Chapter 605: Shuimu Miaozhen Pearl, Yaochi Gold Jade (Second Update, seeking votes)

After returning to his room, Li Zhangsheng specifically bathed and burned incense, hoping only that his luck would not be too poor.

At the first opportunity, Li Zhangsheng took out the three treasures obtained from the Demon King-level white dragon.

These three items were the treasures with the most intense energy fluctuations among the Demon King-level white dragon's numerous collections, so naturally, they were not ordinary goods.

The first treasure was a pocket-sized steel hammer, with silver electric sparks occasionally appearing and constantly swirling around it.

Very quickly, Li Zhangsheng finished his appraisal.

This was a Top-Grade Treasure, and furthermore, a fine specimen among Top-Grade Treasures.

Thunder Lord Blooming Silver Hammer: A Top-Grade Thunder Attribute Treasure, crafted with the skeleton of a Xizi as the main body and dozens of materials as supplements, made through rigorous procedures; it can increase the power of Thunder Attribute skills by 60% and simultaneously carries a Paralysis effect.

The Xizi has a human face and a bird's body, wears green snakes on its ears, and holds red snakes in its hands; it is one of the rare Thunder Attribute Divine Beasts.

The first item was already a fine specimen among Top-Grade Treasures, and it even carried a highly cost-effective Paralysis effect, which naturally made Li Zhangsheng reveal a smile.

Without any surprises, Li Zhangsheng handed the Thunder Lord Blooming Silver Hammer to the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast to carry.

Li Zhangsheng looked at the second item; it appeared on the surface like gold of extremely high purity, but in reality, it was a piece of jade.

If one observed carefully, one would discover that there was a large amount of golden, misty energy within the jade, which looked quite miraculous.

Yaochi Gold Jade: A Heavenly Essence Grade item; if absorbed by a Demon Pet, there is a certain probability of causing the Demon Pet to enter a Bloodline Metamorphosis state. The higher the Demon Pet's bloodline concentration, the lower the probability.

Without a doubt, Yaochi Gold Jade is a precious Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, especially for the vast majority of Monster Tamers.

However, the metamorphosis probability of Yaochi Gold Jade is certainly not comparable to the combination of Xuanhuang Root and Lanxin Fruit; judging from the records in books, Demon Pets below the Rich Bloodline have about a 20% probability of metamorphosis.

As for Demon Pets with Rich Bloodline, there is only a pitiful 3% probability.

Additionally, it is ineffective for Demon Pets with Robust Bloodline.

Li Zhangsheng's 13 Demon Pets are all Demon Pets with Rich Bloodline concentration; he truly had no need to gamble on this crappy 3% probability of the Yaochi Gold Jade, especially since he had already collected all the materials for the Imitation Demon Refining Pot, and once the Imitation Demon Refining Pot was crafted, there would be a not-insignificant improvement in purifying bloodlines.

"Better give it to Bizhen."

Li Zhangsheng thought for a moment; taking out the Yaochi Gold Jade for trade would be too wasteful, not to mention that Ning Bizhen still had a few Demon Pets that had not yet reached the Rich Bloodline.

Besides that, if the Demon Pet happened to be at the critical breakthrough point and completed the metamorphosis, it could more or less increase the probability of advancing to the Demon King level.

After putting away the Yaochi Gold Jade, Li Zhangsheng looked at the third treasure.

This time it was a Jade Bottle; after opening the bottle stopper, it contained a colorless liquid, yet it emitted a seven-colored glazed radiance.

Merely being illuminated by the seven-colored radiance, Li Zhangsheng felt a sense of total comfort throughout his body.

Through the color, scent, and sensation, Li Zhangsheng quickly found its information in an ancient book.

Glazed Pure Water: A Heavenly Essence Grade item, possessing powerful healing efficacy, and it can significantly shorten the growth time of spiritual plants; the effect depends on the grade of the spiritual plant—the higher the grade of the spiritual plant, the less it is shortened, and vice versa.

