High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

at the same time.

Longyuan Mountain, the Holy Venerable's Residence.

The afternoon sun filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the garden's cobblestone path.

Chen Yuan was lying on a deck chair in the garden, holding a cup of spiritual tea, leisurely watching the spring scenery.

The shadow shrank to the size of a palm and lay on his stomach snoring.

Life is comfortable.

Just then, there was a knock on the mansion gate.

Sensing that familiar presence, Chen Tianling walked out from the side courtyard and opened the main gate.

"Chief Zhou." Chen Tianling nodded slightly and stepped aside to make way. "Please come in."

Zhou Qing nodded with a smile.

Follow Chen Tianling through the front yard to the garden.

"Chief Chen, you seem to be living a very leisurely life," Zhou Qing said with a smile.

Chen Yuan sat up.

Lift the shadowy figure that was lying on his stomach and put it aside.

The shadowy figure grunted twice in dissatisfaction.

It's always like this~

Then he turned over and went back to sleep.

"Chief Zhou, what brings you here?" Chen Yuan smiled. "Did something happen that you suddenly came all this way?"

"Good thing." Zhou Qing sat down opposite him, took out a spatial ring from his pocket, and handed it to Chen Yuan with the help of his power.

"The Kingdom of Amelica has sent the compensation."

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"Thirty million high-grade spirit crystals and ten thousand top-grade spirit crystals, not a single one is missing."

Zhou Qing looked at Chen Yuan and said sincerely:

"Chief Chen, you earned all these things through your own abilities. Without you, the Kingdom of America would not have been able to compensate so readily."

"Therefore, these spirit crystals should rightfully belong to you."

Chen Yuan was somewhat surprised.

He thought these spirit crystals would go directly into the Dragon Martial Division's treasury, but Zhou Qing didn't want a single one and sent them all to him.

"Chief Zhou, you're being too polite." Chen Yuan took the spatial ring and scanned it with his divine sense.

The spirit crystals were neatly stacked, with the top-grade spirit crystals radiating a rich spiritual energy and the high-grade spirit crystals piled up like small mountains.

He did not take inventory.

The number that Zhou Qing personally delivered couldn't be wrong.

Chen Yuan's mind stirred.

He stored 10,000 top-grade spirit crystals and 10 million high-grade spirit crystals into his infinite storage space.

Then he handed the spatial ring back to Zhou Qing.

"Put the remaining 20 million high-grade spirit crystals into the national treasury."

Zhou Qing was stunned.

Twenty million high-grade spirit crystals is no small amount.

Although the Kingdom of Amelica lost a lot of money this time, it was because they were cornered by Chen Yuan.

Without Chen Yuan's intervention, not only would there be no compensation, but the Great Xia Kingdom would also have to be constantly on guard against the infiltration of the Dark Abyss.

Logically speaking...

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that all of these things belong to Chen Yuan alone.

Now Chen Yuan not only didn't take it all, but actually returned a portion of it?!

"Chief Chen, this..." Zhou Qing opened his mouth, "How can this be? These are all yours..."

"Chief Zhou," Chen Yuan interrupted him, her tone casual.

"I only need enough spirit crystals. I have more than I can spend, so there's no point in having more."

He was telling the truth.

There are a full one million high-grade spirit crystals in the storage space, plus the ten million I just received, I can't possibly spend them all no matter how I squander them.

Although top-grade spirit crystals are rare, they are merely icing on the cake for him.

Instead of letting them lie dormant in storage spaces, it's better to put them in the national treasury for those in need.

"It's more useful to keep it in the national treasury than to keep it on me." Chen Yuan picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"Don't refuse."

Zhou Qing stared at the spatial ring in his hand and remained silent for a long while.

Twenty million high-grade spirit crystals.

Chen Yuan said she didn't want it, and that was that.

Such magnanimity, such broad-mindedness...

He took a deep breath, put away the spatial ring, stood up, and solemnly clasped his hands in a salute to Chen Yuan.

"Chief Chen, I thank you on behalf of the Great Xia Kingdom."

Chen Yuan waved his hand: "Alright, alright, stop with the nonsense, sit down and have some tea."

Zhou Qing smiled and sat down again.

The two chatted for a while longer.

