Chapter 1765 [Earth Treasury Elixir], Reversing Yin and Yang!
next moment.
A streak of light shot out.
Cheng Buzheng reached out with his fair, large hand and grabbed at the air, revealing a long-necked black stone bottle in his hand.
With a flick of his finger, the restriction covering the bottle broke instantly.
Gulu!
A magic pill rolled out of the bottle.
This elixir is perfectly round, and on its surface, black and white energies flow slowly like swimming fish, chasing each other and forming a perfect yin-yang cycle.
A faint, ethereal fragrance wafted through the air. The scent was not strong, but it possessed a strange power that calmed the mind and seemed to suppress all the restlessness and unease in the world.
Upon closer inspection, the calming and soothing properties contained within the fragrance are truly astonishing.
It seemed to soothe the turbulent waves of magical power and calm the swaying soul.
"These characteristics... are extremely similar to the [Earth Treasury Elixir] recorded in ancient books."
Cheng Buzheng's mind raced, and all sorts of information about this pill instantly surfaced in his head.
It is said that this pill, though it cannot enhance cultivation in the slightest, nor can it break through any cultivation bottlenecks, and is merely classified as an auxiliary elixir, its effects are nothing short of miraculous—
It is dedicated to understanding the myriad negative states in the world.
In other words, no matter how rare or potent the poison, it is lingering and difficult to cure.
Or was the physical body severely damaged and on the verge of collapse?
Even if the dantian and qi sea are damaged, this is a fatal injury that is equivalent to the end of one's cultivation path and there is no way to recover in the eyes of ordinary cultivators...
As long as there is a breath left, and this pill can be taken, then all toxins, curses, hidden injuries, damage...
All of them can be resolved, soothed, and repaired by the immense vitality and mysterious power they contain, returning them to their original state.
Its efficacy is so broad and it can solve such difficult problems that, among all auxiliary elixirs, it is undoubtedly the number one elixir in terms of comprehensive life-saving ability.
This is also what makes the [Earth Store Bodhisattva's Elixir of Immortality] so irresistible and incredibly precious.
Because this elixir's effects are almost heaven-defying, it has touched upon the rules of heaven and earth...
Therefore, the rare and precious materials required to refine it are not only numerous and diverse, but also astonishing.
The nine main ingredients, in particular, are all rare and precious herbs of "Grade A" quality.
Similarly, it is precisely because gathering all the materials is extremely difficult, and the refining process is even more perilous, that it demands such high skill, precise control of the fire, and...
Even the timing and location have almost demanding requirements.
Furthermore, with the passage of time, this ancient elixir has been continuously depleted, and almost no one has been able to refine and replenish it.
This has resulted in the extremely rare existence of this elixir.
Only in some ancient ruins or deep, dangerous places might one have a chance to find one or two relics.
"【Earth Store Bodhisattva Elixir】..."
It's truly unbelievable that such rare and precious life-saving elixirs still remain here.
Cheng Buzheng shook his head and chuckled softly, his tone carrying a hint of undisguised surprise.
After all, for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, possessing a [Ksitigarbha Essence-Resolving Pill] is practically equivalent to having an extra life.
Its value is immeasurable.
However, upon further reflection, he realized that for cultivators who had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage...
This pill, however, seems somewhat useless.
This is because once a cultivator achieves the Nascent Soul stage, they will forge a basic Law Spiritual Body, and their life level will leap forward.
Whether it's physical injuries or most negative states, they can be gradually dispelled or repaired by mobilizing the power of the fundamental laws that one has comprehended.
It could even be resurrected.
Only attacks from cultivators of the same level that contain the power of laws and cause Dao injuries pose a real threat.
Although this [Earth Treasury Essence-Resolving Pill] is powerful, its medicinal power is somewhat insufficient for the Law Body of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Immediately,
Cheng Buzheng composed himself and carefully put away the jade bottle containing the elixir.
My gaze fell once again on the antique-looking white jade jar on the shelf.
He stretched out his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, a soft white light flashed, and the long jar floated lightly into his palm.
The can is smooth and delicate to the touch, exceptionally glossy, and has an excellent tactile feel.
The jar is covered with intricate and ancient patterns, which are not merely decorative but subtly form a powerful sealing barrier.
This makes the long jar look even more extraordinary than the previous jade bottle.
see,
Cheng Buzheng's eyes flashed like lightning as he quickly scanned the jar.
It instantly froze on a seemingly inconspicuous but actually core-of-restriction pattern node.
He pointed his fingers like a sword, and a condensed and profound light shot out from his fingertips, precisely striking the node.
"boom!"
A dull, soft sound was heard.
