Chương 37: Critical Hit! The Divine Wind Set!

The Divine Wind Set!

No matter what thoughts Lin Ke'er had originally harbored, at the moment the high-grade magic tool was revealed, all her thoughts evaporated. This was a high-grade magic tool. Its value was immeasurable. Even a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator might not be able to afford such a treasure. Take the leader of her herb-gathering team, for example. She only wielded a middle-grade magic tool. Why was Ye Chen so wealthy? And more importantly, why was he so generous? Lin Ke'er truly couldn't comprehend it.

From her vantage point, she saw Lu Jing already wrapping her arms around Ye Chen, overjoyed beyond measure. She clung to him tightly, pressing against him. Without a doubt, the high-grade magic tool had far exceeded Lu Jing's expectations. It was an unimaginable delight. Lu Jing was never fond of battle, but the cultivation world was indeed dangerous. With this high-grade magic tool at her side, her combat power would increase by more than thirty percent.

A high-grade magic tool, starting at three middle-grade spiritual stones, was more than enough to send Lu Jing into a state of euphoria. Even though she was still holding Ye Chen, she couldn't help but jump with joy. Of course, it could also be that Lu Jing was using her happiness to show Ye Chen some extra affection. But, without a doubt, Ye Chen felt great. Not just physically. But more so emotionally. For in his mind, the system's notification had already sounded.

"Gift successful!"

"The gift is the high-grade magic tool, Clear Wind Sword."

"Feedback in progress…."

"Tenfold feedback. Reward: the top-grade magic tool, Divine Wind Sword."

"Detected that the gift you presented is of immense significance to the recipient, far exceeding their expectations. This has caused a great fluctuation in their heart, triggering a critical hit reward!"

"Rewards include the top-grade magic robe, Divine Wind Robe; the top-grade magic shoes, Divine Wind Shoes; the top-grade magic hat, Divine Wind Hat."

"Detected that the host already possesses storage equipment. The physical rewards will be directly deposited into the storage equipment and can be extracted at any time…." Top-grade magic tool. And not just a weapon, but a complete set. This was unbelievable luck! A top-grade magic tool demanded exceptional materials, exquisite craftsmanship, and intricate formations. Rare as they were, their price was astronomical.

For instance, a top-grade weapon-type magic tool would typically cost at least ten middle-grade spiritual stones or more. As for items like magic robes, hats, and shoes, they were even more expensive. These items had to be worn, meaning they couldn't be too rigid. They required soft materials, but still needed to have formations engraved on them. This combination of high material costs and the difficulty of crafting led to their prices soaring even higher.

A standard magic robe would start at a middle-grade spiritual stone. But a top-grade magic robe? It would cost at least thirty or forty middle-grade spiritual stones. Add to that the shoes, hat, and other components. And from the look of it, this appeared to be a complete set. The total value was likely equivalent to one high-grade spiritual stone. One ordinary high-grade magic tool had just been traded for a full set of top-tier top-grade magic tools. This was an unbelievable profit.

No wonder Ye Chen was smiling so brightly. Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings.... In the courtyard, only two of the three were overjoyed. Lin Ke'er was seething with envy and jealousy to the point of grinding her teeth. How wonderful it would be if she could possess the Clear Wind Sword! Watching Ye Chen bask in his happiness, Lin Ke'er's heart was filled with disdain. But at the same time, her thoughts began to shift.

If Ye Chen could afford a high-grade magic tool, who knew what else he might have in the future? A cultivator who could so generously give away such priceless treasures, why should she let Lu Jing take him without a fight? Ye Chen liked to take advantage of women, didn't he? Though she might not be as grand as Lu Jing, Lin Ke'er was certain that she was the better fit, more perfect even, in her own way. She only needed to take the plunge. Then what would Lu Jing's place be?

Lin Ke'er fixed her gaze on Ye Chen, her resolve hardening. She swore she would reclaim everything she had lost by her own hand!

