Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1124: The Golden Harvest Journey

Anxiety surely wasn’t real, but the urgent need for Spirit Stones within Mysterious Origin Dark Immortal Mansion was indeed true.

Without the replenishment of high-quality Spirit Stones, it would take a very long time for Fleeting Moment Tower to recover to a barely usable state.

Earning Spirit Stones was once again placed at the top of Wang Chen’s priorities.

What he didn’t expect was for Yuanyuan to secretly approach him, "Master, do you want to earn lots of Spirit Stones?"

Wang Chen couldn’t help but pat the little girl’s head, "Yes."

Yuanyuan tilted her head, saying, "I can help Master earn Spirit Stones!"

Wang Chen chuckled, "How would you earn them?"

He knew that Yuanyuan had a talent for treasure hunting, but the Haotian Realm was too vast, and countless treasures left by predecessors had long been discovered and excavated; to find any was easier said than done.

Yuanyuan’s talent surely had its limits.

In fact, Wang Chen had considered still employing the old method, which was to burn Heavenly Merit to transform fate for treasure hunting.

After slaying the high monk Fa Hai from the Buddhist Sect, he reaped a whole three million Heavenly Merit, enough for him to squander for a long time.

However, as his Cultivation Level advanced, Wang Chen realized that this kind of short-cut method could potentially bring unexpected consequences to him.

Fate and opportunity are not to be trifled with at will!

Intuition told Wang Chen that if he frequently rigged the system to increase his luck, there might come a day when he would suffer a backlash.

So while Heavenly Merit is available for use, one must never develop an addictive habit!

"This thing!"

Yuanyuan showed a piece of broken jade, saying, "Master, I can tell if there’s something good inside."

Ancient Sealed Jade!

A flash of Spiritual Light crossed Wang Chen’s mind.

Right, Yuanyuan’s innate talent can be fully utilized in jade gambling; this way, he wouldn’t need to keep rigging the system!

Wang Chen’s thoughts raced, and he immediately made a decision, "Alright, let’s give it a try."

He wanted to see if Yuanyuan’s ability was truly effective, and if it was feasible, then with the countless Immortal Cities in the vastness of Haotian, they could run from one to the next, earning enough Spirit Stones before returning.

No sooner said than done, Wang Chen informed Bai Susu, had her look after the home, and then left the Mysterious Origin Dark Immortal Mansion with Yuanyuan.

For the first stop on his gold-digging journey, he still chose the Luodu Immortal City.

Luodu, after all, is a Mysterious Grade Immortal City, where the Immortal Gathering is super large, and there are some proprietors specially engaged in jade gambling business.

Wang Chen first visited the place to understand the general situation, then he let Yuanyuan revert to her original form and hide in his bosom.

In that way, while observing ancient sealed jades, she could give him precise hints.

On the first attempt, Yuanyuan only chose one piece of Ancient Sealed Jade.

And from this piece of Ancient Sealed Jade, Wang Chen unraveled a block of ten-thousand-year-old Golden Marrow weighing more than ten jins, worth over one hundred and fifty Upper Spirit Stones!

The initial victory greatly lifted Wang Chen’s spirits, and after a few days, he made another move.

With the Thousand Mechanisms Changing to alter his appearance, and the Taiqing True Concealing Skill to adjust his aura, his camouflage techniques were so strong that even Divine Transformation Big Shots might not be able to see through him directly, so naturally, he didn’t need to worry about being exposed.

The second time he acquired three pieces of Ancient Sealed Jade, which contained items valued at over two hundred Upper Spirit Stones.

Then after the third attempt, Wang Chen left Luodu with Yuanyuan.

Heading to other Immortal Cities to hunt for treasures.

Yuanyuan’s ability was not endlessly sustainable; after a few uses, she needed time to recuperate and recharge. Wang Chen used the Magical Treasure Flying Ship to carry both of them, and the time on the way was just right for rest and recuperation.

