Chapter 641: Chapter 367: Transfer Out
Ancestor Lu had met with Li Yuanba alone before departing.
When Qi Jin and Jiang Pu heard Ancestor Lu’s request, the envy in their eyes nearly burst forth.
A Nascent Soul Ancestor who had lived for hundreds of years wouldn’t have few disciples; disciples beget more disciples, thus the cultivators with a Nascent Soul Ancestor as a master weren’t rare within the sect.
But in the eyes of a Nascent Soul Ancestor, it was highly likely that they didn’t pay much attention to these juniors.
However, Ancestor Lu had met alone with Li Yuanba more than once; this had surpassed general concern.
In the Senluo Sect, with such a backing, unless Li Yuanba held some must-compete-for benefit, there were few cultivators who would offend him.
“Yuan Ba, I see your cultivation has improved quite rapidly, it seems you are not lacking in resources?” Ancestor Lu casually asked Li Yuanba.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanba was taken aback; he did not understand the intention behind Ancestor Lu’s words.
Could it be that Ancestor Lu was interested in his rewards? That shouldn’t be the case, as the rewards given to Golden Core disciples, no matter how good, should not catch Ancestor Lu’s eye.
“I must thank Ancestor for your help, the mission assigned by the sect was excellent!” Li Yuanba bowed in response.
“This time the sect managed to obtain a fourth-grade resource site, and your contributions were significant. This merit is substantial, but my advice is for you to save this merit, as accumulated merits will increase your chances of exchanging them for Nascent Soul resources when you reach the late stage of Golden Core!” Ancestor Lu said with a smile.
He could say such things because he truly saw potential in Li Yuanba.
Li Yuanba had formed his Golden Core under his watchful eye, and had steadily stabilized it during the Golden Core Stage in a short period of time, and in the realm of Body Refinement, his combat power was comparable to that of the late stages of Golden Core.
He was proud of having Elder Jian in the aspect of disciples, and for the generation of Grand-disciples, he also hoped that Li Yuanba could become a source of pride for him.
Then, when he met with other Nascent Soul Ancestors, he could also flaunt Elder Jian and Li Yuanba to strike at those old friends.
“I will follow Ancestor’s advice!” Li Yuanba agreed readily, as he indeed had ample resources.
Though resources for forming a Nascent Soul seemed far off, he still had to prepare early.
Although he had not heard of any competition over Nascent Soul resources in the Senluo Sect, within the Shushan Sect where his original body resided, Golden Core Elders who met the qualifications were nearly joining the competition for Nascent Soul resources through factional opposition.
Li Yuanba was not lacking in cultivation resources, yet even his original body, Li Shiming, couldn’t obtain Nascent Soul resources, which were on another level, beyond the reach of Golden Core cultivators.
“Although the sect converted your reward into merit accumulation, you have brought me a great deal of benefit this time; I must still give you a personal reward!” Ancestor Lu said with a laugh.
A piece the size of a fingernail, brimming with corpse energy, appeared in his hand.
As soon as the piece was taken out, the space around him seemed to grow colder.
“This is a core fragment of a Golden Corpse, a spoils of battle from a fight, it’s of no use to me, so I’m giving it to you!” he tossed the fragment to Li Yuanba.
He remembered that Li Yuanba had a Corpse Refinement.
A core fragment of a Golden Corpse, even a tiny piece, was considered a fourth-grade spiritual item.
Its value was extremely high, far beyond any third-grade spiritual item.
He had thought carefully before taking out such a reward, knowing somehow that Li Yuanba had secrets, his fast progression in cultivation indicating he was not lacking in cultivation resources, and the terrifying level of resources needed for his Body Refinement deepened this implication.
All these indicated that Li Yuanba was extremely wealthy; as his ancestor, if he were to offer an ordinary third-grade spiritual item, Li Yuanba might regard him as stingy in his heart.
After much deliberation, Ancestor Lu finally decided on the core fragment of the Golden Corpse, a piece he had nearly forgotten.
“Thank you for the gift, Ancestor!” Li Yuanba said, his eyes showing a flash of delight.
His capability in Corpse Refinement had reached the level of a Silver Corpse, and although he had invested numerous third-grade Corpse Refinement resources, Jiang Chen’s strength was improving at a slow pace.
Jiang Chen was his Life-bound Corpse Refinement, unlike his original body, Li Shiming, who would refine many corpses, Jiang Chen was his only Corpse Refinement, and it would also be one of his main forces.
Jiang Chen matched him well as a special Corpse Refinement, containing Sword Intent within, and with its strength improvement, the Sword Intent would also strengthen. Being able to swiftly enhance Jiang Chen’s power was extremely beneficial to him.
“That will be all!” Ancestor Lu nodded, then vanished on the spot.
“Farewell, Ancestor!” Li Yuanba bowed.
After seeing off Ancestor Lu, the matter of the Muyang Bee swarm had nothing to do with him anymore, and further issues would be handled by Ancestor Lu.
Even a third-grade Muyang Bee King, no matter how formidable, counted as nothing in front of Ancestor Lu.
Li Yuanba’s attention was drawn to the fragment in his hand; anything Ancestor Lu had kept would not be trivial.
He took out a jade box for sealing spiritual objects, carefully placing the Golden Corpse core fragment inside.
He felt that using such a treasure now would be a waste.
He needed to check some literature, understand the core of the Golden Corpse, and then make a decision after a comprehensive analysis of Jiang Chen’s condition.
With matters concluded here, Qi Jin, who was injured, did not stay for long with Li Yuanba and Jiang Pu.
At the time of parting, Qi Jin handed a storage bag to Li Yuanba.
On the way back, Jiang Pu’s attitude towards Li Yuanba grew even closer. Previously, their connection was based on mutual benefits, but now, it included reverence for Li Yuanba’s identity.
