Chapter 300: Chapter 178: Elemental Mural

Translator: 549690339

Under the guidance of the old housekeeper, the two of them entered the Elemental City and passed through several magnificent halls…

“Our young master is very kind and always willing to help others, but often this kindness is misunderstood by others…” The old housekeeper talked endlessly, performing the role of a supporting character to the fullest.

“This trivial matter, must also be because of… the two of you… the two of you?” The old housekeeper turned around, only to discover that behind him were those gorgeously dressed Elemental Soul Pet Masters, and the two he had been talking about had already disappeared into some hall within the Elemental City…

Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi had no time to play those boring games with the two arrogant young masters. Upon entering the Elemental City, they saw the liaisons of various forces and naturally went to ask them directly.

Elemental Gate’s influence is widespread, and their Elemental Cities can be seen everywhere. The wandering members of Elemental Gate would report to the Elemental City of the city they arrive, in order to maintain contact with others, leave letters, or receive some tasks, rewards, and trade offered to disciples by Elemental Gate…

Just like when Chu Mu was at the Nightmare Demon Palace, the items he obtained could be directly traded within the area under the Nightmare Demon Palace’s influence.

This kind of internal trading circle has its advantages if luck is on one’s side. Although most of them lose a bit compared to the market, it’s convenient and reliable. On one hand, it accumulates one’s popularity and prestige. On the other hand, according to the frequency of such transactions, it is a contribution to the power, gradually getting recognized by the higher-ups, and is very helpful for the improvement of one’s position.

Most Soul Pet Masters prefer to travel around, and when they represent a certain power in a strange city, they need reliable and time-saving transactions.

So, as long as they find someone in charge of managing the “floating population,” they can generally find their whereabouts.

Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi entered the Elemental City and walked past several front halls, noticing the Elemental Hall that gathered most of the traveling members. Then, they directly ignored the old housekeeper and approached the managers to inquire about the arrivals of Elemental Gate members from Li City.

“Well, there have indeed been two people from Li City not too long ago. They seemed to be escorting a prisoner, but their tone didn’t sound like they were heading back to Li City.” A thin black man in his thirties said.

“Oh, how long have they left, did they say where they were going?” Ye Qingzi asked.

When the liaison listlessly raised his head, he immediately brightened a few points when he saw a beautiful woman, and his words almost blurted out…

“This… If Miss can show a certain level of identity, I would dare to tell you their whereabouts.” The thin black man said.

Ye Qingzi frowned. If those two changed their course, her original plan to send a letter to Li City through the Elemental Gate would be useless.

Chu Mu had mentioned before that they should write a letter to save Ye Wansheng first, serving as a delaying tactic. Ordinary mailing methods would be very slow, and it’s uncertain whether Yu He from the Elemental City in Li City would receive it. Only through the Elemental Gate could it be delivered there. It seemed that plans couldn’t keep up with changes. Those two who were escorting Ye Wansheng unexpectedly weren’t going to Zhanli Realm-Li Domain-Li City, so Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi had to continue tracking them.

“Take this…” Ye Qingzi took out a bag of gold coins from her space ring and handed it to the black thin man without a sound.

“Miss, this can’t be done, our management is very strict, I think it’s better to forget it…” The thin black man nervously handed the money back, but when he noticed the heavy weight of the money, he hesitated a bit and added,

“By the way, Master Lu Tao and Master Hua Cheng asked about this not too long ago. They seemed to know where those two people went. I have my own duties and can’t disclose it casually. If you can find out from them…”

Ye Qingzi glanced at Chu Mu, who shook his head helplessly. They originally didn’t want to pay attention to those two fellows, but unexpectedly they still had to find them…

“In that case, thank you.” Ye Qingzi took the bag of money back into her space ring without a sound.

The thin black liaison stretched out his hand to take the money, but came up empty. He awkwardly brought his hand back and, staring at Ye Qingzi’s graceful back, showed a hint of greed and infatuation. It’s unclear whether he was fantasizing about the money that slipped through his fingers or the beautiful woman who left…

…

Various Elemental Soul Pets were displayed in the Elemental Gate’s grand hall. These soul pets were not the most mainstream of the Elemental Spirit Clans, but rather very rare elemental creatures with unique abilities. The different color patterns and energy patterns on the murals represented a specific type of elemental crystal…

Chu Mu’s eyes quickly glanced over and soon found several ice elemental crystals on the murals in the grand hall, although he did not fully understand these ice elemental crystals.

“Snow-white represents the most common ice crystals, which almost all ice-attribute soul pets can control. Cold bluish-white represents Xuan Crystal ice crystals, which are 50% to 100% stronger than ordinary ice crystals. Cold blue-white represents Ice Crystal, which is twice to four times stronger than ordinary ice crystals…” A somewhat old voice slowly spread.

