The Great Wild God - Chapter 273
Chapter 273 Congratulatory Gift
The Divine Night Sect’s treasury was rich. Apart from tens of thousands of years of inheritance and accumulation, most of the treasures were normally handed over by the Zhu Feng Weapon Refining Academy. There were more than a hundred thousand treasury caves and magical artifacts over a thousand feet deep. However, most of the magical artifacts were more suitable for disciples who cultivated the Divine Night Sect’s Dao Arts.
Chen Xun cultivated the Kui Long Yang Refining Technique. Even if he reached the Dharma Aspect Realm, he might not be any weaker than the Divine Night Sect’s secret preaching technique. Before he encountered a bottleneck, he naturally did not need to change his cultivation technique.
After wandering around for a long time, apart from exchanging for a dozen high-grade blank swords, Chen Xun couldn’t see any magical artifacts that he especially liked. He thought to himself, no wonder the Magical Artifact Hall in Wan Song Valley’s business was so prosperous. In the end, the sect’s treasury was unable to meet the needs of the hundreds of thousands of disciples.
The forging materials were extremely abundant, and the names were also abnormally numerous. There were only a few large stacks of books recorded, causing Chen Xun to be dazzled.
The disciples who traveled around the world and cultivated were the ones who gained the most from all sorts of pill refining and artifact forging materials.
Pills needed to be refined in time to ensure that their medicinal properties were not lost. As for artifact forging, it was mostly materials that could withstand storage, such as metal, iron, jade, and wood. Moreover, there weren’t many disciples in the sect who were skilled in forging, and after accumulating over the years, they were exceptionally large.
Scarlet Essence Copper, Scarlet Crow Gold, and other refining materials were all cast into a square ingot. Each ingot weighed hundreds of thousands of kilograms, or millions of kilograms. Even the rare Star Meteorites in Cloud Continent had dozens of pieces, piled up in the corners of the treasury.
If it weren’t for Chen Chisong staring at him, and the restrictions set in the cave might not even be able to withstand Daoist Adept Dharma Form, Chen Xun really wanted to rob him.
If Chen Xun wanted to attempt to refine the Profound Bomb Formation, what he lacked the most was the materials needed to refine it.
He had been stuffed with more than a dozen storage magic tools. This time, he had no choice but to exchange for ten storage bags and fill them with artifact forging materials. Only then did he hesitate with Chen Chisong.
“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Have you lost your way inside?”
Chen Xun and Chen Chisong had just walked out when Chang Xi, who had been waiting outside the cave for a long time, wished to grab Chen Xun’s neck.
The grotto was the most important treasury of the Divine Night Sect. No matter how reckless Chang Xi was, she did not dare to forcefully barge into the grotto beneath the Purple Night Peak, which looked extremely inconspicuous from the outside.
Chen Xun saw Zong Ya, Gu Jianfeng, Zuoqiu, Qingxuan, Lei Wanhe, and the others following Chang Xi and Zhao Chen’en outside the cave and asked, “How long have you been waiting here?”
“Junior apprentice-brother Chen joined the sect master today. It’s not convenient for us to talk nonsense in the Crimson Sun Palace, but we should celebrate. I thought that you would go to the Myriad Pine Valley first after dealing with the trivial matters here. Chang Xi was impatient at the Myriad Pine Valley, so she dragged us here to stop you.” Zhao Cheng’en smiled.
Chen Xun didn’t waste too much time in the cave where the magical artifacts were stored, but he and Chen Chisong had spent quite a bit of time searching for the materials to refine the Profound Bomb Formation.
Zong Ya and the others were extremely worried on the mooring platform, and they were also restless when they returned to the Myriad Pine Valley.
They hadn’t expected Chang Xi, Zhao Cheng’en, and the others to rush over and say that Chen Xun had entered the Crimson Sun Palace and actually called the headmaster to accept him as their disciple. They had officially become the direct disciples of the Divine Night Sect. Naturally, they were overjoyed. Now that they saw Chen Xun, they were so happy that they didn’t know what to say.
“Have you chosen your cave yet?” Chang Xi asked.
“A small ridge to the west of Cuiwei Peak is also close to Senior Brother Zhao’s Myriad Stream Valley,” Chen Xun said. “I was just about to trouble Senior Crimson Pine to take the sect’s jade plate to unseal that spirit vein.”
