Chapter 216: Magic treasure embryo, gray sword sheath

Dazzling, a wide variety!

When the contents of Duan Qiankun's storage bag were all poured out by Luo Chen in the room.

They almost formed a small mountain.

Swallowing his saliva, Luo Chen couldn't help but mutter to himself: "This is the heritage a family passed down for three hundred years should have!"

Magic tools, magic tools, and more magic tools!

As far as the eye could see, there were ten top-grade magic tools!

And they were not ordinary top-grade flying swords.

With Luo Chen's vision, just by looking at two of them, he roughly knew their effects.

These magic tools, even among top-grade ones, belonged to the boutique category.

A few of them even belonged to exotic magic tools, possessing unique effects.

"I imagine Duan Qiankun kept them normally to reward meritorious members of the family."

Besides magic tools, there were two things wrapped in thick silver balls.

The silver balls were not solid, but rather more like flowing liquid.

Tightly wrapping the things inside.

"This thing, it seems to be secret silver?"

Luo Chen had seen similar materials in the Duan family treasury before.

But there was only one piece, and it was unrefined.

Unlike now, there were two large balls, and they were all essence.

"I don't know what exactly is inside, I'll find a chance to ask Duan Feng."

Besides these things, there were spirit stones.

Not ordinary low-grade spirit stones, but mid-grade spirit stones.

There were two hundred of them.

In other words, there were twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones here!

Not only that!

"This is a top-grade spirit stone?"

Luo Chen picked up a crystal-clear diamond-shaped crystal that emitted intense spiritual energy fluctuations in surprise.

Its volume was twice as large as standard low-grade and mid-grade spirit stones, a full middle finger long.

And the spiritual energy contained within was no longer misty.

But like silk and thread, like liquid and paste.

"Refined to such a degree?"

With a thought, Luo Chen held the crystal in one hand.

A wisp of incomparably pure spiritual energy flowed out, entering his meridians.

"It can actually be absorbed directly!"

Luo Chen was shocked in his heart.

Spirit stones in the cultivation world are less like resources and more like currency.

Usually used as an equivalent to measure the value of goods.

The spiritual energy inside cannot be absorbed and used!

The reason is that those spiritual energies are very violent; once they enter the body, they are like wild horses, running and colliding.

They will cause damage to the cultivator's meridians and dantian.

Unless absolutely necessary, very few people will actively absorb the spiritual energy inside spirit stones.

Regarding this.

Luo Chen had also researched it once.

The conclusion he reached was that the people who made the spirit stones injected a special substance into them.

Making the originally pure and gentle spiritual energy become violent.

Only disciples of great sects have secret methods to eliminate that substance and use it directly.

This is also why sect disciples are generally stronger than ordinary loose cultivators of the same realm.

With the same realm and similar methods.

Spiritual power capacity is an important condition that determines life and death.

Besides their own spiritual power, sect disciples can also temporarily extract spiritual energy from spirit stones, which has caused the common cases of suppressing ordinary loose cultivators.

Luo Chen tried to find such secret methods at the black market auction.

But found nothing.

It seemed as if Tian Xingzi had deliberately hidden it.

Over time, Luo Chen also gave up this useless move.

Unexpectedly, he actually obtained a top-grade spirit stone today.

"According to the hundred-base system, this top-grade spirit stone is worth over ten thousand!"

Not equal to ten thousand, but over ten thousand.

The premium can even exceed a thousand.

This was Luo Chen's judgment.

Just because the spiritual energy inside can be absorbed directly.

During battle, it can play a role in turning the tide.

Especially in the hands of a Foundation Establishment True Person, it can be used as a trump card!

"No wonder back then in the Duan family treasury, the number of spirit stones was sparse."

"I only thought Duan Qiankun was afraid that the family would decline after he sat down, so he exchanged the spirit stones for resources."

"Unexpectedly, he still kept thirty thousand in his pocket."

Happily putting away the spirit stones, Luo Chen was very happy.

Whether it was mid-grade spirit stones or top-grade spirit stones, their actual value had already exceeded the category of currency.

