Divine King of Honour

Heaven and earth possessed spirit, giving birth to all kinds of precious treasures, among which crystal stones were the most common.

These crystal stones existed in places rich with spiritual energy, and over the years, through cumulative absorption of heaven and earth spiritual energy, they eventually formed different grades of spirit stones.

Because the spiritual energy within these spirit stones was relatively pure, the energy could be directly absorbed by humans, which was greatly beneficial to spiritual cultivators.

Spirit stones were classified into Heaven, Earth, Xuanhuang, and Yellow grades based on the capacity of spiritual energy they contained. At this moment, the spirit stone before Xu Nian and his companions was a Yellow-level Top-Grade Spirit Stone.

Despite being a mere Yellow-level Top-Grade Spirit Stone, the spiritual energy it contained was enough to sustain a practitioner of the Silver Moon Battle Sect level for a month of cultivation.

One could only imagine how precious the spirit stone before them was.

"Actually a Yellow-level Top-Grade Spirit Stone, if this were sold within the academy, it could probably fetch a sky-high price of a million credits!" The onlookers from the academy also revealed expressions of surprise, their eyes filled with envy.

Yun Lan and Han Xin were also staring dumbfoundedly at the spirit stone. Even a Yellow-level Lower Grade Spirit Stone could fetch a handsome price in the outside world, not to mention this rarely seen Yellow-level Top-Grade Spirit Stone.

The fluctuations emitting from the spirit stone at this moment made their hearts beat faster, and the crystal-clear beauty and dazzling radiance also stirred their minds.

Xu Nian, looking at this spirit stone, didn't feel much.

Although the spirit stone contained a lot of energy, it wasn't of much use to him. What he had in abundance right now was spiritual energy.

"Let's see what's inside the remaining two boxes?" Xu Nian spoke up.

After speaking, he continued to open the second box. This time, it wasn't as brilliantly luminous as the first one. Inside the box lay a book with the words "Xuan Ice Technique" written on it.

Xu Nian briefly flipped through it and quickly shook his head.

The book in his hands was a combat technique, and its grade was not low, having reached an Earth-level Low-quality.

An Earth-level combat technique was something that the entire Qinglin Academy's Scripture Pavilion only had a few of, and ordinary disciples could not obtain them. However, this combat technique was of little use to Xu Nian, akin to a chicken rib.

However, Han Xin's eyes were burning as she looked at this combat technique, as she was obviously a Water Attribute cultivator, and to her, this combat technique was undoubtedly a huge temptation.

"Sister Han Xin, this combat technique suits your cultivation, so I'll give it to you, and Sister Yun Lan, that spirit stone is of no use to me, so I'll give it to you," Xu Nian said with a smile.

"How could that be?"

Both Han Xin and Yun Lan were stunned. They originally only wished in their hearts and never really expected to receive treasures, after all, it was Xu Nian who had killed the Giant Hou by himself, how could they now have the face to ask for his treasures?

The audience outside was also shocked, admiring Xu Nian's generosity. To give away such precious treasures so readily, and to give away two at once, his approach to impressing the ladies seemed a bit too costly.

Xu Nian, on the other hand, dismissed it with a wave of his hand, and without giving Han Xin and Yun Lan a chance to refuse, he directly moved towards the third iron box.

Seeing this, Han Xin and Yun Lan no longer hesitated, and accepted the treasures they desired. At the same time, they turned their attention to the third box.

They both hoped that the third box would contain a treasure that would satisfy Xu Nian; otherwise, they would indeed feel guilty.

However, the moment Xu Nian opened the third box, Han Xin and Yun Lan were stunned.

It wasn't because the treasure in the box was too precious, it was because the treasure inside was too bizarre.

A bone!

Yes, a shiny and slippery bone that didn't have a wisp of spiritual energy fluctuation on it.

The expressions on the faces of the audience outside the scene lit up with amusement, hardly able to contain their laughter. Enjoy new tales from empire

"Ha ha, Xu Nian really took a big loss this time. He gave away his treasures and all he got was a bone."

"Alas, that's called luck. He went to all that trouble to kill a Giant Hou, and in the end, he didn't get any treasures. I wonder if he will cry himself to death?"

"Don't get too happy just yet, what if this bone turns out to be some kind of rare treasure?"

"You're thinking too much. It's obviously just a normal beast bone, without even a hint of spiritual power fluctuation. What's so special about it!"

The audience outside were having a heated discussion, some feeling sorry for Xu Nian, others were taking pleasure in his misfortune.

Inside Jade Cave Heaven, Han Xin and Yun Lan also had unsightly expressions. After hesitating for a moment, Han Xin said to Xu Nian, "Xu Nian, we should still give you the treasures."

"Yes, actually whether we get these treasures or not doesn't matter." Yun Lan also hurriedly said in consolation, her eyes turning sympathetic as they looked at Xu Nian.

However, Xu Nian seemed as if he hadn't heard the two of them, and reached out for the beast bone in the box.

The beast bone was lighter than Xu Nian had imagined, its surface glossy like white jade, and it felt a bit icy cold to the touch.

The beast bone was long, about three feet, roughly the same length as Xu Nian's Xuan Iron Sword, but Xu Nian could feel that the hardness of the bone surpassed his Xuan Iron Sword, even tougher than Meteorite Iron.

"Kid, this is a leg bone from a Battle Emperor Level Demon Beast. The spiritual energy on it has been sealed by prohibitions, so it looks no different from a normal bone on the surface. But once the prohibition is lifted, it will have terrifying energy, far more precious than such piss-poor Spirit Stones," the voice of Emperor Ye Tian echoed in Xu Nian's mind.

A strong gleam exploded in Xu Nian's eyes immediately. No wonder he felt the leg bone was so hard; it was actually a leg bone from an Emperor Level Demon Beast.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

A Demon Beast of Battle Emperor Level, that was an existence that stood above Saints. In the entire Tianhen Empire, the count of Battle Emperors could be numbered on one's fingers. The energy contained in the leg bone of such a level of Demon Beast could be imagined.

"Xu Nian, Xu Nian…" Just as Xu Nian was shocked by the origin of the leg bone he held, he was awakened by the calling voices of Han Xin and Yun Lan beside him.

"Ah, what's the matter?" Xu Nian asked, looking puzzled.

"We, these are our treasures. Now we are returning them to you as they were. We can't just take the precious treasures and leave you with a worthless bone, and seeing how heartbroken you are, we would feel guilty," said Yun Lan.

Han Xin also nodded repeatedly beside her, holding the Combat Technique in her hand.

Seeing this, Xu Nian smiled and said to the two women, "Ha ha, how could I possibly be heartbroken? I'm so happy I don't even know where to start. You think this is a useless bone, but let me tell you, it's not. This bone is a hundred times more precious than the treasures in your hands."

Having said that, Xu Nian waved his sleeve and put the three boxes on the platform into his storage ring, then slung the bone over his shoulder, and strutted out with great composure.

Han Xin and Yun Lan exchanged glances, both showing a look of helplessness.

After thinking for a moment, Han Xin called out to Xu Nian's departing figure, "Xu Nian, I know you are very upset. We might believe you if you said this bone is ten times more precious than our treasures, but a hundred times? Clearly, you are just fooling yourself! Otherwise, why would you even take the boxes with you?"

Just as he was about to step out of the cave dwelling, Xu Nian stumbled, almost face-planting to the ground!
