Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk 'Work Hard, Rest Hard'-Chapter 535: The Allure of Chaos Jade

The Blood Moon Dao Lord could feel the gazes of the people beside him fixed on him.

But he didn't care. This was taking a stand, this was setting a benchmark. As long as he established this benchmark and didn't make any major mistakes, Miluo—no, the Seven Stars Dao Court—would not target the Blood Moon Dao Court. This was about choosing sides; offending some people was nothing at all.

Su Yuan revealed a kind smile. "The Blood Moon Dao Lord is too polite. For such a grand gift, I am deeply pleased."

He then assumed a thoughtful expression and said, "Since that is the case, this Sovereign cannot be too stingy either."

With a wave of his hand, a jade box materialized out of thin air in the great hall, floating in mid-air.

The jade box was pure white as snow, its surface engraved with numerous Dao Patterns, forming an isolating crystal that securely locked the treasure inside. It also included many Dao Patterns like time stasis and spatial condensation, protecting the contents within.

The jade box slowly flew to the Blood Moon Dao Venerable, surprising him somewhat.

"This is…"

He couldn't help but look at Su Yuan.

"Open it," Su Yuan said calmly.

Everyone looked at the jade box with curiosity, all wondering what it could be. Something worthy of being presented by Su Yuan, who was at the quasi-Dominator realm, was definitely no ordinary item.

The Blood Moon Dao Lord calmed his emotions and, under everyone's gaze, slowly opened the jade box before him.

The moment the jade box opened a crack, his hand almost trembled.

Cultivators sensitive to auras and those who recognized the item instantly changed expressions, losing their composure.

This made the others even more curious.

The jade box opened fully, revealing a total of one hundred and fifty jade pieces neatly arranged inside.

The jade pieces looked utterly ordinary, but when powerhouses at the Dao Venerable level saw them, it was as if they were looking at the most delicious food in the world, desire rising in their hearts!

"Chaos Jade Marrow!"

Someone blurted out, but immediately covered their mouth, fearing they had offended the Seven Stars Dao Lord.

However, his words made many people suddenly understand.

Even Gu Qingzhu felt curious. "So this is Chaos Jade Marrow? The legendary, most fundamental power of Chaos, possessing many incredible effects. An ordinary Dao Yan Realm cultivator using one piece has a ninety percent chance of breaking through to Dao Venerable! Dao Venerable Realm cultivators using it can also increase their strength, break through bottlenecks, and it can even be used in battle to unleash power a hundred times greater. The effects are too many and too good!"

The Blood Moon Dao Lord was also extremely excited. He had used Chaos Jade Marrow before and knew even better how precious this item was. However, the total amount of Chaos Jade Marrow he had ever possessed only amounted to twelve pieces.

And now, in the jade box before him, there were a full one hundred and fifty pieces. What an enormous gain was this?

He immediately bowed respectfully towards Su Yuan. "Thank you for your generous gift, Seven Stars Dao Lord!"

Su Yuan looked at him calmly and said, "I intend to take the Blood Moon Dao Court as a subsidiary Dao Court, granting you the qualification to exchange for Chaos Jade Marrow. One hundred trillion trillion Dao Yan Crystals can be exchanged for one piece of Chaos Jade Marrow!"

The Blood Moon Dao Lord's eyes gleamed with a sharp light. A subsidiary Dao Court? He didn't care about that. What he valued was precisely this qualification to exchange for Chaos Jade Marrow!

Previously, to obtain those twelve pieces of Chaos Jade Marrow, he had struggled desperately, barely managing to obtain one piece by chance in various ancient ruins or perilous lands. And now, one hundred trillion trillion Dao Yan Crystals could stably obtain one piece of Chaos Jade Marrow. Such a good deal was impossible to find anywhere else!

The Blood Moon Dao Lord immediately replied, "I agree! The Blood Moon Dao Court is willing to become a subsidiary Dao Court of the Seven Stars Dao Court!"

