Chapter 488: Chapter 378: Official mber of the Taoist Divine Palace! (Must Read)_2
He, Jiang He, personally guarantees it!
Chen Yuan lowered his gaze, understanding the significance of this statent.
It signified the extre value that the Taoist Divine Palace placed on him; after all, even for those at the Reach Profound Peak, forming a core typically required many years of cultivation.
This statent could be considered a promise that after he secured the Ascending Immortal Fruit in the future, he would be able to interact as equals with the Dan Realm Masters and even the Yang Transformation True Masters of the Taoist Divine Palace, with his body having reached the Profound.
The implications were profound.
“Chen has understood!”
“In addition, before the Immortal Battle comnces, the Taoist Divine Palace can do one more thing for you. Initially, we thought to bestow upon you an excellent Spiritual Sword for protection, but it appears that won’t be necessary anymore.
However, this offer cannot just be discarded, so you may make one request. As long as it is within our power to fulfill, we will make sure to do so; consider it the first reward for your winning the Ascending Immortal Fruit.”
Jiang He said, gazing intently at Chen Yuan.
“Anything at all?”
“Within our capabilities, for instance, the Taoist Divine Palace can gift you a high-grade Spirit Pill, which is sufficient to advance your cultivation before the Immortal Battle begins,
even if not to the peak, then not far from it, and… this Spirit Pill has virtually no toxicity.”
Chen Yuan’s eyes showed a trace of eagerness, but after weighing his options, he still shook his head and said,
“Can this be postponed?”
If it hadn’t been for the opportunity guided by the Qi Fortune Altar previously, Chen Yuan might have readily agreed, as his most notable weakness was that his cultivation was just short of complete.
With this Spirit Pill, his chances of competing for the Ascending Immortal Fruit would greatly increase.
However, since he had already received guidance from the opportunity before, he couldn’t help but hesitate. Clearly, the opportunity was far more important than any Spirit Pill.
Moreover, from his past experiences, one could tell that the opportunities indicated by the Qi Fortune Altar were not given arbitrarily but held significant aning, so even resonating with past events.
Missing this link could potentially cause problems in the future.
Hence, he decided to seize this opportunity first. If the Divine Lotus indicated by the guidance had no use in cultivation, then it wouldn’t be too late to consu the Spirit Pill afterward.
Now, he held a dual safeguard.
“Hmm?”
Jiang He took a sharp look at Chen Yuan.
He had expected the latter to agree imdiately, as Spirit Pills that could directly enhance the soul’s cultivation were extrely precious and precisely what Chen Yuan needed most urgently.
It now seed as though… the other party was quite confident in improving his cultivation.
Reflecting on this, he suddenly rembered what a certain Daoist had said before.
He had ntioned that Chen Yuan’s cultivation progress was too swift, while his aura was solid, not hollow, suggesting it wasn’t due to the reliance on elixirs; he must possess an item that could rapidly enhance his cultivation.
Considering it now, there seed to be so truth in that.
“That’s acceptable. This offer can be held indefinitely, and when you ask us for assistance in the future, it can be without any cost.”
mbers of the Taoist Divine Palace say they operate on principles of equal exchange, but in essence, those with higher cultivation still tend to help those with lower cultivation; this was true for Chen Yuan now, as it was for Jiang He previously.
Before becoming an official mber of the Divine Palace, one would receive so help within reason.
Therefore, Jiang He was making every effort to take care of Chen Yuan.
Because soone had done the sa for him once.
“That is possible.”
Jiang He gave a precise answer.
“The Golden Envoy has participated in the Immortal Battle before; does he know the rules?” This was also a matter of concern for Chen Yuan; knowing oneself and one’s enemy is the key to victory in every battle.
If he could understand them, it would certainly be of great help to him.
“The rules of the Immortal Battle are not fixed; most are different every ti. You will understand once you see it for yourself,” Jiang He replied without elaboration because there was truly no help in knowing in advance.
“While passing through Tangshan Prefecture, I had an encounter with Zhang Xuan. He said… His Majesty might possibly summon to the Capital after the Immortal Battle. What are your thoughts, my lord?”
If there was to be any turnaround in the matter, Chen Yuan would have to rely on Jiang He.
However, to his surprise, upon hearing his words, Jiang He’s eyes suddenly brightened, and he asked intently,
“Is this for certain?”
“There’s a significant possibility.”
Seeing Jiang He’s sowhat excited look, Chen Yuan felt a twinge of confusion.
“Good, there’s no need for you to worry about this. If Jingtai truly summons you to serve in the Capital, it might actually be a good thing. You don’t need to concern yourself with this,
I will help you with the rest.”
Jiang He spoke solemnly, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the tabletop.
“Chen does not wish to go to the Capital.”
Ultimately, Chen Yuan voiced his true intentions.
He had no interest in being stationed there.
The Capital might be a holy land for so officials, but for soone like him, who lacked no resources, going there could be inconvenient. He would rather continue to accumulate strength in seclusion.
“If Jingtai orders you there and you refuse, it would be considered defiance. Moreover, this matter involves a plot by the Taoist Divine Palace. Initially, I planned to have you transferred to the Capital once you broke through the Core Realm,”
“This…”
“The properties you’ve left in Tangshan Prefecture are not important. With overseeing them, nothing will go awry, and the Capital is where the essence of Great Jin resides,
if you harbor ambitions, how can you remain ignorant of the workings of the court?”
Jiang He did not command with an authoritative tone but persuaded with gentle guidance.
In his eyes, what separated Chen Yuan from being an official mber of the Taoist Divine Palace was rely a difference in status. As long as no accidents occurred in the future,
he would inevitably join the Divine Palace.
No, to be precise, he was already one of the Divine Palace’s people.
But for now, he stood between being an outer mber and a formal one.
“Chen has understood.”
