I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

”Daoist Jade Golden Bottle!”

”Master, it truly is the Daoist Jade Golden Bottle. When that strange insect entered the hall, there were still some miscellaneous records and books left behind. It perused them, gaining wisdom and learning about the existence of this bottle!”

”This is a genuine Tier Four Spiritual Treasure; it can autonomously absorb the Essence of the Great Sun and extract the Nine Nether Taiyin, combining Yin Yang Qi to naturally produce, condensing the Yin Yang Dao Jade!”

”This jade contains great creation, and just one piece is worth a Golden Core Cultivator’s century of arduous cultivation!”

”As long as this treasure is properly placed, with enough Spirit Charm and undisturbed, one piece of Dao Jade can be obtained every twenty-two years!”

”This means a Golden Core Cultivator can depend on this treasure to certainly cultivate two thousand strands of Gold-Attribute Magical Power within four hundred and forty years!”

”This is the legacy treasure of the Spirit Treasure Sect. Though it cannot be used for combat, it is the supreme treasure for cultivation!”

”Moreover, this jade embodies the Dao of Yin and Yang, which subtly enhances a cultivator’s Root Bone and wisdom. With prolonged use, it greatly reduces the bottleneck for breaking through to the Daoist Embryo!”

The Heart-devouring Insect stood on Gu Yuan’s shoulder, excitedly speaking to him.

Along the cultivation path, while treasures of combat are certainly precious, those that can enhance one’s cultivation realm are the most coveted.

No matter how peerless your Artifact is or how unbeaten you are in the same realm, if you cannot break through in time, you will still end as mere dust!

But with this treasure, it’s equivalent to having another ’self’ cultivating for you; the body only needs to focus on cultivating the Dharma Seal without worrying about inadequate Mana.

”Buzz, buzz!”

Gu Yuan’s Mana surged, transforming into an invisible large hand, intending to take hold of this bottle. However, the bottle, though seemingly light, bore the weight of a mountain, and despite exerting all his Mana, Gu Yuan could not move it.

”Master, do not be anxious; this bottle is a Spiritual Treasure, and its Spiritual Nature is naturally self-generated. To obtain it, you must gradually refine it!”

Seeing this, the Heart-devouring Insect hurried to speak.

”How does one refine a Spiritual Treasure?”

Gu Yuan frowned and asked.

Though he has read many records, his knowledge of refining Spiritual Treasures remains scant.

After all, this is already at the Daoist Embryo level of realm.

”There are two methods to refine a Spiritual Treasure: one is to have it voluntarily recognize the master, and the other is to forcibly grind it with Pill Fire.”

”Master can use Heart and Spirit to stir the treasure, and it will naturally examine the Master. If it is willing, it can be refined by the Master in an instant!”

”If it is unwilling, Master can only stew it with Pill Fire.”

”Though Spiritual Treasures are high-grade, they lack resistance without a master. Three months of stewing, and the treasure will inevitably be refined by the Master!”

The Heart-devouring Insect learned this from the memories of the Blood Soul Strange Insect and explained it promptly.

”Three months?!”

”How can I possibly wait that long?”

Gu Yuan hadn’t anticipated such intricacies in refining Spiritual Treasures.

In seven days, he’ll be sent out of the Secret Realm.

”A Spiritual Treasure chooses its master by evaluating their aptitude and strength to avoid disgracing itself. With Master’s strength, surely it can subdue this treasure?”

The Heart-devouring Insect chuckled, showing no concern.

Those few corpses outside are the best evidence.

Just a Tier Four Spiritual Treasure, not an Immortal Artifact, would dare underestimate our Master?!

”Master, please stir the treasure; Little Insect guarantees that the treasure will certainly recognize you as its master!”

The Heart-devouring Insect flapped its wings, speaking with confidence.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan didn’t hesitate; he released his Divine Soul Power, gently touching the golden bottle.

”Boom!”

In an instant, a weak consciousness, through Gu Yuan’s Divine Thought, abruptly penetrated his body.

This consciousness flowed, traversing Gu Yuan’s Golden Bone Thunder Aperture, his Dragon Essence Golden Core, and also his Five Thunders Punishment Heaven Seal, Ten Thousand Roar Spirit Sound Seal, Tribulation-avoiding and Substituting Killing Seal, Three-Heart Gold Seal, Demon Realm Seal, Water Moon Celestial Escape Seal... Then it suddenly turned, passing through Gu Yuan’s glabella, staying briefly above the Great Thunder Origin Cave Divine Dharma Eye, and as if sensing something, moved above the Sword Pill in Gu Yuan’s sleeve.

”Buzz, buzz!”

