Chapter 377: A Great Harvest

Suddenly, an unprecedented terror surged in his heart.

Before he could react,

his body instantly entered a state of declining vital energy and leaking spiritual power.

His cultivation base, which had just broken through to the Soul Transformation realm, plummeted immediately.

The connection he had established with the Immortal Longevity Vial was instantly severed, returning it to its original form.

In the next moment, Li Changsheng realized what was happening.

He pointed a finger at Ye Qingxuan and said unwillingly:

"You..."

Unfortunately, he did not finish speaking.

Li Changsheng perished instantly due to the exhaustion of his lifespan.

Ye Qingxuan shook his head slightly:

"Why bother? Is it not better to live?"

Having spoken, Ye Qingxuan instinctively waved his hand.

On the seven-colored jade vial, which suppressed its aura, intricate Dao patterns were carved.

Ye Qingxuan felt a bit of fear.

"Eh?"

If he accidentally triggered it, he would have a bitter tale to tell.

To obtain an Immortal Artifact so effortlessly?

Looking at the already perished Li Changsheng, Ye Qingxuan could not help but sigh:

He did not rashly step forward.

Instead, he began to cautiously examine Li Changsheng's body.

What if Li Changsheng, without wasting words, had directly activated the Immortal Artifact?

After a moment of inspection, Ye Qingxuan withdrew somewhat disappointedly.

Ye Qingxuan did not approach.

His spiritual sense gently wrapped around the aura-suppressed jade vial.

"What a good person!"

Ye Qingxuan extended his spiritual sense.

This was truly an Immortal Artifact!

A flash of sharp light appeared in Ye Qingxuan's eyes; he took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

Within the Dao patterns on the vial's body,

after all, Ye Qingxuan was unsure how far the connection the other party had established with the Immortal Artifact had progressed.

"Hahaha, is it really an Immortal Artifact?"

Li Changsheng's corpse instantly turned to ash and vanished.

Looking at the jade vial floating not far before him,

what if Li Changsheng had hidden a backup move that could explode even without anyone activating it?

However,

looking at the jade vial floating above Li Changsheng's corpse,

he was extremely curious about Li Changsheng's reliance.

He was also unsure if he could guard it properly.

He could not help but laugh heartily:

Looking at Li Changsheng's already withered corpse,

he carefully extracted it from Li Changsheng's dantian, which had already fallen into silence.

Ye Qingxuan dared not be the slightest bit careless now.

Controlling his spiritual sense, he slowly penetrated into the jade vial.

An involuntary sound of "eh" escaped Ye Qingxuan's mouth.

After a long while, a look of surprise suddenly appeared in Ye Qingxuan's eyes.

For a moment, Ye Qingxuan could hardly believe his own judgment.

When Ye Qingxuan's spiritual sense slowly probed into Li Changsheng's dantian

and saw the seven-colored jade vial floating within the dantian,

Ye Qingxuan vaguely sensed a power that transcended the rules of the Dao.

His heart stirred, as if he had thought of something.

Li Changsheng's example stood before him.

He waved his hand, drawing Li Changsheng's storage ring into his palm.

With the other party's Soul Transformation cultivation base, how much of the Immortal Artifact's power could be unleashed?

However, Ye Qingxuan could confirm one thing:

Li Changsheng had not fully claimed the Immortal Artifact as his own.

Otherwise, under the Immortal Artifact's automatic protection of its master,

relying solely on his Death Curse Technique, which was only at the nascent stage of a divine ability, he truly could not have overcome the other party.

At this moment, Ye Qingxuan was very glad that he had used the minor divine ability, the Death Curse Technique, to strike.

Had he used other divine abilities to forcibly erase Li Changsheng,

Accidentally striking the magic treasure within Li Changsheng's dantian caused the treasure to awaken automatically.

This external projection of his might perish here today.

As his spiritual sense slowly probed the core Dao patterns within the seven-colored jade bottle.

Ye Qingxuan gained some information about the seven-colored jade bottle from the patterns.

He finally learned the name of the seven-colored jade bottle—the Changsheng Immortal Vase.

As well as the origin, current state, and function of the Changsheng Immortal Vase.

