Chapter 717: Seven Treasures Glazed Bead (First update, seeking everything)

At the foot of the small hill on the right, there was also a cave; unlike the entrance to the Dragon Lair, this cave was not large, standing only about two meters high.

Besides that, at the entrance of the cave, there existed a layer of light screen, the strength of which appeared quite considerable.

Li Zhangsheng took out the Patriarch Token and made contact with the light screen; ripples emerged in layers, and the light screen formed a portal that allowed one person to pass through.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng withdrew Aixi and stepped into the cave together with Kailan.

Every few meters, a Night Pearl was embedded in the ceiling of the cave; under the illumination of the Night Pearls, the originally dark cave was revealed in every detail.

In the process of moving forward, Li Zhangsheng's nose twitched slightly, and he smelled an extremely faint fragrance.

The further he walked, the more intense the fragrance became, and his entire spirit gradually relaxed.

Li Zhangsheng was not on guard, because from the memory of Spirit King Liu Yongtu, he already knew the trick behind this cave.

The cave was not very deep, and soon Li Zhangsheng and Kailan reached the end.

At the end of the cave, the light here was a few degrees brighter than outside.

This was a small cavern; what caught the eye was a three-to-four-meter-long stalactite hanging upside down from the top of the rock wall, which was semi-transparent and, under the illumination of the Night Pearls, enhanced the brightness of the cavern.

At the tip of the stalactite, there was half a drop of liquid, faintly flickering with seven-colored glazed brilliance; this was the source of that fragrance.

Below the stalactite, there was also a special Jade Bottle placed, inside which more than half a bottle of liquid had already been collected, though it was unknown how long it had taken.

This Jade Bottle was quite peculiar; although it sealed the liquid dripping from the stalactite, it did not emit a single wisp of fragrance, as if all the aroma of these liquids had been locked inside the Jade Bottle.

Li Zhangsheng directly picked up the Jade Bottle, a smile appearing on his face; what was contained in this Jade Bottle was precisely Glazed Pure Water.

The two bottles of Glazed Pure Water that Liu Xuguang had were sourced from here; it could continuously produce Glazed Pure Water, but it only formed one drop every ten days.

Even so, it was extremely precious, especially for Li Zhangsheng; with this Glazed Pure Water, the growth cycle of the Tree of Life could be significantly shortened.

Of course, Li Zhangsheng could not take this small hill away; he did not yet have such great power.

However, from the memory of Spirit King Liu Yongtu, Li Zhangsheng learned that the reason this cave produced Glazed Pure Water was because Spirit King Liu Yongtu had placed a special treasure in the rock wall above this stalactite.

This matter, Spirit King Liu Yongtu had not revealed to others.

Li Zhangsheng projected his Mental Power and truly felt a strong energy fluctuation existing above the stalactite.

Judging from the intensity of the energy fluctuation, this treasure had already reached the Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade, and had reached the limit of the Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade, equivalent to a treasure of the level of the Fifth-rank Kui Water Black Lotus.

Li Zhangsheng did not order Kailan; he took action himself, first carefully digging down the entire stalactite; this stalactite was also a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, which could slightly improve the quality of the Glazed Pure Water when it was forming, though this was a long-term process.

Chii—

The next moment, as if inserting into tofu, Li Zhangsheng inserted half his arm into the rock wall, and when he pulled it out, there was an extra precious bead in his hand.

This was a precious bead flickering with seven-colored glazed luster, slightly larger than an adult's fist; from the memory of Spirit King Liu Yongtu, he learned that this bead was named Seven Treasures Glazed Bead, a treasure born of heaven and earth.

In the process of coming into contact with the Seven Treasures Glazed Bead, Li Zhangsheng's entire state of mind clearly calmed down.

This Seven Treasures Glazed Bead could not only produce Glazed Pure Water, but also possessed the effect of refreshing and concentrating the mind, and could significantly reduce the aftereffects of disturbances in the Consciousness Sea.

After all matters were concluded, Li Zhangsheng left the cavern, riding Aixi as he flew toward the direction where the Secret Realm portal was located.

There were about twenty minutes left until the three-hour deadline.

This time, Li Zhangsheng had gained a great deal.

In terms of wild Spirit Beasts, he had harvested a total of one Superior Quality Mingluo Kun, two adult Mingluo Kun, eight adult dragons, and more than twenty Superior Fairy-grade beasts.

Oh right, there were also four Qingming Longevity Cats.

Although these four Qingming Longevity Cats were only of Medium Grade quality, their importance to Li Zhangsheng was comparable to dragons.

In terms of spiritual plants, there were the Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade Lanxin Fruit Tree and Sacred Zhilan Grass, dozens of Heavenly Essence Grade plants, and a large number of low-to-mid-tier spiritual plants.

In terms of treasures, there was one Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade Seven Treasures Glazed Bead, and four Heavenly Essence Grade treasures.

In just over two hours, Li Zhangsheng had harvested so many benefits, completely emptying the essence of the Liu Yongtu Secret Realm, leaving behind only some mediocre low-to-mid-grade wild Spirit Beasts.

With the current output of the Secret Realm, even if the Langya Liu Clan continued to maintain it, it would be a losing business; to generate profit again, it would likely take decades.

On the return journey, Li Zhangsheng began to inspect the four treasures and several Inheritance Jade Slips obtained from the dragons.

There was nothing much to say about the Inheritance Jade Slips; they were all low-to-mid-level Spirit Beast Taming Arts and Secret Techniques, which were of no use to Li Zhangsheng.