They could be used as strategic resources.

Such as driving large puppets, large arrays, and even directly absorbing spiritual energy; these are things low-grade spirit stones cannot do.

He spent all his mid-grade spirit stones when he broke through to Foundation Establishment.

It was also at the Gold Stone Pavilion, where he exchanged two hundred mid-grade spirit stones from Kang Dongyue to solve his urgent needs.

Now, there was another large income.

For a short time, he didn't have to panic.

After the spirit stones, there were magic tools.

These two magic tools were in different positions from the previous ten top-grade magic tools, and the spiritual light they emitted was also completely different.

A wave-drum, a sword sheath.

The wave-drum, Luo Chen was very familiar with.

A top-grade water-elemental magic tool; back then, Duan Qiankun used it to combine with his vessel technique to knock Wang Yuan into the underground of Xiaohuan Mountain.

If not for his Blazing Sun Art bombing down from above.

Duan Qiankun at that time could have easily beheaded the severely injured and powerless Wang Yuan.

The prestige of Foundation Establishment was truly not something the Wang Yuan of that time could easily offend.

"I can't use this magic tool, but it can be given to Duan Feng."

It wasn't that Luo Chen favored Duan Feng.

But this storage bag itself did not belong to Luo Chen.

The things inside had a share for Luo Chen, a share for Wang Yuan, and a share for Duan Feng, who led people to break the defensive array of Xiaohuan Mountain.

That top-grade River-Luo Sword was also distributed to Duan Feng, who made the greatest contribution, according to merit back then.

Now giving him the wave-drum could be considered helping Duan Feng gather the standard configuration of the Duan family head.

One sword and one drum, just missing one map.

Shaking his head, Luo Chen looked at the sword sheath.

"This should be the item that Xu Ji of the Luoyun Sect wanted, right?"

Back then, Xu Ji came to Dahe Square on the orders of Tian Xingzi.

To take away the human puppet of Mi Shuhua.

To complete the Foundation Establishment Pill agreement with Luo Chen.

And to ask Duan Qiankun for a custom magic tool.

Sword sheath!

"Why is it not a flying sword, but a sword sheath?"

Playing with the sword sheath in his hand, Luo Chen examined it carefully.

The color was light gray, six feet long, very standard.

As for the grade...

"Strange, it clearly gives me a feeling not weaker than the wave-drum, but why is the grade only low-grade?"

His gaze fell on the seven holes of different colors.

"This size..."

Suddenly, Luo Chen's heart moved.

Opening his mouth, a golden sword pill flew out.

Weng!!!

A humming sound rang out, and the sword sheath instantly bloomed with a layer of gray light.

Luo Chen put the sword pill into the empty hole of the golden color with suspicion.

The sword pill entered the hole.

The sword sheath spat out light!

Xiu!

Luo Chen hurriedly turned his head to the side.

A sword light grazed his head, and a wisp of hair fell lightly.

Looking back with lingering fear.

He saw a sword light had already pierced through the quiet room and flew into the sky.

This scene.

Instantly alarmed the people outside.

Min Longyu, who was building the array, looked up, his eyes filled with uncertainty.

"Sword light?"

"Why would a sword light that only Foundation Establishment sword cultivators can unleash come from the Society Leader's room?"

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Rapid footsteps rang out, and soon a voice came from outside.

"Society Leader, has something happened?"

It was President Sima Xian's voice.

He had just been flying outside with the War Hall cultivators, guarding the surroundings.

"Nothing, you go down!"

A calm voice came from inside.

Although Luo Chen didn't explain anything, there was no need to explain.

President Sima Xian breathed a sigh of relief and left immediately.

Inside the room.

Luo Chen looked at the sword sheath in his hand cautiously.

After his spiritual power was injected, it no longer had that stress response.

It returned to its original gray color.

However, a touch of golden light occupied the head of the sword sheath.

Moreover, its grade...

"It actually leaped from low-grade to mid-grade!"

"This is actually a magic tool with growth potential."

"And this is only one sword pill. But there are seven empty holes on this sword sheath."

