Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 553 - : 553

Chapter 553: 553

“`

Such a pity.

White Monarch True Person realized this, and his heart was filled with regret.

He had only taken seven disciples in his lifetime.

Four of them had already fallen, and none of the remaining three had solidified their Golden Core.

Although his own cultivation level was extremely profound, he felt he had let down his sect when it came to nurturing the younger generation.

The strength of the sect was not just supported by a few Nascent Souls who were several hundred years old.

Meeting Wang Chen today, White Monarch True Person had truly taken a liking to him and even considered using another method to recruit Wang Chen into his tutelage to make up for this regret.

But it turned out Wang Chen “had a master” already!

Well, well, well!

White Monarch True Person quenched the little thought in his mind and took out a three-foot-long, arm-thick piece of metal from his Sumeru Ring and handed it to Wang Chen, “This piece of Skyforge Mysterious Metal was obtained by this True Person many years ago by chance; let it be for your future Lifebound Magic Treasure.”

After a cultivator condenses a Golden Core, they will refine a Lifebound Magic Treasure to accommodate their soul.

Many Purple Mansions with prospects of solidifying their Pills would thus prepare materials in advance.

The materials for refining a magical treasure are, of course, precious and rare. Without the support of a family, one does not know how much time and effort it would take to gather them, maybe even leading to bankruptcy.

White Monarch True Person had saved on a letter of recommendation, so he used this piece of Skyforge Mysterious Metal as compensation instead.

“Many thanks, True Person!”

Wang Chen accepted the generous gift and expressed his thanks with a bow.

White Monarch True Person waved his hand, “It’s nothing.”

Next, as the Guardian of the Yin Nether Realm and on behalf of the sect, he was to give Wang Chen his official reward.

That was one hundred thousand merit points!

The merit points of the West Sea Sect were precious and not easy to obtain. Initially, when Wang Chen joined the sect, he only received a few thousands in reward.

A hundred thousand merit points was undoubtedly an extravagant reward.

However, he had saved over a hundred fellow sect members in the Evil Spirit Illusionary Array and had destroyed the Heart of the Evil Nest at the critical moment, averting a catastrophe, with no equal in merit.

Such a reward was deservedly appropriate.

As long as Wang Chen did not squander it recklessly, he could completely use these merit points to exchange for various rare materials from the sect and then commission a Refinement Master to customize an exceptional magical treasure for him.

White Monarch True Person giving the Skyforge Mysterious Metal to Wang Chen also had an implicit meaning.

“After you return to the sect…”

This Golden Core True Person said, “The sect will have another reward for you.”

Eligibility for entering the vein is also included; under normal circumstances, there should also be Pills, Talismans, Cultivation Techniques, and Spiritual Artifacts as material rewards.

As the leading Immortal Gate of the Mountain and Sea Realm, the West Sea Sect is never stingy in this regard.

“The Teleportation Array can be repaired in no more than seven days.”

In the end, White Monarch True Person said to Wang Chen, “You will stay here during this period. If you have any questions about your cultivation, feel free to ask this True Person.”

He still wanted to form a good connection with Wang Chen.

Wang Chen was delighted, “Thank you, True Person!”

White Monarch True Person gave him one day to handle his own matters before returning.

The first thing Wang Chen did after leaving the Law Hall was to go to the civilian area to “terminate his lease.”

“My lord, are you leaving?”

Learning that Wang Chen was about to leave, Xu An was extremely disheartened, his nose turned sour, and he was nearly in tears, “So soon?”

His mother gently took him into her arms and managed a smile, “Immortal Master, please forgive us, Xu An he…”

Wang Chen waved his hand, stopping them from continuing, “I understand.”

After thinking for a moment, Wang Chen took out a pill bottle from his Storage Bag and handed it to Xu An’s mother, “The pills inside this bottle, grind a bit every day and mix it with water for him to take; it should completely eradicate the Yin Sha Energy within his body.”

“`

Xu An’s problem was not significant, and he had received recuperation during this period. One or two suitable pills were enough to restore his health.

He could even practice cultivation to enter the path.

Then, Wang Chen left behind a hundred catties of Spirit Rice. “Having met is a kind of fate, I hope there will be an opportunity to meet again in the future.”

In reality, everyone understood that this was almost impossible.

After bidding farewell to the mother and son, Wang Chen went to the Carefree Pavilion.

He had sent a Talisman Message to Yun Feifei earlier, and she arranged to meet Wang Chen at the Carefree Pavilion.

In a few days, Wang Chen would return to the Sect, and considering Yun Feifei was a friend, it was natural to say goodbye before leaving.

However, when he arrived at the agreed-upon private room, he saw that it was filled with men and women.

A dozen young cultivators were gathered for a feast, among whom Wang Chen recognized Yun Feifei and Sun Yulian, but Li Mengyan was not there.

Besides the two women, Wang Chen also saw several familiar fellow Sect members.

“Senior Brother Wang!”

Upon seeing Wang Chen at the door, Yun Feifei immediately revealed a beautiful smile. “We were just waiting for you, come here and have a seat.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than the atmosphere in the room suddenly cooled down.

Some fellow Disciples looked at each other, and a few regarded Wang Chen with unfriendly eyes.

Immediately next to Yun Feifei, a seat was deliberately left vacant—it was reserved for Wang Chen!

Yun Feifei noticed the others’ peculiar gazes and quickly introduced, “This is Senior Brother Wang Chen, a member of the Evil-Suppressing Army.”

Several faces instantly turned embarrassed.

The unprecedented calamity that befell Weifa City was successfully overcome, and the victory owed much to the efforts of the Evil-Suppressing Army—everyone knew that many Disciples had paid with their lives.

As a result, the members of the Evil-Suppressing Army now held a higher status among their fellow Sect members than before.

They were not ones who could be easily offended!

Even those who envied Wang Chen for receiving special attention from Yun Feifei had no choice but to pay their respects, “Greetings to Senior Brother Wang.”

There was no helping it since all those present at the gathering were cultivators who stayed behind in the city. Regardless of their cultivation level or their backgrounds, they were all implicitly beneath Wang Chen.

Wang Chen returned the greetings one by one and then took a seat next to Yun Feifei.

Yun Feifei personally poured him a glass of Spiritual Wine and said with sparkling eyes, “Senior Brother Wang, please tell us about your triumph over the Evil Nest.”

Her eyes conveyed the admiration and longing of a young girl, and coupled with her high beauty, she was indeed hard to refuse.

“Actually, there isn’t much to tell,”

Wang Chen shook his head, “I was just lucky, and I managed to survive by chance.”

After a pause, he said to Yun Feifei, “Junior Sister Yun, I will be returning to the Sect in a few days.”

“What?”

This news greatly surprised Yun Feifei. “You’re going back to the Mountain and Sea Realm, not continuing to pioneer here?”

She had originally planned to join forces with Wang Chen to develop her own domain.

But now Wang Chen was heading home first.

This left Yun Feifei’s heart filled with disappointment, and her expression turned sad.

Without sufficient merits, she definitely couldn’t return.

“Yes,”

Wang Chen said with a faint smile, “I came today to bid you farewell.”

There are no eternal banquets under the heavens. On the long and winding road of cultivation towards eternal life, it is ordinary for connections to come and go.

This farewell was likely to be a final one.