“Why are you an old monster running errands for Chen Xun?” Chang Xi looked at Chen Chisong doubtfully.
“Compared to you, how can I be considered a monster again?” Chen Chisong laughed.
Chen Xun saw Chang Xi and Zhao Cheng’en knew Chen Chi Song’s background, so he asked Zong Ya, Gu Jian Feng, Zuo Qiu, and Qing Xuan to come over to salute Chen Chi Song. Seeing that Jiang Bing Yun did not follow him, he asked Zuo Qiu before he found out that Jiang Bing Yun was staying in Wan Pong Valley.
Jiang Bingyun was not a Divine Night Sect disciple, so he could not barge into the sect.
Chang Xi naturally wouldn’t let Chen Xun change the topic so easily. She grabbed him and asked, “You killed the snake demon and investigated the demonic tracks. This time, you joined the sect leader’s sect. Hu Taiyan must have secretly poured a lot of water for you when he counted as a disciple’s merits. How much benefit did you get?”
Chen Xun knew that there was nothing good about Chang Xi being so eager to guard the cave. He bitterly smiled and said,
“Apart from exchanging a few blank swords, there are only a few bags of forging materials.”
“You know how much I’ve lost in order to kill that snake demon.” Chang Xi looked into Chen Xun’s eyes with ill intentions.
“Then isn’t this Profound Sun True Cultivator enough to match the Eight Desolate Flag?” Chen Xun asked.
“Xia Xiangyi will come back and play tricks on me. The old fellow told me to borrow it for three years. After that, I need to return the Eight Desolate Flag to the Yuanwu Marquis Manor. What can I do?” Chang Xi said angrily.
The Yuanwu Marquis’ Manor was closely related to Daoist Gu Yang, and he directly asked for the Eight Desolate Flag from Chang Xi through Daoist Gu Yang. No matter how reckless Chang Xi was, there was nothing she could do.
Chen Xun asked, “Mansion of Marquis Martial won’t take the Eight Desolate Flag back for nothing, right?”
“They say it’s a redemption, but who cares about the magical artifacts of the Marquis Yuan Manor?” Chang Xi said unsincerely. If it weren’t rare, he wouldn’t have forcefully snatched the exquisite jade carriage, Thunderbolt Wings, and other magical artifacts from the Marquis Yuan Manor back then.
The Demonic Snake had used the Eight Desolate Flag to suppress the Heavenly Flames in its body. Chen Xun’s mind stirred as he said, “I can exchange my merits for another top-grade Earth-ranked magical artifact from the sect. If the Great Master needs it, just take it. Can the Eight Desolate Flag lend me three years?”
“In three years, what have you developed?” Chang Xi asked in confusion.
Although Chen Xun was skilled in refining, she would not believe that Chen Xun had the ability to crack the Eight Desolate Flag’s refining method within three years.
If he could replicate a Heaven Ranked magical artifact so easily, the Divine Night Sect would suppress the various sects of the Dragon Gate and become the leader of the seven sects, unifying the Cloud Continent would be within reach.
Chen Xun naturally didn’t expect him to be able to imitate the Eight Desolate Flag at this moment. The secret technique of refining Heavenly Flames by demonic snakes was not perfect, and at the same time, he needed to devour a large amount of living beings’ flesh and blood. This secret technique was simply not something Chen Xun could secretly cultivate.
Chen Xun thought to himself, if he wanted to further change the secret method of refining Heavenly Flames, it was very likely that he would land on this Eight Desolate Flag. No matter if it was useful or not, he would have to borrow it to study it whenever he had the chance.
The matter of refining the Heavenly Flame couldn’t be casually mentioned. Chen Xun spread out his hands and said, “Whether I’m useful or not, I can’t give an Earth-ranked magical artifact to the head master for nothing, right?”
“Alright then, don’t lose the Eight Desolate Flag. Just make it impossible for me to explain.” Chang Xi directly took out the Eight Desolate Flag and gave it to Chen Xun. She took Chen Xun’s disciple jade token and directly grabbed Chen Chisong and went into the grotto to choose a magical artifact.
*********************
After Chang Xi picked out a suitable magical artifact from the grotto, Zhao Cheng’en took out a small boat from his bag of holding. When he saw the wind, it grew and eventually turned into a flying boat that was 60 feet long.
