Immortality Starts With Investment

Chapter 664: Lan Nuoʼs Done Her Best!

Luo Bingling was furious, truly furious. She didnʼt know the Minor Space Technique, but Ye Chenʼs solemnity marked it as valuable. Sheʼd 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 Clanʼs monogamous tradition made her resistant. Soon, she recalled that barefoot womanʼs tactics…using nimble feet.

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

”This… too precious…”

Above, Lan Nuo trusted Ye Chenʼs judgment. A technique he valued was extraordinary. Needing a Space Divine Stone, he gave her something better. Heʼd 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 Continentʼs only true prodigy is you—donʼt be wishy-washy, or Iʼll look down on you!” He knew Lan Nuo too well. A show-off couldnʼt 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. Sheʼd thought two kids, one surnamed Lan, was enough. But Ye Chenʼs devotion—praising her, gifting her first—showed she was special.

Luo Binglingʼs 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, theyʼd notice. Would he cancel again? Thatʼd raise suspicions. She couldnʼt keep letting him lose face—she should reciprocate. Maybe study the Minor Space Technique now? Claim a breakthrough, say she canʼt suppress her realm, and must seclude, delaying the fight. Itʼd show her genius talent and reasonably postpone the battle…

Ye Chen ignored Lan Nuoʼs cool facade and racing thoughts, and Luo Binglingʼs competitive resolve to break her clanʼs traditions below. His mind focused on the systemʼs prompt.

”Congratulations, host, gift successfully given…”

”Gift: Minor Space Technique fragment!”

”4,000x feedback processing!”

”Detected: Gift matches recipientʼs mindset…”

”Triggered top-notch critical reward.”

”Feedback: Full Minor Space Technique with Immortal King Fang Hanʼs insights!”

”Feedback: Full Minor Teleportation Technique with Immortal King Fang Hanʼs insights!”

”Feedback: Full Minor Sealing Technique with Immortal King Fang Hanʼs 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 wasnʼt 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 Qingchengʼs 7,000x and a top critical, it mightʼve been possible. But Lan Nuoʼs 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, heʼd go anywhere, boosting survivability.

Minor Sealing Technique enhanced his combat options. The cultivation world wasnʼt 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.
