Chapter 2394: Chapter 2362: Elder Chu’s ’Teachings

"Treasure vault?"

When Li Chen heard this word, he couldn’t help but feel his heart skip a beat.

Li Chen’s need for treasure isn’t actually high, but who would dislike having more good things?

Moreover, at present, Li Chen is pretty much in the state of having nothing to fight with, without any killer move to show.

Because, at Red Moon’s current level, even if Red Moon wholeheartedly cooperates with Li Chen to unleash a killer move, it probably wouldn’t be as straightforward as Red Moon acting alone.

Of course, in terms of wealth, Li Chen isn’t lacking much, after all, with the treasures collected from the Yu Clan in the Seven Realms Tome, Li Chen can trade for whatever he needs with ease.

But, living off what you have is not a solution, and if he takes out too many Yu Clan treasures, it might attract attention.

Back on the Purple Fir Continent, he managed to bluff many Palm Realm powerhouses with his Divine Soul, but if time stretches on, it’s easy for the truth to come out.

And now, in this Nine Heavens Continent, which is evidently ranked higher and has a lot more Palm Realm powerhouses compared to Purple Fir Continent.

Li Chen understood the principle of not showing off wealth since he was a teenager just stepping out of Panlong Village, and it’s even more applicable now.

If those old men really start targeting him, Li Chen doesn’t believe he can rely solely on Red Moon to protect himself.

Not even mentioning being besieged, if a sole Dao Saint insists on fighting him, they would definitely kowtow in the end.

Li Chen is exceedingly clear about this point.

This makes it necessary for Li Chen to acquire some ’cleanly sourced’ treasures to fill his pockets.

And, it seems the Seven Realms Tome mentioned discovering something good?

If the Seven Realms Tome considers something to be good, Li Chen dares say it won’t be ordinary.

"Yes, indeed, it is the treasure vault of our Heavenly Profound Sect, simply named after our sect as the ’Heavenly Profound Treasury’." Elder Chu said proudly.

Indeed, he could certainly be proud.

After all, in the entire Nine Heavens Continent, if talking about power, perhaps the Heavenly Profound Sect isn’t the strongest. But in terms of heritage, the Heavenly Profound Sect is undoubtedly the sect with the most long-standing inheritance.

It seems that since the Nine Heavens Continent’s inception, the Heavenly Profound Sect has been around.

"Then please, Elder Chu, lead the way." Li Chen said with a courteous smile, but when speaking, there wasn’t a hint of courtesy.

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Elder Chu’s face stiffened.

If you want treasures, at least be polite a bit, right?

Even if not, at least make it look like it, okay?

Are you really in that much of a hurry?

Elder Chu’s face twitched a few times, but eventually, with a somewhat hidden anger, he stiffly nodded and said slowly, "Fine! I’ll lead you there."

Though inwardly, he couldn’t help but curse ’country bumpkin’ a few times.

Many forces in Nine Heavens Continent started from ascenders and later became powerful entities.

So on the Nine Heavens Continent, there isn’t much disdain for ascenders, but Heavenly Profound Sect being a traditional powerhouse, and the sect from Nine Heavens Continent’s lineage, inevitably carries some pride.

That pride is directed outward, a superiority born from the sect’s deep heritage.

Even for someone like Li Chen, an ascender with very good luck, it’s not that they lack the gentility of the Heavenly Profound Sect’s demeanor, but deep down, a bit of disdain can’t be avoided.

Of course, Li Chen doesn’t mind this so-called disdain at all.

Face?

In this world, who really cares about face?

Just like many times in the past, a lot of enemies had far superior cultivation than Li Chen, yet shamelessly, whether due to greed for his belongings or fear of his presence, they tried everything to eliminate him.

If back then, he cared about face and tried to discuss fairness and morality with them.

The end result would only be being devoured without a trace.

"Red Dust, do you know what kind of treasures you want? Made up your mind?" Elder Chu asked calmly.

If previous warmth was due to thinking Li Chen lucky, and could possibly achieve something remarkable with cultivation from major forces.

But now, Li Chen’s evaluation in Elder Chu’s heart evidently plummeted.

Even the phrase ’Dao friend’ was omitted.

"Haven’t decided yet." Li Chen said with a naive smile: "But treasures, they don’t have to be the best, surely the most suitable."

Upon hearing this, Elder Chu couldn’t help but take another look at Li Chen.

Being able to say something like this proves this guy indeed has some caliber, no wonder he can tear space to enter Nine Heavens Continent.

But seeing that ’naive’ smile still on Li Chen’s face, with prejudice already formed, Elder Chu once again labeled Li Chen as ’foolish’.

"By the way, what about you, Red... Red-robed Brother, any thoughts?"

Elder Chu gave Red Moon a puzzled glance, unsure why he always felt he easily overlooked this red-robed youth’s presence.

Clearly, the bright red attire was so noticeable, even a bit dazzling, yet standing there, he was remarkably easy to overlook.

Regarding Elder Chu’s question, Red Moon just smiled slightly: "Having is good, but doing without is fine. External things are never as good as inner strength."

Well said, external things are never as good as inner strength! ℴ

Elder Chu’s eyes lit up, wondering how he missed such a talent.

Clearly, this youth seems to have cultivated a highly advanced concealment method, which even he couldn’t discern.

Moreover, being able to say such things, undoubtedly, this is a real genius!

Previously, he was blind enough to go warm towards that white-haired one...

"Little brother, what you said is correct, yet incorrect." Elder Chu smiled enigmatically: "Treasures are indeed part of one’s strength. Although as you said, our cultivators shouldn’t excessively rely on external things, some treasures assist cultivators in accelerating cultivation speed, reducing cultivation time, even directly enhancing combat power!"

"Such treasures, I think, would best suit little brother you." Elder Chu smiled.

Red Moon nodded without saying more.

Li Chen couldn’t help but feel a bit toothached at the side.

"Elder Chu, is it still far?" Li Chen asked.

"Almost there." Elder Chu frowned, his evaluation of Li Chen dropped further, but he still answered indifferently.

This time, it wasn’t Li Chen being eager for treasures.

But rather, this scene was truly giving him a headache.

Have you seen a Soul Realm lecturing a Palm Realm about cultivation, discussing grand principles, with a ’been there, done that’ expression?

Li Chen himself was almost getting embarrassed just watching, let alone Red Moon.

He believes, had this been elsewhere, Red Moon would’ve long since kicked this pretentious old man flying.

That... can probably be seen from the faintly throbbing veins on Red Moon’s forehead.
