Chapter 340: The Generous Chihe Zhenren

Chihe Zhenren had been very thorough.

In addition, he gave her two top-grade spirit stones.

Song Jiulai’s eyes went wide.

Two of them!

The System said, "Damn, what kind of rich household is this?"

No wonder some Core Disciples never had to worry about money.

Song Jiulai was just a Qi Refinement Realm disciple, yet Chihe Zhenren had prepared two top-grade spirit stones for her right off the bat.

What did that even mean!

Even the current Longevity Sect would have to work hard for—a few days, just to earn enough for Song Jiulai to have the luxury of splurging two top-grade spirit stones.

’The resources of a Major Sect are on another level,’ Song Jiulai thought with a hint of envy. ’It’s a good thing I was accepted directly as a Core Disciple. A regular disciple probably doesn’t have it this good.’

And most importantly, there were also two Magic Treasures.

Each with a unique purpose.

What shocked Song Jiulai was one of the items: a bottle.

It looked like a very ordinary bottle. It was called a Spirit Bottle, said to be a Magic Treasure modeled after the Dragon Breath Spirit. Although it was only Earth Grade, its function was heaven-defying.

It contained a single drop of Spiritual Liquid. After a drop was used, it would take seven days to produce another.

And the effect of this single drop? It could allow a Cultivator to forcibly increase their cultivation by an entire Level for a short time, with absolutely no side effects!

In other words, someone in Late-stage Qi Refining could unleash the power of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

’What the hell? What is this insane item?’

With a Magic Treasure like this, who could possibly fight a disciple who owned one?

Song Jiulai was shocked by how absurdly powerful a Major Sect was. She never imagined they would have something like this.

But something so powerful naturally had its limits. This Magic Treasure could only be used by Song Jiulai up to the Golden Core Stage.

Once she reached the Mid-stage, it would become useless to her.

In other words, at most, it could allow Song Jiulai at the Golden Core Early Stage to display the strength of the Mid Golden Core Stage.

This was why, despite being so powerful, it was only ranked as Earth Grade.

Chihe Zhenren had also left some recorded instructions in the Qiankun Bag.

"This Magic Treasure will be sufficient for you until the Golden Core Stage. I only hope that you will focus on your cultivation and strengthen yourself. Do not fail my expectations."

Song Jiulai raised an eyebrow. ’Can I remotely transfer this thing to my main account?’

The System replied, "Theoretically, yes."

Song Jiulai mused, ’If I put the Spiritual Liquid in the Sect warehouse... The warehouse has a time-stasis function. I was able to transfer the Dragon Breath Spirit, so if I put this Spiritual Liquid in there, wouldn’t I be able to use it whenever I want?’

’After all, the Magic Treasure itself has a seven-day cooldown, but the warehouse doesn’t.’

The System said, "Then give it a try."

So, Song Jiulai took the drop of Spiritual Liquid out of the Spirit Bottle and immediately placed it into the Sect warehouse.

Then the System confirmed, "It works."

Song Jiulai’s eyes lit up even more. "Excellent, excellent! I can do a harvest every seven days!"

’That way, I won’t have to worry about wasting any time.’

It was a shame it could only be used up to the Golden Core Early Stage. Soon, even her main account wouldn’t be able to use it.

This made Song Jiulai feel a little disappointed.

’If I’d had this a few days ago, I could’ve killed Ma Feng even faster, and that Demon Cultivator—he might not have gotten away!’

Song Jiulai felt a fresh wave of regret.

If anyone else heard her thoughts, they’d probably want to smack her.

When Chihe Zhenren had first refined this Magic Treasure, it was already useless to him.

But for disciples below the Golden Core Stage, it was, without a doubt, a top-tier Magic Treasure, second to none.

Back then, many within the Sect had wanted to procure the Magic Treasure for their own beloved disciples, but Chihe Zhenren had stubbornly refused them all.

Now that he had accepted Song Jiulai, he had given it to her without a second thought.

The System piped up, "Have you gone stupid? When neither your main nor your alt account can use it anymore, you can harvest a drop every seven days and sell it to the players!"

A jolt went through Song Jiulai. "Holy shit, Atong, you’re a genius!"

