Chapter 419: Stay Vigilant
December 13, 2024
Jiang Cheng's thoughts seemed to echo this reasoning, but deep within, he still felt conflicted.
The source of his conflict was the Qingyu Panlong Pendant.
Undeniably, the other treasure, the Leilong Talisman, was also exceptional. Carrying it would be like having a Fifth Rank Grandmaster by his side, ready to lend a helping hand.
However, compared to the Qingyu Panlong Pendant, there was still a significant gap, and this was reflected in their prices as well.
The Qingyu Panlong Pendant could increase his cultivation speed by 400 times, far surpassing the 50 times boost provided by the Moonlight Pendant he currently wore. Of course, the Moonlight Pendant could also be used, but the time consumption between the two was vastly different.
Seeing Jiang Cheng's gaze constantly shifting between the three treasures, Chu Feng smiled and said, "Little brother Jiang Cheng, you don't need to worry too much. It's true that deep in the mountains, there are countless dangers, and even I dare not venture into some places.
But Heart Lotus is an Eighth Rank Spiritual Master. When she unleashes her psychic energy, nothing within a radius of two to three hundred meters can escape her perception. So, even if we encounter some threats, we'll know in advance and be able to avoid them."
"I see."
Hearing these words, Jiang Cheng felt much more at ease, and his gaze towards Heart Lotus held a hint of awe.
He knew that the latter was not weak, but he hadn't expected her to be an Eighth Rank Spiritual Master, just a step away from becoming a Supreme Being.
As for Chu Feng, from Elder Qin's previous words, he could guess that although he wasn't a Supreme Being, he was just a step away from reaching that level.
"That's right. So, you don't need to fixate on these two Lesser Sixth Rank defensive items. As for the Qingyu Panlong Pendant, you already have a Moonlight Pendant, and unless your psychic energy has also reached the Grandmaster level,
these two items won't make much difference for you. So, I suggest you choose one defensive treasure and one offensive one, like this talisman, for example. That way, you'll have both offense and defense covered. Of course,"
Chu Feng laughed, "This is just my personal suggestion, not a requirement. The choice is still yours."
Elder Qin and Heart Lotus, standing by, didn't show much reaction.
Just as Chu Feng had thought, they knew that either of them getting any one of the four treasures would be a great gain.
The other person, on the other hand, wouldn't be able to use any of the treasures, so they weren't too concerned about Jiang Cheng's choice.
"Thank you for the reminder, Leader."
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, "In that case, I'll choose the Sky Pillar Tower from the two Lesser Sixth Rank treasures, and the Qingyu Panlong Pendant for the other."
The three present, including Chu Feng, were momentarily stunned.
Jiang Cheng's choice of the Sky Pillar Tower was understandable, but the Qingyu Panlong Pendant...
"Leader, here's my thinking. Once my psychic energy reaches the Grandmaster level, I'll still need the Qingyu Panlong Pendant for faster cultivation. Since that's the case, I might as well get it now."
Jiang Cheng smiled.
This was one of the reasons.
The most crucial factor was that due to his Attribute Panel, even as a Fifth Rank Psychic Energy Master, he could maximize the effect of the Qingyu Panlong Pendant.
"That makes sense."
Chu Feng nodded.
Such matters were subjective, and he didn't want to persuade Jiang Cheng further. Instead, he confirmed, "So, you've decided on these two? Let me remind you that once you make a decision, you can't change your mind."
"I've made up my mind, and I won't regret it."
Jiang Cheng nodded repeatedly.
"Good, I've removed the restrictions on these two items. Once you obtain them, you can directly claim ownership with a drop of blood. As for their specific usage, you'll understand when the time comes, and you can ask me if there's anything you don't know."
Chu Feng smiled and handed over the two treasures to Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng examined them with his psychic energy, and indeed, both treasures were now unclaimed.
"Xinyin, Elder Qin, you can each choose one of these two treasures," Chu Feng said in front of Jiang Cheng, indicating that he wasn't being stingy and unwilling to give the remaining treasures to Jiang Cheng.
"I'll take this Thunder Dragon Charm. It's just what I need, as I lack an offensive-type treasure," Elder Qin said with a grin.
"In that case, I'll take the Frost Mirror," Shen Xinlian said.
"Alright, it's settled then."
Chu Feng wasn't surprised and handed over the remaining two treasures to them.
The distribution of the loot ended with everyone satisfied.
"Thank you again, Leader, and also to Captain Shen and Elder Qin," Jiang Cheng expressed his gratitude once more.
Even with his ability to refine top-grade Vigor Pills, it would be unrealistic to obtain these two treasures, worth two to three years' worth of value, within a short time.
"Hahaha, young brother, you're too polite. It's I who should be thanking you," Elder Qin laughed heartily.
"You're welcome," Shen Xinlian's tone softened as well, knowing that without Jiang Cheng luring out Gu Changlin, they wouldn't have had these gains.
"That's right, Jiang, you forgot that we're from the same organization. We're like family," Chu Feng said, patting Jiang Cheng's shoulder affectionately.
"You're right, Leader."
Jiang Cheng smiled and nodded.
"Alright, let's wrap up the distribution of the loot. I'll now tell you about the arrangements for the journey ahead."
"Please do, Leader."
"Tomorrow morning, we'll set off in two off-road vehicles. After reaching the mountain's foot, we'll head towards the base. As I mentioned before, even if there are dangers along the way, we can avoid them in advance. But if those dangers actively seek us out, it's a different story."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng's face turned slightly pale.
"Do you remember the people from the Shadow Church we encountered when we left the Inner District through the underground tunnel?"
"Do you mean they might betray us and inform the Ancient Family of our whereabouts, leading to a pursuit?"
"Exactly."
Chu Feng's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Although the likelihood is small, the Shadow Church has always been hostile towards the various factions in the Inner District. They wouldn't usually take the initiative to inform on us. As the saying goes, 'Don't worry about the one in ten thousand, worry about the one in a million.' If they choose to betray us, it will bring us no small amount of trouble."
He stared into Jiang Cheng's eyes.
"We need to speed up. We'll rest tonight, and tomorrow, before dawn, we'll set off. Once we reach the mountain, you'll carry the elder, and Shen Xinlian will carry one of the other two women. If you don't mind, Elder Qin can help carry the other. Of course, you can also choose to carry one and hold the other as you rush to the base. For a Grandmaster like you, this shouldn't be a problem. If we don't do this, it will take at least ten days to reach the base from the periphery, which is too long."
"How many days can we save with this arrangement?"
"If all goes well, it will be as short as two days, or as long as three."
