"You can rest assured that even if you don't mention it, I will consider these matters. An unstable foundation means weak combat power. If I were to simply rush you to break through to Intermediate Level 5, I could easily do so with a bit of effort, but what would be the use? I am not sending you to your death in two years.
Since you have agreed, then take these items as an extra reward from me; I am not a petty person." Lange said with an air of arrogance, waving his hand, causing a pile of bottles and jars to appear on the table. With another wave, two Skill Books emerged.
"All of this is mine? It's all mine."
Bu stared wide-eyed, breathing a bit heavily. Then he saw Lange's hand wave again, and with a series of loud thuds, the table was suddenly in disarray as a mountain of Azure Jade appeared.
Happiness, an unprecedented feeling of happiness. Although Bu Zhixiao knew this was his reward and what he deserved, seeing so much translucent Azure Jade made his blood circulation quicken and his head spin.
"It's all mine." Bu exclaimed, and under Lange's mischievous grin, he quickly reached out to grab two pieces of Azure Jade and tossed them into his Storage Bracelet. Eventually, as the amount of Azure Jade grew overwhelming, he simply threw all of it into the Storage Bracelet as if discarding trash.
"Slow down, slow down! Don't rush. This Azure Jade is only fourth-grade; it's just enough for you to cultivate for half a year. I have even better Seven-Rank Azure Jade here."
Lange appeared quite wealthy as he waved his hand again, producing another pile of Azure Jade. Each piece was only about the size of half a palm but presented a milky white color, as if gathering clouds within them. The energy was extremely pure, and upon their appearance, the Earth Power in the entire room fluctuated violently, causing the energy in the air to increase dramatically.
"Seven-Rank Azure Jade?" Bu was stunned, his eyes wide open.
Azure Jade has nine ranks; first rank is the lowest and ninth rank is the best. Previously, the best Azure Jade Bu had seen was the Azure Jade Token awarded after Peak Showdown, made entirely from Fifth-Grade Azure Jade and worth a fortune. But now, compared to this pile of at least thirty or forty pieces of Seven-Rank Azure Jade, that Azure Jade Token seemed insignificant.
"This egg! This egg!" Bu exclaimed excitedly as he swiftly stored all the Azure Jade away, his face flushed with excitement like a city dweller who had just won a lottery prize and couldn't find his bearings.
Lange stroked his beard with a smile. For the first time in many years, he felt the thrill of having money; throwing money around made even ghosts want to grind for him. Not to mention Bu, who was notoriously difficult; he would have no choice but to comply. Thinking about this made Lange feel somewhat wicked; he quickly cleared his throat and adjusted his mindset.
"The Azure Jade is secondary; it's merely an item to assist you in cultivating your internal energy. Among these items I'm giving you, these pills are the most precious. Take them one by one; I've left descriptions on each one for you to understand their specific effects."
Lange pointed at the bottles and jars on the table with pride before shifting his gaze to the two Skill Books on the side and continued: "These two Skill Books are for Intermediate Level movement skills and Intermediate Level Forbidden Techniques respectively. Their value is immeasurable; even some combat techniques of equal rank do not compare in practical value to these two Skill Books. You should take them as well."
In the end, Lange glanced at Bu and thought for a moment before continuing: "As for Secret Techniques, I will not give you any more. Once you reach Holy Light Academy, there will naturally be better Secret Techniques for you to learn; I won't add unnecessary details."
At this moment, Bu completely ignored Lange's words and grabbed each bottle and jar on the table one by one to examine them closely; with each look, his breathing grew more rapid.
"Serenity Pill Type: Alchemical Elixir — Cultivation Effect: Restores twenty percent Mental Power within ten breaths after consumption; cannot be stacked. Description: Clear-minded and unobstructed in heart's desires; this is true freedom."
"Mad Demon Pill Type: Alchemical Elixir — Auxiliary Effect: Increases strength by twenty percent within three minutes after consumption; cannot be stacked. Description: At the brink of life and death, turn fate around."
"Cloud Dispersal Type: Alchemical Elixir — Effect: After consumption, the cultivation energy Speed increases by fifty percent for a short period, not stackable. Description: The path of alchemy, seizing the earth to replenish oneself."
