Cultivation Simulator: Shocking the Academy-Chapter 557 - 410: The True Immortal Family Magical Treasure

Wind Grasshopper heard their replies and revealed a satisfied smile. He knew he had not misjudged them; though these young ones had shallow cultivation, their courage and determination were admirable. He believed that as long as they joined forces, they could overcome any difficulty!

Luo Chen's eyes were firm, staring straight at Wind Grasshopper without any sign of retreat. He knew well he had little bargaining power, but in facing the Dragon Monarch, he still wanted to strive for some treasures for future needs. This quiet tenacity surprised Ouyang Qian beside him.

Wind Grasshopper's eyes showed a trace of appreciation. Suddenly, he smiled, flicking his sleeve, causing ripples in the air. "Good, you have courage," he said slowly, "So, what do you want?"

Luo Chen answered without hesitation, "A cultivation technique from the Immortal Family, a technique for concealing one's form, the weak point information of the Two-headed Snake, and a magical treasure." Though his voice was not loud, every word was clear and strong, revealing undeniable resolve.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Qian was momentarily stunned, then joy filled her eyes. She originally came to Liu Jing just for Young Master Tianlan's immortal techniques, but now, this Dragon Monarch seemed more reliable. The Dragon Palace had countless treasures, and Wind Grasshopper, as the heir of the East Sea Dragon King, had surely more precious immortal techniques at his disposal.

Wind Grasshopper looked at Luo Chen thoughtfully and said slowly, "The Immortal Family's cultivation technique is extraordinary and requires at least soul power of the Nascent Soul Realm as a foundation for cultivation. Your current level..." He did not continue, but the meaning was clear. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Luo Chen was not discouraged; he raised his head boldly and said, "Though the Nascent Soul Stage is far beyond reach, Cold Rain is not one to aim too high. However, the Eastern Realm's inheritance has dwindled, and there's no other immortal technique to be found. If we don't take one this time, I'm afraid there'll be no chance to return to the Demon King's Grotto Heaven. Since Dragon Monarch is seeking us, why not fulfill Cold Rain's wish?"

Hearing this, Wind Grasshopper fell silent for a moment, then nodded: "Alright, since you're so insistent, I'll fulfill you. But remember, the cultivation technique is no joke; be careful when cultivating." With that, he flipped his palm, and an ancient manuscript appeared in his hand, "Take this 'Cloud Sea Immortal Trace' then."

Luo Chen accepted the manuscript with excitement. He knew the worth of this manuscript far exceeded that of the Nine Heavens Monarch. Immediately, he bowed deeply: "Thank you, Dragon Monarch, for your generous gift!"

Wind Grasshopper waved his hand to signal no need for formalities and continued: "As for the technique to conceal form and the Two-headed Snake's weak point information, I'll teach you later. As for the magical treasure..." He mused briefly and took a transparent pearl from his sleeve, "This 'Water-Repelling Pearl' can let you walk freely in water without any hindrance, and consider it the magical treasure gifted to you."

Ouyang Qian looked at the manuscript in Luo Chen's hand and the Water-Repelling Pearl with envy. She knew she had benefited from Luo Chen's presence this time. However, she did not feel jealous and was genuinely happy for Luo Chen. After all, reaching this point was due to their mutual trust and support.

Luo Chen and Ouyang Qian stood side by side, facing Wind Grasshopper's scrutiny. Luo Chen defended his stance with firm arguments, while Ouyang Qian, next to him, seemed about to speak but chose silence in the end. Her eyes showed complex emotions, as if weighing something.

Wind Grasshopper's gaze was sharp; in this brief silence, he observed keenly, seemingly noticing the subtle relationship between them. He pondered internally but displayed a slight smile on his face. Then he stood up slowly, breaking the short stalemate, "Alright, come with me then."

The three left the pavilion, with Luo Chen and Ouyang Qian following Wind Grasshopper deeper into the Dragon Palace. Ouyang Qian was uncharacteristically quiet throughout, much unlike her usual self, making Luo Chen feel a bit unsettled. He glanced at her sideways and saw her serious expression, as if contemplating something important.

Inside the Dragon Palace, there was silence, with only the splendid coral and treasure pearl sparkling charmingly under the light. However, this magnificent scene could not hide the cold and solitude deep within the Dragon Palace. Luo Chen felt awe at the wealth of the Dragon Palace as he walked and observed. Even Ouyang Qian, from a prestigious family, glanced frequently, clearly stunned by the opulence here.
