Chapter 869: Celestial Crystal

In the fourth space ring, there were only a few items, including Jian Wujie’s modest stash of Immortal Jade.

Though there were just 50 pieces, Wang Xiangchi felt they were more valuable than millions of Immortal Jade.

The other item was a transparent crystal, about the size of a millstone, radiating an intensely pure celestial energy.

Wang Xiangchi sensed it wasn’t ordinary, but he couldn’t quite figure out what it was.

“I’ll stop overthinking it. I’ll ask Mu Dai when she gets back,” Wang Xiangchi said, pulling out the jade slip Xu Fan had given him. He began reading his master’s words carefully, line by line.

He alternated between his master’s messages and his father’s notes, and soon found himself deeply moved once again.

Suddenly, he felt a gentle tap on his shoulder.

“You’re acting like a child who’s never left home, always on the verge of tears,” Mu Dai teased softly, wrapping her arms around his neck from behind.

Her warmth spread through his back and heart.

“Sometimes I think I might be the luckiest person alive.”

“With my master, my parents, my brothers and sisters, my students, and you—everything feels so perfect.”

“It’s like a dream sometimes, and I’m afraid I’ll wake up,” Wang Xiangchi said, holding Mu Dai’s hand, his voice filled with tenderness.

“Don’t overthink it. Let’s go home and focus on your training.

When you see your master again, he’ll see how hard you’ve worked. You haven’t let them down,” Mu Dai said gently.

“Alright~ When we get back, there’s something I’d like you to take a look at,” Wang Xiangchi said with a smile.

“Sure, we’ll talk about it at home~”

In the secret realm of celestial spirits, Mu Dai stared at the millstone-sized celestial crystal, her mouth forming a perfect ‘O’ in shock.

“Your student gave you this?!” she asked, stunned.

“Yes, both of my disciples are quite remarkable,” Wang Xiangchi replied, noticing how precious the item seemed from Mu Dai’s reaction.

“This is a celestial crystal!!”

“Is it really that valuable? How much Immortal Jade is it worth?” Wang Xiangchi asked, curious.

“At least ten million Immortal Jade. That’s about the total wealth of an average Golden Immortal,” Mu Dai explained, running her fingers over the crystal, which glowed with pure celestial energy.

“What kind of disciple do you have, giving such an extravagant gift?” Mu Dai marveled.

“They’re good disciples, just blessed with a lot of opportunities,” Wang Xiangchi said, his heart trembling at the thought. He hadn’t expected such a generous gift from his student. And then there was the message in the jade slip from the space ring.

“Master, I know this item might be valuable, but compared to the bond between you and Mistress, it’s nothing.

Consider it a gift from your disciple to the Mistress he hasn’t yet met. Don’t hesitate, Master—I have more of these.”

Wang Xiangchi remembered the words in the jade slip and recalled that moment long ago.

His master had held the jade gourd, resisting the temptation to keep it before finally putting it back.

“This is a gift from my disciple to his Mistress. Please accept it,” Wang Xiangchi said, doing his best to stay composed.

“Just like that, you gave it to me? You know this is worth ten million Immortal Jade,” Mu Dai said to Wang Xiangchi, her bright eyes and beautiful face making him feel a bit restless.

Wang Xiangchi stepped in front of Mu Dai and gently cupped her face in his hands.

“Ten million Immortal Jade can’t compare to my love for you~”

In that intimate moment, surrounded by a cozy atmosphere, they naturally began to feel warmth for each other.

At that moment, the ten million worth of Celestial Crystal became insignificant.

The next day, they finally calmed down as they gazed at the precious Celestial Crystal.

“Husband, let’s use this Celestial Crystal to help you cultivate the supreme swordsmanship body; this will increase your chances of advancing to the Great Luo,” Mu Dai said.

“My wife, this Celestial Crystal is a gift for you, so there’s no need to spend it on me,” Wang Xiangchi replied.

“As for reaching the Great Luo Saint realm, with my master here, I am confident.”

Mu Dai clearly displayed a skeptical expression, as if to say he was boasting.

“You won’t understand now; you’ll see once we meet Master later.”

“You’ve always wanted the treasure of the Tian Ge Merchant Association, the Wind Thunder Li Hen Bottle, right? It’s only two hundred thousand Immortal Jade; we can go get it right away.”

“And don’t forget the Guangyu Fairy Skirt, Thunder Fairy Veil, Tianxing Thunder Beast, and Wind Thunder Immortal Boat.”

With each word Wang Xiangchi spoke, Mu Dai’s heart skipped a beat.

“Combined, they’re less than five hundred thousand Immortal Jade. For these years, I’ve been raising you, and now it’s time for me to repay my wife,” Wang Xiangchi said boldly.

At that moment, he suddenly realized how exhilarating it felt to lavish Immortal Jade.

“Isn’t that a bit wasteful?” Mu Dai said shyly.

“What’s wasteful about it? It’s only right to buy things for my wife,” Wang Xiangchi said as he took Mu Dai’s hand and walked outside.

He suddenly felt a sense of relief and joy, much like the farcical stories his master used to tell.

Thinking of this, the corners of Wang Xiangchi’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up, though sadly there were no villains around.

He owed all of this to his good disciple.

At that moment, Han Feiyu, who was on a mission in the South Mountain Realm, suddenly sneezed.

This caused the Great Ascension Stage Beast that had just been trapped in their sword formation to break free and escape.

“Who’s thinking of me? Is my gift arriving?” Han Feiyu said as he watched the Great Ascension Stage beast flee into the distance.

Let it escape; it couldn’t run far because it was in the direction of his junior brother, Jian Wujie.

At that moment, a sword qi shot into the sky from the horizon.

A Giant Sword appeared in the sky, slicing directly toward the fleeing Great Ascension Stage spirit beast.

Moments later, Jian Wujie flew back holding a beast resembling a lion.

“Brother, treat me to a meal; I’ve done your job,” Jian Wujie said with a grin.

“It’s just a meal; no problem~” Han Feiyu replied casually.

“Let’s go to the Delicacy Fairy Pavilion~” Jian Wujie said mischievously.

“No way, I only have one quota a year, and bringing you along wouldn’t be enough for everything I want to eat,” Han Feiyu refused.

He had his own troubles, such as many special items he couldn’t buy with Immortal Jade due to quota restrictions.

“Brother has already made the promise; you can’t go back on that,” Jian Wujie asserted firmly, determined to have that meal.

Just then, both of their communication artifacts lit up at the same time.

“An urgent mission! Let’s see what the reward is,” Han Feiyu said as he took out the communication artifact.

“In the newly discovered little middle thousand world, there’s a Tianyun Beast! The sect has issued a mission to capture the Tianyun Beast, and the reward is the Grand Elder’s ten days of personal instruction and enlightenment!!”

Both of them were filled with excitement upon reading the message.

After all, the highest level reward for sect missions is the Grand Elder’s exclusive teachings.

Few disciples in the sect received this reward; only a handful of them did.

Yet, the benefits were astonishing. One relatively average disciple, after receiving the Grand Elder’s five days of personal instruction, had risen into the top 100 of the sect within a century.
