Chen Xuan retracted his violent, terrifying fist technique, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face. After having this piece of Azure Dragon Scale Gold embedded, his combat power would indeed receive a qualitative boost. Although Chen Xuan knew the three major properties of the Azure Dragon Scale Gold could only be maintained for a very short time, that was enough for him; whenever he encountered an opponent he couldn't quite defeat, he could use the Azure Dragon Scale Gold as a trump card to turn defeat into victory. Moreover, Chen Xuan had achieved this increase in power without even breaking through the critical bottleneck of the Great Perfection of the Creation Realm.
Consequently, Chen Xuan expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Pao Ban: "Old Pao, thank you for helping me embed the Azure Dragon Scale Gold. From today on, you are one of the few friends of this Evil Emperor."
"I am truly flattered," Pao Ban replied with a laugh, clearly pleased that he could befriend the Evil Emperor, whose reputation was so formidable in the outside world. Pao Ban knew he would never break through to the Star Realm in his lifetime, but Chen Xuan was very likely to become a top-tier cultivator in the future. Being able to tell others that he was friends with the Evil Emperor was, for Pao Ban, worth it for the prestige alone—he lived in the Ember City, where the values were completely different from the outside world, and boasting was one of his greatest pleasures.
