An Astonishing Gift, Another Legendary Treasure!

Hello, Shen Xing.

"Greetings, Senior Shi Lan." Shen Xing cupped his hands in greeting.

"No need for formalities." The female lord gently shook her head. "You helped Lin'er escape from those demons and brought back crucial evidence. I should be thanking you."

Shen Xing was stunned for a moment, unsure how to respond.

She spoke lightly, but everyone knew how much grief this mother was experiencing.

That day, she almost went mad.

If it weren't for the other lords holding him back, he would have definitely perished along with the lords of the three great nations.

Everyone else in the hall fell silent.

Shi Lan didn't say much, calmly sat down next to Shen Xing, and looked at him with a gentle expression.

"I came here for two reasons: firstly, to deliver a treasure to you as instructed from above, and secondly, to come and see you."

"I was too angry at the time to see my benefactor's face clearly. Now I realize he is indeed a handsome man."

"Young, promising, and so beautiful—if you went to Tianmen City, countless outstanding female lords would be after you."

Shen Xing felt a little embarrassed by her praise and humbly replied, "You flatter me, senior."

Xu Jiayi, who was standing next to her, frowned slightly after hearing the last sentence, and her small hands clenched involuntarily.

Shi Lan smiled slightly, and without further pleasantries, went straight to the point. "Come, child, I'll give you that treasure."

As she spoke, she opened her right hand and took out a square box.

The box appeared to be made of some special type of wood, possessing the ability to shield one's aura; they couldn't sense even the slightest energy fluctuation.

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Shi Lan slowly opened the wooden box.

As a sliver of bright white light spilled out from the crack, as if breaking some kind of seal, a soft yet profound aura surged forth!

"Buzz—"

The entire hall was instantly filled with white light, and everyone lost their vision, with only a vast expanse of white before their eyes.

When the lid was fully opened, a vast divine power swept through the entire River Heart First Class community and was still spreading rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Jiangcheng felt this powerful aura!

At that moment, everyone realized that this was probably a truly extraordinary treasure.

After about ten seconds, the blinding white light slowly dissipated, and everyone's vision was finally restored.

But when they looked closely, they saw a small moon.

Chapter 277: An Amazing Gift, Yet Another Legend!

When everyone looked closely, they saw a small moon.

Yes, you heard right, it's the moon.

A moon-white sphere, one meter in diameter, floated in mid-air, emitting a soft white light, and its surface was covered with pits and holes.

Even more astonishing is that above this sphere stands a Xiao Xiao palace, lonely and mysterious.

In addition, there is a silvery-white osmanthus tree next to the palace, its branches and leaves spreading out and making a crisp 'tinkling' sound.

"What is this...?" Shen Xing murmured.

"Legendary Rank building: Moon in the Sky." Shi Lan's brief reply.

"Hiss!"

Shen Xing gasped for breath, his eyes widening in surprise!

What did he hear? Legendary Rank building?

Good heavens, this is completely beyond his expectations!

The rarity and power of buildings of this caliber need no further explanation.

Even within Shen Xing's territory, there is only one Legendary Rank building: the Lotus Pond.

Thanks to this Lotus Pond, he possessed a growth rate hundreds or even thousands of times faster than ordinary people, and he also cultivated many extraordinary treasures within it.

"Senior Shi Lan, are you sure the higher-ups want to give this to me?" Shen Xing asked blankly.

"Of course." Shi Lan nodded with a smile. "I came here specifically to personally hand over this legendary building to you; I wouldn't trust anyone else to do it."

With that, she gently waved her hand, sending the moon star over.

"No... isn't this too expensive?" Shen Xing still didn't take it, and asked hesitantly.

"Don't overthink it," Shi Lan explained with a smile. "Legendary Rank buildings are indeed precious, but with your contributions, you fully deserve this reward."

"You first made great contributions in the Spiral Labyrinth, and later helped Zhang Yu break through to the Grandmaster, adding another top expert to our Heavenly Star Nation."

"Now they've taken first place on the Two Worlds Leaderboard, a huge contribution indeed."

She paused, then continued, "According to the rules, you should have received two treasures as a reward."

"But that person said that this one treasure alone is enough."

"If you ask me, he's just stingy; he's unwilling to take out the good stuff."

Shen Xing chuckled to himself, thinking to himself that this person was truly outspoken and dared to say anything.

However, what the other party said was also true; this one treasure alone was enough to compensate for his past contributions.

After all, this is Legendary Rank building.

It is a treasure that countless people have never even heard of, a true legendary item.

In some ways, it is even more precious than legendary equipment, and even Grandmaster Rank experts would go crazy for it.

Zhang Yu also remarked with emotion, "I never expected that person would give such an important treasure to Shen Xing."

