Invincible Starting from Max Level Attributes

In the Hua Family council hall, half of the people looked astonished, their eyes flashing with envy and jealousy as they watched Hua Youyue. The other half wore confused expressions, unsure of what had just transpired.

In Yang Zhen’s hand was something that looked like a cucumber—it sounded crisp and appeared tantalizingly appetizing as he bit into it. Yet, the reaction of the gathered individuals baffled everyone. Even the esteemed elders of the clan seemed flustered.

Could this insipid-looking cucumber be more valuable than the Seven Star Revelatory Pill?

At Xiao Ji’s question, everyone turned to gaze at the National Guru of Dajiang Country.

The National Guru of Dajiang Country squinted his eyes, then, upon closer examination, his eyes widened dramatically, all traces of sleepiness vanishing. As he opened his mouth to speak, the Three Clan Elders suddenly yelled in shock, their bodies shooting up from their seats.

“Quickly, Miss Youyue, open your mouth wide, it’s… oh my, it’s the Saint Spirit Root!”

“What?” Hua Youyue’s face paled in disbelief. She looked at the ‘cucumber’ in front of her. Yang Zhen had already taken several bites, leaving his bite-marks clear on the root, its juices soaking through. It was unknown if the moisture was the original juice of the Saint Spirit Root or Yang Zhen’s saliva.

But, this was the legendary Saint Spirit Root—the sanctified item for awakening spirits that countless people fantasized about. And here it was, being nonchalantly munched on by Yang Zhen.

Everyone stared at Yang Zhen, their expressions grave. They wished they could snatch away the Saint Spirit Root right then and there.

Such a rare treasure, and Yang Zhen was treating it like a simple cucumber snack?

Whooosh!

The council room was once again in an uproar with those who knew about the Saint Spirit Root gasping in astonishment, while those who were unaware of its significance quickly gathered information. Once they learned about its mythical properties, they collectively gasped.

The Saint Spirit Root was reportedly the only item in the world that could enable a practitioner below the Nascent Soul Stage to open their spirit sea, activate their divine consciousness, and suffer no pain in the process. No matter the cost, this was an item that countless individuals aspired to possess but had no means to procure.

And Yang Zhen had… had eaten so much of it!

The Medicine Elder cringed in distress. The Three Clan Elders covered their chests and returned to their seats, grumbling.

Seeing Hua Youyue spacing out, Yang Zhen shrugged and shoved the Saint Spirit Root into his mouth, intending to enjoy another bite.

Two slender hands shot out to grab Yang Zhen’s wrist, forcefully snatching the remaining Saint Spirit Root from him. The root, being too long, choked her, causing even Yang Zhen’s fingers to enter her mouth.

Crack!

Yang Zhen yelped in pain and retracted his stinging fingers.

This woman was too ruthless; she’d gulped down such a long root all at once?

Yang Zhen stared, dumbfounded, at Hua Youyue, muttering under his breath, “That was deep!”

Hua Youyue turned red up to her ears and quickly turned her head away, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Bang!

An intimidating burst of True Essence erupted from Hua Youyue, startling everyone present.

Hua Youyue’s face paled as she quickly sat down, cross-legged. A foggy aura began to coalesce above her head.

Rumbling!

An intimidating wave of energy erupted and surged violently above Hua Youyue’s head.

A moment later, Hua Youyue opened her eyes. Standing up with a peculiar expression, she stared at Yang Zhen in stunned silence before saying, “Thank you!”

“How is it? Was it successful?” the Medicine Elder asked in a worried tone as he approached Hua Youyue.

No one knew if Hua Youyue had successfully opened her spirit sea, as the Saint Spirit Root had been more than halfway consumed by Yang Zhen.

Hummm!

A breeze-like ripple swept across the council hall, causing everyone’s expressions to change dramatically.

“Divine consciousness, this is indeed divine consciousness!”

“Heavens! The Flower Tower Master is so young, yet she has already opened her spirit sea and activated her divine consciousness.”

Everyone looked at Hua Youyue with disbelief, and when they turned their eyes towards Yang Zhen, they were already fervent.

What other goodies did Yang Zhen possess on his person?

