I guarantee to complete the task!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wu pounded his chest resoundingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The High Priest nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there were three people present. If the task was only meant for Li Wu, there was no need to summon Han Zhan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Han Zhan was called, there must be something that required his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan wasn’t a fool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Li Wu’s enthusiastic declaration, he maintained his posture with both hands in his pockets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just short of tilting his head 45° towards the sky and whistling a few tunes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The High Priest’s offer was meant for Li Wu, not for me. Do I need to buy into it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, his relationship with Li Wu wasn’t close enough to go all out to help him complete the task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your name is Han Zhan, correct?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The High Priest broke the silence, sensing Han Zhan’s reluctance to speak up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Li Wu mentioned that you are from the Fu Xi Race.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ever since the outbreak of the curses, more and more tribes have secluded themselves. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a descendant of the Fu Xi Clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan still remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The High Priest’s face, layered with fat, seemed to have its features squeezed even smaller by the fat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard you’re skilled in alchemy. I can offer you the entire output of the herbal fields around Hejian Village.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I appreciate the High Priest’s kindness, but alchemy is just a pastime for me, not my main profession.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan politely declined the High Priest’s offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason is simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had previously collected a large amount of contaminated herbs; his current stock was sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the herbal field’s yield sounded appealing, cultivating herbs took time, and Han Zhan couldn’t stay in this Fruit World for too long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Han Zhan’s expression, the High Priest realized he was different from Li Wu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Li Wu was one of the Jiuli Clan people. Even if he didn’t buy into the offer, he was still part of the Jiuli Tribe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Han Zhan was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was Han Zhan not part of the Jiuli Race, but strictly speaking, the next task was indispensable to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, they were seeking his help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this could only be analyzed internally, not openly expressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying it outright would surely give Han Zhan control over the entire situation, making it even harder to achieve their goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our Hejian Village has quite a few weapons and armors, all of which are top-notch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t need them,\" Han Zhan shook his head again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had enough weapons, and as for armor, he had the Demon Crossing Cloak. There were indeed better armors, but they weren’t likely to be given as a reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The High Priest was only at the Tier Eight Realm; if he had Tier Eight items, wouldn’t he need them himself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbs, weapons, armor—none worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After contemplating, the High Priest finally thought of something the other party couldn’t refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a cultivation technique here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was created by the Demon God. The Great Chief Chi You once said that mastering it could rival the gods!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you’re interested, I can lend it to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cultivation technique created by the Demon God, endorsed by Chi You? What a compelling hook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan crossed his arms and, after pondering for a moment, said, \"Bring it out first, let me take a look.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Jiuli Tribe’s cultivation technique might not suit me. If it doesn’t fit, wouldn’t it be a wasted opportunity?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shallow thinking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The High Priest shook his large head, resembling a swaying mountain peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A cultivation technique created by the Demon God is like the newly acquired bedroom skill of the Wizard Lineage, bestowed as divine will by a supreme existence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not limited by the identity of the cultivator. Anyone practicing it can experience miraculous transformations.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the High Priest said this, he still opened his mouth and spat out a beast hide covered in saliva.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smell was strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the High Priest opened his mouth, Li Wu had already distanced himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the saliva-drenched beast hide, Han Zhan had reason to suspect the High Priest did it on purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had no proof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only endure the pungent smell and open the beast hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taixu Return Collection?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What an imposing name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this really be a name the Demon God came up with?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a simple comment, Han Zhan continued to read further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called Taixu Return Collection was a body tempering and refining cultivation technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It emphasized exploration and development of the human body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Taixu Return Collection, the body’s orifices were divided into eight great secret repositories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each secret repository unlocked, it’s akin to an extreme body tempering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once these eight secret repositories were fully unlocked, the door to the personal microcosm and treasury of the world would fully open, revealing the key to reaching god-like heights!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone else saw this, they might already be boiling with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Han Zhan wasn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was he not, his face even flashed with a hint of bewilderment and absurdity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the High Priest handed the Taixu Return Collection scroll to Han Zhan, he closely watched his expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Han Zhan did not react as excitedly as he imagined, the High Priest felt a tinge of panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he discover the flaws in the Taixu Return Collection?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The High Priest always felt that this young man named Han Zhan was unpredictable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his age, who wouldn’t be eager upon hearing about a Demon God technique?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet here he was, still so calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The High Priest was unsure and uneasy, unaware of Han Zhan’s true thoughts at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This... why does this cultivation technique feel so familiar? Taixu, Return Collection, human microcosm, eight secret repositories?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, a name quickly flashed through Han Zhan’s mind: Eight Urgencies!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eight Urgent Fist was something his master, Li Shutong, found in a ruin. Its core was about honing oneself between life and death, unlocking the eight Urgent Locks in the body, and surpassing human limits!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, another cultivation technique similarly explored the eight great secret repositories of the human body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could the Taixu Return Collection and Eight Urgencies have a similar underlying principle?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don’t like it, I can offer another...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The High Priest’s words were cut off by Han Zhan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I want this one. It’s great, I’m very satisfied.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Zhan tightened his grip on the beast hide scroll and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You see, this cake is so big and round. I said it, no normal person would resist such a lure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Han Zhan’s words, the High Priest internally breathed a slight sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the Taixu Return Collection, he had lied. It was indeed a body refining technique passed down from the Demon God, but it was one that no one in the Jiuli Tribe could master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, its hype exceeded its value. What value does a cultivation technique that no one can master truly hold?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Great Chief Chi You’s evaluation of it, that was naturally a fabrication by the High Priest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it’s not like Han Zhan could actually meet Chi You and verify it personally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s called wisdom.\u003C\u002Fp>",1225,"2026-06-10T05:31:13.180Z",1,"novelbin.me","7a921086dc4d1373ba5902bbfc382e479663d8a6375af0fef2da3a84449e7e5c","i-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-chapter-422","i-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-chapter-420",617,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-contracted-all-ancient-divine-artifacts-cover.jpg"]
