Chapter 768 Child of Misfortune

Chapter 768 Child of Misfortune

One of the most important things that Leo needs in this world is the Moon Stones and with his current status, getting his hands on even the low-level moon stones will be quite difficult and almost impossible.

The only thing he could do was to collect the Fragments of the Moon Stones and merge them into moon stones.

However, even in this case, there was a problem because if someone finds out that he was collecting large quantities of Fragments of the Moon Stones, they would tell something was amiss and become curious about it.

Therefore, Leo thought that if he could collect the Fragments of the Moon Stones in the name of his about to open a beast ranch, it wouldn't raise much suspicion.

Moreover, the other two sects have already opened a small beast ranch; however, since the Twilight Moon Sect was low on funds, Leo's predecessor removed the beast ranch.

Right now, Leo decided to re-open the beast ranch and using that as an excuse, he could collect as many Fragments of Moon Stones as possible without any worries.

"Opening a Beast Ranch? It looks like all the things we heard about the Twilight Moon Sect are nothing but lies."

"Yes. They must have enough funds to maintain the Beast Ranch now."

The two sect leaders were shocked to hear Leo's words because they knew how expensive it was to maintain a Beast Ranch and it would take decades or sometimes even longer to receive profits from it.

"It's alright! We have enough funds for now and since the Lunar Sect will send someone to my sect soon, I thought I should re-open a beast ranch."

Leo didn't bother to hide the fact that the Lunar Sect was sending someone to his sect because the other two sects also knew about it.

"Sect Leader Leo is truly lucky to have such a cultivation genius in his sect."

Both the sect leaders were jealous of Leo's luck before saying,

"I can give 1500 Fragments of low-level Moon Stones"

"I can also give the same."

Of course, they didn't bring the Fragments of the Moon Stones with them and informed Leo that they would send them after they return to their sects.

"As a thank you, I will give you these 1000 mid-level Qi-refinement Pills each for you."

After thinking for a moment, Leo gave 2000 mid-level Qi-refinement Pills to the two sect leaders.

Even though they were not highly valuable in the eyes of the Sect Leaders, they didn't mind accepting them because they could save around 2000 low-level spirit stones.

Since they have sects that were filled with hundreds of Qi-refinement cultivators, Qi-refinement Pills are the basic resources for them.

"It seems that the disciples are consolidating his cultivation. We will visit you once again after a few days."

Soon, both the sect leaders informed Leo that they would leave while indirectly informing Leo that they would visit him when the recruiter from the Lunar Sect visits his sect.

"Sure."

As for Leo, he revealed a slight smile and nodded his head.

"Master, are you going to open a beast ranch?"

After the two sect leaders and their gangs left, Gallant asked Leo about the Beast Ranch and even the three elders were also curious about it.

"Yes. We will have a beast ranch and nurture some powerful and rare beasts."

When it comes to beast nurturing, Ajax was fully confident and knew he could make full use of his [Quasi Divine Knowledge] to nurture the rare beasts.

All he needs was the Moon Stones and Spirit Beasts which were the basic resources for the evolution of any beasts in this world and as for the other ingredients, with some effort, Leo could either buy them or bring them from the Dark Moon Forest which was not very far from Silver Moon City.

"Prepare everything for the Beast Ranch. I will go out as I have something to do."

Leo didn't wait for Gallant's reply as he asked him and the other three elders to start working on the Beast Ranch.

"Yes, Master."

Gallant and the three elders nodded their heads as they knew Leo was up to something.

As for Leo, he changed his attire to that of a 'Mysterious Cultivator' and put on a mask on his face before going to the Market Square in Silver Moon City.

….

In front of the Infinite Treasure Pavilion, Ethan was waiting for the Golden Core Realm Cultivator that he met in the Black Market.

'Does that elder have such a miraculous pill that could increase the lifespan by 5 or 10 years?'

Ethan was thinking about the words that the mysterious cultivator had said to him before disappearing without a trace.

