Gu Chenzhou took a deep breath. "Star Lord Xu, this is the fortune Gu has accumulated over several thousand years. It may not amount to much compared to that flower, but you can make use of it."
With that, he took out a storage ring.
Xu Changqing swept it with his Divine Sense, and his heart stirred slightly.
Inside the ring, Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones were piled up like mountains.
There were also countless heaps of cultivation resources.
As well as several scrolls of top-tier secret maps of starfields, accessible only within Shaking Light Star's External Affairs Bureau.
A permanent access token for the core region of Shaking Light Star's starlight.
And a transfer-order talisman engraved with the highest-authority seal of the External Affairs Bureau.
Spirit Stones and starfield secret maps were both hard currency among hard currencies.
Yet the most valuable items were the permanent access token and the External Affairs Bureau transfer-order talisman.
This token would allow him to enter and leave Shaking Light Star freely.
The transfer-order talisman meant that he could borrow the External Affairs Bureau's intelligence network and spatial passageways.
This was hardly emptying out his fortune—it was plainly gifting him privileges.
Xu Changqing did not refuse. "Fine. I'll take it."
With things having come to this, the old man and the young man met each other's eyes for a moment.
The Celestial River Moon Marrow Flower was a hope for breaking through, but breaking through had never been a matter of absolute certainty.
No one could guarantee that Gu Chenzhou would be able to use this flower to break through to the Body Integration Realm.
"I'm leaving!"
"Goodbye."
"Hope we can... meet again!"
Gu Chenzhou left.
Xu Changqing watched him go, lost in thought.
One Upper-Grade Realm-Breaking Pill could raise the chance of a breakthrough