The intricate, shimmering patterns covering the surface of the white jade jar shattered upon impact.
As if wiped clean by an invisible hand, it dimmed and vanished instantly.
At the same time, the tightly sealed lid automatically popped open a crack.
An indescribable aura immediately spread.
What comes into view...
The jar was filled with a liquid that shimmered with a purplish light, and although it appeared heavy, it was gently rippling.
As the purple light swirled, it seemed as if stardust had settled within it.
Even more striking was the arrival of an extremely pure, innate energy, seemingly originating from the very beginning of creation, mixed with a sharp, domineering, and terrifying aura capable of eroding the very soul.
"This is... an innate罡煞 (gāngshā)?"
After sensing this unique and powerful mixed aura, Cheng Buzheng instantly drew a conclusion based on his extensive knowledge.
He focused intently, his mind racing through countless records and characteristics of various innate astral spirits.
And then conduct a detailed comparison and differentiation.
"Its color is pure purple, shimmering with light, its innate energy is pure and abundant, and its inherent killing energy is sharp and unparalleled, carrying a unique 'Ding fire' scorching intent..."
This jar of purple liquid should be the [Purple Ding Gang Sha]!
Moreover, it is of extremely high quality, a top-tier innate elemental aura in the world.
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Cheng Buzheng's eyes.
"The value of this item far exceeds that of ordinary first-class rare and precious items."
After all, any spiritual object that can help cultivators break through the bottleneck of a major realm, such as the innate qi and earth turbidity needed by Nascent Soul cultivators to refine their domains, is invaluable.
Their value far surpasses that of attack or defense spirit items of the same grade.
This is the essential resource for the path.
After carefully inspecting the jar and confirming that everything was correct, Cheng Buzheng resealed the lid and applied several simple protective seals.
Only then did he carefully put it into his storage bag.
As time goes by, little by little...
The number of items on the shelves kept decreasing.
One after another, bottles and jars of various shapes flew out and landed in Cheng Buzheng's hands as he caught them in mid-air.
He would either examine them or use his divine sense to probe them, and then categorize and put them away.
After taking stock, there are as many as 137 kinds of innate evil spirits and 209 kinds of turbid earth energy!
This number is enough to cultivate hundreds of semi-saint level experts...
If this were to spread, it would be enough to cause a huge uproar in the cultivation world.
"The Golden Dragon Clan... they are truly wealthier than I ever imagined!" Cheng Buzheng couldn't help but exclaim inwardly once again.
"These breakthrough resources, which are extremely rare in the outside world and would be fought over by Nascent Soul cultivators, are actually accumulated in such a terrifying quantity here."
That's incredible.
But then he thought about it again and realized that it seemed to be a matter of course.
The Golden Dragon Clan is no ordinary force; it is a terrifying race with a powerful bloodline and unfathomable foundation, whose lineage dates back to ancient times or even earlier.
Its history is so long that even they themselves probably cannot fully trace its origins.
Moreover, throughout the long course of history, the Golden Dragon Clan has stood at the pinnacle of all races in almost every era.
It seems unsurprising that it, perched atop the boundless ocean, has collected and accumulated such a massive amount of innate vital energy and turbid earth energy.
If we were to seriously consider this...
Considering the size and long history of the Golden Dragon Clan, the current number is perhaps still considered "small".
Cheng Buzheng put away the last few jade bottles, looked at the now much emptier shelves in front of him, and murmured to himself.
As his gaze continued to sweep across the shelves...
quickly,
My gaze was fixed on a crystal that had been placed casually.
The crystal is about a foot square, crystal clear, without any impurities inside, and has a soft, shimmering luster.
The eye can penetrate the crystal without any obstruction and clearly see inside, where a peculiar spiritual herb is sealed.
The herb was entirely white-gold in color, straight and upright, about a foot long, with sharp edges on its leaves like sword blades.
Overall, it looks like a miniature platinum sword, perfectly sealed within this pure crystal.
It lay there quietly, yet naturally exuded an incomparably sharp sword intent.
It seemed as if it might break through the crystal seal at any moment and unleash a devastating blow that could tear the heavens apart.
Cheng Buzheng made a powerful move...
The crystal then transformed into a beam of white light and flew into his hand at an extremely fast speed, producing a faint sound as if it were being cleaved through the air, much like the slashing of a sword.
The moment you touch it, the first thing you feel is a bone-chilling coldness.
Immediately afterwards, a slight stinging sensation came from the skin of my palm, as if I were being pricked by countless tiny needles.
"Oh?"
A look of surprise and delight appeared in Cheng Buzheng's eyes.