He followed the Nine States Geomantic Chart, specifically seeking Immortal Cities above the Profound Level, first scouting them out before making his move, never more than three times, then leaving nonchalantly afterwards.

As for the treasures he unearthed, Wang Chen either sold them to the local Four Seas Commerce Association or the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

Although the prices offered by these two were often quite low, the advantage lay in the convenience, safety, and ease of liquidating his finds.

All along the way, the reserves of Spirit Stones in Wang Chen’s Cangqing Ring climbed steadily!

Yuanyuan’s treasure-hunting ability was truly remarkable; although it was like opening a blind box every time, her innate talent was like having a pair of X-ray eyes that could easily see through Ancient Sealed Jades that even Divine Transformation Big Shots couldn’t discern, allowing her to find real treasures.

After visiting more than a dozen Immortal Cities, Wang Chen felt somewhat addicted to the thrill.

However, as the saying goes, walk the night road too often and you’re bound to encounter ghosts. Just as he left a Mysterious Grade Immortal City and had flown only a few hundred li, two Magical Treasure Flying Ships began pursuing him from behind.

The two Flying Ships came with aggressive momentum. Not only were they extremely fast, but they also directly opened fire on Wang Chen’s Flying Warship without any prior negotiation or warning.

Two golden beams shot out from the bow of the ships, forming a pincer movement to the left and right, with incredibly formidable power.

Wang Chen had sensed the threat from behind from the beginning, and at the instant the pursuers launched their attack, he withdrew his Flying Warship and swiftly descended a hundred zhang.

He narrowly dodged the enemy’s ambush!

"Don’t run!"

After their first strike missed, the hatches of the two Flying Ships opened in unison, and dozens of Cultivators streaked out one after another, with Flying Swords and Magic Artifacts whistling through the air as they relentlessly pursued Wang Chen, like maggots clinging to bones.

Witnessing this, Wang Chen took a step mid-air and flew several li away, finally landing on the ground. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"Stop him!"

The same voice rang out again, and beams of Sword Light followed closely, relentlessly chasing Wang Chen.

This seemed to be a never-ending pursuit?

Inside, Wang Chen remained unmoved. He stopped dodging and, instead, raised his right arm with his fingers bent into a claw, and suddenly reached out through the air.

In the next moment, dozens of Flying Swords, each shining with different lights, along with various shapes of Magic Artifacts, clenched together as if grasped by an invisible giant hand, instantly crushed into a single mass.

"A True Immortal!"

A shrill voice suddenly rose, filled with infinite panic: "Run!"

But it was already too late.

Wang Chen formed a spell with his hands and shouted sternly, "Thunder Come."

As soon as he spoke, a succession of Thunderbolt Lightnings came crashing down from the sky, engulfing both Magical Treasure Flying Ships and the dozens of Cultivators within.

The Magical Treasure Flying Ships came equipped with their own Defensive Arrays, which activated automatically upon being struck by lightning, creating ripples of light.

Even though they shook violently, they managed to withstand the first wave of the attack.

However, the Cultivators weren’t so lucky; one by one, they fell from the sky, smoldering, their screams and wails filling the air.

Most of them had Body Protection treasures and had set up Mana Barriers around themselves, but under the assault of the divine power of the thunder, those with lower Cultivation Levels were instantly turned to ash, while the stronger ones were also struck down to the ground.

In an instant, casualties were heavy.

Only a few Golden Core cultivators still struggled to escape, but then a piercing Sword Light flashed by, and one head after another soared into the sky.

Immediately following, the two Flying Ships in the sky suddenly burst into a tremendous fire, splitting in two!

In just a few breaths, the entire attacking party was wiped out.

With the spirit of considering even a small mosquito to be meat, Wang Chen cleaned up the battlefield, collecting twenty or thirty Storage Bags and three Sumeru Rings.

Then he swiftly departed.