Chu Mu merely stopped briefly in front of this mural, waiting for the old housekeeper to find him and Ye Qingzi. However, he didn’t notice an old man standing nearby.

“Old Master, what kind of color is that, which looks similar to the sparkling flow of diamonds?” Chu Mu pointed at the ice crystal pattern on the mural that gave off a sense of purity and nobility, and asked.

“That’s Ice Colored Glaze, one of the highest forms of Ice Element crystals. Most soul pets controlled by Soul Pet Masters now are in the common ice crystal stage; those who can use Xuan Crystal ice Crystal soul pets are barely considered to be in the current stage, those who can control the Ice Crystal level can be called experts. Of course, for the younger generation, if they can use a Xuan Crystal ice Crystal soul pet, they are considered experts. But as for a Soul Pet Master who can control Ice Crystal soul pets, well…” The old man chuckled and didn’t continue.

Ice Crystal! An even higher level of Ice Element crystal than Xuan Crystal ice Crystal. Chu Mu’s Ice-Feathered Spirit can control Xuan Crystal ice Crystal only by fusing with the Xuan Crystal Soul Orb. To reach the Ice Crystal stage, it is likely that they still need to undergo some struggle.

Princess Jinrou’s Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon can control Ice Crystals, but due to the Fox Demon being a Demon Spirit type soul pet, its power is not in the same category as an Elemental Soul Pet’s.

Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon has three attributes—Demon Spirit, Beast, and Ice. Even though it possesses a high Ice Element talent, its foundation in Ice Element control is still inferior to Elemental soul pets, and the power of Ice Attribute Skills it performs is greatly discounted compared to Elemental soul pets. 𝗳re𝗲𝚠e𝐛n𝗼v𝗲l.c𝐨𝐦

Just like the Ice Seal technique released by the Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon, which is affected by the Ice Crystal Fox Demon’s basic Ice Element control, technique level, and Ice Crystal bonus.

Ice Seal is a Level 6 skill, and the Curse Marked Fox Demon’s Ice Element control can bring its power to Level 7. Coupled with the Ice Crystal effect, it can push its Ice Seal strength to the pinnacle of Level 7, close to Level 8.

If an elemental soul pet of the same stage with the same talent released a Level 6 Ice Seal…

Firstly, that stage soul pet would have a racial advantage that allows the power of Ice Seal to reach Level 7; coupled with the basic Ice Element control of the soul pet, the power of the Ice Seal skill would have reached Level 8. The Ice Crystal effect would then double its power.

Different breeds have different strengths. For the same race, there are different talents; for the same talent, there are different skills and attribute inclinations; for the same power, there are different levels of crystals…

Every soul pet is unique, even for elemental soul pets with the least variety.

…

“I remember many years ago, a young man with an extraordinarily talented ice soul pet that controlled Ice Colored Glaze passed by here. His arrogant attitude was quite likeable… I suppose by now he has reached the peak. It’s a pity this old man is still stuck in this small place…” The Old Master sighed, shaking his head, talking to himself.

Chu Mu’s heart was shocked. The Ice Crystal realm is already the pinnacle for the younger generation’s Soul Pet Masters; only people like the Little Princess of Nightmare Demon Palace could reach it. Yet there was still someone who controlled an Ice Attribute Soul Pet with Ice Colored Glaze when they were young!

“Are you talking about Ice River Emperor – Qingshang?” Ye Qingzi asked.

“Him? He’s still far from the person I’m talking about.” The old man laughed, said nothing more, and with his back turned, walked towards another mural.

Ye Qingzi showed a hint of confusion. Ice River Emperor – Qingshang was a famous Ice Soul Pet master; it was said that he controlled an ice soul pet with Ice Colored Glaze in his youth. Such a widely-known expert did not even come close to the person the Old Master referred to. So, to what level had this mysterious person reached?

Chu Mu was also very curious and wanted to know who the mysterious youth was…

“There you are, I’ve been looking for you! Come with me quickly.” The old housekeeper finally found Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi, and hurried over with an anxious expression.

“Oh, we were looking at these Elemental Hall murals and didn’t notice we got separated.” Chu Mu quickly covered up their conversation.

“Hurry to the Element Plaza, perhaps the two young masters have already begun their battle with those troublemakers. You are fortunate to be able to witness their battles…” The old housekeeper immediately smiled and spoke.

“Then let’s go. We also want to see how experts fight.” Chu Mu smirked.

There is nothing wrong with being proud, but only because they haven’t stepped out of this narrow region. However, if their pride becomes arrogance and they try to show off useless tricks in front of real experts, they can’t blame those with ill-tempered experts for acting.
