Mo Nian saw Long Chen bounce up from the ground like a spring. But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt the world spin and fell straight down on the ground.
"Come on, just forget it. To save you, half my life was being worn down by you. I don't even know if this curse power will affect my future cultivation." Long Chen said irritably.
Mo Nian felt dizzy and lightheaded. It was precisely because he had just lifted the curse that he was too weak. After a while, he felt a bit better. Although his complexion was still sallow, there was a trace of energy in his eyes.
Mo Nian grabbed Long Chen's arm excitedly and said, "Good brother, I'm not lying to you. Let me tell you, I've discovered a world-shaking treasure site. There, an era is buried there, and there must be astonishing secrets hidden within."
If we dig up that place, we'll be truly prosperous. Do you know why I'm willing to be cursed and enter that place? "
Why?"
"Let me show you something."
After Mo Nian finished speaking, something appeared in his hand.
It was a bone claw, its palm connected to the forearm. The arm was as smooth as jade, yet there were tiny stars on it. As soon as it appeared, the star power within Long Chen surged rapidly.
Long Chen was shocked: "This is ...!"
Long Chen's heart raced wildly. This was a bone claw of a Nine-Star heir. In his palm was an Eight-Star Diagram. Although it was just a bone, it contained the power to destroy all paths.
"I was cursed just to get it. You risked your life to save me—surely it's not unfair?" Mo Nian chuckled.
"Not wronged, not wronged, not at all."
Long Chen held the bone claw in his hand, feeling the star power flowing within it, feeling extremely excited.
"Buzz buzz buzz... The
bone claw landed in Long Chen's hand, seemingly sensing him. The stars on it swirled, beginning to resonate with Long Chen's star power.
"This is the arm of a Heavenly Saint-level Nine-Star heir. You can refine it. For you now, it's a treasure." Qiankun Cauldron said.
Long Chen nodded. In fact, he didn't need to refine it. Once the bone claw resonated with Long Chen's star power, it began to turn into specks of starlight, enveloping Long Chen's arm.
Soon, Long Chen's arm was wrapped in bone claws, as if a layer of battle armor was wrapped around his arm.
Suddenly, the bone claw vanished and instantly merged into Long Chen's arm. With a thought, the bone claw appeared once more.
Long Chen raised his large hand, looking at the Eight-Star Diagram in his palm. His soul trembled, and in an instant, he understood that this bone claw was a kind of inheritance, one that only Nine-Star successors could receive.
In his palm, eight stars formed a ring around them. Looking at them, Long Chen felt as if his soul was being drawn into them. They contained the most profound things in heaven and earth, and with his current cultivation, he seemed not qualified to comprehend them.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen grabbed at the void, causing it to tremble violently, forming a vortex spanning a thousand miles.
"Such terrifying power, it seems it could crush the entire world. The power of the stars is infinitely enhanced within this bone claw." Long Chen's heart pounded wildly. With this bone claw, he could even challenge the Heavenly Saint.
"Hehe, how about it? Pretty generous! Seeing Long Chen's delighted expression, Mo Nian chuckled proudly and said.
"Loyal and loyal, you're really a buddy." Long Chen gave a thumbs-up. The resentment he had been filled with had long since vanished, and he silently thought, 'The gift given to him is too precious.'
The Qiankun Cauldron said this bone claw was left behind by a Heavenly Saint-level Nine-Star heir. With this bone claw, even if he encountered a Heavenly Saint, he wouldn't have to fear.
Seemingly seeing through Long Chen's thoughts, the Qiankun Cauldron reminded, "This bone claw is a Heavenly Saint-level treasure bone. With your current strength, you still can't control it."
If you force it, with your current star power, you can only trigger a tenth of its power at most, or even less, and your star power will be depleted in an instant. You can use this bone claw as a last life-saving measure. "
Tenth of the power?" Long Chen was instantly a bit disappointed.
But Long Chen's eyes lit up. Wait, that's not right—that's a Heavenly Saint-level Nine-Star successor. Even if his power is only a tenth of that, it should still be very strong.
