Stronger from Earth-Chapter 87: Choices

Qingfeng Pavilion, this place with a nice view is close to a dozen villas, so there are often people sitting idle here.

He the Sixth sat in front of Wang Xuan, the elder looked at the villa not far away shrouded in clouds and mist, where his female disciple Lin Xiyue temporarily resided.

So many days have passed, Lin Xiyue hasn’t come out once, let alone seen anyone, even embracing the wind and dew no longer happens.

After cultivating immortality for many years, she has truly become an ice block, cold and clear.

Although his cultivation level is so high, he is still helpless in matters like this; Lin Xiyue’s future path depends on herself.

"Wang Xuan, what do you think of those youths?" He the Sixth asked a question, which made Wang Xuan unsure of what attitude to take in response.

Although those young boys and girls were immature and defeated by him, Wang Xuan would not dismiss them as insignificant or lacking in excellence.

In fact, those young boys and girls are very outstanding, considered prodigies among their peers. At least in his 24 years of life, before meeting He the Sixth, he hadn’t encountered many such geniuses.

Seventeen or eighteen-year-olds at the Blood Exchange Realm, sixteen or seventeen-year-olds at the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, not many like them can be found in Yuzhang City.

"I’m 24 years old this year, having struggled outside for five or six years, experiencing many intrigues and life-and-death battles. Without these experiences, I would not be much better than these youths.

When I was eighteen, I was far less capable than they are, which I must admit. It is only right that I can defeat them now.

If these boys and girls experience more over the next five or six years, both their mentality and cultivation level will greatly improve. By the time they are twenty-four, I would be far inferior to them now.

In summary, they are very outstanding young people. For me, a twenty-four-year-old man, to compete with them is just taking advantage of age—it’s like bullying them."

He the Sixth was a bit surprised by Wang Xuan’s statement. He thought that after defeating these disciples of the mountain gate, Wang Xuan would have some pride, looking down on those youths.

As it turns out, Wang Xuan is very aware of his advantages and shortcomings, not arrogant or complacent, but rather humble.

"Pride brings loss, humility receives benefit. This attitude is correct. You may have started a bit late, but if you continue this way, you’ll soon catch up with your peers and stand on the same starting line as Qingniu and the others."

He the Sixth was quite satisfied with Wang Xuan, with a wave of his hand, he presented a hundred broken celestial treasures, some shattered or incomplete, floating around Wang Xuan.

"Choose yourself, limited to three pieces, among them are broken True Grade Celestial Treasures, as well as Celestial and Earth Grade, but most are Earth Grade Celestial Treasures."

As a Star Lord at the True Immortal Second Realm, who can traverse the cosmos and control the life and death of billions, He the Sixth possesses innumerable treasures, even one hair plucked would be unimaginable wealth for Wang Xuan.

He didn’t give fixed things to Wang Xuan, instead, he relied on Wang Xuan’s luck and insight; the quality of what he finally obtained depended on his choices.

If his insight is lacking and he gets three inferior pieces, they won’t even be worth a tenth of a complete celestial treasure. However, if luck favors him and he gets a shard of a True Grade Celestial Treasure, its value far surpasses that of one or two complete celestial treasures.

A hundred broken celestial treasures floated around him, and Wang Xuan was left speechless with amazement. Even though they’re broken and incomplete, such numerous celestial treasures amounted to an unimaginable wealth.

"..." Wang Xuan looked at these broken celestial treasures, wanting to ask He the Sixth: Are you a worm in my stomach? Why are you giving me the best space to perform?

Who could be more accurate in choosing celestial treasures than him? Perhaps the material won’t be the best, but the Source Power value will surely be the highest.

The accelerator kept prompting, the noise in his mind was incessant, but Wang Xuan felt only joy, not annoyance.

With so many treasure fragments, how much Source Power value could be absorbed!

"If I touch each one and stealthily absorb their Source Power to gain Source Power value, would Elder He notice?"

Wang Xuan suddenly thought of this issue. The exotic energy used by Su Xiaowei to summon the Yellow Turban Warriors could be converted into Source Power value, a power of the Divine Path known to True Immortals.

Similarly, the Source Power within celestial treasures, True Immortal characters should be able to perceive it; they have the capability.

Wang Xuan touched one broken treasure after another, swords, knives, shears, towers, buildings, tripods, bells, belts, pendants, jade tokens, combat boots, battle armor, etc., of various forms.

"Source Power detected, absorb? Up to 300 Source Power points may be absorbed."

"Source Power detected, absorb? Up to 800 Source Power points may be absorbed."

"Source Power detected, absorb? Up to 80 Source Power points may be absorbed."

"Source Power detected, absorb? Up to 500 Source Power points may be absorbed."

...

Wang Xuan picked among them without closely examining them, and He the Sixth watched Wang Xuan choose with great interest. It was now truly a matter of luck; he was quite eager to see how Wang Xuan’s luck would play out.

Once Wang Xuan finished selecting, he would then point out one True Grade and Celestial Grade broken celestial treasures after another. Once Wang Xuan realized he missed out on such treasures, would he jump in frustration?

Perhaps he would; such a regretful scene seemed quite amusing.

He the Sixth’s thoughts, naturally Wang Xuan was unaware of. If he knew, he would have laughed because the other side would surely be disappointed.

"Source Power detected, absorb? Up to 5,000 Source Power points may be absorbed."

"Source Power detected, absorb? Up to 2 points may be absorbed."

"Source Power detected, absorb? Up to 1 point may be absorbed."

...

After examining each of the hundreds of celestial treasures, Wang Xuan memorized those with the highest Source Power values, contemplating which to choose.

After all, there were only three opportunities.

A treasure tower with 5,000 Source Power, missing the top three floors; a bronze tripod with 20,000 Source Power, left with only one leg and a small segment of the body; a knife with 10,000 Source Power, but only the handle.

Of these three treasures, the most complete was the treasure tower, yet Wang Xuan estimated it was merely a high-grade Earth Grade, whereas the broken bronze tripod and knife handle were likely Celestial Grade celestial treasures.

For the most perfect appearance, there were thirty to fifty among the hundreds, but their Source Power did not reach 4,000, most were below 1,000, undoubtedly Earth Grade.

Oddly, the metallic sphere with only one Source Power value puzzled Wang Xuan. Among these treasures, it seemed complete except for a crack, yet it only had one unit of Source Power value, clearly unusual.

But no matter how peculiar, he could only absorb one unit of Source Power value, rendering it worthless to him, far less than the treasure tower with 5,000 Source Power.

"Have you decided?" He the Sixth exhaled comfortably with a cigarette, asking with a smile.

Wang Xuan hesitated internally, first taking the bronze tripod and knife handle with the highest Source Power values before him, causing He the Sixth to widen his eyes in surprise.

How did this kid find them? Among the broken celestial treasures, he only placed two Celestial Grade, and Wang Xuan just happened to find them.

However, luckily, the damaged True Grade celestial treasure wasn’t found.

He the Sixth glanced at the metal sphere, Wang Xuan only touched it once then left it alone, obviously not valuing it.