The national teacher of Dajiang Country looked deeply at Yang Zhen and took another look at the disheartened Xiao Ji. He shook his head and sighed and closed his eyes once more.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Ji’s mood changed again; he gazed at Yang Zhen with a gloomy stare. Where was the faintest trace of his former calm and confident demeanor?

Was he being toyed with?

He took out the Heavenly Spring Dew, and Yang Zhen brought out a jar of Colorful Cloud Dew. He took out a Seven Star Qi Ling Pill, bullying Yang Zhen for not recognizing the superb abilities of the senior alchemist, but in a blink of an eye, Yang Zhen produced a Holy Spirit Root and began crunching on it.

Crunch… crunch…

The strange noises came again, causing everyone’s heart to skip a beat. They instantly turned their heads towards Yang Zhen, their eyes twitching in unison.

Yang Zhen held a gigantic piece of fungus that was as big as a washbasin, gnawing at it with a crisp sound, mumbling unclearly: “Not bad, it really worked…”

“Shut up! Quickly, shut your mouth!”

As everyone stumbled in confusion, the Three Clan Elders sprung from their seats once again, looking at Yang Zhen with a face full of both joy and sorrow. Trembling, they asked, “Young friend Yang, can you show mercy? The item in your hand… is it Jade Ganoderma Lucidum?”

“What?” Hua Jingshan turned pale, looking strangely at the Three Clan Elders. He asked, “Jade Ganoderma Lucidum takes a thousand years to form, it looks like fungi but is as hard as jade, as small as a thumb and as big as a palm. But Yang Zhen’s…This large piece, is it really Jade Ganoderma Lucidum?”

Implied in his words was, Have you lost your mind? Jade Ganoderma Lucidum couldn’t possibly be that big, right?

The Three Clan Elders walked to Yang Zhen’s side trembling, regardless of whether it was excitement or old age. Their eyes shimmered with joy, and they kept saying:

“That’s right, it is indeed Jade Ganoderma Lucidum. I didn’t think I would have the chance to see it in my lifetime. Young friend Yang…can you… can you part with it?… Don’t worry, I don’t need much, just a piece the size of my palm!”

Everyone drew in a sharp breath, looking incredulously at the Three Clan Elders.

The usually stubborn and domineering Three Clan Elders had never shown such a demeanor. It was clear how important this Jade Ganoderma Lucidum was to them.

Everyone was stupefied by Yang Zhen. Given the Three Clan Elders’ status in the Hua Family, once they made a request, almost no one would oppose Yang Zhen destroying this marriage arrangement.

The Hua Family had agreed to consider this marriage proposal because they needed the support from the national teacher of Dajiang Country. Now, however, the items casually produced by Yang Zhen were extraordinarily precious. Not to mention opposing the marriage proposal, if they were to offer one instead, the Hua Family might immediately agree.

Who knew how many more treasures Yang Zhen had in his storage ring?

Yang Zhen stopped chewing, tilted his head and said, “What did you say? I didn’t hear you clearly. Can you say it again?”

“I was asking if you could…”

“Belch!” Yang Zhen let out a loud burp.

Hum!

A terrifying aura rose from Yang Zhen. He shuddered and said with some embarrassment: “Sorry, I couldn’t control it, I experienced a breakthrough all of a sudden.”

A breakthrough?

Everyone looked blank. Looking at Yang Zhen’s aura, sure enough, he had broken through to the Golden Core Stage.

No one knew why, but everyone present felt an inexplicable urge to curse.

Others spent a great amount of energy and resources on forming the Golden Pill, not to mention the fear of dealing with the backlash of True Essence if they failed.

Yang Zhen, however, was different. All he did was eat and eat, let out a burp, and just like that, he had his breakthrough, formed his Golden Pill, and become a Golden Core Stage Practitioner.

Just how gifted was this little bastard?

The corners of the mouth of the Three Clan Elders twitched. Despite being rudely interrupted by Yang Zhen’s burp, they couldn’t find it in themselves to be angry. Still smiling awkwardly, they said, “Young friend Yang is certainly a heaven-defying genius. May I ask…”

Yang Zhen waved his hand: “You want the Jade Ganoderma Lucidum, right? No problem. All you have to do is learn a song from me and I will give you a piece. How about it?”

This old thing was always speaking in a creepy, sing-song voice. Now that he sees something he wants, he becomes quiet and polite. He wants it?

No chance!
