Chapter 909 : A Master's Gift of Solar Gold

These individuals did not disappoint Eldrin Chen either. While their cultivation speed could not match the astonishing pace of Eldrin Chen, their foundations were exceptionally solid and profound.

In particular, Verdant Peak had already forged a Primordial Solar Immortal Sword [a divine sword imbued with the essence of the primordial sun]. His future breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core realm] was virtually assured.

Therefore, Eldrin Chen was naturally quite satisfied with them as well.

After casting a satisfied glance over the group, Eldrin Chen suddenly spoke. "Literature Abyss, come forward."

"Your disciple is here."

Literature Abyss Lu nodded and hurried over with utmost respect.

Eldrin Chen studied him carefully for a few moments, then said with a smile, "As my second disciple, you have contributed greatly to the clan over these years."

"Now you have cultivated to the Infant Soul 9th Tier [the ninth and final tier of the Infant Soul realm], not far from the Primordial Spirit Realm [the spiritual core realm]. As your master, I intend to lend you a helping hand."

With those words, Eldrin Chen retrieved from his sleeve a Treasure Box [an ornate container for precious items] shimmering with golden radiance.

He handed the Treasure Box to Literature Abyss Lu and declared, "The treasure within this box is called the 'Western Pole Great Mysterious Gold' [a legendary spiritual metal of profound mystery from the Western Pole]. It is a Primordial Solar Spiritual Object [a spiritual object infused with primordial solar essence] I obtained from slaying a Primordial Spirit Heavenly Demon [a demonic cultivator who has reached the Primordial Spirit realm]." The complete novel can be found at audio-novel .c om.

"Today, I bestow this upon you, to aid you in refining your Innate Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a supreme magical treasure born with the power of the primordial sun]."

"Master!"

Literature Abyss Lu's face trembled, revealing an expression of immense excitement.

This Western Pole Great Mysterious Gold [a legendary metal of immense spiritual power from the Western Pole] was an invaluable Primordial Solar Spiritual Object [a spiritual material infused with the essence of the primordial sun]. With this treasure, he could leverage the power of his Superior Grade Path Body [an exceptional innate physique ideal for cultivation] to elevate his Lifebound Spiritual Treasure [a magical treasure bound to a cultivator's life force] to the realm of a Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a magical treasure imbued with the power of the primordial sun].

And once he possessed a Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure to nourish him in return, his chances of breaking through to the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core cultivation realm] could be considered exceedingly great.

With this thought, Literature Abyss Lu promptly prostrated himself, kowtowing with utmost solemnity. "This disciple will never forget the grace of your teachings and this treasure, Master. Even should my body perish and soul scatter, your kindness shall remain engraved upon my being."

"What foolish talk is this?"

Eldrin Chen chuckled, unable to resist tapping his disciple's head lightly. "Your talent is not lacking. Focus on your cultivation. Who knows? Perhaps one day we shall meet again in the Immortal Realm [the realm of the immortals]."

After bestowing the treasure upon Literature Abyss Lu, Eldrin Chen turned his gaze to Withering Liana Gu and said, "Come here, Withering."

"Greetings, Grandmaster."

Seeing that Eldrin Chen had called her name, Withering Liana Gu felt a surge of both trepidation and elation. She understood perfectly well now why Eldrin Chen had summoned them today—it was to bestow upon them a precious treasure to aid their path to enlightenment.

Sure enough, as Withering Liana Gu stepped forward, Eldrin Chen retrieved a Treasure Box from his robes and said, "The treasure within this box is the Primordial Solar Spiritual Object known as the 'Primal Shadow Jade' [a jade imbued with the profound essence of primordial solar and lunar energies]. It was obtained by your master when he slew the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor."

"This object is supremely compatible with your Triple Lunar Constitution [a rare innate constitution attuned to the power of the three lunar phases]. By refining it into a Spiritual Treasure [an enchanted artifact], you can nurture it to evolve into a Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a treasure of immense power aligned with the primordial sun]."

Withering Liana Gu accepted the treasure, her heart overflowing with profound emotion.

Although she had anticipated this moment, the instant she held the precious object in her hands, a tremor ran through her soul. She immediately prostrated herself upon the Earthly Path [the ground, symbolizing humility before the Dao] and declared, "Your disciple, Withering Liana Gu, offers deepest gratitude for Grandmaster's generous gift."

"There is no need for such formality."

Eldrin Chen smiled gently before continuing, "Not only are you Exquisite's direct disciple, but your father and I have also been the closest of friends for over two millennia. There is no need for such distance between us."

As He spoke, He produced an ancient tome and a Primordial Spirit Pill [an elixir that aids in the breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit Realm]. "I heard that Elder Brother Elegant Verse recently achieved a breakthrough to the Half-Step Primordial Spirit Realm. Consider these two treasures my congratulatory gifts."

"This ancient text contains the legacy of the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor. Since Elder Brother Elegant Verse obtained the legacy of the 'Nine Dragon Demon Emperor' in his youth, it shares a lineage with this Black Dragon heritage."

