Chapter 5087 Yao Linger
Long Chen smiled slightly and said, “Wealth and riches come with risks. Life is a gamble; until the very end, no one knows who wins and who loses.”
With that, Long Chen exaggeratedly counted out five hundred Sage King Pills and handed them to the elder. After counting the pills and confirming the amount, the elder said, “Please, go ahead. Remember, any destined person can only pick one. If you get greedy, your destiny will come to an end, and you will end up with nothing.”
Long Chen chuckled inwardly. This elder’s acting skills were quite impressive.
Long Chen approached the Great Desolate Halberd first, then the Ten Worlds Diagram. Finally, he walked up to the cauldron, putting on an act. “You give me the strongest reaction. If our destinies align, then come with me!”
Long Chen placed his hand on the cauldron. At first, it didn’t react, causing countless people to shake their heads derisively
However, the cauldron soon quivered slightly. Its runes flickered, dimmed, and then flashed brightly, startling everyone.
“There is a resonance? For real?”
“Heavens, the item-spirit has been awakened from nirvana!” exclaimed the elder. “For tens of thousands of years, I have roamed the nine heavens and ten lands in hopes of finding this destined person! I finally lived up to my master’s final wishes. Master, do you see? Your apprentice has done it! You can rest in peace below the yellow springs!”
The elder looked up to the sky, tears streaking his face. Long Chen almost burst into laughter; the elder\'s acting was so over-the-top. All Long Chen had done was use some flame energy to activate the runes. Wasn’t the elder worried about being exposed?
Long Chen had used his flame energy to activate those runes, creating the illusion that the cauldron had come alive. The crowd erupted in startled cries. He then waved his hand, causing the cauldron to float above his head. It revolved with endless flames dancing around it.
“Alright, that’s enough! Put it away, or they will notice something!” whispered the elder hastily.
When Long Chen put the cauldron away, the elder immediately shouted, “To make it accept you as master so quickly, how shocking! Congratulations!”
“Thank you!” Long Chen cupped his fists excitedly.
This excitement was genuine. Long Chen was truly thrilled because the Earth Cauldron had just revealed the purpose of this duplicate.
“Everyone, one of the three divine items has found its master. Do you want to see if you have a destiny with the remaining items? For just twenty-eight Sage King Pills, you can test your fate. If you are destined, you can claim the items directly!” the elder shouted.
Those who had witnessed Long Chen acquire the Earth Cauldron immediately rushed forward. Twenty-eight Sage King Pills for a chance to test their destiny was a bargain, and the elder quickly became busy collecting money, casting Long Chen a grateful glance.
This was something Long Chen had taught him. The elder was well aware that the item-spirits were dead, making the chance of selling these duplicates extremely low. He had also been conned into buying these items and had failed to con others in return.
Long Chen’s plan, however, opened his eyes to the world. Twenty-eight Sage King Pills per person quickly piled up. There were hundreds of people lining up, signifying that the elder would at least make a few thousand Sage King Pills. Most importantly, he would get to keep the divine items. Since the item-spirits were already dead, who would actually buy them?
Long Chen laughed and walked away with Feng You and the others. The Earth Cauldron was speechless.
“Not bad. After getting such a huge advantage, you even had him thank you.”
“It’s called a win-win situation. I profited, and so did he,” Long Chen chuckled.
At that moment, a maiden appeared in the primal chaos space. She was Ling-er, the Demon Moon Furnace Long Chen had obtained in the mortal world. He later renamed her Yao Linger[1] to distinguish her from Huo Linger and Lei Linger, making it more convenient.
In the mortal world, Yao Linger had helped him quite a bit, helping him refine quite a few pills at the start.
However, her growth was too slow, and she struggled to control a powerful pill furnace. Long Chen had her enter a state of hibernation while hoping to find an opportunity for her rebirth.
The Earth Cauldron was now using its own energy to guide Yao Linger’s spirit into the duplicate. Surrounded by divine light, she formed a bridge between herself and the cauldron.
“You really scored a huge advantage this time. Don’t underestimate it just because it is a duplicate. When it was first forged, it fought me for the world’s karmic luck,” said the Earth Cauldron.
“It could wrest away your karmic luck?” asked Long Chen.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
“To weaken us, someone secretly created twelve duplicates to siphon off the world’s karmic luck from us, slowing down our recovery. However, they were born from us, and when we entered slumber, their lives also came to an end. In this world, only I can awaken them and forge new spirits for them. You should know that when they were first forged, they were genuine Emperor weapons. So tell me, do you think you’ve profited this time or not?” the Earth Cauldron inquired.
“Damn, I really did profit,” Long Chen admitted, astonished by the revelation.
Unfortunately, transferring Yao Linger into the duplicate required using the Earth Cauldron’s energy to activate its runes, and it would take some time for her to fully adjust and control this duplicate.
However, Long Chen was in no rush. His mood was excellent, and the thought of Yao Linger awakening and gaining control of an Emperor weapon filled him with excitement. His confidence in tackling the Heavenly Flame Devil Domain grew even stronger.
“Scram!”
Just as Long Chen was immersed in his thoughts within the primal chaos space, a cold shout suddenly rang out in front of him.
