Chapter 524: Heavenly One True Water and Misha Yuan Gang Stone (First update, seeking votes)

The Yellow-Skinned Gourd was quite heavy in hand; Li Zhangsheng felt a sense of weight even holding it with one hand. Ever since he had absorbed the Basalt Essence Blood into his body, he had rarely obtained such a heavy treasure.

Judging solely by the energy fluctuations it emitted, it had definitely reached the Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade, though he did not know what its effects were.

Li Zhangsheng examined it for a moment, then pulled out the wooden stopper, seeing half a gourd of liquid stored inside.

To be more precise, it was a few drops of liquid, each the size of an infant's fist; they were clearly distinct, giving one the feeling that they belonged together.

Li Zhangsheng tried pouring out a drop of the liquid; it was quite heavy in hand, with a single drop weighing something like a thousand catties.

This was a drop of blue liquid, emitting a faint blue light.

Strangely, this drop of liquid remained cohesive and did not disperse; if one did not touch it, it felt just like a blue precious bead.

"Heavenly One True Water!"

Li Zhangsheng looked it over and recognized the name of this drop of liquid.

Heavenly One True Water is known as the Mother of All Waters; it can dissolve all things and cannot be stored in ordinary containers, so its efficacy can be imagined.

Heavenly One True Water: Heaven and Earth Essence, can be used to synthesize divine mud, extinguish fires, or combine medicines and refine treasures, improving the quality of Alchemical Pills and treasures to a certain extent.

This could be called a panacea, but for Li Zhangsheng, it had great utility; if he added Heavenly One True Water while crafting a Semi-Artifact, not to mention whether its quality would rise, at the very least, it could increase the success rate.

Additionally, if Heavenly One True Water is mixed with breathing soil, it can even extinguish all flames.

"I wonder if this Yellow-Skinned Gourd can be refined?"

Li Zhangsheng thought to himself, but he did not have the intention to refine it immediately; after all, now was not the time.

After putting away the Yellow-Skinned Gourd, Li Zhangsheng began to check the Space Ring.

This was a Space Ring without a Soul Imprint; Li Zhangsheng's Mental Power sank directly into it, seeing a vast space, likely three or four thousand cubic meters, filled to the brim with items.

As expected of a Sixth-Rank Expert, the accumulation was not ordinarily deep.

The Soul Crystals, Demon Cores, and materials were hard to estimate, including several Lord-level Demon Cores and Superior Soul Crystals.

There were two tokens: one Identity Token and another suspected to be a Patriarch Token; he did not know what kind of Authority it possessed.

Li Zhangsheng naturally hoped that Xiao Mu possessed the Authority to open all the Restrictions of the Xiao Clan, so that he could steal a large amount of the Xiao Clan's wealth.

Li Zhangsheng thought for a moment and temporarily kept these two tokens; he still had to head to the Xiao Clan Manor in a while to reap some benefits.

After all, this was a Famous Clan, and the hidden value was unimaginable; Li Zhangsheng prepared to bite off the best piece of meat.

There remained three treasures with the most intense energy fluctuations in front of Li Zhangsheng: a piece of wood and two Jade Boxes.

This was a piece of black wood only half a meter long, slightly heavy in hand, and about the thickness of an adult's arm.

The moment he touched this piece of wood, a chilly aura tried to burrow into Li Zhangsheng's skin.

Li Zhangsheng immediately locked his essence and closed his pores; his physical body was powerful, and he could already control his pores.

It was not just his pores; even some indescribable places could likewise grow or shrink, extend or retract, and could even swell up significantly, just like a Warrior in a Berserk state.

Yinhun Wood!

Li Zhangsheng weighed this piece of wood and immediately determined the name and efficacy of this wood.

Yinhun Wood can only be born in places with rich Yin energy, growing only one centimeter every ten years; this piece of Yinhun Wood likely had a tree age of five or six hundred years.

Accessories made from Yinhun Wood possess the effects of calming the mind and invigorating the spirit, and can also provide a certain degree of protection to the soul.

If there had been an accessory made of Yinhun Wood during the process of Di Zhiyi's Possession, Li Zhangsheng could have dealt with Di Zhiyi better.

This piece of wood could likely be made into dozens of accessories of varying sizes, such as wooden pendants, waist ornaments, bracelets, rings, and so on, with the efficacy determined by the volume of the accessory.

At the same time, the materials for certain special Alchemical Pills or potions also require Yinhun Wood powder as an ingredient.

Li Zhangsheng put away the Yinhun Wood and his gaze fell on the two Jade Boxes, one large and one long.

Inside the long, narrow Jade Box was a meter-long tree-green branch, the thickness of an adult's arm, with dozens of leaves flickering with moist green light.

As a breeze blew, Li Zhangsheng smelled a fresh scent, feeling as if the surrounding air had been purified, giving one the feeling of being in an ocean of plants, becoming exceptionally fresh.

Tree of Life Branch!

With just one look, Li Zhangsheng recognized it, because he had obtained one before, though its volume was far inferior to this one.

In the legends of the creation of the world, the World Tree gave birth to ten Top-Grade Spiritual Roots, the most famous of which is the Tree of Life, which naturally contains extremely vigorous life energy and special effects, and is also the Spiritual Root most closely aligned with the World Tree, possessing all sorts of incredible abilities.

Unfortunately, even if a broken branch of the Tree of Life still contains astonishing activity, it cannot be planted.

How could a Top-Grade Spiritual Root be planted so easily?

