Chapter 645: Luck Incense Candle, Geng Metal Elite, Aixi's Bloodline Metamorphosis (Second Update)

This type of treasure is extremely unique; even for Li Zhangsheng, it is his first time seeing that such a treasure could even exist.

Luck Incense Candle: A one-time special treasure, tanned and crafted from over two hundred types of materials including Divine Machine Sulfur and Life Ball Tree Leaf. When the Luck Incense Candle burns, the direction with the most intense aroma often represents the direction with better luck. Note: The Luck Incense Candle possesses a not-insignificant margin of error.

Without a doubt, the Luck Incense Candle is a type of mystical, one-time treasure; after all, the concept of luck is ethereal and intangible, yet profound and unfathomable.

However, this item also has its uses; for instance, when encountering forks in the road or facing danger, one can use the Luck Incense Candle, and it might just turn a crisis into safety.

But looking at the names of those two hundred-plus materials, Li Zhangsheng also finds it quite a headache. Fortunately, apart from the Divine Machine Sulfur and the leaves of the Tree of Life, the remaining materials are relatively common and can be collected without much time.

As for the leaves of the Tree of Life, Li Zhangsheng, who possesses Life Water, is least lacking in this regard; thus, he only needs to search for the Divine Machine Sulfur.

Divine Machine Sulfur is also born near volcanic craters, but compared to ordinary sulfur, its conditions for birth are extremely harsh.

One, it must have been bathed in the aura of a Fire Phoenix for years.

Two, it must have experienced nine volcanic eruptions.

Three, it must have encountered a sunspot flare.

Of these three conditions, the first one alone is difficult to meet; although this world is vast and boundless, there are not many Fire Phoenixes.

When it comes down to it, this is only a Small Thousand World.

Taking a step back, even if it had been bathed in the aura of a Fire Phoenix for years, it still has to undergo nine full volcanic eruptions; during this process, even sulfur that had been bathed in the aura of a Fire Phoenix for years would mostly be eliminated.

Relatively speaking, the third condition is actually the simplest; after all, every few decades or centuries, this world will experience a sunspot flare.

However, wanting to fulfill these three conditions, the difficulty coefficient is not generally high.

Li Zhangsheng shakes his head; he can only ask a few material channels to help collect Divine Machine Sulfur or inquire about news. As for whether it will be successful, that is hard to say.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng opens the first Jade Box.

Inside the Jade Box lies a spirit plant that looks like a tree root, with mysterious yellow gas emerging on it, drifting around the spirit plant, looking quite strange.

Xuanhuang Root!

Li Zhangsheng recognizes it at a glance, because he had obtained one once before, so naturally, the memory is still fresh.

This is a Heavenly Essence Grade spirit plant; as long as one takes the Xuanhuang Root paired with a Lanxin Fruit, there is a certain probability of allowing a Demon Pet to enter a state of Bloodline Metamorphosis. The higher the bloodline concentration of the Demon Pet, the lower the probability.

Because there is no Lanxin Fruit, Li Zhangsheng can only temporarily put away the Xuanhuang Root.

"How did I open three items that are temporarily useless to me!"

Li Zhangsheng cannot help but rub his hands, only then realizing he forgot to bathe, change clothes, burn incense, and pray.

"I don't believe it!"

After finishing his sentence, Li Zhangsheng immediately opens the next Jade Box.

This is a square Jade Box, and it is only the size of an adult's fist.

Just as he opens the Jade Box, for some reason, Li Zhangsheng's spirit is lifted, and he instantly perks up.

Inside the Jade Box is a Soul Crystal the size of half an adult's fist; its size is equivalent to a Superior Soul Crystal, but its degree of translucence far exceeds it, and it does not have the slightest bit of suppression.

Just seeing this Soul Crystal, Li Zhangsheng seems to recall something, and his expression suddenly becomes excited.

"Could this be a Top-Grade Soul Crystal?"

While Li Zhangsheng thinks this to himself, his right hand cannot help but touch this Soul Crystal.

As soon as contact is made, Li Zhangsheng's whole body shudders; he feels an extremely pure and abnormal soul power, which almost does not need to be refined to replenish his Mental Power.

This feeling is completely different from a Superior Soul Crystal, because Superior Soul Crystals are also pure, but they still contain some impurities, which must be expelled during refinement, otherwise, it will have a negative impact on the Consciousness Sea.

And this Soul Crystal has no impurities at all and can be absorbed instantly. After reducing the most time-consuming step, the speed of recovering Mental Power is several times faster than that of a Superior Soul Crystal.

This is definitely a Top-Grade Soul Crystal; even though it is Li Zhangsheng's first time seeing one, with such pure soul power, it is absolutely impossible to be wrong!

A Top-Grade Soul Crystal not only has a faster Mental Power recovery speed, but it also far exceeds a Superior Soul Crystal in cultivation.

According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, if one uses a Top-Grade Soul Crystal to assist in cultivation, the cultivation speed might be able to directly double.

Besides this, there is the value of the Top-Grade Soul Crystal.

The conventional exchange rate, just like the 1:100 ratio of Superior, Mid-grade, and Low-grade Soul Crystals, allows a Top-Grade Soul Crystal to be exchanged for 100 Superior Soul Crystals, but no one would be stupid enough to exchange at this ratio.

This is mainly related to the quantity of Top-Grade Soul Crystals; only large Soul Crystal Mines have the possibility of gestating Top-Grade Soul Crystals, and each large Soul Crystal Mine often only has one.

