Chapter 1509 - Magic Medium Ring
Translated by XephiZ

The group found an inn to stay at for the night. Mo Fan was quite curious about Brianca's gift. She was being very mysterious by asking him to follow her to the magic marketplace.
New Suez was located on the middle stretches of the Nile. A lot of magic components trades took place here. The marketplace had many suppliers gathered there; it had everything that one could expect to find!
Soldiers were still fighting the overpopulation of the lamias on the outskirts of the city to the south, but the marketplace was operating as usual. It was crowded with people in outfits of all colors.
"I'm looking for a Soul Container, it will ensure that you can collect Soul Essences of the demon creatures you killed," Brianca said.
"A Soul Container is extremely rare and expensive. Miss Brianca, can you tell me what you need it for?" Mo Fan asked.
A Soul Container? Mo Fan had the best Soul Container that anyone could ever hope for! The Little Loach Pendant around his neck could absorb both Soul Remnants and Soul Essences. If Brianca was thinking of giving him a Soul Container, it was totally unneccessary!
"Didn't you use a Beast Tide at the airport?" Brianca said.
"Yeah, but my Advanced Summoning Spell is pretty normal. I don't even consider it a Beast Tide... maybe a beast creek at most!" Mo Fan admitted awkwardly.
Mo Fan did not really pay much attention to his Summoning Element. Most importantly, the Summoning Element was not something he could improve through cultivating. He had to put that attention on his Summoned Beasts!
Little Flame Belle was already very strong, and needed some unusual finds to get stronger. The Flying Creek Snow Wolf was currently comparable to a Great Commander-level creature, too. Mo Fan did want to help him to take a further step forward and enter the Advancing Period, but he would need quite a lot of resources to do so!
Mo Fan was a little tight on cash at the moment, and gaining some of the resources was solely based on luck. Even if he had the money, he still had to compete in auctions for the things he was looking for!
"The thing I have in mind is able to improve your ability to cast the Beast Tide. My teacher was an impressive Summoner. She gave me her belongings when she left the Alps. One of them is a Magic Medium Ring, a magical artifact that can open up the Summoned Beast Plane and Summon creatures from it to fight for the bearer. It is perfect when used together with the Advanced Summoning Spell… normally, the size of a Beast Tide is dependent on the Summoner's cultivation of the Summoning Element, while the species and the levels of the creatures are tightly related to the Summoner's Summoned Beasts. The Magic Medium Ring can permanently increase the number of creatures that are Summoned with the skill," Brianca informed him.
Mo Fan's Beast Tide had only reached the second tier. The truth was, Mo Fan could Summon other species with the spell, but since the Flying Creek Snow Wolf was always with the Enormous White Wolves, their synergy was better under the Flying Creek Snow Wolf's leadership. Every time Mo Fan cast the spell, he would Summon the Enormous White Wolves instead of some other species.
As Brianca mentioned, the Beast Tide was highly dependent on the Summoner's cultivation of the Summoning Element. Some adept Summoners could summon hundreds of ferocious armored beasts with a single casting of the Beast Tide. Those beasts could raze a city to the ground just by trampling and stomping it!
Mo Fan roughly estimated the maximum capacity of his Beast Tide to be between thirty to forty Enormous White Wolves, assuming the Flying Creek Snow Wolf was leading them. Without the Flying Creek Snow Wolf's help, Mo Fan could only Summon twenty of them at most, and the duration of the spell was significantly shorter, too.
Mo Fan was aware that his Summoning Element was actually quite useless, apart from the incredibly strong Little Flame Belle. It was time to improve his Summoning Element...
That being said, Mo Fan did not expect Brianca to be so considerate, giving something he needed the most at the perfect time!
"A Magic Medium Ring... how much can it improve my Beast Tide?" Mo Fan blurted out.
Brianca shook her head and explained, "It won't improve your spell by a percentage. It simply increases the number of beasts."
"The number of beasts?" Mo Fan was a little disappointed.
A Beast Tide normally consisted of a pack of creatures, without a fixed number. Each casting would have a slight difference in numbers, but the amount would be negligible if the Magic Medium Ring only increased the number of creatures by a few.
"It works under a few conditions. By feeding the Magic Medium Ring a Soul Essence, it will provide the Beast Tide a supply of energy in return. If you feed it a Servant-class Soul Essence, the next time you cast the Beast Tide, it will Summon an extra Servant-class Summoned Beast. A Warrior-level Soul Essence will add a Warrior-level Summoned Beast, and if it's a Commander-level Soul Essence, the extra Summoned Beast will be in Commander-level, too," Brianca said.
