138: Xiao Chen's big gift

...On the other side, after a day of long-distance travel, Xiao Chen and Bai Su returned to the Lei Clan. At this time, the Lei Clan Members were still arguing incessantly because of Xiao Chen's matters.

Xiao Chen was too lazy to bother with them.

He returned to his Immortal Cave.

Xiao Chen began to take stock of his gains from these past few days. Looking at the storage spaces covering the floor, he condensed power in his palm and struck downward.

The qiankun rings and Storage Pouches all shattered, scattering Spirit Stones, Medicinal Pills, Spiritual Plants, Magical Artifacts, Cultivation Techniques, robes, and more across the floor.

“Hahaha... I'm rich!”

This could be considered Xiao Chen's greatest harvest ever. Having wiped out two major clans, he hadn't even let go of the Storage Pouches of those in the Qi Refining Stage.

Xiao Chen first used a cosmic bag to collect all the Spirit Stones. He had plundered a full 15 million Spirit Stones from the two great families.

There were also thousands of pill bottles on the ground, though most contained low-tier pills like qi recovery pills and qi gathering pills.

Xiao Chen simply used a qiankun ring to store them all. Although their grade was relatively low, exchanging them for Spirit Stones in the future would still yield a massive sum.

“System, summon the system smelting furnace.”

As soon as he spoke, a massive gold-plated furnace appeared before his eyes. The lid slowly opened, and Xiao Chen gave a large wave of his hand.

The Magical Artifacts on the ground, numbering in the thousands and ranging from rank one to rank three, all flew into the furnace.

Afterward, Xiao Chen took out all the Magical Artifacts stored in his qiankun rings, including a Nascent Soul-level artifact, the Luo Tian Compass.

Xiao Chen clicked his tongue inwardly; the internal space of this furnace was actually so vast.

Finally, the zhu tian sword also flew inside.

In just five minutes, the refinement was complete.

The zhu tian sword flew out of the furnace. Its pitch-black blade still flickered with a cold light, and its length had increased by 5 centimeters.

【Ding! System Notification: The zhu tian sword's growth value has reached the Host's controllable limit. Until your cultivation level increases, it cannot devour more Magical Artifacts.】

Holy crap!

This is great!

Xiao Chen condensed power in his palm and gripped the zhu tian sword. Besides the icy sensation, there was also a heavy, solid feeling to it.

As for the remaining low-tier Cultivation Techniques, Xiao Chen gave them a cursory glance and found nothing worth taking, so he put them in a qiankun ring for now.

There were hundreds of thousands of Spiritual Plants. Most were rank one and rank two, with only a few hundred rank three Spiritual Plants.

Among these Spiritual Plants, Xiao Chen found Qin Wanli's purple void jade dew vine. After observing it for a moment, he carefully put it away.

As for the other Spiritual Plants, Xiao Chen used a qiankun ring to categorize and store them all, planning to refine them in bulk when he had time.

Regarding the useless items like clothes, he simply burned them. This time truly was a massive harvest.

However, the greatest harvest should be that fragment of the void map. Judging by the System's tone, this Void Realm secret treasure should be extremely significant.

Just then, there was a knock on the door of the Immortal Cave.

Xiao Chen got up to open the door and saw Liu Ruyan standing quietly outside in a pink palace-style dress.

“Greetings, Madam Lei.”

“No need for such formalities.” Liu Ruyan waved her hand and said with a beaming smile, “Everyone is waiting for you at the Clan Grand Hall.”

“Alright.”

Thus, Liu Ruyan led Xiao Chen and quickly flew toward the Clan Grand Hall. She kept sizing him up along the way, seemingly sensing that his aura had strengthened again.

The two entered the hall, which was as lively as ever. The four Golden Core Elders, twenty-four Foundation Establishment guards, and the core younger generation of the clan were all present.

“Little friend Xiao Chen, your cultivation...” Clan Leader was the first to cup his hands toward Xiao Chen, noticing at a glance that Xiao Chen's cultivation had actually surged by three levels in just a few days.

The other Golden Core Elders were also filled with shock, while the Foundation Establishment Stage guards no longer knew what to say.

“Hehe... it was just luck. Clan Leader Lei, I wonder what you all have decided?”

“Before answering your question, we would like to see what the three great gifts you mentioned are.”

“Fine.”

Xiao Chen sighed inwardly. They were a bunch of old foxes! They wouldn't release the hawk until they saw the rabbit!

He then looked around at everyone and said slowly:

“The first great gift is, naturally, the purple void jade dew vine.”

After saying that, with a thought from Xiao Chen, a vine shimmering with purple radiance appeared in his palm. Its brilliant glow made everyone marvel inwardly.

“This... it's actually much older than Qin Wanli's!” Lei Zhentian cried out in surprise. Judging by the size of its stem, it was at least a thousand years old.

Xiao Chen continued, “With this purple void jade dew vine, I can refine a supreme grade yin-yang five elements pill. Clan Leader Lei will be able to recover very quickly.”

“Brother...”

Lei Qianqian looked at Xiao Chen, her beautiful eyes shimmering with tears. It turned out that when he said he had a way, he really did have a way.

Xiao Chen looked down at her. Her pretty little face was covered in happy tear tracks, and he reached out to gently wipe them away.

Clan Leader was even more moved to tears, choking up several times. Hearing this Genius Alchemist say those words now, the excitement in his heart was beyond words.

As someone who had been tortured by demonic poison for hundreds of years, his life was nearing its end. He understood all too well that for him, this was no different from Rebirth.

“Clan Leader, that's wonderful!” Lei Zhentian praised sincerely, and the other Lei Clan Members followed suit.

At this moment, Lei Yunxiao wanted to speak but remained silent. He had no reason to refuse this great gift, as it was something that could 100% save his biological father.

Almost everyone was incredibly excited, except for Lei Zhenshan who stood in the crowd, his gaze constantly shifting away.

Xiao Chen glanced at him, pretending not to notice, and continued:

“Since I am an Alchemist, the second great gift is naturally Medicinal Pills!”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present looked eager, their burning gazes focusing on Xiao Chen.

With a wave of his hand, ten pill bottles flew out from his sleeve, floating before everyone's eyes.

“Here are fifty supreme grade foundation establishment pills, twenty supreme grade boundary breaking pills, and three top-grade nascent soul condensing elixirs!”

“As long as your cultivation reaches Qi Refining Stage Perfection, Foundation Establishment Stage Perfection, or Golden Core Stage Perfection respectively, these three types of pills can help the Lei Clan produce three Nascent Soul Cultivators, twenty Golden Core Cultivators, and fifty Foundation Establishment Cultivators!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the Lei Clan Members were completely petrified. Their mouths were wide open as they stared at the pill bottles before them with obsessed expressions.

“This...”

Clan Leader had only uttered one word before he didn't know how to continue.

Forget top-grade nascent soul condensing elixirs, they hadn't even heard of supreme grade boundary breaking pills before.

What could be traded on the market were basically just ordinary foundation establishment pills and boundary breaking pills.

And average quality nascent soul condensing pills only appeared occasionally at some high-end auctions.

After all, once one advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, they basically joined the upper echelons of the Cangxuan Continent.

Few high-level Alchemists would put something like a nascent soul condensing pill, which broke the rules of progression, up for sale.
