Mu Fei along with Fairy Yun Xiu felt a wave of astonishment. It was uncommon for their Senior Sister to display such keen interest in an individual, particularly one who shared her own Heaven-separated Realm.
For the haughty and matchless Fairy Qing Wan, this occurrence was undoubtedly astonishing.
Yet, reflecting on Yang Chen's recent display, it would have been odd if their Senior Sister hadn't been taken aback.
Observing Yang Chen as he departed without a care, he remained indifferent to the commotion he had stirred up in Fang Xuan Villa.
All he felt was pure joy over his newly acquired rewards.
One had to admit that venturing into this Secret Realm deserved another visit, provided no pressing matters arose.
Simply by charging through the Ninth Palace in a single push, the Jiyu Essence he harvested left him thoroughly pleased.
It's worth noting that gathering tens of thousands of Jiyu Essence might not seem abundant, yet achieving such gains over a few days without encountering peril was immensely rewarding. Even repeating it ten or a hundred times would find Yang Chen more than eager.
Additionally, upon arriving at the Eighth Palace, Yang Chen had secured another valuable item.
Though Yang Chen couldn't identify this treasure by name, he instinctively pulled it out once he exited.
The object resembled a dull, iron-gray material. No matter how he examined it from various angles, Yang Chen sensed its exceptional quality, yet he struggled to pinpoint or label it precisely.
While he pondered in confusion, the Slaughter God Spear buzzed with delight: “Young Master, this is Silver Snow Fine Iron!”
“Silver Snow Fine Iron?” Yang Chen inquired, still baffled: “What exactly is Silver Snow Fine Iron?”
“Hehe, Silver Snow Fine Iron is essentially the preliminary form and look of the Ancient Essence Cold Iron prior to its complete evolution. While its effects differ greatly from the fully developed Ancient Essence Cold Iron, they remain quite potent. Young Master, why not let me consume this item? My power will surge dramatically.” The Slaughter God Spear let out a chuckle.
Yang Chen expressed surprise: “How do you possess such vast knowledge?”
“Naturally, during my captivity under Absolute Yi Daozu, I became acquainted with numerous Divine Weapons in his possession. I'm well-versed in materials beneficial for artifact nurturing. Besides, this Silver Snow Fine Iron is merely one evolutionary step away from the Ancient Essence Cold Iron I devoured earlier,” the Slaughter God Spear boasted with pride.
Yang Chen let out an amused laugh, “Your time ensnared by Absolute Yi Daozu wasn't wasted.”
“Indeed, Young Master, regarding this Silver Snow Fine Iron…” The Slaughter God Spear gazed at him with anticipation.
“Naturally, this Silver Snow Fine Iron goes to you. I'd never keep it for myself.” With a flick of his wrist, Yang Chen promptly tossed the Silver Snow Fine Iron into the Demon God Tower.
The moment the Silver Snow Fine Iron entered the Demon God Tower, the Slaughter God Spear lunged toward it with fervor.
Yang Chen swiftly made his way back to the Earth Spirit Hall following the path he came.
Once back in the Earth Spirit Hall, Yang Chen headed directly to the chamber where he had scheduled to meet Fairy Linglong. By the time he got there, Fairy Linglong was already present, greeting him with a soft smile.
Noticing Fairy Linglong's early arrival, Yang Chen inquired steadily, “Fairy Linglong, is everything ready?”
“Certainly, take a look, Young Master Yang Chen.” Fairy Linglong offered a subtle smile, lightly sweeping her sleeve, which summoned several Star Interfaces in front of Yang Chen: “Would Young Master Yang Chen prefer to inspect them individually, or shall I point out the key highlights for you?”
After a brief consideration, Yang Chen replied, “Fairy Linglong, just select the crucial ones for me.”
A tender smile graced Fairy Linglong's features, though inwardly she felt a pang of bitterness. The demand Yang Chen had made earlier had truly tested her limits.
Despite her extensive deliberations, the interfaces she ultimately chose remained dauntingly difficult.
In her mind, Fairy Linglong let out a quiet sigh, yet she pressed on in line with Yang Chen's stipulations. Whether he could manage it or not was entirely his concern.
“Three interfaces hold potential for extracting up to One Million Jiyu Essence. The remaining four are projected to yield about 800,000 Jiyu Essence, though with considerably less challenge. Which would you prefer, the first group or the second, Brother Yang Chen?” Fairy Linglong questioned.
“The first group,” Yang Chen responded promptly, without much delay. Greater yields suited him perfectly.
A slight twitch appeared at the edge of Fairy Linglong's lips. Yang Chen showed no signs of levity in this affair.
He appeared fully committed to pursuing the One Million essence from the outset.
Helplessness stirred within her, as she had believed she'd selected a formidable cultivator capable of advancing her own gains. Yet, it turned out he was excessively bold.
It seemed her breakthrough in cultivation was still distant.
Fairy Linglong could only exhale softly and elaborate thoroughly, “To begin with this Interface, which offers up to One Million Jiyu Essence for extraction. Known as Ye Tianxing, it's entirely dominated by the Insect Race and harbors a Destiny Realm Insect Clan. The whole Interface brims with peril, and I project the extractable Jiyu Essence at roughly 1,070,000. This assumes no rivals interfere and you accomplish every feasible task.”
“The Insect Clan… And the other two?” Yang Chen probed.
“The next is Lei Feng Boundary, under the sway of the Ruthless Beast Race. It contains a Heavenly Fate Realm Ruthless Beast Clan within. The threats in this Interface stem not just from the guarding Heavenly Fate Realm Ruthless Beast Clan, but also from the pervasive Sa Qi that the Ruthless Beast Clan excels in. This Sa Qi dominates the Interface, ensnaring any intruders from other Interfaces upon entry. Thus, despite its rich Jiyu Essence ripe for exploitation, only a handful of elite forces dare venture there.” Fairy Linglong described it meticulously, leaving nothing out.
“Sa Qi?” Yang Chen's interest piqued momentarily.
He had long suspected a link between this Ruthless Beast Race and the Earth Fiend Clan familiar to him.
To his astonishment, the Ruthless Beast Race wielded Sa Qi as well!
Unable to restrain himself, Yang Chen asked, “What's the Jiyu Essence estimate for this Interface?”
“Around 1,200,000,” Fairy Linglong stated.
“1,200,000…” A hint of letdown crossed Yang Chen's face.
Sa Qi held no fear for him, but the Jiyu Essence total fell short of his expectations.
Undeterred, he continued, “Now, details on the third Interface? I'd like to hear more!”
“This third Interface goes by the name Ice and Fire Star. Centuries back, the Netherworld launched an assault on Ice and Fire Star, swiftly erecting the Gates of Life and Death afterward. The Netherworld invested heavily in Ice and Fire Star, deploying three Heavenly Fate Realm Experts into the Interface in short order.” Fairy Linglong recounted.
At the time, Yang Chen hadn't dwelled on it much, but now upon reflection…
Ice and Fire Star…
Could this be the very Ice and Fire Star that Mo Wenfeng had referenced earlier?
“Does this Ice and Fire Star serve as the homeland of the Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix Clan?” Yang Chen questioned.
“Indeed, it does.” Fairy Linglong affirmed offhandedly.
