Chapter 1641 (Raw 1623): Everything Ready

“Plop!”

When that drop of blood landed on the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation, the entire space filled with an intense scarlet light.

Excited roars came from the formation, howling strangely without end.

Before Xiao Chen could adjust to this environment, he saw a shadow come out of the scarlet light, open its mouth, and bite him.

Xiao Chen felt pain in the depths of his soul. He rubbed his temples as he took a big step back.

It felt like something had taken a bite out of his Soul Energy. When he looked at this Immemorial Demon Soul Formation, he could not help feeling startled and afraid.

What a sinister formation! Xiao Chen thought to himself.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this and used only one drop of blood. Otherwise, he could not be sure of the consequences.

“Whoosh!”

When all the red light withdrew into the formation, it was clear that the formation plate in the center now had two pearls lit up.

“Before lighting up any pearls, the Yazi Beast Demon Soul was already equal to an early-stage Major Primal Core cultivator. Now, it should equal a peak Major Primal Core cultivator.”

Xiao Chen thought for a while. Given this, he could guarantee that nothing would go wrong with the gray-clad old man from the Beast Governing Sect.

After all, that old man was a Rank 3 sect Elder, who had who knew what trump cards. It would be better to have some insurance.

When Xiao Chen came out of the compartment, he found Xiao Suo still on deck, not having left yet.

“Xiao Suo, after being busy for a month, why are you not going to rest?” Xiao Chen asked out of curiosity. For the past month, Xiao Suo had been working hard with his crew, day and night.

They had succeeded in upgrading the Black Cutlass to a 4-Star pirate ship within a short period.

Xiao Suo laughed, “Hehe! I’m not tired. I feel very excited, looking at these treasures on the ship. Furthermore, with my physique now, this fatigue is nothing.

“Captain, look. These are the modified 4-Star ballistae. Although Captain said that you do not need offensive power, Master Jin still took it into consideration. These are all the proper equipment for a 4-Star pirate ship. One shot can easily pierce through the Veritable Essence Energy shield of a Major Primal Core Venerate.

“Of course, that is if you use some special bolts. However, even with ordinary bolts, they are still quite mighty.”

Xiao Suo pointed to the ballista towers above the ship’s hold, introducing them.

At first, Xiao Chen did not care so much. However, after a while, he felt somewhat shocked.

There were sixteen ballista towers, each with four ballistae for 4-Star pirate ships, for a total of sixty-four.

If all sixty-four ballistae for 4-Star pirate ships fired in the same direction and caught an enemy off guard, the sky would be filled with lethal ballista bolts. That was an unimaginable scene.

Even Xiao Chen himself was daunted at the thought, not wanting to be on the receiving end.

Then, Xiao Suo dragged Xiao Chen to the railing, pointing to the sides of the Black Cutlass. “The sides are each fitted with sixteen cannons, all 4-Star Neptune’s Rage Demonic Energy Cannons.”

Xiao Chen knew about the Neptune’s Rage. That was a special Demonic Energy Cannon refined by the Pirate Alliance’s grandmaster refiners.

There was a total of nine grades, corresponding to the various Stars of pirate ships. Every grade was further split into mediocre, standard, and peak.

These were Demonic Energy Cannons that would inspire fear in anyone who heard them, truly living up to the name Neptune’s Rage.

It had to be said that the Pirate Alliance did indeed have many geniuses and eccentric people.

No wonder the Pirate Alliance could stand alone without anyone targeting it.

Just the weapons it exposed were already that incredible. How strong were the things it distributed to its own people?

It was truly unimaginable.

“Hehe! Captain, even a 4-Star captain would find it hard to purchase these items. Master Jin is really sincere and very honest. He does not like owing favors to others.”

When mentioning Master Jin, Xiao Suo was full of praise, unable to stop.

Xiao Chen also felt surprised. It looked like giving that bottle of Life Juice Source was the right choice.

“Master Jin also helped us strengthen the Dark Night Bewildering Formation. As for the defensive formation, he directly removed the old one and helped us lay a 4-Star one. Furthermore, he also helped us add a formation for explosively increasing our speed.”

When Xiao Chen heard this, he rejoiced. Master Jin truly understood him well.

“Right, after all that, how much is left of the Spirit Jades that I passed to you?”

Xiao Suo had gone to Xiao Chen several times to ask for Spirit Jades for modifying the pirate ship.

Since Xiao Chen found this problematic after a while, he just handed all the Spirit Jades from selling the natural treasures the Jiao Snake gave him, as well as his own personal wealth, to Xiao Suo.

