Chapter 464: Chapter 312: Soul Shrine (4K)_2

Within the Tai Xuan Alliance, there are territories capable of mass producing these.

After gathering his thoughts, Mu Yuan steadied his hand on Dead Bone’s suggestion and conducted several probes. Finally, he confirmed that there were indeed no ambushes inside this small camp and with a grand gesture…

“Get rid of them!”

…

The Jackal Man elites walked away peacefully.

The dense forest remained serene and still.

Mu Yuan entered the camp. From the outside, the camp didn’t seem large, but once inside, he discovered a deep hole that the Jackal Men had dug out.

It was filled with countless dry bones.

From the outlines of some skeletons, it could be vaguely seen that their owners were once massive and powerful.

The Jackal Men here had buried a great many powerful monsters.

But why?

Mu Yuan looked toward the shrine in front of him. The shrine was covered in dust, looking old and damaged; it covered an area of roughly two to three hundred square meters and was eight or nine meters tall. Set against the backdrop of towering trees and enormous skeletons, the whole shrine seemed rather small.

On the front of the shrine, candelabra burned with two wisp-like blue cold flames.

Duo Lai reached out his hand, touched nothing, yet inexplicably shuddered.

“Soul Shrine”

“Description ①: A special outdoor structure that can harvest souls and create Remnantsouls.”

“Current residual Soul Energy: 2.366”

“Description ②: 1 point of Soul Energy can create a Random Rare level Remnantsoul; 3 points of Soul Energy can create a specified Rare One-star Remnantsoul; 100 points of Soul Energy have a chance to create a Random Superior Grade Remnantsoul; …”

With the ability to create Superior Grade Remnantsouls, this Miracle Building is definitely among the top-tier in numerous outdoor structures!

For Mu Yuan, he did not need Superior Grade Remnantsouls, but he could expend one point of Soul Energy to create 100 ordinary Random Remnantsouls, or 33 specific types of Remnantsouls.

Isn’t this much better than the Sacrificial Black Coffin next door?

Mu Yuan snapped his fingers lightly. The ground not far away bulged, and white bones drilled out, intertwining to form a gigantic Hand of White Bone. The Hand of White Bone grasped two Jackal Man corpses and tossed them in front of the Soul Shrine.

“Prompt: Would you like to offer the carcasses?”

“Prompt: Fresh carcasses are required to use the Soul Shrine. Once the carcasses are stored for too long, the residual souls will dissipate completely and cannot be harvested.”

“Prompt: Would you like to harvest ‘Jackal Man Brutes ×2’?”

“Prompt: Harvesting completed, gained Soul Energy ‘0’.”

Mu Yuan: “…”

Duo Lai glared at the Soul Shrine with malice, “Did this broken structure just swallow our stuff for nothing!” He kicked it fiercely, and the ground trembled while dust showered down.

But, General Duo Lai was misunderstanding the situation.

Although the Soul Shrine seemed a rather eerie and ominous structure, as a Miracle Building, it still observed the basic rules. The reason it hadn’t harvested any Soul Energy was most likely because…

“The two carcasses we provided, they don’t have souls.”

“They’re just ordinary, non-sentient little monsters.”

To verify this guess, General Duo Lai brought over a carcass of a Jackal Man sub-leader that in life was of Third-order Warlord level.

“Prompt: Would you like to harvest ‘Jackal Man Hunting General’?”

“Prompt: Harvesting completed, gained Soul Energy ‘0.366’.”

This robust Jackal Man carcass too turned into numerous pale blue light particles in front of the shrine, fluttering and then disappearing.

Mu Yuan harvested all the Jackal Man elites present.

More than 2/3 of the Jackal Man carcasses could not harvest Soul Power, while the remaining 1/3 could harvest at least 0.1 units of soul from a single individual. A single entity, at most, yielded 1.233 units of Soul Energy, contributed by an elderly Jackal Man priest.

With that, the shrine’s accumulated Soul Energy reached 6.222 units.

“Create all Little Skeleton Remnantsouls,” commanded Mu Yuan.

Outside the shrine, the two wisp-like blue cold flames flared up, flickering continuously.

Along the vast hall inside the shrine, clusters of blue cold flames began to light up as well.

They all flickered, spreading a chilling and ominous aura, as if a strange ritual was being performed.

“This outdoor building seems to have a few issues, much like the Sacrificial Black Coffin.”