"Take this text and the Primordial Spirit Pill to him. Perhaps they can help him advance another step on his path."

"This..."

Upon hearing this, Withering Liana Gu felt a tremor in her heart, unable to suppress its frantic beating as she said, "This disciple, on behalf of my father, thanks Grandmaster for this generous gift."

After bestowing the treasure upon Withering Liana Gu, Eldrin Chen then turned his gaze to Support Revive Chen and said, "Support Revive, come forward."

"Greetings, Patriarch."

Clad in a long robe, Support Revive Chen possessed a refined and scholarly air, carrying a hint of solitary nobility. Anyone who saw him would praise his jade-like elegance and truly Extraordinary bearing.

Eldrin Chen also looked him over carefully before sighing, "In the past, to repay the kindness of the Verdant Void Sect, I had you inherit the legacy of the Verdant Void Lineage, which in a way separated you from the family." Access the full story on audio–novel.com.

"Though you are now the sect master of the Verdant Void Lineage, the blood of our Chen Clan still flows within your veins."

Pausing at this point, Eldrin Chen then produced a Treasure Box and said, "The treasure within this box is called the Heavenly Heart Stone [a mystical stone said to contain the profound secrets of the cosmos]. It holds the arcane mysteries of the Heavenly Path [the supreme, all-encompassing Dao of Heaven]."

"After obtaining this, you should be able to refine and consecrate a Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a divine artifact imbued with the pure, primordial essence of the sun]. Your chances of a future breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator, representing a major advancement] will be greatly increased."

"Patriarch."

Support Revive Chen took the treasure, then drew a deep breath and said, "Rest assured, Patriarch. Although this disciple has inherited the legacy of the Verdant Void Sect, I understand where my roots lie."

Eldrin Chen nodded, then turned his gaze to Verdant Peak and said, "You are my eldest disciple and the example for your junior brothers."

"Now that you have found the Primordial Solar Spiritual Object on your own and refined the Primordial Solar Immortal Sword to protect yourself, this master is very pleased."

As he spoke, Eldrin Chen flicked his sleeve and produced a golden pagoda. "This treasure is called the Primordial Solar Blazing Sun Pagoda. It is a treasure I obtained from the Black Dragon Demon Ancestor."

"Although its grade has not reached the Sixth Rank Superior Grade, it is considered a top-tier Spiritual Treasure even among Sixth Rank Mid-Grade artifacts. Take it and refine it diligently. In the future, it can serve as a supreme protective treasure for you."

"Many thanks, Master."

Verdant Peak received the treasure, offering only a solemn bow without further words.

Seeing that all five of his disciples had received their treasures, Eldrin Chen said no more. He simply waved his hand. "The five of you may withdraw for now."

"We take our leave, Master."

Only after the disciples had departed did Eldrin Chen turn his attention to the three remaining individuals.

Among the remaining three, Ethan Chen possessed the highest cultivation base, having already reached the Half-Step Primordial Spirit Realm [the threshold just before the Primordial Spirit stage]. Elara Lin and Silas Chen were slightly behind, yet their cultivation had already soared to the Infant Soul 9th Tier [the ninth and final tier of the Infant Soul stage].

Eldrin Chen cast a discerning glance over them, then fixed his gaze upon Elara Lin. He retrieved several treasures and said, "Take these. Use them to break through to the Primordial Spirit [the stage where one's spiritual core solidifies into an independent Primordial Spirit] as soon as possible."

"This..."

Elara Lin took them and examined the contents. Inside, apart from a Primordial Spirit Pill [a pill that aids in the breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit realm] and a Six-Six Return to Origin Pill [a rare pill that helps restore one's foundation], there was also an incredibly precious Verdant Lotus Seed [a legendary seed said to contain immense life force and spiritual power].

The sheer, unparalleled value of these items made Elara Lin's heart tremble. Each of these three treasures was priceless beyond measure; combined, their worth likely surpassed even that of a Primordial Solar Spiritual Treasure [a supreme-grade magical artifact imbued with the essence of the primordial sun].

Thus, she could not help but shake her head and decline, "Such peerless treasures... one would be more than enough. For this disciple to take all three at once... forgive me, but Elara has not the face to accept them."

"Do not refuse."

Eldrin Chen's brow furrowed slightly before he shook his head. "The bond between you and Exquisite," he said, "though that of master and disciple, is also one of friendship and mutual respect."

"In earlier years, if one were to rank the family members by their accumulated Merits [a metaphysical measure of one's virtuous deeds and contributions], you would have ranked among the top five."

"Now that you find yourself stalled, unable to take that final step into the Primordial Spirit [the stage where one's spiritual core solidifies into an independent Primordial Spirit], how could I, as your elder and teacher, stand idly by and do nothing?"

"Yet you used it to attempt a breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator, representing a major advancement]. If you feel unworthy of accepting it, then after you successfully ascend to the Primordial Spirit, you can repay the debt slowly."

"Disciple..." Elara Lin drew a deep breath, then gritted her teeth and said, "Then this disciple will humbly accept your generosity." Find this and other novels at audio–novel.com.