Xiao Chen did not count the number, but the sum should at least be one or two million Medial Grade Spirit Jades, equivalent to two hundred million Inferior Grade Spirit Jades or so.

The Spirit Herbs that could catch the Jiao Snake’s eyes were at least three thousand years old. Hence, that batch of treasures was of extremely high value.

On hearing that question, Xiao Suo smiled and replied, “All gone.”

“What! All gone?!” Xiao Chen was stunned by the answer. Two hundred million Inferior Grade Spirit Jades, how could they all be gone?

After all, when Xiao Chen was at the Purple Sun City’s auction, just about a hundred thousand Medial Grade Spirit Jades was already sufficient to suppress everyone with his wealth, stifling everyone.

With that alone, it was clear that it was a vast amount of wealth. Now, he was broke again.

Xiao Suo smiled in embarrassment. “It’s really all gone. Originally, there were some left. However, the various formations of the pirate ship need Spirit Jades to operate. We also need plenty of backup Spirit Jades. Hence...they’re all gone.”

Seeing that Xiao Chen’s expression was still somewhat unsightly, Xiao Suo thought for a while, then asked, “Should I go to the formation nodes and dig out some? I should be able to.”

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and smiled. “Good idea. Go and dig, then. Dig them out, one by one.”

Upon seeing Xiao Chen smile, Xiao Suo laughed, “Captain, I was just joking. Don’t worry. It will not let Captain down.

“Right now, the Black Cutlass looks ordinary. However, once it bares its fangs, it is a peak 4-Star pirate ship. It will easily crush an ordinary 4-Star pirate ship. Even 5-Star pirate ships will have to think twice if they want to attack us.”

Xiao Chen was not truly angry. It was just that he liked the feeling of being imposingly wealthy.

Now that he was dead broke again, he was not used to it.

However, his mental state was very good. He quickly came to accept it and could treat the situation calmly.

Xiao Chen had risen and fallen in the Kunlun Realm many times, even had his cultivation regress a few times, losing everything. Even so, he still managed to make it here.

Even the worst-case scenario could not be that bad to him.

“Captain, when are we departing?” Xiao Suo asked somewhat eagerly.

Now that the pirate ship was armed to the teeth, his heart was restless.

“Wait for a while longer.”

Xiao Chen frowned a little on saying these words, revealing some worry.

The West Wind Tower’s Ding Yuan still had not sent word. This was not good news.

After seven days, just as Xiao Chen’s patience was wearing thin, Ding Yuan finally summoned him to the West Wind Tower.

“Brother Xiao Chen, sorry for making you wait for so long,” Ding Yuan said to Xiao Chen, his face filled with joy as he poured tea.

Xiao Chen’s heart immediately calmed down. “From Chief Manager Ding’s appearance, the matter must be settled.”

“Right. The blessed lands open up only once every three years and accept disciples all in one go. The previous opening was not too long ago. Originally, you would have to wait three years before being able to enter the blessed lands.”

Xiao Chen responded, “However, Chief Manager Ding has managed to find a way for me to enter after that.”

“That’s right. I pulled a lot of strings and helped you obtain a recommendation letter. With the recommendation letter, you can enter the blessed lands and freely choose a sect to join.

“Of course, you still need to be tested. However, with Little Brother Xiao Chen’s strength, the test should not be a problem.”

As Ding Yuan spoke, he proffered a recommendation letter.

Xiao Chen casually received it. This was just an ordinary recommendation letter. The contents were very ordinary, as well. However, the words put a lot of pressure on him, nearly toppling him.

Every word contained a pressure that bore down on the soul.

The strokes were full of force, radiating sharpness and a boundless aura.

It was almost more than Xiao Chen could endure. After one glance, he quickly closed the letter.

“This is personally written by a Cloud Sea powerhouse.” Xiao Chen looked at Ding Yuan, utterly shocked.

Yuan Ding nodded and said, “The Cloud Sea Realm is an untouchable realm. With one thought, they can injure another. With one word, they can suppress a Major Primal Core Venerate.”

As Xiao Chen held this heavy recommendation letter, he knew that this matter was settled. He performed a cupped-fist salute and said, “Many thanks, Chief Manager Ding.”

Ding Yuan smiled casually and said, “Don’t thank me. I’m just a businessman. Remember, you owe me a promise.”

For some reason, every time Xiao Chen heard Ding Yuan say this was a business, he felt it was strange.

Perhaps the other party was not as simple as Xiao Chen thought. At the very least, this recommendation letter was quite incredible.

“Remember to carve it in your heart and do not forget. We will meet again in the future!”
