Chapter 719: Chapter 269: Settling the Gains! Treasure Map!_2

“It seems they were preparing to refine a batch of Foundation Establishment Elixirs. Now they’re just short of a Heavenly Spirit Fruit and a special Monster Core of the Second Rank,”

Lu Changsheng said with a laugh.

With this Illusion Heart Grass, he could start refining Foundation Establishment Elixirs when he got back.

“If we collect a Heavenly Spirit Fruit or a special Second Rank Monster Core later, we can directly gather all the ingredients for a batch of Foundation Establishment Elixirs.”

“Even if we don’t use them ourselves, these few Spiritual Medicines are also quite valuable.”

...
Lu Miaoge said with a smile on her face.

Although she was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and had seen some of the world, she had never had such a bountiful harvest before.

The three of them chatted while they sorted through their loot.

“Red Sun Melting Gold Technique, an Exquisite Level Cultivation Technique. Cultivating the Red Sun True Fire, melding with Hundred Refined Pure Gold…”

“Black Tiger Overpowering Body, an Exquisite Level Cultivation Technique. Infusing body with essence blood of tiger lineage Demon Beasts, refining the flesh, capable of demonic transformation…”

Lu Changsheng found two Jade Slips inside a brocade box.

He knew these must be the Cultivation Techniques practiced by the red-robed man.

He glanced over briefly, the Red Sun Melting Gold Technique was quite good.

But the Black Tiger Overpowering Body was less so.

Although the physical body became strong and domineering, far surpassing ordinary Body Refinement Techniques,

the process of refining affected one’s nature, blending the essence blood of Demon Beasts into one’s body, and caused one’s physique to grow increasingly massive.

Setting the brocade box aside, Lu Changsheng continued to inspect another brocade box.

As soon as this box was opened, a burst of intense heat and a fragrant scent invigorated Lu Changsheng’s spirit slightly.

“Hmm? Is this… Fire Marrow Date!?”

Lu Changsheng saw a date-sized item inside the brocade box, resembling a piece of agate on fire.

This Fire Marrow Date was an important auxiliary material for refining the ‘Coagulation Crystal Elixir.’

However, Lu Changsheng’s recognition of this Fire Date wasn’t because of the Coagulation Crystal Elixir’s ingredients.

Instead, this Fire Marrow Date was one of the Core Formation Spiritual Objects.

Consuming it alone could potentially enhance the effect of cultivating Fire Attribute Techniques during the push to Core Formation.

“Fire Marrow Date, this is a Core Formation Spiritual Object, somewhat helpful for breaking through to Core Formation, and also one of the main auxiliary materials for the Coagulation Crystal Elixir!”

Lu Miaoge was also excited when she saw the agate date.

She said to Lu Changsheng, “Changsheng, you can also start gathering some Core Formation Spiritual Objects now and collect the materials for the Coagulation Crystal Elixir.”

“Hehe, there’s no hurry,”

Lu Changsheng chuckled and replied, “With this Fire Marrow Date, today’s expenditure on Talismans has been recouped.”

He and Lu Miaoge had used a total of five Supreme Talismans of the Second Rank, nine Middle Grade Talismans of the Second Rank, twenty-seven Lower Grade Talismans of the Second Rank, and eighty-one First Grade Talismans in their prior battle.

Not to mention Lu Miaoge’s single strike with her Talisman Treasure, the total cost was about thirty to forty thousand Spirit Stones.

Yet, just this one Fire Marrow Date was worth thirty to forty thousand Spirit Stones.

It took the better half of an hour for the three to clear out the Storage Bags of the six Robber Cultivators.

Inside, there were three hundred and nineteen Middle Grade Spirit Stones.

And twenty-three thousand and fifty-two Lower Grade Spirit Stones!

Three Supreme Spiritual Artifacts, two Superior Spiritual Artifacts, three Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts, five Lower Grade Spiritual Artifacts, and four Supreme Magic Artifacts.

However, two of the Supreme Spiritual Artifacts were the Divine Fire Cover and Golden Bell of the red-robed man and the bald man, respectively.

One was severely damaged by the Nine Tribulations Divine Light,

the other was directly battered beyond repair during the chaos of the Talisman Formation, almost rendered as scrap.

The other Spiritual Artifacts were relatively undamaged, at most having minor wear.

Apart from Spirit Stones, Spiritual Artifacts, Magic Artifacts, Elixir Medicines, Talisman, Spiritual Medicine, Cultivation Technique inheritances, and a pile of other precious Spiritual Materials,

one Third Rank ‘Purple Dragon Wood’ particularly surprised Lu Changsheng.

This kind of Spiritual Wood that could be used to make Talisman Paper was very rare in the usual course of things.

“Pan Yuan Turning Technique.”

Lu Changsheng inspected each Jade Slip.

This was a Technique Jade Slip, admittedly a Peripheral Sect Level Cultivation Technique within.

However, this Cultivation Technique, like the “Red Phoenix True Scripture” he obtained before, could only be cultivated up to the Core Formation stage. There was nothing further.

“Two Peripheral Sect Level Cultivation Techniques, both only reaching up to the Core Formation Stage. Is this a coincidence or what?”

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, deep in thought.

Although it could only be cultivated up to Core Formation, it was still considered a top-tier Technique.

Counting this Peripheral Sect Level Technique, Lu Changsheng had garnered three Exquisite Level Techniques in this haul, as well as a Second Rank Superior Talisman Path inheritance and the Formation Path insights from the effeminate man.

“Changsheng, this seems to be a treasure map related to an Ancient Relic Site,”

Lu Miaoge, holding an aged and old-fashioned sheepskin scroll drawn on some kind of material, spoke up.

“A treasure map, an Ancient Relic Site!?”

Lu Miaohuan, present nearby, suddenly peaked in interest at this news, joining her sister to examine the treasure map.

Most Cultivators in the Cultivation World are deeply interested in exploring relic sites,

because they all know from what they hear and see that ordinary Cultivators must rely on fortuitous encounters—many explore relic sites for it.

“It looks like the Ancient Relic Site that the Robber Cultivator mentioned earlier is this one,”

“But this kind of thing is interesting to look at, there’s no need to take it too seriously,”

Lu Changsheng said with a laugh.

He had no interest in treasure maps,

in his opinion, the least valuable thing was just this kind of treasure map.

While it might sound precious, with chances for Core Formation or Nascent Soul opportunities within the relics, no one knew the specific value or how to directly obtain it.

Once someone set their heart on treasure hunting, not only was there no guarantee of a reward, but it could also bring a torrent of trouble and danger, and one might just end up losing their life for nothing.

So that kind of item, let whoever wants it take it.

“Hmm.”

Lu Miaoge nodded gently in agreement when she heard this.

Although she was quite interested in treasure maps, she had no intentions of exploring Ancient Relics.

After examining some miscellaneous items, the three of them estimated that, excluding items like Technique inheritances that were hard to value, the total was worth roughly two hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
