Chapter 1634
The two of them had waited for a long time, and it was finally their turn. They were originally filled with excitement and anticipation for this meeting, but who knew that Zi Chen's low self-mockery would make the two of them stand there in a daze.
Seeing their changing expressions, Zi Chen immediately reacted and said in surprise, "You two are here too."
Then … Then, under everyone's gaze, the two women pounced on Zi Chen, one on the left and one on the right.
There were envious and jealous gazes all around, and some people subconsciously looked at Jin Qingcheng. The latter's expression did not change, and there was a smile at the corner of her mouth. No one knew what she was thinking.
Obviously, the two women were more direct than Jin Qingcheng's usual teasing words.
Sure enough, Zi Chen recalled the debt that he had just seen. Shang Guan Hong and Dong Qing's names were on it.
There were two groups of people who had come one after another. Almost all the people who had trained together in the Manor Realm had come. Because they had fought together before, everyone could quickly establish a new trust.
There was not much time left for Zi Chen. The joy of meeting only lasted for a day. The next day, Shang Guan Hong and Dong Qing continued to familiarize themselves with the world, and Zi Chen still had many things to deal with.
The next day, Zi Chen was alone with Shoumu.
"You succeeded." Shoumu was the first to speak.
Zi Chen nodded and then smiled bitterly. "I thought that I had grown enough, but I didn't expect that I was still far from it."
Shoumu shook his head and said, "It's not that you're not good, but that you've taken the wrong path."
Zi Chen nodded again. Suddenly, he looked at Shoumu in confusion and asked, "Do you have a way?"
"There are some ways, but I can't give them to you now," Shoumu said truthfully.
"Why? Isn't it good to have more people?"
"I can only bring one person back."
Zi Chen still did not give up and asked directly, "What price do I have to pay?"
Shoumu was silent.
Zi Chen was relieved. He did not even pay the price of the Devouring God Seal, so there was no need to talk about the second price.
After refining the Devouring God Seal, Zi Chen could clearly sense the difference between his current strength and his previous strength.
Ignoring everything else, just take his body as an example. When he entered the Zhan Wu Continent, Zi Chen already had a Perfect Body. After arriving at the Zhan Wu Continent, he cultivated the Nine Astral Lightning King Body, making his body extremely powerful.
However, in this place, his powerful physical body was almost completely suppressed. The blood in his body was no longer golden, but pure red.
Just in terms of physical strength, Zi Chen had a long way to go.
"When are you going to leave?" Shouki asked again.
"Let's go." Zi Chen looked at Shouki in surprise.
Shoumu smiled and said, "I made the Devouring God Seal. Of course, I know what it does. By the way, no matter what you devour, it won't be as fast as devouring aliens."
Zi Chen knew this very well. Furthermore, he suspected that the goal of the Devouring God Seal was to kill more aliens.
As though he knew what Zi Chen was worried about, Shoumu said directly, "You don't have to worry about anything here. I can condense Spirit Crystals. It's completely efficient. Apart from that, I can also condense some special weapons. Of course, it will take a long time. Furthermore, I can't mass produce them."
Zi Chen thought for a moment and said, "Let's refine some Spirit Crystals and some healing medicine first. As for special weapons, I'll distribute them when the time comes. By the way, you can refine law chips."
"Of course. I guarantee the only effect." Shoumu looked confident.
"Alright, this is for you. You'll be in charge of trading with them in the future." Zi Chen handed Shoumu a storage bag.
Shoumu, who had passed through several areas, naturally knew the value of a storage bag. Seeing Zi Chen easily give him one, his eyes were filled with surprise.
"Trust is mutual."
Zi Chen smiled and left without looking back. A moment later, Zi Chen's voice sounded, "Tell them that I'm going out to train and will be back in two months."
"I'll definitely pass on the message," Shoumu replied.
Not long after Zi Chen left, Viper arrived. When he saw the storage bag in Shoumu's hand, he said meaningfully, "This is a good start."
Shoumu nodded and said, "Not bad. Trust is mutual. It seems that I need to earn more Spirit Crystals for Zi Chen."
"He doesn't seem to care much about these external things," Viper said.
Shoumu smiled and said, "Of course he doesn't care, but his expenses will increase next. Of course, he needs to earn some."
Viper was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
An unfathomable smile appeared on Shoumu's face. "Do you think that the two women from yesterday will work hard to repay the bill?"
Viper suddenly said, "The girl in the golden dress seems to have been in debt. I heard that she already owes a lot. If those two have the same idea, then Zi Chen really needs to earn some Spirit Crystals."
"Smart."
Guardian Tree walked out of the gathering point. Viper watched his straight back as he walked. For a moment, it was as if he could see the two of them in high spirits when they first came out. But as time passed, their fighting spirit gradually faded away. In the end, they lived a muddle-headed life.
And now, the former Shoumu had returned. It seemed that he saw true hope from Zi Chen.