After shivering for several seconds, ripples ran through the shrine, and a total of 207 Little Skeleton Remnantsouls appeared in succession.

Mu Yuan inspected them for a while and then had Duo Lai collect them.

“`

The harvest is good.

If the carcasses in the Jackal Man tribes had still been there, it would have been even better.

…

For the next three days, Mu Yuan closely watched the movements of the second Jackal Man tribe and the Kobold Tribe.

Both tribes were relatively calm, their daily routines not much different from the past—hunting outside, holding blood sacrifices. There were occasional minor conflicts between the two tribes, sometimes resulting in hundreds of casualties, but the ones who died in battle were just minor creatures from the Jackal Men and Kobolds.

The scent of blood within the first Jackal Man tribe gradually dissipated.

No Jackal Man powerhouses were seen coming here.

Instead, with the disappearance of this significant local power, monsters started to become active in the surrounding areas. Yesterday, a group of wild giants defeated several competing monster groups and took over this feng shui treasure land of the Jackal Man tribe.

They began to construct their own buildings here and gathered and called upon their kin from around the area.

In just one day, the number of the entire giant group had doubled, reaching 112.

Not many in number, but not weak in strength.

After all, even the weakest giant was of Rare Two-star grade.

And the trace of the Jackal Man overlord was still not to be found.

Mu Yuan watched for twenty-four hours almost without sleep, even deploying more reconnaissance methods around the Jackal Man tribe. He did not wait for news on the Jackal Man overlord but instead got news from the Elf’s Courtyard.

“The Legendary package I asked Liu Miumiu to purchase on my behalf has arrived?”

“And two lords expressed that they have access to Epic remnants and asked if I still wanted Superior Grade Remnantsouls.”

Of course, he did!

…

Although no trading gathering was held today, the Secret Realm was still bustling, with at least twenty to thirty lords present.

It’s said that the Lord of Han Yue City had released quite a number of Keys to the Secret Region at the last gathering, and the membership of the entire Secret Realm had also noticeably increased.

“The Tianyuan Giant is here.”

Someone shouted.

Of course, Mu Yuan wasn’t some major star, just a newcomer with some battle achievements and a bit of a promising future, not enough to frequently attract the lords’ attention.

Only when big figures like the Lord of Han Yue City arrived would the entire place focus on them.

“Here, the goods you wanted are right here, check them yourself.”

Liu Miumiu took out a standard storage briefcase, which contained a total of four sets of ‘Legendary Breakthrough Materials.’

The Tai Xuan Alliance possessed a complete method for breaking through to the Legendary Realm. The Breakthrough Material packages had also been optimized several times and had ‘easy to purchase’, ‘wide applicability’, and ‘high auxiliary effects’ among others.

The only drawback to the Legendary Realm Breakthrough package is — it’s expensive.

A complete set of Legendary Realm Breakthrough Materials, including auxiliary materials, venue rental, and so forth, roughly needs about 2000 Soul Crystals.

Mu Yuan had no venue to rent.

The package he asked Liu Miumiu to purchase wasn’t the complete set of materials either.

He didn’t need that many materials.

What he primarily purchased were the ‘Enhanced Sublimation State’, ‘Solid Will’, ‘Enhanced Stamina’, and most importantly, the small sets for ‘survival.’

This ‘simplified version’ set he bought cost him about 500 Soul Crystals.

Still very expensive.

Mu Yuan directly bought four sets, each with different property tendencies.

But the price of 500 Soul Crystals is what he would have paid if he went to the large city and bought them at the ‘ordinary price.’ Now he was entrusting Liu Miumiu to buy them on his behalf, and he not only had to pay a purchasing fee but also a ‘cross-regional trading tax’ for two people.

He needed to pay a high price of 700 Soul Crystals for one set.

Painful, too painful!

After Duo Lai and Dead Bone had broken through, he’d have to draw on the experience to optimize the Legendary packages again; he couldn’t withstand such expensive costs every time.

After all, his house had too many powerhouses capable of breaking through to Legendary.

Lord Shepherd expressed his distress.

Optimizing costs is a matter for the future, but for now, it’s time to open up a new source.

Mu Yuan snapped and took out all the Superior Grade Remnantsouls, including that Third-order ‘Fierce Gun Ranger’ Remnantsoul.

Just like that, dazzling and bright.

The unremarkable Lord Mu once again attracted everyone’s attention.