However, since that cultivator said that he would meet him at Market Square, Ethan was eagerly waiting for that cultivator.

"Let's enter the Infinite Treasure Pavilion."

Suddenly, Ethan heard a mysterious voice in his ears and without any hesitation, he followed a black-robed cultivator into the Infire Treasure Pavilion.

Infinite Treasure Pavilion is backed by an organization that has opened these pavilions all over the world. It is very famous and would buy any items from the cultivators and sell all the legal items.

Even if something was not available in the pavilion, as long as a cultivator places an order for the item, they would search and bring that item to the cultivator.

Of course, they would charge depending on the effort they spent while collecting that treasure or item.

'Why does Ethan have a limited Lifespan?'

[Quasi Divine Knowledge]

As for Leo, he silently used his talent to check the information on Ethan and why he was so desperate for his life.

….

Name: Ethan.

Cultivation: Level 9 Qi-refinement Realm.

Title: Child of Misfortune: No matter where he goes, he will encounter a Misfortune and if he could endure and survive the Misfortune, he would encounter a Fortuitous Encounter.

Information: Originally an outer disciple of the Lunar Sect; however, he was kicked out of the sect after offending the Sect Leader's illegitimate heir. Later, on one of his adventures in the Dark Moon Forest, he was unlucky to encounter a Moon Demon and his squad members used him as a shield to escape.

As for Ethan, he used all his trump cards and killed the Rank 2 Moon Demon; however, he was once again unlucky as the dying Moon Demon used his special skill to bring Ethan with it to eternal life.

List of misfortunes and fortuitous encounters:

1) At age 4, lost both his parents; however, he was found by an outer elder of the Lunar Sect who noticed that Ethan has a talent for cultivation.

2) At age 10, lost his master and had to endure the bullying of the sect before finding a Marrow Cleansing Pill that was left by his master.

.

.

.

5) At age 24, he punched a bully who insulted his master and that bully turned out to be an illegitimate son of the Sect Leader and within a day, he was kicked out of the sect. However, one of the elders who was a little close to his master had given him a low-level Foundation Establishment Pill.

6) At age 25, he joined an adventure squad to enter the Dark Moon Forest to collect some cultivation resources and at the same time, to increase the funds to buy more cultivation resources; however, he encountered a rare Moon Demon in the outer section of the Dark Moon Forest before being cursed by it.

Nevertheless, he got a Lunar Pearl which he was planning to sell to get some funds to buy the resources that could increase his lifespan.

….

There was a lot of information about Ethan that appeared in Leo's head which shocked Leo.

'He has a title and it was very clear how dangerous that title was.'

Even though Leo was expecting that Ethan was special, he didn't expect him to be so special that he was a Child of Misfortune.

'Phew…thank god, I used my talent to learn about it; otherwise, it would have been quite dangerous for me and the entire sect.'

Actually, Leo was planning to take Ethan as a disciple before bringing him to his sect; however, after learning about the title, Leo quickly dissolved those thoughts.

'First, his parents died and then the outer elder who took care of him, died and if I take him as my disciples, I will be the next one to follow that outer elder.'

This was what Leo silently thought in his head.

'However, with that title, as long as he survived those events, he would become more powerful and receive good cultivation resources.'

It would be a lie if Leo said that he had completely lost his interest in Ethan because that title was bringing some benefits to Ethan.

'Anyway, the benefits it was bringing are not equivalent to the things he was losing.'

Nevertheless, Leo shook his head and soon found a private room in the Infinite Treasure Pavilion.

"I will give you a pill that can increase your life by 10 years. In exchange, I want something that you feel has an equivalent value to it."

Leo didn't waste much time as he directly came to the main point, making Ethan extremely shocked.

'What? A pill that can increase my lifespan by 10 years?'

Ethan thought about it for a moment, before bringing out a while-coloured pearl and at the same time, Ethan fell to his knees, "Along with this lunar pearl, I am willing to be a servant to the Elder for the next five years."
