Is that a Wisp?
chapter-113

"Don't you know? Oh right, you told me that this is a very weak planet in some forgotten corner. The side occupations' highest level here should be at most Eight or Nine Stars. In that case, the level above the first nine stars is the Silver Stars; consequently, the level above Silver Stars is Golden Stars."

Everyone immediately understood.

"So, we would need a piece of equipment made by a blacksmith at the Silver Stars Level?"

Hasik nodded.

"Considering the things necessary to keep a life-supporting small pocket dimension, a one Silver Star Spatial Equipment would be the very minimum."

Everyone's face became gloomy. Where would Krune's group even find such equipment in the Makui Planet?

"I can only think about Elder Loni from the Divine Path Sect. But, would he even consider giving us something of that level?"

Shinja commented.

Krune thought for a second when suddenly, his eyes lit up!

"We do have something capable of trading for that."

Shinja, Ao, and Yusa looked at Krune.

"Do you mean the Dragon Essence Liquid? Now that I think about it, you said that this thing is extremely precious. Then maybe it is really enough to do that."

Krune nodded and looked at Ao. Noticing his eyes, Ao just laughed in the end.

"Just go for it! Soul Healing Pill, or not, I'm confident in my chances of succeeding in my Core Formation Realm breakthrough."

Krune smiled and then looked at Hasik.

"How long do you think we have?"

Hasik pondered a bit and then said.

"It won't take long for their seer to find out about the changes in the destiny energy, and he might have found already. But the Rainbow Sect dimension outer shell isn't that easy to break into. I reckon that it should take at least three days for it to fall."

Krune face got serious, it would take at least two days for them to go back. Then another two days to return to the Rainbow Sect, there isn't enough time!

"I would need to make the trip alone in wisp form."

Shinja immediately refused that idea.

"No can do. There is no way that you can avoid detection for so long like that. I will go, I'm in the second stage of the Core Formation Realm, after all. I should still be quite fast, and I can keep going without stop. I believe I should take just a little more than a day if I'm alone."

But Krune immediately shook his head.

"First, I will need to take the necessary materials for the required formations. Second, I don't think Guild Head Bary would give the Dragon Essence Liquid to you. And third, Elder Loni doesn't know you."

Shinja was lost at words, Krune was correct in everything he said, but still... Krune was also thinking in a way when suddenly, Little Light talked to him.

"If all you want is to avoid not being detected by the others Divine Sense, I might have a way to do that."

Krune was surprised.

"How will you do that?"

Little Light immediately answered.

"Nothing hard, after changing into your wisp form, just keep a layer of Tribulation Lightning around your body. Do you think that the Divine Sense of some Divine Soul Realm ants have what it takes to penetrate the Tribulation Lightning power? Haha!"

Krune's eyes lit up!

"Alright, let's go with what you said."

Krune immediately told everyone that he had a way to keep his true form hidden and left right after. The others were left behind to think about a plan in case he doesn't come back in time. Once Krune arrived outside, Yusa and Shinja were with him. Yusa would have to keep the gate concealed while Shinja would help with spiritual energy.

Krune was just about to change his form when Little Light told him another thing.

"You will be immune against Divine Senses, but the same can't be said for the naked eye. You better be careful to avoid as many demon beasts and cultivators as possible."

Krune wanted to cry, why didn't he tell that before? Krune then spread his Divine Sense and found the demon beasts nearby. After deciding a path to take, he transformed back into his wisp form. He then released a little bit of Tribulation power to make a layer of purple lightning.

"Tribulation Lightning Movement, 50%!"

Brommmm!

In a flash of purple light, Krune disappeared in the distance. His wisp form has two significant advantages, the first being the fact that his elements control is much better like this. That's why he doesn't have a problem with filling 50% of the lightning energy necessary with Tribulation Lightning.

The second would be his low mass, his wisp form needs a lot less energy, which saves a lot of Tribulation lightning and Spiritual Energy.

