The Supreme Being Against Heaven
Chapter Summary
“Master… the fifth point you mentioned just now, are those the three conditions you want your disciple to accept going forward?” Shen Subing smiled sweetly and immediately said, “Master… whether it is three conditions or even three hundred, I will accept all of them!” Seeing Shen Subing, who had once been cold and indifferent, now showing such humility, Tan Yun was nearly stunned. You guessed correctly.” Tan Yun coughed lightly, then continued in a confident tone: “First—when we meet in private,...
“Master… the fifth point you mentioned just now, are those the three conditions you want your disciple to accept going forward?”
Shen Subing smiled sweetly and immediately said, “Master… whether it is three conditions or even three hundred, I will accept all of them!”
Seeing Shen Subing, who had once been cold and indifferent, now showing such humility, Tan Yun was nearly stunned.
“Hmm… I never thought you could be so sweet-talking, but you are clever. You guessed correctly.”
Tan Yun coughed lightly, then continued in a confident tone:
“First—when we meet in private, you may call me ‘Master,’ but in front of others, you may not use that title without permission.”
“Second—unless I wish to tell you, do not ask about my identity, and do not look directly at me.”
“Third—from now on, as my disciple, I will give you gifts later, but you will not be a free disciple… you must give me 20 million medium-grade spirit stones per month, for 3 years.”
Shen Subing’s beautiful eyes widened in shock.
“Master… you… you are asking me to send 2 billion low-grade spirit stones every month!”
“How can you say ‘asking’?” Tan Yun frowned, slightly puzzled, his tone serious. “You must say ‘grateful.’ Do you understand what gratitude means?”
“Yes, Master,” Shen Subing lowered her head.
“Master… if I wish to show respect to you, where should I go?”
“That can be discussed later.”
Tan Yun sighed. “Fine… to be honest, my pockets are a bit empty right now, so I came down from the mountain. Subing, how many spirit stones do you currently have?”
“Respectfully, Master, I have a total of 70 billion low-grade spirit stones with me.”
Tan Yun, under his turtle shell, laughed heartily in a relaxed tone.
“You will respect me for 3 years, 24 billion per month, totaling 72 billion over 3 years. Let’s do this… give me all 70 billion now, and the remaining 2 billion will be a small gift. I will overlook it.”
“Ah…” Shen Subing knelt, looking pitiful, reaching out her slender finger to touch Tan Yun’s right arm, trying to coax him.
“Master… as the top disciple of the sect, how can I survive without your guidance? Can you reduce it to 50 billion?”
“Haha, that won’t work,” Tan Yun remained unmoved but felt a surge of pride in his heart. With a flick of his wrist, he presented a golden ring engraved with twelve golden dragons.
“Disciple… put all your spirit stones into this ring.”
Before Tan Yun could tell Shen Subing to place the spirit stones inside and return it, she didn’t wait.
Seeing Tan Yun’s heart race, Shen Subing released his arm and grabbed the Celestial Ring with a mischievous look in her eyes.
“Thank you, Master, for giving me the ring. Thank you for this gift. I’m so happy, hehe.”
Shen Subing stood up with joy, her pale cheeks revealing an unhidden smile.
“Twelve golden dragons… they seem alive! The Sky-Fallen Ring is truly beautiful!”
Excitement surged. Shen Subing frowned slightly at Tan Yun.
“Ah? Master… why can’t I see its grade? Is it a treasure or a sacred item?”
“Hmm…” Tan Yun’s forehead was lined with stress. “Subing! Sorry… this ring isn’t actually for you… but…”
Shen Subing didn’t let him finish, puffed her cheeks, and shook his right arm, her eyes 30% angry, 70% coaxing.
“Disciple really likes it. Please give it to me, Master!”
“Who wouldn’t like such a beautiful ring?” Tan Yun pretended to be angry. “Quick, put your spirit stones back and return them to your Master.”
“Alright…” Shen Subing muttered reluctantly. “You are really mean.”
“Do you really like it?” Tan Yun asked sternly.
“Yes, I really like it!” Shen Subing nodded rapidly, like a chick clinging to a grain of rice.
“This ring… Master created it for an old friend long ago. It is very valuable. If you truly desire it, I will give it to you, but you must never lose it.”
“Thank you, Master! I will remember!”
The moment Shen Subing projected her spiritual perception into the Celestial Ring, her beautiful eyes were filled with utter fear.
“Master… this ring is far vaster than I imagined… it spans over 3,000 li! What… what… what grade is it really?”
“You will not know its grade even if I tell you. Remember only this—its value is incalculable,” Tan Yun said evenly. “The interior space of the ring stretches over 10,000 li. Since you are my only disciple at the moment, I give it to you as a gift.”
Hearing that the ring’s internal space spanned 10,000 li, Shen Subing was astonished. She gazed at Tan Yun with eyes full of respect, sparkling brightly.
“Master… did you really forge this ring?”
She could hardly believe that her Master could compress 10,000 li of space into a single ring. His skill in crafting weapons and his power must be so high it was almost incomprehensible, like a magical prison that seals everything.
“Why would I lie to you?” Tan Yun said gloomily. “If you desire it, then take good care of it. Otherwise, I will regret giving it to you.”
“Hehe… Master is so kind! Thank you, Master!” Shen Subing smiled sweetly and hurriedly stored the sky-blue ring.
“Master… what is the name of this ring?”
“The Dragon-God Ring, or another name, the Divine Ring,” Tan Yun’s voice carried a tinge of sadness, recalling the great Golden Dragon God he had bid farewell to forever in the Valley of the Fallen Gods.
“I will remember, Master!” Shen Subing said with a wholehearted smile.
“Now, quickly give me the spirit stones,” Tan Yun said firmly as the auction drew near. “Do not hesitate. Compared to the value of the Divine Ring, your spirit stones are negligible.”
“Master, please do not be angry. I will comply,” Shen Subing smiled, then removed her medium-grade Qiankun Ring from her finger, emptied all its contents, and offered both hands to Tan Yun.
“Master… all my spirit stones are here.”
Then she returned the Sacred Ring to her finger.
Tan Yun directly put the Qiankun Ring into his bag and said firmly, “The auction is about to start. I must handle something important. Hand me the blank jade now.”
“Oh…” Shen Subing watched curiously. Her Sacred Ring glowed with golden light. She handed the blank jade to Tan Yun with both hands.
She wondered what Master intended to do with the blank jade…
Tan Yun held the blank jade and used his spiritual power to imprint writing lines onto it with his soul.
After only a few breaths, Tan Yun returned the blank jade to Shen Subing in an even tone.
“This was originally a gift from your Master. Keep it.”
“It’s from Master…” Shen Subing received the blank jade with both hands, immediately projecting her spiritual perception into it. Her soft body shivered.
This blank jade contained three methods for refining elixirs to restore the soul, each using different herbs!
Moreover, every step of the refinement process was explained in detail—timing for combining properties, colors, and key points for refining dozens of herbs, covering all dimensions!
Anyone who applied these three methods in practice would gain immense experience and advance greatly in alchemy.
After reading, Shen Subing instantly became enlightened, entering a deep trance of profound understanding.