Although large Soul Crystal Mines are renewable resources, Top-Grade Soul Crystals are ultimately very limited. Therefore, no matter who obtains a Top-Grade Soul Crystal, they will not easily take it out for exchange.

Although he obtained a Top-Grade Soul Crystal, it is a pity that the color of this Top-Grade Soul Crystal is already a bit dim. Li Zhangsheng senses it and finds that this Top-Grade Soul Crystal only has less than half of its soul power left.

Even so, it is still precious.

"With my current realm, if I use it for cultivation, I'm afraid it can only last for three months at most!"

Although a Top-Grade Soul Crystal can be exchanged for one hundred Superior Soul Crystals, the soul power it contains is only ten times that of a Superior Soul Crystal, especially since this Top-Grade Soul Crystal contains less than half its soul power; being able to last three months is already considered very lucky.

"What a spendthrift!"

Li Zhangsheng complains; this is almost equivalent to consuming five thousand Soul Crystals every day to accelerate cultivation, which is really not ordinary luxury.

After putting away the Top-Grade Soul Crystal, Li Zhangsheng opens the last Jade Box.

Inside the box is a golden treasure bead the size of an adult's fist, emitting a dazzling golden halo throughout its body.

As soon as Li Zhangsheng touches it, there is a needle-like sensation, but it does not pierce his skin.

Even so, with his current physical strength, for it to still give him such a feeling, one can see its sharpness; if a low-tier Monster Tamer were to touch it, their right hand would likely become a bloody mess upon contact.

Only after touching it with his hand does Li Zhangsheng judge from the tactile sensation that this is not a treasure bead, but a treasure condensed entirely from liquid.

"It really is Geng Metal Elite!"

Li Zhangsheng reveals a smile; he recognizes its identity almost at a glance.

There is no way around it; apart from the color and properties, this thing looks almost exactly like Wutu Essence and Kui Water Essence.

Geng Metal Elite: A Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure; while enhancing the damage of Gold Element skills, it comes with a certain armor-piercing effect and automatically grants comprehension of Geng Metal Divine Thunder. Note: This item contains a large amount of Gold Element energy; do not use it if you are not an Elite-level or higher Gold Element Demon Pet, otherwise, there is a danger of sudden death.

The effect is similar to Wutu Essence and Kui Water Essence, except it has a certain armor-piercing effect and is limited to Gold Element Demon Pets.

Li Zhangsheng has two Gold Element Demon Pets, namely Aixi and Adai. Since he has already decided to give the Wutu Essence to Adai to absorb, he cannot favor one over the other, so this Geng Metal Elite naturally belongs to Aixi.

Most importantly, just now, the strength of the round one exceeded Aixi's, making Aixi's mood very bad right now, and she has fallen into a state of helpless rage.

Being surpassed by Kailan was one thing, as Aixi was well aware of Kailan's diligence, and besides, the two Demon Pets had a quite good relationship. But being surpassed by the one known for being lazy, Roundy, was truly vexing.

Glancing at Aixi, who was still throwing a fit of impotent rage, Li Zhangsheng directly tossed the Geng Metal Essence to Aixi.

Aixi instinctively opened its mouth, and the Geng Metal Essence dove straight into its throat, reaching its stomach in one go.

In an instant, Aixi was covered by a rich golden glow, and its aura grew increasingly powerful.

Aixi's consciousness appeared once again in the depths of its Consciousness Sea; its consciousness was relatively illusory, clearly still some distance away from recovery.

Although the consciousness was a bit illusory, its surface was covered with a layer of sharp golden light, which increased its attack power.

Due to its attributes, two Profound Meaning Thresholds existed in Aixi's Consciousness Sea, among which the Wind Profound Meaning Threshold had a large hole in it, occupying almost half of the threshold.

Without hesitation, Aixi began to ram the threshold.

Every time it struck the edge of the large hole, there would be some progress.

As the large hole continuously expanded, Aixi's consciousness became increasingly illusory, but the Profound Mystery Energy leaking from the threshold was also continuously strengthening Aixi's consciousness.

In this trade-off, as long as Aixi's consciousness did not become completely illusory, the force of its impacts would not decrease by much.

Rumble~

It was unknown how much time had passed, but just as Aixi's consciousness was about to become completely transparent, a powerful explosion finally resounded throughout the entire Consciousness Sea; the Wind Profound Meaning Threshold shattered completely, revealing a pale cyan Profound Meaning Ocean.

Aixi's illusory consciousness fell into the Wind Profound Meaning Ocean, and its consciousness began to condense rapidly at an astonishing speed.

With the help of the Profound Meaning, Aixi's consciousness not only recovered to its peak state but also became much more condensed, giving one a feeling of being reborn.

After fully recovering, Aixi's consciousness rushed out of the Wind Profound Meaning Ocean and immediately began to ram the Gold Profound Meaning Threshold.

Rumble~

In just a few breaths of time, Aixi completely shattered the Gold Profound Meaning Threshold, revealing a golden Profound Meaning Ocean.

In this way, the number of Demon King Demon Pets Li Zhangsheng possessed successfully reached four; with his current strength, he would definitely rank in the top five on the Langya Kingdom Hundred Battles Ranking, very likely second only to the three Kings.

At the same time, after Aixi successfully advanced to the Demon King level, a surge of Profound Mystery Energy instantly poured into his Consciousness Sea, then exited the Consciousness Sea and surged collectively into Li Zhangsheng's chest.

Under the tempering of the Profound Mystery Energy, Li Zhangsheng's body trembled violently, his bones crackled, and except for his spine, all the bones located in his chest became jade-like.
