"Hehe! Of course itâs true! Once we leave here, Iâll give you three Treasure Artifacts!"
From this battle, Li Yunjing had seized as many as a dozen Treasure Artifacts, and with his wealth, he boldly declared his intention of gifting Zhao Qi with Treasure Artifacts.
"Forget it! Theyâre too valuable! I donât want them!"
Unexpectedly, Zhao Qi shook her head, choosing not to partake in the spoils of war.
This battle was entirely accomplished by Li Yunjingâs power alone.
She hadnât contributed at all and was even a burden, requiring Li Yunjingâs protection.
According to the regulations of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, Zhao Qi couldnât partake in distributing the treasure under any circumstance!
This would not be in accordance with the rules!
Not even between Dao companions!
In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, distribution is based on oneâs own strength, not on this nanny-like protection!
Zhao Qiâs pride wouldnât allow her to accept such valuable gifts!
Seeing Zhao Qiâs determined expression, Li Yunjing felt stirred in his heart, pondered, and said, "Then Iâll give you one Treasure Artifact for protection! Besides, Iâll provide you with some resources to help you break through to the Golden Core Realm soon! Once you become a Golden Core Cultivator, you can assist me too!"
Originally, Zhao Qi was about to refuse Li Yunjingâs earlier words, but his last sentence made her swallow back her words.
The Dao companion she found is too powerful!
If she cannot break through to the Golden Core Realm, she would always remain an extension of Li Yunjing, unable to offer any help, and Zhao Qiâs pride wouldnât allow such a situation!
So, she decided to accept Li Yunjingâs gift, and after she advances to the Golden Core Realm, she would find more opportunities to repay Li Yunjing!
Seeing Zhao Qi no longer object, Li Yunjing felt relieved.
Of course, his woman deserved special treatment!
Li Yunjing had the capability to take care of these women.
"Letâs go! I came this time for the mission assigned by the Sectâs ancestral patriarch, and the Tier Four treasure is exactly the item named by the patriarch!"
Li Yunjing briefly explained to Zhao Qi before heading towards the center of the stone chamber.
"So thatâs how it is!"
Zhao Qi realized why Li Yunjing went to such lengths.
Sect missions are extremely crucial, and as a disciple, one must strive relentlessly!
With Li Yunjingâs powerful legacy, the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" patriarch he mentioned must be a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator, right?
In Zhao Qiâs eyes, the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" seemed very powerful, assumed to be founded by an ordinary Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator.
She was completely unaware of the strength of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", comparable to the great Profound Sect like the "Celestial Net Dao Sect".
The number of Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators was indeed not scarce.
It might even far exceed Zhao Qiâs and even Li Yunjingâs imagination.
"Hehe! Once weâve taken this item, we can gather the resources that belong to us!"
Li Yunjing chuckled, explaining, so Zhao Qi wouldnât misunderstand that he intended to take everything for himself without sharing.
Even Li Yunjing wouldnât dare keep a single piece of "Red Flame Crystal"!
Soon, Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi reached the center of the stone chamber, their eyes falling upon the glowing "Red Flame Crystal".
The crystal stone was entirely crimson, its surface flowing with flame-like brilliance, seemingly containing endless Fire Attribute Spiritual Power.
Even from a distance, Li Yunjing could feel the scorching aura.
The surrounding air seemed to catch fire.
"Indeed, itâs a Tier Four Treasure, âRed Flame Crystalâ truly lives up to its name."
Li Yunjing whispered in admiration, a trace of fervency flashing in his eyes.
However, he quickly restrained his emotions, as this was the item named by the Sectâs ancestral patriarch, and he dared not harbor the slightest greed.
Zhao Qi stood beside him, her gaze complexly fixed on the Tier Four Treasure.
Though she was tempted by the "Red Flame Crystal", she understood that given her ability and status, she couldnât possibly claim such an item.
Being able to witness it was a fortune in itself.
As for a greedy heart?
Purely normal!
In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, who truly has no desires?
Even the Buddha of the Buddhist Sect sometimes engages in disputes and conflicts.
The usual lack of desire is merely because they havenât found appealing items yet!
Just like Li Yunjing, anything Tier One does not catch his eye.
No matter if others fight over it, he would not resort to killing and robbing right before his eyes!
Unless those Qi Cultivation Realm Cultivators actively sought death!
Even Tier Two resources werenât worthy of Li Yunjingâs use anymore.
His contention for these resources was mainly to manage his "Star Moon Trading Company".
Only Tier Three resources and treasures could stir his desires to fight fiercely for them.
At this moment, Zhao Qi looked at Li Yunjing and asked softly, "Husband, how are we going to retrieve this âRed Flame Crystalâ? It looks quite dangerous."
"Indeed!"
Li Yunjing nodded and explained, "The âRed Flame Crystalâ contains extremely potent Fire Attribute Spiritual Power, and a single mistake would lead to a backlash. Even for Golden Core Realm Cultivators, if they arenât cautious, they could end up in disaster! However, I came prepared."
Saying this, Li Yunjing took out a crystal-clear Jade Box from his "Storage Ring".
The surface of the Jade Box was etched with intricate runes, clearly designed as a container for high-tier treasures.
Li Yunjing cautiously activated his mana, causing the runes on the Jade Box to light up, emitting a cooling aura that isolated the heat from the "Red Flame Crystal".
"This is the âCold Jade Boxâ, specifically for storing Fire Attribute treasures."
As Li Yunjing explained, he enveloped the "Red Flame Crystal" with mana, gradually guiding it into the Jade Box.
As the "Red Flame Crystal" was placed into the Jade Box, the temperature within the stone chamber dramatically decreased.
