Chapter 377: Flux Binding Pill's Origin
Translator: Mercurial_ Editor: DarkGem
Li Yunmu suddenly thought of something and said, "I want to know the process of creating flux binding pill. Can you tell me?"
"Flux binding pill?" the sea breezing whale said in Li Yunmu's mind in an odd tone.
Li Yunmu touched his scalp and said in a fake disappointed voice, "What, don't tell me that even as a grand ancient sea breeze clansman, sire also doesn't know about it. "
As he expected, once the sea breeze whale heard his comment, it said in a high pitched voice, "Who said I don't know. There are very few things in this world which my sea breeze whale clan doesn't know about."
But after those words which delighted Li Yunmu, the next ones sent his mood into the abyss.
"The secret in question far surpasses the half-request. Therefore, I will not inform you. Human, I ask you to stop with your cheap tricks in front of a being which has lived for thousands of years. Don't test me."
The sea breeze whale's voice contained a hint of warning and pride.
"Then what would be the price for which sire could exchange that secret information?"
Li Yunmu turned gloomy. Although it was a monster, it wasn't that stupid.
The sea breeze whale had indeed lived for a long time. According to Earth's ancient words, anyone who has lived for a long time will be extremely experienced. Clearly, this rule also applied to the Origin World.
In fact, among the four classes of monsters, the majority of them had already attained wisdom by the time they stepped into the enormous beast class. And that wisdom was no inferior to that of humans.
However they were still unable to achieve the intellect of desolate beasts who could speak human words and communicate mentally.
"Ohh… this is interesting. First allow me to think. Flux binding pill is the secret of humanity's upper class. Under ordinary circumstances, any human would consider it as a taboo subject. Even if one knew, they shouldn't speak of it nor mention it like you did. Your actions betray that you still don't know about due to your strength being far from sufficient.
"However, my sea breeze whale clan isn't bound to keep a secret among humans nor do we fear the powerhouses of humanity. Therefore, as long as you can pay the price which can move my heart, I will tell you about it."
It was clear that the sea breeze whale had lived a long time in solitude. Once something caught its interest, it began to speak much more.
Li Yunmu became secretly excited. There was a chance that he could obtain some of this world humanity's secrets.
It had to be known that any matter of the Origin World was strictly guarded on the basis of the class system.
Regardless of whether it were humans or monsters or any other being, all of them had strict hierarchy . If one inquired about information above their class, they would face extreme punishment and penalty.
That's why what was different here was that it wasn't that people didn't know about secrets, but that they wouldn't speak of them. The number of secrets one could learn about in the Origin World was completely dependant on one's personal strength and position.
And right then, he could obtain the information from the sea breeze whale who didn't fear humans, so why would he waste such an opportunity?
"This youngster doesn't have anything; however, I still request sire about the conditions," Li Yunmu said.
"Simple, if you don't summon me for a year, then I will tell you about it," the sea breeze whale said after some pondering.
This… it would make things extremely difficult for me.
When Li Yunmu heard the demand, he was startled. It wasn't because it would be inconvenient for him, but rather because of the condition itself. Motherfu*ker, was that still a condition?
Not summoning it for one year? What sort of condition was that?
In fact, the first line the sea breeze whale had said after coming to the surface was that it wouldn't intervene in any battles, and Li Yunmu had been dissatisfied with this helper which he had summoned but could not use.
Yet the condition wasn't that simple. Although it wasn't a big loss for Li Yunmu, he still feigned that he was in a troublesome position.
"That is extremely difficult. Without you sire, how will I travel, how will I live throughout this year?"
"Hmm, without being able to summon me, you will face great inconvenience and suffer great losses. Then how about this, as long as you don't summon me for a year, I will answer an additional question of yours," the sea breeze whale said.
Li Yunmu clearly understood the usage of Hall Clan's carved skull. It could only be blown once per month to summon one of the eight races under Karl Werther and obtain assistance from them. In other words, it could be used twelve times per year.
Clearly, the sea breeze whale knew that Li Yunmu was a disciple of Blue Moon Island, and its old nest just happened to be in the vicinity. Therefore, it was very anxious that whether it was something important or not, Li Yunmu would blow the whistle month after month and thus disturb its peaceful life.
But Li Yunmu didn't want to lose the right to summon the eight races every month. They were a great assistance to him, so in the end the two of them reached a compromise.
They came to an understanding that in the next year, if Li Yunmu blew the whistle, the sea breeze whale would have no need to respond to the summoning.
And the price that the sea breeze whale would pay for it would be telling Li Yunmu about the process to create flux binding pill in addition to answering another one of his questions. Thus, when all was said and done, both of them were satisfied.
Li Yunmu only lost the right to summon the sea breeze whale clan for a year while still retaining his right to summon the other seven clans. Thus the loss for him wasn't that great. The sea breeze whale, in the meantime, could enjoy his life peacefully during that time.
"Good, now I will tell you the secret of flux binding pill. You must not spread it, and I will only transmit it to your ears."
"I vow that I will comply with the terms discussed between us," Li Yunmu declared his position and began to concentrate on the matter at hand.
"Actually this matter cannot be considered as a big secret among the upper echelons of humanity. What concerns how the flux binding pills are made, they are actually refined flux energy gathered from a matured different space. Very simple, right, as long as you know it, you will understand that it is very simple…"
Next, the sea breeze whale began to explain about the flux binding pill in detail.
The more Li Yunmu heard, the more awed he became. He had thought that the the Origin World was vast, having made a conservative estimate that its area should be ten thousand times greater than that of Earth. And it was a conservative estimate because his understanding of the Origin World was too shallow.
But after hearing about the details of flux binding pill from the sea breeze whale, he learned about secrets common people had no idea about. At that moment, he realized that the vastness of the Origin World was far from what he'd imagined.
