Everyone's a Master: I'll reward my disciples ten thousandfold!

Chen Yuan stood up from the base of the wall, and bits of broken brick fell down his robes.

He raised his hand and dusted off his sleeves, the lingering emerald light on his fingertips slowly seeping into his skin.

The foundation is laid on the first floor.

The Qi Sea in his dantian circulated smoothly, and the liquid spiritual energy flowed slowly around the Dao Platform, each strand being a hundred times purer than that of the Qi Refining stage.

It felt incredibly reassuring.

It's completely different from the ethereal spiritual energy I had during the Qi Refining stage.

Chen Yuan cracked his knuckles as he moved his wrists.

comfortable.

This body finally has real confidence.

He brought up the system panel, and a blueprint emitting a pale golden halo appeared in his inventory.

[Nine Heavens Spirit Gathering Tower (Legendary Building Blueprint)]

[Effect 1: Once completed, it can cover an area of ​​hundreds of miles, increasing the concentration of spiritual energy within the region to thirty times that of the outside world.]

[Effect 2: Cultivation speed within the tower increases tenfold.]

[Effect 3: Automatically generates 100 medium-grade spirit stones daily.]

Chen Yuan stared at the four lines of text and read them over and over again three times.

The concentration of spiritual energy within a radius of 100 miles is thirty times higher.

The cultivation speed is increased tenfold.

You can get 100 mid-grade spirit stones for free every day.

nice one.

But he did not extract it immediately.

Lin Xiao has three chances to get a refund left today.

He had already figured out the system's rules. The higher the grade of the item bestowed upon the disciple, the greater the probability of triggering a critical hit, and the higher the grade of the critical hit return.

Previously, I bestowed weeds, but in return, I received the rare and precious Primordial Bodhi Seed.

What if you were granted a legendary architectural blueprint?

Chen Yuan rubbed the hem of his clothes with his fingertips.

He bestowed the Nine Heavens Spirit Gathering Pagoda upon Lin Xiao.

The gambling system can yield treasures even higher than legendary ones.

Even if there's no critical hit return, Lin Xiao's tower is still a Guiyuan Sect tower, so the damage is done within the sect and there's no real risk.

Chen Yuan put away the system panel, put his hands behind his back, and stepped out of the dilapidated corridor.

The smoke and dust had not yet cleared, and rubble and broken stones covered half the road.

He strode steadily across the ruins, his Foundation Establishment stage spiritual pressure flowing naturally around him, pushing away all the drifting dust.

The moment they stepped out of the corridor, two figures knelt down with a thud.

Lin Xiao.

Su Muhan.

The two knelt side by side on the broken bricks of the front hall, their foreheads touching the ground and their backs taut.

Lin Xiao spoke first.

"The sect leader has bestowed upon me the Daoist principles and enabled me to break through to a higher realm. His kindness and virtue are immeasurable; I could never repay him even if I were to perish!"

Su Muhan's voice trembled.

"The sect leader risked his life to personally demonstrate the Foundation Establishment method; for me, death is the only option in this life."

Chen Yuan paused in his steps.

I can't shake the habit of threatening suicide at the drop of a hat.

His expression was indifferent.

"stand up."

The two did not move.

"Kneeling for too long will hurt your knees and interfere with your cultivation."

Lin Xiao's eyes were red, and he stood up without saying a word.

Su Muhan stood up, her head slightly lowered, her hands hanging neatly at her sides.

Chen Yuan glanced at the two of them.

It's time to get down to business.

He flipped his right hand over.

Legendary building blueprints were retrieved from the system inventory.

A blinding golden light burst forth from between his five fingers, instantly illuminating the dimly lit front hall as bright as day.

Lin Xiao's legs suddenly went weak.

The oppressive aura emanating from the blueprints made it hard for him to breathe.

Chen Yuan held the blueprints in his palm.

Bathed in golden light, his expression was as calm as a stagnant pool.

He glanced at the blueprint casually, then rolled it up haphazardly into a paper tube and tossed it to Lin Xiao.

