Free Web NovelChapter 676: Chapter 41: The Spirit Treasure Returns to Its Master, Advancement to Tier Four Alchemy Master!
"Feng Chong pays respect to Master!" a steady voice rang out,
as a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a yellow robe and with a determined expression, walked towards Zhou Xun,
on his head were two tiger-like ears, otherwise, he was no different from a normal person.
"Thank you, Master, for your cultivation, otherwise Feng Chong would not have his achievements today!"
Feng Chong approached Zhou Xun and bowed deeply!
To him, managing to advance to Tier Three High Grade was already a lifelong wish fulfilled, and now, having become a Tier Four Demon Emperor,
how could he not be filled with gratitude towards Zhou Xun.
"Hahaha, you have been in my service for many years, there is no need for such courtesy!" Zhou Xun looked at the middle-aged man in satisfaction, waved his hand, and said.
"Feng Chong, congratulations on successfully advancing to Tier Four!" The Spirit Turtle Red Noon looked somewhat complexly at the middle-aged man,
originally, he did not consider the Earth Element Beast as a rival,
among Tier Three Peak Demon Beasts, only a few could eventually advance,
unexpectantly, he not only successfully advanced but also awakened an Undying Body, his power suddenly surpassing his own.
"The Lord won’t still be thinking of killing me for my core, right!"
The Spirit Turtle Red Noon knew his master had coveted the inner core on its body more than once.
"I must find an opportunity to offer one or two more treasures!"
"Daoist Red Noon is joking, earlier when the Master was away, thank you for taking my place for many years, really it’s been taxing, when I get a chance I’ll have to invite you for a drink to express my gratitude!"
The Spirit Turtle Red Noon’s gaze shifted, glancing at the middle-aged man beside him, he felt a surge of frustration in his heart:
’Indeed, as soon as he breaks through he comes to steal my position!’
So he waved his hand and said:
"Daoist Feng is joking, carrying the Master during outings is our fortunate duty, how can it be considered tiring, I am naturally happy to do so,"
"If Daoist Feng feels it’s tiring, just focus on your cultivation in the future, with your talent, you have quite some potential growth ahead,"
"As for me, my potential is exhausted, cultivating is in vain, which just perfectly allows me to fully devote myself to serving the Lord!"
Feng Chong was momentarily at a loss upon hearing this, feeling agitated and stifled; when it came to eloquence, he was indeed a few levels below this old turtle!
Immediately bowing to Zhou Xun:
"Subordinate did not mean it that way!"
Zhou Xun found it amusing, never expecting his two Spirit Beasts under him to engage in such methods resembling palace intrigues.
In his heart, Zhou Xun was more accustomed to riding the Earth Element Beast during outings, after all, it had accompanied him for many years, and Zhou Xun had become used to it, its speed was also exceedingly fast,
whereas although the Spirit Turtle Red Noon had joined recently, he was adaptable and personable, with admirable speaking skills,
in terms of ability, his Fire Escape Technique was also exceptional, making it really a tough decision.
"Alright, both of you are my trusted generals, you should get along harmoniously!"
Zhou Xun eventually decided not to interfere with the open and covert battles between the two demons, after all, with him around, they wouldn’t go too far, and could be confined within a certain range.
As Zhou Xun finished speaking, both Feng Chong and the Spirit Turtle Red Noon responded respectfully. Yet, in their hearts, each had their own plans.
Feng Chong pondered silently: "This old turtle is adept at clever words and pleasing appearances, I definitely can’t let him maintain an upper hand; though the Master cherishes old feelings, I too need to put forth more effort to secure my position in the Master’s heart."
Thinking to this point, Feng Chong’s eyes grew increasingly determined, and he already had a plan for his next step in mind; as long as his power steadily advanced, this old turtle would eventually fall behind him.
The Spirit Turtle Red Noon likewise was contemplating: "This clumsy beast’s power has greatly increased, not to be underestimated. I must handle matters more cautiously, ensuring he doesn’t easily seize my advantage; even though the Master shows no favoritism, I must find ways to make the Master rely on me more."
With this thought, the Spirit Turtle Red Noon displayed a barely perceptible smile.
In the days that followed, while Feng Chong and the Spirit Turtle Red Noon maintained outward harmony, their subtle competition never ceased.
...
In the Sea Suppression Hall,
after meeting with Feng Chong, who had undergone a transformation, Zhou Xun arrived there.
His visit was for two matters,
first, to express gratitude to True Monarch Qianchuan,
earlier, when the Earth Element Beast was challenging the Tier Four Demon Emperor Realm, True Monarch Qianchuan had activated the City Defense Array of the Sea Suppression New City,
gathering the Spiritual Qi of the entire Immortal City into his Cave Mansion,
it can be said that the Earth Element Beast’s successful breakthrough also had some credit to True Monarch Qianchuan,
both sentimentally and logically, a visit was due.
The second matter was to redeem the High-Grade Magical Treasure "Spirit Locking Ring" that he had previously pawned here.
This item is a treasure recorded in the Spirit Control Scripture, light as a feather, heavy as Mount Tai,
with one strike, as if ten thousand mountains surge, even a Tier Four Demon Beast would find it hard to withstand a strike from it!
More importantly, this treasure also has the effect of trapping foes, producing exceptional effects on Demon Beasts, making it one of the most top-tier High-Grade Magical Treasures!
He still remembered the day he faced this treasure, the immense pressure it exuded made him involuntarily feel suffocated.
Of course, what Zhou Xun valued most was this treasure’s ability to trap enemies!
He lacked not for attacking treasures in hand,
whether it be the Jun Mang Thunder Spear or the Profound Thunder Sword, both were superb killing instruments!
Only for trapping treasures, there was just this one,
naturally, he couldn’t let it remain outside for too long,
just in time for this profitable journey to the Thunder Prison, combined with the previously remaining Top-Grade Spirit Stone, redeeming this treasure should not be difficult.
Zhou Xun hadn’t waited long before seeing True Monarch Qianchuan personally coming to greet him, and upon seeing Zhou Xun, greeted him warmly:
"Congratulations, younger brother, on obtaining a Tier Four Spirit Beast, I’m envious of you!"
"Daoist Brother, you’ve jested, this junior is here precisely to thank Daoist Brother. Without Daoist Brother marshaling the entire city’s Spiritual Qi, I’m afraid my Spirit Beast couldn’t have survived those nine Thunder Tribulations,"
