Loyal Heart Roaming the Skies

The next morning, Jiang Wang, who had already finished his morning class, was manipulating his Dao Yuan while carefully washing the Tian Di Gate, making it appear more clear and preparing for the next promotion.

Cultivation is a cumulative effort that cannot be slackened.

Now, his Nine Star River Dao is constantly rotating, and the entangled Star Spirit Snake is extremely powerful, so he doesn't have to worry about the reserve of Dao Yuan.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Before Jiang Wang finished speaking, while he was still sitting on the bed, the fat figure of Chong Xuan Sheng had already rolled in front of him.

With a smile on his face, Chong Xuan Sheng magically produced three jade slips from his hand: "The wood-based offensive Dao techniques you wanted. They are all high-grade Grade B, the limit of the Tong Tian Realm. The best of the best!"

Since Jiang Wang had decided to become Chong Xuan Sheng's follower, he naturally wouldn't be polite to him. Last night, he had already mentioned that he wanted a high-grade Grade B wood-based Dao technique to be used for the imprinting in the Tong Tian Palace.

This was the disadvantage of being alone.

If it were other disciples from prestigious sects, they would have already chosen the Dao technique for imprinting before advancing. Unlike him, even though he had been in the Tong Tian Realm for so long, the position for the second instant-cast Dao technique was still vacant. He couldn't improve his combat power in time and could only rely on a flame flower to cope.

However, after becoming Chong Xuan Sheng's follower, it had only been half a night. Chong Xuan Sheng had already obtained the required Dao techniques, and he even got three of them at once.

Although this fat guy was full of expectation for praise, he casually said, "My Chong Xuan family doesn't have a deep understanding of wood-based Dao techniques. Among the high-grade Grade B ones, there are only two that I think are not bad, and the other one is obtained from another friend. You can pick and see first. If you're not satisfied, I'll go find another one."

While Jiang Wang took the jade slips and examined them, he casually said, "Your friend is quite powerful."

Chong Xuan Sheng didn't care whether Jiang Wang had enough space to sit. He squeezed himself next to him and said meaningfully, "It was only after I came out of the Tian Fu Secret Realm that I realized I had so many friends."

This was to appease Jiang Wang and tell him that they were good friends who had gone through hardships together.

Jiang Wang didn't care much about these things. His attention had already been drawn to the three jade slips.

It wasn't that he was dissatisfied, but that he was too satisfied!

Satisfied to the point where he didn't know how to choose for a moment.

The Dao techniques recorded on the three jade slips were Flower Sea, Thorn Crown, and Tiger Binding.

Flower Sea leaned towards toxicity and had hallucinatory effects, making it very suitable for group battles. If he could imprint Flower Sea, it would be equivalent to constantly laying out a battlefield that was advantageous to himself. It could be said that with just this technique, he would not fear being surrounded.

Thorn Crown seemed like a defensive Dao technique, but it was actually an enhancement technique. Its effect was to stimulate potential, and after using this technique, the power of the user's next Dao technique would increase by 20 to 30 percent!

Don't underestimate this increase. For a high-grade Grade B Dao technique, it could directly elevate its power to almost that of a Grade A Dao technique.

As for a Grade C Dao technique like Flame Flower, it could even be directly elevated to the power of a high-grade Grade B Dao technique.

Tiger Binding was a control-type Dao technique.

There were five elements in the world, and the human body had five energies. Wood-based elemental energy not only filled the heavens and the earth, but also existed within the human body. The principle of the Tiger Binding Dao technique was to draw out the wood energy from the opponent's body and use it to bind the opponent.

Of course, the specific effect would vary depending on the degree of control over the opponent's body.

For example, when targeting Jiang Wang before he mastered the Four Spirit Refining Body Art and after he mastered it, the effects would be completely different.

But regardless, as a control-type Dao technique that left almost no room for evasion, the excellence of Tiger Binding was beyond doubt.

The three Dao techniques that Chong Xuan Sheng brought out were all top-quality. Among the high-grade Grade B Dao techniques, they could rival the Flame Flower, which was a Grade C Dao technique.

The so-called top-quality referred to Dao techniques whose value had exceeded the scope of their grade, and they were extremely rare. Many cultivators would never have the chance to see them in their lifetime.

