Chapter 19 Top-grade Spiritual Stone, Zhou Chen’s Shock

"Do not claim yet!"

Zhou Chen suppressed the excitement in his heart, planning to claim these items after leaving the Secret Realm.

After all, when he returned, the Sect would still inspect his Storage Pouch.

"Right, Systems usually come with a storage function. Mine might have one too?"

Zhou Chen pondered.

Zhou Chen took out a piece of lightning-struck wood from his Storage Pouch and silently thought.

"System, store."

"Whoosh!"

The lightning-struck wood in front of him instantly vanished. Next to the panel in Zhou Chen's mind, a new option appeared: [Storage].

[Storage]:

[Lightning-struck wood X1]

"System, retrieve lightning-struck wood."

Zhou Chen silently thought again.

The next second, the lightning-struck wood reappeared in Zhou Chen's hand.

"It actually works!"

This made Zhou Chen overjoyed.

He no longer had to worry about insufficient storage space or his claimed treasures being discovered by powerful Cultivators.

It also solved Zhou Chen's immediate problem.

So, Zhou Chen resolutely stored all the items claimed from the System into his storage space.

Other more common items remained in his Storage Pouch, serving as a means to mislead others.

After all, as the top inner disciple, if Zhou Chen didn't acquire anything good in the Secret Realm, he would be looked down upon by his fellow disciples and arouse suspicion and attention from the higher-ups.

Although Zhou Chen wasn't afraid, he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

Activating the Divine Concealment Art, Zhou Chen quickly left the scene and continued to explore other areas.

As he walked out, he distantly sensed someone approaching. When that person got closer, he realized it was Ye Chen.

He had actually arrived here a day early. It seemed the Heavenly Dao was subtly correcting Ye Chen's Luck.

So, Zhou Chen fully circulated the Divine Concealment Art. Ye Chen did not discover his presence and proceeded to the central area, which was the direction Zhou Chen had just come from.

Zhou Chen opened Ye Chen's panel again and found that the Opportunities listed within had begun to refresh.

[Name: Ye Chen.]

[Cultivation: Qi Refining Tenth Layer.]

[Destiny: Son of Luck, Immortal Dao Aptitude, Turning Misfortune into Blessing, Opportunity Overlord, Fire Spirit Body (Awakened)]

[Fate: Stops at Saint Realm Fifth Layer, becomes the Grand Elder of Blazing Fire Holy Land, Daoist title Crimson Flame Saint Venerable. Engages in battle with an enemy Saint Realm Eighth Layer expert for five days and five nights, sacrifices himself by self-detonating to protect the Blazing Fire Holy Land.]

[Recent Opportunity 1: Recently, an unexpected Fire Crystal Stone was discovered in the Soul Transformation Secret Realm. Under the guidance of the old man in the ring, the Fire Spirit Body within him awakened. (Already obtained)]

[Recent Opportunity 2: Two days later, in the depths of the Soul Transformation Secret Realm forest, a Low Grade Earth Rank Spiritual Artifact, the Thousand-Year Tree Heart, will be discovered. Consuming it will increase Cultivation Aptitude by one layer.]

[Recent Opportunity 3: Five days later, in a ruined Artifact Refining room in the northwestern part of the Secret Realm, the Profound Rank Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact Pill Furnace, Zhou Tian Cauldron, will be obtained.]

[Recent Opportunity 4: Ten days later, at the bottom of the Secret Realm's Spirit Lake, a Top-Grade Spirit Stone will be discovered.]

[Recent Opportunity 4: Half a month later, Little Monk Xu Kong of Tianlong Temple will take a liking to him and bestow a Top-Grade Foundation Establishment Pill.]

[Recent Opportunity 4: One month later, passing by a market outside the Secret Realm, he will have a sudden urge to gamble on source stones and obtain the Golden Emperor Spirit Flame, an exotic flame. His Flame Mantra will advance to Low Grade Heaven Rank.]

[Recent Opportunity 5: One and a half months later, …]

Zhou Chen finished reading Ye Chen's Opportunity list, feeling both shocked and speechless.

The shock came from not expecting the Heavenly Dao to refresh Ye Chen's Opportunities again, and so many of them.

The speechlessness was because Zhou Chen found that some Opportunities could no longer be seized, wondering if he was being targeted by this Heavenly Dao.

For example, the Fire Crystal Stone; with a slight oversight, Ye Chen had already awakened his Physique.

Another example was the Top-Grade Foundation Establishment Pill, which Little Monk Xu Kong directly gave to him, and the exotic flame mysteriously appeared inside a source stone.

Source stones are like fossils, with various things sealed inside, or possibly nothing at all.

The origin of source stones is unknown; Cultivators only know that they can be used for trade and gambling.

Winning means reaching the heavens in one step, losing means meeting on the rooftop.

Moreover, this source stone was random, meaning if Zhou Chen were to snatch it or interfere with a certain timeline in the middle, it would prevent Ye Chen from acquiring it.

Zhou Chen inwardly exclaimed how outrageous it was. What was the difference between this and directly giving it to Ye Chen?

Truly a wicked Heavenly Dao!

Zhou Chen cried out in his heart.

Fortunately, there were still some things left for Zhou Chen to intercept, which gave him some comfort.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen decisively left the original spot.

"Ding! Congratulations to Host for obtaining a Low Grade Earth Rank Thousand-Year Tree Heart. Ten thousand times return: a Low Grade Heaven Rank Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Heart. Do you wish to claim it?"

"Do not claim yet."

"Ding! Congratulations to Host for discovering the Profound Rank Zhou Tian Cauldron. Ten thousand times return: a Top-Grade Earth Rank Heluo Cauldron. Do you wish to claim it?"

"Ding! Congratulations to Host for a Top-Grade Spirit Stone. Ten thousand times return: ten thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones. Do you wish to claim it?"

Zhou Chen was stunned.

Ten thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones. This was probably the entire fortune of Wenxian Sect.

One must know that in Wenxian Sect's view, they spent less than a few dozen Top-Grade Spirit Stones in a year.

The main expense was for maintaining the Sect's various Formations.

Ten thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones was something ordinary people wouldn't even dare to imagine.

With this resource, Zhou Chen would not have to worry about Spirit Stones for a very long time.

Indeed, one cannot become rich without unexpected wealth!
