My gorgeous wife Chapter 2423 - 2391: Squeezed Out

Condensation Stone!

If its effect is truly as Tao Wu Dao Saint says, then it indeed is a top-tier Exotic Treasure.

However, it is clear that for experts who have reached the Palm Realm, such an Exotic Treasure is not very useful, because after reaching the Palm Realm, one’s own Dao has already been consolidated, making the assistance of the Condensation Stone quite limited—at most, it helps a Palm Realm powerhouse to further comprehend their own Dao.

Yet, for a Palm Realm powerhouse, the Soul Incense evidently holds greater value than Li Chen’s.

While the effectiveness of Soul Incense below the Palm Realm might not be as powerful as the Condensation Stone, its potency is significant precisely because it greatly impacts Palm Realm powerhouses as well.

Whereas the strength of the Condensation Stone is displayed below the Palm Realm.

In this case, comparing their value becomes somewhat challenging.

Nonetheless, for the role it plays on Palm Realm powerhouses, Soul Incense obviously holds higher value.

Overall, after all, Soul Incense is clearly a consumable, and using a bit diminishes its quantity, while the Condensation Stone can be used continuously.

"Tao Wu, your item..." The Leiyang Dao Saint hesitated for a moment, about to speak, when Li Chen decisively agreed, "Good! I agree!"

"Hmm?"

Hearing Li Chen’s straightforward agreement, even Qingqiu couldn’t help but cast a curious glance at Li Chen. Nevertheless, Li Chen remained calm, unconcernedly stating, "Actually, I never expected them to bring out something of this grade, but having a Condensation Stone to give to the juniors is quite a respectable gift."

Such confidence?

At this moment, even Mo Ying couldn’t help but become somewhat curious about Li Chen, wondering what gave him such assurance.

"Of course, for the three of you... I have never treated my friends unfairly," Li Chen said with a smile.

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the three Dao Saints simultaneously revealed smiles.

Mo Ying naturally came for Li Chen’s Soul Incense, but he chose a different approach than Tao Wu and the others.

Meanwhile, for Leiyang and Qingqiu, it was indeed partly about face and virtue, but if they could obtain more of such good items, why would they refuse?

In an instant, the four reached an agreement.

"Crippled Blade Ancient Ancestor, there’s nothing for you here, just leave now." At this point, Li Chen waved to Yu Xiu, the only one who previously extended a helping hand to him in the midst, suggesting, "You’ve already done all you can here, but still, I thank you for your assistance this time."

"Yes, Hong Chen Predecessor." Yu Xiu respectfully bowed slightly towards Li Chen.

Nominally, he helped Li Chen, but he knew he hadn’t actually aided Li Chen much, not even being a match for Kong Xuanzi had it not been for Li Chen’s guidance.

He even felt a bit ashamed about Li Chen’s gratitude.

"However, after Hong Chen Predecessor’s guidance this time, perhaps I’ll achieve significant progress upon returning to cultivate in hiding..."

Yu Xiu, after paying his respects to Li Chen, soon turned and left, understanding that Li Chen wanted him gone so he wouldn’t face trouble from others after they departed.

But after traveling a distance, Yu Xiu felt something amiss.

Not in anything other than the sudden realization that within his Divine Soul, some unknown content had appeared...

"Mind like iron, Heart intent like divinity, Mind spirit as the handle, Divine Sense transforms into a blade..."

"This is... this is..." Yu Xiu instinctively covered his mouth, fearing he might roar aloud.

What had he seen?!

Divine Power!

And not just any, but an exceedingly powerful Great Divine Power!

Moreover, the terror lay in the novelty of these Divine Powers, ones he had never previously heard of.

Undoubtedly, among those he interacted with earlier, only Hong Chen Predecessor could have made such a generous gift.

Yu Xiu realized that the application of this Divine Power was so new, that even with his Earth Realm Ancient Ancestor’s experience and age, he’d never heard of such a power application method. Thus if this Divine Power didn’t come from outside, then it could only be...

Hong Chen Predecessor created it.

"This Divine Power is named... Red Dust Severance Blade!"

Upon seeing this name, Yu Xiu had no doubt.

The imprimatur of a Divine Power name can only be stamped by its creator.

And this name undeniably proved who the creator was.

"Thank you, Predecessor!"

Facing the direction from which he departed, Yu Xiu deeply bowed before vanishing.

At that moment, he recalled the words Hong Chen Predecessor mentioned earlier, that he never treats his friends unfairly.

...

"Since the wager is set, let’s have a Constructed Void Realm battle!" Solitary Elder Taoist Saint could scarcely contain himself, having been stuck in his current realm for far too long. Countless years had passed without any progress, leaving him almost desperately disordered in mentality.

"Why the rush?" Li Chen glanced sidelong at the Dao Saint, "I’m waiting for someone, so this wager battle can wait a few days."

"You’re playing me?" Solitary Elder Taoist Saint’s face darkened, initially projecting the semblance of a weathered fisherman, suddenly seeming gigantically intimidating and sending forth a terrifying aura.

Yet, Li Chen remained unperturbed, unwaveringly stating, "What, do you intend to start a fight here?"

Solitary Elder Taoist Saint’s aura abruptly stalled.

Indeed, with the constraints of the Jiankong Realm’s rules, he truly couldn’t afford to act recklessly here.

Li Chen scoffed, "Look, even when allowed to act, you wouldn’t dare, merely posturing in vain. Moreover, in this wagering battle, as someone without any stakes, why fret idly?"

"You..."

"What ’you’? Am I mistaken? Must that Condensation Stone still have a portion scraped from you?" Li Chen laughed heartily, "Despite being adversaries with Tao Wu Dao Saint, I respect his courage to offer the Condensation Stone without hesitation."

Tao Wu Dao Saint heard this, though without responding, couldn’t help the slight smile tugging at the corners of his lips, filled with pride.

Though Dao Saints are never short of sycophants, hearing such words from a fellow powerful figure makes a difference.

"And you, look." Li Chen gazed disdainfully at the enraged Solitary Elder Taoist Saint, "Appearing impoverished and tight-lipped, as though everyone owes you several Condensation Stones. Yet refusing to part with anything worthwhile, brazenly blathering—you must have thicker skin than your cosmic defense power!"

"I..."

"What ’I’? If poverty wasn’t bad enough, you insist on impoverished vanity—I look down on the likes of you the most," Li Chen declared proudly.

Beside Li Chen, Mo Ying was bewildered.

Leiyang Dao Saint and the Demon Saint of Qingqiu exchanged glances, inwardly laughing wryly.

In their oversight, they’d forgotten this was someone capable of rendering even the Poem Shadow Dao Saint speechless.

Watching the filled-with-frustration face of the Solitary Elder Taoist Saint turn red, they worried about this Dao Saint being so infuriated his temper might literally explode.
