Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas

Chapter 269: Selecting Treasures


After Chu Chen and his group enjoyed a satisfying meal, they helped Lu Hongfei back to his lodgings.

That's right, helped. Lu Hongfei managed to get himself drunk and deliberately chose not to use his Soul Power to expel the alcohol.

Clearly, he was in very high spirits today. After all, all three participants from the Celestial Star City branch who entered the exchange competition passed the preliminary selection, and Chu Chen and Zhang Yuyan even secured impressive first and ninth places, respectively, which also indirectly proved his capability.

This was akin to years of hard work finally paying off, and the difficulties he faced were naturally beyond words.

After helping Lu Hongfei return to his room, Chu Chen and the others went back to the living room.

At this moment, Wang Lu seemed to have an idea, and he quickly approached Chu Chen, smiling as he said, "Tomorrow, you will be going to the treasury to select treasures. Want us to help you make some choices?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen and Zhang Yuyan exchanged a glance and immediately nodded.

Chu Chen didn't have a particularly broad outlook, and his exposure to treasures was minimal. If he had to choose treasures independently, he might easily overlook some valuable items.

Chu Chen could choose three items, while Zhang Yuyan could only choose one.

The group decided to help Zhang Yuyan make her choice first.

After half an hour of discussion, Zhang Yuyan finally selected an Ice Leaf Golden Flower with Ice-Gold Dual Element, a Profound Rank Upper Grade Heavenly and Earthly Treasure. Its effect was to enhance the Guardian Beast's affinity for these two elements and even, to a certain extent, transform the Guardian Beast's body to better align with these attributes.

If lucky enough, the Guardian Beast could even directly increase its quality.

Yu Yan chose this treasure because her third Guardian Beast was the White Snow Sword Crane.

Next, the group helped Chu Chen with his selection. The first item was already decided: the Ten Thousand Year Stalactite Liquid.

Actually, Chu Chen did not have an urgent need for the Ten Thousand Year Stalactite Liquid, since he possessed the talent of Heaven Rewards Diligence. Although his cultivation speed could not compare with the five Double S-level prodigies, it was already on par with S-level prodigies like Zhang Yuyan.

However, he couldn't disclose his talent and could only choose this bottle of Ten Thousand Year Stalactite Liquid to maintain a disguise, and no one would ever complain about their cultivation speed being too fast.

For the second item, Chu Chen had a general direction in mind, which was a treasure offering soul protection.

After some collective deliberation, they ultimately decided on a piece of Soul Armor.

This was an extremely rare Soul Device; its main function was to protect the Beast Master's soul. Normally, it would be nurtured within the Soul Sea, and if the Beast Master's soul was attacked, it would automatically activate its defense to help the Beast Master resist the soul attack.

As for the last item, Chu Chen had no particular ideas and, after much looking, did not find anything that caught his eye, so he resolved to decide after entering the treasury the next day.

A quiet night passed by, and it was already the next day.

Logistical work was still handled by Wang Lingfeng, who seemed more dedicated to this job than before, delivering an exquisite and hearty breakfast early in the morning, clearly from some high-end restaurant.

After finishing breakfast, the group followed Wang Lingfeng to the Cyan Dragon Daoist School.

When Chu Chen saw the Cyan Dragon Daoist School's headquarters, he was completely shocked by its sprawling size, covering tens of thousands of square meters, and its over ten thirty-story buildings, the architecture predominantly cyan-colored, exuding a high-tech vibe.

Wang Lingfeng was extremely familiar with the place, and through his introduction, they learned that he was also an A-level talent cultivated by the Cyan Dragon Daoist School; whenever he wasn't occupied with schoolwork, he would cultivate there.

As Wang Lingfeng introduced the place, the group gradually understood the purposes of these buildings.

Some buildings were for cultivation, with arrays inscribed inside. The higher the floor, the denser the Star Power, and naturally, the higher the cost.

Some of the buildings served as training grounds, Soul Skill Buildings, Task Buildings, restaurants, and so on.

All facilities were fully equipped, anything you could think of related to cultivation could be found there.

A quarter of an hour later, the group finally reached a building under Wang Lingfeng's lead.

At this time, Leng Ningshuang and the others hadn't arrived yet, which was quite normal, as Chu Chen was the first to select.

Under the guidance of the staff, the group went down to the third underground level.

The Cyan Dragon Daoist School's setup truly amazed everyone.

After leading them to a resting area, the staff left.

About a quarter of an hour later, Long Yunxiao and others arrived one after another.

After verifying the identities of Chu Chen and his group, the staff led them into an array.

Chu Chen couldn't help but curiously examine the array beneath his feet. It was circular, approximately three meters in diameter, inscribed with a six-pointed star within.

Around the six-pointed star, there were runes that he didn't understand. Judging by their complexity, these runes were anything but simple.

There were also six circular grooves where the six-pointed star met the circle.

Zhao Qianshan, seeing this, stepped into the array as well. He glanced at the surrounding crowd and then said somewhat displeased, "No one else is allowed to come near, or face the consequences."

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly stepped back a few paces, fearing any mishaps might involve them.

Seeing this, Zhao Qianshan nodded in satisfaction, took out six fist-sized round Star Crystals from his Spatial Ring, and carefully placed them into the grooves.

Long Yunxiao noticed Chu Chen's curiosity and explained with a smile, "This is a Teleportation Array."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen was momentarily stunned; it was his first time encountering this term.
