Chapter 232
Ai Hui had some ideas about his own body .
Previously, his sky palace always went astray because of the existence of the sword embryo . As a result, although it had absorbed abundant elemental energy, he could not reach Initial Completion . After the sword embryo exploded, although the sky palace was still left with fluctuations, there were no obstacles any more, and Ai Hui naturally achieved the breakthrough .
As for the elemental energy pills, it was more a problem of habit .
The rotation of the elemental pills was very smooth, which meant that this procedure was feasible . Ai Hui did not know if anyone had ever derived the essence of how the sword pills functioned, but he knew that it was a common form . For example, the elemental energy bead was also in this form .
An inheritance named the [Starry Sky] required the practitioner to coagulate his or her elemental energy into the form of a bead .
After the formation of Ai Hui’s elemental energy pillls, the traces of sword energy contained in the elemental energy were restrained, and its stimulation of the palaces sharply weakened . The pills were more effective than he expected because the elemental energy was milder, or to be more accurate, more stable than spiritual force .
Previously, he thought that spiritual force was far more powerful than elemental energy, but now he had some new understandings . In some aspects, elemental energy was indeed inferior to spiritual force, but it also had its own advantages that spiritual force could not provide .
For example, the changes of the five residences and eight palaces were not as flexible and varied as the cultivators’ meridians system, but it was simpler, stabler, and sturdy .
Compared with spiritual force training, which was dangerous and unpredictable, elemental energy training was much safer . So far, due to the existence of the sword embryo, the elemental energy within Ai Hui’s body had changed many times, but he was still in perfect condition .
Taking a look at the swordplay manuals and spells from the Cultivation Era, even for the cultivators from big sects that were known for their purity and righteousness, any carelessness in training was likely to lead them astray and cause to go crazy . The training of the sword embryo was even more dangerous . As for blood arts training, it was simply seeking life in the midst of death .
Everyone in the Avalon of the Five Elements was training . Even though resources were limited, as long as they were persistent, their ability could gradually increase .
In comparison to spiritual force, elemental energy was simple, safe, and easy to train or use . Everyone could train with a very slim chance of deviating .
The Avalon of the Five Elements was created in a hopeless situation . Maybe such simple and safe energy was what they needed at that time .
The reason why the elemental energy system was inferior to the spiritual force system was not because of its outdated ideology, but due to its lack of accumulation . Elemental energy was like fertile soil . After a certain period of time, it could also produce fruitful harvests .
For no particular reason, Ai Hui thought of the Old Territory . It was a pity that few people in the Old Territory practiced elemental energy .
"Fatty, let’s practice fighting . " Ai Hui waved to Fatty .
Hearing Ai Hui’s words, Fatty ran to him without hesitation . He had a heavy shield in his hand that was taller than him . The shield was colorful, as if it had been patched up many times . The shield he used to use was destroyed, and this one was scrapped together with a shield he picked up somewhere .
Lou Lan’s skill was always trustworthy . Although it did not look appealing, it was secure enough .
Heavy shield, heavy armor, heavy Fatty . When he ran, he was like a mobile mountain and the ground rumbled .
"A Hui, no problem," Fatty agreed as he rolled his eyeballs, "but as a saying goes: financial matters should be settled clearly even between brothers . I can’t do this for free . I’ll be your training partner, and the debt between us is cancelled, okay?"
Ai Hui looked Fatty up and down in surprise . Then, he smiled and said, "As long as you can stop me . "
"No problem!" Fatty laughed . He thumped his chest and said confidently, "How can I ask you for money if I cannot stop you! You know I always remember the rules!"
He was of course confident . The rewards for the blood crystals included inheritances . When Ai Hui was unconscious, everyone else had just reached the Initial Completion stage and went to the mayor’s residence to select inheritances that were suitable for them .
A heavy shield bearer who had attained elemental internalization was an important role in the team . To accelerate Fatty’s progress, Shi Xueman and Duanmu Huanghun specially chose an inheritance that best suited Fatty and gave it to him .
Both of them had family inheritances, so these extra inheritances were unnecessary for them, but they could help Fatty progress faster .
Now Fatty owned three inheritances, the [Eternal Crucible], [Spinning Carapax Shield], and [Red River Belt] . They were all selected by Shi Xueman .
Shi Xueman was experienced and well-informed in this aspect . No one knew which inheritances suited Fatty better than she did .
The magistrate court was very generous this time . The inheritances were all refined arts which could be sold for a good price on the market .
There were various kinds of inheritances on the market which could be roughly classified into four categories . The most powerful one was undoubtedly the absolute art type, while the next level were called the extraordinary arts, which referred to an inheritance that had the potential to become an absolute art . The third level were the refined arts . In this level, the inheritances were unique with a degree of excellence . Lastly, the fourth level were the most common inheritances and named as ordinary arts .
In each level, the inheritances were further classified into two classes, A or B .
The classification of each inheritance had to be evaluated by professionals in each and every aspect . The extraordinary and absolute arts would be sent to the specialized ministry of the Elders Guild for further evaluation and authentication .
To raise the level of one’s inheritances was another important way to gain Heaven Merit Points .
Whoever was able to develop an extraordinary skill to an absolute art would obtain a lot of Heaven Merit Points from the Elders Guild, even though the new absolute art would not be disclosed to the Elders Guild . The Elders hoped to encourage the continuous development of all kinds of inheritances in this way .
If the developers were willing to sell such arts, they would receive an amazing fortune . The Elders Guild and each major family were all more than willing to purchase a brand new absolute art .
Every year, many people became famous and wealthy by augmenting inheritances into absolute arts . From this process, many talented elementalists were attracted to and engaged in arts development .
Ai Hui’s [Big Dipper], for example, was a B-class extraordinary art . If he could develop it into an absolute art, even if it was still B-class, the money he would earn would be enough for him to spend for the rest of his life .
The gap between an extraordinary art and an absolute art seemed small, but was in fact similar to an unbridgeable chasm .
The three inheritances Fatty received were all refined arts .
