Chapter 575 - It Can't Be Helped

A few days later, Roan came by the workshop and got his new White Star from Rean. Rean, of course, destroyed Roan's previous White Star since it could gather Element on its own. As mentioned before, this was something Rean came up with. The other blacksmiths could copy Rean in this regard. In a planet like Culo, such a weapon would cause too much of a stir.

After doing that, Rean had Roan help him with his own Black Star Sword. After all, Rean needed Dark Element for that. Just the Dark Element exchange between him and Roan wouldn't be enough, nor as pure as Roan's direct exchange.

"Phew... I finally finished everything. Well, then. It's time to make a few more Earth Peak-Level Equipment to get some Spirit Stones. These ones are going to be much easier to make, though."

Agis couldn't help but ask.

"Why is that? Aren't they the same?"

Rean shook his head as he said.

"No. They won't have the Elemental Gathering ability that our weapons do. We might have a few big shots come after us if such a weapon appears in this world. I'd rather be safe than sorry."

Roan agreed with Rean.

"That's good. If you consider this world's level, your Earth Peak-Level weapons will already catch a lot of attention even without the Elemental Gathering ability. Earth Peak-Level pieces of equipment were already rare back in Sunkan Planet, let alone here. Don't put so many to sell at once. Just three or so will be enough."

Rean nodded.

"Alright."

Roan then changed the topic.

"I'm planning to go to one of the Rank Four Bloodline Trials of the Zasfin Race."

Rean and the others were taken aback.

"What will you do there?"

Roan then explained his plans and the reason to do so.This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

"Soul Power, huh? Now that you've said that, I found out that they also use it in their Equipment Formation Inscriptions and Runes."

Qia knew where Rean was coming from.

"Are you talking about that weird energy in the runes that we couldn't identify?"

Both Qia and Rean already took a good look at the robe that could gather Yin Energy. As mentioned before, the world's environment made it possible to get Yin Energy from almost everywhere. Such a thing wasn't possible in Sunkan since there were very few places with as much Yin Energy as this planet. However, that wasn't the only reason why the runes and inscriptions on the robe could gather Yin Energy. There was some kind of energy different from anything Qia and Rean saw so far as Formation Masters.

"Exactly. I compared it with Frandin's Soul Power, so I'm pretty sure that's the reason why the Robe worked so well. As you know, the level of the Formation Masters on this planet isn't as good as Sunkan. At the very least, that's what we could tell after analyzing the formations we saw until now. However, those formations could still make up for the lower quality of runes and less Spiritual Energy with the Soul Power alone."

Qia agreed with Rean.

"That's true. It seems like Soul Power can be used in almost anything."

Agis pondered for a bit before saying.

"In that case, it should be possible to use it on my talismans. I haven't gone out to check this world's talismans yet. However, from what you're telling me, chances are that they are also made in the same way."

"Yes, yes... So be it."

Roan then turned around and prepared to leave.

"What will you do now that you finished the pills?"

Roan stopped for a moment.

"I'll go out in the city with Agis to gather more information. You still have to make those weapons for sale, after all. Our cultivation only works if we cultivate together. Otherwise, it's too slow. That being said, I better use my time on something else."

Rean nodded, not minding it at all.

"By the way, I'm planning to make a few armors for us. I still have the lightweight ores available for us."

"Wouldn't it hinder our movements? We are a lot more on the speedy side of combat rather than brute strength."

Rean shook his head as he said.

"I'm not making amour plates. Instead, I will make very thin chainmail. Qia has Earth Element Affinity, a very high one at that. With her help, I can forge quite a few good pieces to use under our clothes. There will be almost no difference. Besides, you never know when it might save your life."

Qia was happy to hear that from Rean.

Roan nodded in the end. As long as it didn't impact their speed, that would be a good thing.

Just as Roan was about to leave, Calina asked for his attention.

"Wait, Roan. Can I go out with you? I already finished my cultivation for the day, so I want to take a look in the city."

Roan pondered for a bit about his Spiritual Sense bending ability. He wasn't as good as Rean with it. Still, he was confident that he could keep Spiritual Senses away from his and Calina's Dantians. Of course, that was as long as the Spiritual Sense user's cultivation wasn't too high and they weren't too close to them.

"Fine. The more you and everyone know about this world, the better. Take the fake Binding Collars and come with me. Frandin is in the other room, waiting."

Calina and the others were surprised by that. They didn't think Roan would accept it. Of course, Calina was delighted that Roan did. Soon after, Roan, Calina, and Frandin left the building.

Qia couldn't help but feel a little jealous. She also wanted to go out with Rean.

"Sigh... a single Frandin isn't enough at all."

Agis, who didn't care about Qia's feelings for Rean, still agreed with her on that.

"That's true. Shouldn't we capture someone else to pretend to be our owner, just like Frandin?"

Rean had to admit that they were right.

"I was thinking about that as well. Our movement is too limited with a single Zasfin. I can cover all of us with my Spiritual Sense bending, so having two Zasfins to walk around with would be good since Roan can do that as well. Alright, perhaps we can kidnap someone else before leaving Kastran City."

It was then that Rean felt something was off with his words.

"Err... Do you guys feel like criminals? Or is it only me?"

Somehow, Agis and Qia felt that too.

"It can't be helped... I guess?"
