Sky Fall Legend 88 The Heavenly Star's Apprentice 2

"It...it's fine aunt. I trust him...I'm. I...I am K..Kai..rie," said the dark elf girl Kairie, doing her best to avoid Jodye's gaze.

"K-Kai..rie," repeated Jodye precisely, making little Kairie even more embarra.s.sed. Jodye kept his laughter, and said, "Right, I'll just call you Kai from now on. Deal?"

"Mn."

Jodye grabbed Kai's little hand and held it as he walked over to the white elf male sweating under threat of Dessa's blade. Jodye sneered at this white elf spy, "So...will you tell me what I need to know? Or should I just take it myself?"

Inside his office on the lower floor, Ca.s.san put down his serene sound mirror, satisfied with that little Jupiter's response. When asked if he needed a.s.sistance, Jupiter confidently declined the offer. This was how it should be. Ca.s.san was currently lecturing Aiken on some cultivation principles, and couldn't be bothered to deal with the trouble outside. However, if Jodye, who was the first to have responded to the issue, couldn't handle it alone then Ca.s.san would be forced to make a move. Otherwise, his master Sigma Octanis would surely skin him alive. In reality, Sigma considers that Jupiter brat as far more important than Aiken Moon.

Suddenly there was an explosion from outside. Ca.s.san frowned and was about to investigate, but when he remembered Jodye's confidence, he wavered. He first called a guard to explain what was happening outside.

What the guard told him left Ca.s.san and Aiken reeling in shock.

Jodye entered the office and grabbed some magic water to drink before he walked over and made a report, "Mr. Ca.s.san, we have finis.h.i.+ng patrolling all floors of the Middle and Inner District's Shooting Star Heavenly House. I'll be leaving now."

Ca.s.san smiled and nodded at Jodye, and continued his lecture.

Black Heart City of the Star Reaching Region was famed for its gambling houses. This large city covered several kilometers and was separated into four districts. Each district had its own gambling houses, but there was one gambling house that was famous in each area.

Shooting Star Heavenly House!

This business was started by none other than Sigma Octanis.

Each district had a larger location than the previous, the most luxurious being located in the golden district. You had to be a mage to even go to the golden district, let alone the Shooting Star Heavenly House in that location. Jodye had yet to visit the golden district because even Uncle Sigma could only enter the first area, he couldn't pull any strings for Jodye.

Following that, Jodye went back to Sigma's third base via the dimensional portal Ca.s.san kept on himself. These two were from an upper star realm, unlike Jodye himself. They had access to technology that couldn't be imagined on this planet. To the denizens of Black Heart City, Sigma Octanis was a mysterious and innovative phenomenon. However, in reality, he just grew up in a good family and had significant wealth from a much more powerful star area.

The Bronze and Silver Star Realms just couldn't compare to the Golden Star Realm. Furthermore, Sigma had informed Jodye that Gaea was technically from a different star area but had drifted to the outskirts of the Bronze Star Realm. Apparently, this had something to do with the curse that was placed on this planet.

Sigma Octanis was seated in the caverns next to a large white crystal. He beckoned Jodye over once he sensed his presence, "This is an advanced-level magic life qi crystal. None of these magic or force crystals have a rank lower than the advanced level. You can use them to gain insights, but you won't be capable of refining this energy until your progress surpa.s.ses the primary level.

"To make magic elixirs or hex potions, you need to have the proper foundation in magic or voodoo respectively. What primary force do you specialize in?"

"Chaos," said Jodye Trill calmly.

However, Sigma Octanis was dumbstruck, "Did… did you just say?! Y..y..y.y.you..you! The chaos? Are you serious? How do you know?"

"My mother told me so, and then the fates did as well. Actually, I don't know how to use chaos force, only magic or voodoo. What's wrong?" asked Jodye puzzled by Sigma's reaction.

