Chapter 1493: Counting the Spoils (First Update, Requesting Everything)

Li Zhangsheng and his wife gained a great deal; even after the Three Emperors and the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas took their share, the amount they obtained still exceeded imagination.

On this trip to the Heavenly Court, just in terms of Supreme Langhuan Treasures, they obtained the Gate of Creation, the God-Slaying Spear, the Phoenix-Head Staff, the Dragon-Head Staff, the Universe Cauldron, the Life and Death Book...

Regarding Top-Grade Spiritual Roots, they obtained two Superior Top-Grade Spiritual Roots—the Huangzhong Plum Tree and the Five-Needle Pine—as well as one Golden Apple Tree, and they also collected all Ten Branches of the World Tree.

There is no need to even mention the Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures; the four Huangzhong Plum Fruits alone are enough to make people jealous to the point of suffocation, not to mention the rest.

As for the corpses of Spirit Beasts, the most precious are naturally the Hundred-Headed Dragon, as well as the Hundun, Ya Zi, Ba Snake, Jumang, Chongming Bird, and so on; the rest are not worth mentioning.

In addition, there is the complete inheritance of the Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly Empress; according to their promise, the two will selectively copy it for the Three Emperors and the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.

Of course, there is also the control of the Heavenly Court.

As for the captured and sealed Source Emperor, he is ignored for the time being.

It can be said that it will likely take some time to completely digest what they have gained.

In the Secret Realm, Li Zhangsheng first took out the Innate Yi Wood Essence, then thought for a moment and put it away again.

The reason is simple: Li Zhangsheng plans to wait until he becomes an Emperor before letting Kailan absorb it, otherwise, the effect of the Innate Yi Wood Essence in assisting a breakthrough to the Emperor Rank would be wasted.

Li Zhangsheng pondered for a moment and decided to start with the Huangzhong Plum; he took out two Huangzhong Plum Fruits and handed one to Ning Bizhen.

The Huangzhong Plum contains a trace of Dao essence, which can significantly increase the probability of a Demon Pet breaking through to the Emperor Rank. Any creature that consumes it will inevitably see a surge in wisdom, comprehension, and Mental Power. Note: The Dao essence of every Huangzhong Plum is identical; only the first consumption is effective.

Although if Li Zhangsheng and his wife absorb them, they cannot utilize the effect of assisting a breakthrough to the Emperor Rank, it is more helpful for their future, so they naturally will not let the Demon Pets absorb them all.

As for the effect, it remains to be seen.

Li Zhangsheng took a bite of the Huangzhong Plum, and an extreme fragrance quickly erupted and spread across his taste buds; while his eyes lit up, he finished eating it in a few bites.

The next moment, a cool, refreshing sensation surged into Li Zhangsheng's mind, accompanied by a trace of profound and mysterious Dao essence, making one unable to help but immerse oneself in it.

Li Zhangsheng immersed himself in the atmosphere of the Dao essence and began to comprehend the Great Five Elements Technique using it.

Time passed slowly; when half a day had passed, Li Zhangsheng and his wife opened their eyes almost at the same time. The two looked at each other and saw a look of satisfaction in each other's eyes.

The effect of the Huangzhong Plum can be described as heaven-defying; the wisdom, comprehension, and Mental Power of both of them surged by a large margin.

Li Zhangsheng estimated that the effect of the Huangzhong Plum was clearly far above that of the Wisdom Fruit.

With the help of the Huangzhong Plum, the progress of Li Zhangsheng's Great Five Elements Technique also increased by a notch; this was mainly the effect of the Dao essence.

Ning Bizhen's Great Reincarnation Technique even directly entered the introductory stage, which was surprising.

Besides this, the Mental Power of both of them increased significantly.

Li Zhangsheng's Mental Power had already risen to a stage nearing perfection; in his view, if he were given another two or three months, he could reach perfection, at which point he could attempt to break through to the Emperor Rank.

Ning Bizhen's Mental Power also entered the middle-to-late stage, likewise saving a large amount of cultivation time.

Li Zhangsheng had an urge to eat another Huangzhong Plum, but unfortunately, the Dao essence of every Huangzhong Plum is identical, and only the first consumption has an effect. Moreover, the Huangzhong Plum is so precious that he really could not bear to waste it.

