Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 722: Chapter 332: Rewards and Merits (Part 2)

After digesting the souls and flesh acquired this time, Chu Xiu’s Demon Legion will have a significant leap in strength, definitely becoming one of his main combat methods.

In this way, equipment that enhances the entire group becomes extremely important.

"The three Celestial Kings are really considerate."

"And also..."

Chu Xiu glanced at the last line of the note.

The Scepter of Oraste is the key to unlocking Oraste’s Treasure Vault.

"Why do I smell a conspiracy?"

Chu Xiu shook his head with a bit of amusement, feeling that it was like bait thrown by the Celestial Kings.

But despite this, Chu Xiu had no hesitation and directly pocketed the equipment.

Then, he continued to examine the other items.

The value of the other items was not that outstanding, with the most precious ones being on par with the Divine Gifted Meteorite Iron tier, and only less than ten items exceeded a total price of one million Cause and Effect Points, all of which were relatively niche materials.

"Why not just take a Heroic Spirit Legend?"

There are three Heroic Spirit Legends in the vault, which are relatively high in value.

"However, the materials in this vault are indeed complete."

Like the Divine Gifted Meteorite Iron that Chu Xiu had previously sought after, and the materials for refining the Four Symbols Yin Yang Furnace and Ten Directions Nether Fire Array are all present.

Missing this opportunity, some top-tier materials might be hard to collect.

Suddenly, Chu Xiu’s expression changed as he glanced at one material.

[Top-grade Overclocking Core (Mythical): Can serve as the power source for overclocking equipment.]

He had previously revealed a Mythical Equipment Blueprint.

The main material needed for that equipment was the [Overclocking Core], which Chu Xiu had seen at an auction before, but unfortunately, he couldn’t make a deal in the end.

And now, this [Top-grade Overclocking Core] is undoubtedly an upper substitute for the [Overclocking Core]!

This means that if this equipment is used as a material, the refined [Mythical] equipment might also upgrade to the [Demigod Myth] tier, similar to [Heavy Sword Chiwen]!

Although its value isn’t absurdly high, it’s on par with Heroic Spirit Legends and extremely rare.

After browsing all the other items, Chu Xiu finally chose to take this Overclocking Core.

Upon hearing his choice, the three demigods gave Chu Xiu a surprised look but didn’t say much, simply handing him the corresponding item.

Next, others stepped forward to select their rewards in succession.

Chu Xiu silently observed from the sidelines. When he saw a Heroic Spirit take a black item, his eyes lit up, and he walked over.

"Brother Liang, how about I exchange fifteen thousand Cause and Effect Points for the [Source of Netherfire] in your hand?"

The Heroic Spirit, being addressed, was initially stunned, then readily agreed: "No problem, I took it just because it’s rare, but since Brother Qin wants it, take it."

Chu Xiu expressed his gratitude, as he had use for this item.

The Netherfire, as the fire of death, can only be used by a few Awakened professions, so even though this Source of Netherfire is actually high tier, its market price isn’t high. Fifteen thousand Cause and Effect Points is just right.

However, the item is very scarce, and sometimes several years of auctions might pass without one appearing.

After securing the [Source of Netherfire], Chu Xiu continued to sit in his place, waiting for everyone to finish receiving their rewards, leading to the free activity gathering session.

A group of Heroic Spirits and demigods approached to befriend him, and Chu Xiu didn’t refuse anyone, getting acquainted with each person.

Any of these people, if randomly selected, were high-ranking and influential figures, especially demigods like Huang Anhua and Divine Power Daoist. The former represented the country, and the latter was a significant figure among the Four Great Families, both wielding great power.

But at this moment, they were all actively engaging in conversation with Chu Xiu.

Even after this collective battle, these powerful demigods had begun to interact with Chu Xiu as equals.

Ordinarily, someone else might be feeling a bit conceited at this point, but Chu Xiu wouldn’t indulge in such ephemeral socializing. After courteously chatting with everyone, he was ready to leave.

