Chapter 402: Chapter 210: Purple Crystal Bamboo, Fragmented Map, Lovers United

Coming out of the training room, Fu Changsheng struck the stone door on the left side of the living room’s quiet chamber with a palm, and with a rumble, the stone door opened, releasing a rush of fragrance into the air.

He focused his gaze.

He saw unbelievably that in the quiet chamber, there was a bamboo six feet tall being cultivated.

On the bamboo, like spiritual rice, dangled a handful of rice spikes, with each round grain swirling with glimmers of purple light:

”This is...”

If he remembered correctly.

This should be the legendary Purple Crystal Bamboo.

Purple Crystal Bamboo takes a thousand years to mature, and thereafter, it flowers and bears fruit once every fifty years, with grains resembling rice spikes known in legend as Purple Crystal Rice.

Purple Crystal Rice can condense the divine soul.

In other words.

Refining Purple Crystal Rice can greatly enhance divine sense.

Fu Changsheng was thrilled:

”Truly, it’s a blessing in disguise!”

He had been painstakingly searching for the Soul-Storage Pill recipe without success, hence delaying his practice of the Great Derivation Technique. Now, with this Purple Crystal Rice, it can entirely replace the effect of the Soul-Storage Pill, and even surpass it.

That is to say.

Next.

He could begin practicing the ”Great Derivation Technique”, and once he reaches the second level, he can start learning the Smoke Mist Illusion spirit technique and crafting a clone.

The Purple Crystal Rice on the Purple Crystal Bamboo was evidently mature.

Fu Changsheng glanced at the soil around the roots of the Purple Crystal Bamboo and noticed quite a few already decayed Purple Crystal Rice grains had fallen:

”What a pity.”

After all, it takes fifty years for this Purple Crystal Rice to flower and produce rice once.

Fu Changsheng immediately cast a spell to gather the Purple Crystal Rice, carefully stored it in a box, and then used the Five Spirits Transport Technique to transplant the Purple Crystal Bamboo to the Yellow Stone Medicine Garden.

Now, besides the Fourth-Transformation Cyan Lotus and the Tree of Spiritual Eyes, there stood a Purple Gold Bamboo in the Yellow Stone Medicine Garden.

Coming out of the quiet chamber.

Fu Changsheng stood at the last unopened stone chamber.

Which was the owner’s living quarters:

”I wonder if there are any treasures inside.”

With a hint of anticipation.

A technique was cast on the stone door.

With a rumble.

The stone door opened.

What met his eyes was a cross-legged skeleton.

Besides this.

The entire stone chamber was empty.

Fu Changsheng bowed to the skeleton.

After all, he had obtained the Illusion Firework Essence and Purple Crystal Bamboo from the person.

Using divine sense.

Fu Changsheng murmured softly:

”Strange, where is the storage bag on this person?”

The cave owner had nothing on him.

The entire secret chamber.

He checked thoroughly with his divine sense but found nothing unexpected:

”Could it be that someone has been in this cave mansion before?”

Otherwise, why would it be so thoroughly ransacked?

After confirming there were no treasures, standing before the skeleton, Fu Changsheng felt a touch of melancholy; even a Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion would face a day of extinction.

With no descendants.

Not even someone to collect the remains.

Fu Changsheng clasped his hands together and bowed in respect.

With a tap on the storage bag, a flash of dawn light emerged, ancient sandalwood appeared, and with his spell casting, a coffin was quickly forged. With a point of his forefinger, the skeleton, under the influence of mana, immediately fell into the coffin, and the lid closed.

Fu Changsheng planned to find an auspicious site for burial.

While turning to leave.

Fu Changsheng suddenly halted his steps.

Swiftly turned back.

Staring at the ground where the skeleton originally sat.

He saw a restriction residue engraved there, and Fu Changsheng, with a thought, cast a technique into it, with a bang, prying open the stone slab.

Following.

An ancient jade scroll came into view:

”This is.....”

After confirming it wasn’t a trap, he beckoned with his hand, and the jade scroll immediately fell into his hand. A technique cast into it, and spirit light surged on the jade scroll, revealing a terrain map.

Upon closer inspection.

The geographical features seemed somewhat similar to the Eastern Wilderness.

In the depths of the Eastern Wilderness, on a mountain named East Emperor Mountain, there was a conspicuous red marker: ”Could there be a hidden treasure in East Emperor Mountain?”

So many years have passed.

The landscape of the Eastern Wilderness should have changed.

Even if it hasn’t.

This place is deep within the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, a place he cannot tread.

He stored the jade scroll in his storage bag, thinking that perhaps only when the Court decides to reclaim the Eastern Wilderness, will there be an opportunity to enter East Emperor Mountain.

Fu Changsheng checked again thoroughly.

Finding nothing else.

He immediately left the secret chamber.

Then, with a pinching motion, mana surged, accompanied by a loud rumble, the materials constructing the five stone chambers crumbled down, and were collected one by one into the storage bag.

This stone material is extremely special.

It can even block divine sense comparable to Foundation Establishment Peak, making it most suitable for constructing his secluded meditation chamber.

Upon hearing the noise.

Fu Yongyi, who was surveying the Spirit Stone Vein from afar, also came over. Seeing the collapsed stone chambers, he was taken aback:

”Patriarch, a cave mansion was hidden here?”

”Mm”

Fu Changsheng nodded but after some thought, still reminded:

”The existence of this cave mansion must not be divulged to outsiders.”

”Yes, Patriarch”

Fu Changsheng immediately used mana to completely destroy the cave mansion, leaving no trace behind to put his mind at ease.

More than half a month passed.

Grandmaster Yu had already set up an array in Liangyun Mountain.

On the other side.

Fu Yongyi had completed the thorough survey of the entire Spirit Stone Vein, and joyfully said:

”Patriarch, if this Spirit Stone Vein is fully mined, removing material and labor costs, it should yield a profit of six to seven hundred thousand spirit stones.”

This was indeed a considerable reserve of spirit stones.

Fu Changsheng was quite pleased.

With these spirit stones, there would be startup capital for building the city.

Ouyang Fei had also hurried over from the fief, and after a few exchanges, Fu Changsheng, along with Grandmaster Yu and Yaoyao, rode the Cyan Python back to the fief.

On the way back.

Fu Changsheng shared his idea of building a city with Grandmaster Yu.