If there were no surprises, the collections of these eight dragons had likely already been screened by the Langya Liu Clan, and Li Zhangsheng was effectively picking up what they had left behind.

Among these four treasures, one was a Wind Element Top-Grade Treasure, but it was not of superior quality, and what it improved was not speed, but the power of Wind Element skills, along with an attached cutting effect.

This could only be considered an ordinary Top-Grade Treasure, and it was of no use to Li Zhangsheng.

The second treasure was a pitch-black ore; this type of ore was named Luoying Stone, which could effectively increase the hardness of Strange Treasures.

The third treasure was a Seven-Colored Rainbow Pearl; its size and appearance were similar to ordinary jewelry, making it easy to be confused with ordinary jewelry, leading to the mixing of the fake with the genuine, which was also the root of Li Zhangsheng's picking up a bargain.

The last one was a seed the size of a bean, looking just like a soybean; Li Zhangsheng had also spent some time finding it from a pile of treasures; if his special ability were not extremely special, he would have truly missed it, and it was unknown what could be grown from it.

However, due to being placed for too long, the vitality of this seed had become extremely weak, but Li Zhangsheng had the Tree of Life, Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, the Dangkang Necklace, and Xiaoguai, who was a natural Spirit Planter, so he had sufficient confidence to cultivate it.

It was just that a seed on the verge of death was emitting energy fluctuations of the Heavenly Essence Grade; if cultivated to maturity, it would at the very least be a Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade spiritual plant, and even a top-tier spiritual plant was possible.

When Aixi flew to the destination, Li Zhangsheng handed this seed to Xiaoguai, entrusting her to take care of it meticulously.

Not long after, an oval-shaped space portal appeared in front of Li Zhangsheng.

Li Zhangsheng had already recalled his Demon Pets, transformed back into the appearance of Liu Xuguang, and stepped into the space portal.

Amidst a dizzying spin, Li Zhangsheng stepped out of the space portal and appeared in front of Liu Zongheng.

As expected, there were only Li Zhangsheng and Liu Zongheng here for the time being.

"Ancestor!"

Liu Zongheng greeted him respectfully.

"Hmm, you have done well; this treasure is bestowed upon you!"

While speaking, Li Zhangsheng took out a Jade Box.

Liu Zongheng revealed a look of great joy, hurriedly stepping forward impatiently, about to respectfully take the Jade Box.

The moment Liu Zongheng grabbed the Jade Box, the Jade Box burst open with a 'bang', and a black light suddenly rushed toward Liu Zongheng's face.

Liu Zongheng was, after all, a Sixth-Rank Expert; his reaction was not slow, and he hurriedly tilted his head, narrowly avoiding this black light.

Taking advantage of the moment Liu Zongheng's attention was focused on the black light, Li Zhangsheng followed through with a hand-blade, striking fiercely against his neck.

This time, Li Zhangsheng used his full strength.

Liu Zongheng only felt a pain in the back of his neck, and amidst a dizzying spin, he saw a familiar body, only this body had no head, and the severed neck was spurting blood like a fountain.

"So this is me!"

Liu Zongheng's eyes widened; he could not fathom why the ancestor would kill him, and then, his vision went black as he lost his final consciousness.

Under the influence of Mental Power, the spurting blood did not land on Li Zhangsheng.

The reason for killing Liu Zongheng was, firstly, to deplete the current highest combat power of the Langya Liu Clan; secondly, to draw the Langya Liu Clan's attention here so he could take the opportunity to act; and finally, to incidentally plunder Liu Zongheng's resources—the collection of a Sixth-Rank Expert would surely yield some gains.

After Liu Zongheng's headless corpse fell to the ground, Li Zhangsheng scavenged the treasures and Space Ring on his body with the fastest speed, then immediately chose to leave.

Li Zhangsheng's appearance changed once again, reverting to that Langya Liu Clan disciple who did not deserve to have a name, and he quickly left the area.

Liu Zongheng had sent that team of Langya Liu Clan disciples away, naturally leaving a certain interval of time, so his corpse would likely not be discovered immediately, and Li Zhangsheng could use this time to head to his next destination.

As for why Li Zhangsheng did not go on a killing spree, wake up; this is the capital of the Langya Kingdom, and it is not very far from the Imperial Palace. If he were to go on a killing spree in the Langya Liu Clan's base, he would likely find it difficult to escape.

Taking a step back, even if he succeeded in escaping, Li Zhangsheng's identity would be exposed; after all, his Demon Pets are far too eye-catching. By then, how could he continue to survive in the Langya Kingdom? It might even implicate his family and the Academy.

However, killing a few people is still acceptable; as long as it does not cause too much turmoil, it is easy for him to escape amidst the chaos.

Li Zhangsheng strolled along the main road, beginning to head toward his next target.

"Should I go to the Library Pavilion? Or the Treasure Pavilion?"

Li Zhangsheng was a bit hesitant; given the current situation, he could only rob one of them. If he were to be insatiably greedy, it would not be easy to escape.

This is the territory of the Langya Liu Clan; even if they have lost a Pseudo-King, one cannot guarantee they do not have some trump cards. Not to mention defeating Li Zhangsheng, but if they could just stall him for a moment, that would be bad—this is also what Li Zhangsheng fears most.

My first floor was flooded again, miserable. The key is that the power is also out, so I can only use my phone to type, and now my phone is out of power too.

Today's goal: three, pigs, proof!
