Chapter 709: Treasures for Nascent Soul Formation

After the fire origin apricot advanced to the fourth tier, it blossomed in thirty years, bore fruit in thirty years, and matured in thirty years, and in the end, there were only nine fire origin apricot fruits. Nine fruits in a hundred years was much more than before.

However, this fourth-tier fire origin apricot already belonged to the category of heaven and earth treasures.

Even if a Golden Core cultivator took it, it could increase mana. As for Purple Mansion cultivators taking it, the effect was even more powerful.

Even now, Foundation Establishment cultivators could no longer take it, because the fire origin power contained in the fourth-tier fire origin apricot was too vast. Foundation Establishment cultivators had difficulty refining it, and taking it by force would only cause damage to their bodies.

Although there were fewer fire origin apricots in the future, in terms of effect, it had indeed improved quite a bit.

But for Foundation Establishment cultivators, missing such a treasure indeed had quite an impact on late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

After all, for many late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, taking one could save twenty or thirty years of cultivation time.

Su Shi'an voiced the worries in his heart.

"Great Elder, don't worry. Although late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators have fewer fire origin apricots, they can still use others to replace them."

"I brought back a few third-tier spirit fruit trees this time."

Su Fan said with a smile. In fact, among those three spirit fruit trees, one came from the Wu State, which Su Fan traded for that water origin fruit tree through Li Ke with a Saint Origin Pill.

Third-tier low-grade water origin fruit tree, a water-attributed spirit fruit.

Compared to the fire origin apricot, it was much worse. After all, when Su Fan and the others discovered that fire origin apricot back then, it was already third-tier mid-grade.

Over these hundred-plus years, it had been constantly advancing.

It stood to reason that such spirit root fruit trees needed hundreds or thousands of years to advance. The Su family obtained this fire origin apricot, and in just a hundred years, it had advanced to the fourth tier.

In fact, besides constantly adding nutrients, it was also because after Su Shi'an refined it, he breathed spiritual energy every day, and their mana interacted, which also benefited the fire origin apricot. This was the main reason for the other party's advancement.

Compared to the fire origin apricot, the water origin fruit tree was much lower in grade, but this water origin fruit could be used for alchemy, and could refine many kinds of spirit pills, whether it was for recovering mana or improving mana.

The Profound Heaven Sect could at least refine four kinds of spirit pills using the water origin fruit, while the fire origin apricot could now only be taken alone.

For the fourth-tier fire origin apricot, the original fire spirit pill likely couldn't be refined either. The fire origin power contained in the fire origin apricot was too strong, and other medicinal herbs of the third-tier fire spirit pill couldn't be compatible with it.

Unless alchemists constantly improved it.

However, improving pill formulas was not that easy.

Fortunately, this time, Su Fan brought back a fourth-tier alchemist, so it wouldn't be impossible to let him study it. If the fire spirit pill could be improved into a fourth-tier spirit pill, it would definitely be a good thing for the Profound Heaven Sect.

This meant that the Su family had one more fourth-tier pill formula, and it was a unique spirit pill, so its competitiveness in the market would be greatly increased.

Unique pill formulas, whenever placed in the market, would excite many cultivators to buy spirit pills. After all, for new spirit pills, cultivators hadn't developed drug resistance, so the effect would be very powerful when they started taking them.

Cultivators' bodies all had drug resistance. If you took a spirit pill too many times, especially spirit pills that improved mana, the effect would be very low later on.

Therefore, in the cultivation world, many forces pursued alchemists, not just because they wanted to refine pills, but also because they hoped to be able to develop new spirit pills.

The fire origin apricot couldn't be used for alchemy for the time being.

But the water origin fruit was different. The third-tier low-grade water origin fruit, the spirit pills refined, were most suitable for those mid-to-late stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Besides the water origin fruit tree, the other two spirit fruit trees in Su Fan's hands actually came from the Swallowing Star World. One was a fig tree, and one was a six-star mango tree, both of which were mutated fruit trees in the Earth of the Swallowing Star World.

Su Fan specifically collected them. Those two fruit trees seemed to have undergone great mutations and could continue to transform.

It could be said that one or two appeared among thousands of trees.

Su Fan hadn't taken them out before because Su Fan had placed them in the space of the Universe Mirror to nourish them.

After all, compared to the willow trees, these two spirit trees were still too fragile.

After being nourished by the Universe Mirror, they could barely survive in the main world.

Placed in the main world, they could be considered two third-tier spirit fruits. Su Fan specifically placed them in his cave dwelling and set up a special array.

After a few decades, these two spirit fruits would truly be able to adapt to this heaven and earth, and then they could bear fruit.

However, having three more third-tier spirit root fruit trees was also an increase in quite a bit of foundation for the Profound Heaven Sect.

This thing was also a measure of the foundation of many sects.

"Elder Lu, you are also at the peak of the Golden Core eighth level. Here is a fourth-tier Barrier-Breaking Pill, which is enough for you to break through to the Golden Core ninth level."

"In the next few decades, you must cultivate to the peak of the Golden Core quickly, and then try to break through to the Nascent Soul."

"You don't need to worry about the resources for breaking through to the Nascent Soul; I will personally go and help you collect them."

He didn't need any external objects to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but Lu Qingshan and the others definitely couldn't. If there were no resources like Nascent Soul Formation Pills to assist in Nascent Soul formation,

it would be impossible for Lu Qingshan and the others to do it alone.

And those treasures from the Swallowing Star World were not suitable for Lu Qingshan. After all, some treasures Su Fan bought from the Swallowing Star World were only suitable for cultivators at the Primordial Spirit stage or even above.

For example, the worst Purple Cloud Spirit Fruit, compared to things like the Life Fruit, this Purple Cloud Spirit Fruit was much worse and was suitable for Star-level martial artists to take to refine and improve the origin energy in their bodies.

This thing, if placed in the main world, let alone Lu Qingshan, a Golden Core cultivator, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be afraid of being blown up if they wanted to take it.

There was also the Fire Source Spirit Liquid. Su Fan had quite a bit of this, but it was either suitable for the Primordial Spirit stage or even higher.

The price was not low in the Swallowing Star World, but very few could be used in the main world.

It wasn't that Su Fan didn't buy them, but many shops didn't have low-level things. The Golden Core stage was a very awkward realm.

Placed in the Swallowing Star World, it could only be considered the Apprentice stage, so the things useful to them were all on local planets.

This thing was simply not looked upon.

Wood Bud Crystals could be used to improve the cultivation of the early Golden Core stage, but at Lu Qingshan's current realm, Wood Bud Crystals were no longer needed.

He needed treasures to assist in Nascent Soul formation, and the powerful treasures of the Swallowing Star World were fundamentally unusable by him, while the low-level ones were not suitable.

So Lu Qingshan and the others could only find ways in the main world to form the Nascent Soul. This was something Su Fan hadn't thought of before.

But fortunately, Su Fan was not afraid.

Nascent Soul Formation Pills were scarce in the Southern Wilderness Continent, but he could go to other major continents. ===== CHAPTER 710 =====
