That was even the lowest possible standard. No one knew what the final price of the ninth-grade spirit crystals would be, whether or not it would be worth ninety million. Fane had to be as prepared as possible. Nash knew that everything Fane was doing was in preparation for getting into Wild Gorge Pass.
He frowned and said, "It's not just hard to enter that place, it's dangerous as well. Do we really need to get the key?"
Fane nodded without any hesitation. "We have to. The Scarlet Case is something even all those elders were fighting over. Even though I'm considered pretty decent on Hestia Continent, this isn't my final destination. It's just a relatively low starting point. We need to constantly look upward, and not settle for less. We can't give up on any opportunity to keep climbing upward.
"The Scarlet Case and what's inside the Scarlet Case. I want it all. There's even that secret that has been bothering me."
Since Fane had said that much, Nash would not stop him. All he could do was sigh quietly as he walked over and pat Fane on the shoulder.
"I know you have a heroic heart, but I feel like the path forward will be very hard. You'll definitely meet with many obstacles in the future. You have to take care of
yourself."
Fane nodded, changing the topic to his future plans, he said, "I've already thought about it. I have to quickly level myself up and leave Heavenly Pills. There are too many flies here, it's so annoying."
The next afternoon, Fane went to the Serene Cloud Room like the day before. Raphael was the one standing guard that day as well. When Fane entered, Raphael had been leaning against a table as he whistled a little tune.
When Fane entered, he turned around with an irritated look. When he saw that it was Fane, the irritation deepened.
Raphael looked at Fane with a conflicted look and said, "Are you really as crazy as I think you are? Even if you waste a few days in there, no one will think that you're condensing pill runes.
"You've never even looked at the Way of the Pill before. You don't even know what the pill runes look like. How could you condense any pill runes? Do you think everyone else is stupid?"
Raphael really did not know what to say anymore. He had seen crazy people before, and he had met idiots. However, it was the first time he had met someone with Fane's particular combination.
He felt like Fane's actions had already exceeded the level of being dumb. Fane raised an eyebrow, not saying anything in response.
Raphael could think whatever he wanted to. After all, Fane was the only one who understood the situation. No one else would be able to understand, so he might as well not bother explaining.