"Take it. We'll study it later and see if we can build it."

"If that doesn't work, you can use it as a table leg."

The blueprint flashed with golden light and crashed into Lin Xiao's arms.

Lin Xiao held the blueprint tightly with both hands, and his arms suddenly sank down uncontrollably.

He looked down at his chest.

The phantom of the Nine Heavens Spirit Gathering Tower appeared faintly on the blueprint, and the vast spiritual power made his hands go numb.

This is legendary.

The sect leader told him to use it to prop up the table legs.

These two words crashed violently in Lin Xiao's mind.

The sect leader said this thing was "barely presentable" and suggested using it to "push up table legs".

In the eyes of the sect leader, this treasure that could trigger such a celestial phenomenon was probably only comparable to a piece of blue brick.

Lin Xiao dared not think any further.

He had no right to speculate on just how terrifying the sect leader's trump cards were.

Su Muhan stood to one side, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, her eyes fixed on the rolled-up blueprints carelessly tossed aside, barely daring to breathe.

Chen Yuan stood still.

In my mind, the system notification sound exploded.

[Ding! Successfully bestowed the "Legendary Building Blueprint - Nine Heavens Spirit Gathering Tower" upon disciple Lin Xiao!]

[Lin Xiao's remaining refund attempts for today: 2.]

coming.

Chen Yuan held his breath.

[Trigger - 100,000x critical hit return!!]

One hundred thousand times.

Chen Yuan's breath caught in his throat for a moment.

The previous highest was 10,000 times, but this time it has been raised by an entire order of magnitude.

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained a mythical-level building—"Chaos Creation Palace"!]

【Chaos Creation Palace (Mythical Building)】

[Rank: Mythical (Highest known rank)]

[Effect 1: The Dao Palace becomes a self-contained micro-world, containing three thousand Dao Platforms of Laws. Disciples can directly comprehend the laws of heaven and earth on these platforms, increasing their cultivation efficiency a hundredfold.]

[Effect 2: Within the Dao Palace's coverage area, the spiritual energy concentration increases to one hundred times that of the outside world, and the quality of the spiritual energy is automatically purified to the Immortal level.]

[Effect 3: Automatically produces 500 high-grade spirit stones daily, with a chance to condense rare and precious materials.]

[Effect 4: The flow of time within the Dao Palace is adjustable, up to a maximum acceleration of ten times. One day outside is equivalent to ten days inside the Dao Palace.]

[Note: This building is of the standard for a direct descendant's Daoist temple, and there are no more than three such buildings in all the heavens and myriad realms.]

Chen Yuan carefully read each line twice.

The veins on the back of the hand are slightly bulging.

Mythical level.

The highest known rank.

There are no more than three such places in all the heavens and myriad realms.

It increases cultivation speed by a hundred times, increases spiritual energy concentration by a hundred times, and even comes with immortal-level purification.

The most outrageous one is the fourth one: time flow rate control.

One day outside feels like ten days inside.

The disciple was in seclusion for a month, while only three days had passed in the outside world.

The speed at which one's cultivation level increases will be compressed to an extremely terrifying degree.

As the disciple's cultivation level increases dramatically, his cultivation level will also increase exponentially in tandem.

Once this thing is built, the Guiyuan Sect's expansion will be unstoppable.

Chen Yuan slowly raised his head.

Lin Xiao remained standing in place, still holding the blueprint for the Nine Heavens Spirit Gathering Tower, his bloodshot eyes filled with fervent reverence.

Lin Xiao's hands, holding the blueprints, trembled uncontrollably.

This is not excitement.

It is fear.

The word "legendary" was making him feel like he couldn't breathe.

The best thing he had ever seen in the Guiyuan Sect was the demon-slaying sword that Chen Yuan had given him.

That top-grade spiritual weapon made him feel that he had no regrets in this life.

But now.

The sect leader tossed him a legendary architectural blueprint like a piece of waste paper.

They even said, "It'll do even if it's just to prop up the table legs."

