Chapter 38 This Emperor Has Many Treasures
Wei Chen had walked more than ten meters when he was about to use a minor escape technique.
"Fellow Taoist, please stay!"
Wei Chen was startled and almost fell to the ground. He felt an urge to run away!
He turned around and glared angrily at Wang Shu, saying, "What else is there?"
"Fellow Taoist, please sit down!"
Wang Shu was puzzled by the glare, her calm expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her cool demeanor and spoke slowly.
Upon hearing this, Wei Chen's eyelids twitched. Wasn't this exactly the context of Shen Gongbao's entrapment tactics?
First came "Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment," then "Fellow Daoist, please sit down!" And then... get ready to be listed on the Investiture of the Gods!
Wei Chen sat back down on the stone bench, annoyed, and said impatiently, "Fellow Daoist, speak quickly!"
Wang Shu was puzzled as to why Wei Chen had suddenly become somewhat irritable, but she didn't take it to heart.
After hesitating for a moment, just as Wei Chen was getting impatient and wanted to leave.
Wei Chen saw a hint of reluctance flash across Wang Shuqing's calm and composed face and her usually placid eyes.
His heart skipped a beat. "Could it be that Wang Shu has suddenly changed her mind and wants to become my Daoist partner? If that's the case, should I refuse or accept?"
Wei Chen was conflicted. If Wang Shu was willing to become his Daoist partner, then it wouldn't matter if he had to cover himself with several more blankets.
After all, Wang Shu was too beautiful! No man could possibly dislike such an ethereal goddess!
However, Wang Shu's next words made Wei Chen realize that he had been overthinking things...
"I have failed you, fellow Daoist. This is (Spark), please accept it—"
Wang Shu reluctantly opened her fair, jade-like palm, and a cluster of sparks suddenly appeared.
As its name suggests, Xinghuo is pitch black and deep, dotted with countless stars, like a miniature starry sky.
Wei Chen was overjoyed and wanted to put it away. Then, as if remembering something, he roared, "What do you mean? Am I a cultivator who lacks treasures?"
Although he really wanted to accept Xinghuo's help, he couldn't. If he did, wouldn't that be the same as being jilted and humiliated?
Wang Shu was taken aback and didn't react for a moment.
Wei Chen thought for a moment, then quickly put away the Starfire. He took out the Sun Wheel and tossed it to Wang Shu, which was considered an exchange.
The Sun Wheel is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, enough to exchange for Starfire.
He has no use for the Sun Wheel; it's perfect for exchanging it. The Starfire is of great use to him, as it relates to his future enlightenment.
Spark is an innate divine fire, theoretically no worse than any innate spiritual treasure, and may even surpass it.
Because divine fire of the same level has a stronger attack power than spiritual treasures. However, divine fire requires a great deal of effort to nurture!
For example, the current Spark is equivalent to an innate magic treasure, and the goal is to cultivate it to the level of an innate top-grade spiritual treasure.
The price to pay is enough to create a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Therefore, exchanging the Sun Wheel for the Starfire is sufficient!
As soon as the sun wheel appeared, the raging, scorching true fire of the sun spread instantly, burning the void with a hissing sound.
This was only because Wei Chen had placed a restriction on it; otherwise, the Sun Wheel would have been even more violent, comparable to the True Sun Fire of the Sun Star.
Wang Shu's expression changed slightly, and he lost his composure, exclaiming in surprise, "Sun Wheel, fellow Daoist went to the Sun Star?"
Wei Chen didn't answer, but chuckled to himself. "So you think you're so aloof? But in front of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, you still have to obediently reveal your true form."
Wei Chen admired Wang Shu greatly at this moment. Their marriage was preordained by heaven, and there was no question of who owed whom.
Wang Shu offered Xing Huo as compensation; though her face was aloof, her heart was so generous that it made one feel ashamed.
Unlike Wei Chen, Wang Shu did not take the other party's treasure without any hesitation.
He said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist, are you unaware that this treasure already has an owner? Why would you steal someone else's opportunity? Aren't you afraid of incurring karmic consequences?"
Wei Chen was taken aback, then sneered and said, "What opportunity of others? What I obtain is mine! Now that I'm exchanging it with you, it's yours!"
What nonsense about chance and cause and effect... Who can explain such vague things?
Even the Heavenly Dao probably doesn't understand...
After a moment of silence, Wangshu put away the sun chakra!
He then took out a piece of Taiyin Essence Gold the size of a millstone and said to Wei Chen, "I cannot take advantage of you, fellow Daoist! Starfire is far inferior to the Sun Wheel, so consider this Taiyin Essence Gold as compensation!"
Wei Chen secretly admired Wang Shu's generosity; such a large piece of Taiyin Essence Gold was more than enough to nurture a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure!
They give them away so easily now, without even blinking an eye.
"No need, I have plenty of treasures, I don't need Taiyin Refined Gold!" Wei Chen waved his hand generously.
"This..." Wang Shu's expression froze. There really were such people. You have to know that there are hardly any innate spiritual treasures in the current prehistoric world.
Those who possess innate spiritual treasures are all powerful beings. Yet Wei Chen seems to disregard innate spiritual treasures; does he truly possess a great many?
If Wei Chen really has a lot of treasures, then why would he risk going to the Sun Star?
Wang Shu knew better than anyone how dangerous the Sun Star was. Even if she went there, she might not come out alive; it was a matter of life and death.
"Take it! I have many treasures!" Wei Chen laughed.
Wang Shu's expression shifted several times, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion.
She didn't understand why Wei Chen would say such a thing. Wasn't he afraid of bringing disaster upon himself because of it?
"Hehe~~ Take it!" Wei Chen laughed. He understood perfectly well the importance of keeping one's wealth hidden; on the contrary, he was well aware of it.
In those years, almost every time I met Suzaku, I was exploited by him.
If it weren't for his vast treasure trove, it would have been completely drained by the Vermilion Bird long ago.
Wang Shu took a deep breath, withdrew the Taiyi Gold, and said, "Fellow Daoist is generous and magnanimous; I am ashamed to say that I am not as good as you!"
"But..." Wang Shu hesitated, wanting to give Wei Chen a hint, but unsure how to say it.
Exposing one's treasures is tantamount to suicide in the prehistoric world.
Is Wei Chen a fool or a madman to say something like that?
Wang Shu is unable to judge Wei Chen's actions!
Wei Chen laughed it off, knowing full well that Wang Shu meant well.
Wang Shu is aloof and doesn't like socializing, so telling her won't hurt!
Wei Chen believed that Wang Shu would never tell anyone, much less kill someone to steal the treasure.
Wei Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Fellow Daoist, have you ever traveled the primordial land?"
“Since my birth, I have never left the Taiyin Star!” Wang Shu said calmly.
Wei Chen's eyes lit up, and he said, "May I call you Wang Shu? Also, you can call me Wei Chen! Addressing each other as fellow Daoist is too formal."
Wang Shu frowned, instinctively wanting to refuse, but ultimately nodded gently.
Wei Chen and she were destined to be together, and he even gave her a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. If she refused even such a small thing, it would seem like she had no magnanimity.
Wei Chen was overjoyed. Whether he could achieve his goal depended on his performance now!
