Chapter 392: Azure Jade Coiled Dragon Pendant

392. Chapter 392: Azure Jade Coiled Dragon Pendant

"Hahaha, little brother, I understand what you mean; it's just that the principle is the same."

Gao Ling laughed.

"It's like a third- or fourth-level Spiritual Thought Master obtaining an S-level Psychic Weapon; how much of its power could be unleashed? Not even a tenth— even one percent would be impressive. If it's a treasure that restores Spiritual Power, it's the same. But since it's used for restoring Spiritual Power rather than fighting, the difficulty is much lower, so at your level, after becoming proficient, increasing Spiritual Power recovery speed by two or three times is no problem."

"Even rarer is that with such a treasure you can use it for a long time; even if you reach Ninth Level or become a Ten-level Spirit Thought Master, the Spiritual Power recovery speed can still be more than double. If you become a Grandmaster, it might only be a single times, or even less."

"I see."

Jiang Cheng listened and was indeed very excited.

Because he is currently a Fifth-level Spirit Mind Master.

"Brother Gao, I understand what you mean. I owe Brother Changkong money; by my calculation, it should be settled today, right?"

"Exactly," Gao Ling laughed. "I was just about to tell you this. Once today's batch of elixirs enters the storage, your debt to Gu Changkong will be fully cleared. From then on, your daily commission will be transferred to your account on the first of each month; that's why I told you this."

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath.

Finally, it's paid off.

"Brother Gao, how about this: after ten days, I'll buy a fourth-grade basic treasure from you to restore Spiritual Power. Is that possible?"

"It's certainly possible, but," Gao Ling sighed lightly, "you can tell from the price that the difficulty of crafting such a treasure is several times that of making other treasures of the same grade. Once made, it's extremely sought after, often priced but unsold. Even here, at the Auction, it's the same."

He glanced at Jiang Cheng and said, "When I get back, I'll check with Changlin to see if there's any surplus; if there is, I'll supply it to you first."

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Brother Gao."

Jiang Cheng quickly replied.

Such a treasure that accelerates Spiritual Power recovery is indeed rare in the Outer City District, but it may not be so in the Inner City District.

After all, in the Inner City District, the sale of various weapons, elixirs, and treasures is handled not only by the Gu Family but also by other clan forces.

Unfortunately, if he wants to leave now, he must first greet Gao Ling; otherwise, the gate won't let him pass.

As for scaling the wall to leave? That's even more unrealistic. When he was in the Outer City District, he was spotted as soon as he tried to leave, let alone here.

So the other side has this locked down, likely to manipulate the profit split or the number of elixirs.

"Hahaha, no worries, little brother, rest assured; I'll give it my all," Gao Ling said enthusiastically, patting Jiang Cheng on the shoulder.

After watching Gao Ling leave with his men, Jiang Cheng shook his head.

The other side is scheming.

Fortunately, he also does.

After more than a month of alchemy, the Experience Bar is less than half full; it's estimated that in about another month, the Awakening Pill will be fully completed.

Now, he can refine six furnaces of Top-grade Awakening Pill each day; after handing over four furnaces daily, two furnaces remain for himself.

Of course, to be safe, he has already taken the Gold Bell Visualization Diagram into the Lian Dan Shi and consumed it on the spot.

"It's not early yet, but it's time to go back; tonight is the moment to breakthrough to Grandmaster."

Thinking of this, a spark of brilliance flashed in Jiang Cheng's eyes.

After waiting for several months, this day finally arrived.

On the other side.

After Gao Ling returned, he immediately contacted Gu Zhanglin. The latter, upon hearing, wore a proud expression.

"Old Gao, well done."

"Not at all, it's all thanks to your instructions, Changlin," Gao Ling said cheerfully. "So tomorrow I'll take a Moonlight Jade Pendant from the storage to lend him? Of course, as a condition, for the next few days he must refine five furnaces of Top-grade Awakening Pill for us each day."

"Brother, could there be a possibility? Has he already managed to refine five furnaces of elixirs daily?" Gu Zhanglin suddenly asked.

"Changlin, what do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Ling's smile vanished instantly. "He's holding back his strength, or perhaps he has already refined five furnaces but only gives us four?"

"Yes, I've asked Changkong these past few days and know his alchemy technique level is rising quickly, almost every ten days to half a month there's progress. This time, from when he arrived here until now, it's been over a month, right?"

"About a month and a half, right?"

Gao Ling thought for a moment.

"Changlin, could it be that the Awakening Pill's difficulty is too high? After all, this is a Three-grade Elixir."

Mainly, such matters are hard to guard against.

Unless someone watches him all day, but then Jiang Cheng would certainly be displeased, even saying that constant surveillance hampers his performance.

"You have a point; never mind, maybe I'm overthinking it."

Gu Zhanglin shrugged.

"Alright, tomorrow give him two options.

The first option is what you said: lend him a Moonlight Jade Pendant, but as payment, from now on he must refine at least five furnaces of Top-grade Awakening Pill each day."

"And the other?"

Gao Ling had a thought.

"The other is to lend him an Azure Jade Coiled Dragon Pendant."

"Azure Jade Coiled Dragon Pendant?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Ling opened his mouth wide.

He originally thought Gu Zhanglin wanted him to send a fourth-grade high-quality jade pendant, but it turned out to be the Azure Jade Coiled Dragon Pendant?

That jade pendant is the Gu Family's master craftsman's pinnacle work, a fifth-grade basic treasure, usable by a Fourth-level Spirit Master, doubling Spiritual Power recovery speed during meditation.

The price, of course, is steep.

Generally, fifth-grade basic treasures range from one to two billion in price, and the Azure Jade Coiled Dragon Pendant, because it restores Spiritual Power and thus speeds cultivation, is not much cheaper than the sixth-grade alchemy furnace previously lent to Jiang Cheng.

He quickly understood Gu Zhanglin's meaning.

"The condition is to reduce it by ten percent?"

Not bad.

Gu Zhanglin's lips curled into a faint smile.

Azure Jade Coiled Dragon Pendant, its value is close to a hundred billion; even if he could earn ten million a day, wanting to repay it would take several years, our doing this also carries great risk, asking for his ten percent share is also appropriate,

Besides that, the number of furnaces he refines each day must not be less than five; after a while, it will be increased to six, or even more. (End of chapter)
