NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1058: Negotiating the Deal Again
The Sky Martial Battle Platform was silent.
Most of the disciples gathered here were looking for entertainment, hoping to see Chen Yu make a fool of himself, but were instead one by one embarrassed by Chen Yu.
"Hey, the senior brother from earlier, still want to fight?"
Chen Yu suddenly shouted.
A confused dark-faced man in the crowd shivered all over.
He remembered challenging Chen Yu earlier, but Geng Handong had suddenly intervened.
But now, does he dare to fight Chen Yu?
The opponent even defeated Geng Handong, ranked ninety-ninth on the Heavenly Martial List; how could he be a match for Chen Yu?
"Junior Brother Chen, misunderstandings, misunderstandings, Brother was just joking earlier."
The dark-faced man squeezed out a pained smile.
The means Chen Yu had displayed thoroughly shocked him.
If he went down to fight Chen Yu again, it would only end in defeat, further boosting Chen Yu's prestige, embarrassing the senior disciples, and freely giving away Profound Meaning Essence Stones; he couldn't be foolish.
The dark-faced man's show of submission and awkward smile were scorned by the surrounding senior disciples, but no one said anything.
Given the strength Chen Yu had just displayed, who among them dared to say they could defeat him?
"Brother Zhang, and this senior brother with thick eyebrows, don't forget the ten Profound Meaning Essence Stones."
Chen Yu smiled at Zhang Chen and the thick-browed man.
The two exchanged glances, seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes, Zhang Chen sighed, "I'll give you the ten Profound Meaning Essence Stones."
Zhang Chen now regrets being dragged into causing trouble for Chen Yu; this time, he truly lost both the lady and the soldiers.
The Profound Meaning Essence Stones were expensive, and he couldn't gather ten for now.
Moreover, Zhang Chen didn't dare to default.
As long as the battles took place on the Sky Martial Battle Platform, they were recorded, and private betting battles were no exception.
If Zhang Chen dared to renege, he would surely face punishment from the Law Enforcement Hall.
The crowd gradually dispersed, Lin Tianfeng and Lin Daowei left quietly without a word.
"How could this happen?"
After escaping the scene, Lin Tianfeng still couldn't believe the outcome of all his plans.
"Nephew Chen, hold on, you've just entered the Heavenly Martial List; the sect will give you additional rewards."
Just as Chen Yu was about to leave, the steward responsible for the Sky Martial Battle Platform called him.
"Additional rewards?"
Chen Yu hadn't heard of these.
"That's right, entering the Heavenly Martial List comes with extra resource rewards; otherwise, the list wouldn't attract every disciple of the Heavenly Martial Sect, nor have authority."
Entering the Heavenly Martial List awards an extra ten Profound Meaning Essence Stones, and two hundred thousand top-grade yuan crystals.
Besides this, with Chen Yu ranked ninety-ninth, he gets a ten percent discount when exchanging for spirit pills, rare materials, or martial techniques in the Heavenly Martial Sect.
"My surname is Li, come with me."
Deacon Li offered to lead Chen Yu to claim the additional rewards.
Today's three battles by Chen Yu had also shaken him; entering the Heavenly Martial List within a year of joining—such a feat hadn't occurred for nearly a millennium.
Additionally, Chen Yu was under the sect master, and his future prospects were limitless, prompting Deacon Li's desire to build rapport with Chen Yu.
Under Deacon Li's guidance, Chen Yu arrived at a majestic hall.
"Deacon Li? Why are you here? Has someone entered the Heavenly Martial List?"
An old man with a goat beard approached with a smile.
"Indeed, Nephew Chen has just defeated the ninety-ninth on the Genius List, Geng Handong, becoming the new ninety-ninth on the Heavenly Martial List."
Deacon Li replied.
"Oh? This nephew seems a bit unfamiliar."
The goat-bearded old man nodded slightly, examined Chen Yu briefly, and asked casually.
The ninety-ninth rank on the Heavenly Martial List, the last position, wasn't worth his attention.
"Haha, he's only been in the sect for a year; it's normal that he appears unfamiliar."
Deacon Li laughed.
