Chapter 496: Growable Treasure!

Growable Treasure! . . .

Cha Eun Xiao smiled and spoke, "I know nothing about this thing. If Brother Ling doesn't want to give it to me, let's just forget what I said earlier. To be honest, no matter how you try to glorify this thing, it is still hard to believe that a treasure can defend against the lightning punishment."

"It sounds exactly like flapdoodle," Cha Eun Xiao chuckled. "I truly don't want to make more Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan beads. It is simply risking my own life. I don't think it is worthy."

The two ladies couldn't contain their anger, and their eyes blazed with fury. They were far from being naive individuals and had sharp discernment. The Golden Soul Tower that Ling Wuxie had presented was undoubtedly a mystical object of considerable power. Surprisingly, it was of a rather low level and belonged to the category of rare spiritual treasures that could grow.

Even Master Bai had not encountered such a rare treasure, and yet Feng Zhiling seemed to be pushing it away. He was taking a considerable advantage, yet he acted as if he were reluctantly accepting it.

This treasure was a marvel just to behold for ordinary mortals.

Ling Wuxie, feeling a sense of frustration, remarked, "I don't know what to say to you now. It is truly something significant. I can understand. You've grown up in this low-class realm, so you have no idea how significant this treasure is. It is reasonable for you to be cautious."

Wan and Xiu, along with Cha Eun Xiao, were left dumbfounded. Ling Wuxie's words were baffling. Were they meant to be a compliment or criticism, an explanation or an insult?

Ling Wuxie continued, "This Golden Soul Tower possesses a potent spiritual attribute. It can activate itself and can also be activated by other powerful energies. However, it requires a specific energy source. For the defensive shield, all you need to do is merge your soul with it, and it will automatically activate the protection mode. The gold crystal inside the Golden Soul Tower is exceptionally robust, making it relatively simple for it to defend against lightning."

"But there isn't a large quantity of gold crystal inside. If you allow me to activate it, it will conserve a significant amount of gold crystal. Once proven, it can withstand hundreds of lightning strikes. If you activate it yourself, it will only be capable of withstanding lightning strikes no more than thirty times, given your level of cultivation. I'm sorry, but that's something I cannot change."

Cha Eun Xiao wasn't pleased. "That's the only shortcoming I have. Must you keep mentioning it again and again?"

Ling Wuxie added, "If you deplete the gold crystal, you won't be able to replenish it in this realm. In another world, you won't be able to access the other functions of the Golden Soul Tower until you break through to a higher level. I need to emphasize that while it's a remarkable treasure, it comes with requirements."

Cha Eun Xiao got to the point, saying, "That's not the main concern. All I want is to stay alive. As long as I can remain safe after I complete the dan beads, everything is fine. Once the supreme dan beads are ready, I won't need to use this treasure anymore. Thirty times may not be ideal, but it's a considerable improvement. If this treasure truly functions as you described, I agree to this deal."

Cha Eun Xiao refrained from expressing any doubt or disbelief. He sensed that Ling Wuxie was on the brink, and any further skepticism might lead to the offer being revoked. To secure the deal, he decided to pivot his approach.

Ling Wuxie and the two ladies were taken aback by Cha Eun Xiao's response. It seemed as if he had gone from complete disbelief to utter faith in a matter of moments.

In Cha Eun Xiao's thoughts, he couldn't help but chuckle inwardly, thinking, "Gold crystal? It needs gold crystal as a power source? Hahahahahaha..."

He was well aware that the Land of Han-Yang had no gold crystal, and Ling Wuxie didn't need to explicitly mention it. However, what set Cha Eun Xiao apart was his Gold Space, capable of producing gold crystal. As long as his Boundless Space contained enough valuable metals, it could generate gold crystal. The more metals it had, the more gold crystal it could produce. The current contents of the Space were more than sufficient for his needs, and it wouldn't deplete quickly, regardless of how it was utilized.

Cha Eun Xiao promptly agreed, projecting an air of righteousness, justice, and humility as he accepted the deal. He had no intention of giving Ling Wuxie an opportunity to retract the offer. The thought of Ling Wuxie changing his mind was unbearable, considering his apparent attachment to the Golden Soul Tower. Cha Eun Xiao hoped that everything would proceed smoothly.

Ling Wuxie was taken aback by Cha Eun Xiao's response. He had been calculating, considering that Cha Eun Xiao would face around fifty dan divine punishments, and his treasure could only withstand thirty in Cha Eun Xiao's hands, which was far from sufficient.

His plan had been to suggest an alternative method of defense using their collective abilities instead of giving up their cherished collections. He expected Cha Eun Xiao to be dissatisfied with this proposition as well, but he assumed he could keep his precious Golden Soul Tower.

However, Cha Eun Xiao's immediate acceptance of the deal caught Ling Wuxie off guard. Cha Eun Xiao took the Golden Soul Tower from Ling Wuxie's hand and examined it closely. He remarked, "Gee, how exquisite. Even if it becomes useless to me, I can keep it as a decoration. It's lightweight. I might even give it to my future son as a toy..."

The shock on Ling Wuxie and the two ladies' faces was evident.

"Furnishing? Toy?" they echoed in disbelief.

Cha Eun Xiao simply grinned and continued, "Yes, don't you think it's so pretty? It's an excellent choice for decoration or a toy. How delightful!"
