<h4>Chapter 1890 (Raw 1991, Raw 1901-1990 Nonexistent): Wager between Pce Masters</h4>


    In an ancient pce hall, Dragon Qi wafted around like clouds, looking ethereal and mysterious.


    Three Dragon Race cultivators, whose faces could not be clearly seen, sat in the host’s seats. There were a few other old men, who possessed auras simr to that of Elder Tian Yun, seated in the surrounding thrones.


    The three Dragon Race cultivators in the host’s seats in the center were the three Pce Masters that the Heavenly Dragon Pce’s core disciples usually could not see.


    The ones below were heaven-ss Elders, simr to Elder Tian Yun.


    These people had been paying attention to the core disciple test from the start to the end.


    “Not bad. The people participating in this test are much stronger than those in thest one. Any of these ten can be a heaven-ss core disciple.”


    “The best seed, Xiao Jinyu, was snatched away by Tian Yun. However, there are still Fang Tianyi and Qin Yan. These two are not much weaker than Xiao Jinyu. From what I saw, they were still holding back.”


    “Haha! They are right to hold back. This is just the beginning. Thepetitionter is the time to truly fight. Xiao Jinyu gained Tian Yun’s acknowledgment mostly because of his Sword Dao cultivation, on top of his bloodline.”


    “That little fellow’s Sword Dao cultivation is pretty good. There is still a lot of potential to dig out.”


    “However, these people are still a distance away from the current heaven-ss core disciples, Yi Xin, Li Luo, and Jue Yun. I wonder if one year can give them the chance to create a miracle.”


    “It is hard to say. Yi Xin, Li Luo, and Jue Yun are already too far ahead. However, as long as one of these ten can rival them, they will be able to help shoulder the pressure in the fight between the seven pces. That would already surpass our expectations.”


    The heaven-ss Elders discussed softly. They all seemed to have someone that they were interested in.


    The three Pce Masters in the center did not say anything.


    Suddenly, the Third Pce Master on the left said, “You all like those with the True Dragon bloodlines. However, I appreciate this Xiao Chen more. He does not have any of the shorings of a mixed-blood dragon. Even a Divine Dragon bloodline cultivator would find his poise and boldness convincing.”


    The mixed-blood dragon bloodlines came from humble beginnings. No matter how hard they worked, in an environment like the Divine Dragon Empire, they naturally had some ws, such as narrow-mindedness, an inferiorityplex, andck of experience. These were unavoidable.


    However, the few heaven-ss Elders did not add anything more, shaking their heads quietly.


    These heaven-ss Elders were practical people; they considered reality. There was an objective difference in talent and foundations between the True Dragon bloodlines and the mixed-dragon bloodlines.


    Unless one was extremely heaven-defying and possessed great Luck, one would find it very hard to rely on determination and so-called poise to make up for this difference.


    Although these heaven-ss Elders also valued Xiao Chen’s boldness, if they really had to choose, they would not waste their resources on him.


    “Haha! This is rare. Third Brother, you have always been a proud person, never taking disciples. You even rejected people with a Divine Dragon bloodline. However, I’m willing to bet that even if you personally make an appearance, this person might not agree,” said the Second Pce Master, who sat on the right among the people in the host’s seats, in a neutral tone while revealing a smile.


    The Third Pce Master grumbled unhappily, “What a joke. How about we make a wager on it, then? If I lose, I will personally refine ten Divine Dragon Grade Blood Transformation Pills. If you lose, give me your Jade Water Spirit Lotus.”


    “Haha! I was just waiting for you to say that. Deal!” the Second Pce Masterughed loudly, looking like his n had seeded.


    On hearing that the Third Pce Master was going to refine pills personally, the few heaven-ss Elders below looked over with an anxious gleam in their eyes.


    However, who knew, the moment they looked over, they saw nothing.


    The Third Pce Master had directly left in a huff.


    “Second Brother, it is not right of you to keep bullying Third Brother like that,” the previously silent First Pce Master said softly after a sigh.


    The Third Pce Master was rather reclusive and had a proud heart. Moreover, he could not understand certain things. He could not tell that Xiao Chen was actually like him.


    Xiao Chen held some anger in his heart. He would want to rely on his own strength to make Elder Tian Yun regret today’s decision.


    The Third Pce Master was like Xiao Chen. They both kept their pride inside. Even if the Third Pce Master went personally, the result would be the same.


    The First Pce Master and the Second Pce Master were both experienced people. They could see this with just one look.


    In reality, the two of them quite admired Xiao Chen’s boldness and strength of character. However, they knew that they would not seed, so they did not say anything.


    Only this Third Pce Master could not help acting on his thoughts when he saw this rare strength of character and a temper that waspatible with his own.


    “I’ll give you three pills, alright? With Third Brother doing it, the Divine Dragon Grade Blood Transformation Pills will definitely be 9-Star quality. Coincidentally, you can use them for that disciple of yours, as he can make a breakthrough,” the Second Pce Master saidzily.


