"Alright, system, start analyzing how many resources I need to create a complete growth type spirit fire of darkness affinity..." Ace quickly ordered the system while looking at the glowing Spirit Fulcrum Lantern.
Although Ac knew that he now needed to feed the resources to Spirit Fulcrum Lantern
mentioned by the system, he didn't know how much it required.
However, with the system, it was pretty easy after all. He can now control the system to some extent, so why should he waste his time on uncertain things?
The next moment, the system opened a panel in front of him.
[System detects a wisp of Nether Spirit Fire (Ascension Grade-1 Growth Type) in the Spirit Fulcrum Lantern!]
[Task: Create a Darkness Affinity Growth Type Spirit Fire]
[Calculating the probabilities...]
[Calculation completed: It is possible to amalgamate Ascension Grade-1 Growth Type Spirit Fire!]
-Requirements to activate the Spirit Fulcrum Lantern's Spirit Amalgamation and create a growth type Darkness affinity Spirit Fire: 3
-Requirement (1): Darkness affinity Growth Type Spirit Fire (Ascension Grade-1)
-The requirement has been completed!
-Requirement (2): 30 Limited type Spirit Fires of Ascension Grade-1 with Darkness or related elemental affinities, or 3 Limited type Spirit Fires of Ascension Grade-2 with Darkness or related elemental affinities, or 1 Limited type Spirit Fires of Ascension Grade-3 with Darkness or related elemental affinities.
-The requirement has not been completed!
-Requirement (3): 100,000 Upper Ascension Grade-4 Spirit Stones and 100,000 Upper Ascension Grade-4 Spirit Stones Spirit Crystals or 10 drops of Lower Ascension Grade-4 Spirit Nectar of Darkness or related elemental affinities, or 10,000 Ascension Grade-5 Spirit Stones and 10,000 Ascension Grade-5 Spirit Stones Spirit Crystals or 1 drop of Lower Ascension Grade-5 Spirit Nectar of Darkness or related elemental affinities.
Ace's lip twitched when he saw the second and third requirements to create this growth-type spirit fire of Ascension Grade-1 with darkness affinity. Although he had already expected this much, he didn't think it would be this ridiculous.
After all, Ace didn't have 30 Ascension Grade-1 limited-type spirit fires, 3 Ascension Grade-2 limited-type spirit fires, or an Ascension Grade-3.
Lastly, he barely meets the third requirement since he had already exchanged 200,000 Ascension Grade-4 dark affinity spirit stones and 100,000 Ascension Grade-4 dark affinity Spirit Crystals from the Sect Treasury Hall.
Although he also had over 10,000 drops of dark affinity Spirit Nectar of Lowe Ascensions Grade-4 from the Moon Fiend King's ring, they were too precious, and he didn't want to use them unless it was absolutely necessary.
Nonetheless, the problem was he didn't meet the second requirement at all since he only had 11 Ascension Grade-1 spirit fires and two Ascension Grade-2 spirit fires with dark affinity, and even the Sect Treasury Hall didn't have any more spirit fires with darkness affinity.
"System, what if I use 11 Ascension Grade-1 spirit fires and two Ascension Grade-2 spirit fires with dark affinity? Since a single Ascension Grade-2 spirit fire equals 10 Ascension Grade-1 spirit fires, will it work?" Ace quickly asked, hopefully.
If it couldn't be done, he would have to put this matter on hold and search for spirit fires first.
"[It is possible, but then the host has to use 1,000 drops of Lower Ascension Grade-4 Dark affinity Spirit Nectar or 100 drops of Lower Ascension Grade-5 Spirit Nectar! Spirit Stones and Spirit Crystals will not work.]"
Ace's eyes widened ever so slightly when he heard this and thought, '1,000 drops of lower- grade spirit nectar are equivalent to upper 10,000,000,000 spirit coins while upper-grade spirit nectar is almost priceless. A single drop of upper-grade spirit nectar can be exchanged with 100,000 higher-tier spirit coins from the spirit nectar grade.
'I have 10,748 drops of Lowe Ascensions Grade-4 dark affinity spirit nectar and 4,119 drops of Upper Ascensions Grade-4 fire affinity spirit nectar. Lastly, I also got 34 Spirit Beast Vein Core Fragments of Upper Ascension (Sky) Grade-5 with light affinity, which is priceless. Many cultivators didn't even know about them since all the sects kept them for themselves.
'Well, if I can exchange 1,000 drops of spirit nectar for a growth-type spirit fire, it's worth it!'
Ace quickly made his decision and asked the system, "How should I activate the Spirit Amalgamation of the Spirit Fulcrum Lantern?"
"[Host only need to pour your Qi into the rune symbol on the base of the Spirit Fulcrum Lantern and then think about activating the Spirit Amalgamation.]"
Ace nodded in realization as he followed the system's instructions and used the Holy Twilight Spirit Qi. The moment his Qi touched the lantern's base, Ace suddenly felt a connection. When he thought about activating the Spirit Amalgamation, the lantern suddenly activated as runes began to spread from the lantern base.
Soon, an ethereal runic triangle one meter in diameter appeared around the Spirit Fulcrum Lantern.
"[Now host should place the materials into this formation one by one!]" The system's emotionless voice rang.
Ace quickly acted and took out the Spirit Fire Vessel where the spirit fires were stored. Thereafter, Ace started chanting a spell Elder Amirah taught to control the Spirit Fire Vessel.
The next moment, the crimson container lit up in runes, and a small opening appeared on the top, and a palm-sized translucent bubble containing a dark gray spirit fire appeared.
Ace then guided the bubble, which was actually a restraining spell to keep the spirit fire in check, towards the Spirit Fulcrum Lantern, which was now surrounded by the ethereal formation. The next moment, the Spirit Fulcrum Lantern again lit up in dark runes, and a suction force appeared.
Without Ace needing to open the restriction, the Spirit Fulcrum Lantern directly destroyed the restriction spell, and the spirit fire sucked into the triangular formation without giving it a chance to react.
Ace was even happier as he repeated the same process until all the spirit fires were absorbed into the Spirit Fulcrum Lantern's formation, which now shimmered brightly and released a powerful aura of mystical law.
Then Ace took out a translucent golden flask and opened its lid. This flask was an Ascension grade-5 treasure used to store spirit nectar. The space inside was massive and divided into ten sections, each able to store a different type of spirit nectar.
Currently, two of these spaces are occupied with dark elemental and fire element spirit
With Ace's thought, the small flask shimmered. The next moment, pitch-black droplets of dark spirit nectar gushed out of the flask, and a dense spirit Qi filled with dark law instantly
Without hesitation, Ace gathered a thousand droplets of the dark spirit nectar and sent them to the Spirit Fulcrum Lantern's formation.
The moment the Spirit Fulcrum Lantern absorbed all materials, the formation suddenly revolved as the lantern released a powerful aura.
Ace was shocked and then glad that he put the Dismantle Spirit Qi barrier up; otherwise, this aura might've drawn unwanted attention since those formations wouldn't have been able to
Ace gawked at the Spirit Fulcrum Lantern without blinking as he watched and tried to comprehend this entire process, but it was too mystical, and he could only sense the powerful
Soon after the process was completed, the Spirit Fulcrum Lantern returned to normal, but the light growing from within the lantern was no longer purple; instead, it was eerie dark. "System, is it done?" Ace quickly asked the system with expectance and a hint of anxiety, afraid it would fail, and then he would have no place to cry.
[Analyzing the Spirit Fulcrum Lantern...]
