Chapter 763 - 863: Substitute Wooden Man
Ye Tianfan shook his head upon hearing this; in this lifetime, he would never use top-grade spirit stones for recharging.Moreover, not only in this lifetime but even in the next, it wouldn't be possible. Poverty forces me to be frugal.
"Additionally, this magical treasure has another most alluring feature: when you use Immortal Techniques, the required spiritual energy is drawn directly from this treasure and does not pass through your meridians. Therefore, if you wish to use an Immortal Technique that exceeds your spiritual power, using this treasure will not harm your meridians," the Primordial Master continued to explain.
Upon hearing this feature, Ye Tianfan immediately decided that no matter what, he had to obtain this magical treasure, even if it meant forgoing the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Pill.
Because Ye Tianfan had some moves that required a large amount of spiritual power, often exceeding the total amount he possessed. Therefore, he would frequently choose to take elixirs while using Immortal Techniques. The swift rushing of spiritual power through his meridians resulted in damage to them, causing Ye Tianfan considerable pain, even if not severe harm.
With this magical treasure, when Ye Tianfan uses those intensive spiritual power moves again, he won't feel the pain in his meridians, as the spiritual power is directly drawn from the treasure and not from his body, sparing his meridians from any discomfort.
Thinking of this, Ye Tianfan immediately said to the Primordial Master, "Sect Leader, I want this magical treasure."
The Primordial Master smiled upon hearing Ye Tianfan's words and then said, "This magical treasure was meant for you. You will face a great danger soon. Though I mentioned it to your master, sending you to a base where you could resolve problems with your abilities, the process will be full of challenges. I can't assure you there wouldn't be any unexpected events. There might be a chance that a creature, driven by interest, might patrol the base you're inspecting, and if you happen to be sneaking into the base at that moment, then you're just out of luck."
Ye Tianfan nodded. Whenever a mission is involved, the unexpected is always a possibility. This could occur in myriad ways; even a mosquito bite could leave Ye Tianfan unconscious and captured during a mission. It's just a matter of likelihood.
"For the greater good, it's a duty I cannot shirk," Ye Tianfan said resolutely. Of course, Ye Tianfan would never admit that he agreed because of the magical treasure.
"Oh, right, there are also two other magical treasures," the Primordial Master seemed to remember something and then said.
"What? There's more?" At this moment, Ye Tianfan was very surprised. He hadn't expected there'd be more treasures to be gifted to him. Were they going to arm him to the teeth?
Ye Tianfan looked expectantly at the Primordial Master, pondering in his mind what features the next magical treasure might have. Could it possibly possess the Power of Laws?
However, Ye Tianfan only thought as much because he knew that a magical treasure with the Power of Laws couldn't possibly be given to him, or rather, there simply wasn't any spare such treasure available.
"Substitute Wooden Man," the Primordial Master said to Ye Tianfan.
"Substitute Wooden Man?" Ye Tianfan was somewhat puzzled. What kind of treasure is that? Could it possibly substitute for him as the name suggests?
"Yes, it's the Substitute Wooden Man. It only has one function: once you bind with it, it will substitute for you to take any fatal damage when you are in a critical situation. Moreover, it will transfer all the damage you've already sustained to its body, meaning this treasure allows you to become fully restored when you're about to receive fatal damage," the Primordial Master explained to Ye Tianfan.
Ye Tianfan gasped upon hearing this. It was practically a second life. If he had two or three more Substitute Wooden Men, he'd basically have two or three extra lives!
However, Ye Tianfan quickly thought that it would be better to give this treasure to the Primordial Master because its value would be maximized with him. The Primordial Master was already incredibly strong, and with an extra life, he'd become even more formidable, fully capable of sacrificing himself to defeat the opponent.
Also, given the Primordial Master's capabilities, it was extremely difficult for him to lose even one life, let alone a second. It was practically a killing tool on the battlefield.
So Ye Tianfan suppressed his own desire and told the Primordial Master, "Sect Leader, this Substitute Wooden Man would be better used by you, as it is equivalent to having a second life. If you use this treasure, it would inflict greater harm on the enemy, so it should be given to you."
The Primordial Master felt very gratified upon hearing Ye Tianfan's words, then smiled and said to him, "You are overestimating the ability of this treasure. It can only help a cultivator below the Baihui stage to recover and transfer injuries. For those of us at the Ten Directions stage, especially for someone at my peak Ten Directions stage, it is of no use, also no need to worry about us. We have similar treasures down here at the Ten Directions stage."
Ye Tianfan nodded upon hearing this. Since the Primordial Master already had such treasures, he wouldn't have to worry and could freely handle this treasure.
However, Ye Tianfan still felt it would be better not to need such a treasure, keeping it unused if possible.
Because once this treasure was used, it meant he was in great danger, the kind that threatened his life. So it'd be best if it were never used, which indicated at least he remained safe throughout.
Ideally, he'd never need to use the treasure, even up to the Baihui stage.
Rather let it expire than use it.
"Sect Leader, what's the last magical treasure?" Ye Tianfan was curious about what the last treasure could be. Good things usually appear last, and those reserved by the Primordial Master for last discussion must be something extraordinary, hence Ye Tianfan's curiosity.
"The last magical treasure!" The Primordial Master replied with a smile and continued, "The last magical treasure isn't here, nor can I bring it. You must come with me to see, as this treasure can only recognize one master, and only then can it be collected. Otherwise, it will remain there indefinitely."