But just then, a figure suddenly blocked his way.

"Mr. Qin, my master wishes to see you, may I ask if you have some time?" Chen Huang bowed and said.

Chu Xiu was taken aback: "Is the Sun King still in Huaxia?"

"Yes, the master wants to meet you before leaving."

Since it was an invitation from the Sun King, although he didn’t know what the Sun King wanted to discuss, Chu Xiu had no reason to refuse.

Following Chen Huang, he quickly arrived at the top floor of a luxury hotel nearby.

When the door opened, Chu Xiu saw the Sun King leisurely reclining on a luxurious leather sofa, watching a newly released movie based on a web novel on a high-definition projection screen.

The story is about an ordinary person who, by chance, acquires a [System] from the depths of higher dimensions, eventually wreaking havoc everywhere, punching Celestial Kings and kicking the Abyss.

Of course, no one dared to portray Celestial Kings as villains, so there were labels of [Fictitious World] at the beginning of movies, with the Celestial Kings’ names changed, though the audience had a clear idea of who they referred to.

The movie happened to be at the scene where the protagonist battles the Sun King. At this age, special effects are quite realistic, and the actress playing the Sun King is a currently popular star. With the help of special effects, her breathtaking beauty combined with magnificent armor made her appear full of untouchable majesty and stunning charm.

The Sun King had her legs crossed, casually cracking melon seeds, engrossed in watching, while Chen Yuan stood behind her, giving her a shoulder massage.

Seeing Chu Xiu come in, she excitedly waved and called out, "Brother Qin!"

Chu Xiu nodded in acknowledgment, and the Sun King turned her head, her gaze falling quietly on Chu Xiu.

Upon seeing those golden eyes, Chu Xiu felt his heart suddenly seize. This time, not separated by a wooden door but directly meeting her gaze, he seemed to be able to see the core of the sun within those eyes, the millions of degrees of heat, the golden flames that could engulf everything!

Chu Xiu’s muscles instinctively tensed, his Burning Blood Golden Eyes uncontrollably trying to activate; Chu Xiu knew this was the divine demon’s pride roaring!

His spiritual sense clearly informed him that he was facing an absolute upper-tier existence. The Sun King seemed like the most noble ruler of the world, whom everyone must bow before, and Chu Xiu’s condensed Divine-Demonic Foundation didn’t want to surrender, leaving it with no choice but to battle!

But just as Chu Xiu was about to lose control of himself, the Sun King chuckled lightly.

"Interesting."

With those words, the golden flames in the Sun King’s eyes disappeared.

Chu Xiu let out a long breath, realizing his back was already soaked in sweat at some point.

Fortunately, by then, the Sun King had withdrawn all her brilliance, appearing no different from an ordinary person.

Still, Chu Xiu felt that even though she had restrained her aura, sitting there leisurely cracking melon seeds, she remained a hundred times more noble and unassailable than the fully made-up star in the movie.

Letting out a breath, Chu Xiu clasped his fists respectfully: "I greet the senior."

"May I know what reason the senior has for summoning this junior here?"

"It’s nothing major, you don’t need to be nervous." The Sun King’s gaze returned to the movie, gently swinging her fair, slender legs, "I mentioned before, didn’t I? You take care of Chen Yuan for me, and I’ll have a reward for you afterward."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu relaxed a lot and clasped his fists again: "Thank you, senior, but Miss Chen is strong. Even without me, she can protect herself. This junior actually hasn’t been much help."

The Sun King waved her hand casually: "No need to be polite. Besides, I also wanted to personally meet a Huaxia genius like you."

Upon hearing these words, Chu Xiu was flattered and said, "The senior overpraises me. Huaxia is full of talents, and this junior is nothing."

"Is that so?" The Sun King paused the movie, turning her head with a friendly smile at Chu Xiu:

"Ordinary demigods indeed wouldn’t catch my eye, but you, with your talent reaching demigod status before the age of twenty, don’t need to be so modest either."

As soon as the words fell, the room plunged into a dead silence.
