Chapter 1718
These eighteen Chaos Crystals each exuded a solid, inky chaotic aura. The value of any one of them was comparable to the total gains that Lin Yuqiong and her brother had made during their ten years of adventures in the Divine Nest.
"This...this is..." Lin Yuqiong suddenly jumped up from her seat, staring intently at the crystal floating in Chen Xuan's palm. Her mind raced through ancient records, her voice trembling, "Could this be the legendary Chaos Crystal?"
Chen Xuan nodded with a smile: "As expected of a descendant of Qilin City, you can tell the difference between the real and the fake at a glance. That's right, it is indeed a Chaos Crystal."
"What?!" Lin Yuqiong's eyes instantly blazed with intense desire, her breathing quickening. "Legend has it that nine Chaos Crystals can perfectly condense a nascent form of Chaos Immortal Qi! And Chaos Divine Matter inherently possesses the power to contain all things, meaning that once a nascent form is condensed, it can be directly refined and mastered without worrying about an unstable foundation!"
“That’s right.” Chen Xuan’s smile deepened. With a slight movement of his fingertips, the eighteen crystals slowly rotated in the air, bringing with them gusts of chaotic air currents, which seemed to distort the light in the tavern.
He saw that when Lin Yuqiong looked at the eighteen crystals, her eyes were so bright they were almost shining, clearly showing her extreme desire for this opportunity.
But what good is desire? Not to mention that the two are now friends, even if he were to harbor greed, he would have absolutely no strength to snatch it.
However, since Chen Xuan was willing to take out such treasures, he must have some ulterior motive.
Lin Yuqiong quickly calmed down, looked at Chen Xuan, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "Brother Chen Xuan, you might as well speak frankly. Given our friendship, there's no need to beat around the bush."
Chen Xuan's request was already quite substantial. Upon hearing this, he smiled and took out a translucent white jade bottle from his storage space.
He then pushed the jade bottle and nine Chaos Crystals toward Lin Yuqiong with a casual gesture, as if he were handing over ordinary objects.
Lin Yuqiong's pupils contracted sharply, and he instinctively wanted to refuse—he knew that Qilin City was gradually weakening, and that ten years later, facing challenges from various holy cities and quasi-holy cities, he and his sister had little chance of winning.
However, these two treasures, with just nine Chaos Crystals, are enough to allow the brother and sister to easily grasp a wisp of Chaos Immortal Qi, and their strength will advance by leaps and bounds in a short period of time.
Not to mention what kind of divine object might be hidden inside that jade bottle.
"This... could it be Brother Chen Xuan's betrothal gift to my little sister?" Lin Yuqiong asked Chen Xuan, this thought flashing through her mind.
He and his younger sister had relied on each other since childhood. He always thought his sister's appearance was nothing special, but he didn't know how many male cultivators admired Lin Yuyao so much that suitors could line up from Qilin City to the outer starry sky.
As for Chen Xuan, this kid, he seems indifferent to women, but he actually keeps five stunningly beautiful Daoist partners in his personal immortal abode. Who knows, he might actually have feelings for my sister...
Chen Xuan had been waiting for his response with a slight smile, but he hadn't expected the usually serious Lin Yuqiong to say such a thing. He was immediately choked by the poisoned wine in his mouth and coughed repeatedly.
"Cough cough cough—" He hurriedly waved his hand, his cheeks flushed slightly from coughing, "Take a look at what's in the jade bottle first!"
Lin Yuqiong didn't hesitate and immediately released his divine sense to probe into the jade bottle. When that pure and powerful true spiritual energy, carrying the roar of a dragon, surged into his sea of consciousness, even with his calm and composed nature, he couldn't help but gasp: "True Dragon Elixir? Brother Chen Xuan, this betrothal gift... is far too heavy!"
“Uh…” Chen Xuan was speechless. He waved his hand and said, “Dowry? Do you think I, Chen Xuan, am so stingy? Just some divine matter is not worthy of the word ‘dowry’.”
Chen Xuan suppressed his smile and said seriously, "This jade bottle does indeed contain True Dragon Elixir. Although it is not as domineering as the true source of a true dragon, it is still enough to help people cleanse their marrow and meridians and condense a true dragon aura. These two treasures are not very valuable to me, but for Qilin City at present, they may be a life-saving medicine."
Chen Xuan looked at Lin Yuqiong, a hint of expectation flashing in his eyes: "If your younger sister has enough ambition and talent, she can first use the Dragon Transformation Elixir to condense the third strand of immortal energy. If she can successfully refine it, she can then use the Chaos Crystal to break through the barrier, and she might be able to cultivate the fourth strand of chaotic immortal energy..."