Following Heavenly One True Water and Three Lights Divine Water, Li Zhangsheng had obtained the third type of water-based Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure; its healing effect was not as good as Three Lights Divine Water, and it lacked the efficacy of Heavenly One True Water for compounding medicine, refining treasures, and extinguishing fires, but it had a tremendous promoting effect on the growth of spiritual plants alone.

"I wonder what kind of effect it has on Top-tier Spiritual Plants?"

Li Zhangsheng muttered to himself; he only had one such Top-tier Spiritual Plant, the Red Fire Dragon Scale Tree, and there was another seedling suspected to be a Top-tier Spiritual Plant still growing.

When this seedling was still a seed, its energy fluctuation was already at the Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade, and as the seedling gradually grew, the energy fluctuation it emitted became increasingly astonishing.

Li Zhangsheng had reason to suspect that when this seedling grew to the end, it might very well be another Top-tier Spiritual Plant.

The efficacy of Top-tier Spiritual Plants is astonishing; the two functions of stabilizing Secret Realms and absorbing void energy alone are enough to make Kings covet them endlessly, not to mention the fruits borne by Top-tier Spiritual Plants.

It was also because of this that Li Zhangsheng was very attentive to this seedling.

The only flaw is that the growth cycle of Top-tier Spiritual Plants is often very long; even if watered with Life Water every day, coupled with the efficacy of Breathing Soil and the assistance of Xiaoguai's Rain of Sweet Dew spell, although it significantly accelerated its growth speed, according to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, he feared it would still take decades to mature.

Now with this bottle of Glazed Pure Water, it might be possible to quickly shorten the seedling's growth time, only he did not know what the effect on it would be.

Like Three Lights Divine Water and Heavenly One True Water, the Glazed Pure Water was also clearly distinct, but its volume was not large, with each drop only the size of a fingernail.

After finishing the three treasures obtained from the Demon King-level white dragon, Li Zhangsheng felt very satisfied; he rubbed his hands vigorously and took out the two boxes from the Core Treasury.

Li Zhangsheng first picked up a key and impatiently opened the long wooden box.

The treasure contained in this wooden box could be said to have reached the top-tier Heavenly Essence Grade, only a fraction short of the Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade.

Crack!

While unlocking it, the long wooden box underwent some subtle changes.

Li Zhangsheng knew in his heart that after successfully opening the box, the one-time triggered Restriction attached to the box also vanished into thin air.

Just as the Jade Box was opened, a wave of azure water vapor rushed toward his face; Li Zhangsheng hurriedly gathered his Mental Power, and since this water vapor did not carry any special abilities, it was immediately gathered and constrained by Li Zhangsheng's Mental Power.

Before Li Zhangsheng could observe it, this water vapor automatically transformed into a bead the size of an infant's fist, hovering in front of Li Zhangsheng.

This kind of treasure that could freely change its form was something Li Zhangsheng could say he was seeing for the first time.

"What is this thing?"

Li Zhangsheng stared for a long while, still unable to find a clue, so he had to take out a pile of books regarding treasures and began to search.

These books numbered in the dozens; as long as it was a treasure that had appeared in the world, it could almost be found within them.

"There are too many books, and the key is that most of the content is overlapping; after I go back, I will hire people to organize and compile a brand-new book on treasures."

While flipping through the books, Li Zhangsheng muttered to himself, but this required a large amount of time and energy, so he had no intention of doing it himself, but instead prepared to spend money to hire people to organize it.

Even though this item was extremely rare, Li Zhangsheng eventually found its information.

Shuimu Miaozhen Pearl: A Heavenly Essence Grade item; if absorbed by a Water Attribute Demon Pet, there is a relatively high probability of causing the Demon Pet to enter a Bloodline Metamorphosis state. The higher the Demon Pet's bloodline concentration, the lower the probability.

This is a treasure with similar efficacy to the Yaochi Gold Jade, except that the Shuimu Miaozhen Pearl is only aimed at Water Attribute Demon Pets.