The Magic Treasure couldn’t be given away, but she could sell the Spiritual Liquid by itself.

She definitely wouldn’t be able to use that much herself. She spent most of her time in seclusion; when would she ever need to fight someone above her level?

For the players, however, this would be an absolutely incredible item.

’I’m truly the kindest Sect Master in the world, always thinking of the players whenever a good opportunity comes up.’

The System: "..."

If Chihe Zhenren knew that Song Jiulai had turned his precious Magic Treasure into a money-making scheme, he’d probably be short of breath with fury.

Besides the Spirit Bottle, there was another item: a growth-type Attack Magical Treasure.

It was clearly one of Chihe Zhenren’s most prized possessions, which he had now left for her.

It was a Magic Treasure that resembled a chessboard.

Its name was the Heaven and Earth Demon Suppression Disc.

Song Jiulai was once again realizing just how vast the gap was between Magic Treasures crafted by a Major Sect and those available on the open market.

This Magic Treasure could be used even in the Qi Refinement Realm, but its power surpassed all imagination.

Thirteen Arrays were engraved on the surface of the board.

Each Array had a different function.

Those with weaker Spiritual Energy could activate one Array to start. The higher one’s cultivation Level, the more Arrays could be used, and the stronger their effects would be.

"This disc is tied to your Sea of Consciousness and can be used up to the Nascent Soul Stage. The more Arrays you activate, the higher the Spiritual Energy consumption. Throughout history, no one has ever been able to use all thirteen Arrays at once. Using too many can also easily injure you, so you must be extremely careful when using it."

The Arrays ranged from entrapment, to killing, to illusion—all sorts of effects were included.

These Arrays couldn’t compare to a true grand Sect Array, but they were more than enough for dealing with other Cultivators.

’This is a Heavenly Grade Treasure,’ Song Jiulai realized, her pupils constricting.

This was the first time she had ever seen a Heavenly Grade Treasure.

As expected, it was absurdly powerful.

And it far surpassed any ordinary Heavenly Grade item.

The mere fact that thirteen Arrays could be engraved and activated on a single Magic Treasure meant that the Cultivator who refined it had to be a top-tier Artifact Refining Master.

She could even transfer it to her main account. Likewise, items from her main account could also be transferred to her alt account.

A Forbidden Curse was engraved on the Magic Treasure. To use it, Song Jiulai would have to bind it with her Heart Blood.

This was Chihe Zhenren’s way of safeguarding it for her.

Even the System took a sharp breath. "I knew the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect was generous, but I never expected them to be *this* generous."

’Perhaps Chihe Zhenren is just different,’ Song Jiulai thought, recalling how he’d said his only other disciple had perished.

’When someone like him takes a disciple, he’s bound to give them the absolute best treatment.’

The System added, "If you’d had this Magic Treasure a few days ago and used it with the Spiritual Liquid, you might have even been able to kill that Mid Golden Core Stage Demon Cultivator."

After the System finished, it and Song Jiulai spoke in unison.

"What a pity!"

"What a pity!"

Song Jiulai’s eyes darted. ’Now that I’m a disciple of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, is there a way I can let it be known that the Feique Sect is under my protection?’

The System: "...You just joined a Major Sect and you’re already thinking about abusing your authority. Humans... you fall from grace so quickly."

But the Feique Sect needed to remain hidden for now. Drawing attention to them might not be a good thing.

Song Jiulai shook her head with regret.

She looked at the map of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect that Chihe Zhenren had given her and zeroed in on an important location.

The Ten Thousand Books Pavilion.

It was a core building in the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, divided into an Outer Pavilion and an Inner Hall.

Only Core Inner Sect Disciples were allowed to enter the Inner Hall, a group that now included Song Jiulai.

Inside, it housed not only precious Cultivation Techniques available on the market, but also rare, non-circulating mental methods and Cultivation Techniques.

Disciples weren’t just limited to cultivating the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect’s internal techniques; they could also go to the Ten Thousand Books Pavilion and choose for themselves.

More importantly, it also contained various chronicles of the Yunzhou Continent.

This was exactly the kind of place Song Jiulai wanted to investigate.
