Chapter 235: Treasure Selection
"This 【Spirit Plant Seed Treasure】 entry is actually a purple-tier entry!"
Qin Ming focused his consciousness on the entry lying quietly within his sea of consciousness, feeling utterly astonished.
But then again, it made sense.
After using this entry, one could plant the embryo of a wood-attribute magical treasure into a high-grade spirit plant.
Then, through long-term cultivation, the treasure would grow alongside the spirit plant, absorbing the cosmic essence of heaven and earth.
The higher the potential of the planted treasure embryo, the greater the grade and power of the treasure once grown.
It also had a close relationship with the grade of the high-grade spirit plant into which the treasure embryo was planted.
However, Qin Ming possessed the innate spirit plant Yin-Yang Xuanteng; planting the treasure embryo upon it meant the resulting grade after growth should not be too low.
Because the higher the grade of the spirit plant and the longer the planting duration, the more they determined the final grade and power of the matured treasure.
His innate spirit plant, Yin-Yang Xuanteng, having advanced once again, had likely already reached the fourth tier.
He reckoned that his future innate magical treasure would not be lacking either.
Qin Ming set those thoughts aside for now and instead focused his consciousness on the 【Source of Magic Power】 and 【Abundant Lifespan】 entries.
A smile of excitement spread across his face.
Immediately, his consciousness tapped on the 【Abundant Lifespan】 x5 entry; in an instant, a vast power of years descended upon Qin Ming.
In the unseen realm, a profound spiritual force beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators instantly increased Qin Ming's lifespan by two hundred and fifty years!
Thus, Qin Ming's lifespan reached one thousand one hundred and ten years, comparable to the long life of a Nascent Soul ancestor, not far off from a thousand-year-old turtle.
This was the immortality that countless cultivators pondered over bitterly and dreamed of obtaining.
"Over a thousand years of lifespan..."
"Just like a turtle!"
Qin Ming opened his eyes, black as ink, revealing a look of satisfaction.
The Yin-Yang Xuanteng also emitted a wave of joyous energy, its vines dancing as if resonating with Qin Ming.
Subsequently.
Qin Ming immediately sat cross-legged and tapped his consciousness on the 【Source of Magic Power】 entry.
Boom! A surging, mighty flood of magic power suddenly gushed forth from within Qin Ming's body, endless and continuous.
The green, liquid magic power of longevity, resembling a jade-green celestial river, poured down from the heavens and merged into his sea of magic power.
The aura of magic power surrounding Qin Ming constantly climbed higher; he circulated the
After two days and two nights of cultivation.
Qin Ming had completely absorbed all the magic power contained within this 【Source of Magic Power】 entry, equivalent to several years of bitter cultivation at his current level, advancing another one-fifth toward the peak of Foundation Establishment.
When cultivation ended, his body was enveloped in a fragrant aura of wood and grass essence.
The Black Water Crocodile, as usual, lay beside Qin Ming, opening its mouth to absorb the overflowing wood and grass essence, its own aura constantly changing as it benefited immensely.
"Second Brother, save some for me."
"I'll inhale, inhale, inhale!"
At first, Shi Tian Shu did not understand why the Black Water Crocodile would crawl beside Qin Ming to breathe and absorb energy while he cultivated.
But after trying it himself, the moment the wood and grass essence entered its body, it felt a tingling numbness spread through every inch of its being.
How to describe that sensation? It was simply ecstatic, as if floating toward immortality.
At the same time, the benefits it brought were obvious.
How could Shi Tian Shu let such an opportunity slip? Following the Black Water Crocodile's example, it diligently mimicked the actions, desperately absorbing the wood and grass essence near Qin Ming.
'Speaking of which, my master is truly extraordinary.'
'He has actually cultivated such a technique; it seems to possess an endless vitality, brimming with the spirit of spring.'
'Even I, by absorbing the overflowing green essence, have gained much and improved my constitution and bone structure.'
'No wonder Second Brother and Third Brother have grown so quickly; even among demonic beasts, they stand out as exceptional existences.' 'So it turns out they get to inhale this essential qi every day!'
