Chilan's aura surged layer by layer, reaching an extreme before erupting.
He succeeded!
He had comprehended a brand new "Star Spirit Body."
"Myriad Star Spirit Body"!
With a wave of his hand, countless stars appeared behind Chilan, twinkling with profound mystery.
These stars continuously drew in the surrounding stellar energy, amplifying Chilan's power.
Chilan's cultivation speed advanced by leaps and bounds.
The "Myriad Star Spirit Body" offered almost zero offense and defense, but its boost to cultivation was unparalleled.
Now, Chilan's cultivation speed was tens of times faster than before!
The "Myriad Star Spirit Body" was not particularly outstanding among "Star Spirit Bodies" due to its severe specialization, with extremely weak offense and defense.
However, it was the most suitable for Chilan!
Chilan was blessed with immense fortune. He had masterfully utilized the "Flame Suppressing General" and "Reincarnated Grandmaster" set combinations, allowing him to draw heavily on the power of the "Fiery Domain" and achieve explosive combat strength.
What Chilan lacked was cultivation speed.
The "Myriad Star Spirit Body" undoubtedly compensated for this weakness.
"Hahaha, this is wonderful! Thank you, Senior!"
Chilan was ecstatic. He let out three loud laughs, knelt towards the direction of the cave, and paid his respects with utmost reverence.
He had to thank Hao Ren.
Hao Ren's monthly three-second activation of the "Star Spirit Light" had completely changed his destiny.
Chilan's personal talent was mediocre, and his cultivation speed was slow. Despite cultivating for over a thousand lifetimes, he had achieved little.
But now, with his cultivation speed catching up, his future in this lifetime was limitless!
Chilan believed that this lifetime, he might have a chance to break through the heavenly tribulation and achieve the legendary final step of "Ascension to Immortality."
...
Three seconds later, the "Eastern Star Chart" autonomously returned to the cave.
The next activation would be a month later.
One month of charging for three seconds of burst.
This efficiency was rather… subtle!
The Golden Core cultivators slowly opened their eyes, a look of lingering desire on their faces.
Alas, what a pity, they hadn't comprehended a "Star Spirit Body" this time.
Apart from Chilan, no one else had comprehended a "Star Spirit Body" in this cycle.
However, they were not discouraged. If it didn't happen this time, it would next. They would have another chance in a month anyway!
True Man Qingfeng also opened his eyes, his face devoid of any disappointment.
"To gain is my fortune, to lose is my fate!"
If I didn't comprehend a "Star Spirit Body" this time, it must be that my destiny hasn't arrived yet. I'll wait for next time!
Since becoming the "Second Generation Leader of the Di Hua Cult," True Man Qingfeng's mental state had been steadily improving.
He began organizing the daily tasks.
"Fellow Daoists, Senior has once again bestowed upon us the Star Spirit Light. Now is the time to express our gratitude!"
The Golden Core cultivators responded in unison. They quickly formed their ranks and knelt uniformly outside the cave.
Ready, set, go!
"Senior is light, Senior is electricity, Senior is the only myth..."
The wailing songs echoed throughout the mountain forest.
Utterly dreadful!
Utterly insane!
The Azure-eyed Purple Gold Hound couldn't stand it. It covered its ears and hid inside the cave.
As soon as it entered, a human-shaped shadow enveloped it.
Who dares block my path without looking?
The Azure-eyed Purple Gold Hound glared, ready to unleash its fury.
But when it looked up and saw the figure blocking its way, the Azure-eyed Purple Gold Hound instantly cowered.
Its tail drooped, wagging left and right, like a dog fawning over its master.
"Roar! Boss!"
There was only one being in heaven and earth worthy of such treatment: Hao Ren!
Hao Ren looked down from above, scrutinizing the Azure-eyed Purple Gold Hound, and said coldly,
"Hand it over!"
Huh?
The Azure-eyed Purple Gold Hound tried its best to feign an innocent, confused expression.
Hand over what?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Inside, it was panicking fiercely.
Holy crap!
This is bad!
What has been discovered?
Is it about my cheating at cards with the cultivators outside?
Did I get desperate and secretly sell off treasures and elixirs from the boss's vault?
Or is it about me embezzling half of the engineering funds the boss paid to the "Pangolin Guild"?
...
As a divine beast of the demonic path, the Azure-eyed Purple Gold Hound greatly enjoyed the thrill of "making a quick buck."
We who walk the demonic path should do such "petty thievery," otherwise, we'll be laughed at by our peers!
Despite its inclinations, the Azure-eyed Purple Gold Hound was still very nervous about facing Hao Ren's "wrath."
Hao Ren sneered.
"The month before last, you stole a total of thirty-four bottles of Dragon Tooth Rice Wine and sold them privately, profiting one hundred thousand and two thousand low-grade spirit stones."
"The month before last, you stole a total of fifty-six bottles of Dragon Tooth Rice Wine and sold them privately, profiting one hundred and sixty-eight thousand low-grade spirit stones."
"The month before last, you stole a total of seventy-eight bottles of Dragon Tooth Rice Wine and sold them privately, profiting two hundred and thirty-four thousand low-grade spirit stones."
"Including principal and interest, I'll charge you one million. Pay up!"
...
Upon hearing this, the Azure-eyed Purple Gold Hound was shocked, and cold sweat broke out all over its body.
It was finished!
The chickens had come home to roost!
It had been "smuggling Dragon Tooth Rice Wine," believing it was done secretly and without anyone noticing. Who knew that Hao Ren knew everything?
How could the boss know so clearly? Was he watching me all the time? This is too terrifying!
The Azure-eyed Purple Gold Hound was overthinking. Hao Ren genuinely didn't have the time to watch it. He'd rather spend that time looking at the Big Dragon Girl, pfft... Little Dragon Girl, Little Dragon Girl, big...
The reason Hao Ren discovered the Azure-eyed Purple Gold Hound stealing wine was entirely from the "dynamic messages."
[Ding! Your friend "Azure-eyed Purple Gold Hound" stole a bottle of "Dragon Tooth Rice Wine" and sold it to your friend "True Man Yun Peng," earning 3000 low-grade spirit stones.]
...
Every time the Azure-eyed Purple Gold Hound "smuggled" a bottle of "Dragon Tooth Rice Wine," another line would appear in its "personal dynamic messages." It was impossible for Hao Ren not to know!
Roar!
After the initial panic, the Azure-eyed Purple Gold Hound quickly regained its composure.
This isn't right!
It's being extorted!
Its total profit from smuggling over these three months was less than five hundred thousand, yet Hao Ren was demanding one million!
Extortion!! Blackmail!!
This was obviously unacceptable!
The Azure-eyed Purple Gold Hound refused to pay. It had no money anyway; it had lost it all.
It had no money, but it wouldn't give up its life!
The Azure-eyed Purple Gold Hound began to exhibit its "rogue spirit."
Whoosh!
A bolt of lightning shot directly towards the Azure-eyed Purple Gold Hound.
Hao Ren made his move, seemingly intending to teach the Azure-eyed Purple Gold Hound a lesson, and activated the "Lightning Hammer" to attack it.
Tch!
This kind of attack is child's play!
The Azure-eyed Purple Gold Hound sneered dismissively.
It was a divine beast at the Golden Core stage. Could a mere Rank Nine artifact, a "Lightning Hammer" that couldn't even be considered a magic treasure, harm it?
I'll stand still and let you hit me. If you can knock me down, I'll admit defeat!
Rumble!
The "Lightning Hammer" struck the Azure-eyed Purple Gold Hound. Lightning flashed, and electric snakes danced...
