Primordial Emperor

Qiu Yue had just sat down and was about to drink the tea that Lin Chen poured, when Zhuang Xiaoqin suddenly pulled her up. Qiu Yue cast a look of utter confusion at Zhuang Xiaoqin, wondering what was going on.

Seeing Qiu Yue's puzzled expression, Zhuang Xiaoqin couldn't help but sigh silently.

This girl, despite having a good understanding of cultivation talent and spiritual formation expertise, really lacks in handling interpersonal relationships.

After all, since she was young, Qiu Yue had grown up spoiled under the indulgence of her and their master, developing a haughty and willful personality, disregarding everyone else.

Now, Lin Chen is their grandmaster. How could they sit and have tea before him?

Watching the small actions of Qiu Yue and Zhuang Xiaoqin, Lin Chen saw them but didn't mind.

After all, Lin Chen wasn't a stickler for such things; the other party had brought so many spirit crystals, he wouldn't care whether they sat first or not.

In Lin Chen's view, as long as these two girls no longer caused trouble, he was too lazy to care, and he certainly wouldn't use the grandmaster's status to suppress them.

The last time he used the grandmaster status was because Qiu Yue had gone too far.

After all, Qiu Yue had always been at odds with Lin Chen, so Lin Chen had to invoke his grandmaster status to stop her without using force.

"Grandmaster, if there's nothing else, we will take our leave," Zhuang Xiaoqin said respectfully to Lin Chen.

Joking aside, they came to deliver spirit crystals, not to have tea.

Now that the spirit crystals were in Lin Chen's hands, naturally, they wanted to leave.

"Wait, tell me, why did your master suddenly send me so many spirit crystals?" Lin Chen looked at Zhuang Xiaoqin and asked casually.

Although Lin Chen urgently needed spirit crystals, it was still good to ask the reason.

After all, this was not a small amount but five million low-grade spirit crystals.

Back then, when Lin Chen demanded a token of apprenticeship from Wang Tong, he only asked for one million low-grade spirit crystals.

Now Wang Tong had sent five million at once. How could Lin Chen not be surprised?

"You may not know, Grandmaster, last night my master broke through the spirit array bottleneck, and his cultivation, which had been stagnant for years, also broke through. Many big figures from Yunlong Heavenly Palace came to present gifts."

"My master intended to invite you to the banquet, but considering you wanted to keep a low profile, he did not invite you. Instead, he instructed me to deliver these spirit crystals."

"Among the gifts those big figures gave was a lot of treasures; Master Duan even gifted a top seventh rank treasured sword," Zhuang Xiaoqin looked at Lin Chen and said casually.

However, while she explained the delivery of spirit crystals, she hid the fact that Wang Tong originally planned to offer half of the gifts to Lin Chen.

Joking aside, now that she had seen Lin Chen's love for wealth, Zhuang Xiaoqin thought, if Lin Chen knew he was supposed to get half the gifts instead of just five million spirit crystals, he might just retaliate.

After all, this outcome was mostly because of her loose tongue.

"I see." Lin Chen listened to Zhuang Xiaoqin's explanation, nodded, and then accepted the five million low-grade spirit crystals.

Although five million low-grade spirit crystals was a large sum, compared to Wang Tong's breakthrough in cultivation, it really was nothing.

Moreover, with so many big figures sending heavy gifts, just Duan Yuanfeng's top seventh rank treasured sword was worth more than five million low-grade spirit crystals.

Lin Chen also knew that Wang Tong's breakthrough was entirely due to his guidance in spiritual formation expertise.

So accepting his five million low-grade spirit crystals was only right.

"In that case, you may go. Send my regards to Wang Tong when you return," Lin Chen said, smiling at Zhuang Xiaoqin and Qiu Yue.

With five million spirit crystals in his pocket, Lin Chen was in a great mood.

"Yes, Grandmaster, we will take our leave now," Zhuang Xiaoqin replied respectfully and then dragged a very reluctant Qiu Yue away.

Faced with Qiu Yue's unwilling expression, Lin Chen didn't care. As long as this girl didn't provoke him, Lin Chen couldn't be bothered.

After the two girls left, Lin Chen immediately entered the second layer space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron to let it refine the five million low-grade spirit crystals.

As the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron absorbed and refined the spirit crystals, the cracks on its body were immediately repaired somewhat, and the eighth star map was completely lit up under this vast energy.

Seeing this, Lin Chen was overjoyed, and feedback came from the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron. Indeed, after the eighth star map was lit, the teleportation to the unfamiliar world was shortened by one day from fourteen days, becoming thirteen days.

While happy, Lin Chen also sighed.

For, as Lin Chen had anticipated, each additional star map required twice the energy of the previous one to light up.

Lighting up the seventh star map took about two million low-grade spirit crystals, while the eighth required over four million.

After lighting up the eighth star map, the ninth star map was also slightly lit, though its color was dim.

It seemed that lighting up the ninth star map would consume an unknown amount of spirit crystals.

After lighting up the eighth star map, Lin Chen continued practicing the Three Purities Soul Drawing Technique, and time flew by. Inside the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, ten days passed, and Lin Chen's divine soul transmitted a powerful wave. It turned out that the Three Purities Soul Drawing Technique had broken through to the tenth realm.

Lin Chen opened his eyes, slightly sensing his current soul power, only to feel its tremendous strength. Now his soul power could rival that of a Creation Realm expert.

With a single thought, Lin Chen's soul power spread out, instantly covering an area within ten miles.

Every move within a ten-mile radius was under Lin Chen's soul observation.

Now that the Three Purities Soul Drawing Technique had broken through, Lin Chen did not hesitate. He once again used the soul split technique, dividing this soul into two, separating out the third soul division.
