Then, Liu Chen's gaze fell on the red iron treasure boxes obtained from Gu Yue Chishan and Gu Yue Moyan. He casually chose one red iron treasure box and opened it without hesitation.
The moment the treasure box lid was lifted, a dazzling light burst forth, causing Liu Chen to squint. After the light slightly dimmed,
"Reward obtained: (Innate Divine Power) Gain strength far beyond ordinary people," the System's prompt sounded in Liu Chen's ear.
Liu Chen was overjoyed, as the Innate Divine Power reward was undoubtedly like adding wings to a tiger for him. He could clearly feel the power surging within him.
However, what puzzled him was that despite the significant increase in his strength, his physical appearance remained unchanged. He couldn't help but clench his fist, and with just a lift of his hand, he raised the bed in the room, confirming that the improvement he gained was not an illusion.
"This should be Gu Yue Chishan's treasure box," Liu Chen thought to himself.
"Ten treasure boxes opened cumulatively, System Backpack activated. The System Backpack can only store reward items, and similar items can be stored up to nine hundred and ninety-nine."
When Liu Chen successfully opened Gu Yue Chishan's red iron treasure box, a crisp System prompt sounded in his ear. Simultaneously, a backpack-like icon suddenly appeared before him, alongside the various treasure boxes.
Liu Chen's heart stirred, and the backpack icon immediately unfolded as if controlled by his will, revealing a nine-grid backpack composed of nine squares. Each square appeared spacious and tidy, as if waiting for him to place various reward items within it.
"This System is truly amazing!" Liu Chen exclaimed.
"Not only has the System Backpack been activated, but it has also saved me the trouble of buying a storage Gu. Now I can leave the Mountain Village more calmly and continue opening treasure boxes! I wonder if new abilities will appear after opening a hundred treasure boxes?"
Thinking of this, Liu Chen was uncontrollably excited. With this System Backpack, he no longer had to worry about obtaining Gu from treasure boxes and then being troubled by the inability to bear the cost of nurturing them. The appearance of this backpack undoubtedly provided much convenience for his upcoming plans.
"Reward obtained: (Basic Melee Skills) Gain Peak Mortal combat skills."
As Gu Yue Moyan's treasure box was opened by Liu Chen, the System's voice sounded again, and a memory of various melee abilities immediately appeared in his mind.
The reward from Gu Yue Moyan's red iron treasure box was quite useful to Liu Chen. With Basic Melee Skills combined with Liu Chen's Innate Divine Power, his overall combat strength had surpassed that of an ordinary Rank 1 Gu Master. This filled him with confidence for the future.
However, Liu Chen was not satisfied with this. His gaze then fell on the silver treasure box obtained from Gu Yue Qingshu. This treasure box was a silver treasure box of the same Rank as a Third Rank Elder, which made Liu Chen's heart stir.
When he opened the silver treasure box and saw the reward inside, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Reward obtained: (Wooden Charm Gu): A Third Rank Wood Path Gu, capable of allowing a Gu Master to transform into a Wooden Charm."
This was a Third Rank Wood Path Gu, and its ability greatly astonished Liu Chen. The Wooden Charm Gu could not only transform him into a Wooden Charm, significantly enhancing the power of Wood Path Gu, but also accelerate the recovery of his true essence.
However, Liu Chen was also aware of the side effects of this Wooden Charm Gu. If he continuously activated the Wooden Charm Gu for a long time, he would be assimilated by the Wooden Charm Gu and eventually transform into a lifeless tree.
"To actually reward me with Gu Yue Qingshu's future vital Gu, this is truly unexpected! Although this Gu is powerful, it also has some limitations. It can only stop at Third Rank, and to refine it, I would need a Longevity Gu, which is a Material even Gu Immortals consider luxurious!" Liu Chen exclaimed while carefully examining the Wooden Charm Gu in his hand.
The appearance of this Gu was very ordinary, like a miniature banyan tree, completely inconspicuous. Liu Chen currently had no plans to use it, as with his current strength, he could not unleash the true power of this Gu. So, he immediately placed this Gu into the System Backpack, intending to consider how to use it later when his strength improved.
"Next, it's your turn!" Liu Chen's gaze turned to the last Golden Treasure Box, his eyes sparkling with excitement. This treasure box was the highest Rank treasure box he had obtained so far, and its value was comparable to the treasures of a Rank Four Gu Master. How could he not be excited?
He took a deep breath and unhesitatingly chose to open this Golden Treasure Box. Instantly, a dazzling golden light burst forth from the treasure box, as if the entire room was illuminated.
"Reward obtained: (Golden Relic Gu) Four-Turn consumable Gu, using it directly raises a Four-Turn Gu Master by one minor Realm," the System's prompt sounded in Liu Chen's ear.
"It's actually a Golden Relic Gu!" Liu Chen's eyes widened, his face full of pleasant surprise. This was a very precious Gu, an absolute dream treasure for a Four-Turn Gu Master, but for Liu Chen, a Rank 1 Gu Master, it was not as useful as a Wine Gu.
"It's just a pity that my current cultivation is too low, I can't use this Golden Relic Gu at all!" Liu Chen sighed helplessly, feeling a bit regretful.
However, he was not discouraged by this. He placed this Golden Relic Gu into the System Backpack, planning to use it later when he reached Four-Turn.
Since he had such a convenient item as the System Backpack, Liu Chen naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity. He quickly put all the various items opened from the treasure boxes, including the primeval stones he had obtained earlier, into the backpack.
Liu Chen looked at the full backpack, his heart filled with satisfaction. Especially the more than two thousand primeval stones made him exceptionally happy.
"What a fulfilling day, good night!" Liu Chen lay on the bed, closed his eyes contentedly, and fell into a sleep like that of an ordinary infant... Early the next morning, sunlight streamed through the window onto Liu Chen's face, and he slowly woke up. However, when he opened his eyes, he was surprised to find a wooden treasure box floating before him.
"Obtained Wooden Treasure Box × 1." The System's prompt sounded in his ear.
Immediately after, the wooden treasure box was opened directly, and another System prompt sounded: "Reward obtained: (Primeval Stones × 3)."
Before Liu Chen could react, three primeval stones appeared in his hand as if by magic.
