Chapter 1482: Chapter 585: An Unexpected Surprise, Profiting from the Refinement Grandmaster [Request Subscription]_2

Zhou Chun, upon hearing this, immediately began with lavish praise: "Senior Yan Cang, your discernment is remarkable. I am aware of my low cultivation level, and in any other place, I fear I wouldn’t even qualify to meet with a Refinement Grandmaster like yourself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly shifted his tone: "However, since I have been fortunate to meet with Senior Yan Cang and have a chance to help you with a small task, I naturally hope to ask for your assistance in refining a few defensive treasures!"

"From the way you speak, young friend, it seems you think the one refining opportunity I promised before is not enough?"

"How about this; I will grant you two more refining opportunities, making it a total of three. What do you think, young friend?"

Yan Cang True Person was straightforward and immediately increased the refining opportunities as per Zhou Chun’s request.

For him, as long as he could escape, refining once or refining three times was all the same.

It’s just a bit more effort!

Zhou Chun, seeing him agree so easily, was momentarily stunned and pondered whether to ask for one or two more refining opportunities.

But after thinking it over, Zhou Chun felt it would be wise to stop there.

Thus, he sincerely praised: "Senior Yan Cang, your righteousness commands my respect!"

Then he continued: "However, I would like to request that one of those refining opportunities be exchanged for you to repair this somewhat damaged high-grade magical treasure that I have. Would that be possible?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Cang True Person immediately replied: "Repairing a high-grade magical treasure is difficult, and I dare not guarantee it. If it cannot be repaired, I can still exchange it for a refining opportunity!"

"In that case, I thank you in advance, senior!"

Zhou Chun’s face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

Finally, with a serious expression, he looked toward the location of Yan Cang True Person and said: "Senior Yan Cang, please pardon me for using a petty heart to gauge a noble man’s intentions. There’s a vast difference in our cultivation levels, and if you were to go back on your word after escaping, I would have no recourse. Therefore, I would like to ask you for a guarantee that I can trust!"

"A guarantee you can trust? Are you asking me to make a vow?"

Yan Cang True Person’s tone revealed neither joy nor anger as he spoke.

The vow of the Dao Heart is indeed very binding, but in reality, its constraints are not as strong on a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator as they are on a Golden Core Stage cultivator.

For example, Yan Cang True Person can certainly vow to agree to Zhou Chun’s conditions and then fulfill those conditions according to the vow.

But this does not guarantee that he won’t later kill Zhou Chun and take back all the treasures.

Even if Zhou Chun had him add terms that prevent retaliation, he could still leverage his influence to use others against Zhou Chun without violating the vow.

Zhou Chun understood these situations in his heart as well.

If he were a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, Yan Cang True Person might not dare to break his word, even without a vow. Otherwise, his retaliation would surely make the other party regret it, ruining his reputation among fellow cultivators of the same level.

But he is currently just a Golden Core Stage cultivator, and even if Yan Cang True Person reneges, it wouldn’t hurt him a bit even if Zhou Chun spread the news.

That’s why Zhou Chun dared not completely trust the vow of the Dao Heart.

He had another option, one with more practical constraints.

He calmed his voice and explained: "So that Senior Yan Cang is aware, I have been fortunate enough to acquire a ghost cultivation legacy, from which I have learned a secret technique known as the ’Netherworld Soul Pact.’ As long as both parties place a portion of their divine soul’s true essence into the pact scroll, a binding contract can be formed under the Lord of the Netherworld’s witness, and any violator will suffer the punishment of the Lord of the Netherworld!"

"Oh, you actually grasp the secret technique ’Netherworld Soul Pact’? However, as far as I know, this ghost cultivation technique, which relies on the power of the Lord of the Netherworld, can only be practiced and used by ghost cultivators. Since you’re not a ghost cultivator, even if you grasp this technique, how will you communicate with the Netherworld’s will?"

Yan Cang True Person’s eyes slightly lifted within the black ice, surprised that Zhou Chun grasped such a secret technique binding to even Nascent Soul Stage True Persons.

But he seemed to have some understanding of the ghost cultivation path, immediately pointing out the key issue.

However, since Zhou Chun proposed this plan, he naturally had a solution.

He calmly explained: "Although I am not a ghost cultivator, I happen to have a ghost artifact that can assist in communicating with the Netherworld’s will. If I use the secret technique to mobilize it with my essence blood, I can manage to draw the attention of the Netherworld’s will, allowing the ’Netherworld Soul Pact’ to be inked!"

After speaking, he raised his hand and struck his waist storage pouch, taking out the ghost-faced token that recorded the ghost cultivation legacy.

Since it contains the ghost cultivation legacy, it is naturally an item of the ghost path and was crafted by a powerful ghost cultivator.

Because it carried the legacy, it naturally has the effect of communicating with the Netherworld’s will. It was with the help of this item that Zhou Daoquan could smoothly complete his transformation cultivation method back then.

After Zhou Daoquan switched to ghost cultivation, he delved into studying the ghost cultivation tradition, finding a method for cultivators to temporarily use this item as a substitute, which was passed on to Zhou Chun.

This was originally prepared for Zhou Chun for rare situations where he might need to use the ’Netherworld Soul Pact’ secret technique.

"What a terrible waste of rare resources! Using Fifth Order Nurturing Soul Wood to craft such a crude ghostly artifact!"

"If I were to refine it, I could certainly create a rare and superior Primordial Spirit-type defensive magical treasure, or even a peerless Dharma Treasure!"
