Chapter 957: Chapter 45: Advancement! Daughter’s Bloodline Reaches Sacred Body Sixth Layer
...
"Respected Lord Shouzhe, let’s talk about glory first~" the artifact spirit was excited, "You are truly creating history for our military camp. In the past, some graduates could break records using unscrupulous methods. However, you achieved this by slaying, such glory..."
With Wang Shouzhe’s completion of the first clearance kill, the prefixes of "Respected" and suffixes of "Lord" miraculously returned.
"Let’s talk about the rewards first." Wang Shouzhe interrupted the artifact spirit’s praise, as those meant nothing to him.
"As you wish, Lord Shouzhe..."
The artifact spirit suddenly felt that Wang Shouzhe was not the same kind of person.
I talk to you about ideals, but you insist on discussing reality. I speak of glory, and you talk about rewards! Hmph, worldly.
"For the first clearance reward of the seventh level, based on Lord Shouzhe’s combat habits, you can choose from [High-Order Spirit Plant], [Blank Spiritual Artifact Divine Power Weapon (no replacement needed)], [High-tier Biochemical Beast Eggs], or [Purple Mansion Realm Late Stage Guard Puppet]."
"The seventh level clearance reward is fixed as [Blank Spiritual Artifact Divine Power Weapon], but requires replacing a high-quality magical treasure from the fifth level."
"Breaking the historical record of this military camp at the seventh level allows you to obtain a fixed reward of [High-Level Bloodline Qualification Improvement Liquid Essence Edition]."
Wang Shouzhe had already learned these rewards through Wang Anye’s indirect probing, but even so, Wang Shouzhe still had a small question: "Artifact spirit, why is there a missing equipment level of Purple Mansion Treasure between magical treasure and divine power weapon?"
"Purple Mansion Treasure? Hmm, I’ve heard of such things. But these are insignificant pieces of equipment that some civilian organizations produce as transitional items," the artifact spirit explained. "The main driving force of magical treasures comes from the energy of the treasure itself and the user’s power, enhancing and amplifying the combat ability of the Black Tortoise cultivator."
"However, if a Black Tortoise cultivator awakens to the fifth-order bloodline, they can gradually resonate with the Heavenly Dao and fight by borrowing the Power of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, the best weapon for the fifth-order bloodline is, of course, the divine power weapon that can communicate and harness the Power of the Heavenly Dao. Although Black Tortoise cultivators with the fifth-order bloodline cannot fully wield the power of divine power weapons initially, with time, increased cultivation, and the nurturing of artifact spirits, the strength will grow continuously."
"However, divine power weapons are not easy to craft and are quite expensive, so not everyone can be equipped with them. Therefore, some civilian organizations developed transitional treasures with some divine power at a relatively affordable price called Purple Mansion Treasures, which some people also refer to as ’minor divine power weapons.’
"For a genius with great potential like Respected Lord Shouzhe, it is suggested to directly use divine power weapons. Thus, a divine power weapon is directly provided in the rewards, which, over time, can nurture and cultivate one’s own artifact spirit."
Wang Shouzhe understood. Currently, some of the Purple Mansion Treasures (also known as minor divine power spirit treasures) used in the Purple Mansion Realm are considered ’poor man’s gear.’ If conditions allow, it’s better to directly go for divine power spirit treasures, as long as one has achieved the Dao Body, both can be wielded.
No wonder Liyao’s master, Celestial River Zhenren, went through great expense and even debt to equip Liyao with divine power spirit treasures. Otherwise, giving her a Purple Mansion Treasure would soon require replacement, delaying her rapport and bond with the divine treasure.
Of course, for ordinary Purple Mansion cultivators, using Purple Mansion Treasures is fine as well. After all, most Daqian Kingdom’s Purple Mansion Realm cultivators awaken their fifth-layer Dao Body bloodline only at the Purple Mansion Realm, finding it difficult to progress further.
Using divine power spirit treasures would be both unaffordable and a waste!
The only thing that left Wang Shouzhe somewhat conflicted was that although the first clearance rewards were all excellent, he could only choose one item!
Not to mention, those high-order spirit plants and high-tier bio-beasts are very high-end potential goods pointing to Tier Eleven. Of course, potential aside, reaching Tier Eleven is extremely challenging.
There’s also the Purple Mansion Realm Late Stage Guard Puppet, which is a great treasure for the Wang Family. Given the Divine Martial Dynasty’s consistent high-quality style, that thing might even be able to stall a Divine Power Realm cultivator for a moment.
Wang Shouzhe really wished he could take all of them, but alas, firstly, there were two Divine Power Realm guard puppets still standing in the military camp. Secondly, the first clearance rewards are stocked in the shared dimensional warehouse of the entire military camp, not available in this new recruit camp.
Fortunately, Wang Shouzhe always valued intelligence and had long had Wang Anye investigate the subsequent rewards during his spare time. In the first clearance reward of the eighth level, there’s another plant to choose from.
Therefore, after a slight hesitation, Wang Shouzhe chose the Purple Mansion Realm Late Stage Guard Puppet.
This treasure significantly aids the Wang Family, greatly ensuring their everyday safety.
"Respected Lord Shouzhe, you will receive the Purple Mansion Realm Late Stage Guard Puppet, Blank Spiritual Artifact Divine Power Weapon, and High-Level Bloodline Qualification Improvement Liquid Essence Edition," the artifact spirit continued. "Because you have passed the seventh level, the [Intermediate-to-Advanced Officer Training Academy] will roll out the red carpet for you, granting you quasi-general qualifications and the eligibility to undergo quasi-legion commander training and assessment."
A series of lights flashed, and a guard puppet appeared in front of Wang Shouzhe, roughly the height of an ordinary person.
It looked quite understated, with restrained aura, with not a hint of a master’s presence. Compared to the Purple Mansion Realm Puppet King Shou Sect obtained at great cost, it seemed more peaceful and serene.