    “After the matter is over, directly send it to Li Luo,” the First Pce Master, who was sighing earlier, said softly before leaving quietly.


    “Second Pce Master, Second Pce Master, give us one as well.”


    Although these heaven-ss Elders did not believe that Xiao Chen would reject the Third Pce Master, they saw that even the First Pce Master believed it, so they rushed forward to ask for Medicinal Pills to give to their own disciples.


    “Haha! Go ask Third Brother yourselves.”


    The Second Pce Masterughed loudly, and his figure slowly immaterialized, turning vague until he vanished from the throne.


    —


    After silently leaving the za, Xiao Chen took the core disciple’s identity token and entered the inner pce under the lead of an administrator.


    “Xiao Chen, this is the residence that the Heavenly Dragon Pce arranged for you. It is beside a True Dragon Spirit Vein. From today on, you will cultivate here. Every month, the sect will give you a stipend of one thousand Primeval Heavenly Pills. This so-called Primeval Heavenly Pill is a Medicinal Pill refined from natural treasures and augmented with Spirit Jades. You core disciples could be said to be receiving an extremely high allocation of resources from the sect. The inner pce disciples only receive one hundred Primeval Heavenly Pills every month.


    “This Primeval Heavenly Pill can be used not only as a Medicinal Pill but also as currency in the Great Thousand Realms.”


    This administrator had seen Xiao Chen’s strength at the za and was exceptionally respectful of him.


    When the administrator spoke to Xiao Chen, he was deferential and exined things in detail.


    Even the residence allocated to Xiao Chen was of superior quality. It was naturally much better to be closer to the Spirit Vein than farther.


    Thepetition within the Heavenly Dragon Pce was cruel. One could win the respect of others only with strength.


    Xiao Chen felt delighted with this arrangement. This Heavenly Dragon Pce was several times stronger than the Purple me Sect that he first saw.


    This ce was extremely suitable for Xiao Chen to cultivate in.


    “Cold Moon Cave.”


    When Xiao Chen saw the name of his residence, he nodded to himself, rather satisfied with it.


    While the name had the word “cave,” in reality, it was an entire mountain range that rose up and down, a boundlessly vast ce. There was a courtyard in the center of the residence, located in the middle of the mountains.


    “If there is anything, you cane and look for me anytime. Goodbye.” That administrator performed a cupped-fist salute after he finished exining.


    After the administrator left, Xiao Chen looked around the entire mountain range. This mountain range was incredibly expansive, boundlessly vast and unending.


    However, whenpared to the entire Heavenly Dragon Pce, it was still not worth mentioning.


    Such a strange scene was tough to imagine in the outer world. After all, the Heavenly Dragon Pce was right in the middle of Heavenly Dragon City.


    When looking from outside the city, who could imagine that the scene within it was so mysterious? This was indeed a great eye-opener.


    Cold Moon Cave happened to be in the middle of mountains. It was grand, equal to the size of a city outside.


    This situation seemed to be intentionally set up by an expert, with Spiritual Energy pouring in.


    The Spiritual Energy in the surrounding mountain summits continuously flowed into Cold Moon Cave, looking like clouds or fog.


    Spiritual fog lingered around the residence, refreshing one’s spirit.


    Underneath Cold Moon Cave, there was definitely a great formation under the mountain range that connected to the Spirit Vein. This would allow the core disciples residing there to use the formation to directly absorb the Spirit Vein for cultivation. It was indescribably wondrous.


    No wonder so many people fought so hard to be a core disciple.


    Such treatment was simply extravagant.


    “This True Dragon Grade Spirit Vein is probably connected to at least one hundred mountain ranges. Just one Spirit Vein split between one hundred mountain ranges is still able to produce such dense and pure Spiritual Energy. If one could monopolize it, the benefits would be unimaginable.”


    Xiao Chen sang praises for the Spirit Vein. It was truly an eye-opener. What Tang Dan said that day was not exaggerated at all.


    With the identity token on his body, Xiao Chen leaped into the air and passed through manyyers of restrictions. Then, he arrived at his residence.


    He let out the Demon Blood Vulture, which had been stifled for a long time. This silly bird stretched its wings and flew high in the sky. As it surveyed the vast cave residence, it felt incredibly excited.


    The energy is really strong. Unfortunately, it is all the Righteous Dao’s Spiritual Energy. If it were Demonic Qi, I would be full from just one breath. I would not even have to eat meat.”


    After flying around and getting over its excitement, the Demon Blood Vulture felt some disappointment.


    Suddenly, the Demon Blood Vulture’s sharp eyes saw an old man walking in from the outside.


    Master, there is an old man stupidly walking over here. He is really stupid. Walking is very tiring. It would be much faster to fly.


    Xiao Chen, who was familiarizing himself with Cold Moon Cave’syout, did not pay much mind to this when he heard it.


    “Go over and take a look first. If it is just some random person, don’t let them in. I’lle over in a while.”