Chen Yuan explained the situation in Japan: the Sixth Elder had successfully taken over, and his clone had settled down in Sakura City.

The Japanese were more cooperative than expected with the troops stationed in Daxia, and Onodera and his men were excessively attentive.

Zhou Qing just smiled and didn't say anything more.

He had long seen through the character of those people from Japan.

......

Half an hour later, Zhou Qing got up to take his leave.

"Chief Chen, I won't disturb your rest any longer. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything."

"it is good."

Chen Tianling escorted Zhou Qing out of the mansion.

After leaving Longyuan Mountain, Zhou Qing returned directly to the headquarters of the Dragon Martial Division.

It arrived at the national treasury.

He took out the spatial ring containing twenty million high-grade spirit crystals and handed it to the treasury administrators.

"Store."

The manager took the ring and scanned it, then froze.

"Master Si... twenty million high-grade spirit crystals?!"

"Um."

......

at the same time.

Longyuan Mountain, the Holy Venerable's Residence.

Chen Yuan lay back down in the chair, picked up the teacup, and was about to take another sip.

Suddenly, that familiar mechanical voice echoed in my mind.

[Ding! Detected that the host has generously gifted a large amount of spirit crystals. The hidden achievement 'Generous Gift' has been achieved!]

Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment.

Then a smile appeared on his lips.

He had deliberately killed those martial saints in hopes of triggering a "massacre" achievement, but nothing came of it.

Later, forcing America to pay compensation did not trigger any achievements in this regard.

Now, casually "donating" 20 million spirit crystals has triggered something unexpected.

This system is really hard to figure out.

However, this unexpected joy is definitely much more enjoyable than something you deliberately seek out!

[Bonus Reward: Saint-grade Supreme Treasure "God-Sealing Mirror" x1]

"The Mirror of Gods: A supreme treasure of the sealing type. It can forcibly imprison all living beings below the Saint Realm within its space. It can even trap enemies at the peak of the Martial Saint Realm. The worse the target's condition, the higher the success rate of imprisonment."

The space within the mirror is entirely under the control of the host, who can inflict various forms of torture on the imprisoned target.

The current maximum number of people detained is one thousand.

Chen Yuan's eyes lit up after reading the introduction.

A supreme treasure of the sealing type?

This is good stuff.

Although he had used many methods before, they were all basically based on the principle of "killing".

When encountering an enemy, you either kill them with a punch or pierce them with a spear.

Now, with this Mirror of Deification, we have another option.

If you find someone you want to keep alive, lock them up and interrogate them slowly.

Moreover, he has complete control over the space inside the mirror, and can torture it however he wants!

"The world in the mirror..." Chen Yuan thought to himself with secret delight.

Although with his current strength, there are no enemies on Earth that he needs to "imprison" anymore.

But those old monsters deep within the Heavenly Cave might emerge one day.

That's when the mirror will come in handy.

"receive!"

A thought crossed my mind.

An ancient bronze mirror appeared out of thin air in his palm.

The mirror was about the size of a palm, dark gold in color, with a smooth, water-like surface and densely engraved patterns along its edges.

Holding it in your hand, you can feel its heavy weight, like holding a miniature mountain.

With a thought, Chen Yuan probed his divine sense into the mirror.

Inside was a gray, misty space that seemed boundless, like an abandoned world.

Space was entirely under his control.

He can make it windy and rainy inside, he can make it thunder and lightning, or he can make it completely silent.

If he so desires, the people locked inside can enjoy a hundred different kinds of "treatment".

"Not bad." Chen Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

He looked at the array patterns on the edge of the mirror again and understood what was going on.

This mirror has a very high limit; it can even trap a peak Martial Saint.

However, the success rate of detention is related to the target's condition; the weaker the target, the easier it is to detain them.

If it's a Martial Saint at their peak, in their prime, the success rate is probably not high.

But what if the other party is already critically injured...?

That's a piece of cake.

"I don't need it for now, let's keep it for now."

With a thought, Chen Yuan sent the Mirror of Conferred Gods into the infinite storage space as a stream of light.

He lay back in his chair, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

Exchanging 20 million high-grade spirit crystals for a Saint-level top-grade sealed treasure is an incredibly good deal.