The goat-bearded old man's eyes suddenly protruded, shimmering brightly as he carefully scrutinized Chen Yu.
"Young and possessing such strength, this nephew must be the top in this year's entrance assessment."
The goat-bearded old man looked at Chen Yu with a completely different demeanor.
Breaking into the Heavenly Martial List within a year of joining was unheard of in the history of the Heavenly Martial Sect; he naturally understood its significance.
After a few exchanges.
The goat-bearded old man registered Chen Yu's information and handed over the rewards.
Normally, Profound Meaning Essence Stones were given out arbitrarily, usually those in surplus.
But this time, he let Chen Yu choose.
Chen Yu didn't hesitate, selecting ten gold attribute Profound Meaning Essence Stones.
He had deeply experienced the power of the White Tiger Sky Splitting Claw, and the deeper the comprehension of the Profound Meaning of Gold, the stronger the White Tiger Sky Splitting Claw's might.
Next, Chen Yu headed to the Heavenly Treasure Hall of the Heavenly Martial Sect.
Here, he could exchange various cultivation resources, spirit pills, including Profound Meaning Essence Stones.
"Cultivating the White Tiger Sky Splitting Claw requires extreme resources; this time, I must bleed profusely..."
Chen Yu entered the Heavenly Treasure Hall.
In one year, he had cultivated the White Tiger Sky Splitting Claw to the Small Success Realm, relying entirely on his own Body Refinement talent. Of course, the few resources in his storage space had been exhausted.
If he wished to continue advancing, simply relying on his Body Dao talent wouldn't suffice, and the finally cultivated White Tiger Sacred Claw would possess flaws.
The cultivation method for the White Tiger Sky Splitting Claw listed numerous rare materials and some formulas for tempering the White Tiger Sacred Claw, enhancing its power and realm.
Some rare treasures were marked as essential.
For instance, the essence blood of the gold-type Holy Beast, and Heavenly Crystal Gold.
The cultivation method noted that lacking these two items in cultivating the White Tiger Sky Splitting Claw would prevent perfection at that level.
The essence blood of the Metal Holy Beast is not particularly difficult to obtain, but if you want a higher grade, it will require some effort.
As for "Heavenly Crystal Gold," it is a very rare mineral material. In the refinement of offensive high-grade profound artifacts or even supreme-grade profound artifacts, if a small piece of Heavenly Crystal Gold is added, the power of the profound artifact will be greatly enhanced.
Chen Yu browsed briefly and selected a recipe called "Golden Spirit Liquid". The required valuable materials are not particularly expensive, and the effect is quite good.
Thus, he collected the materials needed for Golden Spirit Liquid at the Heavenly Treasure Hall.
Currently, in the Heavenly Martial Sect, he could get a ten percent discount on exchanging any items, which, over time, could save a lot of yuan stones.
According to Deacon Li, the higher the ranking, the better the treatment received, with the exchange discount for items being as low as fifty percent.
Outstanding disciples enjoy more considerable resources for cultivation; this is the reason.
"These materials are enough to prepare two portions of Golden Spirit Liquid."
Chen Yu stopped after being busy for a while.
The valuable materials for the two portions of Golden Spirit Liquid cost Chen Yu a total of two hundred and fifty thousand top-grade yuan stones.
After returning to his residence, Chen Yu began preparing the Golden Spirit Liquid.
After a while, the Golden Spirit Liquid was successfully prepared.
Bubbling!
With a slight shake, the golden liquid in the bottle rolled up, shining brightly.
Chen Yu's hands were covered with Golden Spirit Liquid, and with the cultivation technique, the golden-white light lines on his hands shone brightly, slowly absorbing the medicinal effects of the "Golden Spirit Liquid."
During this process, there was also the pain that was difficult for ordinary people to endure; Chen Yu's hands seemed to be continually pricked by countless golden formations.
He gritted his teeth to bear the pain and absorbed the liquid.
Two hours later, the medicinal effects were completely absorbed.
Chen Yu looked at his hands, with smooth skin, emitting a faint golden luster, and the platinum lines on the surface were also more distinct.