"This [Moon in the Sky] was obtained at the cost of the lives of many Master Rank experts, and even a Grandmaster, in that Heavenly Palace Secret Realm."

"And since that incident, all nations have jointly sealed off the secret realm, forbidding us from Heavenly Star from setting foot there."

"Over the years, many Grandmaster- level experts have tried to exchange other treasures for this [Moon in the Sky], but that person refused."

"The reason he's willing to take it out now is probably because he feels Shen Xing is more suitable for this treasure than anyone else."

So just accept it.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xing also realized how hard-won this treasure was.

After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll accept it."

"Senior Shi Lan, please thank that person and the other powerful figures from the Heavenly Star Nation for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Xing waved his right hand, drawing the moon closer.

Then it was put back into the wooden box, and the vast divine power subsided.

Shi Lan watched as he accepted the gifts, a gentle smile returning to her face, "Besides this [Moon in the Sky], I also have something I'd like to give you personally."

As she spoke, she took out a transparent glass bottle containing a drop of emerald-green liquid that exuded a rich life force.

"Ancient Tree of Life Essence!"

Zhang Yu recognized the liquid before him and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "This is a treasure that can extend our lifespan by at least a hundred years, greatly improve our aptitude, and even break through our limits!"

"Senior Shi... are you sure you want to give this to Shen Xing?"

"Of course I'm sure." Shi Lan glanced at him, and said irritably, "Otherwise, would I take it out to show off?"

"That's not what I meant." Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "Haven't you yourself been stuck at the peak of the Master for many years and still can't break through?"

"This drop of [Ancient Tree of Life Essence] can extend your lifespan by at least a hundred years, and also greatly increase your chances of breaking through to the Grandmaster level..."

"Shen Xing is still young. This drop of essence is more important to you than to him, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xing, Xu Jiayi, and the others nearby also realized the importance of this bottle of serum.

It should be noted that even the [Thousand-Year Lotus Seed] only adds a hundred years to one's lifespan, which is equivalent to this drop of Tree Spirit.

But according to Zhang Yu, this drop of [Ancient Tree of Life Essence] can even help life break through its potential limits.

That is to say, reaching a realm beyond God-Gifted, which is extremely defying the heavens.

His first instinct was to refuse.

At this moment, Shi Lan shook her head and said, "The reason I can't break through to the Grandmaster is because my 'Primordial Soul' is improving slowly, and it has nothing to do with lifespan."

"I'm confident I can break through to the Grandmaster before my lifespan ends, so this thing isn't very useful to me."

She paused, then looked at Shen Xing beside her, a kind smile appearing on her face, "Child, you don't need to refuse so quickly. I know you have a kind heart."

"Could you answer one question for me?"

Shen Xing was slightly taken aback, but still replied, "Okay."

Shi Lan took a deep breath and asked in a trembling voice, "Are all the murderers who tortured Lin'er dead?"

Shen Xing nodded, his voice lowering slightly. "Yes, I killed them all. They died cleanly."

"One of them escaped, but is now trapped in the maze and hasn't come out yet."

"Good, good child!" A hint of pleasure flashed in Shi Lan's eyes. "Even if Lin'er dies now, he can rest in peace."

"Here, child, accept this as a token of gratitude for avenging Lin'er."

As she spoke, she handed him the bottle of [Ancient Tree of Life Essence].

Shen Xing didn't take it, shaking his head and saying, "Senior Shi Lan, you should keep it for yourself."

"Director Zhang is right, this is more important to you."

Upon hearing this, Shi Lan's face once again showed a relieved smile, "What a sensible and good child."

"But don't worry, I don't need this."

"Besides, I'll always feel bad if you don't accept it, and it might even become an obstacle to my breakthrough to the Grandmaster."

Seeing that things had already gone this far, Shen Xing knew that refusing any further would seem like being fussy.

Moreover, this drop of [Ancient Tree of Life Essence] is indeed useful to me; I'll accept it first to improve my strength.

At worst, we can send her a few Soul Crystal when the first batch is produced in our territory, and see if they can help her break through to the Grandmaster.

Thinking of this, he solemnly accepted the bottle of essence. "Shi Lan very much, Senior Shi Lan. Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Shi Lan nodded repeatedly, a gentle smile appearing on her face.

The others in the hall exchanged glances and smiled with satisfaction, but also with a hint of envy.

After all, Shen Xing's gains this time were enormous.

Not only is there a Legendary Rank building, but also an incomparably precious essence.

Even Zhang Yu, a Grandmaster, was filled with envy.

At this moment, Shi Lan spoke again, asking, "By the way, child, I heard that your parents met with misfortune many years ago?"