He agreed directly, without any hesitation!

Su Li immediately looked up at the sky and saw the Fortune of the Seven Stars Dao Court immediately begin to churn, its total amount skyrocketing in an instant!

Under the blessing of the Fortune Dao Principle, all of this became visible. Strands of Fortune Power blessed all the cultivators of the Seven Stars Dao Court. Everyone could feel the changes in themselves; their comprehension of Dao Principles had clearly become somewhat easier.

The feedback of Fortune Power was most obvious on Su Yuan. A vast amount of Fortune Power poured into Su Yuan's body, where he converted it into Source Power, which could ultimately be transformed into Chaos Jade Marrow.

This first wave of conversion brought a massive feedback of Fortune. As the master of the Dao Court, the feedback he received was the highest.

After a round of conversion, a full fifty thousand pieces of Chaos Jade Marrow were ultimately condensed.

And this was only the benefit from the first conversion. In the future, he could continuously absorb Fortune Power from the Blood Moon Dao Court and keep converting it into Chaos Jade Marrow!

The one hundred and fifty pieces of Chaos Jade Marrow he had just paid out had now been earned back many times over.

Moreover, that exchange ratio was also extremely exaggerated. One hundred trillion trillion Dao Yan Crystals could be converted into ten thousand pieces of Chaos Jade Marrow, yet he only gave out one piece. The commission was a bit high. Fortunately, no one knew this point, otherwise they would definitely curse him as a profiteer.

The Blood Moon Dao Lord also felt a large portion of his Fortune vanish into thin air. However, soon after becoming a subsidiary of the Seven Stars Dao Court, a portion of Fortune was fed back to him from the main court, the Seven Stars Dao Court. His Fortune did not decrease but instead increased, even becoming a notch higher than before!

Becoming a subsidiary force was originally a mutually beneficial matter. Apart from the nominal status, there wouldn't be any major losses.

The principle of 'it's easy to stay cool under a big tree' applied here, and now, Su Yuan was that big tree!

The Blood Moon Dao Lord had already set an example.

Su Yuan calmly looked towards the second envoy.

This second envoy was an Elder from the True Knowledge Dao Court, possessing the strength of sixteenth-order fused Dao Principles, but he was not the Dao Lord of the True Knowledge Dao Court.

"Please forgive us, Seven Stars Dao Lord. The True Knowledge Dao Lord has entered deep seclusion and is unable to come personally. I represent the True Knowledge Dao Court in coming to offer congratulations."

Su Yuan looked at him calmly.

This Elder, however, was extremely nervous, his heart filled with even more fear and unease.

Steeling himself, he presented a gift list.

Nangong Xianweng, standing beside him, took it and announced, "The True Knowledge Dao Court offers congratulatory gifts, totaling three items: one sixteenth-order fused Dao Treasure, one large Mineral Vein with reserves of seven hundred trillion trillion Dao Yan Crystals, and Dao Yan Crystals totaling one hundred trillion trillion!"

Now, the difference was clear!

The total value of the True Knowledge Dao Court's gifts added up to at most nine hundred trillion trillion Dao Yan Crystals. Although such an amount was already extremely considerable, compared to the Blood Moon Dao Court, it fell far short!

Seeing this, Su Yuan nodded slightly and casually waved his hand.

A jade box appeared in that Elder's hand.

"Hmm, the True Knowledge Dao Court is thoughtful. This is the return gift for you!"

The jade box opened automatically, revealing a full ten pieces of Chaos Jade Marrow inside!

The Elder trembled as he received the Chaos Jade Marrow. This amount of Chaos Jade Marrow was enough to take back and satisfactorily report to the True Knowledge Dao Lord. However, Su Yuan did not say anything about taking the True Knowledge Dao Court as a subsidiary Dao Court. Now the Elder understood the seriousness of the situation.

His Incarnation had already urgently contacted the True Knowledge Dao Lord, requesting him to come immediately.
