Chapter 1065 - Chapter 1065 Chapter 1067 Stone of Sharpness_1

Chapter 1065: Chapter 1067: Stone of Sharpness_1 Chapter 1065: Chapter 1067: Stone of Sharpness_1 “Hey, someone actually arrived earlier than us!” Kansa glanced at Song Jian and his group, a smile appearing on his face as he called out loudly.

“What’s the use of arriving early? Without soul energy, it’s still impossible to enter. Alright, I won’t talk with you any longer, I’m going in first!” After saying that, a brawny man with a heavy hammer in hand yanked open his soul bag, and thirty soul light spheres floated out, merging into the red light column. His figure, like that of Tugu Man, turned into a beam of white light and entered the red column.

The newcomers took out their soul light spheres one after another, a vast expanse of white drifting towards the red light column. Most of them turned into white light and flew into the pillar of red light.

“How do they have so much soul energy?” Stan Lee rubbed his eyes, somewhat disbelieving what he was seeing.

“Could it be that these people were already prepared?” Duo Tuo Luo’s face was ominously dark, for it was known that the Slaughter Light Curtain appeared unpredictably, and unless someone could find and determine that monsters in the Scorching Gorge had broken through to King Level, it was virtually impossible to prepare so much soul energy in advance.

“What do we do? Are we really going to die trapped here?” A second-tier peak adventurer showed a look of desperation on his face.

“What is there to fear? There’s still plenty of time, and even if we start hunting monsters now, we’ll make it, hmph!” said another adventurer, arms folded and his face ashen, snorting coldly.

“Three months, we have only three months. Within three months, we must gather enough soul energy to enter the Slaughter Tower and have a chance to leave this place. Otherwise, we’ll be waiting for our sentience to be erased, becoming walking corpses, the lowest level of undead in the Scorching Gorge,” another adventurer snorted coldly.

Just then, a gaunt old man slowly walked over from the opposite crowd, smiling at Song Jian and the others, “Gentlemen, does anyone need soul energy? A soul light sphere is only a hundred thousand Doomsday Coins, a fair price for fine quality, no deception to old or young, limited quantity, purchase quickly if interested!”

Duo Tuo Luo was stunned: “There’s actually such a way to do this? Where did this old man get so much soul energy from…”

Song Jian looked at the old man and was momentarily stunned; he discovered that, after the old man got near, his mission prompt unexpectedly indicated that the ‘Find Master Kulun’ mission was completed, and the next step required handing over the Scepter Sword to Master Kulun.

“Excuse me, are you Master Kulun?” Song Jian pushed through the crowd and asked.

Kulun was taken aback, looked up at Song Jian, and after scrutinizing him for a while and realizing he did not recognize him, he said with a cold face, “Kid, I’m Kulun, but I have no idea who you are…”

Song Jian smiled slightly, reached into his inventory, and took out an over one-foot-long scepter adorned with various gems and handed it over.

This scepter sword was of extremely high quality; Song Jian had even thought about using it as his spare weapon, but ever since he took on the mission, the scepter sword, which originally could switch freely between a scepter and a long sword, had seemed sealed and could no longer extend its blade. This frustrated Song Jian greatly, forcing him to keep it as a mission item in his inventory.

“This is the emblem of power from the Valen Empire…” On seeing the scepter in Song Jian’s hand, Master Kulun’s expression became indescribably complex.

With trembling hands, Kulun received the scepter and gently caressed every gem on its surface, sinking into deep memories.

After a long while, Kulun recovered from his memories, looked up with red-rimmed eyes, and said to Song Jian, “Young man, I’m grateful you brought it to me. I can promise to do one reasonable thing for you.”

Song Jian stared at Master Kulun, unable to discern his attributes, but he believed that Kulun’s current forging level, even if not breaking through to Grandmaster, was definitely at the peak of Master Level. With such skill, if the materials were complete, there was a high chance of forging a piece of epic equipment.

Even without crafting equipment, under such circumstances, asking him for thirty Soul Light Spheres probably wouldn’t be a problem.

However, Song Jian went through a lot of trouble to find Master Kulun, not for these trivial matters.

“Master Kulun, I wish to obtain information about the Sword Immortal Set!” Song Jian respectfully said.

“The Sword Immortal Set?” Master Kulun trembled, sizing up Song Jian from head to toe with a face full of deep lines, a smile appeared: “Not bad, not bad, another seeker prepares to embark on the Ancient Road. It’s just that I don’t know how far you can really go…”

As he spoke, Kulun took out a gem from his bag and handed it to Song Jian, saying, “This is the Stone of Sharpness. Its material is one of those used to forge the Sword Immortal Set. With this, you will be able to sense the location of the Sword Immortal Set!”

Song Jian stretched out his hand to receive the gem that looked like white jade and carefully examined its properties.

This gem looked much like a wild beast’s fang, smooth and translucent, emitting a glossy sheen. At its tip, there was a small hole, seemingly suitable for threading a silk line through to hang around the neck.

[Item Usage Requirements: Complete the Legendary Path quest, gain recognition from Master Kulun]

In the quest log, the word “Completed” appeared next to the epic quest, the Legendary Path, and then it slowly faded away. The final reward for this quest was this very Stone of Sharpness. With it, one could embark on the journey to find the Sword Immortal Set.

“Thank you, Master Kulun!” Holding the Stone of Sharpness, Song Jian bowed slightly and said to Master Kulun.

“I hope you succeed, child!” Master Kulun said with a smile.

“Oh, by the way, this is the forge hammer that the branch president of the Smithing Guild, Talov, wanted me to give to you. He hopes that you will settle in the City of Hope after you leave Scorching Gorge,” Song Jian said as he took out a palm-sized forge hammer from his bag and handed it to Kulun.

“A high-quality replica of the Artisan God Hammer, I didn’t expect that little fellow Talov to be willing to spend so much, hahaha!” Master Kulun took the forge hammer and burst into laughter, clearly in a joyful mood: “It came at just the right time. I’ve been searching the Scorching Gorge for more than ten years and finally gathered enough prime essence iron ore. Now, with this forge hammer, I have a greater chance of breaking through to the Master Level. Thank you, young man!”

Kulun was so happy that he immediately took out thirty Soul Light Spheres from his soul bag and handed them to Song Jian, saying, “Inside the Slaughter Tower lies a piece of the Sword Immortal Set. I hope you can acquire it. This is my thank-you gift; please don’t refuse it!”