It should be noted that his current avatar is a genuine Nascent Soul level Dharma Body, forged with a Law-based spiritual body. Its physical resilience is in no way inferior to top-tier magic treasures.
It can even withstand attacks from ordinary heavy treasures in a short period of time.
At this moment, merely touching this heavily sealed crystal, the slight aura naturally emanating from the spiritual herbs within, caused his spiritual body to feel a slight stinging sensation.
It is clear that this platinum-gold spiritual herb is far from being comparable to ordinary spiritual objects.
Its essence is extremely high, and the sharpness it contains has reached an astonishing level.
Without further hesitation, his eyes gleamed as he carefully scanned the crystal encasing the spiritual herb.
This crystal is not naturally formed, but rather formed by a sophisticated sealing technique, with extremely subtle energy channels flowing through it.
next moment,
He flicked his finger, and a point of condensed light shot out from his fingertip, precisely hitting a weak point on the crystal surface where energy converged.
"Crack!"
A crisp cracking sound was heard.
The seemingly seamless crystal surface was instantly covered with countless spiderweb-like cracks.
Then, with a loud crash, the entire crystal shattered completely, turning into a shower of sparkling, translucent light.
Like stardust, it dissipated into the surrounding void, leaving no trace.
At the same time, the platinum-colored spiritual herb floated down, landing precisely on Cheng Buzheng's already prepared, fair palm.
Upon obtaining the spiritual herb, the icy, stinging sensation became even more pronounced, while a pure and sharp aura of metallic killing intent lingered around the herb as if it were a tangible substance.
The entire herb has smooth lines, and the curves of its leaves have a sword-like beauty, with a restrained and profound white-gold luster.
"This spiritual herb is pure white-gold in color. It is icy cold to the touch and can spontaneously corrode anything it comes into contact with. It also carries an extremely pure and sharp golden killing aura."
Judging by its appearance and some characteristics alone, it does bear some resemblance to the 'Mica Sword Grass'!
Cheng Buzheng carefully sensed it.
"However, compared to the Mica Sword Grass, this grass has a purer and deeper color, while the Mica Sword Grass often has a hint of silver-gray."
Moreover, the weight of this herb is clearly incorrect.
For the same volume, it is several times heavier than mica sword grass, and has an extremely high density.
Most importantly, the Mica Sword Grass has absolutely no natural Daoist aura surrounding it, so it can't be considered a rare treasure at all.
Clearly, it cannot be compared to the platinum-gold spiritual herb before them, which naturally exudes a sharp Daoist aura.
Moreover, this platinum-gold spiritual herb contains a destructive sword intent that can sever everything and annihilate all laws.
Its purity and power
It far surpasses the Mica Sword Grass by countless levels.
After a while,
Cheng Buzheng searched through all his memories, from low-grade spiritual herbs to ancient secrets, but found only one kind of spiritual object that existed only in legends and was described in vague terms.
Its characteristics can barely be matched with the spiritual herb in front of us.
"Could this platinum-colored spiritual herb be the legendary [Qiankun Cold Jade Sword Root]?"
It is said that this object was born in an extremely cold and dangerous place, absorbing ten thousand years of golden energy and innate killing intent, and is a supreme treasure for tempering an unparalleled sword soul..."
"However, according to some extremely ancient and incomplete ancient books, the root system of the [Qiankun Cold Jade Sword Root] should be the color of cold jade, warm and lustrous with a hint of patina."
Compared to the spirit herb before them, with its distinct leaves and pure platinum color, there are still many obvious differences in its form and description.
For a time,
Even with Cheng Buzheng's extensive knowledge, he could not accurately discern the specific origin and name of this Platinum Spirit Herb.
But one thing he was certain of:
This item is absolutely a top-tier rare and precious material related to "swords".
For sword cultivators, it has immeasurable and enormous benefits!
Is it direct refining and absorption?
Whether used as the main ingredient in refining corresponding sword cultivator elixirs, it is highly likely to imbue the sword cultivator's physical body, magical power, and even soul with extremely strong sharpness attributes.
This causes its attack power to increase explosively.
Its value is clearly far greater than that of ordinary first-grade rare herbs.
Cheng Buzheng could confidently make this judgment based on his profound alchemy skills accumulated over many years and his experience in appraising treasures.
Immediately, he stopped dwelling on its name and carefully examined the platinum-gold spirit herb in his palm, which resembled a work of art.
Then, he took out a cold jade box specially used to store top-grade spiritual herbs, carefully placed the spiritual herbs inside, sealed it with multiple layers of seals and restrictions, and then put it into his storage bag.
After putting away this unknown yet precious sword-wielding herb...