Krune did his best to avoid other demon beasts' eyes, and he was fortunate not to be seen by anyone in the first hour of travel. That prevented those demon beasts from knowing from where he came. But his luck didn't last forever, there were situations where there wasn't a path devoid of demon beasts. So he could only outrun them with sheer speed. He couldn't simply change forms all the time since it also consumed Spiritual Energy.

When Krune was in his wisp form coupled with his Tribulation Lightning movement at 50%, he was even faster than ordinary 4th stage Core Formation Realm demon beasts and cultivators. But it didn't stop the news from spreading around. There were some demon beasts and cultivators on missions who noticed him in the end.

Krune couldn't care less, though. The closer he got to the Harta City, the lower was the cultivation of the demon beasts and cultivators. Which made it even easier for him to move. In the end, it only took Krune one day to arrive there. He found a secluded corner somewhere and transformed back into his human form. After that, he immediately entered the city and used the long-distance teleport formation to go back to the Mercenary Guild Headquarters.

Bary was in his office, taking care of a few documents when Krune suddenly barged in like a tornado. He was surprised at how tired he looked.

"Did something happen?"

Krune shook his head.

"I'm just in a hurry. Guild Head, I need to Dragon Essence Liquid."

Bary didn't mind and took out the bottle. After Krune received it, he immediately disappeared again. Bary, of course, got a little worried. It didn't seem like Krune was really okay. He checked where Krune went, and soon found out that he teleported to the city where the Divine Path Sect Spaceship is staying.

After appearing in the long-distance teleport formation, Krune immediately rushed in the Divine Path Sect Spaceship direction. But when he arrived there, he noticed something.

"How am I going to contact Elder Loni?"

The ship was enormous, not to mention that he doesn't know if the crew would even listen to his request. It was then that a voice came from behind him.

"I can help with that."

Krune was alarmed and immediately turned around, then he noticed that he had seen this person before.

"I've seen you previously with Elder Loni. Your name is Lena, right?"

Lena smiled and nodded.

"I'm impressed that you even noticed that since we never complimented each other before, you even know my name."

Krune was relieved to find someone who knows Elder Loni here.

"I've heard it from the other contestants. Anyway, I need to talk with Elder Loni, and it is very important. Would it be possible to do that?"

Lena showed a complicated expression and then said.

"Master is in seclusion right now, so I think it won't be easy. If it's not something hard to accomplish, I might help you instead. You are quite lucky already since I found you on my way back to the Spaceship."

Krune was surprised, he didn't know that Lena was Elder Loni's disciple.

"Since that's the case, then I will count on you."

Krune then explained what he needed and that he was willing to exchange his Dragon Essence Liquid for it. Lena heard that and was taken aback by that offer.

"I don't think this is good, your Dragon Essence Liquid drops are much more valuable than a piece of spatial equipment of one or two Silver Stars level."

Krune nodded since he was already expecting it to be the case. But he needed that equipment now, so he couldn't care about the price at the moment. As for the two drops that were Arlan's, Krune would explain it to him later.

"It doesn't matter, as long as I can get one, I can give all six drops I have with me at the moment."

Lena thought that something was wrong.

"What do you need it for?"

Krune just shook his head, though.

"I can't tell it, but this is extremely important for me."

Lena pondered a bit and said.

"Okay, wait here for a bit."

She then entered the Spaceship, and sometime later, she was already back. She then took a metal box and threw it at Krune.

"Here, take it. This is a Two Silver Stars spatial box, the space inside is several times that of a spatial ring that you can find here in Makui Planet. The best would be if it was a spatial ring as well, but something with the same space inside and the size of a ring would be a lot more expensive."

Krune was overjoyed with that. He then took out the bottle with the six drops of Dragon Essence Liquid and passed to Lena. But to his surprise, she refused.

"No need, I would be taking advantage of you if I accepted it. Instead, you will be owning me a favor. How about that?"

Krune didn't have time to think much about the offer, so he only thanked her and immediately left.

Lena looked at Krune, disappearing in the distance, and just smiled.

"That's what I call a good investment."

Krune immediately came back to the long-distance teleport formation and warped back to the Yule Continent Mercenary Guild Headquarters. Just as he was about to teleport again to the Harta City, Guild Head Bary stopped him.
