Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest - Chapter 872 - Chapter 872: Chapter 872: Rewards
Chapter 872: Chapter 872: Rewards
Even though a Taoist Contract had already been signed earlier, True Person Jingyun was well aware that she owed Wang Chen a huge favor.
The reason was simple; the contract did not specify the quality level of the Magical Treasures.
True Person Jingyun had not expected that the three Magical Treasures Wang Chen tailored for her would all be of medium quality.
Medium and low quality are vastly different in value!
Furthermore, the three Magical Treasures, all crafted by Wang Chen, matched in aura. Not only would this make them easier to refine and nurture, but using them together would not cause any conflicts, and could even amplify their power.
True Person Jingyun definitely got an incredible bargain!
Although she could play ignorant and shamelessly accept everything, saving herself from owing a favor,
doing so would not only damage her reputation but also offend Wang Chen, a Artifact Refining Grandmaster with boundless prospects. That would truly be unwise.
Therefore, True Person Jingyun’s gratitude towards Wang Chen was completely genuine!
“Dao friend, you flatter me.”
Wang Chen said with a smile as he waved his hand, “We had a fair trade, no one owes anyone anything.”
True Person Jingyun accepted the favor, and Wang Chen was generous, leading to an even better relationship between them.
Thus, Wang Chen entrusted True Person Jingyun to procure a batch of materials for him to refine Spiritual Artifacts.
As for Magical Treasures, Wang Chen didn’t want to refine any for the time being, as it was very time-consuming and distracted from his Cultivation.
Spiritual Artifacts were different; Wang Chen could just leave them to the Ding, simply giving the little fellow a bit of incentive.
He asked True Person Jingyun for help in procuring and also offered a three percent profit for her to handle the sales.
True Person Jingyun readily agreed.
This Golden Core Female Cultivator even wanted to gift Wang Chen a shop in Lingyou City, but Wang Chen politely declined.
It was really unnecessary.
After returning to Nameless Valley, Wang Chen threw all the Weapon Refining Materials to the Ding and allowed it to do as it pleased, while he delved wholeheartedly into his Cultivation.
After ascending to the Golden Core Realm, Wang Chen’s main Cultivation Technique remained the Innate Five Elements Skill. He spent some time completing the remaining experience points and then switched to a Golden Core tier Cultivation Technique.
The Innate Five Elements Skill Wang Chen practiced included both the Purple Mansion and Golden Core tiers; he had already achieved Perfection at the Purple Mansion tier, but had not truly entered the Golden Core tier.
Also, the several Golden Core tier Spells he possessed were likewise unmastered!
The difficulty of cultivating Golden Core tier Spells was far greater than that of the Purple Mansion tier, and naturally, their power was incomparable.
Due to the high difficulty, along with consolidating his realm after achieving Core Formation, Wang Chen had spent most of his time and energy on secondary practices, leading to the current awkward situation.
Wang Chen, of course, could not continue such trivial pursuits!
After explaining things to Su Ziling, he began a long period of seclusion.
Flowers bloomed and withered, time swiftly passed, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
In the quiet chamber of the Underwater Cave Abode, sitting on a cushion, Wang Chen silently opened his eyes.
His dark eyes were unfathomably deep, as if containing the secrets of the universe!
In the next moment, the long hair that hung down to his feet detached from the scalp and fell to the ground, soon vanishing into nothingness.
As all the hair fell out, Wang Chen’s skin radiated a crystalline multicolored glow, and his scalp quickly sprouted thick black hair that fell evenly to his shoulders.
Unperturbed by these strange occurrences on his body, Wang Chen’s gaze turned towards the sealed door.
It’s been a year!
He sighed lightly in his heart; his new hair automatically curled up into a neat Taoist bun.
Wang Chen summoned the Cultivation Panel.
The main Cultivation Technique listed showed significant changes.
[Main: Innate Five Elements Skill · Golden Core (Level 1): 125/1000]
This was the result of Wang Chen’s year of Cultivation.
His Golden Core tier Innate Five Elements Skill was not only fully entered, but he had also accumulated over a hundred experience points.
He had cultivated step by step.
Because he had learned from past mistakes, Wang Chen did not forcefully enhance his ability by consuming Human Virtue Points.
Steady progress was the true path!
With a flick of his sleeve, the stone door to the cultivation chamber boomed open.
“Master!”
Su Ziling rushed over at the sound and joyously flung herself into Wang Chen’s embrace.
A year was neither long nor short, but having not seen Wang Chen for three hundred and sixty-five days, how could she not miss him?
Wang Chen habitually stroked Su Ziling’s long hair and smiled as he asked, “You haven’t been slacking off this year, have you?”
Indeed, with Wang Chen’s discerning eyes, how could he not see that Su Ziling’s cultivation level had already advanced to the second tier of Purple Mansion?
Even though Wang Chen occupied the only cultivation chamber, the spiritual energy in the Underwater Cave Abode was immensely abundant, sufficient to meet the cultivation needs of a Purple Mansion cultivator regardless of location.
Clearly, Su Ziling had been diligent!
Moreover, Wang Chen noticed that over the year, she had matured significantly and was no longer the green young girl.
Her demeanor had become even more captivating!
“I’ve reached the second tier of Purple Mansion!”
Within Wang Chen’s embrace, Su Ziling proudly declared, “Give me another half a year, and I will definitely break through to the third tier!”
“Impressive.”
Wang Chen smiled and teased her nose, “Do you want a reward?”
Su Ziling shyly hesitated before saying, “I, I want to go to Lingyou Immortal City to have a look and buy some things.”
Although they had bought a substantial amount of supplies when they left Thousand Star Immortal City, enough to last for several years or even decades of life and cultivation,
Still deep in contemplation through tranquility, Su Ziling, who hadn’t cultivated for decades or centuries, couldn’t endure the long periods of solitude and loneliness and inevitably retained some youthful whims.
“Alright.”
Wang Chen readily agreed.
He, too, needed to make a trip to Lingyou City.
But before leaving, Wang Chen first went to the Refinement Room and plucked the small Ding out from the Creation Cauldron.
“Master, Ding has completed the task long ago!”
Ding hastily summoned the freshly refined spiritual artifacts from the cauldron and respectfully presented them before Wang Chen.
Dozens of spiritual artifacts of various styles and types hovered in mid-air, radiating dazzling spiritual light, a delight to the eyes!
With a glance, Wang Chen noticed that these spiritual artifacts were mostly of the highest quality.
Only a few were of superior quality.
“Well done!”
Wang Chen swept all the spiritual artifacts into his sleeve and tossed five superior-grade Spirit Stones to Ding, “For your reward.”
This fellow had indeed given his best effort, and it was naturally commendable; thus, he deserved a reward.
Wang Chen’s stash of Spirit Stones wasn’t large, and superior ones were even scarcer, which was quite a sacrifice for him.
“Thank you for the reward, Master!”
Ding opened its arms to embrace the Spirit Stones and contentedly scurried back inside the Treasured Cauldron.
Wang Chen checked the inside of the Creation Cauldron for any issues, finding none, he stored it away once again.
He called Su Ziling over and left the Underwater Cave Abode with her.
After sealing the Cave Mansion Array, Wang Chen summoned his Golden Core Flying Warship, taking Su Ziling with him as they flew toward Lingyou City.
