Chapter 701: Inheritance Pearl and Divine Machine Sulfur (Second update, requesting all)

~11 min read 2,062 words

The precious collection of a Demon King-level giant dragon is, to be honest, exceptionally abundant.

In the process of taking inventory, Li Changsheng wished he could sprout wings and go rob a few more Demon King-level giant dragons.

After taking out all the spoils obtained from the Dragon Nest of the Red Dragon King, they formed a small hill composed of various treasures.

According to Sylvanas, the Red Dragon King Yanasansi had been a Demon King-level for over a hundred years; its collection naturally far exceeded that of the Black Dragon Hei Long Ha Li Ku Qi, who had not long since advanced to the Demon King-level at the time, and the two collections could not be mentioned in the same breath.

The treasures Li Changsheng took from the Dragon Nest reached at least the Heaven and Earth Wonder level, totaling a full hundred items.

These treasures basically shared one characteristic: they were dazzling, which fit the aesthetic of a giant dragon.

After weeding out the Heaven and Earth Wonder-level treasures, fewer than ten items remained that reached the Heavenly Essence Grade.

Even so, this was an exaggerated amount of resources.

Among them, there were three Top-Grade Treasures, though only one could be considered a boutique item.

Qiangliang's Wrath: A Thunder-Type Top-Grade Treasure, crafted from the hair of Qiangliang and dozens of auxiliary materials; it can increase the power of Thunder Attribute skills by sixty percent and enhance the effect of Paralysis.

As a Thunder Attribute Top-tier Divine Beast, Qiangliang has a rather strange appearance: holding a snake in its mouth, holding a snake in its hands, with a tiger's head and human body, four hooves, and long elbows, it is even stronger than an Ancestral Thunder Titan.

"It actually has the exact same effect as the Thunder Lord's Silver-Blooming Hammer; I might as well give it to the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast to use!"

After obtaining the Heavenly Spirit Fruit Tree, Li Changsheng could open a Second Treasure Space for his remaining main Demon Pets, and the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast would then be able to carry a second Treasure.

Among the remaining treasures, Li Changsheng picked up a golden pearl about three centimeters in diameter; this was also the smallest item in this pile of treasures, shimmering with a bright golden light.

"Geng Metal Pearl!"

In the blink of an eye, Li Changsheng recognized the name and effect of the pearl.

Geng Metal Pearl: Heavenly Essence, can significantly increase the probability of Gold Element Demon Pets breaking through the Lord-level bottleneck. Note: Non-Gold Element Demon Pets must not use it.

Although it is not a treasure for breaking through to the Demon King-level, for those Monster Tamers who have long been unable to advance to the Sixth Rank, the Geng Metal Pearl is still a treasure they crave.

Additionally, the breakthrough probability of the Geng Metal Pearl far exceeds that of a Bloodline Potion; even with the attribute restriction, its value is clearly higher.

The second item was another bead, not much larger than the Geng Metal Pearl, but this time it was a seven-colored pearl.

Inside this Seven-Colored Rainbow Pearl was a rainbow composed of seven different colors; it looked just like a seven-colored glass marble.

"Seven-Colored Rainbow Pearl!"

Li Changsheng recognized it at a glance; this treasure could likewise heal a Demon Pet's congenital deficiencies and could also allow a Demon Pet to gain the ability to ride the Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud.

He had no Demon Pets with congenital deficiencies in his hands, so he decided to let the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast consume this Seven-Colored Rainbow Pearl, along with the Thunder Origin.

However, now was not the time; he decided to wait until the next time the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast broke through to have it consume the Thunder Origin and the Seven-Colored Rainbow Pearl together; perhaps he could gain another Demon King-level Demon Pet.

The third item was a black crystal the size of an infant's fist; Li Changsheng recognized at a glance that this was a Dark Element Crystal, which could increase the Elemental Power of Dark Elves and also had a certain effect on Darkness-type Demon Pets; he planned to use it to trade with Tian Jingling in the future.

The fourth item was a Blood Spirit Ginseng, which could allow a Demon Pet to awaken a second Bloodline.

This was useful to Li Changsheng; among his Demon Pets, only Aixi, Datou, and Round-and-Round possessed dual bloodlines. If his other Demon Pets also obtained dual bloodlines, it would not only increase their strength but might also incidentally improve their quality slightly.

To others, this would be a useless burden, as collecting Divine Beast Essence Blood is too difficult, but Li Changsheng was unique; the thing he lacked the least was Divine Beast Essence Blood.

However, Li Changsheng had not yet reached a conclusion on which Demon Pet should obtain the second bloodline.

At this moment, Li Changsheng picked up the fifth treasure, his expression slightly stunned as he looked at the golden stone in his hand.

Rather than a stone, it was more like fire-red sulfur; it looked shiny and carried a powerful aura. Li Changsheng, who frequently extracted Spirit Essence, immediately recognized this as the aura belonging to a Fire Phoenix.

"Could this be Divine Machine Sulfur?"

Holding this piece of sulfur, Li Changsheng specifically took out a large, thick book.

Over these past three months, Li Changsheng had specifically hired several students from the Yuanling Academy to consolidate dozens of books on items, resulting in this book that Li Changsheng named the "Encyclopedia of Treasures".

This book covered almost all treasures, so it was naturally not just ordinarily thick, containing a full several thousand entries.

In this way, Li Changsheng no longer needed to carry a large number of books on items like before, and looking things up was much easier.

Very quickly, Li Changsheng flipped to the page corresponding to Divine Machine Sulfur; the top half was a picture of the Divine Machine Sulfur, and the bottom half was a description of it and its effects.