"Kid, chaos force is like the key to a brighter future! With chaos qi, you can perfectly fuse the magical powers of life and death to create three times the effect! It is the harmony of yin and yang. Chaos breeds cosmic and cosmic breeds earth. Spells or curses backed by chaos qi are the most powerful version of creation casting," Sigma's eyes were flas.h.i.+ng with bright golden lights as he explained.

"So then, I can only use chaos qi by fusing magic and voodoo?" a lightbulb suddenly turned on in Jodye's head. 'So that's what it was…'

In fact, this was similar to how t.i.tan's unlock cosmic qi.

"Not exactly. Understanding a chaotic concept will be what allows you to fuse the powers of life and death. However, your understanding of the two must still reach a certain level before the fusion can be perfect. Only the predestined can comprehend chaos force," Uncle Sigma was convinced that this boy was his lucky star.

"I see…" Jodye Trill pondered deeply for a few moments before speaking again, "Uncle Sigma, have you been able to find any of the medicine on that list?"

"A few of them… but as for the majority, I doubt we'll find them on this continent," responded Sigma.

"A few is enough!" said Jodye excited.

"A few it is then," Uncle Sigma removed a spatial ring from his own, "Here."

Jodye instantly performed a blood owners.h.i.+p claim on the ring, and when he looked inside, he was pleasantly surprised. "This is!"

Forlorn Guide Gra.s.s!

Eclipsed Star Weed!

Mushroom Rockets!

Plus there were around seven other herbs that he couldn't name, but the properties of these plants matched his requirements.

"Hahaha, so what do you say, huh? Did your teacher do good or not?" Sigma Octanis laughed in satisfaction when he saw Jodye's reaction. The boy was absolutely ecstatic.

"This is awesome, Unk!" Jodye Trill finally had what he needed to attack the next level of the Wimpy Man realm! His t.i.tanic Rage path would finally take another step forward. The door to the future was finally pushed open a little further.

"Good kid, enjoy. Now let's start today's alchemy project!"

Like this, Sigma Octanis instructed Jodye on how to use his alchemy techniques. Although Heaven Howling Sect's alchemy techniques couldn't compare to the ancient methods of Jupiter t.i.tan, they were still renowned and unique amongst the golden realm's five supreme galaxies. Among their methods, Sigma's Eighteen Star Reaching Palm was ranked #12 in the entire Golden Star Realm!

This was very impressive indeed.

Through Sigma, Jodye also became aware of how warriors of different paths were cla.s.sified together. Warriors at the first realm of a path, such as the Scholar Sage Realm, were known as foundation cla.s.s warriors. Those at the second cultivation realm of a cultivation path were known as rookies. At the third cultivation realm, they were known as experts, and at the fourth realm, they would be called elites. From elites they became champions, then conquerors, and after conquerors they became kings. The king level was not the end of the path, but everything else was far from Jodye's reach.

This overturned Jodye's previous understanding of what an expert was. If this were the way things were viewed in the upper realms, Jodye would, of course, stick to this cla.s.sification. On Gaea, Experts were those at the second cultivation realm. Obviously, they were missing part of their heritage. Jodye felt his time in the lower realms was destined to be limited.

A few hours later Sigma was still talking, "Let's not forget the Alpha Merit Pill. This pill can allow body transformation path martial artists to temper their blood with divine energy. This can potentially awaken the bloodline limit earlier! Alpha Merit pills are famed for helping warriors training their bodies, such as saints, break through bottlenecks and ascend in their realms!"

"Hey, Unk?" Jodye suddenly spoke out and interrupted Sigma. "What exactly is a bloodline limit?"

"Hm? Well, that's a martial lesson but… ah, what the h.e.l.l. A bloodline limit is a set of abilities and skills unique to an individual because of their bloodline. The hero race is not unique in this ability, as the blood of most creatures can a.s.similate the dormant laws within our souls to nourish our bloodlines." Sigma explained in further detail, "Once our physical strength and realms reach a certain height, these laws manifest as new abilities. The bloodline limit of sages especially is far more dangerous than others."

