Chapter 587: Empyrean Relics
Desolate bone relics were important resources used in cultivating martial arts amongst Tian Yuan world warriors. Be it cultivation or breaking through cultivation realms, there was no lack of uses for them.
Usually, the basic currency used was low-ranked relics. These were actually relics that did not make the mark. They were not even a grade and were typically produced by Desolate Heaven apprentices or the lowest grade Desolate Heaven Masters. These would only be effective when used by Mortal Blood or Purple Blood realm warriors. Those people still stuck in the stages of body strengthening were usually treated as mortals.
Further up the rankings, there were inferior-grade, common-grade and superior-grade relics. These were used by Yuan foundation realm or Dao Seed realm warriors.
For a top sect like the Li Fire Sect, geniuses within the sects, like Gongsun Hong, would usually cultivate while using superior-grade relics.
These three relics did not have an exact exchange ratio, as different relics had different qualities. If one needed to really exchange between them, there was a need for appraisal and a fair agreement between mutual parties before the exchange was made.
The exchange ratio was usually in the tens, and seldom exceeded a hundred.
However, when there was really a need to exchange in practice, it was easy to exchange a higher grade relic for lower grade relics, but to exchange lower grade relics for higher grade relics? Difficult.
This was because those warriors, who were rich and were at a high enough cultivation realm, did not have any uses for low grade relics. So there was no need for them to make the exchange. Those who did these exchanges were usually major merchants, who needed to make change while doing business. Typically, they would sell it on the black market and raise the prices as high as possible.
As for relics that ranked above superior-grade relics, they were supreme-grade relics.
Supreme-grade relics were also known as Sage relics. They were used by Yuan Opening realm warriors, and could even be used all the way until one broke through to a higher realm, eventually becoming an Empyreal King.
Previously, the rewards offered for killing Lin Xintong and Yi Yun by the Martial Alliance were supreme-grade relics!
And above supreme-grade relics was the highest grade of relics, known as Empyrean relics!
These sort of relics were typically Empyreal King level. Maybe a few of the best peak-Yuan Opening realm Desolate Heaven Masters could refine them. The materials used were the rare treasures that had to be sought for everywhere in the Tian Yuan world.
Every Empyrean relic refinement in a furnace only produced ten a time. These sort of relics were used for the cultivation of Empyreal Kings. Using a supreme-grade relic for a typical Empyreal King’s cultivation would already be ineffective.
Each Empyreal King was an anchors of a top faction in the Tian Yuan world. Hence, to many large family clans, Empyreal King relics were extremely precious resources. It could be said to be an accumulation of their heritage.
Even at the lowest exchange rates, an Empyrean relic could at least be exchange for more than a billion low-ranked relics. And in fact, there was no way for such an exchange to occur. What use was there for a billion low-ranked relics?
This astronomical figure made Ah Niu, Ah Yu and the young man in his twenties dumbfounded.
With their knowledge of the world, they found it hard to image such a bewildering mass of fortune.
Yi Yun placed the relics on the table. Ah Niu and Ah Yu were stunned. As for their cousin, the young man, he was staring straight at it. He nearly even drooled.
The ten relics shimmered in rainbow colors. They emitted a dream-like glow, and this was to him, the most beautiful thing in the world.
He couldn’t even help but sniff in deeply. To be able to breathe in the smell of such a relic in his life allowed him to die without regrets!
The ten relics were laid out in a line on the counter. Yi Yun’s wealth was undeniably massive!
Previously, he had robbed the Thousand Hand Granny and Shen Tu Nantian, taking away all their assets, however, those were just nothing but a drizzle.