Everyone boarded the flying ship and arrived at the cave three hundred miles away in an incense stick of time.
The spirit veins here were sealed by secret techniques. It was a 300-meter-long lonely ridge that stretched for seven to eight kilometers from east to west, covering the dense lush forest. A 70 to 80-meter-wide stone stream flowed down and converged into the Cuiwei River in front of the mountain.
This was Chen Xun’s cave residence, the Qingwu Ridge, in the Divine Night Sect in the future.
Originally, Chen Xun wanted to call him Qingwu Peak, but after seeing the actual landscape, he felt that it was more appropriate to call him Qingwu Mountain. He directly carved the word “Qingwu” into the stone cliff of the Qingwu Ridge with his sword qi to show that he had officially opened a cave here today.
The Cuiwei River rose against the water. Sixty to seventy kilometers away was Chang Xi’s cave, Cuiwei Lake, while Zhao Cheng’en’s cave was a hundred kilometers north.
To a cultivator, this distance was only an instant’s walk.
After finding the spirit vein seal, Chen Chisong unsealed it with a jade disc, and a wave of azure spiritual energy flowed out from a huge stone.
Without a sealing method, the Spiritual Qi emanating out was unrestrained. It mixed into the clouds and clouds in the horizon, refracting magnificent colors. Soon, water vapor gathered and formed a mist above Qingwu Ridge. It was called Qingwu Ridge. It truly looked like the exotic peak of the Xiuling Mountain of the Immortal Clan.
“Junior apprentice-brother Chen has just opened his cave. I don’t have anything good to give you. The road in the mountains is bumpy. This Ye Feizhou can help you with your feet. Even if it’s a gift from me,” said Junior apprentice-brother Chen. Zhao Cheng’en handed Yu Jue, who controlled the flying ship, to Chen Xun.
“Isn’t this too precious?” Chen Xun was a little embarrassed to receive such a precious gift from Zhao Cheng’en.
Chen Xun also saw this type of flying ship in the grotto. He hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he didn’t make up his mind to change it.
As long as Chen Xun didn’t randomly intrude into other people’s caves, he could fly freely in the air, but Zong Ya, Gu Jianfeng, and other outer sect disciples were strictly restricted.
There were more than a thousand miles of mountain paths from the Myriad Pine Valley on his side, and without flying magical artifacts such as flying boats, it would be extremely inconvenient for him to hurry and transport large quantities of supplies.
Yiye Flying Boat, engraved with restriction formations such as floating air and defense, was priceless. Unusual magical artifacts could be compared to one another. The lowest-grade flying boat magical artifacts were comparable to an Intermediate Earth-grade magical artifact, but they were extremely limited.
Apart from large airships like the Yu Xiao Floating Boat, which could fly continuously for six days and six nights with enough spiritual energy, a small airship could fly continuously for one day and reach the top of the sky.
Unless it was modified and combined with the Spirit Gathering Restriction, the flying ship would be severely restricted after leaving the mountain gate with abundant Spiritual Qi.
However, the airship was floating in the air, and the defensive restrictions were extremely complicated. Chen Xun thought that it wouldn’t be possible to deduce the Spirit Gathering restrictions in a short period of time, so he hesitated for a long time, and didn’t exchange the cave treasury for a flying ship in the end.
Chang Xi was quick-witted and said, “It’s not expensive. It’s not expensive. You can refine the Spirit Gathering Restriction that matches the flying ship some other day. Just give me and Zhao Cheng’en a set.”
Chen Xun smiled bitterly and said, “This is far from something I can accomplish in three to five years.”
“We can all wait. All you need to do is remember to owe us this favor.” Chang Xi said.
“What kind of favor do I owe you?” Chen Xun asked, “What congratulatory gift did you send me?”
‘”Zhao Cheng’en is too embarrassed to say anything. Naturally, I did my best when I said it out loud,” Chang Xi said. “I’m even poorer than you right now. Do you have the nerve to argue with me about this? Also, I’ve taken care of the Wan Song Valley for you. In the future, Zong Ya and the others can directly cultivate on your side. You owe me credit, right?”
Chen Xun thought to himself that he was currently the direct disciple of the sect leader. Wouldn’t it be as easy as turning his palm to transfer Zong Ya and the others to Qingwu Ridge? However, if Chang Xi insisted on counting this as her credit, Chen Xun could only bravely accept it.
