Eternal Thief - Chapter 383

Chapter 383




Inside Feng’s cultivation chamber,

Ace swiftly appeared out of thin air in Feng’s disguise without showing any emotions and calmly sat down cross-legged while closing his eyes and began to recover.

After half an hour, Ace opened his eyes and smiled as he murmured, “So, he didn’t cause any commotion or sent anyone to investigate. I was right, he wanted to keep this under a tight wrap and Charlee was most likely dead since he was probably the first one to see Livy’s face and knew what happened.”

Ace had already thought of this scenario long ago, and that’s why he was prepared for it as well. However, it wasn’t the right time to start.

“Let’s see my gains!”

Ace’s eyes shimmered with excitement as he commanded, “System, give me the list of what I stole from the treasury and my rewards!”

=======

Ace felt like he was on cloud nine when he saw the huge list of stolen goods, especially the soul-type pills and materials, and six million in thief points.

‘This ocean demon tribe was really rich and if I were Livy I would’ve died from anger if someone stole this much wealth right under my nose.’ Ace grinned wildly.

However, his attention was drawn by something at this moment as he quickly asked, “Hey system, this time you didn’t count 5-Star treasures, does this mean five-star items no longer give me any EXP or SP as well?”

Ace had been long gotten adopted to this. Every time he made a breakthrough, the system would deem a treasure rank completely useless for him and didn’t even bother to count them.

System’s voice range in affirmation,

“[Yes. Five-Star treasures are no longer useful for the host.]”

Ace nodded without retorting. He knows it was common for pills to lose effects on higher-level cultivators. So, it was only natural it applied to him as well, even though he can’t use them as typical.

Suddenly, Ace’s eyes shimmered as he mused, ‘I should give all the soul pills and materials that are useless on to Noa for her practice in soul alchemy. It would be quite helpful for her cultivation and alchemy practice. I should also have her turn all those materials into pills since pills gave me more EXP than raw materials…’

“Let’s just hold on, on the reward, for now.” Ace said, “System, how much SP will I get after I convert every soul pill into my thief’s space?”

=====

[Starting the Calculation…]

-Six-Star Soul Pills: 32,900 X 5 (SP per Pill)

-Seven-Star Soul Pills: 25,000 X 10 (SP per Pill)

-Eight-Star Soul Pills: 21,043 X 25 (SP per Pill)

-Nine-Star Soul Pills: 9,420 X 50 (SP per Pill)

-Low-Grade-1 Soul Pills: 2,000 X 100 (SP per Pill)

-Intermediate-Grade-1 Soul Pills: 502 X 250 (SP per Pill)

-High-Grade-1 Soul Pills: 35 X 500 (SP per Pill)

[Final Amount: 1,754,575 Soul Points]

=====

Ace cocked an eyebrow when he saw such a large amount of SP for the first time since the start of his cultivation journey.

‘If I used one million SP and Ten Million TP to complete my side mission, I’ll still be left with over seven hundred thousand SP and over Thirteen Million TP… This Heavenly Fate Compass Needle is a treasure that was destroyed by the heaven, so it has to have many heaven-defying functions, especially that treasure finding function which was described in that note.’

Ace couldn’t help but seriously considered this because this treasure was just too much hazard for him and without the system, he won’t dare to use it.

Furthermore, the price of just subduing it was astronomical, and he wanted to make sure if it was all worth it.

Now he had only two options, used those soul points to maximize his cultivation or use them to complete his side mission.

Moreover, he still has an upcoming chain mission to worry about and if this treasure wasn’t helpful, then he would waste his only chance to become strong.

In the end, Ace wore a decisive expression as he said, “System, I want to complete my side mission of Heavenly Fate Compass Needle.”

Although Ace knows this was a gamble nonetheless, he still took it because Heavenly Fate Compass Needle was just too tempting for Ace to ignore!

At this moment, the system’s voice rang.

“[If the host wants to subdue the Heavenly Fate Live Compass’s Spirit, the system suggests finding a cloistered place because there is a chance heavenly punishment will descend. Furthermore, the host also had to choose between what kind of bond you want to form with Heavenly Fate Compass Needle.]”

Ace grimaced slightly at hearing this and questioned, “I can understand chances of heavenly punishment, but what is this Bond you’re talking about now?”

He knew this compass was destroyed by heaven, so if heaven sensed the spirit survived, the appearance of heavenly punishment was extremely normal. Especially for Ace, who has already undergone two punishments.

“[Whenever a treasure with a spirit born, or a spirit born within a treasure, these treasures can’t be used just by anyone, and they chose their worthy holders. Furthermore, a treasure-spirit of Heavenly Fate Live Compass’s caliber has even more harsh requirements for its owner.]

“[But since it was nearly destroyed the moment, it was born and the treasure spirit also nearly destroyed, the requirement for it had also lessened substantially. But still, even these requirements which were not even close to the millionth of the real one can’t be overestimated.]

“[However, the host is different, and with the help of the system, the host can easily become its owner.]

“[The host can form an ‘Equal Bond’ between partners or make it your Life Soul Treasure with a ‘Life Bond’. These two bonds are the only bonds a Treasure Spirit can form. However, Heavenly Fate Live Compass’s spirit is quite remarkable because it can also form a ‘Provenance Life Bond’!]”

Ace was dumbfoundedly listening to all this astonishing information and couldn’t help saying with slightly redden cheeks, “Umm… can you explain these bonds more clearly?”

Ace’s eyes shimmered with elation for some reason, and wait in anticipation for further explanation about these bonds!
