Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1847: 475: Tallying the Spoils! (part 3)
Previously on Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family...
Lu Changsheng had initially planned to barter at a gathering for high-ranking cultivators, such as this whale hunting banquet, hoping to swap for it, yet he never anticipated acquiring it from the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch.
"Excellent, after wrapping this up, I can dedicate some moments to crafting the Heaven-replenishing Elixir."
During the initial periods, the caliber of his household children's Spiritual Roots remained fairly average, bordering on inferior.
Thus, Lu Changsheng had for a long time intended to brew multiple batches of the Heaven-replenishing Elixir to boost the quality of his children's Spiritual Roots.
Regrettably, the ingredients required for the Heaven-replenishing Elixir prove scarce, rendering the effort-to-reward balance far from ideal.
"What could this be?"
Lu Changsheng kept rummaging through the items and spotted a golden rock roughly the size of a person's head, which appeared to be some uncommon mineral ore, while also resembling a Spirit Eye Stone, surrounded by a subtle aura of Spiritual Energy.
Having examined it closely for some time yet discerning nothing special, Lu Changsheng tucked it away into his Storage Ring, intending to consult Hong Lian about it afterward.
In truth, he had obtained certain items from Lou Mountain True Monarch and the puppet figure that Lu Changsheng failed to identify, all of which he planned to have Hong Lian appraise later on.
No alternative, the speed of his cultivation advanced too swiftly, leaving gaps in his scholarly knowledge base that demanded gradual buildup over time.Upon finishing the inventory of the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch’s Storage Ring, Lu Changsheng harnessed the turbulent void currents to dispel the binding Qi Mechanism from several Magical Treasures before turning his attention to the purple-robed elder's Storage Ring.
Evidently, the purple-robed elder’s Storage Ring held far greater wealth compared to that of the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch.
Furthermore, it contained a wide array of assorted Heavenly and Earthly Treasures along with various Heaven and Earth Spiritual Materials, clearly indicating that this individual had slain numerous Nascent Soul Cultivators within the secret realm.
"Dragon Scale Fruit, Five Elements Spirit Fruit, Black Flood Dragon Wood, Heavenly Thunder Wood, Flame Sun Red Jade..."
Lu Changsheng encountered numerous precious Heavenly and Earthly Treasures among the contents.
For spirit fruits such as the Dragon Scale Fruit and Five Elements Spirit Fruit, he experienced little excitement.
However, materials like Black Flood Dragon Wood, Heavenly Thunder Wood, and Flame Sun Red Jade could serve in forging Talisman Skins or crafting Magical Treasures.
In essence, the spoils from this venture granted Lu Changsheng complete independence in handling Magical Treasures.
He could not only forge a complete array of Magical Treasures for personal use but also produce one or two superior Magical Treasures for each of his wives, concubines, and children who had advanced to Core Formation.
The sole drawback lay in the substantial time and labor it demanded.
Transforming raw materials into functional Magical Treasures necessitated considerable duration.
Moreover, these completed Magical Treasures could not be directly employed by others, requiring fresh recasting and refinement for each new owner.
"Ah, if only the household had a few Third Rank Refiners available."
Even though Lu Changsheng himself qualified as a Third Rank Top Level Refiner.
Should he depend solely on his own efforts, or collaborate with Hong Lian, finalizing the entire process would still demand no less than a few years.
He simply lacked the spare moments and energy to devote to such extensive work.
With a faint sigh escaping his lips, Lu Changsheng exhaled a puff of stale breath and pressed on with his sorting.
"Shariputra!"
Lu Changsheng unveiled a Jade Box, revealing a Shariputra about the size of a thumb that radiated a soft golden glow, instantly lighting up his face with delight.
In the past, after borrowing the [Buddhist Relic] from his daughter Lu Linghe for his own cultivation practice, Lu Changsheng had harbored deep remorse, yearning intensely to locate additional Shariputras as a way to make amends for her.
Yet procuring Shariputras turned out to be exceedingly challenging.
Surprisingly, right when prospects of obtaining one appeared utterly hopeless.
Although this particular Shariputra lacked the pristine clarity of the [Buddhist Relic] he had previously secured.
Nevertheless, the circulating Buddha light Qi Mechanism exuded a far more imposing presence than the Buddhist Relic held at home, suggesting it might rank as a Quasi-Fourth Rank or perhaps a full Fourth Rank Shariputra.
"Xiao He is bound to be overjoyed upon receiving this Shariputra."
While Lu Changsheng possessed the ability to employ the Shariputra in training the "Brahman Demon True Saint Technique."
He simply couldn't spare the time or energy for methodical, incremental cultivation.
And whenever feasible, unless an immediate necessity arose, he preferred to present such items to his daughter as a gift.
True enough, Nascent Soul Cultivators lived up to their reputation, yielding access to Heavenly and Earthly Treasures seldom glimpsed in everyday life.
Once he concluded sorting through the purple-robed elder’s Storage Ring and Storage Bag, a profound sense of satisfaction swelled within Lu Changsheng's heart.
This secret realm, despite its perils, delivered rewards of unparalleled richness.
After a general tidying up, the Great Luo Sword Embryo materialized in Lu Changsheng’s grasp, and aided by the [Michen Banner], he departed the Great Void, soaring toward the location of Great Dream Immortal City.
At the same time, over at Beast God Mountain.
Within a cavern residence encased in white silken strands reminiscent of silkworm cocoons.
A diminutive Nascent Soul figure, immersed in a pool of vibrant, multicolored liquid, abruptly widened its eyes, its face twisting in shock and rage: "This... my Magical Treasures, the seal on my Storage Ring has been erased! Yangming True Man still lives!"
This pale and delicate Nascent Soul Spirit Body belonged to none other than the Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch.
Earlier, inside the Vast Sand Illusion Realm, after suffering defeat at Lu Changsheng's hands, he had fled the secret realm by means of his Nascent Soul.
However, beyond its confines, Nascent Soul Cultivators faced relentless pursuit no matter their identity, so in his bid to escape, he had sacrificed a vast portion of his Nascent Soul Origin, leaving his Nascent Soul Spirit Body in a severely debilitated state.
Were it not for his clan's Great Elder detecting an ill omen and rushing to his aid, neither he nor Yun Mei Monarch might have made it back safely.
Now, upon detecting the erasure of his Storage Ring's seal and realizing Yangming True Man survived, a wave of dread washed over him, explaining Ming Sha True Monarch's profound fear of Yangming True Man and the desperate urge to eliminate him within the secret realm.
Individuals of this caliber, if left alive, robbed one of any restful nights or peaceful days!
The explosive incident involving Yangming True Man back then, even if he survived, must have left him crippled; it couldn't possibly be Yangming True Man himself, likely Azure Phoenix True Monarch instead..."
The Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch reassured himself inwardly, though the loss of his Storage Ring still pierced him with sorrow.
Admittedly, he maintained ample reserves of resources and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures within the cave mansion.
Still, the choicest possessions remained on his person, now transformed into finery for another's benefit!
