Chapter 594 The Rental Price of Innate Treasures

"Furthermore, we can't let the Grand Venerable Shisheng work for nothing by preparing the Dragon Feast. Please lend a hand. I'll give you double the amount of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals you need." Xu Chen waved his hand, looking like he had plenty of money to spare.

"Forget about the reward, but could you give me the dragon tail?"

“I will use the dragon's tail to prepare several banquets, and I will give you a few tables then,” said the Grand Master of Food.

"no problem!"

"Then I'll start preparing now." As Shi Sheng Da Zun spoke, he began to take out various kinds of kitchen utensils.

After seeing the Grand Venerable Shisheng begin to divide the hundred-mile-long dragon clan Grand Venerable, Xu Chen gave up the secret realm.

"In the future, when we're happy, let's give red envelopes to the sect disciples. We can talk about dragon meat soup later."

In Yang Wanshan's private shrine.

"I've already found the location, it's right here." As soon as Yang Wanshan saw Xu Chen, he shared with him the future base of his sect that he had found after expending a lot of effort.

A huge screen of light appeared, and Yang Wanshan pointed to one corner of it.

Looking at the entire map of light and shadow, Xu Chen saw that the main world was in the center. Judging from the positions of the stars, the corner that Yang Wanshan was pointing to was at least 100,000 years away.

"What's so special about this star sea?" Xu Chen asked curiously.

"According to the information provided by the Temple of the Human Emperor, although the resources in this star sea area are only average, there are many small clans around it."

"Moreover, there is a spatial turbulence zone not far away."

“I’ve spoken with Da Xu. After he advanced to the Divine-grade Refiner level, the spatial innate spiritual treasures he crafted could stabilize cracks in spatial turbulence.”

"Moreover, that area of ​​spatial turbulence is extremely large, and the spatial rifts that are created there must lead to various directions and regions."

"At that time, it will be much easier to identify a few resource-rich areas or areas that are extremely convenient for trade than to simply look for resources."

"Moreover, Junior Brother was able to open the other human territory, which should now be considered a spatial gate of the Dao Gate Domain, so this counts as one as well."

"We can use this as a transit point to contact the human race in the main world."

"When we're strong enough, we'll just enclose this area of ​​spatial turbulence and conquer the surrounding smaller tribes. At that point, our development will probably be even faster than during the peak of our Great Stream Sect's growth," Yang Wanshan listed several advantages.

"Then let's choose this place. Is the teleportation point over there close to the place you mentioned, senior brother?" Xu Chen asked.

"About the same, the distance isn't that far."

"However, it may take some time before we can move. During this period, we will need to collect a large amount of spatial essence for use when teleporting to other worlds."

“The estimated timeframe is 30,000 years,” Yang Wanshan said.

“Okay, then I’ll go over there and take a look, and also check out the area with the spatial turbulence.”

"Then be careful when you go, junior brother," Yang Wanshan said.

"Don't worry, ordinary Saint Venerable Realm experts can't do anything to me now."

After finishing his conversation with Yang Wanshan, Xu Chen returned to the floating island cave.

At this moment, Su Yueyao was tending to the fruit trees and tea trees in the cave. The trees that could be transplanted into the cave were at least at the level of acquired spiritual treasures.

"My husband, you're back!"

Su Yueyao happily walked over and took Xu Chen's arm.

"You're back~" Xu Chen smiled and stroked Su Yueyao's hair.

"How long will you be staying this time, my husband? Will you continue your cultivation?" Su Yueyao asked, her bright, intelligent eyes fixed on Xu Chen.

"I'll go out again in a few years; I won't be cultivating for a while."

"I'll stay home and spend quality time with you."
The two walked together in perfect unison to the largest room in the cave.

Three years later, the 10,000-table Dragon Banquet that Xu Chen had requested was ready.

Xu Chen took a table and called Yang Wanshan, Sheng Qing, and Xu Xiyue over to taste the food.

A table of 360 dishes, each exuding an irresistible aroma.

"Let's eat! The Venerable Food Master has prepared it using special methods. It's safe for any being who has embarked on the path of immortality to eat, and it's also highly nutritious!"

Xu Chen first picked up a piece of crystal-clear dragon blood tofu with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth to savor it.

The dragon blood tofu melted in his mouth, and Xu Chen experienced an indescribable deliciousness.

"Delicious! Delicious!!" Xu Chen's eyes shone with golden light.

The others quickly started eating as well.

Xu Chen was extremely satisfied with every dish at the Dragon Feast.

Xu Chen and his group devoured all 360 dishes in a flash.

A puppet maidservant brought over a pot of brewed tea.

"A cup of tea after a meal is truly comforting."

“Sheng Qing, how many people and forces borrowed my Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystal when I was cultivating?”

"Back then, almost all the Great Venerables in the human race borrowed from them, a total of 63. The families of those Great Venerables who were not in the human race also sent over all their Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals as soon as they finished asking."

