I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Refining Essence and Returning to Truth

Han Zhan, Li Lingzhen, Youwei.

The three of them sat together in a circle, the atmosphere slightly awkward.

”Uh, are you sure it’s okay not to wear anything?” Han Zhan averted his gaze, kindly reminding.

Li Lingzhen shook her head nonchalantly, ”This is my most comfortable state at home. Maintaining this state helps me find inspiration and create.”

”Create?” Youwei repeated.

”Yes, didn’t my grandpa tell you guys? I’m an online bestselling author.”

Li Lingzhen’s words made Han Zhan and Youwei turn to look, not expecting she had such a talent.

”What’s your pen name? I’ll go have a look.” Youwei quickly asked to show support.

”It’s banned, sealed off online.”

”...”

Han Zhan and Youwei suddenly understood why Li Shutong never mentioned that his granddaughter wrote books.

”What about you guys? Should we continue after interrupting you?”

Li Lingzhen’s words made Youwei’s face flush red, and Han Zhan coughed lightly a couple of times, not picking up the topic.

”If you’re not going to continue, then let’s continue.” Seeing their reaction, Li Lingzhen nodded and again spoke to Han Zhan.

”Huh?!” Han Zhan and Youwei simultaneously raised their heads, looking at Li Lingzhen in shock.

One had to admit, Li Lingzhen had quite the ”charm,” and coupled with her extremely youthful face, she was appealing to all ages.

Han Zhan’s heart embarrassingly skipped a beat.

”No way!” Youwei protested, standing up immediately.

”You two just met for the first time, without any emotional foundation. How can you be so rash?”

”Why do you need an emotional foundation for signing a contract?” Li Lingzhen asked, completely puzzled.

”You mean signing a contract?”

”Yes, otherwise what did you think I meant?”

Li Lingzhen blinked on purpose, looking all innocent and naive. If she weren’t an author of banned bestsellers, Han Zhan might’ve believed her.

Realizing Li Lingzhen was deliberately teasing them, Han Zhan had to change the subject quickly.

”Your E Level talent indeed possesses divinity and can form a contract with me to undergo a second awakening through Divine Radiance.”

”Really?” Li Lingzhen asked, her face full of joy.

Originally, in Sea City, she was unwilling to meet Li Shutong, but when Li Shutong mentioned Han Zhan’s SSS Level talent, she agreed to return to Deep Blue City to give it a try.

Now, hearing confirmation straight from Han Zhan, Li Lingzhen was genuinely delighted.

”Then let’s quickly start the contract!”

Li Lingzhen said and, impatiently, began unbuttoning her pajamas, her hand immediately stopped by Han Zhan.

”Wait, wait, what are you doing?”

”Signing a contract?”

”What does signing a contract have to do with taking off clothes?” Han Zhan looked at Li Lingzhen in shock and asked, puzzled.

”Eh? In my books, contracts are completed only after close contact.” Li Lingzhen answered with frankness.

Han Zhan and Youwei’s faces turned black at these words.

Her books being banned wasn’t without reason.

Han Zhan shook his head, not wanting to waste words with Li Lingzhen, this youthful-looking beauty seemingly full of risqué thoughts. If the conversation continued, he feared what outrageous move she might make next.

The familiar light of the contract array glowed,

Golden chains appeared on both Han Zhan and Li Lingzhen, binding them tightly together.

Simultaneously, Han Zhan suddenly opened his eyes and commanded sharply, ”Divine Radiance!”

Li Lingzhen only felt her entire body under Han Zhan’s Divine Radiance suddenly starting to heat up, and she instinctively tried to pull off her pajamas.

On her fair skin, intricate and mysterious patterns flickered,

These patterns also shimmered in gold, gradually peeling away from Li Lingzhen’s body under the continuous gaze of Divine Radiance, gathering above her head.

Finally, they coalesced into the form of an ancient great cauldron!

Ancient Divine Soldiers, Shennong Cauldron!

After completing the second awakening, Li Lingzhen’s information underwent a monumental change.

[Li Lingzhen, SSS Level Contracted Spirit.]

[Illusion Form, Ancient Divine Soldier - Shennong Cauldron.]

[Divinity, Refining Essence and Returning to Truth.]

Refining Essence and Returning to Truth: Can place spiritual power-rich materials or Insect Race materials inside, use the Shennong Cauldron to refine and extract the origin, eventually condensing spiritual power back to its true nature!

Amazing!

So amazing!

Realizing the significance of Refining Essence and Returning to Truth, Han Zhan was in awe.

Remember, as Li Shutong once said, one of the top five companies, Longevity Company, rose to power over nations due to possessing the means of refining spiritual power.

They not only made enormous profits but also attracted all Spirit Contract Masters and Contracted Spirits.

But now, Li Lingzhen’s Shennong Cauldron talent also possesses this capability!

Doesn’t that mean, in the future, there’s no need for Longevity Company to obtain pure spiritual power, enhance and breakthrough?

”This... is this my talent?”

Li Lingzhen looked at her hands in disbelief, understanding its significance as Li Shutong’s granddaughter.

The times are changing!

”Let’s try it now!” Han Zhan said eagerly.

At this moment, disregarding gender differences, Han Zhan immediately took out the spiritual power-rich materials from the Sumeru Ring.

Li Lingzhen nodded.

The next second, transforming into the Shennong Cauldron, Han Zhan stuffed the materials inside the cauldron.

”Wait, slower, too fast, it hurts!”

Li Lingzhen suddenly cried out, and Han Zhan paused slightly.

”Okay, alright, put it in.” Li Lingzhen adjusted the cauldron’s position, aiming the opening towards Han Zhan.

Han Zhan nodded and continued to insert materials into the cauldron.

After a while, Li Lingzhen’s voice called out again:

”Stop, stop! It’s full, don’t add any more!”

Next to them, Youwei’s mouth twitched, thinking that if she weren’t watching and only listening to the voices, her mind might wander to strange places.

Is this the power of a banned bestseller author?

Terrifyingly so.

Han Zhan also stood aside with a strange expression, listening to Li Lingzhen’s occasional coquettish and excited voice, feeling like he wasn’t holding spiritual materials but something indecent.

But it was completed in any case.

In the Shennong Cauldron, now overflowing with materials, under Li Lingzhen’s urging, it emitted a dazzling light.

The materials were visibly digested, turning into tiny white light points.

These white light points continuously gathered in the Shennong Cauldron, eventually condensing into pure white elixirs.

Roughly counted, there were nine pills.

After refining, the Shennong Cauldron could no longer maintain its divine artifact form, reverting to Li Lingzhen’s human form, her body drenched in sweat, collapsing into Han Zhan’s arms.

”How come there are so many, you are amazing...”

Han Zhan: ”...”

Youwei: ”...”
