Chapter 476: with translation of chapter title

If it were someone else, such as Qin Lao, hearing Jiang Cheng's words would surely be beyond belief.

Wan Lin and Chu Feng, however, exchanged a glance, a flash of astonishment in their eyes.

Theoretically speaking, for those below a Fourth-Grade Spiritual Master, fully unleashing the effect of the Azure Jade Coiled Dragon Pendant exists only as a theoretical possibility.

For example, with the pendant's aid, most people's spiritual power recovery speed can reach two to three times, or three to four times, that without the pendant.

Yet some geniuses can make this effect become five to six times, or seven to eight times.

And the two of them are among such individuals; or rather, those who have the potential to become Supreme possess talent far surpassing ordinary people, whether in cultivation or in treasure usage.

Thus, after a brief surprise, both felt joy in their hearts.

They had previously believed that Jiang Cheng had the potential to become Supreme; now they are even more convinced of this idea.

"You said earlier that the effect of the Azure Jade Coiled Dragon Pendant is hard to further improve, right?" Wan Lin asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes."

Jiang Cheng hesitated a moment; he had originally wanted to conceal it a bit, but then felt there was no need.

First, if he lied, he probably couldn't fool the Big Chief.

Second, the higher the talent he displays, the more attention he can gain.

"Then, when using the pendant, how long does it take you to fully recover your spiritual power with one meditation?" Wan Lin asked this question the next second.

"Around two to three minutes." Jiang Cheng answered truthfully.

"Hiss..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng at the side sucked in a breath of cold air.

"Two to three minutes..."

Wan Lin narrowed her eyes; her intuition told her Jiang Cheng was not lying.

"Perhaps you, kid, truly have extraordinary talent in the spiritual aspect."

After a moment, she sighed.

Just like in that previous battle, when their strengths were equal, she had no power to fight back.

"Jiang Cheng, it seems your initial choice of this pendant was indeed for your reasons; I underestimated you," Chu Feng also expressed.

Jiang Cheng smiled, "Perhaps it's also because the Azure Jade Coiled Dragon Pendant's grade isn't high, so it's not difficult to use, allowing me to master it so quickly."

"Hehehe." Chu Feng laughed without speaking.

How could he not know the truth after all?

"Alright, kid."

Wan Lin's voice sounded, she asked with a smile: "Since the Azure Jade Coiled Dragon Pendant offers you no further room for improvement, what grade of treasure would you like?"

"This..."

Jiang Cheng scratched his head embarrassedly, "For me, naturally the higher the grade the better, but I also have to consider realistic factors; I don't know if wanting a sixth-grade elementary spiritual recovery treasure is too much."

A sixth-grade elementary treasure is for use by a Seventh-level Spiritual Master.

If he could obtain it and fully max out his proficiency, his spiritual power breakthrough speed would become eight times the current rate! In other words, he now needs half a month to break through from a Tenth-level Spiritual Thought Master to a First-level Grandmaster.

By then, he would need only two to three days!

Including afterward, from First-level to Second-level Spiritual Master, Second-level to Third-level, and so on, the same principle applies! The atmosphere in the room instantly fell silent, so quiet that the drop of a needle could be heard.

Jiang Cheng looked at Wan Lin with full anticipation.

"You kid aren't greedy." Wan Lin couldn't help but laugh: "The base can still produce a sixth-grade elementary treasure, and even a seventh-grade elementary one exists."

Upon hearing this, not only Jiang Cheng but also Chu Feng's expression changed.

A seventh-grade treasure is prepared for the Supreme.

Even if it only speeds up spiritual power recovery, cannot attack or defend, it is still a seventh-grade treasure, and there are only two such items in the entire base.

Both items were initially in Wan Lin's hands.

Later, after he reached Seventh-level Spiritual Master, Wan Lin gave him one of them, and he has used it ever since.

"Could it be that Master intends to give Jiang Cheng the one she herself wears?"

This thought popped into Chu Feng's mind.

On the other side, Jiang Cheng was also inwardly shocked.

Seven, seventh-grade elementary?

Looking at it one by one, there is not a single mistaken version!

What does the Big Chief mean by saying this? Could it be that he really intends to give me a seventh-grade elementary treasure?

Although he has desired this more than once in his heart, it is too precious; even if he refined alchemy every day from morning to night, spending ten or twenty years, he might not be able to afford such an item.

"How come? Don't you want it?" Wan Lin saw Jiang Cheng's inner thought and teased: "Just now you said the higher the grade the better, right? One is?"

"Cough cough."

Jiang Cheng hurriedly coughed twice, "Big Chief, it's just that because I won once against you in the recent battle, taking a seventh-grade elementary treasure would be inappropriate, so a sixth-grade elementary one will do."

Chu Feng, upon hearing this, also let out a relieved breath.

He knew Jiang Cheng was not a person greedy without limit.

"Who would have thought that upon saying this, Wan Lin suddenly straightened her face: "So you're saying you're afraid? You don't dare to take it?""

Jiang Cheng was stunned.

He looked at her doubtfully.

"I'll give you one more chance: choose the sixth-grade elementary treasure or the seventh-grade elementary one?"

Jiang Cheng was completely dumbfounded.

"No, this choice is something even a fool would know how to make."

After a moment, he took a deep breath and said, "Since the Big Chief says so, I'll speak frankly: I want to choose the seventh-grade elementary treasure, and indeed, the higher the grade the better."

"Hahaha."

Wan Lin laughed heartily, heavily patting Jiang Cheng's shoulder, "Well said, a man of ambition—how could he have no ambition at all? Since we can choose something better, why not choose it? Just like now, we live underground, which seems fine, but if we could live on the surface, why would we choose to live underground?"

Jiang Cheng saw deep sorrow in her eyes; although this hint of sorrow was fleeting.

Wan Lin's voice sounded again, carrying a hint of helplessness.

"However… if you want a Seven-grade Treasure of initial level or above, old woman I can't give it to you; if you want it, you'll have to go out and find a way yourself—buy it or steal it, it's up to you."

"Big Chief..." a warm current rose deep in Jiang Cheng's heart.

Big Chief, is it really going to give me a Seven-grade Treasure of initial level? If so, this old woman before me is absolutely the best person to him since he arrived here, aside from Grandma and Chen Sao.

Seven-grade Treasure! Its value is at least over ten trillion! Morning Star's entire planet's annual gross output is less than a hundred trillion! And a treasure that restores Spiritual Power basically costs ten times more than other treasures of the same grade, possibly reaching ten or several dozen trillion! One such treasure equals a fraction of Morning Star's annual gross output! In other words, with Morning Star's resources, only a few such grade treasures can be produced in a year.
