Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 682 - 364: One Day in the Sky, One Year on Earth_2

"That's why I said, the Divine Weapon Pavilion will give you a slot."

"Maybe, after coming back from the Shattered World, your cultivation would directly reach the peak of the Core Formation Realm."

Saying too much in one breath, Chu Tiange took a big gulp of happy water, while Lu Yu had a thoughtful expression.

Lu Yu thought to himself: "If I need to enter the Shattered World, should I prepare seven supreme spiritual objects in advance?"

According to Chu Tiange, things from the Divine Martial World brought into the Shattered World would lose their effect, and it's unclear if the supreme spiritual objects in the backpack would be affected?

Regardless, it's best to prepare some items first!

Lu Yu didn't believe he could find many supreme spiritual objects in the Shattered World that meet his requirements.

Furthermore, whether the Shattered World even has supreme spiritual objects is a question, so it's necessary to prepare supreme spiritual objects before entering the Shattered World.

Right now, he has one supreme spiritual object on hand and needs six more.

He glanced at Chu Tiange, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Do you know where I can get supreme spiritual objects?"

Chu Tiange asked, puzzled: "What do you need supreme spiritual objects for? It's too extravagant to use them for cultivation."

"Never mind, it's none of my business what you want to do." Chu Tiange realized it might be Lu Yu's secret and waved his hand. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

After thinking for a moment, Chu Tiange said: "If you're looking for supreme spiritual objects, you can go to the Heaven and Earth Commerce Association. I heard they acquired several supreme spiritual objects some time ago and are preparing for an auction in three days."

"Heaven and Earth Commerce Association?" Lu Yu silently noted the place Chu Tiange mentioned.

Chu Tiange thought for a while and added: "The Chu King's Mansion actually has a few idle supreme spiritual objects. If you can offer something of equivalent value in exchange, I can make the decision to trade with you."

Lu Yu's eyes brightened and he said: "Sure."

The two went to the treasury of the Chu King's Mansion. Chu Tiange asked the treasury manager to bring out several idle supreme spiritual objects for Lu Yu to choose from.

A supreme spiritual object could be worth as little as a million Spirit Stones or as much as tens of millions or even more, with a wide range in value.

Some supreme spiritual objects require very harsh conditions to refine, making them extremely rare and powerful, but with low usability and poor adaptability, suitable only for a very few, significantly reducing their value.

There are also some supreme spiritual objects with unknown specific attributes upon their first appearance. The abilities generated when refined into Divine Soldiers are also unknown, making their value very low.

It's akin to gambling, priced low, attracting those willing to take risks to explore and act as guinea pigs.

The price of these unknown supreme spiritual objects can be lower than some high-level spiritual objects.

For Lu Yu, the value of a spiritual object is one thing; more importantly, it has to be compatible with him.

Four supreme spiritual objects with varying lights were placed in front of Lu Yu.

A severely weathered grayish-white stone, Lu Yu could feel a strange power on it, seemingly accelerating the stone's weathering.

This spiritual object was identified as supreme because of the peculiar power attached to the stone.

The stone weathered into fine powder visible to the naked eye, dispersing into the air.

Lu Yu speculated that the power attached to the stone was either a very strong corrosive power or related to time.

If it's related to time, then the stone's value would be sky-high, but even if it's the power of time, it doesn't suit Lu Yu, let alone the uncertainty.

The second supreme spiritual object was a Thunder Pearl, in which Lu Yu could feel a violent destructive power.

The third supreme spiritual object was a Longevity Grass, containing terrifying Vitality Power. If refined into a Divine Soldier, one could likely live for a thousand years or more at the Core Formation Realm.

The fourth supreme spiritual object was a dark triangular scale.

Seeing the scale, Lu Yu was momentarily stunned, feeling a sense of familiarity as if he had seen it somewhere before.

After searching his mind for a while, he remembered, back at the Demon Spirit Castle, the scale Luo Heng had resembled this one.

He hesitated for a moment and took the scale.

Upon seeing his choice, Chu Tiange said: "This is the Reverse Scale of the Void Ancient Dragon."

"Every thousand years, dragons shed a layer of Scale Armor, and one of the scales condenses all the power from that stage, known as the dragon's Reverse Scale."

