Eternal Thief

Chapter 1208: Sect Treasury Hall (2)



Ace didn't pay any attention to the other treasures when he saw the Spirit Fires on the list.

Elder Dewey had already told him that he would be rewarded with a Spirit Fire if he performed well in the Outer Sect Court.

After all, the disciple population of the Outer Sect Court was in the tens of thousands, and every forge disciple and even flame disciple wanted a Spirit Fire to raise their forger grade and power. So, the competition was extremely fierce there, even in the Inner Sect Court.

Furthermore, the Spirit Fires allocated to the Outer Sect Court were extremely ordinary since the good ones, especially those with unique characteristics, would be taken by the Inner Court if the Chief Hall Court didn't want them.

Yet in the Chief Hall Court, 52 Spirit Fires were available on the list of exchanges that any chief disciple could buy-the difference was massive.

But Ace knew that these Spirit Fires in the treasury were still ordinary compared to the Spirit Fires the four clans had. All those juniors in the clan got their own top-grade limited Spirit Fires from their clans.

Moreover, when their limited-grade Spirit Fire reached its limit, their clan elders would help them find a new, more powerful one.

The Spirit Fires in the treasure exchange were mostly Ascension Grade-1, and some of them were Ascension Grade-2, but they were not top grades; rather, they were inferior grades.

The top-grade Spirit Fires were beast spirit flames that had peak potential within a cultivation realm and could surpass it a little, like an Ascension Grade-1 Spirit Fire that could support a peak Ascension Soldier and was even helpful for a 1-Star Ascension Warrior. Such a Spirit Fire would be considered top-grade.

As for inferior-grade Spirit Fires, their potential would not be high and would be limited within a cultivation realm.

There was an exception: the growth-type Spirit Fires, which even cultivators like the Sect Master and Grand Elders coveted!

But Ace didn't care about such things because he had the mysterious treasure, the Spirit Fulcrum Lantern, which could not only capture any kind of Spirit Fire but also amalgamate them into new ones!

So, these fire spirits that were unworthy in the eyes of others were absolute treasures in Ace's hands. One of the requirements to cultivate the Universal Ascension Black Physique was a fire spirit with a dark affinity, and the only way to get one quickly was with the Spirit Fulcrum Lantern!

Taking a deep breath to calm his excitement, he looked at the Spirit Fires and their prices.

"Earth Magic Fire Lizard Spirit Fire (Inferior Ascension Grade-1)

Price: 1,000 Tier-4 Spirit Coins"

"Twin Tail Ash Lion Spirit Fire (Inferior Ascension Grade-1)

Price: 1,000 Tier-4 Spirit Coins"

"Demonic Flame Locust Spirit Fire (Inferior Ascension Grade-1)

Price: 1,000 Tier-4 Spirit Coins"

"Black Ghost Wyrm Spirit Fire (Inferior Ascension Grade-2)

Price: 10,000 Tier-4 Spirit Coins, 100 Sect Merit Points"

"Inferno White Hawk Spirit Fire (Inferior Ascension Grade-2)

Price: 10,000 Tier-4 Spirit Coins, 100 Sect Merit Points"

Ace frowned ever so slightly when he saw the nine Grade-2 Spirit Fires prices on the list. Although he could still afford the spirit coins, the sect merits were a problem, and he only had 1,000 of them.

Still, he wasn't deterred as he had already made up his mind. After looking at another section of the list, he turned to the female elder who had been waiting for him. Furthermore, the other elders behind the other two counters were also paying attention secretly.

"Elder, I want the 11 Ascension Grade-1 dark affinity Spirit Fires on the list, including the two Ascension Grade-2 ones. Lastly, I would like to buy the Upper Ascension Grade-2 Myriad Black Spirit Cauldron!"

The female elder was startled when she heard Ace's purchase order and asked, "Why do you want so many Spirit Fires?"

Although those Spirit Fires weren't of much importance to them and were available for sale, they were still quite precious, and a single disciple buying so many was something that had never happened before.

"Oh, I just chose a unique spell from the Sect Library called the Spirit Ember Infusion that can infuse Spirit Fires into treasures. You might've heard of it. So, I want these Spirit Fires to practice this spell," Ace replied matter-of-factly.

The female elder was astounded as she really knew about this wealth-burning spell, and she was even more shocked when she heard Ace dare to choose this spell, which even they didn't want to. After all, using a Spirit Fire as a material was simply too wasteful!

"You should reconsider. The success rate of Spirit Ember Infusion is too low, and if you fail, the fire spirit will be gone. You won't be able to recover the cost of what you've used, even if you succeed and sell the treasure to the sect," the female elder kindly advised.

"Thank you for your kind advice. But I still want to try, and if I fail, I'll simply give up," Ace solemnly promised while he secretly complained about these meddlesome people who liked to poke their noses into every little matter.

"Well, if that's the case..." The female elder didn't say anything further since she wasn't the one wasting her money. "The 11 Ascension Grade-1 dark affinity Spirit Fires will be 11,000 Tier-4 Spirit Coins or any item of equivalent value, the 2 Ascension Grade-2 Spirit Fires will be 20,000 Tier-4 Spirit Coins and 200 Sect Merit Points, and lastly, the Upper Ascension Grade-2 Myriad Black Spirit Cauldron will be 15,000 Tier-4 Spirit Coins and 150 Sect Merit Points!"

Ace nodded as he placed his disciple badge on the counter, and then, with a wave of his sleeve, 46,000 Tier-4 Spirit Coins appeared on the counter. As for how he was able to have so many Spirit Coins, it was all thanks to his victims' 'contributions,' especially the chief disciples he had robbed a few hours ago.

Ace had already stolen more than 10,000 Tier-4 Spirit Coins in the Western Guardian Sect City, including Tier-1, 2, and 3. Today, he stole over 130,000 Tier-4 Spirit Coins from the chief disciple, not to mention the raw materials and other treasures.

The female elder didn't think much about it as she took the Spirit Coins and his badge and stood up. "Wait here, I'll bring your order."

Ace nodded before quickly moving toward the spirit coin exchange counter where an old man sat. When the old man saw Ace coming his way, he frowned slightly, and Ace instantly sensed hostility from him, which surprised him.

But he didn't care as he didn't greet him and handed him a storage ring. "Elder, I want to exchange everything in this ring for the highest-grade Spirit Stones or Spirit Crystals withn/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

dark affinity!"

The elder narrowed his eyes at Ace's attitude, but he didn't say anything and took the ring. When he saw the contents, he was shocked!
