361. Chapter 361 Fourth-grade Treasure

Jiang Cheng heard and looked over.

He saw Gu Zhangkong holding a dark turtle shell in his hand, the shell covered with patterns, giving a mysterious feeling.

"Gu Dage, what is this?"

He felt this should be a treasure.

Could it be a top-tier third-grade treasure, the kind that can block a Level 10 Force Warrior's attack? "It's a fourth-grade intermediate treasure."

Gu Zhangkong gave a slight smile.

"Fourth-grade intermediate treasure?"

As the words fell, Jiang Cheng's face showed shock.

Yang Chun, however, inhaled sharply.

Just a fourth-grade treasure is already astonishing, because it means it can even block a First-level Grandmaster's attack.

Intermediate means the defensive power steps up another level, even a Second-Level Master cannot breach the defense in a short time.

Of course, the price isn't cheap.

Fourth-grade primary treasures have similar defensive power, but due to differences in the Primordial Force Crystal's capacity and consumption rate, their prices vary, usually between ten million and one hundred million.

Fourth-grade intermediate treasures cost between one hundred million and three hundred million.

Fourth-grade advanced treasures range from three hundred million to one billion in price, with naturally stronger defense, capable of blocking a Third-Level Master's attack.

As for over one billion, that's the realm of Fifth-grade treasures; not even ordinary people, let alone clan disciples, can afford such items.

"Hmm."

Gu Zhangkong nodded.

"Last night, my good younger brother called me again. I had thought he had given up, but who knew that during this time he had been watching you. After learning that your Alchemy Technique was complete, this time he directly named you to go over. I naturally didn't agree and hung up the phone. He surely then called my father, but as you saw, my father did not agree."

After all, if he had agreed, he would have received the call yesterday.

Jiang Cheng, upon hearing, also let out a sigh of relief.

Given his petty, narrow-minded nature, even if we could provide him enough medicinal herbs, once his Alchemy Technique succeeded, he'd probably squeeze him to death.

But this turtle shell?

"Given my brother's temperament, I'm afraid he won't settle so easily."

Gu Zhangkong saw the doubt in Jiang Cheng's eyes and said gravely:

"If overt methods fail, he'll probably resort to unsavory tactics, even go to extremes.

This treasure was originally mine; even if the enemy is a Second-Level Force Master, as long as the Primordial Force Crystal inside hasn't been exhausted, it can keep going. I'll lend it to you for a while; once activated, whenever you are attacked, regardless of the direction, a turtle shell will automatically appear around you to block the blow.

Actually, it would be safer to give you a fourth-grade advanced treasure, but the price is too high; even the cheapest is over three hundred million, and even I can't afford it right now.

A bitter smile appeared on his face.

His good younger brother is different.

Not to mention a fourth-grade advanced treasure, even a fifth-grade one would probably be affordable.

A warmth rose in Jiang Cheng's heart; saying he wasn't moved would be false, yet he felt some worry.

"Gu Dage, if you lend me this treasure, what will you do yourself?"

"I still have a fourth-grade primary defensive treasure that can make do, and besides, no one would go crazy and attack me."

Gu Zhangkong patted Jiang Cheng's shoulder,

"You don't need to worry about me; right now your safety is the most important, not fearing ten thousand but fearing the one in ten thousand, if you get into trouble, even a mountain of herbs placed here won't help,

In short, don't worry about these; when you bring this Alchemy Technique to perfection and earn a few tens of millions a day, then a fourth-grade advanced treasure will be something I can afford to buy."

Jiang Cheng nodded heavily and said no more pretenses.

"Gu Dage, rest assured, in the future I'll definitely let you afford a fourth-grade advanced treasure; the fifth-grade ones will be no problem!" "Hahaha, good! That's what you said, you must not break your word."

Gu Zhangkong laughed heartily.

He placed the Xuan Gui Shield into Jiang Cheng's hand.

"Alright, I won't disturb your alchemy any longer; if any problems arise later, just give me a call."

"Hmm."

Jiang Cheng agreed, took the Tianluo Umbrella from his pocket, and handed it over.

Gu Zhangkong nodded and took it.

After all, Jiang Cheng already possessed a fourth-grade treasure; this Tianluo Umbrella is only a third-grade advanced item, and it's time for it to be "retired".

The two left the Lian Dan Shi one after another.

In the corridor, Yang Chun couldn't help but say, "Supervisor, have you placed everything on Jiang Lao Di?"

Gu Zhangkong took a deep breath and nodded.

He never wanted to take it slow, but his older brother wouldn't give him that time, right? Even that fifth junior brother is probably scheming in secret, making some small moves.

If he were willing to lie flat like that second brother, perhaps there wouldn't be so many worries.

But he isn't.

People vie for a breath of air, while Buddhas vie for a single incense stick.

He still wants to achieve something, to prove it to everyone.

In the Lian Dan Shi.

Jiang Cheng bit his finger, letting a drop of blood fall onto the turtle shell.

Immediately, his mind linked to this treasure, including its name and usage.

What surprised him was that the Primordial Force Crystal inside, though only one, contained ten million Force Light Points! The Xuan Gui Shield consumes at most two hundred thousand Force Light Points per second, so ten million points can sustain it for about a minute.

"Truly worthy of being from the family."

Jiang Cheng felt a sigh in his heart.

With this thing, he felt he could now break into the Dawn Society Headquarters.

Of course, just think about it—after all, Gu Zhangkong lent him this thing to let him refine alchemy calmly, not to go out fighting.

"He's a good person,"

Jiang Cheng put away the turtle shell.

He picked up the small booklet beside him that recorded the Alchemy Technique.

After a quick skim, the Panel immediately displayed the Awakening Pill skill.

Before changing, Jiang Cheng already planned to start refining alchemy.

He didn't care about timing or temperature; as long as the potency was sufficient, after refining a few batches, the Experience Value would increase, and these would naturally appear in his mind.

But this time, it was different.

The cost of the ingredients was high, and Gu Zhangkong also found it difficult.

Saving even a little helped.

So Jiang Cheng found a place to sit, took the notebook beside him, and while reading, he wrote and sketched in the notebook.

The method of refining the Awakening Pill is far more complex than that of the Calming Pill; just reading it makes one's head spin, let alone having to practice each step, where even a single mistake can affect the pill's quality.

Fortunately, Jiang Cheng had a foundation, so he could mostly understand it, and finally on a sheet of paper he wrote down his current understanding of this Alchemy Technique.

After that, he formally began refining the elixir. (End of chapter)
