Incredible Sect Simulator-Chapter 697 - 665: The Celestial Fire Palace’s Reward

Chapter 697: Chapter 665: The Celestial Fire Palace’s Reward

As the signature mineral of the Celestial Fire Palace, Star River Sand, much like Celestial Fire Purple Gold Copper, is extremely well-known and a famous mineral of Qingli Sea.

The Celestial Fire Purple Gold Copper needs no further elaboration, as Lu Yuanshan once participated in a campaign against the Outer Realm demons by the Celestial Fire Palace to obtain it.

However, the yield of Star River Sand from the Celestial Fire Palace is actually not much, even less than that of Celestial Fire Purple Gold Copper.

However, Star River Sand can be sold at a high price to outsiders, and it can be purchased as long as one has Spirit Stones.

Celestial Fire Purple Gold Copper, on the other hand, requires aiding the Celestial Fire Palace in suppressing the Outer Realm demons to obtain.

This time, Lu Ping has come to the Celestial Fire Palace with plenty of Spirit Stones, aiming to purchase Star River Sand.

"I wonder what the current market price for Star River Sand is."

Lu Ping took out a prepared purchase list, on which the required amount of Star River Sand was listed separately, and handed it to Master Yufeng.

"If your sect has enough Star River Sand, I will purchase this amount at the price you have set."

Master Yufeng took a glance at the purchase list Lu Ping handed over, then passed it to the Celestial Fire Palace Master.

Xuu Chuyang also came over to take a look.

"Brother Lu, please wait a moment."

Master Yufeng said.

The three of them did not immediately respond to Lu Ping but instead exchanged communications between themselves for a while.

"To use Spirit Stones to purchase Star River Sand, Brother Lu, you’re seeing us as outsiders this time."

After the communication had ended, Master Yufeng was the first to speak, smiling slightly.

An outsider?

"Oh? What do you mean by that?"

Lu Ping heard this, somewhat puzzled.

The next moment, before Lu Ping could inquire further, Master Yufeng began explaining: "Earlier, Elder Xuu, the Sect Leader, and I discussed your requested amount of Star River Sand. Our Celestial Fire Palace not only has it but can also give it to you without charging any Spirit Stones."

"You’re giving me Star River Sand?"

Lu Ping’s expression shifted.

Earlier, when Master Yufeng and the other two exchanged communications, Lu Ping had observed this and understood that selling sect-specific mine stones would inevitably require some discussion.

Moreover, the amount he was purchasing was not small.

"Hehehe, it’s like this."

This time, the Celestial Fire Palace Master spoke with a cheerful smile: "Previously, Lu Daoist helped us suppress the Outer Realm demons at the Lost Vortex, which was a great help. Your contributions are undeniable."

Saying this, the Celestial Fire Palace Master’s expression became serious, speaking earnestly: "Our Celestial Fire Palace has always been clear about gratitude and grievances, distinguishing right from wrong. Therefore, this batch of Star River Sand should be seen as our reward to repay your kindness."

"Indeed."

Master Yufeng also nodded in agreement.

Nearby, Xuu Chuyang also nodded slightly, showing a serious attitude.

The three of them had just communicated to discuss the matter of Star River Sand.

To repay Lu Ping, the proposal to gift Star River Sand was made by Master Yufeng.

It’s worth mentioning that once Master Yufeng brought up this idea, it was immediately agreed upon by the Celestial Fire Palace Master and Xuu Chuyang.

Lu Ping’s recent achievements in slaying the Outer Realm demons were clearly observed by them, and while they were impressed by Lu Ping’s strength, they also wanted to properly thank him.

The amount of Star River Sand Lu Ping needed, although it equates to over a million Spirit Stones in value, when exchanged.

However, all three agreed that Lu Ping’s assistance was entirely worth the reward of this Star River Sand.

Imagine, if Lu Ping hadn’t stepped in, the appearance of the Black Demon would certainly have caused casualties among the Celestial Fire Palace disciples.

Without Lu Ping’s World-Ending Fire to seal the Lost Vortex in the aftermath, the casualties on the Celestial Fire Palace’s side would surely have been greater.

In comparison, whether this valuable amount of Star River Sand is worth giving as a reward to Lu Ping, they’re all clear about it inside.

"To be given Star River Sand as a reward, this..."

Lu Ping hesitated, not without a wry smile.

He hadn’t anticipated that he could obtain Star River Sand for free, without spending a single Spirit Stone.

"Yes, Lu Daoist, you deserve this! This matter is settled, no need for further discussion."

The Celestial Fire Palace Master was decisive, not giving Lu Ping a reason to refuse.

"Indeed, Brother Lu, don’t be modest. Unless you’re dissatisfied with our offer?"

Master Yufeng said, teasingly laughing.

Xuu Chuyang didn’t speak, merely smiling at Lu Ping.

Upon hearing the Celestial Fire Palace Master and Master Yufeng speak in this way, Lu Ping no longer declined, showing a serious expression.

"Since it’s your sect’s goodwill, then as they say, ’to accept is better than to refuse with respect.’"

"Hahahaha, it’s great that you’re willing to accept it!"

Master Yufeng laughed heartily, then he left for a short while, at the Celestial Fire Palace Master’s suggestion.

Shortly after, when he reappeared, after only a few breaths of time, he brought a Storage Bag to hand it over to Lu Ping.

"Brother Lu, inside this is thirteen thousand six hundred pounds of Star River Sand. Please check it."

Due to the uneven size of Star River Sand, for the convenience of sale, the Celestial Fire Palace sells it by weight.

And inside this Storage Bag, there’s an inscribed Lightweight Array, making it feel like holding a small stone.

"No need to check, this time I’ve taken advantage of you."

Lu Ping directly put away the Storage Bag.

There was no need to worry about whether the amount of Star River Sand inside was sufficient.

The Celestial Fire Palace Master’s word is trustworthy, there won’t be any skimping.

Lu Ping could clearly think through the main reason for acquiring this Star River Sand.

Serving as a reward is just one reason.

The second reason is that, after witnessing Lu Ping’s impressive strength, the Celestial Fire Palace Master believed Lu Ping was worthy of forming a connection with.

Spending some Star River Sand to establish good relations, or even to draw in a potential powerhouse for the Celestial Fire Palace, who might assist again in the future, is entirely worthwhile.

As a Sect Leader, one naturally doesn’t scheme for petty gains, but looks beyond the immediate.

Lu Ping was preparing to set up a Tier Five Spirit Gathering Array, and not only the Celestial Fire Palace Master, but Master Yufeng and Xuu Chuyang also inferred that Lu Ping was preparing to impact the Nascent Soul Stage.

Once Lu Ping successfully reaches the Nascent Soul Stage, his status would certainly soar.

By that time, they would have drawn in a Nascent Soul Old Monster for the Celestial Fire Palace!

Next, warmly hosted by Master Yufeng and the other two, Lu Ping stayed at the Celestial Fire Palace for a day.

It was not until the next day that Lu Ping took his leave and departed the Celestial Fire Palace.

Having obtained the most challenging Star River Sand, gathering the other array materials became much easier.

In the following days, with Lu Ping’s involvement, and being a Golden Core Cultivator, his identity facilitated many tasks. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Many Crystallization Cultivators and a few Golden Core Stage Cultivators, upon learning of Lu Ping’s procurement needs, took the opportunity to form connections with him, seeking mutual benefit.

In total, spending around one hundred thirty thousand Spirit Stones, Lu Ping collected the Spirit Gathering Stone, Star River Sand, and other array materials.

With these array materials acquired, Lu Ping wasted no time and, the next day, headed to Nine Cold Mountain to visit Elder Jiang.
