Chapter 132: King of Tidal Blades
This session of instruction lasted a full ten days.
Grando corrected all of Luo Fan's small flaws one by one.
At the same time, all of the questions Luo Fan had accumulated over time were completely answered.
Grando truly lived up to his status as a King-level Immortal.
His comprehension of the laws was immensely powerful.
Luo Fan's comprehension of the Origin Law of Water increased by 0.3%, and he directly grasped the fourth essence!
Meanwhile, his comprehension of the Origin Law of Space rose to 0.45%, and his understanding of the second essence reached 55.88%.
Alongside these improvements, the proficiency of the second form of his Tide God Blade increased by more than five thousand!
After training for a while longer, he should be able to reach the Perfection level.
"All right, that's it for this time."
"Go back and comprehend it properly."
"Don't spend too much time researching potions lately."
"Focus your energy on comprehending the laws!"
"If you have any questions, come find me anytime."
Upon hearing this, Luo Fan respectfully bowed before taking his leave.
After Luo Fan departed, Grando sent a message to an old friend.
Soon after, he received a reply.
Upon reading it, Grando's figure vanished from where he stood.
...
After exiting the virtual universe, Luo Fan immediately returned to the cultivation chamber.
This time, all three of his avatars came together.
Around them were several Water Source Crystals and Space Source Crystals.
Each time Luo Fan increased his comprehension of one essence of the Origin Law of Space by 1%, he would obtain a thousand Space Source Crystals.
These were the ones he had accumulated over this period.
Since the latest rewards included a large amount of comprehension in both the Origin Laws of Space and Water, Luo Fan decided to seize the opportunity and deepen his understanding further.
As his Domain of Water enveloped all the Water Source Crystals and Space Source Crystals.
In the next instant, an immense surge of special energy poured into Luo Fan's body.
At that moment, he immediately claimed the accumulated comprehension rewards.
A flood of insights filled his mind.
Within his consciousness, countless secret pattern diagrams automatically unfolded.
Luo Fan's comprehension of the laws began to rise steadily.
...
"Tidal Blade, it's been hundreds of eras since we last met, hasn't it?"
Grando arrived at a tavern and greeted a wolfman carrying a long blade on his back.
"You've got some nerve to say that!"
"Isn't it because you've been buried in your potion research all this time?"
"If you had kept fighting with us at the Star Tower, you might have already broken through to the peak of the King level!"
The wolfman's body bore distinct lupine traits.
His hair was much thicker than that of a human, his mouth lined with sharp fangs, and his hands tipped with clawed fingers.
The long blade on his back closely resembled the Tide God Blade that Luo Fan used.
This man was none other than Grando's life-and-death brother from the outer battlefield, King of Tidal Blades.
After ordering a drink, Grando sat down beside him.
"Sigh, I've been researching potions in my clan, but that's also made a decent contribution to the outer battlefield."
Upon hearing this, King of Tidal Blades recalled a recent venom that had become popular on the outer battlefield.
"Tch, that Wood Spirit Venom you invented has been all the rage on Flame Festival Continent lately."
"You must have made quite a fortune, huh?"
A hint of pride flashed across Grando's face.
"Heh heh, indeed, I've made quite a bit."
"And I even received a hefty contribution reward from the clan."
For inventing a potion that benefitted the war effort, humans usually granted the creator a generous contribution reward.
For instance, the creator of the Fermo Venom had received enormous recognition.
A trace of envy appeared in King of Tidal Blades' eyes.
"Ah, what a pity. I don't have any talent for potion-making."
"Since you've struck it rich recently, you're treating this time!"
Grando chuckled awkwardly.
"No problem... order whatever you want."
A cunning glint flickered in King of Tidal Blades' eyes.
"You said it yourself!"
"Winekeeper, bring out a bottle of Ninefold Primal Mixed-Origin Wine!"
(TL/N: It's also called Ninefold Primordial Wine. the Ninefold Primal Mixed-Origin Wine is how it written in RAW so i didn't change anything.)
The Winekeeper, who was sipping at the counter, looked up in surprise.
"Well, well, Tidal Blade, you've hit it big lately, huh?"
Saying that, he reached under the counter and pulled out a bottle.
The bottle was transparent, and the liquid inside shimmered like a river of stars, sparkling with countless motes of light, as though it truly contained an entire galaxy.
And indeed, it wasn't far from the truth.
This wine had been brewed from 10,081 star cores, each one taken from a giant planet.
A single such star core was worth over ten thousand Mixed Yuan units.
The wine was refined and extracted once every 10,081 eras, for a total of nine extractions, thus the name Ninefold Primal Mixed-Origin Wine.
It even contained a trace of the Winekeeper's own comprehension of the Origin Law of Time.
To know, the Winekeeper was an Invincible King-level existence; even a tiny bit of his law comprehension made this wine priceless.
In the real universe, a single bottle would cost tens of billions of Mixed Yuan units.
After all, the chance of failure in brewing it was extremely high.
Even the Winekeeper himself didn't have many bottles in stock.
That was why the price was so astronomical.
Even in the virtual universe, one bottle cost several tens of millions of Mixed Yuan units.
"I haven't gotten rich recently," King of Tidal Blades said with a grin.
"But… today we're drinking on your tab!"
As he spoke, he threw an arm around Grando's shoulders.
"Wood Spirit, you're not going to back out now, are you?"
Grando froze the moment he heard the name of the wine.
He was wealthy, sure... but spending tens of millions of Mixed Yuan units on a virtual bottle of wine still pained him deeply.
However, remembering his purpose in coming here, and that he'd already agreed aloud.
Grando could only grit his teeth.
"No… no backing out!"
"Let's drink till you drop!"
"Winekeeper, open the bottle!"
Hearing that, the Winekeeper unsealed the Ninefold Primal Mixed-Origin Wine without hesitation.
After all, it was simulated in the virtual universe, and he could earn a portion of the profit himself.
The other patrons in the tavern quickly gathered around.
After all, such wine was a rare sight.
"Wood Spirit King, give us a taste!"
"Yeah, yeah, share a little! We're all friends here!"
"Wood Spirit, we've known each other for over a hundred million eras, let us have a sip!"
Grando glared at them irritably.
"Get lost! Buy your own if you want to drink!"
"Blood Battle, you've got the nerve to talk about friendship after a hundred million eras? When are you going to repay the four billion Mixed Yuan units you owe me?"
King Blood Battle coughed awkwardly.
"Cough, cough... soon, soon! I'm currently exploring a secret realm. Once I make a profit, I'll pay you back!"
Grando snorted coldly, snatched the bottle from King of Tidal Blades, and poured himself a glass of Ninefold Primal Mixed-Origin Wine.
He brought the glass to his nose and took a deep breath.
"Mmm~"
"This aroma… truly worthy of the Winekeeper's craft."
Beside him, King of Tidal Blades had already started drinking impatiently.
"Ahhh, refreshing!"
At that moment, he felt as though his entire body was being cleansed by the Origin Law of Time.
Every cell in his being felt crystal clear and indescribably comfortable.
