Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1159 - 561: Repairing the Exquisite Tower, The Seventh Layer’s Inner World (2)
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
The Seventh Layer of existence serves as a containment for demons deemed unkillable. Should the initial six layers prove insufficient, final sanctuary is found within the Realm of Eternity.
"Master, my recovery is finally complete now," the Exquisite Tower proclaimed, its voice filled with newfound wonder. Unblemished, it felt an unprecedented sense of wholeness, having undergone a process of shattering and subsequent rebuilding due to its injuries. This transformation significantly enhanced its spirituality, making it feel even more potent than during the Ancient Era.
"Not bad," Jiang Fan acknowledged with satisfaction. The Exquisite Tower's full recovery was a substantial boon to his combat capabilities. He possessed a multitude of Magical Treasures, but many remained incomplete, presenting a considerable challenge to repair.
Furthermore, the Exquisite Tower transcended the classification of a mere Top-grade Celestial Spiritual Treasure, aligning more closely with Sub-Immortal Artifacts. Only artifacts of such caliber could contain an entire world, a feat beyond ordinary Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures. Jiang Fan believed its future ascension to an Immortal Artifact was almost a certainty.
"However, calling the Exquisite Tower a medicinal garden seems less accurate than describing it as a colossal structure for imprisoning and refining demons. It is, in essence, a purgatory for demonic entities."
"It's no wonder it endured such severe assaults from countless demons during the Ancient Era, sustaining significant damage. After all, few Magical Treasures possessed the capabilities to contend with such formidable foes."
Jiang Fan recognized the Exquisite Tower's unique power: its ability to refine demon corpses, transforming them into valuable resources. This single function placed it leagues above most Magical Treasures, especially concerning the containment of demonic threats.
Demonic corpses, left untreated, act as potent pollutants. In time, they could contaminate vast stretches of land, rendering them barren and inhospitable for millennia. The genesis of the Demon Realm within the Spirit Ruins Realm was a direct consequence of such untreated corruption, an outcome that threatened the very existence of life.
Yet, the Exquisite Tower offered a revolutionary solution, capable of refining and purifying these hazardous remains.
"Still, the Spirit Ruins Realm appears to harbor a far greater population of demons and monsters compared to the Void Realm. It might be more advantageous to venture into the Spirit Ruins Realm to procure a substantial quantity of demon corpses, thereby accelerating the Exquisite Tower's growth."
Jiang Fan mused that while the Void Realm held many Ancient Demons, the immense passage of time had led to the demise of many lesser beings. Only the most powerful among them could endure there now. Consequently, the sheer numbers couldn't match the current abundance found in the Spirit Ruins Realm, which truly had become a land overrun by demons.
Acquiring a large cache of demon corpses from the Spirit Ruins Realm would serve a dual purpose: not only advancing the Exquisite Tower's power but also aiding the numerous cultivators there who sought a proper means to dispose of such dangerous remnants.
"Ah, and the members of the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall are continually expanding their numbers and have spread far and wide. With a small offering of an elixir, they should readily exchange demon corpses."
"This way, a multitude of demon corpses can be amassed without even leaving my immediate vicinity," Jiang Fan realized, a simple yet effective solution forming in his mind. If he were to collect them personally in the Spirit Ruins Realm, it would be an arduous and time-consuming endeavor. The collective efforts of numerous cultivators would inevitably yield far more than his solitary pursuits.
Moreover, every member of the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall was a Life Plate Cultivator, a genius in their right, holding significant influence within their respective factions. This facilitated the acquisition of demon corpses far more readily. The true advantage of establishing a faction became apparent: many cultivation resources could be obtained without personal intervention, leaving tasks to subordinates. Direct involvement in every matter would leave no time for actual cultivation, a clear misplacement of priorities.
"Currently, the Demon-Vibrating Bell, Great Sun Buddha Mirror, Gate of the Void, Flag of Equality, Taixu Hall, Seven-Colored Lotus Lamp, Ten Thousand Treasures Hall, Sky Ice Soul Pearl, and other Magical Treasures are all in a state of disrepair. If they could be fully restored, the consequences would be extraordinary."