Viper's mood improved a lot because of this. He smiled proudly and said, "Of course I'm smart. In fact, I'm smarter than Zi Chen. I've seen through women long ago. That's why I've never looked for women. Hehe, my awareness is high and I can see further."
Zi Chen went around the secluded forest and headed straight for the Dax Plains. His next goal was to hunt down the Outsiders.
As he passed by a forest, something suddenly shot out and shot straight at Zi Chen. A murderous aura filled the surroundings.
"Roar." When the thing got close, a deafening roar could be heard.
Whoosh.
Zi Chen tapped his foot against the ground and dodged the attack. At the same time, he slapped out with his palm towards the creature's head.
A heavy object fell to the ground. It was a black tiger, and Zi Chen had knocked it unconscious.
Gazing at the unconscious black tiger, Zi Chen's palm formed a five-stroke seal. Rays of light shot out from the seal, enveloping the black tiger.
In the next moment, the black tiger's enormous body visibly shriveled up. Rays of energy were absorbed by the divine seal through the light.
After the black tiger's body completely shriveled up, its body exploded into nothingness.
All of the black tiger's energy entered Zi Chen's body and was absorbed by his body.
This was Zi Chen's first step. First, he had to let his perfect body recover.
The Devouring Divine Seal was a product of the Laws, so it was more thorough in refining things. Each time, there wasn't much pure energy left.
The energy of a single black tiger wasn't enough to awaken Zi Chen's perfect body. It only strengthened Zi Chen's body slightly.
Because they hadn't been attacked by humans for almost a year, the alien races in the Dax Plains became active again. Like humans, they were hunting exotic beasts.
Zi Chen soon encountered a Dax alien. Moreover, it was a mid-seventh-stage Divine Emperor.
When the latter saw Zi Chen, his pupils shrank slightly.
The two instantly clashed, killing each other with a single blow.
The divine seal once again appeared on the alien's palm. The energy in the dead alien's body began to rapidly drain away. Even his heart, which stored his energy, began to wither. When all of his energy was gone, his body exploded into nothingness.
After absorbing and refining this energy, specks of golden light finally appeared in Zi Chen's dark red blood.
This was the beginning of his perfect body. Seeing these specks of golden light, Zi Chen was pleasantly surprised.
What followed next was endless slaughter.
Of course, during this slaughter, Zi Chen still took the time to have the Cauldron Spirit condense some armor-piercing weapons.
A hunting squad appeared in his line of sight. The leader was a late-stage seventh-stage alien. Without saying a word, Zi Chen raised his blade and charged forward.
When the aliens saw the humans, they all roared and charged at Zi Chen.
As the saber light flashed, one foreign being after another fell, until the last foreign being was dead.
There were a total of nine aliens, and Zi Chen struck a total of nine times.
After extracting all of their energy, Zi Chen once again used his perfect body to condense this energy.
This was his first month in the Dax Plains. At this moment, more than half of Zi Chen's blood had turned gold. Although it was light gold, he wasn't far from fully awakening his perfect body.
After a month, it was time for Old Man Schenker to come again. At the same time, it was time for the second batch of two hundred humans to arrive.
Zi Chen didn't return, so Shouki replaced Zi Chen.
After announcing this to the waiting crowd, everyone looked at Shouki strangely, especially the more than fifty people who knew of Shouki's existence.
They couldn't understand why Zi Chen trusted this guy so much. They had only known him for two months, but he was already putting him in an important position.
"You can represent Zi Chen," said a clear voice.
Shouki looked at the woman who spoke and nodded.
"Alright, I need two storage pouches," said the woman directly.
Beside her, Dong Qing tugged at the corner of Shang Guan Hong's clothes and whispered, "One is enough. We can use both of them."
Shang Guan Hong said, "How can one be enough? I want two. Also, I need some special defensive equipment. Seven to eight pairs of boots, with different colors. Defensive earrings …"
Shang Guan Hong listed out the items she needed. Everyone looked at each other, because this was an unimaginable number of spirit crystals.
Viper, on the other hand, was hiding in a corner, secretly proud of his own cleverness.
Shang Guan Hong finally finished reporting what she wanted, and then looked at Shouki.
In the face of such a huge number, the latter didn't feel any pressure. He just nodded and said, "Okay, no problem, I'll send them to you next month."
Shang Guan Hong snorted proudly, like a victorious little hen, holding her head high.
Others, such as Fortune Teller and the others, hid at the side and laughed secretly.
Sure enough, where there are people, there will be jianghu, and where there are women, there will be war, even if the war is invisible.
Next, Shouki made a deal with Old Man Schenker, and at the same time, reported all the things he needed to the other party. Hearing these miscellaneous things, Old Man Schenker was stunned for a long time.
Soon, the second month passed, and the blood in Zi Chen's body finally turned completely golden.
The perfect body was stimulated at this point.
"Hum."
The blood flowed in his body, and golden light flowed along the blood to all parts of his body. The golden blood surged with a thunderous sound.