"Fellow Daoist Ye, why don't you rest in the room for a while. …" At that moment, Lu Jing held the Clear Wind Sword, her gaze so intense it seemed as though it could drip with passion. Her voice, laced with a subtle charm, further enhanced the allure. Coupled with her flawless figure, any man would find it nearly impossible to resist. However, as alluring as the woman was, what could compare to the excitement of the top-grade magic tool?

It was clear that Ye Chen was far more focused on the rewards from the system's storage space. He longed to take a look at the items immediately and figure out their functions. Thus, Ye Chen shook his head, politely declining.

"Perhaps next time. My father came by and gave me some spells, along with a bunch of other miscellaneous things. I need to tidy up a bit." As his words fell, Ye Chen subtly adjusted his pants before turning to leave. Upon hearing Ye Chen's explanation, the two women exchanged a knowing glance, their faces lighting up with understanding. No wonder Ye Chen had suddenly produced a high-grade magic tool. It was because his father had arrived!

They had heard that Ye Chen's father was the second strongest in the Ye family, responsible for the family's trade and transportation. There was no doubt that the profits from this were considerable. Ye Chen's father must have gifted him other treasures too. Lu Jing's heartbeat quickened once again. Meanwhile, Lin Ke'er recalled the Dragon Elephant Fist Ye Chen had given her previously, her hand tightening into a fist. This time, she absolutely could not let him slip away.

Ye Chen and all his treasures belonged to her. With a lingering glance at the Clear Wind Sword in Lu Jing's hands, Lin Ke'er turned and headed back to her room. Lu Jing, too, had noticed the look Lin Ke'er cast, and sighed inwardly. She no longer had the desire to flaunt her gift. She would rather Lin Ke'er remained completely unaware of Ye Chen's true value. That way, Lin Ke'er would abandon him entirely. Then, there would be no one to compete with her.

Unfortunately, Ye Chen had chosen to gift it to her, and Lin Ke'er had seen it with her own eyes. Now, Lu Jing knew that this woman would never give up on him. So… she would have to put in even more effort to keep Ye Chen by her side.... Ye Chen paid no attention to what the two women thought. As soon as he returned to his room, he eagerly retrieved the full set of top-grade magic tools from his storage ring. Divine Wind Sword, Divine Wind Robe, Divine Wind Shoes, Divine Wind Hat.

Divine Wind Sword: Boundlessly sharp, capable of cutting through all things. The blade is imbued with wind-type spirit qi, light and silent. It carries a spell, the Divine Wind Break, able to shatter enemy defensive spells. Divine Wind Robe: Made from the finest Heavenly Spirit Silkworm silk, offering excellent defense. It carries a Divine Wind Shield, which automatically activates when the wearer is attacked, protecting against water, dust, and includes an illusion array that can alter the wearer's shape and aura.

Divine Wind Hat: Also crafted from Heavenly Spirit Silkworm silk, offering superior defense. It contains a Heart-Cleansing Spell, safeguarding the wearer's spiritual consciousness. It carries an illusion array that can change the wearer's appearance. Divine Wind Shoes: Made from the finest Heavenly Spirit Silkworm silk, providing excellent defense. They are light as air, and their soles contain a Cleansing Wind technique, enabling silent, rapid movement. When activated, speed is greatly increased!

Once the entire set of top-grade spiritual items was donned, the elements complemented each other perfectly, and the body was enveloped in a light and ethereal aura. Ignoring wind resistance, silent and swift, overall speed was increased by thirty percent. Looking at the system's description, Ye Chen was absolutely thrilled. This effect, was it not terrifyingly powerful? With this entire set, his combat ability would likely double. The system was truly incredible.

The only regret Ye Chen had was that the rewards previously granted by the system could not trigger further rewards. Otherwise, he could simply give the Divine Wind set away again. An infinite loop. Who knew? He might even end up with a set of immortal tools in the end.