"Currently, all the human race's Grand Venerables have been there, and the Great Luo experts who are related to the Great Stream Sect have almost emptied their coffers, although not much."

"Some powerful experts who had no connection with the Great Stream Sect also generously donated money after hearing about this."

"There are a total of 11342 Great Luo Realm experts."

"As for power, there are the top 100 merchant guilds of the human race, plus the merchant guilds that have connections with the Great Stream Sect, which together make up 230 power."

Sheng Qing told her everything.

"I'll give you 2000 tables of the Dragon Banquet. Apart from the Grand Venerable, find a way to thank him and let him know that those who help my Great Stream Sect will be repaid with kindness!" Xu Chen said with a wave of his hand.

"Second Elder, isn't this a bit extravagant?" Sheng Qing felt a pang of heartache.

"Why are you so upset?"

"The Dragon Feast is so delicious, the dragon race is going to suffer in the future. There will be no shortage of this kind of food then."

"Let's split it up then. Our Daxi Sect isn't a stingy sect," Yang Wanshan said magnanimously.

“The Grand Elder is right.” Xu Xiyue, who was still enjoying the food, chimed in after hearing the key information.

"Alright, let's find some time to gather those Grand Luo experts over in batches to express our gratitude."

"We'll express our gratitude to those chambers of commerce later, depending on the amount they lent," Sheng Qing said.

"Just decide for yourself."

After everyone finished the Dragon Feast, Xu Chen decided to go and see the place that Yang Wanshan had chosen.

However, before going there, he needed to borrow something from the Temple of the Human Emperor.

Nine Emperor City, within the Green Bamboo Secret Realm, the headquarters of the Human Emperor Temple.

"Great Venerable Qingzhu, I've come to borrow a supreme innate treasure," Xu Chen said excitedly, rubbing his hands together.

"Are you sure you want to borrow it?" Grandmaster Qingzhu asked seriously.

"Of course, what price? Just name your price." Xu Chen was a little impatient.

"One billion catties of Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystals per year~" said the Great Venerable Qingzhu.

"Deal, this amount, no backing out." Xu Chen's lips almost couldn't contain his smile.

"But there is one more condition: you must borrow this innate treasure if you cannot refuse in a major battle concerning the development of the human race, otherwise you will be disqualified from borrowing the innate treasure." Grand Venerable Qingzhu placed the brewed bamboo leaf tea in front of Xu Chen.

"Don't worry, I'll participate even without borrowing a supreme innate treasure," Xu Chen said earnestly. "Big brother, I'll do it."

Grandmaster Qingzhu waved his hand gently, and a spatial portal appeared in front of the two of them.

Upon entering, Xu Chen discovered that he had arrived at the Human Race's Treasure Vault Realm.

After traversing one secret realm after another, they finally arrived at the secret realm where the innate treasures were kept.

"Great Venerable One, how many innate treasures does our human race possess?" Xu Chen asked mysteriously.

"Five items, but only two are in the treasury."

"One is a defensive innate treasure, and the other is a killing innate treasure."

After entering the secret realm.

This secret realm seems to be divided into yin and yang.

"Thousand Shields".

A giant shield, entirely black but revealing upon closer inspection to be composed of vibrant colors, appeared before Xu Chen.

"A supreme innate treasure." Xu Chen suddenly remembered the seven-colored bracelet that had been gathering dust in the spiritual treasure space, and felt that he should also collect this supreme innate treasure.

"With your current strength, as long as you're not particularly unlucky, you should be able to collect all of this innate treasure."

"When you borrow another innate treasure, I can't even imagine how much trouble those Saint Venerables will have when they see you after you advance to the Great Venerable Realm." An interesting scene suddenly came to the mind of Great Venerable Qingzhu.

"They shouldn't be worried then. When I really advance to the Great Venerable level, they should be terrified!" Xu Chen's lips curled up as he looked at the other side of the secret realm.

Before him lay a jade bow, its surface entirely crimson.

"The Bloodthirsty Bow, a supreme innate treasure of the killing type," Grand Venerable Qingzhu introduced.

"I don't need to look at this. I want to borrow the Thousand Paths Shield." As Xu Chen spoke, the image of his senior sister popped into his mind.

Xu Chen missed Yang Ling'er terribly, but he felt that with his current strength, he would not be able to cross the area protected by the Great Sun Saint Venerable.

Xu Chen felt that he would only be confident of passing the test if he could at least master the Great Immortal's Speech Technique.

By then, he was confident that he could quietly bypass the control of the Great Sun Saint Venerable and enter the Great Sun Saint Domain in reverse.

Xu Chen looked at the Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystal in his hand and directly took out 1 trillion catties.

“Let’s start with 1000 years,” Xu Chenhao said defiantly.

Xu Chen dared to do this because he had not yet retrieved the Great Dao Origin Immortal Crystal that had been transmitted from the Dao Gate Domain.

