Is that a Wisp? Chapter 1086 – Soul Needle Treasure

Everyone split up into many groups of their choice, soon dispersing from the place as they headed in their direction of choice. 

Krune looked at a crying Hazak, saying, “Go, broaden your horizons. That would help you the greatest. My race has by far one of the lowest lifespans. So, I have to cultivate faster. I’ll wait for you at the top.”

“Yes.” Hazak sniffed, wiping her tears as she was unable to refute his instructions. She was then consoled by Hwait as the two of them accompanied Grotak, Doit, and Leat, forming a team of five as they went in one direction. 

The Seamstress, Zamuria, Solare, and Zamura formed a team and headed in the direction of their choice, tailing after one of the treasures that caught their fancy. 

After everyone left, Krune sighed in relief, snuggling with Feifei. “Finally, some personal family time!”

As Feifei hugged him tightly in their embrace, Krune said with a tone full of emotion, “Did you miss me?”

Right as Feifei was about to reply, he continued, “How did you survive so long without sex? You sure you didn’t go mad?”

“…”

“Tee-hee!”

The figure of a certain wisp could be seen flailing around in the forest that day as a scene of carnage ensued forth. The screams were so loud that anyone that had thought of traveling in this direction redirected themselves, shuddering at the pitch of the wailing.

A certain rounded figure was used as a soccer ball and kicked everywhere a certain pissed character wished to kick at. Eventually, any cartographer that passed by would have to scratch their heads, for the map had to be changed a lot. 

Slinging over a certain wisp on her back, Feifei sauntered into the dilapidated town, waving her hand as she noticed the middle-aged lady from before. “I’ve come to deal with your problem.”

“How did you come from here?” The middle-aged lady was shocked as she watched Feifei, looking in the other direction to gaze at the path that she had taken before. Unable to come to terms with it, she couldn’t help but inquire, “Just who are you?”

“Haha, I’m just your everyday humble cultivator,” Feifei replied, soon arriving at the center of town as she nudged at Krune. “Hey, come on. Don’t sulk too much.”

“…” Krune turned the other way, remaining silent.

“Lookie here, a treasure,” Feifei said, gently poking Krune as she gazed at him, staring at him until he was unable to endure any longer. 

“Ugh, fine, fine. I won’t sulk anymore.” Krune groaned as he danced in the air once, turning around to see the treasure as he was shocked. “What the heck is this?”

“Are you able to feel anything different from it?” Feifei asked. 

“No, but…” Krune said with a frown, “I am getting a familiar feeling from it. Like it was made for me, or rather my kind.”

Krune then slowly floated before the needle treasure, gently touching it with his body when he shuddered, as if he was being electrocuted, suddenly feeling immense pain. “Ahhhhh!”

A couple of seconds later, his screams stopped as Krune was able to feel something different in him. When he noticed, he was able to sense the needle present in his Wisp Core, as if it had become a part of it. 

Then, with a thought, it manifested beside him, hovering alongside him as Krune said, “I don’t exactly understand myself. But, it seems this treasure has been bound to me from now on. This is unlike any equipment I have seen. Or rather, this is a…”

“Growth-type equipment?”

“And not just that…” Krune frowned as he continued, “Even if it gets destroyed, I would be able to condense it once again like it’s just a part of my ability. Seriously, just what is this treasure?”

Suddenly, the needle treasure trembled before spinning in the air, stopping after a second as it pointed in a certain direction. Krune and Feifei made eye contact as they disappeared from the location. 

The middle-aged lady stared agape at the scene, unable to make heads or tails of the situation. “That treasure that caused so much misfortune to the town is gone…just like that?”

Leaving the town, the duo arrived at a remote location twenty kilometers away from it. Krune stopped as he observed the needle shivering faintly while pointing at a certain location in the ground. 

It was a spot situated underneath a boulder. “I feel like it’s showing me something.”

“Let’s check.” Feifei nodded as she pushed the boulder away, failing to notice anything different in the spot the boulder had been before. 

Krune then summoned his Cloud Whale, causing it to unleash its air needle to drill a hole into the ground. Soon, they bored deep into the ground, reaching a depth of ten meters before coming across a metal chest. 

Feifei brought it up and opened it, revealing the chest filled with Rank One Spirit Stones. She then looked at Krune, noticing the needle beside him pointing at the chest. “So, it was pointing at this chest?”

Krune thought for a moment, saying, “I think this treasure works like a compass and points towards treasures. I feel like the level of treasure it can point towards is related to my cultivation base. The higher it is, the greater the quality of treasure it can point towards.”

“What an interesting ability.” Krune laughed, watching Feifei place all the Rank One Spirit Stones in her storage ring, shocked as he asked, “How do you have a storage ring?”

“A friend of mine gifted it to me.” Feifei smirked, saying, “Don’t stop. See if it can point towards other treasures.”

“Sure.” Krune had just replied when he felt tired all of a sudden. The Spiritual Energy in his body turned a bit sluggish as he sensed the changes, observing for some time before saying, “It seems there’s a cost to use this treasure. I cannot use it consecutively.”

“Nevertheless, it’s an incredible treasure.” Feifei nodded. “With it, we can obtain a lot of treasures. Let’s first tabulate the information related to it and see how long it takes before you can use it once again.”

“That’s for the best,” Krune replied. “I’m anticipating what other surprises this Soul Needle has in store for me.”

“Soul Needle?” Feifei sighed. “You really never miss a chance to name stuff, don’t you?”

“Of course, that’s one of my greatest joys in life.”
