Chapter 572: Secret Recipe for Upgrading Lotus Platform-type Treasures (Second Update, Seeking All)

Just as it was before the last time he left, the underground secret chamber remained exactly as it had been.

The Red Fire Dragon Scale Tree still stood alone to one side; on one of its branches, a tiny flower bud had appeared, though who knows how much time it would take to become a Red Fire Dragon Scale Fruit.

It was precisely because of the Red Fire Dragon Scale Tree that the Fire Flame Secret Realm could maintain its original state after losing its king.

However, if the Fire Flame Secret Realm did not gradually decline like other secret realms, I fear that in a few years, it is very likely that a king would forcibly enter the Fire Flame Secret Realm to search for the cause of the anomaly.

If it were only a few years, Li Changsheng would not be too worried; he believed that by then, he would at the very least be a king, sufficient to protect the Fire Flame Secret Realm.

Not far from the Red Fire Dragon Scale Tree, a Jade Ceramic Jar was placed, inside which was Liu Xudong's Space Ring; this was also Li Changsheng's main purpose for coming here this time.

At the first opportunity, Li Changsheng opened the Jade Ceramic Jar; the Starlight Divine Water inside seemed to be a little less than before.

After putting the Starlight Divine Water away, Li Changsheng poured out the Space Ring, immediately used Life Water to remove the residual Starlight Divine Water on it, and finally wiped it with a silk cloth.

The next moment, Li Changsheng's consciousness submerged into the Space Ring.

There were no surprises; after more than four months of erosion by the Starlight Divine Water, Liu Xudong's Soul Imprint had been completely eroded away.

Before checking the space, Li Changsheng specifically left his own unique Soul Imprint on the Space Ring.

In this way, before the Soul Imprint was broken, outsiders could not open it, which could keep secrets to a certain extent.

In an instant, a vast space appeared in Li Changsheng's mind.

This space was long and wide; Li Changsheng visually estimated that it was a square space, about 50 meters in length and width, and 10 meters in height, totaling twenty-five thousand cubic meters.

Li Changsheng had many Space Rings in his hands, but even ten of them added together were not as large as this one, which showed the difference between Space Rings.

However, compared to the area of this Space Ring, the items stored inside were much fewer, only piled up in one corner.

Even if it was just one corner, the area occupied exceeded three thousand cubic meters.

Li Changsheng began to scan with his Mental Power; the Soul Crystals here clearly exceeded one hundred thousand, and the Superior Soul Crystals alone exceeded ten pieces; this batch of Soul Crystals alone was enough to sustain Li Changsheng's consumption for several months.

Demon Cores went without saying; what surprised Li Changsheng was that there were actually three Demon King-level Demon Cores inside, two of the Water Element and one of the Fire Element.

"I can actually embed this Fire-type Demon Core into the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin to enhance its defense and endurance."

Li Changsheng thought to himself; the strength of the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin's purple flame Restriction was closely related to the grade of the Demon Core. If one possessed a large number of Demon King-level Fire-type Demon Cores, it might even be possible to withstand the attacks of Saint Grade Spirit Pets.

Similar to the difference between a lord and a Demon King, a Demon Saint and a Demon King were also two different levels; most adult Divine Beasts were Saint Grade, possessing the power to destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth.

Of course, this "destroying the heavens and extinguishing the earth" referred to destroying a secret realm or a small plane.

Besides the three Demon King-level Demon Cores, there were dozens of lord-level Demon Cores; judging from the quality and quantity of the Demon Cores, it was clear that this Space Ring originally belonged to Di Zhiyi, but was 'temporarily lent' to Liu Xudong.

What made Li Changsheng feel a bit of heartache was that in these few years, he did not know how many treasures Liu Xudong had consumed during this time, but it must have been much more abundant than it was now.

Next were mountains of various materials; most of these materials were relatively precious, and some were even at the level of Heaven and Earth Wonders, mostly related to alchemy and artifact refining materials.

This batch of materials alone was enough to supply Li Changsheng and Kailan for a period of time.

At this time, Li Changsheng took out two tokens; he looked at them carefully, and there was no token of Di Zhiyi. One was Liu Xudong's Identity Token, and the other contained rich starlight, with a silver star river engraved on one side and a crown on the other; he did not know what use it had.

From the partial memories obtained from Di Zhiyi, there happened to be some descriptions of this token; this token was obtained by Di Zhiyi during an adventure, and it was rumored to be related to the Star Emperor of the Ancient Period.

Unfortunately, Di Zhiyi had spent a lot of time and still could not explain the use of this token.

Like the Profound Emperor, the Star Emperor was also an emperor, but his era was quite distant; it was rumored that he practiced the "Zhou Tian Star Dou Demon Controlling Art".

As for the "Zhou Tian Star Dou Demon Controlling Art", Li Changsheng was naturally more than just envious, but unfortunately, even Di Zhiyi had not found it for so many years, so the possibility of him finding it was also not high.

After putting away the Star River Token, there were still eight most precious treasures placed in front of Li Changsheng.

Among them, four were treasures that Liu Xudong had obtained from the Heavenly Dipper Treasure Pillar, and the other four, he did not know if they were his own or Di Zhiyi's.

The first treasure was a book taken from the Heavenly Dipper Treasure Pillar; like Li Changsheng, the goals of Liu Xudong and Dou Yuanbiao at that time were also knowledge-based treasures.

When he saw the name on the book, Li Changsheng was stunned for a moment, and then showed a speechless expression.

