Chapter 471: The New Discount Version!

The Demon World simply had too many demon souls.

Ten Thousand Souls Banner had overinflated his claims, and in the end, he couldn't take all the demon souls away, only three hundred million.

Chen Yi thought that was more than enough.

These three hundred million demon souls needed to lie dormant within Ten Thousand Souls Banner, waiting for the moment they became Ghost Cultivators before they could truly be put to great use.

And the loyalty of these demon souls to Chen Yi went without saying.

They were originally undead; Chen Yi gave them a chance at life, a chance to fight across heaven and earth once more, so even dying in battle would be worth it.

In fact, true death was a release for these demon souls, because those thirty thousand years of wandering in the Demon World were pure torment.

One could imagine how desperately these demon souls would fight on the battlefield in the future, since they won either way, dead or alive.

Bringing Sotuofeiren, the Five Talented Brothers of Xuanlan, Hu Tiangong, the Qilin Soul, and three hundred million demon souls, Chen Yi returned to the human world.

Sotuofeiren and the Five Talented Brothers of Xuanlan took up their posts on the spot, becoming guards of the Chen Mansion in Baiyun County.

Hu Tiangong, the Qilin Soul, and the three hundred million demon souls had to stay inside Ten Thousand Souls Banner at all times, because the moment they showed themselves in the human world, they would be dragged away by the power of the Underworld.

On a side note, because the space inside the banner was running low, many of Ten Thousand Souls Banner's abilities could not be used.

But when it truly came time to use Ten Thousand Souls Banner, it was simple enough, just refine a few souls on the spot to free up some space.

Before officially beginning the seventh simulation, Chen Yi first found a secluded spot in the human world and upgraded all the Immortal Artifacts he regularly used.

"Reverse Engineering" to examine the blueprints and raw materials.

"Triple-Origin Body Tempering Mystic Art" to release Triple-Origin True Fire. This fire was superior to any earthly flame or natural fire source for artifact forging.

Second Grade artifact forging skill, done entirely by hand.

"Enhancement!" to boost the quality of the finished products.

Demon Refining Pot, Immortal-Binding Rope, Heavenly Dragon Blade, Primordial Chaos Armor, Lightning-Chasing, Thunder-Racing Boots, Nine Crows Divine Bow.

Chen Yi forged Super Immortal Artifact-grade artifact bodies for the six Immortal Artifacts, just like the current Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

In this way, once they arrived in the Real Realm, like Ten Thousand Souls Banner in the sixth simulation, their artifact spirits would not be temporarily suppressed and vanish due to the world's rules.

At the same time, according to the artifact quality classification of the Real Realm, they were now all acquired Spiritual Treasures!

"Hey, would you believe it? Suddenly having to part with my own body, I'm actually a bit reluctant."

The Demon Refining Pot's artifact spirit flew out from the Demon Refining Pot, staring at his old body, actually feeling quite sentimental.

Ten Thousand Souls Banner teased him.

"Never thought you, old head steward, would be such a sentimental guy. Buddy, I misjudged you before."

Then, the Demon Refining Pot entered his new body.

"Yo! This silky smooth spiritual power control! These massively enhanced Immortal Artifact techniques! This perfectly fitting body! It's the real authentic authentic authentic authentic deal! I feel like I've been reborn, this is the top of the top!"

Ten Thousand Souls Banner said with disdain.

"Buddy, I was right about you all along."

The several Immortal Artifacts entered their new bodies one after another.

Regarding the new artifact bodies Chen Yi had forged for them, all the Immortal Artifacts sang their praises, with rave reviews across the board.

Looking at the Immortal Artifacts that had lost their artifact spirits, Chen Yi picked them up.

"Alright, now these can be returned."

Immortal-Binding Rope was originally borrowed by Chen Yi from other factions in the human world, so of course, it had to be returned.

But he never guaranteed it would be returned in the same condition as the original.

Wan Sanqian looked at the Immortal Artifact in his hands that had no artifact spirit, unable to voice his complaints.

"Sect Master Wan, there's no harm in speaking your mind."

"No, it's nothing. Lord Chen Martial God went through the trouble of traveling here. You only needed to send word, and I would have come to retrieve it myself."

"I know, the artifact spirit is gone."