The reason Divine Machine Sulfur is rare is mainly because the conditions for its birth are too harsh; the other conditions are manageable, but the condition of a Fire Phoenix residing there year-round is very difficult to satisfy.

Fire Phoenixes naturally exist in this world, but their numbers are likely no more than a handful.

"It really is Divine Machine Sulfur!"

After a long while, Li Changsheng finally reached a conclusion, and a brilliant smile could not help but appear on his face.

With this piece of Divine Machine Sulfur, he could attempt to refine Luck Incense Candles; although there were not many opportunities to use such a one-time treasure, there would eventually be a time when it was needed.

"In other words, the Rongduan Mountain Range once had a Fire Phoenix residing there for a long time!"

Li Changsheng also thought of this possibility; he prepared to ask the Red Dragon King Yanasansi where this piece of Divine Machine Sulfur was obtained the next time he went to the Rongduan Mountain Range.

If it was in the Rongduan Mountain Range, it would mean that a Fire Phoenix had indeed resided there for a long time, and Li Changsheng would use his special ability to search the entire Rongduan Mountain Range.

There is an old saying that a phoenix does not land in a place without treasures; in legends, wherever a phoenix stops, there are treasures, not to mention a place where it resided for a long time.

Of course, the so-called treasures here might be the Fire Spirit Stone mines buried under the Rongduan Mountain Range, or they might be other treasures; in any case, as long as there was a glimmer of possibility, Li Changsheng would not let it go.

The sixth treasure was a fruit as large as a watermelon, with leaves like millet, red markings, and black veins.

At this time, Ning Bizhen interjected: "This should be the fruit of the Dan Wood!"

"It really is!"

Li Changsheng pondered for a moment and nodded.

The Dan Wood belongs to the Fire-type Divine Wood and is only one step away from being a Top-tier Spiritual Plant; its fruit is quite peculiar—as long as one eats the fruit of the Dan Wood, one can not only reduce fever and stop heat but also enhance Fire-type resistance.

Judging from the description in the book, it is not necessary to eat the entire Dan Wood fruit; as long as one eats a certain weight, one can enhance Fire-type resistance.

Judging by the weight of this Dan Wood fruit, it could be divided into more than twenty portions, which was just about enough to satisfy the many Demon Pets of Li Changsheng and Ning Bizhen.

Very quickly, including the Temporary Spirit Pets, almost every Demon Pet was allocated a portion of the Dan Wood fruit.

Of course, Demon Pets like the Crowned Blazing Bird and the Three-Legged Fire Crow, which are Immune to Fire, did not need to waste it.

After eating the Dan Wood fruit, many Demon Pets began to feel hot all over, emitting scorching heat from every pore, and one by one they rushed into the pond to cool off.

Demon King-level Demon Pets were different; this bit of heat did not have much of an impact on them, and although it was not very comfortable, it was within their tolerance.

Until this moment, Li Changsheng picked up the last item.

This item was a lustrous bead; it appeared unremarkable, yet under the sensing of his Mental Power, it was actually the existence with the most intense energy fluctuation among these treasures.

Not long after, with the help of Ning Bizhen, Li Zhangsheng finally confirmed that this was an Inheritance Pearl.

The Inheritance Pearl is very peculiar; it is a magical, one-time-use treasure, and a Monster Tamer can store a vast amount of knowledge within an Inheritance Pearl.

The better the material of the Inheritance Pearl, the more knowledge it can store; as long as a fated person obtains it, they can absorb this knowledge, which is just like an enlightenment, hence the name Inheritance Pearl.

The feeling the Inheritance Pearl gives people is similar to the effect of the World Wonder—the Spirit Gathering Stele.

It is just that the Spirit Gathering Stele requires a Bloodline or aura guidance to be passed on to others, and the memories are relatively complex.

The Inheritance Pearl is different; anyone can absorb the content within it.

Once, there was an unremarkable First-rank Beast Master who accidentally obtained an Inheritance Pearl originating from an Emperor, successfully received the Emperor's inheritance, saw his strength skyrocket, and eventually became a Double-Character King.

This is a high-grade Inheritance Pearl, likely storing a vast amount of knowledge; as long as the user presses it against their forehead, they can see the stored content.

Without a word, Li Zhangsheng pressed the Inheritance Pearl against his forehead and immersed his consciousness within it.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng saw some of the content, and just as this content was about to swarm into his mind, he hurriedly stopped.

Li Zhangsheng discovered that the knowledge stored in this Inheritance Pearl was very singular; it was entirely about Alchemy techniques and insights, with no inheritance related to Monster Tamers.

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng handed the Inheritance Pearl to Kailan; the Alchemy knowledge sealed within an Inheritance Pearl must be extraordinary, and at the very least, it could save her from taking some detours.

Kailan did not stand on ceremony and quickly absorbed the inheritance within the Inheritance Pearl.

Crack—crack—clatter—

During the absorption process, cracks began to appear on the Inheritance Pearl, then grew more numerous, and finally, it shattered with a boom, scattering all over the floor.

After a long while, Kailan opened her eyes and couldn't help but rub her swollen head; the knowledge recorded in the Inheritance Pearl was too vast and would take some time to digest.

"Zhangsheng, this contains the lifelong Alchemy techniques, insights, and experiences of an Alchemy Master; after some time, perhaps I will be able to become an Alchemy Master."

Kailan's face was brimming with confidence; having the inheritance of this Alchemy Master was enough to improve her Alchemy skills by a large margin in a short period.