The Shuimu Miaozhen Pearl is a top-tier Heavenly Essence Grade treasure, and coupled with it being aimed only at Water Attribute Demon Pets, this also caused the probability of Demon Pet metamorphosis to far exceed that of the Yaochi Gold Jade.

Judging from the introduction in the books, the metamorphosis probability of the Shuimu Miaozhen Pearl is higher than the combination of Xuanhuang Root and Lanxin Fruit; Demon Pets below the Rich Bloodline have about a 40-50% probability of metamorphosis.

As for Water Attribute Demon Pets with Rich Bloodline, it is less than a 10% probability; limited by the treasure's grade, it is ineffective for Water Attribute Demon Pets with Robust Bloodline.

Although the probability was significantly higher than the Yaochi Gold Jade, it was still chicken ribs to Li Zhangsheng; rather than gambling on this ethereal probability, it was better to enhance Ning Bizhen's strength.

The stronger Ning Bizhen's strength, the more beneficial it would be for him.

After putting away the Shuimu Miaozhen Pearl, Li Zhangsheng took out the Ding-15 Treasure Box; this was a square Jade Box, and judging from the energy fluctuation, it contained a Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade treasure.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng used the key to open the Jade Box.

Inside the Jade Box lay a fruit the size of a fist, its entire body shimmering with five-colored rays of light, giving one a crystalline and translucent feeling, while a strange fragrance faintly emerged from it.

Upon seeing this fruit, Li Zhangsheng was visibly stunned; this fruit was so familiar, because just over three months ago, he had obtained one from Xu Wenhua.

That's right, this was another Xuanqiong Five-Colored Glazed Fruit!

"Could it be that the Imperial Family possesses a Top-Grade Spiritual Root that produces the Xuanqiong Five-Colored Glazed Fruit?"

While Li Zhangsheng was delighted, he could not help but speculate in his heart.

It was no wonder Li Zhangsheng made this conjecture, because the two Xuanqiong Five-Colored Glazed Fruits he had obtained were both closely connected to the Imperial Family.

Very quickly, Li Zhangsheng withdrew his thoughts; even if his guess were correct, so what? With his current strength, could he possibly snatch away this Top-Grade Spiritual Root?

Furthermore, based on the characteristics of Top-Grade Spiritual Roots stabilizing Secret Realms and absorbing void energy, even if the Imperial Family truly had a Xuanqiong Five-Colored Glazed Tree, it was highly likely to be within the Blessed Land of the Dark Night King, Dou Cangqiong.

Compared to Dou Cangqiong, the current Li Zhangsheng was simply a mayfly shaking a giant tree, so he naturally couldn't be bothered to think about it further.

"Who should I give it to?"

Looking at this Xuanqiong Five-Colored Glazed Fruit, Li Zhangsheng began to ponder.

Since the Xuanqiong Five-Colored Glazed Fruit is only limited to Demon Pets possessing the five elements, those without five-element attributes were naturally the first to be excluded.

Besides that, Aixi and Datou both possess non-five-element sub-attributes, and it is unknown if they would be affected, so for the sake of safety, they were also excluded by Li Zhangsheng.

After further excluding Adai, who had already eaten a Xuanqiong Five-Colored Glazed Fruit, the only ones remaining who met the requirements were Kailan and the Crowned Blazing Bird.

"Forget it, wait until I advance; this is, after all, a Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure Grade fruit, which can more or less increase the probability of advancing to the Demon King level."

Li Zhangsheng had a plan; even if the weather was poor over the next few days, he was still confident in reaching the breakthrough critical point within five days.

In this way, he should also prepare for the next step, such as becoming a Pseudo-King in one go, just like Ning Bizhen.

After looking through all his gains, Li Zhangsheng did not immediately set out to refine the Imitation Demon Refining Pot; refining this thing was not easy, and he prepared to refine it together with Ning Bizhen after returning.

As for purifying the Elf King Essence Blood, that would also have to wait until the Imitation Demon Refining Pot was finished, so that more Elf King Essence Blood could be obtained.

That same afternoon, Li Zhangsheng and the others sat in the Dragon Horse Hall and began their return journey.
