Stronger from Earth-Chapter 160 - 2)

Upon seeing these defective Celestial Treasures, Wang Xuan was more excited than seeing a group of naked beauties, his once calm mind now active again.

All his previous troubles were cast aside.

"Three hundred pieces, not a single one missing, generally preserved, with twenty made of metal, of ordinary value."

After examining them, Wang Xuan knew that these defective Celestial Treasures, in the eyes of an ordinary cultivator, could be bought with money and were far less valuable than complete Celestial Treasures.

"I did it according to your request, don't tell me it's not okay," Gai Feixian frowned slightly.

Wang Xuan waved his sleeve, and all three hundred defective Celestial Treasures fell into his storage space, then two Celestial Treasures appeared in his hands.

"Your sword, returned to its rightful owner."

With a clang, two Treasure Swords fell into Gai Feixian's hands. A sword is the beloved item of a Sword Cultivator, and if they have to choose between a woman and a sword, they will most likely choose the sword.

After briefly checking, Gai Feixian knew Wang Xuan was very trustworthy, there were no tricks, he returned them completely intact.

"I still need to remold this Flying Sword, I don't know how much effort it will take," Gai Feixian sighed, as a stream of water flowed back into his mouth from a wine jar.

"Fixing it is better than not having it." Wang Xuan thought Gai Feixian was a very valuable person and asked, "Gai Feixian, why don't we have another competition?

If you lose, you don't have to give me your sword, just collect another three hundred defective Celestial Treasures for me. If I lose, I'll give you two Celestial Treasures."

Gai Feixian didn't even listen to his persuasion, and busily waved his hands: "Don't try to trick me, one of my Flying Swords is broken, my strength dropped by thirty percent, fighting you again would be like being your punching bag?

Wang Xuan, do you think I'm stupid."

"Hmm, you're a bit smarter than I thought," Wang Xuan held up one finger, indicating a tiny measure with his fingernail.

Gai Feixian retrieved his Treasure Sword, fulfilling his wish, and rose to leave.

"Let's meet again if fate allows, once I've honed my skills, I'll challenge you again." With that, he walked away on the autumn breeze.

"I'll be waiting," Wang Xuan was hoping for his golden benefactor to deliver more defective Celestial Treasures to him.

He drank the wine in one gulp, and with a solid kick, sent the wine jar flying hundreds of meters, landing plop into the central lake of the Spirit Valley villa area.

In the bedroom, he took out each defective Celestial Treasure and admired the Tao Patterns on them, these natural patterns having a peculiar Tao resonance.

If complete, these Tao Patterns could form a spell when triggered, requiring no long preparation, just a quick infusion of energy to initiate quickly.

The abilities of Celestial Treasures are myriad, catching people off guard, many spells are designed based on them yet are far inferior, essentially degraded versions.

"Source Power discovered, would you like to absorb it?" the accelerator prompted.

"Yes."

Absorbing the Source Power from the defective Celestial Treasures, Wang Xuan's mood improved as the Source Point value increased.

Three hundred points, five hundred points, four hundred points...

Two hundred points, one hundred points, two hundred points...

The Source Power contained in these defective Celestial Treasures ranged from about one hundred to four hundred points, even well-preserved ones only had about three to four hundred; over time, the Source Power might have partially depleted.

There were about twenty defective Celestial Treasures with particularly little Source Power, only a few dozen points, which was quite peculiar.

After spending several hours, he finally absorbed every bit of Source Power from these three hundred defective Celestial Treasures, not leaving a single unit.

"Accelerator," Wang Xuan summoned, and his personal panel appeared in his mind.

Name: Wang Xuan

Age: Twenty-four

Height: 1.95 meters

Weight: 160 kilograms

Realm: Peak of Innate

Cultivation Skills: Mixed Element Martial Scripture Human Immortal Chapter Second Layer Limit, Divine Elephant Golden Bell Shield Human Immortal Chapter Second Layer Limit, Heart and Spirit Demon Scripture Second Layer Introduction, Overlord Saber Limit, Life Generating Technique Body Refining Chapter Limit, Mixed Element Stance Limit...

Source Points: Seventy-five thousand three hundred

Looking at the Source Points, from twelve thousand before to seventy-five thousand now, an increase of sixty-three thousand points, this number is enormous, quite a harvest.

From this perspective, the lowest-level defective Celestial Treasures, on average, had residual Source Power that could be converted into two hundred points of Source Value, not high, yet still part of their original complete state.

A complete Celestial Treasure is worth several dozen times that of a defective one, in terms of cost-effectiveness, the value of defective ones is truly too high for Wang Xuan.

Tossing the now useless defective Celestial Treasures into the storage space, Wang Xuan stretched and stood up, in a really good mood.

Heart and Spirit Demon Scripture, Mixed Element Martial Scripture, and Divine Elephant Golden Bell Shield, in his estimation, still require about eighty thousand Source Points combined.

However, with his physique having absorbed Celestial Dew and Celestial Fate Source, the consumption of Source Points during cultivation should be less than before.

These seventy-five thousand plus Source Points should be enough for him to cultivate to the peak of the Vajra Realm.

"Every time I encounter a Sword Cultivator from Celestial Sword Mountain, I tend to have some mishaps, yet afterward I always gain considerable Source Points, it's a blessing in disguise.

Really can't tell if Celestial Sword Mountain is my jinx or my golden benefactor," he mused.

Most of the Celestial Sword Mountain cultivators he knew were proud, suave, believing in breaking all spells with one sword, acting according to their own preferences, simply and directly.

If slightly weaker, it's quite uncomfortable to interact with them, easily hurt by their sharp style.

Yet, if you achieve their recognition and grasp their way of doing things, you'll find them easy to get along with; their emotions are all on display, with no time for pretenses and disdain for indirect dealings.

Gai Feixian is like that, strong yet principled. Fang Wuji's Lei Tingzhi is also like that, challenging and worshipping the strong.

As for Zhao Hao, Wang Xuan didn't want to say anything, if there's a chance to kill him, he'd happily chop him down with one blow.

Thinking about it, Wang Xuan sent a message to his master, He Fang: "Master, during the Celestial Dew Rain, I smoothly entered the Innate Realm, practiced the Mixed Element Martial Scripture to the Human Immortal Chapter Second Layer, and stabilized it, saving a lot of effort.

That night I also luckily gained the Celestial Fate Source, in the following ten days, my cultivation level increased rapidly, I've already reached the peak of the Innate Realm.

Your disciple feels the cultivation is somewhat uncontrollable, seems like another breakthrough is imminent.

Dare I ask, Master, should I suppress the breakthrough, and settle for a while?"

He said this to find a perfect excuse for his rapid cultivation breakthrough, to cover up the presence of the accelerator, eliminating others' curiosity about the rapid growth of his cultivation.

Whether they believe it or not, Wang Xuan convinced himself, he attributed his fast cultivation growth to the Celestial Fate Source, believing he grew because of it.

Successfully deceived himadfself, it was truly seamless, Wang Xuan was relentless like this.

This message wasn't long in reaching He Fang, whose mouth twitched; from Wang Xuan's single inquiry, He Fang sensed a full display of bragging.

It seemed like Wang Xuan was telling him: I've already reached the peak of the Innate, might reach the Divine Treasure Realm tomorrow, is my cultivation speed fast? Quickly praise me.

And that line: "My cultivation is hard to contain, about to breakthrough," was akin to strutting around proudly.

Were He Fang's thoughts known to Wang Xuan, he would feel wronged, as he truly didn't think that way.

For his words were all the truth indeed.
