Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 1384 - 602: Never Judge a Book by Its Cover (Part 2)

No wonder the Candle Dragon Race is known as the group with the most treasures and immortal artifacts in the entire East Ming Divine Continent; they are indeed ruthless! Recruiting Divine Mountain Warriors to explore the Little World for them, risking the great danger of divine soul damage, yet these warriors must accomplish tasks beyond others for the Candle Dragon Race, or else hand over a large amount of treasures. Tsk tsk, four hundred pieces of top-grade Profound Truth Jade; since arriving in the Supreme Origin Realm, I haven’t acquired any pieces of Supreme Origin Realm’s top-grade Profound Truth Jade!

The Candle Dragon Race are truly ’black-hearted’! If someone breaks the rules on their territory, not only will they be punished, they’ll also be forced to serve in the Construction Hall as laborers for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, while being stripped of their treasures. The crux is that the Candle Dragon Race justifies this exploitation of the Divine Mountain Warriors’ treasures as providing them with a grand opportunity!

Even Lin Xuankong, who possesses tens of thousands of Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts, thinks this way, so it’s only natural that the three members of the Li Family are even more astonished by Yu Xiaoyu Tianguan’s words!

The three members of the Li Family have roamed the East Ming Divine Continent for millions of years and have only accumulated a few dozen top-grade Profound Truth Jades. Compared to four hundred pieces, it’s a world of difference!

Chubby-faced, small-eyed Li Changming exchanged a glance with Li Changsheng and Li Changshou, all letting out continual sighs,

Li Changsheng bowed gracefully to Yu Xiaoyu Tianguan and said, "Alas, even during the glorious days of our Red Water Li Family, to use four hundred top-grade Profound Truth Jades would require the unanimous approval of the clan leader and several dozen elders! As for us, not to mention four hundred pieces, we don’t even have forty pieces.

As for Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts, our Li Family did have a few, but unfortunately, they were seized by a Great Success Celestial Demon of the Thousand Illusion Celestial Demon Race during the Red Water battle. Now, the best treasures we have in our possession are merely two Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifacts!"

Hearing this, Yu Xiaoyu Tianguan casually waved her hand,

"After the Li Family’s decline, you are nothing more than loose cultivators. Given that you’re loose cultivator Celestial Immortals at the Initial Tier, accumulating a few dozen top-grade Profound Truth Jades over a million years is already impressive! After all, here in our Construction Hall’s second sect, there are nearly a thousand Initial Tier Late Stage and Initial Tier Perfection Divine Mountain Warriors, yet only six have turned in enough contributions! The remaining thousand Divine Mountain Warriors, be they Celestial Immortals, Celestial Demons, or Celestial Buddhas, must complete more tasks than others to earn the right to explore the Little World!

Enough, I only mentioned this way of submitting contributions because Lin Xuankong brought it up, without expecting any of you to come up with treasures worth four hundred top-grade Profound Truth Jades!"

The three members of the Li Family showed expressions of regret upon hearing this,

seeing Yu Xiaoyu Tianguan mention a shortcut to gain the right to explore the Little World, but unfortunately, they were too "poor" to take advantage of this shortcut!

Yu Xiaoyu Tianguan, dressed in purple, gave a slight smile and turned to leave,

but then she suddenly paused and abruptly turned her head to look at Lin Xuankong.

At that moment, all three members of the Li Family seemed to pause in surprise, looking towards Lin Xuankong with bewilderment.

They saw Lin Xuankong, guided by Supreme Primordial Qi, activating ten Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts that emitted powerful metamorphosis waves, surrounding him.

Chubby-faced, small-eyed Li Changming carefully sensed the waves of those metamorphosed Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts, observed their quality closely, and then showed an expression of shock, pointing at Lin Xuankong’s ten metamorphosed Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts with a trembling voice, "Th-this... good heavens, could these ten treasures all be genuine Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts?! Y-y-you, you actually have so many Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts, oh my, are they all real? Could they really all be real?!"

Beside him, Li Changsheng carefully sensed and his face changed repeatedly, his voice trembling, "The sword body is clear, and the Primordial Qi flows extremely rapidly, second only to the Initial Tier Growth-type Divine Artifact I once saw. These are definitely metamorphosed Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts — definitely Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts! Brother Lin, y-y-you, you actually have so many Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts!

Truly, people cannot be judged by appearances! Changsheng initially thought you looked so young that you certainly wouldn’t own many treasures, but you have a full ten metamorphosed Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts. So many metamorphosed Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts are definitely worth as much as four hundred top-grade Profound Truth Jades... truly, people cannot be judged by appearances! Changsheng really misjudged you, Brother Lin!"

The ten metamorphosed Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts floating in front of their eyes greatly shook Li Changsheng, a Celestial Immortal of Initial Stage Perfection from the Red Water Li Family, to the point that he no longer referred to Lin Xuankong as Brother Xuan Kong, but directly as Brother Lin!

Even Yu Xiaoyu Tianguan, a member of the sophisticated Candle Dragon Race, known for having seen countless treasures, couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Lin Xuankong,

Ordinary Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts wouldn’t surprise someone like Yu Xiaoyu Tianguan, who had seen countless metamorphosed Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts!

The key point was that Yu Xiaoyu Tianguan, in the early stage of Minor Success Realm, was very sure that the ten metamorphosed Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts flying around Lin Xuankong were far from the common Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts, but were actually more precious Perfect-Level Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts!

Lin Xuankong then beckoned with his hand, causing the ten Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts to shrink to the size of an embroidery needle and float into his palm,

He then handed the ten needle-sized metamorphosed Perfect-Level Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts to Yu Xiaoyu Tianguan in front of him, saying, "These ten metamorphosed Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts were obtained through a grand fortuity by Profound Void, and now I offer them as contributions, presenting them to Tianguan Yu! I hope Tianguan Yu can assist Profound Void in applying for a spot!"

Yu Xiaoyu Tianguan, evidently accustomed to seeing top-tier treasures, only showed a slight surprise before returning to her usual calm,

She raised her hand to accept the ten metamorphosed Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts from Lin Xuankong, carefully playing with them before looking up at Lin Xuankong and saying:

"I indeed did not misjudge; these ten metamorphosed Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts are not ordinary goods. They are metamorphosed from near-perfect Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts! Even within my Candle Dragon Race, it’s only the top Artifact Refining Masters who, using an abundance of extremely precious refining materials, can refine these with quite a low success rate!

Hmm... since you’re a Divine Mountain Warrior in my second section, third group, as your superior, I won’t deceive you!

Although these ten Perfect-Level metamorphosed Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts aren’t as valuable as the non-metamorphosed Perfect-Level Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts, they are worth six or seven times more than ordinary metamorphosed Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts!

So, regardless of where you got these ten Perfect-Level metamorphosed Ninth-Grade Immortal Artifacts, since you’re handing them over to my Candle Dragon Race, I’ll help you apply for better treatment. Besides securing a spot to explore the Little World, we can also directly halve your punishment time, and if there are more spots available for Little World exploration in the future, you can receive up to four additional chances! How about it, am I a considerate superior?"

Lin Xuankong was somewhat surprised by Yu Xiaoyu Tianguan’s open and considerate behavior towards him, a punished Divine Mountain Warrior, and felt a slight sense of goodwill towards the ’rather greedy and exploitative’ Candle Dragon Race!

After a few moments of thought,

Lin Xuankong shook his head, clasped his hands to Yu Xiaoyu Tianguan, and said:

"Thank you, Tianguan Yu, for your honesty towards Profound Void. Since you’re willing to help Profound Void halve the punishment time, Profound Void would naturally be delighted! But..."
