Chapter 990: Supreme Longevity Dew (Second update, requesting everything)

When Li Zhangsheng left the Imperial Book Pavilion, he had two additional Inheritance Jade Slips in his hands.

These were two Top-tier Secret Techniques, namely Immovable as a Mountain and Bloodthirsty Pursuit.

Immovable as a Mountain: Top-tier Secret Technique, significantly increases defensive power, remaining as steady as a great mountain, and exempts lethal damage.

Bloodthirsty Pursuit: Top-tier Secret Technique, increases a Demon Pet's explosive power several times over, but at the cost of the Demon Pet losing its sanity.

Of these two Top-tier Secret Techniques, the Immovable as a Mountain Secret Technique goes without saying; it can save a Demon Pet's life at a critical moment or exempt a portion of damage.

As for the Bloodthirsty Pursuit Secret Technique, because it causes the Demon Pet to lose its sanity, it can often only be activated when victory is about to be secured; otherwise, it easily puts the Demon Pet in a dangerous situation.

These two Top-tier Secret Techniques can, to a greater or lesser extent, improve Li Zhangsheng's combat power and will also make his tactics more varied.

Acting on the principle that greed leads to poor digestion, Li Zhangsheng did not take any other books or Secret Techniques, preparing to wait until he had fully digested these before considering more.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng returned to Hurricane Fortress via the Teleportation Array in the Imperial Palace.

As soon as he returned to the palace, Li Zhangsheng locked himself in his bedroom.

He did not immediately condense the Secret Technique Imprint, nor did he read that batch of books; instead, he took out a table cast entirely from gold.

On the table were five Treasure Boxes of varying sizes and materials; these were the spoils Li Zhangsheng had obtained from the Huang Jia Nei Ku of the Langya Kingdom, only they were wrapped in a Composite Restriction. Once opened forcibly using external force, the Self-Destruction Restriction would activate and annihilate the treasures.

According to Li Zhangsheng's estimation, what was contained in these five Treasure Boxes was at the very least Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure grade, and there was a not-insignificant possibility that a World Wonder existed among them.

"I wonder if the Forbidden Bead is useful against a Composite Restriction?"

Li Zhangsheng had no confidence; after all, a Composite Restriction is different from an ordinary Restriction. Even if the Forbidden Bead were effective, the energy consumed would certainly be much more than for a standard Restriction.

Before experimenting, Li Zhangsheng activated the Forbidden Array in the bedroom.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng activated the Forbidden Bead, bringing the Forbidden Bead into contact with the Restriction on the blue Treasure Box.

The Forbidden Bead began to blink frantically, its energy rapidly declining.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

During this process, cracks began to fissure across the surface of the Forbidden Bead.

After a few breaths, the Composite Restriction wrapping the blue Treasure Box finally underwent a change; a small hole began to emerge and grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this change, Li Zhangsheng felt a surge of joy; as long as it was effective, that was enough.

When the size of the small hole slightly exceeded the size of an adult's fist, Li Zhangsheng moved suddenly, his right hand swiftly passing through the hole to grab the blue Treasure Box.

The moment they made contact, the blue Treasure Box disappeared, having been directly stored into his Space Ring.

The volume of the blue Treasure Box clearly exceeded the small hole; to avoid the Forbidden Bead consuming energy too quickly, Li Zhangsheng had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.

Boom—

The instant the blue Treasure Box disappeared, before Li Zhangsheng could withdraw his arm, the Composite Restriction activated instantly and suddenly exploded.

The Hunyuan Golden Lamp appeared, hanging down Five-Colored Tassel, shrouding Li Zhangsheng along with the remaining four Treasure Boxes.

It was just that Li Zhangsheng's right hand was still inside the Composite Restriction and was temporarily outside the range of protection.

The explosion of the Composite Restriction was undeniably intense; Li Zhangsheng only felt a numbness in his right hand, followed by a piercing, excruciating pain.

Except for his right hand, the explosion of the Composite Restriction was entirely neutralized by the Hunyuan Golden Lamp.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng's right hand was dripping with blood, and in many places, the jade-colored bone was exposed; if this were the right hand of an ordinary Emperor Rank, the Jade Bone would likely have been shattered directly.

In fact, even if it were broken, it would not matter; it could be repaired using Alchemical Pill of the Severed Finger Regeneration type, which was why Li Zhangsheng was willing to take the risk.

After consuming a Healing Pill, Li Zhangsheng's right hand began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In a mere five minutes, his right hand recovered as before.

Li Zhangsheng did not check the blue Treasure Box, and immediately placed the Forbidden Bead onto the Composite Restriction of a golden Treasure Box.

Using the same method, Li Zhangsheng successfully obtained the golden Treasure Box, though his right hand suffered quite a bit, being blasted until it was dripping with blood once again.

After obtaining the two Treasure Boxes, the energy of the Forbidden Bead had also been depleted by more than half, and it was covered in a large number of cracks, giving one the feeling that it could shatter at any moment.

Li Zhangsheng sensed it and discovered that less than twenty percent of the Special Energy contained within the Forbidden Bead remained.

Because of this, he did not continue to attempt it, because if he continued, it would very likely lead to failure and would destroy the treasures inside.

Li Zhangsheng took out the two Treasure Boxes and opened the blue Treasure Box first.

Inside the Treasure Box were three Jade Bottles filled with a pale purple liquid; beside them was a Jade Slip specifically introducing this item, which was almost entirely covered in text.

Li Zhangsheng picked up one of the Jade Bottles at random, and upon opening it, a faint purple glow bloomed, accompanied by a peculiar fragrance.

Just by smelling it, Li Zhangsheng felt a sense of total comfort throughout his body.

After resealing the Jade Bottle, Li Zhangsheng scanned the Jade Slip.

Supreme Longevity Dew: Heaven and Earth Rare Treasure, can significantly reduce the growth time of spiritual plants; the effect depends on the grade of the spiritual plant. Note: The higher the grade of the spiritual plant, the less the reduction, and vice versa.

Upon seeing the name Supreme Longevity Dew for the first time, Li Zhangsheng subconsciously assumed it was a treasure for extending life, only to discover that it was a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure with the same effect as Glazed Pure Water, though its grade was one level higher than Glazed Pure Water.

What is certain is that the Supreme Longevity Dew has a better growth effect on spiritual plants than Glazed Pure Water.

In fact, one can imagine that if it were truly a treasure for extending life, it would have long since been consumed by the Dark Night King; how could it have been placed in the Huang Jia Nei Ku?

However, the Supreme Longevity Dew is a good thing for Li Zhangsheng; after all, he possesses several Top-Grade Spiritual Root plants.

It is just that Li Zhangsheng has no intention of using it for the time being; he plans to wait until that seed takes root and sprouts, then use the Supreme Longevity Dew on that seed; perhaps he will obtain a Top-Grade Spiritual Root that is one grade higher than the Tree of Life.

This is a matter worth looking forward to!

That seed has already been handed over by Li Zhangsheng to Xiaoguai, who has planted it in that Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, and every short interval, she waters it with Life Essence, occasionally adding a Sweet Dew Spell; as long as there are no accidents, he believes it can certainly be cultivated.

After putting away the three bottles of Supreme Longevity Dew, Li Zhangsheng opened the golden Jade Box.

As soon as the golden Jade Box was opened, a jade brilliance rushed out of the Treasure Box, striking the light curtain formed by the Forbidden Array and causing ripples to spread.

"Eh!"

Li Zhangsheng was startled, but his movements were not slow; he used the binding power of the Forbidden Array to instantly bind the treasure, and only then did he begin to examine this treasure.
