Luo Bingling was furious, truly furious. She didn't know the Minor Space Technique, but Ye Chen's solemnity marked it as valuable. She'd discovered it with him.

Yet he traveled far to gift it to Lan Nuo, not her. What did that mean? In his heart, was everyone above her? For the confident Luo Bingling, this was a massive blow.

She thought a twist of her waist would easily sway a lecher like Ye Chen. Yet he repeatedly tried to ditch her, giving treasures to other women. He even let that barefoot woman splash her face during their chariot antics, uncaring!

"Must I do that to conquer him, win his heart?"

Luo Bingling pondered. But… she recoiled. The War God Clan's monogamous tradition made her resistant. Soon, she recalled that barefoot woman's tactics…using nimble feet.

Though cringe-inducing, her toes curling, she'd already let him touch her waist and feet. One step further? Fine… Resolved, she glared at Ye Chen above, studying Su Yuxuan's moves…

"This… too precious…"

Above, Lan Nuo trusted Ye Chen's judgment. A technique he valued was extraordinary. Needing a Space Divine Stone, he gave her something better. He'd been watching her silently. She no longer feared a beating. But she was embarrassed. She tried to refuse.

Before she could, Ye Chen flicked the golden jade slip to her. "Central Continent's only true prodigy is you—don't be wishy-washy, or I'll look down on you!" He knew Lan Nuo too well. A show-off couldn't stand being underestimated.

As expected, she felt refusing was too petty, lacking grandeur. She caught it gently. "Then, thank you, Fellow Daoist Ye!"

Her tone was calm, but her mind reeled. She'd thought two kids, one surnamed Lan, was enough. But Ye Chen's devotion—praising her, gifting her first—showed she was special.

Luo Bingling's twisted expression below confirmed she got nothing. She should have more kids, let Ye Chen choose, leaving the least talented for the Lan Clan…

Amid gratitude, worry hit. What about the fight? Ye Chen would likely hold back. But with great powers, even Saint Kings, watching, they'd notice. Would he cancel again? That'd raise suspicions. She couldn't keep letting him lose face—she should reciprocate. Maybe study the Minor Space Technique now? Claim a breakthrough, say she can't suppress her realm, and must seclude, delaying the fight. It'd show her genius talent and reasonably postpone the battle…

Ye Chen ignored Lan Nuo's cool facade and racing thoughts, and Luo Bingling's competitive resolve to break her clan's traditions below. His mind focused on the system's prompt.

"Congratulations, host, gift successfully given…"

"Gift: Minor Space Technique fragment!"

"4,000x feedback processing!"

"Detected: Gift matches recipient's mindset…"

"Triggered top-notch critical reward."

"Feedback: Full Minor Space Technique with Immortal King Fang Han's insights!"

"Feedback: Full Minor Teleportation Technique with Immortal King Fang Han's insights!"

"Feedback: Full Minor Sealing Technique with Immortal King Fang Han's insights!"

"Minor Space Technique: Created by a top Black Yellow World expert to simplify Major Space Technique for sect disciples. Contains space truths, greatly enhancing space comprehension, allowing easy manipulation of space power to suppress enemies…"

"Minor Teleportation Technique: Simplified from Major Teleportation Technique. The latter crosses world barriers; this, when mastered, teleports a million miles instantly…"

"Minor Sealing Technique: Simplified from Major Sealing Technique. Seals enemies, restricting strength, speed, or divine abilities. At mastery, it can seal vitality, trapping foes in a deathless, lifeless state, forever unliberated…"

Ye Chen smiled at the feedback. No Major Space Technique, but he wasn't disappointed—expected. As a top-tier Immortal Scripture, one of the three thousand great Daos, its value was unimaginable. Minor Space Technique was like a kindergarten book compared to advanced math. The gap was vast. Gifting a fragment, expecting the full Major version, was ambitious.

With Yan Qingcheng's 7,000x and a top critical, it might've been possible. But Lan Nuo's feedback satisfied him. One fragment for three full techniques—huge win. All were potent.

Minor Space Technique would secure his third-tier Mahayana breakthrough. Minor Teleportation Technique was fierce—long-range instant movement. Paired with Kun Peng Treasure Technique and Travel Secret, he'd go anywhere, boosting survivability.

Minor Sealing Technique enhanced his combat options. The cultivation world wasn't just fighting; connections mattered. Sealing gave him flexibility in tricky situations. Some races had terrifying vitality, reviving from a drop of blood. In the Immortal Realm, some were unkillable. Sealing was ideal.

Ye Chen was pleased with the haul. Lan Nuo had done her best. His gaze on her softened further.
