Gu Yuena's Concern, Gold of Life

This was not the first time Yin Chuan had asked King of Ten Thousand Monsters for resources.

After reincarnating as a human,

whenever he asked King of Ten Thousand Monsters for low-level cultivation resources, his requests were almost always granted.

On one hand, King of Ten Thousand Monsters did not lack such trifling resources.

On the other hand,

King of Ten Thousand Monsters was secretly malicious.

He had long regarded Yin Chuan as something already in his grasp, and he had been deliberately nurturing him. Naturally, he was not stingy with such minor resources.

Besides, if Yin Chuan consumed too many heavenly treasures,

his cultivation would struggle to advance in the later stages!

King of Ten Thousand Monsters wished Yin Chuan would gorge himself on pills until he lacked the stamina to continue, unable to break through Rank 90.

Then his army of plants would happily gain another transformed Blue Silver King with a strength attribute.

"I owe you."

King of Ten Thousand Monsters impatiently took out all four spiritual treasures.

But the insatiable Yin Chuan was not satisfied.

After accepting them,

he held out his hand and demanded:

"Millennium Earth Dragon Crystal, Millennium Ice Marrow, Millennium Spirit Herb, Millennium Life-Extending Grass,

"Millennium Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Millennium Pine Spirit Mushroom, Millennium Life-Generating Fruit, Millennium Purple Cloud Wood."

These were the heavenly treasures needed to unlock the Golden Dragon King's third and fourth seals.

Since he could fleece King of Ten Thousand Monsters for them, Yin Chuan could not be bothered to look elsewhere.

"How could you even ask?!"

King of Ten Thousand Monsters shuddered and stared at Yin Chuan in disbelief.

So transformed humans could be this shameless?

He had just given him four Millennium Spirit Herbs, and he wanted more?

Did he take him for a cash dispenser?

"Are you giving them or not?"

Yin Chuan remained perfectly righteous.

That rotten old man, King of Ten Thousand Monsters, was plotting against his body. Of course Yin Chuan would not stand on ceremony with him.

"I only have Life-Extending Grass, Pine Spirit Mushroom, and Purple Cloud Wood. I don't have the others. Go find them yourself."

King of Ten Thousand Monsters resentfully took out another three spiritual treasures.

Though he sounded thoroughly annoyed,

he still gave them to him.

In truth, he rather admired Yin Chuan.

Back then, when he found Yin Chuan, he had curiously asked him:

"Your origin is powerful and abundant. You should be able to withstand several heavenly tribulations, and cultivating to at least four hundred thousand years should not be a problem. Your path ahead is practically smooth sailing. Why transform into a human?"

King of Ten Thousand Monsters could not understand it.

First of all, Yin Chuan's existence itself defied common sense. What kind of Blue Silver Grass could possibly be this formidable?!

And since he was already this strong, enduring a few heavenly tribulations would be no trouble. Why transform into a human?

Giving up a long life and entering human society in transformed form meant becoming a walking Soul Ring and Soul Bone for those Soul Masters!

How had Yin Chuan answered?

"If I don't transform, I'll need hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation before I can rival you."

"After transforming, I'll surpass you within a hundred years."

"Once I break through Rank 98 or higher, your hundreds of thousands of years of life will be nothing more than something in my grasp."

That soul-searching question had left King of Ten Thousand Monsters completely dumbfounded.

A hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver King

might never catch up to his five-hundred-and-twenty-thousand years of cultivation before dying, unless he himself was struck dead by heavenly tribulation.

But after transforming into a human,

within a hundred years, the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver King he had looked down on could cultivate to Rank 98 or even Rank 99 and kick him around like a ball.

Reality was simply that cruel.

For a time, King of Ten Thousand Monsters' Dao heart had shattered. He secretly sank into depression for a long while before Di Tian finally talked him through it.

From then on,

King of Ten Thousand Monsters regarded Yin Chuan with the same mindset Cao Cao had toward Guan Yu.

"Yin Chuan."

"The Beast God asked me to give this to you."

King of Ten Thousand Monsters came back to his senses

and tossed Yin Chuan a piece of vibrant green metal.

"This is the Gold of Life you offered to Lord back then."

"Lord cares deeply about your sister."

"Lord has accepted your intentions, so this Gold of Life is being returned to you."