There was no help for it; this was a book called "Spirit Communication Training Method", but unfortunately, Li Changsheng had already obtained this special training method from Di Zhiyi's memory.

However, for a force, the value of the "Spirit Communication Training Method" was even greater than a Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure-level treasure, sufficient to serve as a treasure to suppress the clan.

Li Changsheng flipped through the book without giving up, but unfortunately, it was useless; it was exactly the same as the one obtained from Di Zhiyi's memory.

Li Changsheng could easily recite such books from memory.

"So annoying, the first one went down the drain, next one!"

Li Changsheng picked up a piece of ore; this was a piece of Refined Gold, but its size was huge; after weighing it slightly, it was about seven or eight catties.

Although Li Changsheng had collected enough Refined Gold to refine the Imitation Demon Refining Pot, he could not have too much; if many Treasures were added with a little Refined Gold, not only would their power be greater, but it was also more likely to improve their grade.

The same principle applied to Secret Silver; this was also why Refined Gold and Secret Silver were both expensive and difficult to collect.

The third item was a piece of wood with golden patterns, about one meter long, but as wide as two or three people could embrace; from the broken part of the wood, one could see wisps of golden flames.

These golden flames were similar to Sun True Fire, but they did not have the overbearing destruction of Sun True Fire; instead, they gave people a holy and ethereal feeling.

From the feedback of his Mental Power, Li Changsheng could feel that the wood contained a large amount of Fire Element energy.

"Nine Luminaries Sun Wood!"

Li Changsheng recognized it at a glance, because this Nine Luminaries Sun Wood was originally Di Zhiyi's treasure.

This was a Heavenly Essence Grade treasure material, which could be used to refine Treasures, or ground into powder to refine medicine, as well as other uses.

"It can actually be used to make wheels!"

Li Changsheng thought to himself; legend had it that the main body of the Sun Palace was built from Nine Luminaries Sun Wood.

Of course, this piece of Nine Luminaries Sun Wood was just a small fraction, equivalent to a drop in the bucket for the Sun Palace, only enough to make wheels.

From the moment he obtained the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin, Li Changsheng had wanted to modify it, but he had never found a suitable treasure material to serve as wheels.

Li Changsheng did not have the idea of passing off inferior goods as superior; a vehicle could be said to be a person's face; like those top-tier vehicles worshipped by the world, which one did not possess a flashy appearance?

Not to mention top-tier vehicles, even some ordinary vehicles were as gorgeous as possible while taking into account practicality, wishing they could be known to the whole world.

The fourth and fifth were identical Jade Bottles, both containing some liquid; one contained golden liquid, and the other contained silver liquid.

Seeing these two types of liquid, no, the silver liquid, Li Changsheng became excited instantly.

The golden liquid was Sunlight Divine Water, and the silver liquid was the Moonlight Divine Water he was missing.

Moonlight Divine Water: Corrodes the primordial spirit and soul!

With this bottle of Moonlight Divine Water, Li Zhangsheng could attempt to fuse the Three Lights Divine Water.

The effects of the Three Lights Divine Water are extremely powerful; it is not only a miraculous healing medicine that can bring the dead back to life and regrow flesh on bones, but it can also be used for alchemy or artifact refining, and even applied to spiritual plants. It is rumored that even a top-tier spiritual plant on the verge of withering can be revived by the Three Lights Divine Water, and it can greatly accelerate the growth of spiritual plants.

No matter which effect it is, each is extremely precious, which is the reason for Li Zhangsheng's excitement.

The sixth item is a piece of parchment, faintly emitting a fluorescent glow, with a large number of distorted characters inscribed upon it.

This is not the common script of the continent, but a type of ancient pictographic script.

Li Zhangsheng has seen this type of ancient script before and had even studied it specifically, so he was able to recognize it.

"Lotus Platform Upgrade Secret Recipe!"

After reading the content above, a look of wild joy appeared in Li Zhangsheng's eyes, because this is a secret recipe that can increase the rank of lotus platform-type treasures.

As long as the corresponding materials are collected and the operation is performed correctly, the rank of a lotus platform-type treasure can be continuously increased; for example, Li Zhangsheng's Third-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform could be upgraded to Fourth-rank, Fifth-rank...

According to the description on this parchment, a lotus platform-type treasure can be upgraded to a maximum of Twelve-Grade, but the higher the rank of the lotus platform, the more precious the corresponding materials become.

Li Zhangsheng took a glance at the materials required to upgrade to a Twelve-Grade Lotus Platform and immediately felt his scalp tingle; he did not even want to look at it for another second, because the materials required to upgrade to a Twelve-Grade Lotus Platform are, at the very minimum, Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade materials.

Of course, a Twelve-Grade Lotus Platform is extraordinarily powerful; its defensive power alone is enough to leave the Taiyin Token in the dust, not to mention the various powerful functions it carries—anyone would covet it.

However, although he cannot upgrade it to Twelve-Grade, with the resources Li Zhangsheng possesses, upgrading the Third-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform to Fourth or Fifth-rank is more than enough, and even Sixth-rank is a certain possibility.

There is no other reason; the most important material for upgrading to a Sixth-Rank Star Palace Lotus Platform is one drop of Three Lights Divine Water, though the remaining materials will still take time to collect.

A Sixth-Rank Star Palace Lotus Platform, though it only differs from a Fifth-rank by one grade, has initially reached the World Wonder grade and cannot be mentioned in the same breath; not only is its defensive power considered formidable, but the amplification it provides for the cultivation of Star-Light Demon Taming Art is also considered terrifying.
