Immortality Starts With Investment Chapter 664: Lan Nuo's Done Her Best!

Luo Bingling seething with rage, genuinely furious. The Minor Space Technique remained unknown to her, yet Ye Chen’s grave demeanor signaled its significant value. It was a discovery she’d made alongside him.

Despite this, he embarked on a lengthy journey to bestow it upon Lan Nuo, not her. What message did this convey? In his estimation, was everyone superior to her? For the inherently confident Luo Bingling, this represented a substantial blow.

She had presumed a mere sway of her waist would easily captivate a lustful man like Ye Chen. However, he had repeatedly attempted to evade her, bestowing precious items upon other women. He had even allowed that barefoot woman to splash water on her face during their chariot escapades, showing utter disregard!

"Must I resort to such measures to capture him, to win his heart?"

Luo Bingling contemplated this. But… she recoiled. The War God Clan’s tradition of monogamy instilled in her a sense of resistance. Soon after, she recalled the barefoot woman’s methods… utilizing agile feet.

Though it induced a cringe, her toes curling involuntarily, she had already permitted him to touch her waist and feet. One more step? Very well… With renewed resolve, she fixed her gaze upon Ye Chen above, observing Su Yuxuan’s maneuvers…

"This… far too precious…"

From above, Lan Nuo placed her trust in Ye Chen’s discernment. A technique he held in high regard was undoubtedly extraordinary. In need of a Space Divine Stone, he had presented her with something far superior. He had been observing her discreetly. She no longer harbored a fear of being struck. However, she felt embarrassed. She attempted to decline.

Before she could voice her refusal, Ye Chen flicked the golden jade slip towards her. "On the Central Continent, the sole true prodigy is you—do not be indecisive, or I shall hold you in contempt!" He understood Lan Nuo’s nature all too well. A show-off could not bear the thought of being underestimated.

As anticipated, she perceived refusing as overly petty, lacking in magnanimity. She accepted it with a gentle grasp. "Then, I thank you, Fellow Daoist Ye!"

Her tone was composed, yet her mind was in turmoil. She had believed two children, one bearing the Lan surname, would suffice. But Ye Chen’s devotion—praising her, gifting her first—demonstrated her unique standing.

Luo Bingling’s contorted expression below served as confirmation that she had received nothing. She ought to have more children, allowing Ye Chen to make the selection, leaving the least talented for the Lan Clan…

Amid her gratitude, a concern surfaced. What about the impending battle? Ye Chen would likely hold back his true strength. Yet, with formidable cultivators, even Saint Kings, observing, they would certainly take notice. Would he once again postpone the fight? That would undoubtedly invite suspicion. She could not continuously allow him to suffer humiliation—she ought to reciprocate. Perhaps she should study the Minor Space Technique at this very moment? Claim a breakthrough, assert an inability to suppress her realm, and declare a need for seclusion, thereby delaying the battle. This would showcase her innate genius and provide a plausible reason for postponing the contest…

Ye Chen paid no heed to Lan Nuo’s composed exterior and her rapidly swirling thoughts, nor to Luo Bingling’s competitive determination below to subvert her clan’s traditions. His focus remained fixed on the system’s prompt.

"Congratulations, host, the gift has been successfully delivered…"

"Gift Received: Minor Space Technique fragment!"

"Initiating 4,000x feedback processing!"

"Detection: The gifted item aligns with the recipient's mindset…"

"Activating top-tier critical reward."

"Feedback Received: Complete Minor Space Technique, including insights from Immortal King Fang Han!"

"Feedback Received: Complete Minor Teleportation Technique, including insights from Immortal King Fang Han!"

"Feedback Received: Complete Minor Sealing Technique, including insights from Immortal King Fang Han!"

"Minor Space Technique: Developed by a premier expert from the Black Yellow World to simplify the Major Space Technique for disciples of the sect. It encompasses the profound truths of space, significantly augmenting spatial comprehension, and enabling effortless manipulation of spatial power to subdue adversaries…"

"Minor Teleportation Technique: Simplified from the Major Teleportation Technique. While the latter allows traversal across world boundaries, this technique, upon mastery, enables instantaneous teleportation over a million miles…"

"Minor Sealing Technique: Derived from the Major Sealing Technique. It serves to immobilize foes, restricting their strength, speed, or divine abilities. Upon achieving mastery, it can seal vital energy, trapping opponents in an eternal, lifeless state, forever beyond liberation…"

Ye Chen regarded the received feedback with a smile. Though it wasn't the Major Space Technique, he felt no disappointment—it was as expected. As a scripture of the highest caliber, one of the three thousand grand Daos, its worth was immeasurable. The Minor Space Technique was akin to a children’s primer when contrasted with advanced mathematics. The disparity was immense. Presenting a fragment and anticipating the complete Major version was an overly ambitious expectation.

With Yan Qingcheng’s 7,000x reward and a top critical success, it might have been feasible. However, Lan Nuo’s feedback offered him substantial satisfaction. A single fragment yielded three complete techniques—a highly advantageous outcome. All three were exceptionally potent.

The Minor Space Technique would facilitate his third-tier Mahayana breakthrough. The Minor Teleportation Technique was formidable—enabling instantaneous long-distance movement. When combined with the Kun Peng Treasure Technique and the Travel Secret, he would possess the ability to traverse to any location, greatly enhancing his chances of survival.

By enhancing one's array of combat abilities, the Minor Sealing Technique proved quite useful. In the vast expanse of the cultivation world, mere strength was not the only factor; the importance of connections could not be understated. The sealing ability granted Ye Chen a crucial advantage, offering him adaptability when faced with complex predicaments. Certain races possessed an astonishing vitality, capable of regenerating from a mere drop of blood. Within the Immortal Realm, some beings were simply impervious to death. For such formidable opponents, sealing presented the most suitable solution.

Ye Chen felt a surge of satisfaction with the treasures acquired. Lan Nuo had evidently exerted considerable effort. His gaze upon her gentled even more.