'It seems that this time, yours truly has truly turned misfortune into blessing! Hehehe!'
Qin Ming exhaled a breath, then stood up and glanced at the two spirit beasts beside him, paying them no further attention.
He went alone to the area before the spirit tea forest and the bamboo grove.
After several years of growth, these two types of second-tier top-grade spirit plants were nearly ready for harvest.
The matter of refining the magical treasure embryos also needed to be scheduled soon.
Especially one Void Bamboo that Qin Ming had enhanced using the 【Spirit Plant Spirit Bestowal】 entry, which had already spawned spiritual wisdom and was developing toward becoming a third-tier spirit plant.
The golden entries upon it simultaneously came into Qin Ming's view.
【Name】: Snow Soul Tea 【Entry】: Soul Force Crystal x5 (Maturity 94%)
【Name】: Snow Soul Tea 【Entry】: Space-Time Leaf x5 (Maturity 96%)
【Name】: Snow Soul Tea 【Entry】: Faint Lifespan x5 (Maturity 93%)
【Name】: Void Bamboo 【Entry】: Qi and Blood Crystal x5 (Maturity 87%)
【Name】: Void Spirit Bamboo 【Entry】: Space-Time Leaf x5 (Maturity 82%)
Qin Ming immediately used one 【Space-Time Leaf】 entry to fully ripen all the spirit plants here.
Subsequently, Qin Ming harvested the spirit plants bearing entries, and five blue entry leaves instantly appeared quietly within his sea of consciousness.
The 【Faint Lifespan】, 【Qi and Blood Crystal】, and 【Soul Force Crystal】 entries were used by him on the spot.
Qin Ming's lifespan increased by another fifty years, reaching one thousand one hundred and sixty years.
His divine soul power and qi-and-blood power were enhanced once again.
Next.
He approached the Void Bamboo that had been bestowed with spiritual wisdom and used another 【Quality Improvement】 entry on it.
In an instant, this spirit bamboo emitted a surge of joyful, exuberant emotion.
Buzz! Only to see all the golden spirit runes on the spirit bamboo light up, after which it suddenly shot upward, growing to a height of five zhang.
An aura of a third-rank spirit wood radiated from it.
Within the Void Bamboo Forest, this spirit bamboo stood out like a crane among chickens, extremely conspicuous.
At the same time, with the birth of this third-rank spirit bamboo, added to his previous aid to True Person Canghai in reviving and planting the third-rank Spirit-Transforming Demon Fruit, it meant that Qin Ming had officially become a third-rank Spirit Plant Grandmaster.
However, Qin Ming was in no rush regarding his promotion; it would not be too late to attend to it after his magical treasure was refined.
Qin Ming took out the Green Phoenix Sword and chopped down this stalk of third-rank Void Bamboo.
He had already made his choice for his first innate magical treasure.
It was one of the four wood-attribute magical treasures recorded on the ancient silk: the 'Wood Emperor Nail'.
This type of magical treasure was one of the most powerful recorded in the Treasure Refining Art.
Furthermore, it came as a set of eighty-one nails in total, possessing an innate suppressing effect against demonic cultivation methods, ghostly entities, and yin-evil filthy spells.
Beyond that, the Wood Emperor Nails were elusive and silent, impossible to guard against; even a single nail held extraordinary power, let alone a full set of eighty-one.
As for why he did not choose the Divine Wood Cauldron or the Time Talisman, on one hand, Qin Ming's own cultivation method already possessed healing effects.
The Four Seasons Divine Light divine ability born after the Great Completion of the Ancient Wood Evergreen Body was even stronger than the Wood Wheel Treasure Light of the Divine Wood Cauldron.
The Silver-Winged Yin Frost Bees already possessed the Time Poison Sting, so the Time Talisman could be refined later.
Holding the third-rank Void Spirit Bamboo in his hand, Qin Ming felt the abundant spiritual energy within, and a smile of anticipation curled the corners of his mouth.
He returned to his cave dwelling and, following the methods in the Treasure Refining Art, began the refinement process.
