Chapter 481: Chapter 217: Obtaining Golden Augment
"He’s back from secluded cultivation on the Ten Thousand Immortals Archipelago and was getting ready to head to the outside world to earn some cultivation resources."
"After a bit of persuasion from yours truly, he’s agreed to go with us to the Outer Sea. Now we won’t have to worry about Sea Demons along the way."
Upon hearing this, the other two were visibly delighted.
Cao Mingjie sat up straight and asked, "Eldest Brother, if I recall correctly, didn’t Mr. Qiu break through to the Late-stage Golden Core fifty years ago?"
"After being in seclusion for so long, I imagine he’s reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core realm by now."
Yu Zhenyang smiled and nodded repeatedly. "That’s right. He most certainly has."
"Reaching the Great Perfection of the Golden Core before turning three hundred... that speed puts him at the very top, even across the entire Nanlao Sea."
"The way I see it, he has a great chance of becoming a Nascent Soul True Monarch in the future."
Cao Mingjie immediately laughed. "That’s definitely good news. It’s a long journey to the Relic—I estimate it’ll take forty days to get there."
"I’m the most junior, so I’m not afraid to look foolish. I’ll take the opportunity to ask Mr. Qiu for some guidance."
"I might even get some pointers. At the very least, he’ll recognize me."
...
They were in high spirits, clearly thinking very highly of this Late-stage Golden Core cultivator who was under three hundred years old.
Xiao Chen remained silent. He was not yet thirty, and ’there was certainly no need to bring that up just to show off.’
At one point, he broke in and asked, "I heard a Yin Spirit disaster occurred in the Sea of Space. I wonder, what are your thoughts on it?"
"Aren’t we going to hunt Yin Spirits?"
The main reason he asked was that after listening for some time, Xiao Chen found it strange that none of them had brought it up.
Especially since nearly every cultivator in the Nanlao Sea had been stirred into action by the news.
Hearing this, Cao Mingjie laughed freely. "Ah, my apologies. I completely forgot to mention it to you, Golden Light Taoist."
"I’ve already made inquiries. This time, the Yin Spirit disaster is projecting a Relic."
"And based on the timing, it’s a projection of the very same new Relic we’re heading to."
The Yin Spirit disaster was a variant of a mirage, and most of the time, it was connected to the original Relic.
Yu Zhenyang chimed in, "Hahaha, Golden Light Taoist, just let those other people fight over the fake one."
"We’ll go directly to the Outer Sea to find the real Relic."
"When we get there, we won’t just find Hearts of the Yin Spirit. There might even be a Tier Four inheritance or an Ancient Exotic Treasure waiting to be discovered."
Xiao Chen instantly understood. "So that’s how it is. Thank you both for the explanation."
As they were speaking, Ma Wenbo’s expression suddenly turned serious. "Speaking of which, since everyone is here, why don’t we decide on a division of labor and prepare for exploring the Relic in advance?"
"I haven’t yet asked, Golden Light Taoist, what would you say your specialties are?"
’Hm?’
Xiao Chen asked in return, "To be honest with you all, this is my first time participating in a Relic exploration. I’m not sure what you mean by a ’division of labor’."
"Hah, it’s simple. No need to make it so complicated."
Yu Zhenyang said with a laugh, "It’s just that when exploring a Relic, we need to cooperate to avoid triggering traps and being targeted by other cultivators."
"Usually, my brothers and I each have our own role."
"I’m fairly proficient in a Body Refining Technique. With my thick hide, I’m not afraid of taking a hit, so I usually take the lead and scout ahead."
"Junior Brother Ma is a cautious person. He has a wide Range of Divine Sense and has also cultivated a Spiritual Eye Technique, so he usually stays behind to act as a lookout."
"Junior Brother Cao has Mastery in Five Elements Magic and is responsible for providing support from the center of the formation."
Cao Mingjie chimed in with a laugh, "Yes, yes, that’s right. It’s just a simple formation, nothing more to it."
"If we coordinate like this, we’ll be more efficient."
"We don’t have to be super specific about it. Second Brother just wants to get a rough idea of your strengths, Golden Light Taoist."
’So that’s what this is about.’
Xiao Chen thought for a moment. ’Explosive power from Body Refining, investigation with my Divine Sense, casting Magic... I’m pretty decent at all of them.’
"I wouldn’t say I’m an expert at any one thing. I just know a little bit of everything."
