Chapter 76：Higher Rank Spirit Stones

Just as Juri mentioned, Rean and Roan were already back on their feet a few days later. They also returned to teach the classes after that. Even though they were already at this level, the twins still found it nice to help the kids. Especially when fighting classes started. They could bull- cough, cough, teach the other kids proper weapon combat.

In the end, Roan also made a few other manuals for other weapons like Staff, Spear, Mace, etc... However, there were no skills for them. Creating abilities take a long time. So far, Roan only managed to create those three skills of the Death Sword Style, so he couldn't waste time trying to develop skills for the other weapons too.

The kids would need to rely on themselves in the future is they wanted skills. Of course, the majority of them use Swords, so they could try his Death Sword Style Skills. It's just that Roan's skills were really hard to learn, so no one other than Rean was able to use even one of them. Even the warriors who used Swords and had the manuals had a hard time trying to apply the concepts.

Later on in a training field, Roan asked something that was bothering him.

"All the Spiritual Equipments you made so far were only Low-Level ones. Although they are much stronger than others at the same level, it doesn't change that fact. Why haven't you tried to make a high-level one yet?"

Rean sighed after hearing that.

"Do you think I don't want to? It is because we are poor!"

Roan's eyes opened wide after hearing that.

"Poor? We get at least five thousand Spirit Stones per month, how can you say we are poor?"

Rean shook his head.

"The problem is not the Spirit Stones, but their quality. The Spirit Stones that we are using are considered Rank One Spirit Stones, the lowest level. I only know that because Juri told me about it while discussing a few things about the Varen Workshop. Later on, I tried to look for High-Level material for forging. Do you know how much the cheapest one, a Spiritual Ore called Natin, costs?"

Roan shook his head. He had always left Rean in charge of their weapons, so he had no idea.

Rean smiled bitterly and then said.

"1kg of this ore is worth one thousand Rank Two Spirit Stones. It seems like you need 10 Rank One Spirit Stones just to get a single Rank Two. The problem is, no one wants Rank One Spirit Stones, they all prefer to keep their Rank Two ones. So instead of 10, you would need to offer 12 or so if you want to get it."

Roan was taken aback by that. Indeed, they are really poor. Rean would need to save Spirit Stones for years to get enough material to make other weapons. If it was just 1kg, then Rean could save enough to buy it after two or three months. But that is not the problem.

One must remember that Rean couldn't simply buy the ore and make whatever. He needs loads of it and other types so that he can test several types of alloys. Let alone 1kg, Rean couldn't start anything without at least a hundred of it. Rean spent at least 300kg of Spiritual Kaz Ore to reach the final result of their actual sword. Trial and Failure were a common sight during the creation of this new alloy.

"It seems like Low-Level Spiritual Ores will have to make do for the time being."

Rean nodded.

"Yes. However, you do remember that my Steel Sword, made of ordinary materials, is stronger than most Low-Level Spiritual Weapons, right? If you trust my metallurgist skills, you should know just how much stronger these swords are compared to the normal ones. I dare say that I created an alloy good enough to be compared to the High-Level Spiritual metals already."

Roan didn't doubt that. After all, he already tried an ordinary Spiritual Sword before and could tell that it couldn't even hold a candle to Rean's one. Perhaps, Rean's sword is really at the High-Level side.

"Now that you talked about Spirit Stones, don't you feel like the ones we have are not being able to keep up?"

Rean nodded.

"So you thought that too? I can also feel that I can only take so much from them. Of course, cultivate without them is several times worse."

Roan then pondered a bit and asked Sister Orb about it.

[That is understandable. Your rate of Spiritual Energy Absorption is far above others, after all. Rank One Spirit Stones are indeed just Rank One. It would be much better if you used Rank Two. I dare say that the speed of cultivation might go up by another 50% at the very least.]

Rean couldn't help but sigh.

"Unfortunately, Rank Two Spirit Stones are hard to get. Even if we have enough Rank One to buy them, there are simply not many for sale."

Sometime later, a guard of Juri's house appeared.

"Rean, Roan, Juri is calling you over."

They looked at each other and nodded.

A few minutes later, they arrived at Juri's house.

"Oh, you are here."

Juri then began to explain.

"I've been thinking about increase the number of Steel Weapons for sale every month. At first, only Alanda and I were at the Foundation Establishment Realm. I was afraid of inviting problems if I took a bigger slice of the market. But now that the two of you are in the Foundation Establishment Realm, I feel more secure in relation to our Tribe's safety. What do you think?"

Roan just shrugged his shoulders.

"Ask it to Rean, money issues are not my focus, combat is. If he is okay with that, then I don't give a damn."

Rean immediately nodded.

"I was also thinking about it. So let's go ahead with your plan."

Juri laughed before he and Rean started to discuss the details. Roan only stayed on the side and didn't intervene since he didn't care. As long as he has Spirit Stones to cultivate, then that is fine.

Suddenly, an elder barged inside the room like a hurricane.

"T-Tribe Leader, you need to come with me quickly!"

Juri and the twins were taken aback. Still, Juri understood that it was urgent, so he immediately followed the elder. Rean and Roan wanted to go together, but the elder looked at Juri as if saying that they should go alone.

"Don't worry about them, just show me the way."

Receiving Juri's confirmation, the elder quickly brought them to the Aptitude test hall. Seeing the place where they arrived, Juri and the Twins already had an idea of what happened.
