Chapter 749: The Golden Snake Spirit

Zhu Youjian: "Of all those who benefit from the Longevity Principle, besides the Dao Jun, shouldn't the Tian Can be the one who gains the most?"

Hu Yifei: "Indeed. In a world where the Longevity Principle exists, cultivated herbs are incredibly valuable."

Tian Can: "Can the herbs I cultivate also extend lifespan?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Correct. This is also a unique feature of your world — your fortune!"

Gogorin: "How wonderful. Unlike my world, which has no special traits — just an ordinary world."

Teruhashi Kokomi: "My world doesn't seem to have any special features either. Only Kirei Nanako has psychic powers!"

Su Xiao: "No, your world clearly has extraterrestrial factions — they're just kept beyond Earth by Kirei Nanako. Once you gain strength, the universe becomes your hunting ground, with resources flowing endlessly."

Teruhashi Kokomi: "You're not seriously asking me to mine in space, are you? No way! I'm a beautiful girl — mining would be so embarrassing!"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "... I'm a beautiful girl too! And right now, I'm already mining in space. 【Photo】 See? Not bad — king-grade materials. Today's haul was substantial."

Miyamizu Miko: "Yukino actually has king-grade materials?"

Zhang Taixuan: "That's normal. Don't underestimate an entire universe. Earth is ordinary, but that doesn't mean the universe is. The universe is vast, filled with countless treasures — as long as you can venture deep into it, you'll never lack resources."

Sun Wukong: "By the way, the Dao Jun said the Daluo cultivation technique costs ten billion points. With our current rate of accumulating points, we'll be able to buy it soon. Isn't a technique like this supposed to be priceless?"

Han Paopao: "It truly is priceless."

Zhang Taixuan: "This is the Chat Group's support. The Chat Group's purpose is to let everyone obtain what they want through effort. If prices were set too high and no one could afford them, wouldn't the Chat Group Store become useless?"

Su Xiao: "That's true. It's precisely because of the Chat Group that everyone has a chance to transcend."

Jin She Jing: "I never imagined someone like me, with no background, could have such a fortune!"

…

Snake Spirit's Cave Residence.

The Snake Spirit, energized, ended the chat and entered the meditation chamber.

"The Demon Mirror, the Wish-Granting Scepter, the Yin-Yang Soft-Hard Sword — I can sell them all later. For now, I'll keep them for protection." The Spirit gazed at the treasures, feeling no lingering attachment.

These artifacts may seem multifunctional, but they are not true supreme relics.

"Now, it's time to retrieve the alchemy furnace from Wulong Pond. With the Chat Group Store, as long as I make contact, I can sell it — no need to worry about the immortal fire inside."

With resolve settled, the Snake Spirit did not notify the Scorpion Spirit. Under cover of night, she headed straight for Wulong Pond.

The pond water was deep and dark, radiating terrifying cold.

It was precisely these frigid energies that kept the immortal fire within the furnace left by Nanji Xianweng from erupting.

Plop!

The Snake Spirit leapt into the water and dove downward.

With only two thousand magic power left, her strength was negligible in the Chat Group — but diving underwater was still no problem.

Soon, she saw a beautifully crafted alchemy furnace resting on the pond's bottom; even underwater, flames could be seen flowing through its openwork design.

"No wonder it's immortal fire — even this icy pond can't suppress its inner flames."

Carefully, she placed her hand upon the furnace, fearing she might trigger an explosion of the immortal fire.

【Ding, the furnace is worth fifty million points. Sell it?】

"Only fifty million points?" The Snake Spirit was surprised.

It wasn't that fifty million points were few — it was that, in her eyes, this was the alchemy furnace left by Nanji Xianweng; surely it must be an immortal artifact.

Upon closer inspection, the Chat Group provided an explanation.

Furnace: The alchemy furnace used by Nanji Xianweng before his ascension. Before his flight to immortality, he sank it in Wulong Pond, awaiting a future worthy heir.

"So it's just a furnace he used before becoming immortal — no wonder its value is so low."

"Sell it." The Snake Spirit was not greedy. Fifty million points were enough to buy an immortal cultivation technique.

This was already an unexpected windfall for her.

With that thought, the furnace vanished into thin air.

The Snake Spirit quietly surfaced from Wulong Pond and returned to her cave.

"First, cultivate. Then, seize the Gourd Spirit Root. Since this Gourd Spirit Root is so extraordinary, it must fetch a high price — perhaps even more than the furnace!"

Logged into the Chat Group.

Found the Jin Dan Dao — only seven-transformation techniques were listed, capable of cultivating up to the True Immortal Realm.

"Only seven transformations?" The Golden Snake frowned. "But it's enough. Once I reach the seventh transformation, I'll buy the next one from the Dao Jun. Fortunately, the Dao Jun doesn't discriminate against demonic origins — he's a benevolent being. Otherwise, this immortal technique would've been impossible to obtain."

The next instant, an immortal cultivation technique appeared in her mind.

The Golden Snake carefully contemplated it, her face filled with disbelief.

"No wonder it's an immortal technique — truly exquisite. The breathing method my sister created pales in comparison." The Snake Spirit sighed, then purchased some elixirs before beginning her transformation.

Seven days passed swiftly.

With the aid of twenty million points, the Golden Snake's strength surged rapidly; her internal core advanced directly to the fifth transformation, achieving a qualitative leap.

In the meditation chamber, the Golden Snake opened her eyes, stunned: "So strong! My magic power is now over a hundred times greater than before I was suppressed — and incredibly refined. Compared to the magic power from the breathing method, it's like heaven versus earth. My sister's technique could never lead to immortality!"

At this moment, the Golden Snake finally understood the difference between immortal techniques and ordinary ones.

The breathing method her sister gave her — even after accumulating a million years of magic power — could not match a thousand years of cultivation under an immortal technique. This was a fundamental, qualitative gap.

"Still, my sister treated me well. When I get the chance, I must drag her along to cultivate with me!"

"Now, it's time to seize the Gourd Spirit Root!"

The Golden Snake rose, thought for a moment, then sold her three magical artifacts (Wang Qian Zhao), exchanging them for a king-grade divine weapon before stepping out of her cave.

With a sweep of her spiritual sense, she quickly located the Gourd Spirit Root.

She had been free from her seal for some time; the seven-colored gourd seeds had been planted and grown into three-foot vines, but had yet to bloom or bear fruit.

"I wonder if this spirit root can still be sold?"

With doubts in mind, the Golden Snake stealthily approached the herbalist's location and touched the spirit root.

【Ding. The Innate Gourd Spirit Root is worth 300 million. Sell?】

"It actually works!" the Golden Snake Spirit cried out in delight.

Since she could sell it directly, she naturally had no wish to face the so-called Gourd Boys.

The thought moved, and in the next instant, the Gourd Spirit Root vanished into thin air.

"Who stole my Spirit Root?!"

The moment the Gourd Spirit Root vanished, the entire mountain immediately began to shake, and a hysterical roar rang out, its voice like Lei Ting, shaking a thousand li in every direction.
