After Chu Chen walked out of the treasure vault, Li Fenghua routinely checked the items he had selected.

Seeing no issues, he let him leave.

Leng Ningshuang and the others also quickly looked at the items Chu Chen had chosen.

Their purpose was to ensure Chu Chen didn't pick the items they fancied.

The first item was the Ten Thousand Year Stalactite Liquid, which had no effect on these Double S-level and S-level geniuses, making everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Next was the Soul Armor, an item they already possessed for protection, so they naturally weren't interested.

Finally, when they saw the Soul Ascension Grass, many people's expressions changed, clearly indicating they were quite tempted by it.

At this moment, Zhou Lixing suddenly said, "I also really like this item, and I'm willing to offer something of equal value in exchange. I wonder if you, classmate Chu, would be willing to part with it."

Hearing this, Chu Chen shook his head and said, "Sorry, this item is of great use to me."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Lixing said with some disappointment, "That's too bad."

Several others who were tempted also swallowed back the words on the tip of their tongues.

This Soul Ascension Grass has a limited effect in enhancing Soul Power, but for Beast Masters at the Soul Master Level and below, it is an invaluable treasure.

Because it allows these people to contract another Guardian Beast.

For a Great Soul Master, however, its effect is negligible as it cannot enable contracting a second Epic Quality Guardian Beast.

Of course, using the Soul Ascension Grass also requires a condition: having ample capital, as contracting an additional Guardian Beast requires an astounding amount of cultivation resources.

The crowd had already done their homework, so when selecting treasures, they didn't have to think much, and simply grabbed and left.

In just one hour, Leng Ningshuang and others finished selecting their treasures.

After bidding farewell to Li Fenghua, Zhao Qianshan teleported everyone back.

"Alright, you can leave now," Zhao Qianshan said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone said their goodbyes.

When Chu Chen and others were about to leave, they were called to stop.

"Chu Chen, stay for a moment; the rest of you can choose to leave or wait around until he finishes so that you can leave together."

Lu Hongfei and others hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said to Chu Chen, "We'll wander around the Daoist School; just contact us when you're done, and we'll leave together then."

Chu Chen nodded in response.

Being from the Cyan Dragon Daoist School, and with Zhao Qianshan being an elder there, there naturally would be no danger leaving him here. Besides, even if there were danger, they couldn't stop it, so there was no need for them to stay.

"Let's go," Zhao Qianshan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Chu Chen hurriedly followed, but he curiously asked, "Elder, where are we going and for what purpose?"

Zhao Qianshan replied with a smile, "Taking you to meet someone, don't ask further."

Chu Chen could only follow quietly upon hearing this.

After walking for about ten minutes, they entered an office building and took the elevator straight to the top floor.

They arrived at the door of an office, and Zhao Qianshan lightly knocked a few times.

At this moment, a majestic voice came from inside: "Come in."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qianshan quickly opened the door and entered.

Seeing this, Chu Chen hurriedly followed inside.

After entering the room, Chu Chen took a look around; this office was the largest and most luxurious he had ever seen.

Covering an area of hundreds of square meters, all office supplies were made from Star Treasure. Take the desk, for instance: it was made from Ninth-Grade Star Treasure Calming Wood, worth at least several million.

While Chu Chen marveled at the office's luxury, Zhao Qianshan had already approached the desk.

"Hall Master, I have brought him," he announced.

"Mm, you may go out first; I want to talk to him alone."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qianshan quickly excused himself.

It was only then that Chu Chen realized this was Long Batian's office and quickly stepped forward with respect, saying, "Greetings, Hall Master."

Long Batian waved at Chu Chen and said, "No need to be formal; come, sit, let's have a casual chat."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen quickly walked to the desk and sat down.

"Chu Chen, how do you find Cyan Dragon City this time?"

Chu Chen responded promptly, "The impression I have is only shock; everything here is much better than Celestial Star City, and it's very safe here."

Hearing this, Long Batian smiled and said, "That's natural, but the safety here is earned by the Beast Masters at the frontline at the cost of their lives."

Hearing this, Chu Chen nodded gravely, as that was indeed the truth.

Long Batian saw this and asked again, "What do you think of the Blood God Sect?"

This made Chu Chen feel some revulsion, and he replied, "I've had two encounters with them; they are just a bunch of lunatics."

As Chu Chen spoke, Long Batian was observing him, as if trying to glean something from his face.

However, Chu Chen appeared very natural with no signs of revealing anything.

Hearing this, Long Batian solemnly said, "They are indeed a bunch of lunatics, but also cowards. Submitting to the Star Beasts will only lead humans to become their farmed food. As for their so-called Blood God, it's a fictional creation spawned by obtaining a treasure, yet this treasure is indeed extraordinary. The power and growth rate of the Blood Beasts far exceed that of Guardian Beasts, but unfortunately, this treasure has fallen into the hands of those with malicious intentions." After speaking, he once again focused on Chu Chen.

Chu Chen didn't echo this sentiment but began to analyze thoughtfully.

"From what I know, Blood Beasts are extremely ferocious creatures that seem to lack emotions and can easily backlash at their owners if not careful. I believe Blood Beasts aren't suitable as Guardian Beasts; they seem more like failed experimental products."
