this storm be fiercer!

But...

Cao Nima!

Is this slow burn just keeping me warm in bed?

Wang Wu was so anxious he was almost spinning in circles.

Because the damage caused by this wisp of Fifth-Grade Yin Fire was so minor that the whole process was under ten minutes, and the damage was over, he spent only one year of his lifespan to gain 10 points of Yin Fire Resistance.

"Damn! I’m so stupid! Really, I’m so stupid!"

"See, this is what happens to fools!"

"Why did I go for petty gains, why am I so foolish!"

"Ahhhh! I’m so angry!"

Wang Wu broke the barrier!

He really broke it, because one-tenth of a Fifth-Grade Yin Fire only accumulates 10 points of resistance for him, and 100 points of resistance precisely require one full cluster.

But now, because he tried to be clever, he foolishly lost thirty thousand strands of the Five Qi of the Human World, and he can’t even afford a full cluster of Fifth-Grade Yin Fire anymore.

Damn it.

Wang Wu is about to go crazy, what the hell has he done?

How could he have done something so stupid!

Calm down, calm down.

This isn’t a big mistake, he didn’t expect his current 9900 points of Yin Fire Resistance to be so impressive.

Nor did he expect that the seemingly high-end Fifth-Grade Yin Fire would be so weak...

And to think that the Vermilion Bird Immortal Monarch wanted to trade a cluster of Ninth-Grade Yin Fire and a cluster of Ninth-Grade Evil Wind for ten Bloodline Seeds?

Damn his ancestors for eight generations!

Because according to the current situation, not even ten clusters of Ninth-Grade Yin Fire could get him even one point of resistance.

So what now, what else can be done.

"I choose to sell!"

Wang Wu sighed, summoned his half-cluster of Sixth-Grade Pale Fire. The immediate priority is to max out Yin Fire Resistance, because once the Pale Fire Resistance is maxed, there’s an opportunity to capture them later, and he could even sell the captured Pale Fire to the Hidden Origin Association, which would be a highly profitable trade route.

A blessing in disguise!

In an instant, the sale was successful, Wang Wu immediately received eighty thousand strands of the Five Qi of the Human World. He didn’t choose the auction mode, which would take at least a month, by then even the ancestors of the yellow flowers would have cooled down.

He can’t wait for that.

This time, Wang Wu fully learned from his experience. Because increasing the resistance to Yin Fire would require more fire to break through the resistance, he feared the nightmare of gambling everything.

Indeed, it’s too disgusting!

Greetings from the Vice General of Jinling to you!

So, he chose to directly purchase a cluster of Fifth-Grade Yin Fire, this way he could freebies a Pale Gourd to console his ravaged, wounded heart.

In an instant, 150,000 strands of the Five Qi of the Human World vanished, leaving only 35,000 strands. At the same time, with a flash of divine light, there appeared before Wang Wu an identical Pale Gourd.

Wang Wu’s excited heart.

This time, without hesitation, he opened the lid, activated the Spirit Seal, releasing the entire cluster of Fifth-Grade Yin Fire. Come on, come on!

Swoosh, a large cluster of Pale Fire instantly enveloped Wang Wu’s body, Fifth-Grade, very terrifying, but at this moment, on him, it was like a cheap, three-cent special effect.

There was no feeling at all.

Wang Wu resignedly stood there, listless, apprehensive in his heart, he even had a bad premonition, please don’t let it happen!

Three minutes passed.

Five minutes passed!

Yay!

The 9910 points of Yin Fire Resistance finally got burned through, faster than he estimated.

Indeed, when the quantity increases, it also brings a qualitative breakthrough, ahh, my invincible, unbeatable army of Pale Fire is about to sweep across the land...

Longevity -1!

Ahhhh, look at this heroic stance, look at this domineering will!

Longevity -1!

Wang Wu’s eyes were lifeless.

He didn’t want to say anything.

He couldn’t even feel the pain anymore, that half-cluster of Fifth-Grade Yin Fire was like chicken stewing with mushrooms, it wasn’t stewing him, but he was stewing it!

Yes, Wang Wu needed to handle it with care, pray, and hope.

A heart on a rollercoaster ride, damn, how dare you call yourself one of the Three Calamities?

Try harder, what will it do if you stand up?

In just these short ten minutes, Wang Wu had only consumed 7 years of longevity, gained 70 points of resistance, but that cluster of Pale Fire had already shrunk by eighty percent.

It was obvious —

Poof!

It went out, it actually cowered, it actually surrendered, damn Cao Nima!

Wang Wu’s Yin Fire Resistance froze at 9990 points!

He even had a realization in his heart, the next resistance gain would be a complex, long, and difficult process!

Don’t be fooled by the fact that there’s only 10 points left.

It might really make him collapse, go bankrupt, and break down!

"Stay calm, take it easy, this is one of the Three Calamities after all, how could it be so easy to max out!"

Wang Wu could only comfort himself like this, but wait, perhaps there has indeed been a change.

Suddenly, a wisp of Red Flame Spiritual Qi appeared in his hand, and following the change of his thoughts, this wisp of Red Flame Spiritual Qi actually started to become somewhat pale, although it still couldn’t reach the minimum standard of Pale Fire, not even Ninth Grade, but this did indeed transform his Red Flame Spiritual Qi, right?

Wang Wu immediately took out a Jade Talisman for appraisal.

"Slightly transformed Red Flame Spiritual Qi, based on your current permissions, you can sell it to the Hidden Origin Association at the original price, you will receive 0.001 strands of the Five Qi of the Human World, or 100 Fighting Spiritual Qi."
