Chapter 290: Dark Element

4018 Low Grade Spirit Stones?
Lin Xiao was taken aback before he realized that his older brother was referring to the Spirit Stones that was obtained from the betting before.
"That's for me?" Lin Xiao was stunned.
Prince Lin Yan nodded. "I'm only betting on your behalf but all the earning will go to your pocket. Naturally, you can use it to buy some life saving treasure or to buy other swords… It wouldn't take long before your old sword to be worn down."
Lin Xiao recalled his sword and couldn't help but let out a self depreciating laugh. He had picked the sword by himself back then, thinking that it was quite good. But he also knew that it was only a sword at rank 2…
The other three in the group all have weapon at least rank 3!
He was really the poorest.
"In that case, I guess I really need to buy a sword for myself. Plus some life saving treasure." Lin Xiao knew that having treasures would be crucial because it can help him during crucial time.
Prince Lin Yan nodded. "Also, I forget to tell you. If you wish to use these Low Grade Spirit Stones to advance faster to Golden Core Stage, you better forget about it. Building your core required you to absorb the Qi that's suitable for your path.
These stones… normally use the most basic Qi and your body will only absorb a portion of it since you all have rare elements. It didn't matter that much when you're still at Body Training Stage but now that you're already at Foundation Establishment, you might need millions of these stones to be able to advance."
Right…
It was only now Lin Xiao recalled that his element was actually lake. It was no wonder he felt that his speed decreased considerably when he was at Foundation Establishment even though he was inside that small lake.
The others nodded.
"I'll naturally bet on your name. Do you wish to earn a lot of money too, Xiao Hua?"
Princess Lan Yi Hua nodded. "Yes. You can assign more battles for me too. However, I would like you to not reveal my identity."
"Naturally."
Prince Lin Yan would never want to put them in danger. The only reason why he revealed their identity to Hu Fei was because that person was his sworn brother.
As for how they met… that was an extremely long story.
Princess Lan Yi Hua looked at Prince Lin Yan. "How did you manage to get acquaintance with Hu Fei?"
"Do you know him?"
"Mhm." It took Princess Lan Yi Hua some time, but she finally remembered him. Marquis Hu was a powerful cultivator at Golden Core Stage 3 and was one of the pillars in Lan Hua Kingdom. However, he has an eccentric son who didn't want to go out at all.
It was often said that his son was either capable but stupid or weak and unsuitable to be seen.
Marquis Hu never bothered to explain the matter and thus, the rumors swirled in Hua Lan Kingdom. Princess Lan Yi Hua naturally had heard about that but she only thought about it after some time.
Prince Lin San sighed. "Let's just say that I meet him coincidentally during a treasure hunt."
"You come here often?" Princess Lan Yi Hua looked at Prince Lin Yan with furrowed eyebrows.
"Heh, with my ability, do you really think I want to be confined in this place? If possible, I want to go further, away from this restriction." Prince Lin Yan looked at Princess Lan Yi Hua and let out a faint laugh.
The five of them had reached the third floor. Lin Xiao was looking around and his eyes naturally landed on the largest room that seemed to span more than half of the entire third floor.
"That's the training room. It should be good for Xia Ye and Lin San to train in their dark element."
"Really?" Prince Lin San's eyes lit up.
"I noticed that you've been using your dark element technique, Dark Transfer." Prince Lin Yan naturally knew how Prince Lin San managed to escape his predicament before. "You better learn it more."
"Yes!"
"Master, I wish to learn too."
"Go ahead and train."
"Thank you, Master!"
The two of them rushed to the training room while Lin Xiao stood rooted in his place. He was looking at the training room for some time before looking at Prince Lin Yan. "Dark element is feared because it can destroy other people's cultivation, right? Does it mean that it can also corrode one's body?"
Prince Lin Yan narrowed his eyes. "Yes. Dark Element is double edged sword. If it's used well, it can become the most powerful weapon. But if it's not used well, it will bring harm and countless destruction."
"Then, are there still other Dark Element Cultivators in Sun Kingdom."
"Naturally there are." Prince Lin Yan chuckled. He looked at Lin Xiao. "But most of them are already killed many years ago. I believed that Xia Ye's clan and family has been killed precisely because of their dark element."
Lin Xiao paused for a moment then sighed. He nodded. "I understand."
His men that he gathered all have their own path and also reasons for why they chose their path. What happened before they met him was naturally not his business but he was willing to help them as long as it didn't cross his line.
He would naturally make sure that they could exact vengeance if that was what they wanted.
"Right, the spirit stones, I want to use it, Big Brother."
"Here."
Taking the spirit stones, this was Lin Xiao first time feeling that he was actually quite rich. Previously, he had always felt that he didn't have much money and naturally felt the pinch for using even a little bit.
Now, he could finally use it more.
"Now that you earn so much money, do you think that Sun Dragon Academy was stingy?" Prince Lin Yan suddenly threw him a question.