The Changsheng Immortal Vase is a mid-grade magic treasure left behind by the Changsheng Immortal Sect a million years ago in the Di Xuan Realm.

Due to a long period without a supply of high-level energy.

It has currently fallen into silence.

In the short term, it cannot awaken on its own.

Now, the Changsheng Immortal Vase retains only two basic auxiliary functions.

First, the Changsheng Immortal Vase absorbs spiritual energy to produce Changsheng Immortal Dew.

Changsheng Immortal Dew can accelerate the growth rate of spiritual plants.

By supplying low-grade spirit stones, or allowing the Changsheng Immortal Vase to absorb spiritual energy on its own.

It can produce low-grade Changsheng Immortal Dew, doubling the growth rate of spiritual plants.

By supplying mid-grade spirit stones.

It can produce mid-grade Changsheng Immortal Dew, tripling the growth rate of spiritual plants.

By supplying high-grade spirit stones.

It can produce high-grade Changsheng Immortal Dew, increasing the growth rate of spiritual plants sixfold.

By supplying supreme-grade spirit stones.

It can produce supreme-grade Changsheng Immortal Dew, increasing the growth rate of spiritual plants tenfold.

A full bottle of Changsheng Immortal Dew can supply spiritual plants for ten years of absorption.

As for exactly how many spirit stones are required to produce a full bottle of Changsheng Immortal Dew.

Ye Qingxuan would have to figure that out through his own gradual exploration.

This second basic function.

Is that by supplying spirit crystals, the Changsheng Immortal Vase can produce Changsheng Source Dew.

When a cultivator consumes Changsheng Source Dew, it can stimulate the growth of new spiritual roots.

After learning the two basic functions carried by the Changsheng Immortal Vase.

Ye Qingxuan felt immense joy in his heart.

With the assistance of the Changsheng Immortal Vase, his future speed in cultivating spiritual plants would surely increase greatly.

Moreover, the speed at which his spiritual roots grow would also inevitably accelerate.

However.

The specific effect of Changsheng Source Dew in stimulating spiritual roots.

Ye Qingxuan did not know for the time being.

Because the second basic function of the Changsheng Immortal Vase.

Could only be used after a cultivator had claimed the Changsheng Immortal Vase as their master.

But refining and claiming a magic treasure as master was not that easy.

Li Changsheng had possessed the Changsheng Immortal Vase for so long.

Through years of accumulated refinement, after hundreds of years, he had only deepened his connection with the magic vase slightly.

Far from reaching the threshold for a magic treasure to be claimed as master.

Otherwise, he would not have fallen so easily into Ye Qingxuan's hands.

Under normal circumstances, to claim a magic treasure as master.

One must either possess a Mahayana realm cultivation base and refine it for over a thousand years to barely claim the magic treasure.

Or one must gain the recognition of the magic treasure and complete the claiming process with its active cooperation.

But the latter option would not work with the Changsheng Immortal Vase.

Because after the Changsheng Immortal Vase lost its supply of high-level energy for a long time.

It had long since fallen into silence.

In the short term, it was impossible for it to awaken on its own.

Thus, naturally, it could not actively grant its mastership.

However.

Ye Qingxuan touched his chin, thinking slightly in his heart.

He was different from ordinary cultivators.

Within his sea of consciousness, he possessed an immortal soul born with him.

Using an immortal soul to refine a magic treasure should allow him, with a Dongxu realm cultivation base, to claim a magic treasure as master, right?

Thinking of this, a look of intent appeared in Ye Qingxuan's eyes.

At this moment, Ye Qingxuan sensed that beneath Mount Wanling.

Jiang Wen was leading a group, marching in great numbers toward Mount Wanling.

The next moment.

Ye Qingxuan shifted his mental focus.

Suddenly, a realm gate appeared not far from the Changsheng Immortal Vase.

Ye Qingxuan flicked his sleeve and gently pushed through the air.

The Immortal Bottle of Longevity instantly floated into the Gate of the Realm and vanished.

Having done all this,

Ye Qingxuan turned around, clasped his hands behind his back, and waited quietly for Jiang Wen's arrival.
