Chapter 1410 Sacred Bracelet
1410 Sacred Bracelet
After Xi Meili placed her techniques on the front desk, the others quickly followed. Meixiu had two techniques, Chu Liuxiang had three, Li Jinxi had three, and Lan Yingying had two. In total, 26 Divine-rank techniques formed a small mountain in front of the middle-aged man, who wore a weird expression on his face.
While it was fully within Yuan's privilege as a General to purchase so many Divine-rank techniques, it still felt weird to the middle-aged man, especially since he wasn't buying it for himself. Moreover, they were still within the Fourth Heaven, where Divine-rank techniques are precious.
If Yuan wanted to abuse his privileges by selling these Divine-
rank techniques as though they were candy, he would easily make a fortune. However, it would cause an uproar within the Fourth Heaven and catastrophic damages to the economy. If that were to happen, the higher-ups would not sit still, as such actions would hurt their faction's reputation and karma.
After acquiring the techniques, they left the Myriad of Techniques and went to the nearest hotel, where they talked about their plans.
"I will be heading to the Vanishing Valley now. Unfortunately, I cannot bring any of you with me since I cannot guarantee your safety there—except Xiao Hua and Lan Yingying who can reside safely within my Dantian." Yuan said to them.
"Normally, I would complain and follow you even if you refuse, but I have a lot of new techniques to learn, so I don't mind staying behind." Xi Meili said as she was already holding onto one of these techniques with an eager look on her face.
"I was already planning on staying behind to cultivate since we're still nowhere near capable enough." Chu Liuxiang said.
"Me too," Meixiu said.
"Are there any locations where we can train without any concerns about our surroundings?" Li Jinxi asked.
"I'm not sure, but…" Yuan lifted his head to look at the ceiling and called out, "Dong Ye, are you here?"
"..."
There was no response.
"I guess it'll take him a little longer to come to the Fourth Heaven."
Unlike Yuan and the others, Dong Ye did not have the luxury of traveling between the Nine Heavens using the Stairway to Heaven because of his identity.
"I think the Cultivators' Haven may have something like that." Meixiu suddenly said.
"The usual spot, huh? Let's check it out." Chu Liuxiang nodded.
They left the hotel shortly after and made their way to the Cultivators' Haven.
"Of course, we have training rooms specifically for those who wish to practice their techniques without worry." The receptionist said after being inquired by them.
She led them to the basement, where a hallway of rooms was located.
"These rooms are reinforced with tier 5 formations that can withstand attacks from even a Spirit Sovereign without any problems." The receptionist gave them a brief tour of one of these rooms.
The interior was quite spacious with about 30 meters in width, 40 meters in length, and about 20 meters in height. There was even a bathroom available.
Since he wasn't sure how long it would take him to return, Yuan handed the others enough money to use these rooms for half a year without any breaks. Naturally, he didn't actually think he would need that long. It was more of a precaution.
Before leaving, Yuan retrieved the Abyss Piercer from his spatial ring and offered it Meixiu.
"I want you to have this."
"T-this is… I don't even have the power to wield this bow…" Meixiu stared at the beautiful black bow in her grasp with a dumbfounded look on her face.
"I am well aware, but you'll eventually be able to wield it." Yuan smiled, and he continued, "It even looks similar to my Starry Abyss. I think they were made with the same materials."
Yuan showed his Starry Abyss, and sure enough, the blade looked like it was made with Abyss Crystal, the very same material used for the Abyss Piercer.
"Thank you… I will treasure it." Meixiu said with a warm smile on her face.
Before he left her training room, Meixiu gave him a passionate kiss on the lips that lasted for several seconds.
Yuan visited Lan Yingying last. Although she could've followed him, she decided to stay behind to train as well. While she was stronger than Li Jinxi and the others from Earth, she still fell behind Xiao Hua and Xiao Hua.
"Here, I want you to have this." Yuan handed the other treasure he acquired from the Celestial Overlords' treasury to her.
"A bracelet…?" Lan Yingying accepted the silver bracelet with a curious expression on her face.
The moment she touched the bracelet, she sensed a connection with it, almost as though they were fated to be together.
[Sacred Bracelet]
[Grade: Ancient]
[Quality: Peak]
[Description: A beautiful bracelet forged in Sacred Fire. Increases the wearer's efficiency and power by 500% when using fire-related techniques. Its effects will double when using Sacred Fire.]
When Yuan saw this bracelet, he instantly thought of Lan Yingying, who could wield Sacred Fire.
"This bracelet will improve your Sacred Fire's efficiency and power," Yuan explained its effects to her.
"It boosts the power of my Sacred Fire? No wonder why the Sacred Fire in my body acted up with excitement when I touched it…" Lan Yingying swallowed nervously as she stared at the glistening silver bracelet in her grasp.
"I-I don't know how to thank you…" she said with a troubled look on her face.
"You don't need to repay me for it, really."
"Even if you say that, this treasure is too—"
Yuan suddenly placed his palm on her head and started aggressively rubbing it, causing her hair to fly everywhere.
His random action left Lan Yingying speechless.
Yuan chuckled at her appearance and said, "Don't even think about it."
Lan Yingying slowly nodded her head, her face flushed with redness.
After leaving Lan Yingying's room, Yuan left the Cultivators' Haven with Xiao Hua by his side.
"Are you ready?" he asked her.
"Un!" she nodded with a confident look on her face.
"Then let's head to the Vanishing Valley."
