Chapter 1675: Imminent Danger

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Heavens! Am I imagining things? Octopus man rubbed his eyes, and then looked at the rock again. No, Im not This is an actual 100,000-year Ambergris! My god Ever since that thing appeared, we have not seen a single 100,000-year Ambergris for more than half a year!

Is this a 100,000-year Ambergris? Chen Xiaobei lit up. Well then! It would seem that Ive hit the jackpot this time! Wahahaha

Octopus man gasped, Childe Chen You were the one who scored this Ambergris? Are you like a professional Ambergris gambler?

No, Im just an amateur. It was a lucky pick. Chen Xiaobei grinned.

A lucky pick? Octopus man nearly tripped over himself. Childe Chen that is some phenomenal luck you have!

Childe Chen, youre too humble. Ao Chuner put on a grim look but there was awe in her eyes. You were able to find that Ambergris because you must have some special secret know-how!

Why? Are you going to back out, princess? Chen Xiaobei smiled. Im not comfortable taking something so valuable for free. Why dont you name a price, princess? I am willing to pay with Spiritual Stones!

No! Thats not what I meant! Ao Chuner said. I gave you the rock. So, whatever is inside belongs to you too. I will not renege, but I want to know your secret!

Since its a secret, how can I tell anyone about it? Chen Xiaobei smiled politely. If you mean what you say, perhaps you could enlighten me on how much of an increase in combat power I can get from this Ambergris?

What cultivation level you at? Ao Chuner asked.

Early phase of Ethereal Cultivation. Chen Xiaobei answered

Ethereal cultivation Ao Chuner tapped a finger against her chin. A 100,000-year Ambergris can help you gain an increase 10,000 combat power.

Why is it only 10,000? If a 10,000-year Ambergris can help increase a persons combat power by 3,000, then shouldnt a 100,000-year Ambergris mean an increase of 30,000 combat power? asked a perplexed and slightly disappointed Chen Xiaobei.

Thats not how an Ambergris works! Ao Chuner explained. Its effect and the users cultivation are inversely proportional! The higher the cultivation, the weaker the Ambergris effect! Take a 10,000-year Ambergris, for example. An elite whose cultivation is below Celestial Cultivation can have a 3,000 combat power increase whereas a Celestial Cultivation elite can only have a 1,000 combat power increase! For an Ethereal Cultivation elite, its basically useless! Similarly, a 100,000-year Ambergris will add 30,000 combat power to elites who are below Ethereal Cultivation, 10,000 combat power to Ethereal Cultivators, and nothing to God-Ascension cultivators. If there were no such constraints, our race would have used Ambergris to produce a multitude of Earth-God level elites!

Ao Chuner had given a very detailed, and logical explanation.

Chen Xiaobei nodded. I understand now. The higher the cultivation, the more difficult it is to advance. Thats common sense!

Are you disappointed? Ao Chuner asked empathetically.

Chen Xiaobei shook his head. No, a 10,000 combat power increase would actually be considered as pretty good. I can save quite a lot of time!

There were still a lot of Demonic Beast essences stored inside his body. If all of that was absorbed, he could increase both his combat power and health by approximately 100,000!

The catch was, that it would take one hour to increase 100 combat power and 100 health.

It would take him a total of 100 hours to increase 10,000 combat power thats four days and four hours!

Right now, Chen Xiaobei was on a time-crunch!

On one hand, was his three-month deal with Lady Nuwo! On the other, was Luo Putis martial arts competition.

Chen Xiaobei would never give up either one!

Every minute and every second of Chen Xiaobeis time had to be carefully planned!

Right now, being able to save four days was a result that Chen Xiaobei was more than happy to see.

Childe Chen, you can use this Ambergris now. Ao Chuner said.

Theres no rush. Chen Xiaobei said. Octopus brother, why were you in a rush when you got here? What happened?

Oh no! I almost forgot about that! Octopus man smacked himself on the forehead. The prince asked me to send for you immediately! Your royal highness, and Steward Pi should come with me too!

I have to go too? Ao Chuner held her breath. Could grandfathers condition be worsening?

Yes.. Octopus man swallowed nervously. His majestys condition is getting worse. He coulddie anytime

How did it become like that What are those useless doctors doing The rim of the princesss eyes reddened.

Whoosh!

Ao Chuner rushed out of the store towards the crystal palace, with Chen Xiaobei and the others at her heel.

In the royal crystal palace.

Chen Xiaobei was in no mood to admire the magical palace. He followed Steward Pi at an increasing speed into the Imperial Palace.

In the Neptune holy emperors bedchamber.

There were about a dozen people of varied races from Neptunes to humans kneeling at the foot of the stone steps outside the palace. They were the doctors who were hired to cure the holy emperor.

Another dozen men and women of varied ages were inside the palace. From their dress-code and their aristocratic demeanor, Chen Xiaobei could tell that they were the royalties of Neptune Starfield.

Once she entered the bedchamber, Ao Chuner threw herself to the emperors bedside, and began weeping.

GrandfatherGrandfather Chuner is here Open your eyes to look at Chuner sniff sob sob

Chuner! Stop crying Dont disrupt grandfathers rest A few beautiful young mermaids gathered around the crying Ao Chuner and pulled her away.

Liancheng! Where is that Miracle Doctor you found? Why isnt he here yet? A middle-aged man who looked very much like Ao Liancheng asked with a sense of urgency in his voice.

Im here! Chen Xiaobei walked into the room behind Steward Pi.

Every pair of eyes in the room turned towards Chen Xiaobei.

The middle-aged man was livid. Ao Liancheng! What kind of joke is this?! Dont you know what condition your grandfather is in? This matter affects the survival of our entire race, and youve got us a kid? Have you lost your mind?

Father Ao Liancheng said with conviction. Childe Chen is extraordinary! Ive seen his skills with my very own eyes! He is worthy to be called a Miracle Doctor! Please let him take a look at grandfather!

Shut up! The middle-aged man barked. As the royal elite member of the Neptune race, I will not permit anyone to make a joke out of his majestys life! This is equal to making a joke of the lives of the hundreds and millions of Neptunes citizens!

I Ao Liancheng was bereft of speech.

Chen Xiaobei stepped in. Im not joking around. If you dont let me cure your holy emperor. He will draw his last breath in 10 minutes time!