Lin Xiao's knees buckled, and he knelt down heavily.

"Master!"

He held the blueprints high above his head with both hands, his voice trembling.

"This is a divine artifact of sect-protecting quality! My cultivation is too low; even a glance at it feels like it would shorten my lifespan. If I were to actually use it to prop up a table leg..."

He swallowed hard.

"They'll be punished by heaven!"

"Please, Master, retract your order!"

Su Muhan, standing beside him, turned pale and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"Yes, yes, yes! Master, this thing is terrifying! My legs went weak just standing next to it..."

Chen Yuan's eyelids twitched slightly as he looked at the two of them.

One person knelt down and begged for a refund.

One of them was so scared that he was trembling.

He forcibly suppressed the upward curve of his lips, stood with his hands behind his back, and let out a cold snort.

"Too narrow-minded."

The four words struck, and both disciples froze.

Chen Yuan spoke very softly, but every word was clearly audible.

"A tattered blueprint can instill awe in you, leave you helpless, and make you kneel down and beg for mercy."

He paused for a moment.

"Are you disciples of my Guiyuan Sect, or beggars picking up trash on the roadside?"

Lin Xiao trembled violently.

"In the future, follow me to traverse all the heavens and travel through all the worlds, and there will be mountains of things even better than this."

Chen Yuan tilted his head slightly and glanced at him.

"Will you kneel down and cry then too?"

Lin Xiao's lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Trample through all the heavens.

Travel through all realms.

Things even better than the legendary ones are piled up like mountains.

Lin Xiao clenched his fist tightly.

Given the terrifying power the sect leader has displayed, why would he need to lie to him?

The way he held a blueprint as if it were a divine object probably made him look like a beggar guarding his food in the eyes of the sect leader.

The sect leader is testing your resolve!

The legendary blueprints were just bait.

The sect leader was using this opportunity to warn him against his worldly heart, which was easily blinded by external things.

All divine objects are merely tools; only the Daoist heart can endure forever!

Lin Xiao, her eyes red, suddenly stood up, carefully put the blueprints away from her body, and straightened her back.

"Disciple understands!"

"In Master's eyes, all beings are equal; divine beings are no different from wild grass!"

"I was just caught up in the illusion; I will never do it again!"

Su Muhan, who was standing next to him, also came to her senses and nodded vigorously.

"This disciple has learned much!"

A hint of a smile flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes.

What does it mean for all beings to be equal? ​​What does it mean for divine creatures to be no different from wild grass?

He simply doesn't have anything that can rival the legendary level right now.

He kept the mythical Chaos Creation Palace in the system a closely guarded secret, without even having come up with a proper excuse for it.

But his face remained completely expressionless; he simply gave a faint "hmm."

If the disciples insist on thinking about more profound things, then let them think as they please.

You won't lose out by doing things your way.

Chen Yuan focused his attention on the system panel, his gaze sweeping over the attributes of the Chaos Creation Palace once again.

Mythical grade, the highest known grade.

There are no more than three such places in all the heavens and myriad realms.

It contains a platform with three thousand laws, increasing cultivation efficiency a hundredfold.

The spiritual energy concentration is increased a hundredfold, automatically purifying it to the immortal level.

It produces 500 high-grade spirit stones daily, and even comes with a tenfold time acceleration.

The more I look at it, the more outrageous it becomes.

Once this thing is created, disciples can cultivate in seclusion inside it, and with the added time acceleration, the actual efficiency will be a thousand times that of normal cultivation.

The disciple's cultivation level increased dramatically.

The system's synchronous feedback mechanism will add the disciple's cultivation level to him in real time.

This is takeoff.

While other sect leaders were still worrying about how to get through the Qi Refining stage, he was already laying the groundwork for ascension.

Chen Yuan lowered his gaze to the construction requirements at the very bottom of the blueprint.

It needs to be activated on a spiritual vein, consuming 30% of the builder's cultivation.

Spiritual veins.

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

The small, sealed spiritual vein beneath the dry well in Yujin Village.