Mo Fan's eyes lit up like a bulb upon hearing this. He stared Brianca in the eyes and grabbed her hand, "Does a piece of treasure like that really exist!?"
"It's not really a piece of treasure, it's more like a medium. After all, you have to consume expensive Soul Essences to use it. Not many people could afford to spend so many resources on it." Brianca calmly pulled her hand back.
"So that's why you wanted to give me a good Soul Container, too?" Mo Fan looked at Brianca. He suddenly realized how considerate this woman who was only a few years older than him was. She was so lovable!
Mo Fan was currently in an awkward spot. Most of his Basic and Intermediate Spells had reached tier four or five, and were almost as strong as some Advanced Spells. If he could further improve them to the sixth tier, their damage would be insane!
Upgrading the Fiery Fist from the third tier to the fourth tier cost him forty-nine Servant-class Soul Essences. It was nothing to him.
Upgrading the Fiery Fist from the fourth tier to the fifth tier cost him forty-nine Warrior-level Soul Essences. That was quite a fortune. Using the market price as a reference, it would be around a billion won!
Upgrading the Fiery Fist from tier five to tier six would require forty-nine Commander-level Soul Essences!
Commander-level Soul Essences!!!
A Commander-level Soul Essence was usually sold for around three hundred million to five hundred million. Even with Little Loach's help, the total value of forty-nine Commander-level Soul Essences was still an unimaginable sum to Mo Fan.
As such, upgrading his spells to the sixth tier was obviously a strenuous project. He might have to wait until he became a Super Mage. Therefore, he had no clue where to spend the remaining Soul Essences. It would be a waste to spend them on improving the Basic Spells, since they would not really make any difference, but they were nowhere enough to strengthen his Intermediate Spells...
As a result, Mo Fan did not really pay much attention to the Little Loach Pendant and the Soul Remnants and Soul Soul Essences it had collected.
However, Mo Fan was immediately overjoyed when Brianca told him about the Magic Medium Ring. If a Soul Essence could add the supply of his Beast Tide by one, wouldn't he be able to Summon an army consisting of over hundreds or even thousands of beasts if he fed the same amount of Soul Essences into the Magic Medium Ring?
Even though it was a massive cost to reach an army of that size, it was still insane if the magical artifact had no limits to its power!

"Miss Brianca, you won't have to look for a Soul Container for me. I already have one, it's something that my family has been passing down from generation to generation. Is the Magic Medium Ring really as impressive as you said?" Mo Fan said.
"You can give it a go if you have a Soul Essence to spare," Brianca said.
"Sure, let's head to the outskirts in the south!" Mo Fan could not wait to see it in action.
Brianca was thinking of buying some Soul Essences from the marketplace. She had a lot of money with her. Since she had decided to give the Magic Medium Ring to Mo Fan as a gift, she felt it was inappropriate to give it to him empty. She was thinking of filling it up with some Soul Essences so it could significantly improve Mo Fan's Summoning Spell.
Mo Fan was pleased by Brianca's attitude of making sure the wallet was full of money even when she was planning to give it away as a gift. However, the price of Soul Essences at the marketplace was too high.
A single Servant-class Soul Essence cost around four million.
A Warrior-level Soul Essence cost around seventeen million. A Commander-level Soul Essence cost a few hundred million!
These were the common prices in New Suez. Egypt was constantly at war with the undead, thus they were able to 'mass produce' Soul Remnants and Soul Essences. They were a lot cheaper than the market price in China, but it was difficult to evaluate their quality...
Brianca was a Super Mage. She could easily afford a few Soul Essences, but in Mo Fan's eyes, it was a complete waste of money!
He had no problem collecting Soul Essences by himself. The only problem was… would the Magic Medium Ring accept the Soul Essences that Little Loach refined?
If it would, Mo Fan would have the best day of his life!
---
The two went to the outskirts and found a spot far away from the battlefield in a huge forest with wilted trees. It was most likely an oasis along the Nile in the past, but it had ended up in a miserable state due to the poison the demon creatures were unleashing.
The ground of the forest had cracked open a little. The sand of the dunes in the distance was slowly moving toward it. A few Lesser Lamias that had lost their ways were visible to them. They didn't know which way the city was!