"Long Chen, pack up and come with me. Baby is waiting for us. They've been waiting too long, and it makes me feel uneasy." Mo Nian said.
"With your current condition, even a gust of wind could knock you down. Why are you in such a hurry?" Long Chen said irritably. Although he too couldn't move when he saw treasures, Mo Nian was even more greedy than him, willing to risk his life for the treasure.
"There's still some distance to get there. On the way, I can slowly heal my wounds. The key is, without obtaining that treasure, I never feel at ease." Mo Nian shook his head.
Long Chen was helpless. This guy was too impatient, so Long Chen could only take him to say goodbye to Bai Letian. Long Chen told him about Bai Letian's plan to use the power of faith to save him. Although Bai Letian ultimately didn't do so, he still had to accept this kindness.
When he arrived at Bai Letian, Mo Nian respectfully greeted him as a junior and presented a white jade bottle. Bai Letian was momentarily stunned, but when he took the bottle, he was deeply moved:
"What is this... Qi flows and flows with source liquid. When
Long Chen heard the Fortune Source Liquid, he was also shocked. Mo Nian's actions were truly astonishing. The Fortune Source Liquid was a kind of faith divine liquid, condensed from the purest power of faith.
Ordinary Faith Divine Liquid is the primal essence formed at the founding of a deity or a faction. This Divine Liquid exists only in legends and is never seen in reality.
Because whether it's a god or a faction, once destroyed, the power of faith will dissipate, and the Fortune Essence will be reclaimed by the Heavenly Dao, something the world cannot see.
If the gods and forces still exist and the Fortune Essence is stolen, the gods' divine status will collapse, the sect will decline, and eventually fall apart.
"A small token of appreciation, please accept it with a smile, Dean." Mo Nian smiled faintly. Although his words were humble, the pride in his eyes showed that he was quite pleased at this moment.
"This item is extremely precious, especially for us who have just established our base. It's a lifesaver in times of need. Since that's the case, I'll shamelessly accept it." Bai Letian said.
This item is indeed very important to Lingxiao Academy. It will accelerate the academy's fortune to take root on the dragon vein here, and at the same time increase the power of the Lingxiao Divine Sword. It is truly a timely help.
After leaving Bai Letian's place, Long Chen greeted the Dragon Blood Legion with Mo Nian. When Guo Ran saw Mo Nian, he couldn't help but shout excitedly and gave him a warm hug.
The other Dragonblood warriors, familiar with Mo Nian, all stepped forward to greet him warmly. Mo Nian was truly impressive—everyone got gifts, even Bai Shishi and Yu Qingxuan had one.
Moreover, the gifts were extremely precious, almost all treasures of the Heavenly Saint divine weapon level. Even the usually aloof Bai Shishi had eyes shining when she saw that flying phoenix glass hairpin.
"Damn it, he managed to pull it off again." Seeing Mo Nian's smug expression, Long Chen felt displeased.
"Boss Mo Nian, when are you taking us to get rich?" Guo Ran received a large pile of divine ore immortal materials he had never seen before, and was so excited he wanted to hug Mo Nian and give him a kiss.
Xia Chen was also thrilled. He had obtained countless inscription materials, some of which were too advanced to control with his current cultivation.
The two had made money together with Mo Nian before. Seeing Mo Nian so generous, with pockets like a cornucovy bowl, endless treasures, they were so envious they were practically drooling.
"Boss Guo Ran, don't get worked up. This time is special. I'll go out with Long Chen to try some things out. If there's a chance to get rich, given our brotherly bond, it's all just a matter of a word." Mo Nian patted his chest and said.
Before leaving, Bai Shishi and Yu Qingxuan warned Long Chen to be careful on the way. After all, they had heard about Mo Nian's half-dead state before, so saying they weren't worried would be a lie.
Long Chen nodded in agreement and left enough pills for everyone. Only then did he bid Mo Nian farewell and leave the crowd behind.