Besides this, the branches and leaves of the Tree of Life are also one of the two main materials for Active Potion; when purifying the remains of the Thirty-Armed Giant, the Li Fire Red Flame Cat, and others, Li Zhangsheng's Active Potion had been used up.

After putting away the Tree of Life Branch, Li Zhangsheng opened the large Jade Box.

This was a Jade Box half a meter long and wide, containing a total of three cyan-gold ores, one large and two small.

As soon as Li Zhangsheng touched one of the ores, a faint tingling sensation came from his fingertips, which made him gasp in surprise.

One must know how powerful his physical body was; if it were an ordinary person, the hand touching the ore would definitely be cut with deep, bone-reaching wounds, and there would even be the possibility of a severed hand.

If the ore alone possessed such efficacy, it went without saying for weapons made from this ore; if he used it to make the tip of the Black Gold Dragon Spear, even if he encountered Liu Xudong with his Steel Body again, Li Zhangsheng would be confident of piercing his chest with one strike.

Even though Li Zhangsheng did not know too much about ores, the characteristics of this ore were too prominent, and he still recognized it easily.

Misha Yuan Gang Stone!

This is a special ore containing Yuan Gang; if it is used to forge a Treasure, it can allow the Treasure to possess a certain Armor Breaking effect, and the same logic applies to weapons.

"There is one more material for forging a Divine Artifact!"

Li Zhangsheng, filled with joy, put the Jade Box back into his Space Ring.

"I wonder if that group of people from the Xiao Clan has caught up?"

While Li Zhangsheng was thinking, he used the Heavenly Vision Secret Technique again, gazing toward the direction of Qiu City.

In less than half a minute, Li Zhangsheng saw them.

They had indeed chased after him and were still twenty-some miles away from here.

The fault lay in the slow flight speed of their Demon Pets, and they had to take care of the slower clansmen; plus, Li Zhangsheng and Xiao Mu ran too fast, and they had to track the aura they left behind from time to time—all these factors severely dragged down their speed.

Most importantly, looking at their appearance, they were quite leisurely, clearly thinking that Xiao Mu was easily within their grasp.

It is a pity that they will only be able to see Xiao Mu underground.

Li Changsheng decided to do them a favor and let them reunite with Xiao Mu.

The most important thing for a family is to be together, and the same goes for clansmen, so as to keep Xiao Mu from being too lonely underground.

To prevent any fish from slipping through the net, Li Changsheng took his Demon Pets and laid an ambush in secret, quietly waiting for the fish to enter the net.

In just a quarter of an hour, the group from the Xiao Clan was about to arrive in the sky above Li Changsheng.

Suddenly, a Fourth Rank clansman of the Xiao Clan seemed to have discovered something and exclaimed, "Not good!"

At this very moment, the two sides were only three or four hundred meters apart.

"Attack, finish them off!"

Li Changsheng felt a little regretful, but he still immediately issued the order for an all-out attack.

Among these dozen or so Xiao Clan members, three were Fourth Rank, and the rest had all reached the Third Rank level, representing almost half of the Xiao Clan's elite.

If they were all wiped out, the decline of the Xiao Clan would be inevitable; at the very least, they would struggle to recover their vitality for decades.

Aixi, Kailan, and the other dozen or so Demon Pets all flew up and pounced toward their respective targets.

The Xi Mouse stood on the Light Blessing bird, the Ancestor Leopard Qilin Beast wove through the dense forest, and Roundy held the Giant Whale Kun high, flying while riding on clouds.

Over this past month, they had been practicing the Spirit Communication training method, which had already begun to show results; their coordination was half a notch stronger than before, making it difficult for the situation of fighting individually to occur again.

Upon seeing Aixi and the other Demon Pets rush out, an elite of the Xiao Clan immediately shouted a warning: "Not good, enemy attack!"

However, the speed of Aixi and Kailan was too fast; before they could react, they immediately launched their offensive.

At the same time, Li Changsheng activated the Dimensional Anchor Secret Technique, disrupting the space within a radius of two to three thousand meters.

Seeing Aixi pounce, a Fourth Rank Xiao Clan member instinctively wanted to cast Instant Movement, but the attempt failed due to the Dimensional Anchor Secret Technique.

"Ah!"

Before he could take any remedial measures, Aixi appeared before him and bit down on his neck.

Crack!

Aixi instantly snapped the man's neck, and fresh blood sprayed out from the headless corpse like a gushing spring.

"Ah!"

On the other side, Kailan had also locked onto a Fourth Rank Xiao Clan member; unlike the one Aixi was dealing with, this Fourth Rank Xiao Clan member summoned his Demon Pets with the fastest speed possible.

It was not just this Fourth Rank Xiao Clan member; some other Xiao Clan members also reacted and summoned their Demon Pets one after another, wanting to use their superior "force" to surround and annihilate Kailan.

Their tactical approach was naturally sound, but unfortunately, Kailan's strength was too great, and he had long been prepared.

Just as their Demon Pets were summoned, Kailan released an area-of-effect ultimate move—Dense Forest Stars!

Kailan condensed a massive amount of Wood Energy, as if launching countless green seeds, which swarmed down from the high sky.

These "seeds" rapidly transformed into illusory giant trees, smashing straight down toward the ground and covering a radius of several dozen meters.

The gap in strength was too vast; Kailan was no ordinary Lord-level Demon Pet, and his Half-Step Epic Quality and Perfect Monarch species alone were enough to create a massive disparity.

Chirp—Caw—Roar—Hiss—

For a time, the sounds of Demon Pets wailing or dying rang out, interspersed with the screams of the Xiao Clan members.

Today's goal: Three, pigs, verified!
