Death... and me

"Senior Laica," Rean began to speak, "I'm also starting to learn about alchemy. Would it be a problem if I took this opportunity to ask about a few herbs?"

Laica quickly touched a few options in the terminal while nodding. "It is okay. A lot of cultivators want to become alchemists, although only a few really have the talent for that. In any case, this is the database of herbs the Clan can provide. You already saw how the terminal worked, so you can check on your own. Also, Master's terminal has a lot more information than the terminals you can find for normal disciples in the clan, so make sure to use it well."

With that, Laica turned around and walked away. Her orders were to teach Rean about the place where they live and explain the new concepts. Now that she was done with it, she didn't want to stay anymore.

Rean scratched the back of his head. He got the list of materials from Roan, but there was no guarantee the herbs and other materials used the same name here in the Werdlem Empire. In fact, even back in Lisan Universe, it wasn't hard for the same herb to have different names in different regions. A Universe is that big, after all. "Well... I guess I can only look on my own..."

Rean first tried to use the same names, but sure enough, he got a few results but none of them were the herbs Roan passed to him. Following that, Rean switched to looking for the pictures and effects of the herbs and materials. There were tens of thousands of items in the database, so Rean spent quite some time in there.

Finally, Rean contacted Roan again through their connection. 'Alright, you mentioned five materials that are absolutely a must for the Void Shattering Pill. Tarmalia Weed, Deep Spirit Leaves, Blood from a Dragon in the Elemental Transformation Realm or higher, Azure Moon Gel, and Salite Roots.'

'As you can imagine, none of these items have the same name here in the Werdlem Empire. However, I did find three items in the database that have the same appearance and effects. I'll share my memories with you.'

Roan looked into those memories and was satisfied with the result. 'Yes, Fiery Rabbit Weed is the same one as Tarmalia Weed. Profundity Soul Herb is the Deep Spirit Leaves, and Enchanted Moon Gel is definitely our Azure Moon Gel.'

'Good!' Rean was happy to hear that. 'All these three we can buy in the Gondel Clan.'

'Oh!' Roan wasn't expecting as much. The Enchanted Moon Gel, for example, wasn't something you would find in the hands of a mortal world cultivator. 'This Werdlem sure is different. What do we need to acquire them?'

'That's the main problem,' Rean couldn't help but sigh. 'Enchanted Moon Gel can't be acquired without you being a High-Elder. They can't produce it, so the amount the clan has is very scarce, and you need to give a very good reason to ask for some.'

'The Fiery Rabbit Weed can be acquired with Spiritual Stones, but it costs 1000 of them, and they must be Rank Four Spiritual Stones.'

'Last but not least, Profundity Soul Herb is indeed here in the Clan, but you must go into the Ancestral Dungeon beneath the Clan and look for it yourself. From what is said here, the cultivation of at least a Soul Transformation Realm is necessary if you want to have a chance to survive the seventh floor and beyond, which are the floors where this herb grows,' Rean concluded.

Roan completely ignored the danger of the third item. With their skills, they should be able to go through that dungeon in the Core Formation Realm without many issues. The other two items were the real trouble. '1000 Rank Four Spiritual Stones... Foundation Establishment Cultivators can already take missions that reward Rank Two Spiritual Stones, so Rank Four shouldn't be anything too ridiculous, right?'

'We will need to check it,' Rean answered back.

Roan nodded. 'Then we have the Enchanted Moon Gel. The fact it even exists here in the mortal realm is already impressive enough. But... need to be a high elder? Perhaps it will be easier to sneak into their treasure trove and steal it.'

'That wouldn't be a good idea,' Rean shook his head in response. 'The formations here truly make my own back in Lisan look like a joke. I'm not confident that I can bypass the formations of this clan on my own. At least not with the cultivation I have at the moment.'

Roan pondered a bit. 'What about Kuslau? He is a high elder, isn't he? Can't you talk to him and see if you can acquire the Enchanted Moon Gel?'

'I could give it a try...' Rean thought about it. 'However, what kind of reason could we possibly give him? Don't forget even he will need to give the clan a reason to take some of the Enchanted Moon Gel.'

Roan stopped for a moment to think. 'That's problematic. I could offer him a Void Shattering Pill, but...'

Rean understood where Roan was coming from. 'That would mean revealing to him that we aren't just kids. There was also that incident with the Unidentified Werdlem Stone, so it would be quite a risk.'

'Leave the Enchanted Moon Gel aside for now,' Roan made his decision. 'Let's focus on acquiring the Fiery Rabbit Weed and the Profundity Soul Herb. How can we enter the Ancestral Dungeon of the Clan?'

Rean quickly searched the terminal and found the answer. 'Actually, anyone can enter it. It's just that there are many seals inside that separate each floor. The first floor, for example, can be explored when you are in the Energy Gathering Realm. Only Stage One Demon Beasts and Spirits can be found there.'

'Are there any barriers preventing us, the cultivators, from going deeper?' Roan asked back.

'No,' Rean shook his head. 'The seals are there for the Demon Beasts and Spirits only. The Barrier will not prevent you from going further down.'

Roan didn't need to hear more. 'That's enough for us.'
