Mixed Blessing System

Chapter 770 5th Stage Secret

Three days later...

While Sages from different states traveled around Leopoldine searching for 5th-stage cultivators, some of Lothur\'s women had made progress on his orders.

After days of traveling around the state looking for demons but also for information, Elke had sent a notification to Lothur the day before about the Diamond-grade Soul Bones from Concordia\'s history.

There weren\'t many such bones throughout history. Few demon-human hybrids had been born during the chaotic relationship between humans and demons. As such, there were few bones from these creatures.

But many of the hybrids killed over the previous millennia had been well known in their time, with various stories about them and the hunt for them unfolding.

As much as it was in some people\'s interests to hide some of what had happened, given how ramified information about it became in their time, no one achieved their purpose in hiding everything about the appearance of these bones.

So even after just a few days searching for information related to these bones, Elke had already discovered what kind of bones half of the continent\'s Diamond-grade Soul Bones were.

She didn\'t know which organizations these bones belonged to at the time, let alone where to look or who they were with. But she was already aware of what part of a body these bones would join when fused with humans and hybrids.

She sent this information to Lothur, also informing him that some of her contacts were already looking for information about the other bones together with Rebecca. In a few more days, he could have the final information.

In the meantime, Rebecca, Daemon\'s group, and the level 19 beast had found a few more groups of low-ranking demons around the empire, sending some more of them to Lothur.

...

Meanwhile, in the Three Great Lakes Region...

[Name: Lothur Ritter]

[Physique: What doesn\'t kill you makes you stronger]

[Bloodline: Life Devourer]

[Soul Cultivation: level 22]

[Body Cultivation: level 22]

[STR: 3,500] [CON: 6,081] [DEX: 3,740] [AGI: 3,810]

[INT: 1,059] [PER: 6,280] [WIL: 2,380] [SOU: 9,850]

[EVF: 12]

Lothur looked at his status and saw some of the improvements he had made recently due to the help of his men hunting demons and enemies around Leopoldine.

Every day, he had been activating his bloodline ability and raising his affinities, resistances, and the progress of his Soul Bones.

From time to time, he also trained some of his techniques to improve his physical strength, but as he had been much more focused on helping his group, he hadn\'t had much time for that recently.

One way or another, with the information he had received from Elke recently, he was very satisfied, as he knew what bones not to add to his body in order to one day have a chance of obtaining one of these Diamond-grade ones.

Once he had the information on all these bones, he could go back to hunting high-ranking demons to complete two or one of the three possibilities he had left.

\'When the war around Leopoldine is resolved, and I have all this information compiled, I\'ll go and find the Tyrannosaurus Rex so we can get back to our demon-hunting mission.\' Lothur thought to himself, imagining a trip to Demon Island.

At his current level, he could still benefit greatly from the demons present on the continent and the human enemies who would come to challenge him. However, it would be very difficult for him to get the bones he wanted before the Diamond-grade bone across the continent.

As such, if he wanted to absorb new bones, Lothur would have to go to the place where 5th-stage demons lived!

\'I\'ll find that guy and then set off for that island. Going after the leaves of the system will be tough in the short term.\' He pondered as he saw the ashes of some of his enemies on the outskirts of the area where he had just shown off his bloodline ability.

For Lothur, the thing that could give him the most benefit was the system leaves. But there were two problems with him going after these leaves.

The first was that the chance of him finding them was slim due to their rarity and the fact that these leaves could only be felt from very close to them. It would definitely be easier for him to find 5th-stage demons with useful bones for him to absorb.

The second was that these items were the rarest in this entire world, and those behind them were definitely the strongest in the world!

With the knowledge he currently had about the strength of this world\'s experts, Lothur was wary of running into level 24 and 25 Sages if he went looking for these leaves.

As such, he wanted first to raise the number of his bones and significantly improve his attributes before continuing with this work.

Finally, having finished what he had just done, Lothur looked at the Silver and Gold-grade Soul Bones in his surroundings and collected them to pass on to his men.

On leaving the underground area where he was, Lothur soon came across a group of low-level Transcendents outside the estate.

Lothur\'s men could not leave their posts simultaneously to come to this place to receive this man\'s blessings. As such, every day, a different group came here.

Seeing the group of men who had arrived there hours ago and some of whom had already used his pills, Lothur chose the strongest and most relevant to hand over the Soul Bones of the demons he had just killed.

"Take advantage of this opportunity. After that, I won\'t help you again for a while."

All those people thanked him again, especially those chosen to absorb those Soul Bones.

Everyone there already knew what Lothur was. But knowing him for a long time or even realizing that he wouldn\'t act against them, they were all thrilled to serve him.

Having finished his business with these men, Lothur didn\'t stand still, and soon, he moved off into a deserted area of that great forest region, sensing that he was approaching an important moment in his journey.

The 5th stage was not normal. When one reached Sage cultivation, they would face spiritual catastrophes that would test them and bring them benefit or harm.

Why could Sages live so much longer than Saints?

It was because Sages had to overcome the catastrophes in front of them!

Those who didn\'t overcome them died, while those who did gained a lot of vitality!

And just that day, Lothur sensed that he was about to face the first of the five catastrophes he might have to face in his life!
