Starting From A Son In Law To Build An Long Lasting Family Chapter 1851: 476: Fivefold Tribulation-Dissolving and the Spirit Origin Stone!

"Besides the True Spirit Great Clans, certain cultivators employ cultivation methods to integrate True Spirit Blood within themselves, thus acquiring partial bloodline powers and skills, although the details escape me."
"The Azure Phoenix True Monarch probably obtained the Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline via this approach, acquiring mastery over the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's Divine Secret Skills."
In her younger days, Hong Lian encountered the Azure Phoenix True Monarch, and judging by her abilities to shatter the Great Void and navigate through space, it became clear she possessed deep expertise in spatial arts.
Hong Lian believed the True Monarch had not just learned the Azure Phoenix Clan's techniques but also tied links to the Heavenly Phoenix.
"Hmm."
With a gentle nod, Lu Changsheng acknowledged that the Azure Phoenix True Monarch undoubtedly held those hidden arts, and he himself drew upon his [Phoenix True Feather] to form the Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline.
This topic didn't hold his attention for long; soon after a brief exchange, he asked Hong Lian to appraise several heavenly and earthly treasures gathered on his recent journey.
"This is the Five Directions Tribulation Stone, a superb item for withstanding the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation. It assists those attempting Nascent Soul formation in lessening the tribulation's intensity by ten percent."
After inspecting the old, jagged, and uneven stone before her briefly, Hong Lian offered her words.
"Five Directions Tribulation Stone."
Lu Changsheng arched a brow and inquired, "Can this stone provide any advantages for a Fourth Rank Body Refining tribulation?"
Though assured of his path to Fourth Rank Body Refinement, the thought of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Whale's True Spirit Tribulation prompted him to first reforge his Life-bound Magic Treasure [Yin Yang Chart] as a safeguard against surprises.
"Certainly, for body cultivation paths, treasures like this for transcending tribulations prove even more invaluable."
"That's because body refiners endure tribulations not through the array of tricks available in a Nascent Soul advancement;"
"rather, it's an ordeal of spiritual and corporeal purification and evolution amid the heavenly wrath..."
In a soft and calming voice, Hong Lian elaborated.
She then turned her gaze to Lu Changsheng, "Husband, do you intend to advance to Fourth Rank Body Refinement first?"
Except when aiming for Heavenly Nascent Soul, in principle, reaching Nascent Soul proves easier than pushing to Fourth Rank Body Refinement.
Attaining Nascent Soul prior to tackling Fourth Rank Body Refinement would render it remarkably straightforward;
practicing specific Nourishing Life Body Refining Techniques might bypass drawing any heavenly tribulation at all.
"Yes, my next step is to prioritize the breakthrough to Fourth Rank Body Refinement."
A smile crossed Lu Changsheng's face as he answered.
Without probing deeper, Hong Lian trusted that Lu Changsheng would surely overcome any tribulation, and she proceeded to evaluate the leftover heavenly spirit materials.
"Here's the Blood Shedding Stone, born from a Demon King's vital blood after its demise;"
"most of the essence has faded, yet it can support demon cultivators in tempering their flesh and bones. Husband, you could show it to Bai Ling or Xiao Xi to check if it benefits them."
"This is Soul Calming Crystal, which halts corpse rot and boosts the soul strength of ghost cultivators. It also serves in crafting soul-nurturing magic treasures..."
"This appears to be a type of snake skin shed, transformed into a spiritual material for some cause. Its exact uses remain unclear to me..."
Even with Hong Lian's extensive knowledge, she couldn't identify every item.
Still, each of these unidentified heavenly spirit materials Lu Changsheng possessed ranked as exceptionally scarce and precious.
"This is..."
There, Hong Lian paused over a golden stone the size of a head that belonged to Lu Changsheng, knitting her brows as she scrutinized it intently. "It resembles... a Spirit Origin Stone?"
"Spirit Origin Stone?"
Surprise flickered in Lu Changsheng's eyes, the term utterly unfamiliar to him.
"Spirit Origin Stones bear resemblance to Spirit Eye Stones and emerge in spots rich with spirit veins and vital spiritual energy."
"Yet, Spirit Origin Stones arise when heavenly and earthly treasures coincidentally drop where a Spirit Eye is on the verge of forming. That's why rumors swirl that they harbor such treasures within."
To Lu Changsheng, Hong Lian provided the explanation.
"Sounds just like stone gambling."
A memory from his past life surfaced, leading Lu Changsheng to comment, "So, one must slice open a Spirit Origin Stone?"
"Correct, this Spirit Origin Stone probably seals a demon beast inside, though I can't confirm the details. Opening it risks killing the beast or ruining the treasure."
Hong Lian noted, highlighting how the greatest challenge with Spirit Origin Stones lay in assessing if the inner treasures had fully ripened and stayed undamaged.
"Understood, I'll examine it myself soon."
With a faint shake of his head, Lu Changsheng peered at the golden stone through his Fire Golden Eye, yet failed to penetrate its depths.
Once Hong Lian finished appraising the heavenly spirit materials in his possession, Lu Changsheng remembered yet another item he had gained.
The puppet that detects love luck!
With a mere flicker of intent.
A puppet materialized, seemingly forged entirely from metal, emanating a subtle dark sheen, adorned with complex engravings, and bearing minor signs of wear on its frame.