"Compared to Lord, your sister needs it more."

King of Ten Thousand Monsters' gaze flickered with longing.

Gold of Life!

Since when had it become so worthless?

Yin Chuan had honorably offered it to the Silver Dragon King, only for the Silver Dragon King to return it to him.

He dearly wanted to say: If neither of you wants it, give it to me!

But even with ten times the courage, King of Ten Thousand Monsters would not dare defy the Silver Dragon King's orders.

"Fine. Then please thank the Beast God and Lord on my behalf."

"I will never be able to repay Lord's kindness!"

"I, Yin Chuan, will willingly brave death itself to repay Lord's great grace!"

Yin Chuan accepted the Gold of Life with considerable emotion, then declared his loyalty to Gu Yuena from afar.

Yin Chuan knew that Di Tian's Reverse Scale had a surveillance function.

Ah Yin truly needed this piece of Gold of Life.

Still, today's events had reminded Yin Chuan of something.

Tang San's refinement of the Golden Dragon King bloodline was still in its early stages and not yet obvious, but Di Tian and Gu Yuena would soon be unable to overlook it.

If the Good Uncle System did not produce something to conceal it,

he would have to make preparations early.

"You smooth-talking brat!"

"My business here is done as well. Take care of yourself."

King of Ten Thousand Monsters rolled his eyes, his face full of disdain and contempt.

So he was the only one who knew how to talk?

Was he bullying them because they were not good with words?

That bootlicking scoundrel had instead won Lord's trust. There truly was no justice in the world!

"My loyalty to Lord is unwavering. Say whatever you like."

Yin Chuan waved the Gold of Life in his hand and went his separate way from King of Ten Thousand Monsters.

The scene returned to the present.

Yin Chuan, Tang San, and Xiao Wu had arrived at another small town.

Yin Chuan rented an abandoned little courtyard

and set up a large cauldron there.

"Xiao Wu, we have serious business to handle. Go stand outside and keep watch at the gate."

Yin Chuan drove Xiao Wu outside.

"Damn it, who does that?"

Xiao Wu squatted by the entrance, her rabbit ears drooping in grievance as she stamped her foot angrily.

Damn Yin Chuan!

Making her guard the door!

She even called him Uncle, and this was how he treated her?!

Whoosh!!

Some carrots and Gold Soul Coins flew out from the courtyard.

Xiao Wu's eyes immediately lit up.

She forgot all her sadness and frustration, promptly caught the food and money, and happily began keeping watch at the gate.

Inside the gate.

"Uncle, this is..."

Tang San stood on guard as he stared at the large cauldron.

"To unlock your second seal."

"Are you ready?"

Yin Chuan took out several heavenly treasures...

"I'm ready."

Tang San was actually a little nervous, but with his uncle having already set everything up, he could only force himself onward.

Unlocking the Golden Dragon King's seal was his own matter.

His uncle had gone to such trouble to find spiritual treasures and prepare everything for him. He had no room to refuse.

"Good. As long as you're ready."

Yin Chuan first took out the Millennium Blue Tendon Vine.

It seemed this was the correct order...

The Millennium Blue Tendon Vine

was an emerald-green plant about the length of a forearm.

Its texture was crystalline and translucent, with faint light and liquid visibly flowing within it,

and it emitted a refreshing, pleasant fragrance.

Whoosh!

Yin Chuan tossed the Millennium Blue Tendon Vine over the cauldron, clenched his palm in the air, and used Soul Power to squeeze out all its juice before pouring it into the cauldron.

Splash!

Green steam billowed upward. Tang San took one look and grew even more nervous.

This color was really hard to compliment!

"Next is the Millennium Earth Dragon Tendon."

Yin Chuan pondered briefly,

then tied both ends of the two-meter-long Millennium Earth Dragon Tendon together into a circle

and threw it out!

Swish!

The Blue Silver Tyrant Spear appeared, its shaft passing through the loop of Millennium Earth Dragon Tendon.

Then Yin Chuan spun the spear one-handed.

His five-meter-long Blue Silver Tyrant Spear began whirling with the loop of Millennium Earth Dragon Tendon hanging from it.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

It spun faster and faster, and the Millennium Earth Dragon Tendon began to heat up and soften...
