Chapter 131: Chapter 126 High-end Sparkle! (5/5)_1 A crack appeared, and waves of pure and surging Elemental Energy came pouring out. At the same time, a large group of various colorful Element Sprites also emerged, fluttering their small wings. There were so many of them that from afar, it looked like a shower of colorful powder spilled from a massive crack. With their arrival, the initially violent Elemental Energy, paradoxically, stabilized due to the influx of this enormous amount of Elemental Energy. Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue were directly hit by this flood of Elemental Energy, prompting a hint from the Heavenly Dao. As the Five Major Elemental Sprites previously disclosed, Chen Mo and Yingyue were expected to benefit during the Energy convergence when the channel opened. After enduring an Energy onslaught, they indeed received a notification. Both of them immediately opened The Heavenly Path’s Hint to view it. [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: You have sustained a massive shock from converging elemental energies. Due to your Elemental Control, you have gained a portion of the power of Elemental Elves, and have mastered a new special skill, "Elf Flicker".] [Elf Flicker]: You can blink instantly to any location within a range of your "Level*10 meters", ignoring any obstacles. Blink skill Cooldown time is 3 seconds! Elf Flicker, this is one of the top-tier blink skills! It has advantages such as short Cooldown time, long blink range, and it can ignore any obstacle, Chen Mo thought, incredibly excited after finishing reading the skill description. He had yet another versatile skill for both offense and defense. "Yingyue, I have acquired a blink skill. Did you receive any rewards?" "I have acquired a summoning skill. It allows me to summon an Element Sprite for battle, but I don’t know how potent it is yet." "Well, give it a try." Yan Yingyue nodded, waving her Magic Wand. A little ball of light immediately appeared before her. When the light dissipated, an Element Sprite with vibrating wings appeared in front of Yan Yingyue. This little Elf was fiery red, unmistakably a Fire Elemental Elf. However, it didn’t seem to possess much intelligence and merely fluttered up to Yingyue’s shoulder and remained there. Is that it? Yan Yingyue was a bit dumbfounded. Chen Mo immediately invoked his Pioneer Perception for a check. "This Fire Elemental Elf is quite powerful," he assessed. "It has area damage and pretty good single-target damage. These summoned lower-level Element Sprites probably don’t have much intelligence. You will need to direct them." Yan Yingyue had no experience commanding a unit lacking independent consciousness, but Chen Mo was already an expert at commanding Skeleton Monsters. With his explanation, Yan Yingyue attempted to direct the Element Sprite. As expected, the Element Sprite was very obedient, doing whatever it was told. "Does your skill mention that it only summons the Fire Elemental Elf?" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞 "No, it doesn’t." "Then try summoning another one." "Okay, my skill will be off Cooldown soon..." When the skill was off Cooldown, Yan Yingyue invoked it again. As she released the skill, the Fire Elemental Elf promptly disappeared. In its stead, a new small light ball appeared in front of Yan Yingyue. With the dissipation of the light ball, a new Element Sprite that was gray and surrounded by wind rings appeared this time. Without a doubt, this was a wind-attribute Element Sprite, Chen Mo realized. "I see. It’s random each time," Chen Mo mused. "Although the strength of the Element Sprites summoned by this skill is decent, they can’t be summoned at will. That’s somewhat of a drawback. Otherwise, its tactical value would be higher." "Oh well, something is better than nothing," Yan Yingyue said with a smile, not minding it much. After all, to snag a skill for free is pretty good already, she thought. Opportunities to freeload skills are not always there. After all, most skills have Profession Restrictions. Such skills that disregard Profession Restrictions are rare to come across! While the two were testing their skills, the gateway to the Elf realm started to close. And there were already Element Sprites everywhere, bartering and trading. I wonder what we can buy from the Elves, Chen Mo thought. He immediately sensed around with his Pioneer Perception. If he were to observe with his naked eyes, his eyes would surely be overwhelmed before he could see anything clearly. After all, the sheer number of tiny Element Sprites constantly fluttering their wings made them difficult to look at directly. After sensing for a while, Chen Mo found that the Element Sprites were all selling items related to elements. Among them, there were even many elemental materials and elemental tools. However, the items were not very practical for him. Nonetheless, while observing, Chen Mo suddenly thought of a freeloading method. The Elves are utterly defenseless against me now, he considered. I could simply snatch a pile of stuff and then use an Instant Teleportation Talisman to escape. Just, doing so would be somewhat unscrupulous. Moreover, it might leave a lingering problem. It would be one thing if I never interacted with them again. But what if I encounter these Elves again in some dungeon? That would be terribly disastrous. Taking such a risk for trivial benefits isn’t worth it. Looking around, Chen Mo only hoped to find a Five Elements Spirit Orb for sale, which would allow him to freeload a Legendary Level material. Unfortunately, it was unlikely to freeload Legendary Level quality items, which were already of high quality. As for Elemental Spirit Orbs, none were sold. After all, these objects aren’t worth much to the Elves themselves. They can conjure one whenever they want. Who would trade such a thing? After scouring the area, Chen Mo only found a few useful items. He tried approaching some Element Sprites to enquire about prices. The prices were outrageously high, which left Chen Mo somewhat speechless. The ones he liked, he couldn’t afford, and the ones he could afford, he didn’t like. It was a pointless endeavor. However, after a thorough investigation, Chen Mo suddenly came across an interesting object. Purple Gold Secret Key! In some dungeons, you might encounter locked chests. These chests are protected by special energies and cannot be forced open. Still, if you have a key of the same or a higher tier, you can open the chest and obtain its contents. This Purple Gold Secret Key could open all chests below a purple gold-grade. This is a key with extremely high utility, Chen Mo noted. "Hey, friend, how much is this key?" Chen Mo asked, imitating the tone in which Elves typically spoke. "I got this decoration by chance; it’s quite rare," the Elf said. "I think it’ll look beautiful in your home. If you want it, you can give me 1 eternal silver coin." Decorative item? Chen Mo was stunned momentarily before realizing that the Elf’s perspective was based on its worldview. In their eyes, the Purple Gold Secret Key had no practical use; thus, it was merely seen as a gorgeous, shiny, purple-gold colored decorative item. It did not carry the value of a high-grade key. Seeing this, Chen Mo, who was already short of money, decided to haggle. The little Elf had never experienced the cunning bargaining tactics of humans and was left astounded. In the end, after a flurry of haggling from Chen Mo, the baffled little Elf sold the Purple Gold Secret Key, which was worth hundreds of millions outside, for the mere price of fifty eternal copper coins to Chen Mo. Even after selling it, the Elf felt that it had still profited from the deal. This was indeed absurd!