"you really……"

"Forget it~"

With a wave of his hand, the seal of the Thousand Shields was broken.

"Remember to pay on time. If you borrow it late, the price will double afterwards," Grandmaster Qingzhu reminded him.

"understood."

Grand Venerable Qingzhu led Xu Chen away from the Human Race Treasure Vault Realm.

Xu Chen then used the teleportation point left by the Human Emperor Temple in that star sea area to teleport directly there.

At this moment, after returning to the Green Bamboo Secret Realm, the Great Venerable Qingzhu looked at the food box that had been placed in the pavilion and couldn't help but laugh.

In an unfamiliar starry sea, with a spatial fluctuation, Xu Chen's figure emerged from the void.

Looking at the somewhat barren star sea around him, Xu Chen waved his hand and released the Thousand Machine Ship, which began to fly according to the map given by Yang Wanshan.

"After exploring this starry sea, I'll go to the Dao Gate Domain to see if I can collect all ten beads from the string I have." Xu Chen looked at the seven-colored bracelet he had almost forgotten about after advancing to the Great Luo Realm and couldn't help but use it.

Seven innate spiritual treasures of different colors were inlaid on the Thousand Machine Ship, and then beams of light of seven different colors shot forward, opening a long spatial passage.

The space tunnels stretch for billions of miles, allowing thousands of ships to pass through in an instant.

"Its power is considerable. I'll use it next time I encounter a Grand Venerable Realm expert."

In the vast starry sea, there is a Great Venerable-level world, surrounded by thirty-six Great Luo-level worlds, and on the outermost perimeter are ten thousand Golden Immortal-level worlds.

As for worlds below the Golden Immortal level, they are countless and endless.

"The Star Ash Clan, I never imagined that after so many years of development, they would actually elevate the main world to the Great Venerable level."

"Not bad, quite good~" Xu Chen stroked his chin, as if he were admiring his masterpiece.

"Fellow Daoist, what brings you to the territory of my Star Gray Clan?" A teleportation portal appeared not far from Xu Chen.

A highly respected and powerful figure, dressed in a robe adorned with countless stars and with a star stone embedded between his brows, stepped out.

Xu Chen didn't hide his aura; instead, he released it openly.

"My sect is going to move here, and I'm currently looking for a suitable location."

"Your Star Gray Clan is developing well and has the potential to become a key affiliated race of my sect," Xu Chen said, looking at the Grand Venerable Realm expert.

"Fellow Daoist's tone is far too arrogant!"

"You dare to demand my clan's vassalage? I'd like to see if you have the right to say such things!"

Xu Chen's attitude instantly made the Star Gray Clan's Grand Venerable Realm expert blush, and a giant star-shaped hand reached out to grab Xu Chen.

"You may not know how rare this opportunity is."

Xu Chen threw out the seven-colored bracelet in his hand, and instantly the seven Great Dao Laws transformed into a cage, directly controlling the Great Venerable Realm expert.

"Your race has developed to this point, you must understand that the weak are destined to be conquered."

"Therefore, I hope that your Star Ash Clan can accept this."

Xu Chen arrived in front of the cages formed by the seven Great Daos.

"Even if the last member of my Star Gray Clan dies in battle, we will never become your vassal race!" a Grand Venerable Realm expert of the Star Gray Clan said angrily.

"That's what you think, but your people don't think that way."

Xu Chen gently touched the brow of the Star Gray Clan's Grand Venerable Realm expert with both hands, and a dreamlike light flew into the star stone between the expert's brows.

"I am a kind-hearted person, and even if I were to be a villain, I would not want to cause too much bloodshed."

"To be precise, your Star Ash race's moral standards are in line with mine, so even if you don't submit, I will find a way to subdue your race."

Under Xu Chen's gaze, the Star Gray Clan Grand Venerable Realm expert in the cage fell into a deep sleep.

In the dream of that Great Venerable Realm expert, he became Xu Chen's alien slave, loyally serving the Xu family and the Great Stream Sect for millions of years.

Finally, the Great Stream Sect saw his talent for cultivation and provided him with resources to explore the Star Sea Domain.

Now that he has built a considerable business, he is thinking of returning to the Daxi Sect.

After finishing a dream, when I opened my eyes again, I saw the young master of the Xu family.

"Greetings, Young Master. I'm so glad to finally meet you."

"The young master's charm is still as dazzling as ever."

The Star Gray Clan Grand Venerable Realm expert knelt respectfully before Xu Chen, his eyes filled with only the joy of reunion after parting.

"You've worked hard all these years. In a while, the sect will be moving here, and I will help you clear away any obstacles that may arise," Xu Chen said leisurely.

"It is a disgrace for me to make a move, young master. Please witness my performance, young master. The Star Gray Clan was founded for this very moment!" The Star Gray Clan's Grand Luo Realm expert was filled with fighting spirit.