"Try it out!" Brianca gave Mo Fan the Magic Medium Ring.
Mo Fan put the Ring on his finger. The Ring softened and turned into a liquid, dissolving into his body as soon as it touched him.
Only magic Equipment had to be bound to a Mage's soul. Magical artifacts were similar to accessories. Anyone could wear and remove them at any time!
"Little Loach, a Warrior-level Soul Essence please!" Mo Fan whispered to his little ancestor.
Little Loach was very cooperative, and immediately delivered a Warrior-level Soul Essence that it had refined not long ago into Mo Fan's body. Normally, these Soul Essences could only enter Mo Fan's Spiritual World to strengthen his Stars, but this time, Mo Fan was planning to transfer it to his new Ring!
Mo Fan was feeling a little nervous. He was worried that the two items could not work together, and also afraid that the Magic Medium Ring would not accept the Soul Essences refined by Little Loach...
Buzz...
His worries were unnecessary. The Magic Medium Ring promptly absorbed the Warrior-level Soul Essence from Little Loach. When Mo Fan opened his eyes, he saw a yellow half-crescent wrapping around the finger he had put the Ring on...
"Is that it?" Mo Fan asked Brianca.
"Yes, try casting the spell!" Brianca replied.
---
The Beast Tide spell consumed a significant amount of energy, and the longer its duration, the more energy it needed.
Mo Fan took a deep breath. He was still feeling a little nervous.
"Summoning Gate: Beast Tide!"
After the completion of the Star Constellation, the gate that a lunar-white glow constructed slowly opened up. A bunch of ferocious Enormous White Wolves charged out from it and howled their loudest.
Not long afterwards, over forty Enormous White Wolves had come out from the Summoning Gate. They ran a few circles around Mo Fan before realizing something. They went up to Mo Fan with confused faces.
Didn't he Summon them for a fight? Where was the enemy?
"I need a headcount!" Mo Fan urged them to get into a line.
The Enormous White Wolves were quite confused, but they still stood in a line obediently.
Normally, the creatures of a Beast Tide would not take orders from a Summoner. Their main purpose was to crush and trample everything in front of them. If the Flying Creek Snow Wolf was not watching, these Enormous White Wolves would be throwing a tantrum in the jungle by now!
"Forty-five… Old Wolf, is this guy new?" Mo Fan walked from one end to the other among the wolves. He did not rely on these simple-headed creatures to count themselves.
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf was like a platoon leader accompanying his superior. He let out a cry and ordered an Enormous White Wolf that was obviously a lot smaller than the rest of the wolves to step forward.
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf could recognize every Enormous White Wolf under his lead. Even though not all of them would be Summoned by the spell every time, he could still tell that the wolf did not belong to his platoon!
After a closer look, it turned out that the creature was not even the same species as the others. It was a White-Marked Wolf, with a beastly making on its forehead!
"There's indeed one extra!" Mo Fan was overjoyed when he saw the extra White-Marked Wolf.
The White-Marked Wolves were a lesser Warrior-level species in the Summoned Beast Plane. They were weaker than the Enormous White Wolves, mainly because the Soul Essence that Mo Fan fed to the Magic Medium Ring was not high-quality...
The rest of the Enormous White Wolves were extremely slow in their reactions. They grinned and revealed their sharp fangs after realizing a creature of different species was among them!
"That's enough, say hello to your new member," Mo Fan immediately grunted at the Enormous White Wolves, who were treating the new guy so fiercely.
The Enormous White Wolves immediately withdrew their fierce expressions, not daring to disobey Mo Fan's instructions!
"If I feed a Commander-level Soul Essence to it, wouldn't that mean I will Summon an extra Commander-level creature then?" Mo Fan asked.
"Yes, but it will speed up the consumption rate of your energy," Brianca confirmed.
"This magic tool is insane! Thank you, Brianca," Mo Fan was as happy and excited as if he had just seen a whole army of wolves, even though he had only Summoned an extra White-Marked Wolf.
"You're welcome. It's been with me for a long time. I believe it needs a more suitable owner," Brianca smiled.
"I'm pretty lucky this time. I rarely Summon a tide with more than forty beasts, but there are forty-four of them, and a new White-Marked Wolf this time!" Mo Fan said excitedly.