"This is why there's a saying about dragons having a Reverse Scale, touching it means certain death."

"Most of the power in this Reverse Scale has been absorbed by the Void Ancient Dragon, but the remaining minuscule power is still enough to make it a supreme spiritual object."

After listening, Lu Yu decisively chose the Reverse Scale, saying: "I'll exchange three hundred Ninth Grade heavenly treasures for this supreme spiritual object."

A Ninth Grade heavenly treasure is worth around a hundred thousand Spirit Stones, often more, not less.

Three hundred means Lu Yu valued this Reverse Scale at over thirty million Spirit Stones.

Chu Tiange had no objections and said: "Fine."

The treasury manager, holding the other three supreme spiritual objects, was heartbroken seeing Chu Tiange exchange a supreme spiritual object for a pile of Ninth Grade heavenly treasures.

Lu Yu immediately took out three hundred Ninth Grade heavenly treasures, consuming about ten billion Points, directly halving his Points reserve.

Seeing the Ninth Grade heavenly treasures Lu Yu took out, the painful expression on the manager's face eased significantly.

The Ninth Grade heavenly treasures Lu Yu offered are quite varied, including some very high-value and rare ones, as well as those useful for Alchemy.

With these Ninth Grade heavenly treasures, there's no worry about the Alchemist of the Chu King's Mansion lacking materials anymore.

Both parties were relatively satisfied with this trade, and Chu Tiange escorted Lu Yu out of the Chu King's Mansion.

Before leaving, Lu Yu told Chu Tiange that Zhou Hong invited him to the Observatory Pavilion tonight.

When the time came to after six o'clock in the evening, Lu Yu made his way to the Observatory Pavilion on time.

Upon arriving at the Observatory Pavilion, Lu Yu realized that he wasn't the only one invited.

When he arrived, there were already three people on the Pavilion. Upon seeing Lu Yu's arrival, each of them showed different expressions.

No one else arrived after Lu Yu.

At the hour of the dog, Zhou Hong appeared on the Observatory Pavilion on time, inviting the four people present into the Observatory Pavilion.

Once everyone was seated, Zhou Hong glanced at the four and said: "I invited everyone here today for something very important."

"I have five slots for entering the Temporal Secret Realm, and I invited you all here to discuss the Temporal Secret Realm."

"Temporal Secret Realm?" Lu Yu was puzzled. Wasn't Zhou Hong's intention for the Shattered World? This Temporal Secret Realm seems to be related to time.

The other three showed signs of delight—they had heard of the Temporal Secret Realm before. Martial Cultivators who had entered it before had seen rapid advances in their strength within less than a month.

Rumor has it that months would pass in the Temporal Secret Realm while only a day passed in the Divine Martial World.

Though they had heard of the Temporal Secret Realm, they had never found any clues about it, as if it were just a myth, existing only in tales passed from mouth to mouth.

Now that Zhou Hong mentioned the Temporal Secret Realm, the three understood it wasn't just a rumor but a real 'Secret Realm.'

Zhou Hong said to them: "The Temporal Secret Realm is very dangerous, and no external items can be used inside; you can only rely on your own strength to deal with the dangers."

"This time, I invited you all to form an alliance, to help each other within the Temporal Secret Realm."

"You see, many dangers there cannot be resolved by strength alone and require joint effort, or a solo adventurer could easily fall into inescapable peril without recourse."

"Additionally, I need a portion of your time," Zhou Hong finally stated.

Hearing this, Lu Yu was somewhat confused. What did Zhou Hong mean by needing a portion of their time?

The other three also didn't understand what Zhou Hong meant by his words.

Looking at each other, Hong Jingtao asked: "What do you mean by needing a portion of our time?"

Zhou Hong replied: "You should know, while months pass in the Temporal Secret Realm, only a day passes in the Divine Martial World. At critical times, I need you to give up your cultivation time to guard me."

The three hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay."

Without Zhou Hong's slots, they wouldn't even be able to enter the Temporal Secret Realm.

It's a trade, Zhou Hong provides the slots, they provide the time.

Zhou Hong then looked at Lu Yu, as he was the only one who hadn't spoken.

Noticing Zhou Hong's action, the others also turned their eyes to Lu Yu, watching him and waiting for his response.