"If I collect seven sword pills, will its grade break through to the magic treasure level?"

Luo Chen swallowed his saliva.

No wonder Tian Xingzi valued this item so much, not hesitating to send someone thousands of miles to Dahe Square.

This magic tool... no, it shouldn't be a magic tool, it should be a magic treasure embryo!

Moreover, it is not the kind of magic treasure embryo that requires long-term refining and nurturing.

It is a magic treasure embryo that can be upgraded quickly!

"Tian Xingzi entrusted Duan Qiankun to refine this treasure, I imagine it was to target the sword cultivators of the Yuding Sword Sect."

"In the entire Yuding Domain, those who use sword pills are mostly Yuding sword cultivators."

"Perhaps, this sword sheath has other mysteries!"

Taking a deep breath, Luo Chen took out the sword pill and swallowed it into his abdomen.

A mid-grade magic tool was of little help to him at present.

It was not as good as the sword pill, which was comparable to a top-grade magic tool.

But in the future, if he could truly collect seven sword pills, this sword sheath would be very precious.

Luo Chen did not intend to return this sword sheath to Tian Xingzi.

This was his spoils of war!

Putting the sword sheath away carefully, Luo Chen looked at the other things.

A pile of mineral materials, spiritual liquid!

In a family passed down by casting, this was not rare.

What was rare was that these mineral materials and spiritual liquids were all around the third stage.

"These things, also include them in the Tool Hall, to be used for casting magic tools!"

Luo Chen was not interested in these mineral materials.

What he was interested in were the other things.

For example, elixirs!

Second-stage elixirs used by Foundation Establishment True Persons!

"Ascending Dragon Pill!"

Picking up a jade bottle, Luo Chen opened it and muttered to himself.

That's right, this is a type of elixir commonly used by Foundation Establishment True Persons.

Five elements are enough, there are no restrictions.

Yet it was not refined by the Medicine King Sect, but a specialty elixir of the Green Pill Valley.

The only pity was that it was only at the third-turn level.

Third-turn is a second-stage low-grade Ascending Dragon Pill; if it could reach six-turn, it would be mid-grade.

It is said that the Green Pill Valley can refine nine-turn Ascending Dragon Pills, specially supplied for the sect's Dao-seed disciples.

Duan Qiankun didn't leave much, only three bottles.

This was related to his lack of hope for breaking through his realm and giving up on full-force cultivation.

Luo Chen put it away, better than nothing.

These three bottles together were only worth fifteen hundred spirit stones.

Second-stage elixirs generally start at three hundred spirit stones.

Ascending Dragon Pills suitable for cultivation usually sell for five hundred spirit stones a bottle.

Luo Chen's pill poison had not been completely cleared yet, so he couldn't use it for the time being.

After the pill poison disaster was resolved in the future, he could try it to see if it was suitable for long-term consumption during his Foundation Establishment stage.

"Eh?"

Opening a small cloth bag, the things inside instantly attracted Luo Chen's attention.

More than a dozen jade bottles of various sizes, each with a small piece of paper stuck on it.

"First-stage Spirit-Refining Pill, Returning-Yang Water, Glazed Paste..."

These, it seems, were all used by ninth-level Qi Refining cultivators to charge at Foundation Establishment?

If these still couldn't confirm Luo Chen's thoughts.

Then when a piece of rhizome shaped like a tongue fell into his eyes, there was no more doubt.

Heaven and Earth Root!

It was that eight-hundred-year-old Heaven and Earth Root that came out of the Golden Core ruins!

For breaking through to Foundation Establishment, it could increase the chance by twenty percent, second only to the Foundation Establishment Pill!

Or rather, in terms of safety, it was even better than the violent Foundation Establishment Pill!

"It seems this bag of elixirs was all used for people to break through to Foundation Establishment. However, why wasn't the Heaven and Earth Root consumed?"

"Didn't Duan Rui use it?"

In Luo Chen's previous guess.

Duan Qiankun should have long ago given this item to Duan Rui to use!

Unexpectedly, it was still left behind.