"I forgot to mention… the Magic Medium Ring has another effect, too. It will maximize the number of creatures you can Summon. In other words, from now on, you will always Summon at least forty-five creatures when casting the spell," Brianca suddenly remembered.
"Seriously? That is perfect!" Mo Fan was overjoyed once again.
The number of creatures Summoned by a Beast Tide was usually randomized. The stronger a Summoner's cultivation was, the higher the upper and lower limits of the number of creatures being Summoned. The number of creatures brought in by Mo Fan's current cultivation ranged from thirty to forty. Even Mo Fan had no idea that the highest number of creatures he could Summon was forty-four, excluding the White-Marked Wolf!

A faint, deep sound came from the woods. The alert Mo Fan quickly turned around and noticed many pairs of crimson-red eyes heading toward him.
Those eyes were as bright as torches. It was difficult to look at them directly as they came closer.
A dozen Lesser Lamias suddenly showed up before him. Their eyes widened when they saw Mo Fan and Brianca. They did not expect to see two humans in the middle of a tryst here!
Mo Fan and Brianca stared at the demon creatures in astonishment. They had no idea why these creatures had shown up here so sneakily.
The battle was supposed to be taking place in another area. Did these Lesser Lamias lose their way?
"There are a lot more behind them," Brianca said to Mo Fan.
"I don't believe these Lesser Lamias were stupid enough to lose their way. I bet they are trying to avoid the line of defense and trying to flank the army from this side," Mo Fan said.
The forest was their perfect cover. Once they moved through the forest, they might be able to ambush their enemies. These demon creatures were extremely cunning. They were not planning to take on the humans head-on!
"Go alert the army, I'll take care of them," Brianca took off the headband from her wrist and tied her hair up. Her silver pupils sharpened, giving her a heroic demeanor!
"That won't be necessary. There aren't too many of them. I can handle it… Miss Brianca, can you keep an eye on those that are trying to slip past us? I didn't have enough fun during the day, but since they have kindly presented themselves, I won't mind letting them have a taste of my fists!" Mo Fan chuckled.
The only way to collect Soul Essences was to kill!
The more demon creatures he slaughtered, the more Soul Remnants and Soul Essences he would collect! He was beyond excited when these cunning Lesser Lamias who were planning to ambush the city's line of defense showed up!
Little Loach could only collect Soul Essences that were marked by Mo Fan's magic. Brianca would kill the demon creatures very quickly, so Mo Fan could not afford to let her fight the creatures...
Brianca was about to say something when Mo Fan decisively charged forward like a mad bull!
It was Brianca's first time seeing a Mage like him. Most people would prefer to maintain a certain distance between them and the demon creatures, and blast them into ashes before they could get closer, but Mo Fan was taking the initiative to move closer instead!
"Is this all you got? It's not even enough to warm me up!" Mo Fan ran at the demon creatures as dark lightning flickered across his body.
When he reached the Lesser Lamias, they raised the bone sabers and clubs in their hands and swung them at him. They were still swinging their weapons when an enormous web of lightning swallowed them all.

"Go alert the army, I'll take care of them," Brianca took off the headband from her wrist and tied her hair up. Her silver pupils sharpened, giving her a heroic demeanor!
"That won't be necessary. There aren't too many of them. I can handle it… Miss Brianca, can you keep an eye on those that are trying to slip past us? I didn't have enough fun during the day, but since they have kindly presented themselves, I won't mind letting them have a taste of my fists!" Mo Fan chuckled.
The only way to collect Soul Essences was to kill!
The more demon creatures he slaughtered, the more Soul Remnants and Soul Essences he would collect! He was beyond excited when these cunning Lesser Lamias who were planning to ambush the city's line of defense showed up!
Little Loach could only collect Soul Essences that were marked by Mo Fan's magic. Brianca would kill the demon creatures very quickly, so Mo Fan could not afford to let her fight the creatures...
Brianca was about to say something when Mo Fan decisively charged forward like a mad bull!
It was Brianca's first time seeing a Mage like him. Most people would prefer to maintain a certain distance between them and the demon creatures, and blast them into ashes before they could get closer, but Mo Fan was taking the initiative to move closer instead!
"Is this all you got? It's not even enough to warm me up!" Mo Fan ran at the demon creatures as dark lightning flickered across his body.
When he reached the Lesser Lamias, they raised the bone sabers and clubs in their hands and swung them at him. They were still swinging their weapons when an enormous web of lightning swallowed them all.
