Chapter 257 – Secondary Spring Water of Youth, Ba-Serpent Grass
Without a doubt, the big bearded Einherjar was not as hot-headed as he appeared to be. When he stole water, he only stole a little bit.
Naturally, this kind of opportunity was extremely rare.
Wei Xiao Bei had stolen a large amount of it to the point that the Einherjars had been attracted by him. Even the few Einherjars that had stayed in the hall were guarding the entrance of the hall.
Just like that, the bearded Einherjar had taken the opportunity to steal the spring water.
However, there was already not much water left. If he had taken too much, he might be noticed. If he was noticed, then he would not be able to escape like Wei Xiao Bei.
Thus, a small test tube of water was enough.
Compared to the bearded Einherjar who had an easy time stealing water, Wei Xiao Bei had now ran out of the hole and charged towards the dense woods.
THe Einherjars behind him did not hesitate at all as they immediately followed in behind him.
With an exhale, Wei Xiao Bei had pulled out one of the javelins inserted in his thighs as he laid down under a tree.
Wei Xiao Bei could now be said to be battered and exhausted.
His back, legs, and arms had all been run through by the javelins. His entire body was dripping with blood. Luckily, he had a strong regenerative ability that was able to close his wounds, while the injuries in his limbs quickly regrew.
The only problem was that after releasing electricity, Wei Xiao Bei’s nutrition had been emptied, causing an unbearable hunger to rise up within him.
This had greatly affected his ability to recover. Even his body fat was not enough to help him. If he did not replenish himself with food, it would be very difficult for all his injuries to heal up.
Wei Xiao Bei grabbed the stone card and thought, “Teleport!”
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4
Wei Xiao Bei wanted to leave the Dust World and return to reality, but it would take him five minutes to do so!
On the other hand, teleporting only needed 10 seconds.
The Einherjars were able to quickly follow the bloodstains to find Wei Xiao Bei.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. More than 10 short javelins were thrown into the air as they were launched towards Wei Xiao Bei.
However, when the Einherjars’ gazes became filled with happiness, a ball of white light suddenly came out of Wei Xiao Bei’s body and quickly enveloped him. In the next instant, the light disappeared along with Wei Xiao Bei.
The javelins rained down inserting themselves onto the spot where Wei Xiao Bei lay.
With a flash, Wei Xiao Bei felt his eyes blur. Soon after, the fragrant smell of flowers entered his nose.
When he opened his eyes, Wei Xiao Bei’s tense mind had relaxed.
This stone card is truly useful!
He had instantly arrived at Bai Ta Hills’ surroundings from the Nordic Dust World!
His surroundings was a field of green grass and blooming flowers. There were even dragonflies and butterflies flying in the air.
The place was filled with vitality, even more than the surroundings of the lifeless World Tree.
Hunger!
His hunger had simply not allowed him to stop and observe his surroundings. He immediately grabbed his Small Holding Bag and pulled out pieces of barbecue.
His hands were dirty and even let out the vile stench of blood, but Wei Xiao Bei did not bother with the smell and fiercely bit into the meat, tearing it bit by bit.
The plain barbecued reindeer meat originally did not taste bad. Now that he was hungry, it tasted even better.
Wei Xiao Bei finally stopped after swallowing 10 pieces of meat.
After patting his protruding stomach, Wei Xiao Bei looked at his surroundings. The Ming Lun Envoy did not appear, and there were no other movements.
Wei Xiao Bei created a bowl made of stone and lightly bumped it with his Small Holding Bag.
In the next instant, the jadite-like spring water appeared in it, spreading a fresh smell.
Just a single sniff was enough to make Wei Xiao Bei feel his vigor return a bit.
Status Appraisal!
……
Name: Secondary Spring Water of Youth (Rare Quality)
Description: This object is produced by the pedestal fragment of the original Fountain of Youth after it had been destroyed. Because this spring water came from a fragment, the effects are largely weaker than the original Spring Water of Youth.
Effect 1: After drinking, every milliliter drunk will increase lifespan by one year.
Effect 2: If 30 milliliter had been drunk in one go, one’s appearance will return to 18 years old, the golden year.
Effect 3: If this water is poured into an injury, injury will quickly heal.
Effect 4: Drinking this will slightly increase vitality and charm attributes.
Effect 5: Drinking this will increase resistance against mental strength consumption in the Dust World.
Effect 6: This object is volatile. Anyone who breathes in the fumes would feel vigor enter their bodies. This object can be stored in any space-type treasure or the pedestal fragment of the Fountain of Youth.