Circulating primordial power, he activated the White Tiger Sacred Claw.
Buzz boom!
The platinum lines undulated, forming a pair of gigantic semi-transparent claws that exuded an ancient and prehistoric Holy Beast aura.
He found that the power of the White Tiger Sacred Claw had improved slightly.
After using it continuously for a few days, the first portion of Golden Spirit Liquid was used up.
Not only did the power of the White Tiger Sacred Claw improve, but Chen Yu found that the defense of his hands also far exceeded that of other parts of his body.
The first portion of Golden Spirit Liquid was just completely absorbed.
Chen Yu temporarily stopped refining the White Tiger Sacred Claw and turned to comprehend the Profound Meaning of metal.
Currently, his Profound Meaning of metal had only reached the second level.
It must be known that Chen Yu has been comprehending the Profound Meaning of metal for merely a year.
With his current cultivation level, improving the Profound Meaning of metal to the second level within a year, this speed is already incredibly astonishing.
Just two days after Chen Yu began comprehending the Profound Meaning of metal.
The Cave Mansion Barrier experienced a ripple, indicating someone had come to visit.
Pop!
A flash of light appeared before Chen Yu, presenting an image of the scene before the cave mansion.
Among the visitors were three people whom Chen Yu recognized, Ling Ting, Ling Yun, and Ling Jiao from the White Tiger Sacred Clan.
"White Tiger Sacred Clan..."
Chen Yu ended his seclusion and met with the three from the White Tiger Sacred Clan in a hall.
"What brings the three of you to see me?"
Chen Yu wore a faint smile, getting straight to the point.
Initially at the Chaotic Sea Plain, the White Tiger Divine Race's Emperor Xuanming came to trade the "Four Symbols Divine Body," but ultimately lost the bet and left decisively, leaving matters unresolved.
For more than four years afterwards, the White Tiger Sacred Clan never came looking for him.
Chen Yu thought the White Tiger Sacred Clan couldn't accept the terms and gave up on the "Four Symbols Divine Body."
Ling Ting looked at Chen Yu, her gaze complex.
Facing Chen Yu now, she had lost all her arrogance, instead feeling a powerful pressure.
"Chen Yu, my clan has sent me to inform you that they agree to the conditions you set previously."
Ling Ting took a deep breath and spoke solemnly.
The White Tiger Sacred Clan did not give up on the "Four Symbols Divine Body" and had continuously sent people to keep an eye on Chen Yu.
They believed that Chen Yu would encounter trouble someday, whereupon the White Tiger Sacred Clan could take advantage of it.
But four years passed, and not only did Chen Yu enter the Heavenly Martial Sect, he was also accepted as a disciple by the Sect Master, practically akin to leaping into the dragon's gate.
And just a few days ago, Chen Yu even ascended the Heavenly Martial List, shocking the Heavenly Martial Sect.
This event was known by the upper echelons of the White Tiger Sacred Clan, leading them to finally abandon their plan and accept the conditions Chen Yu initially set.
Chen Yu being a disciple of the Sky Martial Sect Master, so long as he doesn't fall from grace, he is bound to become the Emperor Xuanming in the future.
"That's good, but I'd like to modify the content of the trade a bit."
Chen Yu's eyes gleamed slightly.
"Chen Yu, don't go too far."
Ling Jiao snorted coldly, showing dissatisfaction as Chen Yu intended to set conditions.
That's five hundred Profound Meaning crystals, which even Emperor Xuanming would be incredibly envious of.
Moreover, besides five hundred Profound Meaning crystals, the White Tiger Sacred Clan also promised Chen Yu a favor.
Yet Chen Yu showed no contentment, still wanting to set conditions.
"Am I going too far? If that's the case, let's just call off the trade."
Chen Yu laughed mockingly, looking as if he were about to dismiss them.
Ling Ting and the other two immediately panicked.
The White Tiger Sacred Clan's high officials had already decided to trade the "Four Symbols Divine Body" and make good terms with Chen Yu.
If they messed up this matter, they wouldn't fare well.
"Chen Yu, wait…"
Ling Ting sighed helplessly.
