Chu Chen quickly walked over when he saw the situation.

"Brother Wu, why are you here too?"

"Aren't I waiting for you?"

"Could it be that the Soul Ascension Pill is ready?"

"Smart, here is the Soul Ascension Pill and some of the materials on the list, but many materials can't be gathered in a short time, and quite a few can't be bought with money." Saying this, he handed over a Spatial Ring.

Chu Chen took the Spatial Ring and said with a smile, "It's alright, I'm not in a hurry anyway."

Wu Yingxiong nodded upon hearing this and said, "This time we've made quite a bit of money, 50% more than before. You won't need this much money to purchase those materials. I've calculated, and you should still have over a billion left. I'll have someone deliver it to you tomorrow."

Chu Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother Wu, no need to be so polite. Just keep that money with you for now. Today I happened to obtain a piece of Ruyi Iron; could you find someone to forge a staff for me?"

Wu Yingxiong asked in some confusion, "Why are you forging a staff?"

"I plan to have my Guardian Beast use it."

"Do you have any specific requirements for this staff?"

After contemplating for a moment, Chu Chen said with a smile, "This staff is for the Guardian Beast. With Ruyi Iron, its size should be able to change at will. As for the weight, it would be great if it could be adjusted freely, and if not, then make it as heavy as possible."

Wu Yingxiong nodded upon hearing this and said, "Changing the weight freely might be tricky. I remember an Earth Tier metal has the property of changing weight. Don't get your hopes too high, but I'll do my best to help you find it."

Chu Chen immediately showed joy upon hearing this and quickly thanked him, "Thank you so much, Brother Wu."

"We're brothers, no need to be so formal."

After a few exchanges of small talk, Wu Yingxiong left under the pretense of having matters to attend to.

The group left Entertainment Street and headed towards the food street.

This time, Dong Hanyang was unexpectedly generous, directly leading everyone to the best hotel on the food street for a good meal.

This meal cost millions, featuring all sorts of rare and exotic dishes, which were completely served up.

They drank until late at night, then ended the meal gathering.

After returning to the villa, Chu Chen circulated his Soul Power to expel the alcohol from his body.

Although being slightly tipsy helps with sleep, he had already wasted two days attending the Beast Betting Contest, and he didn't want to be surpassed by Leng Ningshuang and others.

Moreover, he intended to take the Soul Ascension Pill tonight to avoid any long dreams or delays.

However, since the Cyan Vine Water Python was still incubating, it should hatch before the Celestial Dragon Training Camp begins.

Chu Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, entering a meditation state. He planned to adjust himself to a peak state before using the Soul Ascension Pill.

About half an hour later, Chu Chen slowly opened his eyes and quickly took the porcelain bottle containing the Soul Ascension Pill from the Spatial Ring.

Without any hesitation, he pulled out the cork and poured out the Soul Ascension Pill.

The Soul Ascension Pill was only as big as a dragon's eye, milky white in color, with five pill patterns on it, clearly marking it as a Fifth-Grade Elixir.

Chu Chen scrutinized it for a while and found no abnormalities. Without hesitating, he directly swallowed the Soul Ascension Pill.

Once in his stomach, the pill quickly dissolved, and Chu Chen felt an intense and mysterious energy surge within his body.

Chu Chen dared not delay and absorbed it with all his might.

This mysterious energy, under his guidance, surged directly into his Soul Sea.

However, this mysterious energy didn't merge into the Soul Sea but rather into the soul holding the Soul Sea.

The relationship between them was like a bottle filled with water.

The soul is the bottle, and the Soul Sea is the water; this mysterious power is enhancing the bottle.

The medicinal effect persisted for a full hour before ending.

Chu Chen exited his meditation state, feeling like his soul had notably strengthened, and he could clearly perceive that, with his current soul strength, he could easily contract another Perfect Level Upper Grade Guardian Beast.

Chu Chen was extremely excited by this, and this state lasted for a full hour before it gradually faded.

Now, his cultivation resources were extremely abundant. Contracting another Guardian Beast posed no burden whatsoever, and his strength would increase by at least 30% with another one. The Guardian Beast's feedback would also enhance his cultivation speed.

All in all, the benefits he would receive far outweighed the resource investment.

After calming his emotions, Chu Chen brought out all the treasures he had obtained from the betting contest.