"Stone Cooling Pill Type: Alchemical Elixir"
With each understanding of the effects of a different elixir, Bu's complexion became more vibrant, and by the end, he appeared somewhat frenzied. In a flurry, he stored all the elixirs into his Storage Bracelet, finally managing to calm down.
Even though he had anticipated the substantial benefits he would gain from agreeing to Lange, seeing these valuable items laid out before him still made it hard for Bu to remain composed. Especially the Mad Demon Pill and Cloud Dispersal, with their terrifying effects, Bu was certain they would be considered treasures even at major auctions.
The remaining two Skill Books were swept into his Storage Bracelet without further inspection. He knew it was time to address the External Avatar, but before that, there were some matters he needed to consult with Lange about.
"Could it be that this woman has consumed the Kedoran Potion?" After listening to Bu's explanation, Lange furrowed his brows and spoke lightly.
Upon hearing that the other party was indeed aware of the Kedoran Potion, Bu felt hopeful and quickly replied, "Yes, it must be this alchemical potion. I wonder if you, Elder, have any methods to restore her appearance?"
Bu's tone was extremely urgent, which surprised Lange. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and smiled, saying, "Actually, you don't need to seek my help for this matter; you can resolve it yourself."
"I can resolve it?" Bu looked at Lange with a surprised expression.
Lange shook his head with a smile and pointed at Bu, saying, "You silly fool. Since yesterday's Peak Showdown concluded, I bestowed eleven prizes. Except for you who received two items, everyone else only got one prize. The answer lies within those prizes."
"That stinky bottle?" Bu suddenly realized and pulled out a colorful potion bottle from his Storage Bracelet.
"I didn't expect that the item to restore Amy's appearance would actually be in my hands; it truly came without effort." Bu smiled as he played with the potion bottle but hesitated to open it.
"What’s inside this bottle is a potion called 'Burn.' It is extremely difficult to refine; even some Intermediate Alchemists find it challenging. Therefore, it's almost never seen on the market. However, using 'Burn' to dispel that slight curse from the Kedoran Potion is not difficult at all."
Lange spoke calmly while introducing the contents of the potion bottle with a smile in his eyes.
"Alright, this matter is settled. Elder, as you know, I also brought along two Servants. Their strength is too low; I'm afraid once we reach the Holy Light Academy..."
Bu did not finish his sentence because Lange had already shaken his head with a wry smile and produced several more potion bottles.
"Although potions for strengthening low-level practitioners and training their bodies are quite valuable, they are like Candy Beans to me. If I hadn't had some of these potions left over from years past, even if you made a request today, I wouldn't be able to fulfill it."
Lange waved his hand and, seeing that Bu had emptied the vial, continued, "Now it's time to deal with the External Avatar, isn't it?"
Bu had gained a lot of benefits and felt somewhat shy at this moment, nodding in agreement.
Lange snorted impatiently, gesturing to pull the Red Entity wrapped in Purple Light before him. His expression turned serious as he spoke in a deep voice, "Before merging with this External Avatar, there are some important pieces of information I must make clear to you.
The External Avatar is a technique unique to deities, inaccessible to mortals. Although this form transformed from the red lotus has been sealed by Outer Xuan Fire, its power should not be underestimated.
In my early years, I attempted to forcibly merge with this External Avatar but ultimately failed miserably. At the last moment, I was even backlashed by this Spirit Beast. If I hadn't quickly severed my spiritual connection upon sensing danger, I would have been possessed by this Spirit Beast. If that had happened, it wouldn't be me refining it into an External Avatar; rather, it would be it refining me into an External Avatar."
"Refined into an External Avatar by the Spirit Beast?" Bu felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the floating Red Entity, his sense of caution skyrocketing.
"To refine this External Avatar, there is only one thing you must remember: stay true to your heart, observe the path with focus, and do not be disturbed by the myriad of things or illusions; they are ultimately illusory. If you cannot achieve this, then the outcome will be possession by the Spirit Beast. At that moment of your failure, I will personally slay you."
Lange's tone was heavy, his eyes sharp as he stared directly at Bu. From his serious expression, Bu understood that Lange was not joking, and he couldn't help but feel a weight in his heart.
His gaze fell upon the flickering purple-red light of the External Avatar. The strange sensation of unease and the slowly rising chest of the Red Entity seemed to breathe like a living being. Everything felt like the blooming of a poppy flower, bringing endless temptation to Bu.
