Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Chapter 443 - 253: Spirit Treasure: Nine Flood Dragon Spirit Fire Shield! A True Prodigy!

The news of Qi Chuan ascending to the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm spread, causing the entire Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect to become fervent and incessant.

Meanwhile, near the entrance of Qingyun True Monarch’s cave mansion, it was quiet.

Qi Chuan had just emerged from the cave mansion when he saw Zhao Ming and other Core Formation True Masters loudly congratulating him. Even hearing the commotion outside from the entire Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect made his expression slightly stunned.

He hadn’t expected to encounter such a grand occasion just after coming out from seclusion.

Moreover, on his journey to rise, Qi Chuan had received considerable help from Zhao Ming and others. After advancing to the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm, it didn’t make sense to suddenly act superior and ungrateful, adopting a haughty demeanor.

Immediately, he hurriedly gestured politely, saying, "Sect Leader and fellow senior brothers and sisters, there’s no need for such formality. I’m still the same Qi Chuan as before."

However, Zhao Ming did not dare to agree. He clasped his fists and said, "The Second Supreme Elder’s words are not quite so. Today, you have entered the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm, creating a situation where the sect has two Nascent Soul True Monarchs. This is extremely beneficial for the sect and ensures its continuation for at least a thousand years. We should honorably address you."

"Second Supreme Elder, the Sect Leader’s words are indeed appropriate!"

Qu Xuanlei, Feng Tan, and other Core Formation True Masters all chimed in, fully endorsing Zhao Ming’s statement.

"This..." Qi Chuan was momentarily speechless. Meeting Zhao Ming and the others again today felt as if there was a layer of distance between them, a slight unfamiliarity.

But at this moment, Qingyun True Monarch spoke, "Qi Chuan, Zhao Ming is right. From today onwards, you are our sect’s second Supreme Elder. Their respectful treatment just serves to reassure everyone."

Upon hearing Qingyun True Monarch’s words, Qi Chuan hesitated slightly, but then could only nod and say, "Alright, as per the Supreme Elder’s words. Sect Leader, fellow Elders, no need for excessive formalities, let’s keep it normal."

"Understood!"

Upon Qi Chuan speaking, Zhao Ming and the others all clasped their fists in agreement, then relaxed their posture slightly, standing with hands respectfully down as if obeying Qi Chuan’s command.

"If you don’t mind, you may call me Senior Brother Qingyun instead of Supreme Elder, after all, you are now a Supreme Elder yourself," Qingyun True Monarch said with a smile at this moment.

Calling the Supreme Elder Senior Brother Qingyun?

Indeed, upon one breakthrough, everything changes dramatically.

Qi Chuan sighed inwardly, no longer bothered by it. He smoothly said, "Disciple Brother Qi Chuan, greets Senior Brother Qingyun."

"Good, good! Today, I also congratulate Qi Chuan on entering the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm. Here is a Lower Grade Spirit Treasure, as a gift from Senior Brother," Qingyun True Monarch seemed quite pleased, and then took out a splendid artifact from the spatial artifact, handing it to Qi Chuan.

The shield was entirely crimson like fire yet emitted a cool warmth, with nine Flood Dragons engraved on it, each with different forms and spiritual meanings.

"Lower Grade Spirit Treasure?" Qi Chuan received it, and upon observing the shield, his expression was somewhat surprised.

"It’s what you refer to as a Tier Four Lower Grade Treasure. But once a treasure reaches Tier Four, if placed within the dantian, nurtured by the Nascent Soul over day and night, after some time, it naturally manifests a trace of spirituality. Hence, in the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm, we refer to it as ’Spirit Treasure’ tier. Above ’Spirit Treasure’, there is an even stronger ’Spirit Communication Treasure’."

"This shield is the Nine Flood Dragon Spirit Fire Shield, possessing the power of nine Flood Dragons, with a formidable defense. Wearing it, neither water nor fire can invade, nor can sword or spear break through. It was left by a former Supreme Elder of our sect; you may accept it for your own use."

Qingyun True Monarch explained in detail.

"I see, thank you for the gift, Senior Brother Qingyun!" Qi Chuan listened, and understanding dawned within him, thus he placed the Nine Flood Dragon Spirit Fire Shield into the Qiankun Bag, and thanked Qingyun True Monarch with clasped fists.

In his mind, he recalled his two important artifacts.

The first was his Tier Three Upper Grade Flying Sword, Cyan Pure Sword.

With the Spirit Devouring Sword Forging Technique, this sword could also advance to the Spirit Treasure tier.

However, it requires some Tier Four metal, and later on, he might consult Senior Brother Qingyun about it.

The other was the White Dragon Tripod.

This White Dragon Tripod, back when he was still in the Core Formation Late Stage realm, its emitted Spiritual Qi concentration had already reached the level of Tier Three Upper Grade Spirit Vein.

Also, he could not truly utilize it, unable to open its lid to explore the cauldron inner space.

Presumably, it is an artifact of the Spirit Treasure tier.

Previously, during his seclusion breakthrough in Qingyun True Monarch’s ten directions stone chamber, he could have started exploring the White Dragon Tripod immediately after breaking through, but he did not.

Not only the White Dragon Tripod, there were other tasks left undone, like comprehending the Tenth Sword Dao Divine Techniques.

The reason was that as long as he did not emerge from seclusion, Qingyun True Monarch would assume his breakthrough bottleneck attempt was still ongoing, and would not close the Eye of the Spiritual Vein, maintaining the Spiritual Qi burst state, which greatly damages the Tier Four Middle Grade Spirit Vein beneath the Myriad Flowers Mountain Range.

Therefore, as soon as he finished his breakthrough, he promptly came out to avoid excessive damage to the Tier Four Middle Grade Spirit Vein.

Upon returning to his cave mansion later, he would carefully explore the White Dragon Tripod.

Should the White Dragon Tripod be of the Spirit Treasure tier, alongside the Nine Flood Dragon Spirit Fire Shield bestowed by Qingyun True Monarch, he would possess two Spirit Treasures.

Upon one breakthrough to the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm and already owning two Spirit Treasures, it was far from poor.