First was Shi Huai'an's Treasure Map, then Cang Jie's Starlight Lotus, and finally Hu Shi's black cloak.

The Starlight Lotus was circular, about a meter in diameter, with star-blue leaves surrounding it, resembling a lotus platform.

Chu Chen sat cross-legged on the Starlight Lotus and entered a meditation state.

Moments later, Chu Chen slowly opened his eyes, his gaze full of delight.

The effect of the Starlight Lotus was exactly as Cang Jie described, indeed able to enhance cultivation speed.

Chu Chen didn't put it away but instead waved his hand to summon Shadow Kill.

He then picked up the black cloak and draped it over Shadow Kill, closing his eyes to feel, discovering that Shadow Kill's aura suddenly disappeared.

The effect of this black cloak was even better than expected.

After interacting with Shadow Kill briefly, he fed it a Star Power Pill and let it cultivate on the Starlight Lotus.

Finally, Chu Chen's gaze landed on the Treasure Map.

Speaking of it, this Treasure Map was the biggest gain from the Beast Betting Contest.

If Shi Huai'an's words were credible, this Treasure Map relates to a Beast Taming Egg with Time Attribute.

It's known that among all Guardian Beasts, the most precious two types are Space Element and Time Element. In terms of rarity, the Time Element surpasses the Space Element.

Chu Chen held the Treasure Map in his hands, examining it closely.

The Treasure Map was about half a foot in size, depicting a river and several mountain peaks.

Chu Chen carefully checked the edges of the Treasure Map, finding that the right and bottom edges had signs of being cut, indicating the map might have been divided into four or more parts, leaving him quite helpless.

Putting together the Treasure Map is no easier than finding a needle in a haystack.

Chu Chen heaved a sigh and put the Treasure Map away.

Obtaining one piece is already lucky. Assembling it would still depend on luck, and he didn't dwell on it, leaving it to fate.

At this time, in a residential house at the northeastern corner of Cyan Dragon City, ten black-cloaked figures sat around a long table.

A thin black-cloaked figure took the main seat at the long table, while the others sat on either side.

"Everyone is here. Next, we should discuss how to exact revenge." The black-cloaked figure in the main seat said in a deep voice.

"This matter indeed requires careful planning. The Five Great Daoist Schools have killed many of our sect members over the years."

"Yes, especially Cyan Dragon Daoist School. This time we must make them pay with blood."

"Hmph, I'm looking for a plan, not just slogans." The black-cloaked figure in the main seat said coldly.

Everyone fell silent, not daring to speak another word.

A woman's voice emerged from the end of the dining table.

"Sect Leader, I heard the Five Great Daoist Schools cultivate some freshly awakened Soul Power geniuses every year. These Genius Training Camps are starting in a few days, and perhaps we can make a move there."

"We can't. As far as I know, these Genius Training Camps are guarded by experts, and the camp is filled with arrays. If we storm in rashly, it may be hard to retreat intact. Is Hall Master Leng suggesting we go to our deaths?"

"Hmph, does Hall Master Li have a better idea? Feel free to let everyone hear it."

"Although I haven't thought of a foolproof strategy yet, it's better than your idea."

"Enough, Hall Master Leng, since you dare to propose this idea, you must have a detailed plan. Let's hear it."

"Yesterday, I received some news about the Celestial Dragon Training Camp from a high-level person in the Cyan Dragon Daoist School."

"Oh, let's hear it. The address of the Celestial Dragon Training Camp is extremely confidential, and can only be reached by using a Teleportation Array. However, the training camp is far from Cyan Dragon City. The Teleportation Array cannot send us directly, requiring a second teleportation midway, and I have obtained the location of the second teleportation. We can ambush and capture these geniuses when they teleport over."

The Sect Leader fell into contemplation for a moment before asking in a deep voice, "Is the information reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable. That person has incriminating material in my hands and does not dare deceive me."

"Then we will set out tomorrow to avoid missing the opportunity."

"Sect Leader, please reconsider. I suggest verifying whether the information is truly reliable, lest we fall into a trap if that person is bait sent by the Cyan Dragon Daoist School."

"Your concern isn't without merit. Hall Master Leng, tomorrow you and Hall Master Li will further verify if the information is accurate."

The two quickly agreed upon hearing this.
