67: Return to the sect to open the treasure chest

"I understand, Grandpa. After arriving at the Sect, I will definitely cultivate diligently, swear to defend the Sect's interests and honor until death, and repay Senior for his kindness in recognizing my potential."

Li Erniu nodded and replied obediently.

In fact, the old man didn't need to give any instructions at all.

The mere fact that Jiang Chen saved his life was enough for him to repay with everything he had.

Not to mention, Jiang Chen was also taking him back to the Sect to become an Inner Sect Disciple of Qingtian Sect.

In this life, he swore to live and die with the Qingtian Sect.

"Mhm, this is truly a descendant of my Li family."

Hearing Li Erniu's answer, the old man nodded in satisfaction.

After giving Li Erniu a few more instructions.

He turned to look at Jiang Chen, bowed respectfully, and said, "Senior, this junior has nothing more to say to Erniu. Senior can take him away at any time."

"Alright, then I'll take Erniu now."

Jiang Chen grabbed Li Erniu and glanced at the old man.

He immediately took out a longevity pill, flew it in front of the old man, and said, "This pill can increase your lifespan by a hundred years. I bestow it upon you. I hope you cherish this time."

Before coming in.

He had noticed that not only were the old man's meridians completely severed, but his lifespan was also rapidly depleting.

Even if his meridians were repaired now, his lifespan wouldn't last more than a year.

Since he had already helped the old man, he might as well finish the good deed and grant the old man another hundred years.

As for what the old man would become after a hundred years, that would depend on his own fortune.

"Hiss! It can increase my lifespan by a hundred years?"

Looking at the pill before him, the old man's mouth gaped open in shock.

He had never even heard of such a heaven-defying pill that could increase a person's lifespan, let alone seen one.

He never thought that Jiang Chen would take out such a heaven-defying pill and bestow it upon him.

It was truly astounding.

Jiang Chen didn't waste words with the old man; after taking out the pill, he grabbed Li Erniu and vanished from the thatched cottage.

"Thank you... Senior!!"

The old man recovered his senses.

Kneeling on the ground, he was so moved that tears streamed down his face, and he repeatedly kowtowed toward the spot where Jiang Chen had disappeared.

He was naturally clear about his own body; being able to live another year was already a great fortune.

If he couldn't break through to Qi Gathering and extend his lifespan during this period, he would still perish.

But with this pill, things were different.

He had enough time to break through Qi Gathering, truly allowing him to live another lifetime.

Therefore, Jiang Chen was truly his benevolent second parent.

If Jiang Chen were willing to accept him as a godson, he would call Jiang Chen 'Godfather' without hesitation.

On the Qingtian Sect Plaza.

Jiang Chen stepped out of the spatial rift with Li Erniu.

"Big Saber, come to the Plaza for a moment," Jiang Chen called out lightly toward the air.

Almost instantly.

Li Big Saber appeared before Jiang Chen, bowed respectfully, and said, "Subordinate Li Big Saber greets the Sect Master. May I ask what the Sect Master commands?"

Jiang Chen patted the curious Li Erniu beside him and said to Li Big Saber, "This is This Sect Master's newly accepted Inner Sect Disciple. He is currently a mortal and doesn't know how to cultivate. After you arrange everything for him, you will be responsible for teaching him to become a true cultivator."

"Yes, Sect Master. This Subordinate will certainly not fail in his mission!" Li Big Saber bowed and accepted the command.

"Mhm." Jiang Chen nodded slightly, then looked at Li Erniu. "Erniu, this is our Qingtian Sect's Great Elder. If you have anything you don't understand in the future, go find him, understand?"

"Yes, Senior, Erniu will definitely follow the Great Elder and cultivate diligently." Li Erniu bowed to Jiang Chen, imitating Li Big Saber's bowing posture.

"Heh!"

Watching Li Erniu's decent posture, Jiang Chen smiled and vanished on the spot.

He didn't mind that Li Erniu was still calling him Senior.

After all, he had just arrived at Qingtian Sect and didn't know the rules yet. It would be fine after Li Big Saber instructed him.

"Erniu, what is your full name?"

After Jiang Chen left, Li Big Saber asked Li Erniu.

He needed to know Li Erniu's name to make him a token and arrange accommodation.

He didn't need to manage the Outer Sect Disciples, but he still had to personally handle the Inner Sect Disciple.

"Replying to Great Elder, this junior is called Li Erniu." Li Erniu also bowed respectfully to Li Big Saber.

"Oh, also surnamed Li?"

Li Big Saber was slightly surprised to hear that Li Erniu was also surnamed Li.

However, he quickly regained his composure and lightly reprimanded him, "Erniu, you are now an Inner Sect Disciple of the Qingtian Sect. You can no longer refer to yourself as a junior; you must call yourself a disciple, understand?"

"Yes... this disciple understands!" Li Erniu paused, then quickly corrected himself.

"Let's go. I'll take you to the accommodation area, then you can receive your sect attire, choose cultivation methods, and familiarize yourself with everything in the sect."

Seeing Li Erniu correct himself, Li Big Saber said no more.

He led Li Erniu toward the male disciple accommodation area.

Qingtian Sect Main Hall.

Jiang Chen lay down once again on his exclusive chair.

"System, open the two epic treasure chests." Jiang Chen commanded the System.

[Ding, epic treasure chest opened successfully]

[Ding, obtained one great emperor peak summoning card]

[Ding, obtained one great emperor first level cultivation boost card]

[Ding, obtained two Saint King Peak summoning cards]

[Ding, obtained one ultimate dao emperor weapon, the crimson flame cauldron]

...[Ding, epic treasure chest opened successfully]

[Ding, obtained one great emperor peak summoning card]

[Ding, obtained one Sect Expansion Card (Sect Expansion Card can expand the current sect area tenfold)]

[Ding, obtained one great emperor first level cultivation boost card]

[Ding, obtained five hundred spiritual qi ancestral veins]

"Oh, why did so many great emperor first level cultivation boost cards appear?"

Looking at the two Great Emperor Cultivation Boost Cards in the System inventory, Jiang Chen looked confused.

He was already at the Eighth Level Great Emperor.

If he used one more Cultivation Boost Card, he would reach Peak Great Emperor, so he didn't need any more Cultivation Boost Cards at all.

If the System still opened up Great Emperor Cultivation Boost Cards, wouldn't that be a waste?

[Ding, if the Host cannot use the excess great emperor first level cultivation boost cards, they can be exchanged for Great Emperor First Level Cultivation Boost Pills and bestowed upon disciples and Subordinates in the Great Emperor Realm, allowing them to directly elevate by one minor realm.]

As if sensing Jiang Chen's confusion, the System quickly spoke up.

"Heh, so it can be done this way."

Hearing the System's explanation, Jiang Chen smiled.

If he could exchange them for Great Emperor First Level Cultivation Boost Pills, then it wouldn't be a waste.

When Qingtian Sect members break through to the Great Emperor Realm.

He could bestow the Great Emperor Cultivation Boost Pills upon them, allowing them to use them to raise their cultivation.

"System, use one great emperor first level cultivation boost card."

He decided to boost his own cultivation first.

He would deal with the remaining items in the treasure chest one by one later.

[Ding, currently using great emperor first level cultivation boost card...]

[Ding, successfully used great emperor first level cultivation boost card. Host's current cultivation is Ninth Level Peak Great Emperor]
