âMy godâ¦â
âSifu⦠Youâre⦠phenomenalâ¦unsurpassableâ¦â
âItâs no doubt my biggest blessing to be a Bei Xuan discipleâ¦â
The people of Bei Xuan hooted. The atmosphere was jubilant.
From now onwards, each of them would work doubly hard towards God-Ascension cultivation so that they too, could receive the reward of a lifetime from their sifu â an Earth-God Instrument!
No other faction lavished their disciples in such a way! Bei Xuan was the first and only one to do this!
âBro Bei⦠What about me?â The Northern Wilderness Overlord asked hopefully.
Chen Xiaobei eyeballed the man and said, âYou are not one of us. Also, you have to stay and take care of Northern Wilderness Starfield for me. You donât need an Earth-God Instrument in a low-ranking starfield!â
âOh⦠Okayâ¦â The overlord looked very disappointed as he retreated to one side, shooting envious glances at Xiangyu, Six-Eared Macaque and Liu Xuanxin.
As a close friend of Chen Xiaobei, Xiangyu was not one to show reservation. He selected a Two-star Earth-God Instrument. âI want this saber! Itâs really powerful!â
That was the very saber Chen Xiaobei took off the Tenshou emperor.
Six-Eared Macaque picked a Two-star Earth-God Instrument. âI want this longsword! Itâs agile â very suitable for me!â
This sword too, belonged to the Tenshou emperor. It was no less powerful than the one Xiangyu picked.
âLucky Goddess, itâs your turn to choose. Pick one!â Chen Xiaobei smiled.
Liu Xuanxinâs creased her brows. âThese gifts are all too valuable⦠I canât take them⦠Keep themâ¦â
âSilly girl!â Chen Xiaobei chuckled. âYour phone call saved everyone here! You deserve to have one of these valuable gifts!â
âYeah! Miss Liu, just choose one! Or weâll feel bad for having taken one!â Six-Eared Macaque and Xiangyu urged.
âThatâs true! Miss Liu, donât refuse sifuâs sincerity towards you!â The disciples of Bei Xuan exhorted.
Liu Xuanxin began to panic. It was a good thing she had the mask on.
âXuanxin!â Chen Xiaobei said. âYouâre already one of us! You belong to Bei Xuan and you are already at God-Ascension cultivation! What if something like today happens again? Donât you think youâll be able to protect more people with an Earth-God Instrument?â
âMm⦠Youâre rightâ¦â Liu Xuanxin finally conceded.
The truth was, Liu Xuanxin had a very special affinity with Bei Xuan faction.
She was there when Bei Xuan faction was first founded.
Furthermore, the factionâs name had the word âBeiâ and âXuanâ in it.
If she needed to become stronger so that she could protect Bei Xuan faction, Liu Xuanxin was more than happy to oblige.
âChoose one then!â Chen Xiaobei encouraged.
âWasnât there a ring?â Liu Xuanxin asked.
Chen Xiaobei had taken out fifteen Earth-God Instruments earlier on, and only twelve were on display now.
He could not give the Chaos Blood Sword and the Blood Godâs Deity-Killing painting away, of course.
The other Earth-God Instruments that he kept away was the Frozen Heart Spiritual Ring that he had embellished.
Chen Xiaobei stammered, âErm⦠That ring⦠has an owner already!â
Liu Xuanxin saw right through him. âHmph! You womanizer! I bet youâre going to use that ring to woo women!â
âErâ¦â Chen Xiaobei was at a loss.
âHmph! I knew it!â Liu Xuanxin said sourly. âI was going to be sparing and choose the smallest one! But I guess thereâs no need for that anymore! I will choose a Two-star Earth-God Instrument! This machete!â
âNo problem! Itâs yours!â Chen Xiaobei handed the purple machete to her.
After that, Chen Xiaobei relinquished his connection with the three Earth-God Instruments so that they could acknowledge their new owners.
â¦
Chen Xiaobei had one Three-star Earth-God Instrument, three Two-star Earth-God Instruments and twelve One-star Earth-God Instruments left in his possession.
The Dragonâs Edge, Chaos Blood Sword, Blood Godâs Deity-Killing painting and the Frozen Heart Spiritual Ring were not to be given away.
Chen Xiaobei had decided to refine the remaining two Two-star Earth-God Instruments and eleven One-star Earth-God Instruments into Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura.
Having experienced the power of the Dragonâs Edge, Chen Xiaobei finally understood the importance of Earth-God level instruments!
Compared to his Dragonâs Edge, all the other lower-grade Earth-God Instruments were nothing to him!
Even if all of them were added together, they would never be able to compare to the Dragonâs Edge!
So, why not turn them into Spiritual Aura to upgrade even bigger Earth-God Instruments?
Even if there was Heaven and Earth Spiritual Aura, it would still not be enough to upgrade Dragonâs Edge but the Chaos Blood Sword and Blood Godâs Deity-Killing painting had the potential to become divine relics â they were worth investing in!
Come to think of it, he could even upgrade the Somersault Cloud.
As a flying Spiritual Item, its Special Ability to fly was irreplaceable.
If he could transform the cloud into an Earth-God Instrument and he would be able to travel at Earth-God speed, faster than any high-ranking starfieldâs spacecraft!
When he had finished with the upgrades, he could even use the remaining Spiritual Aura to upgrade his strength!
As soon as that thought crossed his mind, Chen Xiaobei brought out the Heaven and Earth Cauldron and began the refining process.
After the necessary arrangements had been made, Chen Xiaobei gathered everyone still in the secret space.
Everyone from Bei Xuan faction was going to attend Silver Plume cityâs party that night.
The dinner was abuzz with excitement and happy chatter. It was as lively as a New Yearâs celebration.
Chen Xiaobei, Ning Yuchen, and the others chatted over wine as Chen Xiaobei invited his Silver Plume friends to join Bei Xuan faction in Apocalypse Starfield.
Ning Yuchen, Liu Chen, Hu Ben, Wenren Muyue, and Miao Yiyue accepted and joined Bei Xuan on the spot.
Although it might have been a little awkward to call Chen Xiaobei âsifuâ, they found it hard to turn down such a great opportunity. Their future was more promising than ever now that they were a part of this phenomenal faction!
The ceremony lasted late into the night.
Chen Xiaobei had not forgotten about important matters though â he made plans with Qin Yitian, where all of them would head to Vermillion Phoenix tomorrow!