"Oh, oh, is that so? I really didn't notice that."

"Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you."

Chen Yi raised his hand, and a mountain of precious artifact forging materials piled up at the mountain gate of the Myriad Methods Sect.

Wan Sanqian was stunned on the spot.

"M-my god..."

Among those sparkling rare spiritual materials, Wan Sanqian could recognize less than a tenth.

"These are for you, enough to forge another batch of Immortal Artifacts. But remember to find a better artifact forger, don't waste them."

"Y-yes..."

Wan Sanqian's eyes could no longer tear themselves away from those materials.

When returning the other Immortal Artifacts, Chen Yi did the same thing.

Using materials as compensation.

And with that, both parties were square.

Immortal-Binding Rope and the others now truly belonged to Chen Yi.

Chen Yi lost nothing.

Because these materials were all obtained for free from other planes, and he hadn't used them all up during forging.

When Chen Yi returned to Baiyun County once again, another dark night had fallen.

"Welcome home, Master!"

Sotuofeiren was the first to welcome Chen Yi home.

Because of his outstanding performance, Chen Yi had promoted him from guard captain to Grand Steward of the Chen Mansion, holding full authority over the dozens of servants within the estate.

Talk about a leap, being promoted from city lord of one city to mansion steward of one estate.

Seeing Sotuofeiren acting like such a loyal lackey, the Five Talented Brothers of Xuanlan felt deeply disgusted, but in front of Chen Yi, they still acted reverent.

Chen Yi could hear all their inner thoughts.

Sotuofeiren was truly willing to pledge his loyalty, because he believed the one he followed was an unmatched super powerhouse, unprecedented and unrivaled.

Perhaps in the future, he could follow Chen Yi to see a broader world and obtain benefits beyond his current imagination.

The Five Talented Brothers of Xuanlan were purely subjugated by force, unable to resist, so they could only comply.

"Master, would you like to dine first or bathe first? If dining, the kitchen has prepared the meal. If bathing, the water is ready. There are also a few young ladies..."

"No need, I can take care of myself. You just look after Da Chun and Black Wind."

"Yes!"

Sotuofeiren sidled up to Da Chun, who was gnawing on a peach.

"Master Chun, would you like to dine first or bathe first?"

"Heh heh, I want to eat."

"Very well, no problem, right this way~"

Chen Yi couldn't help but shake his head at this Martial God, once the lord of a great city in the Winged Realm.

"Black Wind, I brought you some gifts."

Chen Yi arrived at the courtyard where Black Wind was, and poured out a storage pouch full of dragon pearls.

These were all picked up by Chen Yi when he accidentally injured members of the Dragon-Man tribe in the Dragon-Man Realm.

Seeing so many dragon pearls, Black Wind drooled on the spot.

"Boss, are all these for me?"

"Take your time evolving."

"Yes, Boss!"

Afterwards, Chen Yi sat down under the tree in the backyard and opened the System.

"Time for the seventh simulation. Let me draw some trait tags first."

[Guidance Mission Completed!]

[Rewards Distributed!]

[Simulation Count +1!]

[Epic or above Premium Trait +1!]

A ball of light formed from trait tags appeared before Chen Yi's eyes.

Each point of light within represented a trait tag.

The color of these points of light was at least purple.

"Last time, I directly touched gold. I have a feeling it'll work this time too, puff!"

Chen Yi rubbed his hands together, then blew a hard breath, as if this superstitious ritual could increase his luck rate.

Then, at a speed fast enough to tear space itself, he fiercely grabbed at the few golden points among the cluster of light.

Brilliant golden light rapidly began to expand.

"Hmph! The speed and perception of the Extreme Terrain Realm, you think I'm joking?"

In reality, this was simply because Chen Yi's current chance of getting gold was higher, and it had nothing to do with how he grabbed the trait tags.

["New Discount Version" (Gold Legendary):

Who said discount versions of parts can't work? As long as they can run, that's all that matters!

You only need to touch an item with your hand to obtain its corresponding discount version.

The discount version guarantees similar performance to the original, but nothing else is guaranteed.

This trait can only take effect once per day, and the same item can only be discounted once (destroying the discount version allows re-discounting). You cannot discount a discount.

In terms of cost-effectiveness.]
