Chapter 1161: The Ring of Breaking the Forbidden (First update, requesting everything)
Li Zhangsheng's Mental Power enveloped the Sea-Stabilizing Dragon Blood Fruit Tree, and upon sensing its energy fluctuations, he could not help but reveal an expression of surprise.
Originally, Li Zhangsheng had assumed that since the Sea-Stabilizing Dragon Blood Fruit Tree could cultivate Lower-Grade World Wonder fruits, it should at least be a Mid-grade Top-tier Spirit Plant; unexpectedly, the grade of the Sea-Stabilizing Dragon Blood Fruit Tree was actually on par with its fruits.
"How can this be?"
Li Zhangsheng thought to himself, and he quickly hit upon the crux of the problem.
To cultivate the Sea-Stabilizing Dragon Blood Fruit, in addition to the Sea-Stabilizing Dragon Blood Fruit Tree, one must irrigate it with a large amount of dragon blood every year, and the cultivation time for the fruit lasts as long as a hundred years.
Holy Trees that can also cultivate Lower-Grade World Wonder fruits have significantly shorter cultivation cycles and do not require external assistance to cultivate, so the difference in quality is immediately apparent.
Even so, being able to obtain a Low-grade Top-tier Spirit Plant was still a great harvest, and to Li Zhangsheng, it was also extremely precious.
With this Sea-Stabilizing Dragon Blood Fruit Tree, the stability of his Secret Realm could be improved by another notch.
After instructing Xiaoguai and the other Spirit Planters to transplant the Sea-Stabilizing Dragon Blood Fruit Tree, Li Zhangsheng followed Mihalovich into the palace.
This palace had a very dragon-like character; "magnificent" was not enough to describe the interior environment. According to Mihalovich's introduction, this palace was entirely smelted from a massive amount of gold, and the interior decoration was incomparably luxurious, which was why it could be called the Golden Palace.
Unfortunately, even though the Golden Palace cost a great deal, it was of no use to Li Zhangsheng.
There was only one room in the palace, and the floor was piled with countless jewels; this was the 'bed' that Deathwing usually slept on, which also had a very dragon-like character.
If one looked at the ratio between the size of the palace and Deathwing, it gave a different feeling, equivalent to a human living in a room of less than ten square meters.
It was not that Deathwing did not want to expand the palace, but that there was only so much gold on hand.
At this moment, Li Zhangsheng released his Mental Power, completely encompassing the entire Golden Palace, but the result was that there was no harvest.
This was also within his expectations; after all, Deathwing had long since placed the most valuable items in a dimensional space, and what was left in the Golden Palace were basically ordinary jewels.
Li Zhangsheng said to Mihalovich: "Next, it is your turn!"
Mihalovich shivered, his eyes filled with reluctance and hesitation.
"As the first dragon to surrender, I will take at most three treasures from you. As compensation, this Golden Palace and the jewels here will be given to you. The other dragons are different; they will not receive any compensation!"
Li Zhangsheng began to treat them differently, as only this could appease Mihalovich's heart, and incidentally divide this group of dragons, which would also allow them to better integrate into the Dragon Lair.
Upon learning that he could obtain the Golden Palace and this batch of jewels, Mihalovich, fearing that Li Zhangsheng would regret it, agreed without delay.
This is where the values of dragons differ from those of humans.
Since the dragons were all taken into the Secret Realm, and they did not open up dimensional spaces like Deathwing, and usually stayed in the Death Swamp, dragons that carried spatial items with them could be said to be few and far between.
It was also because of this that the treasures of this group of dragons were mostly still in their respective Dragon Nests, waiting for Li Zhangsheng to arrive.
In the time that followed, Li Zhangsheng began to sightsee in the various Dragon Nests, taking away the treasures that caught his eye, while the remaining treasures had to be returned to the dragons to prevent them from rebelling.
Not only the Dragon Nests of this group of dragons, but Li Zhangsheng did not let go of the nests of the other elite dependents either; he spent an entire day scraping the whole mountain clean.
In terms of quality, it was still inferior to Deathwing's collection, but in terms of quantity, it was superior, which could be considered a decent harvest.
Among this batch of treasures, there were a total of nine treasures that reached the Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade, but none were of the World Wonder grade.
Among them, four belonged to forging materials, and there were three high-level spirit plants; because they had been processed, these three high-level spirit plants could not be replanted and could only be used as materials for alchemy.
Of the remaining two Heaven and Earth Rare Treasures, one was an alchemical pill the size of a dragon eye, named the Heaven and Earth Creation Pill; this was a pill specifically used to assist in breaking through to the Upper Legend rank, and it was extremely rare and precious.
The second piece was a black ring, and the energy fluctuation it emitted was the highest among the nine Heaven and Earth Rare Treasures, extremely close to the Lower-Grade World Wonder grade.
After Li Zhangsheng appraised it, he discovered that this was a high-quality legendary item, only half a step away from a Semi-Artifact.
On the metal band of the black ring, there were also some small characters engraved, which Li Zhangsheng recognized as the Common Tongue of the Main Material World.
Furthermore, judging from the style and craftsmanship, this ring very likely came from the Main Material World.
"Ring of breaking the forbidden? It should be the Forbidden-Breaking Ring!"
Li Zhangsheng translated the text engraved on the ring, and his eyes narrowed immediately.
After studying it for a while, Li Zhangsheng shot a ray of gray energy from the Forbidden-Breaking Ring, which landed on the open ground.
As a result, nothing happened; it neither blasted out a small pit, nor did it appear as a bottomless small hole, nor did it directly cause Annihilation to the matter it touched like the Great Disintegration Technique (Great Bankruptcy Technique).
Unexpectedly, Li Zhangsheng was not alarmed but happy, and he immediately stopped releasing the light.
From his feeling, the energy ray shot out by the Forbidden-Breaking Ring was extremely similar in nature to the energy of the Forbidden Bead.
In other words, the effect of this ray of light was very likely to forcibly break a Restriction.
The next moment, Li Zhangsheng pointed into the void a few times, and a small Defense Restriction quickly took shape.
Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng activated the Forbidden-Breaking Ring again, and the gray light instantly landed on the Defense Restriction.
At the moment of contact, the Defense Restriction disappeared without a sound.
After this experiment, Li Zhangsheng could already confirm that the light shot out by the Forbidden-Breaking Ring could indeed break a Restriction.
"Let's call you the Forbidden Light!"
Li Zhangsheng casually named the gray ray and continued to study the Forbidden-Breaking Ring.
After a long while, Li Zhangsheng shook his head; apart from the function named Forbidden Light, the Forbidden-Breaking Ring had no other abilities.
However, its effect seemed singular, but it could exert a miraculous effect at critical moments; the only pity was that because the grade of the Forbidden-Breaking Ring was on the low side, it could at most break small Forbidden Arrays before the energy would be exhausted.
Besides the low grade, the energy recovery of the Forbidden-Breaking Ring was extremely slow; it would take a full three months to recover after the energy was exhausted, and apart from natural recovery, Li Zhangsheng could not think of any other way.
Although the Forbidden-Breaking Ring had all sorts of absurdities, it still possessed no small amount of utility for Li Zhangsheng; he took out a table cast entirely of gold, on which were placed three sealed Treasure Boxes.
This table came from the Imperial Treasury of the Langya Kingdom and could be said to be the most important essence within the Imperial Treasury.
Regarding the treasures in these three Treasure Boxes, Li Zhangsheng had always shown great importance.
