Chapter 825: Chapter 819: Accident (2nd Update)

What?

Su Chen actually wants a fragment of the Divine Blood Stake.

As soon as these words were uttered, many Martial Cultivators in the hall twitched at the corners of their mouths.

He’s really got the nerve!

Even if a fragment of the Divine Blood Stake, a Supreme Treasure, were discounted a hundredfold, a thousandfold, it’s still not something Su Chen should be eyeing!

Liu Erfu’s expression changed slightly. It was only because Su Chen had just demonstrated terrifyingly strange and Supreme Expert-level Strength that he did not act out in hostility. Otherwise, just with Su Chen aiming for a fragment of the Divine Blood Stake, he would have readily slain him.

However, although he didn’t lash out, Liu Erfu’s tone grew colder: "Young Master Su must be joking."

"Mr. Liu, I’m not joking. After all, the primary function of the Divine Blood Stake is for testing. Now that it’s broken, it’s almost of no practical value. Even if Mr. Liu takes these fragments back to the Heaven Earth Pavilion, it would be of little use. I’m willing to purchase it with one hundred thousand Buddha Crystals. Additionally, I’m willing to owe the Heaven Earth Pavilion a favor. One day in the future, if my strength becomes formidable enough and the Heaven Earth Pavilion happens to need assistance, I am willing to help once without conditions if it doesn’t violate my own principles," Su Chen earnestly stated.

Liu Erfu’s frown deepened as he stared hard at Su Chen.

Uncertain and surprised.

What he cared about was not the unconditional ’help for the Heaven Earth Pavilion once’ that Su Chen mentioned. After all, the Heaven Earth Pavilion was not short of strong allies, and even though Su Chen was somewhat strange, could he truly become a Supreme Expert in the future? And would he really live to see that future? Those were too ephemeral.

What he cared about was the ’one hundred thousand Buddha Crystals’ Su Chen had mentioned. That was no small number.

In the Buddha Domain, a Superior Dao Artifact was worth only a few thousand Buddha Crystals.

The value of Buddha Crystals was not insignificant at all.

Buddha Crystals were, moreover, the only currency throughout the entire Buddha Domain.

For the Heaven Earth Pavilion, being a top-level Commerce Association force in the Buddha Domain, its annual net profit was merely around a million Buddha Crystals.

For Su Chen to offer one hundred thousand Buddha Crystals right out of the gate was somewhat frightening.

Then,

Su Chen suddenly took out a Storage Bag and handed it to Liu Erfu.

Liu Erfu checked it.

Indeed, it really was one hundred thousand Buddha Crystals.

Su Chen was not deceiving him.

In his heart, Liu Erfu took a deep breath. Su Chen actually really took out one hundred thousand Buddha Crystals? He couldn’t help but become curious about where Su Chen had obtained them. After all, Su Chen shouldn’t have been to the Buddha Domain yet! Besides, with such financial strength, it surpassed any force known to him from the Four Great Ancient Nations!

Could it be that Su Chen had other connections? With this thought, Liu Erfu trembled slightly. If Su Chen indeed had other backgrounds, he would really have to be more careful and treat him seriously.

After a few breaths of deliberation, Liu Erfu said gravely: "Su Chen, these fragments of the Divine Blood Stake are yours now. But remember, you owe the Heaven Earth Pavilion a favor."

"Young boy Su thanks Elder Liu." Su Chen was thrilled, his heart racing. Without another word, his figure flickered, and in an instant, he had collected all the fragments of the Divine Blood Stake into his Azure Mysterious Ring.

"Ha ha ha... Young boy Su, you’ve made a fortune." Jiuyou laughed heartily. The Divine Blood Stake was a treasured artifact that could significantly enhance Su Chen’s strength. Not to say spending one hundred thousand Buddha Crystals, even a million Buddha Crystals would be worthwhile!

Jiuyou previously had no hope, but then...

An unexpected joy.

"Ha ha..." Su Chen also laughed. Then, he looked at Liu Erfu and suddenly said in a condensed voice, "Mr. Liu, I’d like to say one more thing. Now that the Divine Blood Stake fragments belong to me, there won’t be any issues with the Heaven Earth Pavilion, right?"

After all, whether Liu Erfu had the authority to decide was hard to say!

The Heaven Earth Pavilion was not Liu Erfu’s, who was only a manager. Could a manager really make decisions about a Supreme artifact like the Divine Blood Stake? Hard to say.

"Young Master Su can rest assured. Since Mr. Liu has taken your Buddha Crystals, the Divine Blood Stake fragments are yours; there will be no problems from the Heaven Earth Pavilion’s side," Mr. Liu said indifferently.

Why so confident?

Firstly, the Divine Blood Stake was already broken, and its greatest value was gone. Throughout the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, aside from Su Chen who possesses the Divine Mansion and can directly Devour and absorb, it holds almost no value for martial cultivation to other Martial Cultivators. For the Heaven Earth Pavilion, converting them to one hundred thousand Buddha Crystals was definitely a win, especially as there was also a favor involved. Liu Erfu was confident he could justify this to the Heaven Earth Pavilion.

Secondly, Liu Erfu’s own status within the Heaven Earth Pavilion was quite high, he wasn’t just a manager. Behind him stood the entire Liu Family, whose words carried weight in the Heaven Earth Pavilion.

Su Chen nodded.

That eased his mind a lot.

Though he wasn’t afraid of trouble, he disliked it!

"Alright, let’s proceed to the second item!" Liu Erfu said: "The second item is straightforward. Testing the State of Mind."

Testing the State of Mind?

How does one test the State of Mind?

Many Martial Cultivators were puzzled but intrigued.

Liu Erfu continued:

"As we all know, Martial Cultivators defy the heavens in their pursuit. If we Martial Cultivators want to become stronger, our basic approach is to cultivate Spiritual Energy, which is the foundation for all Martial Cultivators. Spiritual Energy belongs to nature, to the world. It’s akin to plundering from the heavens, and it’s a very arduous path, a path against the heavens."

"For this reason, the path of martial arts cultivation brings both progress and retreat, dangers all around, seldom does safety come. Martial Cultivators on the Divine Martial Continent, over ninety percent have a lifespan of over ten thousand years, yet what’s the average lifespan? Merely three to five thousand years. Why? Because countless Martial Cultivators don’t live to see the end of their lifespans, dying prematurely."

"Therefore, on the journey of martial arts cultivation, aside from one’s own talent for martial cultivation, aside from their hard work and diligence, there is another indispensable aspect, which is the State of Mind. A strong, steady, serene, indomitable, and fearless State of Mind is too important for Martial Cultivators."

...

As Liu Erfu spoke, many Martial Cultivators nodded heavily, agreeing deeply.

Martial cultivation, too difficult!!!

Facing Demon Beasts, the Slaughter of peers, covetousness, at all times.

Maintaining a pure, forward-moving heart is not easy.

Su Chen also nodded, indeed, the State of Mind is extremely important.

It’s like the college entrance examination in Earth Huaxia. If you have superb knowledge and learning abilities, maybe you can rank among the top in monthly exams and practice tests, but on the actual day of the college entrance examination, you won’t necessarily achieve top ranks because you might get nervous, scared, flinch at the critical moment, and mess up. That’s the significance of the State of Mind.

However, how exactly does one test the State of Mind? Such an abstract and intangible concept is hard to assess.

Then,

Mr. Liu solemnly said, "The test of State of Mind will be personally conducted by an elder."

The ’elder’ Mr. Liu referred to was the mysterious woman in the palanquin.
