Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 1318: Chapter 455: Big Harvest! Infant Cultivation Flower, Heaven-replenishing Fungus!

Lu Changsheng stepped into the palace.

Though the interior was simple, it was fully equipped, with facilities for alchemy, artifact refining, cultivation quiet rooms, and more.

Evidently, Tianyuan True Monarch’s Second Nascent Soul not only cultivated here but also immersed himself in mastering the Hundred Arts of Cultivation.

He entered the Alchemy Chamber.

At the center stood a massive white golden alchemy furnace, supported by three legs, with thirty-six engraved Golden Crow Divine Birds radiating an ancient and profound aura.

“What an extraordinary alchemy furnace!”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes gleamed as he instantly recognized the uniqueness of the furnace.

He stepped closer for a detailed observation and determined that this furnace was likely a Fourth Rank alchemy furnace.

However, due to the passage of time and lack of use, its spiritual essence had been eroded, reducing its effectiveness to that of a Third Rank furnace.

“Nevertheless, it’s more than adequate. Perfect for replacing my old alchemy furnace at home.”

Lu Changsheng nodded in satisfaction.

He was only a Second-Order Alchemist.

For him, this furnace was more than sufficient.

Even if Hong Lian needed to remake her physical body and required Third-Order spirit pills, this furnace would suffice.

Moreover, with proper nurturing, the furnace might regain its Fourth Rank effectiveness.

Lu Changsheng then approached the adjacent table and opened several medicine bottles and jade boxes placed atop it.

Even though these elixirs and spirit medicines had been stored in porcelain bottles or jade boxes, millennia of passing time had caused their medicinal power to diminish significantly.

However, these elixirs appeared to be casually refined by Tianyuan True Monarch, with no presence of precious items like Coagulation Crystal Elixirs or Infant Transformation Elixirs, so Lu Changsheng felt only mild regret; he wasn’t particularly distressed.

If there had been a few degraded Infant Transformation Elixirs here, Lu Changsheng might have lost sleep for two and a half years over them.

After a brief inspection, Lu Changsheng entered the adjacent Artifact Refinement Room.

This room was much larger than the Alchemy Chamber.

At its center stood an enormous pitch-black Treasure Forging Platform.

Similar in grade to the alchemy furnace in the previous room, this Treasure Forging Platform was also of Fourth Rank, though its spiritual essence was somewhat eroded.

However, compared to the alchemy furnace, this Treasure Forging Platform was in relatively better condition, likely a quasi-Fourth-Rank item.

“With this Treasure Forging Platform, crafting magical treasures in the future will be much more convenient!”

After inspecting it for a while, Lu Changsheng couldn’t hide his joy.

Refining magical treasures was a highly intricate process.

Some treasures could be forged using Earth Vein Fire or Heavenly Spiritual Fire.

Others required specialized tools like treasure foundries and forging platforms.

This Treasure Forging Platform created by Tianyuan True Monarch undoubtedly possessed impressive capabilities.

It was equipped for quenching, refining, fine refining, smelting, pattern integration, molding, treasure consecration, and more.

With this Treasure Forging Platform, his top-tier Third-Order artifact refining skills could now be perfectly executed.

Then Lu Changsheng turned to the materials stacked in several corners of the room.

There were various ores, magical treasure materials, and demon beast bones, among others.

“Frost Mysterious Iron, Fire Prime Copper, Thick Earth Iron Essence…”

Lu Changsheng examined these exceptionally rare Heaven and Earth Spiritual Materials from the outside world, along with some materials he couldn’t name.

“Could this be the claw of a Fourth-Rank Great Demon King?”

At that moment, Lu Changsheng spotted a massive blood-red claw as large as ten feet.

Upon closer inspection, he felt an intimidating aura emanating from the claw.

Even after thousands of years, this claw still radiated a shocking presence, something no Third-Rank Demon King could achieve. It was highly likely the claw of a Fourth-Rank Great Demon King.

“No wonder so many people love exploring secret realms. Gains like these are undeniably captivating.”

Looking at the rare spiritual materials before him, Lu Changsheng exhaled deeply, feeling a sense of awe.

Initially, he believed his system made him indifferent to secret realm opportunities.

But now, he could only admit—it was truly tempting!

Even so, he still wouldn’t risk venturing into secret realms merely for potential gains.

After all, how many such fortunate encounters exist like the Tianyuan Secret Realm in the Cultivation World?

“With these materials, I’ll never have to worry about crafting magical treasures again.”

“If I wished, I could even forge three to five magical treasures for myself!”

Magical treasure materials were unlike elixirs. Even with spiritual erosion, their degradation wasn’t too severe.

Demon beast tendons, bones, and inner cores might suffer significant spiritual losses.

But for gold iron ores, as long as they were properly refined and purified, the impact would be minimal.

Full of anticipation, Lu Changsheng moved to explore the other rooms.

Next to him was a room dedicated to incense making, with an elegant and traditional ambiance.

It housed various kinds of incense sticks and sheets.

However, Lu Changsheng lacked expertise in incense making, so he refrained from testing their effects.

After all, incense effects varied greatly.

Some could calm the mind and spirit, aiding cultivation; others might induce hallucinations, cause deviation, or work as aphrodisiacs…

Lu Changsheng exited the incense-making room and entered the adjacent Talisman Room, where he acquired a Third-Order Talisman Brush.

There were also jars of Spirit Ink and stacks of Talisman Paper.

But due to their age, all their spiritual essence had waned, rendering them unusable.

When Lu Changsheng reached the wine cellar, however, he was overjoyed.

Most Heavenly and Earthly Treasures and spirit medicines would lose their spiritual essence over time without proper preservation.

But spiritual wine was different!

It could absorb nature’s spiritual energy and ferment, making the spiritual energy in the wine more refined and potent, enhancing its quality.

Lu Changsheng opened a jar of spiritual wine.

Instantly, the intoxicating aroma of the wine filled the entire cellar, captivating the senses and soothing the mind.

After thousands of years of storage and fermentation, this spiritual wine had reached Fourth Rank!

“Hiss, these six jars of spiritual wine are now practically priceless.”

Lu Changsheng was pleasantly surprised, marveling at the breadth of Tianyuan True Monarch’s interests.

Alchemy, artifact refining, incense making, talisman making, wine brewing…..

Each skill reached at least Third Rank.

He entered the next room and saw six insect nests.