Without Gu Yuan making a move, the two-foot Jade Golden Bottle on the Jade Altar instantly vibrated excitedly, then plunged directly through his abdomen, entering his Dantian, becoming inseparable from him!

Instant refining!

The Heart-devouring Insect was right; the Daoist Jade Golden Bottle instantly recognized its master, refining in a blink.

”It’s true!”

Gu Yuan felt a sense of joy in his heart, flipping his palm, a two-foot tall bottle appearing instantly in his hand, light as a feather, seemingly weightless.

”Clang!”

Gu Yuan raised the golden bottle, tilting it downward.

Immediately, an extraordinary liquid of gray and white dual tones fell from the bottle, Dao Charm flowing, Golden Pearls landing on the plate, creating an unusual sound.

Yet this poured liquid did not disappear; it steadily solidified, eventually forming a jade block of Yin Yang color.

”Clang!”

And the Dao Liquid within the bottle had yet to vanish.

The Dao Charm circulated again, with the sound of Golden Pearls landing on the plate, resulting in another Yin Yang colored jade block gradually solidifying.

”Clang!”

”Clang!”

”Clang!”

The Dao Liquid seemed never-ending, forming three more Dao Jades.

Six pieces!

Seven pieces!

Eight pieces!

Nine pieces!

Ten pieces!

A total of ten Yin Yang Dao Jades, all lined up before Gu Yuan.

The Dao Jade was silent, yet Gu Yuan sensed the abundant and boundless Mana flowing within, like a Great River, endlessly surging!

Ten Dao Jades; one is equivalent to a hundred years of cultivation, thus ten are a thousand years!

This is not merely ten pieces of jade; it is a thousand years of arduous cultivation!

Ordinary Golden Core Cultivators spend their entire lives accumulating this amount of Mana.

”A Tier Four Spiritual Treasure, indeed extraordinary, yet regrettable...”

Seeing this, Gu Yuan felt both joyous and regretful.

He rejoiced because the Daoist Jade Golden Bottle, after thousands of years of accumulation, had yielded ten Dao Jades, which could enhance him by one thousand strands of Mana, saving countless labor.

Regretful because the Daoist Jade Golden Bottle capped at ten pieces of Dao Jade; only when one Dao Jade is refined can another be condensed, not endlessly.

Once the bottle is full, condensation ceases.

Furthermore, the bottle demands a high-quality ”Spiritual Land”, where Yin Yang converges, and the Spirit Meridian is abundant within Tier Four Spiritual Land to absorb the Great Sun and condense the Taiyin to birth Dao Jade.

The Spirit Treasure Sect placed the bottle here because Spirit Treasure Cliff is precisely where Yin Yang converges, capable of condensing Great Sun Essence and absorbing the Power of the Great Yin.

And a Spiritual Land generating ten Dao Jades has nearly reached its limit; to generate more, it must be relocated or wait for long years until the Yin Yang Spiritual Mechanism reconverges.

And how long this will last is unknown...

While powerful, the Daoist Jade Golden Bottle — the most enhancing treasure Gu Yuan had witnessed in his life for cultivation — remained limited and unable to endlessly condense.

Otherwise, the Spirit Treasure Sect would long have become an immense powerhouse!

”Ten Dao Jades...”

”All the hardships of this journey were worthwhile!”

Yet, Gu Yuan was very pleased with ten Dao Jades.

This is a thousand years of cultivation!

Once refined, his Mana will directly leap from seven hundred and fifty strands to one thousand seven hundred and fifty strands, marking a significant advance toward the Late Stage Golden Core and sparing uncounted wasted years.

The Golden Core Cultivators’ cultivation is very challenging; the formation of each strand of Mana results from years of refining.

Even among Tier Four Sects, there are merely a few at the Late Stage Golden Core.

Even Gu Yuan, possessing only seven hundred and fifty strands thus far, were it not for his Dragon Essence Golden Core, which tripled his power, making him peerless in battle, he wouldn’t stand a chance against those veterans of centuries.

This trip had value!

He now could seize the opportunity to peer into the Late Stage Golden Core!

Heaving a deep breath, Gu Yuan calmed his thoughts, temporarily storing away the golden bottle.

The intense Spiritual Power within the Dao Jade is extremely daunting; ordinary cultivators need three months to refine it.

Gu Yuan estimated that even with his Dragon Body refining it, it would be quite arduous, and today’s Dragon Body Transformation had concluded.

At the quickest, he can wait for tomorrow.

Taking advantage of this time, Gu Yuan’s Mana swept up, retrieving two Jade Registers from the Jade Altar.

The registers were one gold, one silver, with several small characters on the silver Jade Register:

”Profound Yang Demon Transformation Seal!”

On the gold Jade Register were tadpole-like Seal Patterns:

”Great Dream Inference Golden Seal!”
