Golden List Live: I Really Can't Hide Anymore!

Chapter 302: The Envy of the Crowd!

If these two rewards were directly placed before him, the accuracy of his selection wouldn't matter much. However, since this was a reward from the Golden List, even if it was slightly inferior to others, it still held significant value.

Still, he had to make a choice. If he didn't, who knew what the treasure would transform into? From the beginning of the Golden List revelations, no one had refused to claim their treasure.

Zhunti definitely didn't want to be the first to do so, so he casually selected one of the two rewards.

[Zhunti: I choose the Purifying Water!]

He chose the Purifying Water because it might have some niche uses. In case there were things in Buddhism that couldn't be eliminated through other means, this water could potentially help.

After all, it was a reward from the Golden List and likely possessed unique properties. Keeping it was a decent decision, as the other reward seemed even less useful.

A small world held no value to him. If Zhunti wished, he could cultivate a Buddha Kingdom in the Palm—a divine ability capable of housing numerous beings. It was not only more convenient than the small world but also more stable.

After Zhunti made his choice, no one else voiced objections. Most even agreed it was a sensible decision.

However, the other saints could clearly discern his dissatisfaction. For him, this reward was not only useless but also a waste of his time.

The rewards continued to be distributed, much like the earlier stages. When the 73rd-ranked reward appeared, the atmosphere shifted.

[Weapon List 73rd Reward: Recipe for the Ninth-Rank Golden Body Pill, Shennong]

[The Ninth-Rank Golden Body Pill enhances the physical body of those below the Quasi-Saint realm!]

Shennong, ranked 73rd, initially had low expectations for his reward. He merely hoped for something decent and useful. Yet, this reward exceeded his wildest hopes.

While it might be deemed worthless by some, it was incredibly valuable to him. The Ninth-Rank Golden Body Pill was an extraordinary elixir that directly strengthened the physical body, a rarity in the world of cultivation.

In the vastness of the primordial world, few focused on cultivating their physical body due to the high requirements and complexity involved. Hence, powerful body cultivators were scarce.

If Shennong could produce these pills, the physical bodies of those who consumed them could reach a formidable level. Of course, there were limitations.

Even the most potent elixir couldn't indefinitely enhance a body, but it could make achieving the pinnacle much easier without overly complicated cultivation processes.

Shennong was more than satisfied with this reward. Observers, too, expressed their amazement.

[Bai Ze: What a great reward! Shennong, if you manage to craft some, please save one for me!]

[Nezha: I'm interested too. If you could spare me one, I'd be most grateful!]

[Sun Wukong: Me too! I want one as well!]

Shennong was renowned as one of the best alchemists in the primordial world, so no one doubted his ability to refine these pills.

For Shennong, however, it wasn't all good news. The materials required for crafting the Ninth-Rank Golden Body Pill were exceedingly rare, and the process was incredibly intricate.

Although he had the skills to refine it, the time, effort, and resources required were monumental. Moreover, there was a chance of failure during the process.

He wasn't confident in succeeding on the first attempt, though he believed multiple attempts might yield results. The real concern was whether he could gather enough materials for even one attempt. Without sufficient resources, not a single pill could be crafted.

This led Shennong to think of Laozi. Earlier, Laozi had offered to lend him a superior alchemy furnace. Using it, Shennong's chances of success would significantly increase.

Moreover, Laozi's alchemy skills surpassed his own. By learning from Laozi, he could address some of his doubts and improve his refining techniques.

This approach was undoubtedly more efficient than struggling on his own.

For most, Shennong's reward elicited envy but little else. Such rewards were only useful to those with exceptional alchemy skills. Even the strongest cultivators couldn't make use of it without the requisite knowledge.

Shennong's success in obtaining this reward was entirely due to his mastery of alchemy.

Once this reward was claimed, the rankings continued to progress. Soon, it was time to announce the 75th rank—a position everyone was keenly interested in.

The owner of this rank was none other than Ye Tian, a name that had become infamous in the primordial world.

Though Ye Tian's name was familiar, he remained an enigma, making others uneasy. His name had appeared too frequently, yet no one truly understood who he was or what he looked like.

Despite his lower ranking here, Ye Tian had already secured rewards from the top three rankings. Collectively, his rewards were more valuable than those of the remaining participants combined.

That said, the significance of rewards varied for individuals. Some treasures, even if less valuable overall, were perfectly suited to certain individuals, making them more valuable than anything else.

[A Post-Heavenly Spirit Treasure containing extreme ice power. Each swing releases a glacier and possesses immense destructive potential.]

For Ye Tian, this treasure was practically useless. However, for others, it was a substantial enhancement to their strength.

Upon seeing this item, most weren't overly surprised. Such treasures were relatively common. Compared to other rewards, ordinary treasures were likely the least valuable to someone like Ye Tian.

However, this assumption only held for those who didn't understand Ye Tian. He wasn't as indifferent to treasures as they thought. With many subordinates under his command, treasures like this could still serve a purpose.

There was no need for him to keep it for personal use. Instead, it could be distributed among his followers, ensuring its potential was fully utilized.