He didn't activate it because he wasn't strong enough at the time.

He is now at the first level of Foundation Establishment. Although it hurts to lose 30% of his cultivation, it is by no means fatal.

It's worth taking the gamble.

He put away the panel and flicked his sleeve.

"Come out with me."

He strode out of the dilapidated hall with his hands behind his back.

Lin Xiao and Su Muhan quickly got up and followed in small steps.

The three of them passed through the courtyard wall that had collapsed halfway, went around the dense weeds on the back hill, and walked down the mountain.

The night wind blew back, carrying with it the faint roars of beasts in the distance.

The moonlight was dim, barely illuminating the dirt road beneath our feet.

Lin Xiao walked to the right rear, glancing occasionally at the sect leader's tall and straight back.

The sect leader walked at a steady pace.

With each step it took, the grass within several feet around it would all bend over outwards.

That was the natural overflow of spiritual power during the Foundation Establishment stage, effortless and without any effort.

The lingering force of that power was so overwhelming that he dared not overstep the bounds even by half a step.

Su Muhan walked to the left rear, her head slightly lowered.

The Master said that divine objects are no different from wild grass.

She reached out and touched the withered "Mind-Calming Grass" in her storage bag through her clothes.

At that time, the master casually plucked this blade of grass and handed it to her.

She held on tightly, daring not to let go, and managed to survive the crisis of her body exploding.

It turns out that her master had been enlightening her ever since he bestowed this herb upon her.

The three of them descended the mountain and walked along the path for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before arriving at Yujin Village.

The ruins lay silent in the night.

Chen Yuan walked straight toward the dry well.

Lin Xiao and Su Muhan stood by the well, unconsciously holding their breath.

The last time the sect leader passed by this place, he merely glanced at it coldly before turning and leaving.

Lin Xiao was certain that the sect leader had already figured out the secrets of the well, but the time was not yet right.

as predicted.

The sect leader's return today indicates he is about to take action.

Chen Yuan stood in front of the well, looking down.

The bottom of the well was pitch black.

The spiritual consciousness of someone in the Foundation Establishment stage can spread out and instantly cover an area of ​​hundreds of feet.

The small, sealed spiritual vein underground was clearly visible in his spiritual sense.

Frail and weak.

incomplete.

But it is indeed a vital artery.

enough.

Chen Yuan clenched his right hand in mid-air.

The mythical blueprint instantly appeared in his palm from the system's inventory.

In an instant, a burst of purple-gold light exploded in his hand.

A blinding beam of light shot straight into the sky, and the ground within a radius of several dozen feet began to tremble violently.

The rubble at the edge of the well fell down in a rustling sound, crashing into the bottomless abyss.

Lin Xiao and Su Muhan were both forced back three steps.

The oppressive force emanating from the blueprints was terrifying, far exceeding the legendary level of the previous attack by more than a hundred times.

Lin Xiao braced himself in a horse stance, his muscles taut to the limit, his shoes carving deep furrows into the gravel.

Su Muhan was forced to bend over, her hands gripping her knees tightly, her teeth grinding together in a sickening sound.

"This is--"

Lin Xiao's words caught in his throat.

He stared intently at the blueprint in the sect leader's hand.

At the center of the purple-gold light, the phantom of a magnificent palace was slowly coalescing.

Even though it was just an unformed outline, the ancient aura it exuded was suffocating to him.

That's not the Nine Heavens Spirit Gathering Pagoda at all.

The blueprints for the Nine Heavens Spirit Gathering Pagoda are a dazzling pure gold.

This one is a lofty, purplish-gold color.

It is of a higher rank.

It's even higher than the legendary level.

Lin Xiao's Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty.

The sect leader just gave him the legendary item to use as a table leg.

In the blink of an eye, he pulled out a blueprint of an even more terrifying quality.

The sect leader's trump cards are unfathomable.

I had just been crying my eyes out over that legendary card.

The vision is too narrow.

My master was right.

Su Muhan struggled to lift her head, her lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.