……
When Wei Xiao Bei examined the information of the Secondary Spring Water of Youth, his first reaction was surprise as he had truly obtained a treasure!
His second reaction was to place the water back into his bag.
In that instant, the water let out fumes causing Wei Xiao Bei to feel his muscles twitch.
This things is simply priceless.
Every milliliter would increase one’s lifespan by 1 year!
If he brought this back to the real world, a single milliliter would probably net him tens and hundreds of millions of yuan that everyone would fight for.
On the other hand, the second effect was something wives past their primes would definitely want.
The third effect was like medicine from video games.
The fourth effect was not bad. Having vitality and charm increase would mean increasing two main attribute values and all their sub attributes.
The fifth effect was to extend the time a person could stay in the Dust World.
The sixth effect was simply strong!
After that, Wei Xiao Bei carefully took out a bit of it again. He took out roughly one milliliter of it and did not delay as he immediately drunk it. Then he used [Precise Calculation] to begin inspecting the effects of the water.
Naturally, the most important things he watched out for were his lifespan and attributes.
When he had just swallowed the water down his throat, the water immediately burst into mist as if it had been dropped into a deep fryer, rapidly spreading everywhere.
This spreading had completely ignored his corporeal body. In an instant, he felt as if his entire body became covered in mist, and every cell became very lively.
When the mist went away, the effect of the water stopped. Wei Xiao Bei came to an understanding of this water.
The cells in his body became younger after drinking the water.
In other words, this was the so-called cell telomere extension.
In modern scientific research, they say that the length of the cell’s telomere can determine a person’s lifespan.
Those aged people that were close to death had their telomeres already shortened to a tenth.
Second, the water had indeed increased his status values.
Due to how high his health was, it did not increase from this, but his endurance had increased by 0.02 points, and his charm and all its sub-attributes increased by 0.03 points.
Afterwards, Wei Xiao Bei drank 2 more millimeters of spring water, allowing him to fully understand the effects of the water on his attributes.
Every milliliter of Secondary Spring Water of Youth would increase his vitality’s sub-attributes by 0.05 points, and his charm’s sub-attributes by 0.03 points.
Other than increasing his lifespan, just increasing his status values already made it a great treasure.
Naturally, for Wei Xiao Bei, this Secondary Spring Water of Youth could only increase his endurance and charm’s sub-attributes.
His health attribute was so high that only after drinking two milliliters did it increase by 0.01 points.
Additionally, the effect it had on his endurance was decreased by half. Only charm which Wei Xiao Bei did not touch had increased normally.
The amount of Secondary Spring Water of Youth Wei Xiao Bei had obtained after braving dangers amounted to 1367 milliliters. After using 3 milliliters, there was still 1364 milliliters left.
Wei Xiao Bei was not willing to waste this treasure.
At this moment, he recalled another treasure.
It was the thing he had obtained the last time he entered the Bai Ta Hills in the Dust World. The Ba-Serpent Grass that he stole from Zhang Xuan Shuo.
Because this object could easily attract other monsters and he could not take out from the real world, Wei Xiao Bei had not observed it carefully before. As time passed, he had forgotten about it.
Now that he remembered, he immediately took it out from his Small Holding Bag.
Afterwards, he used [Status Appraisal] on the it while it let out a wonderful fragrance.
……
Name: Ba-Serpent Grass (High Quality)
Description: This item was grown after absorbing a young Ba-Serpent’s essence from its saliva. This object matures after 30 years and contain the Ba-Serpent essence.
Effect 1: After eating, increases the user’s muscle attribute by 10 points, ignoring evolution point requirements.
Effect 2: After eating, user has probability to obtain the aura of a Ba-Serpent. Ba-Serpents will treat you as one of their kind. May have unexpected consequences.
Effect 3: This item has a unique smell that attracts creatures regardless of distance. Please handle with care.
……
There were a total of three effects, and it was a high quality good. From one look, it could be seen that it was a lot inferior to rare quality goods like the Secondary Spring Water of Youth.
However, from Wei Xiao Bei’s point of view, this item was not inferior to the Secondary Spring Water of Youth at all.
The only problem here was luck.
He could see that butterflies and dragonflies continuously gathering from the distance. He could also see the monsters outside the barrier gathering outside it, but they could not enter. Wei Xiao Bei did not hesitate and ate it.
The Ba-Serpent Grass was something that could increase his muscle attribute to 10 points while ignoring evolution point requirements.