At this time, Li Zhangsheng began to refine the corpses.

Except for the corpses of the Hundred-Headed Dragon and Jumang, the rest of the corpses were naturally all refined into Spirit Essence.

The corpse of the Hundred-Headed Dragon goes without saying; he still needs to study the Heaven and Earth Status that is slowly dissipating. Jumang is a Wood Element Top-tier Divine Beast and can be crafted into a Wood-Type Top-Grade Hun Kun Stone to prepare for the God-Slaying Sword Array.

Before that, Li Zhangsheng still had to study the Demon Refining Pot.

The Demon Refining Pot, missing two precious pearls, was still a Superior Langhuan Supreme Treasure, but this also caused the Spirit Essence refining effect of the Demon Refining Pot to be greatly reduced, not much better than the Imitation Demon Refining Pot.

Li Zhangsheng studied it for a while, then immediately pried off the two pearls from the Imitation Demon Refining Pot and inlaid them into the genuine Demon Refining Pot.

These two pearls were only of Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade, their quality far inferior to the pearls that came with the genuine Demon Refining Pot, but they could still produce some effect, and the efficiency of refining Spirit Essence was more or less improved.

As for the effect, he would have to try it to know.

Li Zhangsheng chose a useless Demon Pet corpse and began to refine Spirit Essence using the genuine Demon Refining Pot.

The whole process was as smooth as flowing water; there were no accidents during the process, and he successfully refined several jars of Spirit Essence.

"The refining rate has reached about 45%!"

A smile appeared on Li Zhangsheng's face; with the genuine Demon Refining Pot, his refining rate could be said to have taken a step forward.

The key is that this is not the end; as long as the Demon Refining Pot is replenished, the refining rate will definitely exceed 50%. In addition, the inheritances of the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress also contain several methods for refining Spirit Essence, the best of which barely exceeds 10%, which can also be used to improve the "Book of Bloodlines".

According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, it might be possible to reach a refining rate of 60% to 70% in the future.

At this time, Li Zhangsheng first refined the Ba Snake corpse. Due to the perfection of the Bloodline, the procedures were reduced, avoiding some waste, and the refining rate reached as high as 60%, purifying nearly ten jars of Spirit Essence.

If the existing stock is added, it is enough to make the Teng Snake's Ba Snake Bloodline reach the stage of perfection.

Ning Bizhen summoned the Teng Snake, and after the Teng Snake finished absorbing the Ba Snake Spirit Essence, the Jianhua Bai Guang began to spread.

However, with the dual bloodlines of Teng Snake and Ba Snake, it is feared that it still cannot make its species reach the category of Top-tier Divine Beast.

Li Zhangsheng continued to refine Spirit Essence. Not long after, the Jade Rabbit corpse was finished being refined. Because it had been dead for a long time, the activity of the Bloodline Imprint had to be activated. Due to the increase in procedures, some Spirit Essence was wasted, but the refining rate of the Jade Rabbit corpse also barely reached 50%. Added to the existing stock, it is enough to evolve Ning Bizhen's Long-Eared Cold Jade Rabbit into a Jade Rabbit.

At this time, the Teng Snake had completely digested the Ba Snake Spirit Essence; its body size and weight far exceeded before, which is the massive body size endowed by the Ba Snake Bloodline.

As Li Zhangsheng expected, the Teng Snake only reached the category of Superior Divine Beast; its quality did not change, it only moved a step closer toward Legendary Quality.

Li Zhangsheng continued to refine; this time his refining target was the Hundun corpse. He prepared to bestow the Hundun Bloodline upon Yuangungun to make its strength take a step forward.

Among Li Zhangsheng's many main Demon Pets, Yuangungun has the lowest upper limit. There is no way around it; even if two Demi-God Beast bloodlines are compatible, at most they only result in a Mid-level Divine Beast species. Only by bestowing other bloodlines can Yuangungun's species take a step forward.

Among the many Top-tier Divine Beasts, Li Zhangsheng chose the Hundun, which is relatively compatible with Yuangungun.

The Hundun is known for its resistance to damage, and it is relatively compatible with Yuangungun in all aspects, which can allow Yuangungun to better display its strengths.