This was more precious than higher-grade Dao techniques because it was a combat power that could be formed at the current realm.

It was probably difficult for the Qinghe County Dao Academy to produce such precious Dao techniques, let alone three at once.

Wasn't this saying that he didn't have a deep understanding of wood-based Dao techniques?

This was blatant flaunting of wealth and status!

Jiang Wang felt like he wanted to burst Chong Xuan Sheng's fat body, but then he thought that these Dao techniques were brought out for him to choose. He couldn't help but feel refreshed.

After careful consideration, Jiang Wang accepted the jade slip that recorded Tiger Binding.

For him, this was the Dao technique that best suited his current combat system. It could perfectly complement his attacking methods and maximize his combat power.

With a smile, Chong Xuan Sheng put the remaining two jade slips back: "Remember to return the jade slips to me after you learn them. These are all original copies, not replicas."

These three Dao techniques were all given to Jiang Wang!

Whether it was for friendship or emotional investment as a follower, Chong Xuan Sheng's generosity was undeniable.

These were top-quality high-grade Grade B Dao techniques, not ordinary goods. Their value even surpassed that of general Grade A Dao techniques.

And he gave all three of them at once.

Jiang Wang didn't say much and directly accepted the three jade slips.

His words were his promise. As long as it was his promise, he would do his best to fulfill it.

Setting aside the friendship aspect, from an investment perspective, no matter what Chong Xuan Sheng invested in him, he would definitely show his value and give Chong Xuan Sheng enough returns.

"By the way, I have a gift for you." After Jiang Wang put away the jade slips, Chong Xuan Sheng beckoned outside.

Fourteen walked in from outside, holding a jade box in his hands.

Since they had seen it many times before, Jiang Wang smiled and greeted him.Unexpectedly, Fourteen also nodded at him.

He had thought that this armored man would not respond to anyone other than Zhong Xuan Sheng. It seemed that Fourteen also recognized his importance to Zhong Xuan Sheng.

"What is this?" Jiang Wang asked.

Zhong Xuan Sheng stuffed the jade box into Jiang Wang's hand, his squinted eyes barely visible: "Open it and see."

Jiang Wang silently moved to the side, creating some distance, before opening the jade box.

What came into his view was a fruit, green and dripping with vitality.

It was shaped like an apricot, with green patterns on it.

Just by looking at it, he felt refreshed and full of life. The fragrance was even more pleasing, filling the room with a pleasant aroma.

"Snap!"

Zhong Xuan Sheng closed the jade box and explained: "This fruit is fully ripe, either take it immediately, or the medicinal properties will dissipate."

Jiang Wang was moved, looking at Zhong Xuan Sheng, he didn't speak for a moment.

"Don't look at me so gratefully. Hahaha." Zhong Xuan Sheng laughed awkwardly and said: "I had someone get this longevity fruit a long time ago, but I didn't tell you in advance because I wasn't sure if I could get it."

"Eat it, it should be no problem to extend your life by ten years."

At this, Jiang Wang was truly moved.

The reason he worked so hard, never relaxing, never sparing a moment to rest, was because:

Time was what he lacked the most.

He knew his lifespan was diminishing.

However, anything that could replenish lifespan was extremely precious.

He had previously obtained a Year Nourishing Pill in Youguo, which extended his life by one year, but the effect was just a drop in the bucket. If it weren't for Yin Guan, he might not have been able to take that Year Nourishing Pill away.

This longevity fruit could extend life tenfold, but its value was far more than tenfold.

Such a rare item couldn't possibly have been obtained by Zhong Xuan Sheng overnight, it must have taken time to acquire.

That is to say, it's very likely that Zhong Xuan Sheng noticed his diminishing lifespan the moment he saw him, and immediately mobilized his connections to find a life-extending treasure.

This kind of preparation, before they entered the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm, even before he agreed to help Zhong Xuan Sheng compete for the position of family head.

This intention was more valuable than the longevity fruit itself.

"Brother Zhong Xuan, this..." Jiang Wang was at a loss for words.

Zhong Xuan Sheng stopped him: "Don't say anything. You're worth it."

The chubby man looked at him, repeating firmly: "You, Jiang Wang, are absolutely worth it."

He was about to use his eloquence to deepen their bond.

Suddenly, he felt something and turned his head sharply.

"Who's there?"