Jiang Fan contemplated the numerous incomplete Magical Treasures he possessed, each holding the potential to become an Immortal Artifact, or perhaps, they were once such artifacts, now merely diminished in power.
“But there are still some complete treasures.” “For instance, the Human Emperor Sword, Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaf, Taiyi Five Smoke Net, Immortal Dew Bottle, Immortal Slaying Flying Saber, Demon Refining Pot, Human Emperor Banner, Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron, Primordial Talisman Pen, and so on are complete treasures with immense power.” Jiang Fan continued to ponder. Undoubtedly, he possesses an abundance of Magical Treasures. It is through numerous opportunities that he acquired so many treasures, truly deserving the title of Daoist Duobao. Even a typical cultivator obtaining just one of these treasures could rapidly rise and become a Child of Fortune. Only someone with extraordinary Destiny like him could acquire such a myriad of treasures, a dazzling array indeed. Currently, these treasures greatly benefit him. For example, the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron can refine Spirit Medicine and Elixirs, especially elixirs, turning ordinary ones into Perfect Level Elixirs without any impurities. Due to this, after many Primordial Talisman Sect’s alchemists refine elixirs, they’re purchased by the sect and sent here for refinement. As a result, a large number of Perfect Level Elixirs are produced, increasing their value manifold. So the Primordial Talisman Sect has now stored a large quantity of Perfect Level Elixirs. For the next hundred years, sect cultivators will not lack elixirs for use. The Demon Refining Pot is also currently used by Jiang Fan within the sect. Since the spiritual energy revival in the Void Realm started, numerous Demon Beasts have been born, endlessly and unstoppably, especially from the Black Dragon Sea Region. No place surpasses the Boundless Sea Region in producing more Demon Beasts. At such a time, the Demon Refining Pot shines brightly as it can refine numerous Demon Beast corpses and then produce Pure Yang Pills. Different tiers of Demon Beast corpses can produce different tiers of Pure Yang Pills. This is remarkably faster compared to alchemists refining elixirs. Thus, during this period, many Pure Yang Pills have been produced, becoming essential elixirs for sect cultivators. Due to the large quantity and significant efficacy of Pure Yang Pills, they’ve almost become the sect’s currency unit. They’re even more favored than Spirit Stones. “The most important treasure is the Immortal Dew Bottle.” “As cultivation enhances, this treasure becomes increasingly powerful.” “Currently, it can produce one hundred drops of Immortal Dew monthly.” “Annually, that’s twelve hundred drops; truly an astonishing amount.” Jiang Fan rubbed his chin thoughtfully. He recalled that when he initially acquired the Immortal Dew Bottle, it only yielded one drop of Immortal Dew per month. But as his cultivation increased, he could activate this treasure and produce a large amount of Immortal Dew. Furthermore, if he advances to Body Integration or even Mahayana Realm, the Immortal Dew quantity would undoubtedly increase. It’s precisely because of the abundant presence of Immortal Dew that many Ancient Spirit Medicines have quickly grown. Currently, he has planted numerous Ancient Spirit Medicines within a medicinal garden. Among them are Tier Five and Tier Six Spirit Medicines. Old elixir recipes from the Ancient Era are starting to prove useful. Without this treasure, even if he acquired Ancient Spirit Medicine Seeds, it would be futile. At least they’d need to grow for thousands to tens of thousands of years before fully maturing. Yet, ordinary cultivators cannot afford such a lengthy timeframe. “Enough is enough, these are only minor matters.” “Improving cultivation is currently the most important.” “I am now a Seventh-Layer Void Refining cultivator; staying in the Void Realm might be fine.” “But placed within the Spirit Ruins Realm or Ancient Sect, it’s utterly insignificant.” “At least advancing to the Body Integration Realm would grant some power.” “Now isn’t the time to be idle.” Jiang Fan took a deep breath. He sat cross-legged on the ground, operating the Mixed Element Talisman Scripture. An immense energy surged within him instantly; this was the medicinal power from the Profound Yellow Fruit. Thanks to the Profound Yellow Fruit, his cultivation in the Void Refinement Realm progressed rapidly. Otherwise, merely accumulating Primordial Magical Power would take countless time. Boom~~ In an instant, Jiang Fan entered a deep cultivation state. His Primordial Magical Power increased bit by bit internally.
