Chapter 654 - 502: Five Treasures (Part 2)
No rush, no rush, there are still two more secret treasures below; perhaps there’s something even better?
Suppressing his excitement, Lu Qian continued to look down.
Is this a large cloak woven from white feathers?
A cloak, that is, an outer coat, carries the elegance of both a cape and a mantle in style, making its wearer appear majestic and graceful.
And this white cloak is called the White Crane Ruyi Cloak. The introduction mentions that this cloak is refined using nine hundred and ninety-nine rare crane feathers, possessing extremely mysterious uses.
It can be adjusted flexibly according to the needs of the controller, defending against various attacks.
For instance, when facing flames, the White Crane Ruyi Cloak can transform into Ice Crystal Spirit Feathers, and when facing sharp weapons, it can layer upon layer, becoming as firm as black iron... Even in the face of Spiritual Sense attacks, the White Crane Cloak can transform into a Spirit Shield, resisting powerful Spiritual Sense assaults.
With the defense of the White Crane Cloak, even attacks at the Golden Core Level will be greatly diminished!
However, one shortcoming of the White Crane Ruyi Cloak is that it can only transform into one attribute at a time; if the controller faces more than one type of attack attribute simultaneously, they must decide themselves which form to take.
This secret treasure is suitable for use until the Golden Core period. Even though its drawbacks make it easily targeted by enemies, whether amidst a siege or multiple attack methods, its utility would be diminished, it remains a rare defensive secret treasure.
Currently, the spiritual artifacts on Lu Qian aren’t much. Apart from a newly replaced High-Tier Spiritual Artifact Level Array Base and Array Map and a few spare spiritual artifacts, noteworthy ones are only the Golden Lion Treasure Mirror and the Tunneling Armor Divine Decree. The top-grade spiritual artifact Qilin Stepping on the Moon Seal, also from Yuchi Hui, has been given to his senior sister for protection.
Choosing this White Crane Ruyi Cloak would significantly enhance Lu Qian’s defensive capability.
Lu Qian swallowed hard, trying with effort to tear his gaze away from the White Crane Cloak, shifting to the final item.
It was a bracelet brimming with radiant light.
No, the truly useful thing was not the bracelet itself, but the clear and transparent Treasure Pearl embedded in the middle of it.
Indeed, the introduction directly points out the name of this Treasure Pearl.
A disposable secret treasure, the Sumeru Spirit Treasure Pearl. It can only be used once and will immediately collapse after use.
Its sole function is to store a cultivator’s own spiritual power and extract it for use when needed.
A simple sentence, yet Lu Qian was astonished. There are countless bizarre and precious treasures in this world, but till now, this is the only one Lu Qian has seen that can store spiritual power and allow for its reuse.
It’s like giving the cultivator a portable external dantian!
Lu Qian’s Divine Sense swept through the Treasure Pearl, already judging that its storage capacity is tremendously large, capable of storing ten times his current spiritual power. This is a staggering amount; if used in battle, his spiritual power would be almost inexhaustible.
Especially when used on himself, with his flexible and varied means, this tenfold extra spiritual power can be put to many uses.
It’s just a pity that it’s a disposable secret treasure. But then again, if it wasn’t disposable, that would be too overpowering, enough to be a hereditary treasure of an ordinary sect. Why else would Miaomiao Profound Monarch give it away so freely?
Now that all five treasures have been reviewed, "Venus Fubo Lian Guang True Technique," Four unique Golden Core level Pill Formulas, "Celestial Urgent Three Light Sword," "White Crane Ruyi Cloak," and "Sumeru Spirit Treasure Pearl," which to choose?
Starting by following his prior analysis, he can eliminate the first two, meaning he has to choose one out of the three secret treasures?
Tsk, sure enough, Miaomiao Profound Monarch is still rather stingy and petty!
After pondering, Yunshan Sect now already has plenty of offensive methods, whether it’s the Immortal Dragon Slayer Painting or the fourfold array transformations of his own can unleash Golden Core level power, and with escape speed covered by the Tunneling Armor Divine Decree, although the Celestial Urgent Three Light Sword is good, it is just an icing on the cake, not indispensable.
That leaves only the White Crane Ruyi Cloak and the Sumeru Spirit Treasure Pearl...
Better to cover his weak spots and choose the White Crane Cloak! After all, being an Array Cultivator, he can rely on Spirit Veins and Spirit Crystals and Spirit Stones for spiritual power, hence the need for the Sumeru Spirit Treasure Pearl isn’t too high.
The tightly knitted brows of Lu Qian slowly eased, reluctantly sweeping over the other treasures, about to make his final, difficult choice, when suddenly Yuan Xu Spirit Monarch spoke.
"Profound Monarch, Lu Qian is a sensible, considerate, and filial young man." The youthful-faced, white-haired Yuan Xu Spirit Monarch smiled and said, "Last time, he actively offered five percent shares of Nocturnal City; although it’s not much, it’s still a gesture. With the steady and lasting relationship between our two sects, it’s an added benefit."
"I am quite fond of this child and wish to ask Profound Monarch for a favor, allowing him to choose one more item."
Miaomiao Profound Monarch paused, took a deep gaze at Lu Qian, and nodded: "Since Yuan Xu Spirit Monarch has spoken, there’s no need to discuss favors; consider it compensation for your shares in Nocturnal City, and I permit you to choose two items instead."
In that instant, Lu Qian felt suddenly enlightened, as if finding a bright path in a shadowy grove, immediately expressing his gratitude with a deep bow towards Yuan Xu Spirit Monarch and Miaomiao Profound Monarch.
He knew that Yuan Xu Spirit Monarch’s intervention was undoubtedly about recruiting and nurturing, wanting to bring Lu Qian under his wing, and also repaying Lu Qian for his contributions during the Celestial Monarch’s arrival event, where he and Xi Chan Daoist gave their all, quickly leading to the collapse of Meng Chi True Monarch’s Dharma Realm, allowing Spirit Beast Sect cultivators to escape.
Receiving such a generous gift implies that he will inevitably bear greater responsibilities in the Spirit Beast Sect, playing an even more significant role in the future.
