153: Chapter 153 Unknown Magical Weapon

Seeing that not much time had been wasted, Wang Bin continued to examine the other items.

Purely out of curiosity, he hadn't expected the Chu Family's treasury to even have a Tier 3 flying ship, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

He knew in his heart that the Chu Family would definitely not give him this item.

Moreover, he also saw several Tier 3 Pill Furnaces inside; there were even extra Magic Treasure-grade Pill Furnaces sitting idle in the warehouse, collecting dust. The Chu Family was truly rolling in wealth!

Wang Bin kept looking, then casually clicked on the "Miscellaneous" section.

After clicking it open, he found that it contained only damaged Magic Treasures or incomplete items.

However, one item caught his attention—"Unknown Magic Treasure, Damaged.

Can store a Cultivator's spiritual power, but it will slowly dissipate, and Cultivators cannot refine it."

Wang Bin clicked on its image; it was a spherical object the size of a fist, resembling a glass bead, with a crack finer than a strand of hair on its surface.

Wang Bin scrutinized it repeatedly, especially the phrase "can store a Cultivator's spiritual power," thinking that if understood literally, this was quite similar to the "battery" he had envisioned!

As soon as this thought flashed, Wang Bin couldn't sit still.

Other Magic Treasures and such could always be bought with Spirit Stones.

A High Grade defensive Magic Treasure, for example, would cost at most around one hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones; anything more Advanced would be difficult to buy even with Spirit Stones.

Although he had already figured out a method for manufacturing a "battery" for the Cultivation World when he was Breaking Through to Golden Core, that was just an idea, still far from actually making it.

Perhaps his idea was completely wrong. Now there was a ready-made one; he really wanted to know what Materials this item was made of and what its internal structure was like.

With it, his research on batteries would definitely be much easier! No, the more he thought about it, the more Wang Bin wanted this Magic Treasure, not even caring about the Azurewood Shield and Azurewood Thorn he had liked before.

But he started to wonder, if he gave up a High Grade Magic Treasure and insisted on this damaged one, would it arouse the Chu Family's suspicion?

What if they didn't give it to him then? What would he do?

This was the Chu Family's territory; there were many experts, and other methods were simply out of the question.

Even if he were a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator, he might not be able to escape safely from here, let alone being a Cultivator who had just Broken Through to Golden Core Realm.

"What, Qingmu, you've been staring at this damaged magic orb. Do you know what it's for?"

Chu Wu's sudden interjection startled Wang Bin. Fortunately, he was now a Golden Core cultivator, so his heart rate wouldn't accelerate enough for someone to detect a flaw.

"No, I was just curious. Although my Cultivation is not very high, I usually like to study strange and unusual things.

Things like Formations, Artifact Refining, and Alchemy, I've dabbled in them all, though I'm not particularly proficient in any. I'll choose this unknown Magic Treasure, is that okay?"

Wang Bin asked tentatively, feeling it was better to be honest and direct.

If the Chu Family didn't give it to him, he couldn't do anything, so he might as well ask directly. They should also find it difficult to refuse, after all, Chu Wu had said before that he could pick any Magic Treasure.

Chu Wu hesitated for a moment, then tentatively said, "Are you sure you don't want to choose a High Grade Magic Treasure?

You should know, this opportunity is rare. A High Grade Magic Treasure is worth at least fifty to one hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, and your unknown Magic Treasure states that it cannot be refined.

Once you choose, you can't change it, so don't say our Chu Family doesn't keep its word then."

At the same time, he secretly transmitted a message to the Elder in the Formation:

"Seventh Uncle, does this unknown Magic Treasure have some secret? Has anyone in the Family studied it?

If this is a good thing, we would suffer a huge loss.

It can store spiritual power; if it were repaired and a Family Cultivator equipped with one, wouldn't it be equivalent to having an extra Dantian?

Wouldn't their ability in combat be greatly enhanced! Especially when Breaking Through to Golden Core, if spiritual power isn't enough, they could draw from this Magic Treasure, which would definitely be more effective than Spirit Liquid!"

Chu Wu poured all his thoughts out to Seventh Uncle. His Seventh Uncle had been guarding the Family treasury for two hundred years, had seen countless treasures, and was a Nascent Soul Cultivator, so his judgment was much better than his own.

"I don't know when this spherical Magic Treasure appeared; it was here when I arrived.

However, I looked, and there are more than a dozen identical ones in the warehouse, all cracked.

If this junior wants it, just give it to him. If he can repair it, and it truly is an extraordinary item, then that would naturally be even better.

He is only a Golden Core cultivator; he can't cause any major waves in West Sea City. What's his isn't it the Chu Family's anyway?

This Magic Treasure is highly likely useless; so many Artifact Refiners in the Family haven't found anything special about it."

Chu Wu nodded upon hearing Seventh Uncle's transmission and no longer dwelled on it.

"Qingmu, since you've chosen this, our Chu Family naturally has no objection. Are you sure?"

"Yes, Hall Master Chu, I've chosen this!"

As Wang Bin's words fell, a vortex appeared in the Formation, and a fist-sized translucent crystal ball landed in front of him.

Wang Bin reached out and caught it, casually glancing at it. There was indeed a very fine crack on the ball. He didn't look further and directly put it into his Storage Pouch.

The matter of choosing a Magic Treasure was concluded, and Chu Wu took Wang Bin back to his home.

"Qingmu, our Chu Family promised to help you with Core Formation, and now we have done so.

Since you have already reached the Golden Core Realm, according to the School rules, you are automatically promoted to Outer Elder. Now you have two choices:

One is to be transferred back to the School, choose an Immortal Cave at the foot of the mountain, and serve the School like other Outer Elders;

The second is to continue being stationed in White Cloud City, choose a house in the outer city of West Sea City, and ensure normal Cultivation.

However, you must submit ten thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones every hundred years, perform one mission for the School every hundred years, and must obey orders during major battles of the School.

The salary outside is less than being an Elder within the School. These are the two choices; please consider them."

After listening to Chu Wu's words, Wang Bin pondered for a moment and then asked, "Hall Master Chu, where do I learn my subsequent Cultivation Techniques? Do I still need contribution points?"

"The main Cultivation Technique is provided free by the School; if you want to learn others, you'll have to exchange them with contribution points."

Upon receiving this answer, Wang Bin unhesitatingly chose the second option.

He knew in his heart that as an Outer Elder, he had no future staying in the School; it was better to go back and develop his Family.

Seeing Wang Bin make his choice, Chu Wu didn't say anything.

After all, the School had always paid little attention to Outer Elders; truly promising Disciples were already being Focus on training from the Qi Refinement Stage.