Unknowingly, Sigma lectured Jodye and Dessa for five hours before he stopped. The light of intelligence danced in Jodye's eyes as Sigma explained the philosophies and methods behind medicine refinement. Jodye already knew most of this information. However, he still enjoyed reconfirming things. After all, these memories weren't his own. After Sigma asked Jodye if he had any questions or thoughts that confused him, he was swarmed with dozens of items and had to answer them for the next two hours. Sigma responded to each question patiently, with more pa.s.sion in each following answer than in the last. During breaks, Jodye would make Dessa review the previous information.

Alchemists could only get excited when communicating with fellow alchemists. Dessa was bored to tears, but she was also learning a lot of information. Jodye's questions answered many things she wasn't bold enough to inquire about, which allowed her to slowly understand many things.

The time seemed to fly away, and it was already late at night.

In his private room in the third secret base, Jodye Trill organized the information he learned today into his mental filing cabinet. Then, he activated [Pharaoh's Law] as he took out his brand new Silver Skies Heaven Cauldron. Jodye picked out this alchemical cauldron in Sigma's shop in the outer district. This was a C-grade alchemical cauldron! Jodye was attempting to refine some pills using the Eighteen Star Reaching Palm technique.

After organizing all the ingredients required for a D-grade Alpha Merit Pill, Jodye's hands moved in the air according to Sigma's technique, as he used his divine sense to manipulate the ingredients into floating in front of him. After processing the components, Jodye used a sacred flame crystal to heat the cauldron. He excelled in the method rather quickly, yet he failed to perform the so-called 'Perfected Palm, collapsing stars.' After practicing deep into the night, Jodye finally decided to call it a day. He had refined

From what Uncle Sigma had told Jodye, it took him 20 years to master this technique! Jodye never felt he could learn it in only a night, but he had tried anyway. Based on his progress, this was definitely impossible. He was only able to produce several D-grade pills with this technique. This left Jodye utterly disappointed in himself. It seemed he was foolish to believe he would automatically perform at an expert level. He had to train his body to match his mind.

However, if Sigma was to see how much progress this brat has made in merely one night, he might just pa.s.s out.

Following a light meal that Dessa prepared for him, Jodye cultivated in the main cavern next to a large white crystal full of white sparkling swirls.

B-Grade magic life crystal!

This was an advanced level magic life qi crystal.

Although Jodye couldn't really absorb advanced level Qi, he was able to seek enlightenment. He wanted his perfected nascent level magic qi to evolve into level primary magic qi! His Advent of Creation force concept was the only one that had yet to reach the primary level. This was mainly due to Jodye's comprehension of dragon force being too lacking. His Advent of Creation Concept was primarily based on his Dragon qi.

For an entire month, Jodye would spend his days training Dessa Chimes as he slowly corroded the cursed fate seal in her origin pool with astral essence. His astral essence was still very imperfect, making this a complicated process. After that, the two youths would work as security for Sigma's various businesses, and then train in alchemy in the afternoon, and then cultivating at night. Fusing his true essence power and his astral power seemed to be improving his pure essence qi significantly. During this time Jodye had finally refined ten full batches of Alpha Merit Pills! Each batch had three D-Grade Pills, but this was far below Jodye's standard. Jodye also received Sigma's help in refining a batch of C-Grade Wimpy Man pills. However, Jodye felt he needed pills of at least B-Grade quality, or he was wasting his potential.

In the last month that Jodye had spent with Dessa, not only did Jodye almost entirely remove her cursed fate seal, he even taught her a few of the basic level spells he learned from Sigma and his mother. Jodye was prepared to heavily invest in Dessa's future, as she would be spending this future with himself until his death. Who could go against the will of the heavens?

A month later, Dessa was finally freed from her oppressing seal, but Sigma Octanis interrupted Jodye's nightly meditation with big news.

"Hey kid, weren't you looking for an auction? Well, I've got some news about a big one."