He picked up that piece of Heaven and Earth Root, and just as he touched it, he noticed something wrong.

Turning it over, a small piece of paper was stuck on it.

"Duan Feng"

Luo Chen's gaze froze.

Dong dong dong!

The knocking sound rang out again.

Luo Chen had just divided the things into three parts.

Hearing this sound, he couldn't help but frown.

"What's the matter?"

A capable voice came from outside, it was President Sima Hui Niang.

"Reporting to the Society Leader, there is a strange Foundation Establishment blocking the road outside, claiming to be a disciple of the Green Pill Valley."

"Hmm?"

Luo Chen raised an eyebrow and immediately went out.

As far as the eye could see.

A handsome young man with a slightly red face stood in mid-air, stepping on white clouds.

A green robe was extremely fitting, with nine cloud patterns embroidered on the chest, floating and dusty, not like a mortal.

He blocked three flying boats with his own body.

Seeming to have received the report, Li Yixian and Nangong Jin on the other two flying boats also walked out.

Seeing this scene.

That young man in green couldn't help but change his expression slightly.

Vaguely, he had the intention to retreat.

"Fellow Daoist, blocking us, what is the reason?"

Luo Chen could see the wariness on the other party.

Even the spiritual power all over his body was in a state of being ready to be triggered at any time.

I imagine it was because the three Foundation Establishments on their side gave the other party great pressure.

The young man gritted his teeth and forced himself to calm down, "Who are you, from which force?"

The three of Luo Chen looked at each other, and finally decided to report their origins.

"Luo Tian Society, Luo Chen."

"Nangong family, Nangong Jin."

"Li family, Li Yixian."

"We three are all from Dahe Square, wanting to go to Tianlan Immortal City." Luo Chen made a concluding statement.

After listening to this introduction, the young man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"So it's fellow Daoists from Dahe Square!"

He cupped his hands, "I am Tao Yisheng of the Green Pill Valley, greetings to you all!"

After getting to know each other, the atmosphere was finally not as tense as before.

Tao Yisheng naturally didn't dare to be arrogant facing three Foundation Establishments.

The three of Luo Chen also had to show a bit of respect facing the name of the Golden Core great sect, Green Pill Valley.

However, what should be asked still had to be asked.

"I don't know why Fellow Daoist Tao blocked us, what is the reason?"

Tao Yisheng pointed behind him, "The Yuanzhao Kingdom ahead is a mortal vassal state of my Green Pill Valley; Qi Refining cultivators are not allowed to stay for more than half a year, and Foundation Establishment True Persons cannot stay for more than ten days."

"I came here to give a reminder."

Hearing these words, Li Yixian and Nangong Jin suddenly realized.

So that's it!

That was not strange.

There are regulations in the cultivation world, or rather, the great sects high above have special regulations.

Cultivators are not allowed to stay in the mortal world for long.

Firstly, the spiritual energy in the mortal world is too thin, making it unsuitable for cultivation.

Secondly, there is a fear that cultivators might use their immense power to act tyrannically in the mortal realm, bringing disaster upon the common people.

Or, one could say, there is a third reason.

That is, most secular nations occupy vast territories, and even if spiritual energy is scarce, they often produce many basic resources.

These resources are not precious, but they are abundant.

Sects often dispatch disciples to station themselves there periodically to collect them.

If rogue cultivators were to reside there for a long time, they would certainly collect them in secret.

This would be an encroachment upon the interests of the sects.

Moreover, a population of millions is also a type of resource.

If someone in a mortal nation happens to break through to the Qi Refining stage by chance, they must either leave on their own or be persuaded to leave or be recruited by the stationed sect disciples.

In any case, there is one ironclad rule.

Those who cultivate immortality must roll into the cultivation world to struggle; do not stay in mortal nations.

Luo Chen naturally understands this principle.

Even if he didn't know it at the beginning and had the idea of going to a mortal nation to become a wealthy man, he was later advised by Wang Yuan.

What surprises him now is this.

"Is that the Yuanzhao Kingdom ahead?"
