Bab 41: 41. Ten Thousand Souls Banner
A few days later, amid the reluctant emotions of the Jiang sisters, and after harvesting a wave of emotional points, Chen Xuan left.
Before heading to Qingyang Town, he made a quick stop at the Misty Forest to check on Lin Dong's situation.
Upon arrival, he observed from a distance without showing himself. From above, he could see Lin Dong cautiously approaching an Ancient Dragon Ape with a wooden bowl in hand.
"Um, mighty beast sirs, how about we make a trade?" Lin Dong offered.
The Ancient Dragon Ape glanced down at the bowl, instantly drawn to its contents, its gaze glued as it began to drool, longing to gulp down what was in the bowl.
Seeing this reaction, Lin Dong was overjoyed. "Just let me leave, and this bowl of potent medicinal liquid filled with spiritual energy is all yours."
This was an elixir he'd recently refined using the Stone Talisman, filled with pure energy.
To him, such a treasure would be irresistible not just to beasts, but even to humans.
However, what happened next left Lin Dong stunned.
The Ancient Dragon Ape: "??"
The Heaven-Shaking Demon Ape: "??"
The two giant beasts exchanged glances, quickly suppressing their desire.
The liquid looked appealing, but they were not about to risk their lives!
They knew about the powerful Nirvana Realm being behind Lin Dong — did he think they wanted to die?
Seeing no reaction, Lin Dong tried once more to lure them. "This elixir could help you reach the Peak of the Manifestation Realm!"
"Roar!"
Both beasts rose up, letting out an angry roar, a gust of fierce wind pouring from their mouths and spilling the precious liquid on the ground.
Lin Dong, heartbroken, didn't waste a second and bolted for the underground passage, muttering in frustration, "Little Marten, didn't you say this would definitely work?"
"It should have worked! The liquid refined from the Stone Talisman is pure, they shouldn't have been able to resist it."
Lin Dong complained bitterly, "And now I'm covered in their awful breath. It's revolting!"
Hearing this, the two giant beasts glared at him and taught him another hard lesson.
Ever since Lin Dong broke into the Advanced of Form Creation Realm, he had hardly improved at all, thanks to the relentless training inflicted by these two beasts.
Observing this, Chen Xuan was satisfied, and he silently vanished.

In Yan City, Thousand Gold Inn, a woman in a red dress, Xuan Su, was leaning on her hand by the window, gazing into the distance.
Beside her, Xia Zhilan looked at her with a touch of resentment.
"Aunt Su, I don't think he's coming back," Xia Zhilan remarked softly.
"Perhaps not," Xuan Su replied with a gentle smile.
Just as she spoke, a familiar voice echoed through the room.
"Long time no see."
Startled, both women turned. Xuan Su's chest rose and fell as her eyes lit up with joy.
[Ding, Xuan Su feels joy, emotional points +50]
[Ding, Xia Zhilan feels joy and surprise, emotional points +100]
Xia Zhilan rubbed her eyes in disbelief. "Aunt Su, am I seeing things?"
She still felt content, even if it was just an illusion.
But Xuan Su covered her mouth in shock, whispering, "This… doesn't seem to be an illusion."
Realizing it was real, Xia Zhilan threw herself at Chen Xuan, confirming he was truly there.
She noticed a faint fragrance lingering around him but held him tightly all the same.
Xuan Su, too, embraced him, feeling as if only holding him could stop him from vanishing again.

After spending time with the three women, Chen Xuan activated the system's lottery interface.
With nearly ten thousand emotional points saved up, he decided to splurge a bit.
"System, ten consecutive draws," he commanded.
[Ding, thank you for participating. Please try again next time.]
What? A miss on the first try?
[Ding, congratulations, you've acquired the Ninth-Rank Martial Skill, Water Manipulation Technique.]
[Ding, congratulations, you've acquired the First-Rank Martial Skill, Wind Technique.]
---
Out of ten draws, only two yielded rewards, with the rest being thank-you-for-participating messages. Frustrated, Chen Xuan decided to go for another round of ten.
[Ding, congratulations, you've acquired a mythical artifact from another world: the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.]
Finally, something significant!
