Chapter 745: Bountiful Harvest! Huaying Pill! Calamity!

Treasures?

Through the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror Lu Changsheng could clearly see several treasures within the Kunpeng egg.

However his attention had been fully on his son Lu Quanzhen and he hadn’t looked closely.

Only now hearing his son’s words did he take a closer look.

A treasure fan flowing with five-colored light, a small cauldron entwined with golden dragon energy, a pearl radiating auspicious light, and meteoric iron flashing with blood-colored patterns. As a top-tier third-rank weaponsmith, Lu Changsheng saw at a glance these were all excellent quality.

At the very least they were fourth-rank spirit treasures or fourth-rank natural treasures! “No wonder so many are willing to risk entering the Kunpeng’s secret realm. These treasures alone could arm a Nascent Soul cultivator to the teeth.”

Lu Changsheng’s expression was joyful as he softly sighed.

Not only had he found his son Lu Quanzhen and obtained the Kunpeng egg, he had also gained so many treasures. It was truly a bountiful harvest.

Yin-Yang magical energy swirled in his palm as he tried to extract the treasures from the egg without damaging it.

But this Kunpeng egg was special.

The shell not only blocked heavenly secrets and obscured vision but it also prevented magical energy from penetrating.

Even though Lu Changsheng could clearly see the situation inside the egg with the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror, it was still difficult to extract the items without damaging the egg.

“Father.”

Seeing this Lu Quanzhen said he had formed a strange symbiotic relationship with the Kunpeng hatchling, allowing him to vie for control of the egg and open a small gap.

“Oh?”

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, unsure if his son’s condition was good or bad.

Still, he followed Lu Quanzhen’s suggestion, using Ah Wu to suppress the Kunpeng hatchling while Lu Quanzhen seized control, forming a black hole vortex on the egg’s surface to extract the treasures.

“Whoosh!”

A palm-sized treasure fan flowing with five-colored light fell into Lu Changsheng’s hand.

He examined the fan.

It should be a low-grade spirit treasure.

The only pity was that it had likely lost its spirit after so long, requiring him to nurture its spirituality anew.

Lu Changsheng examined it for a few moments then extracted a small cauldron entwined with golden dragon energy from the Kunpeng egg.

A mid-grade spirit treasure, like the five-colored light fan, it had lost its spirit after so long.

After examining it briefly he saw it was an excellent spirit treasure that could be used for both offense and defense.

“While spirit treasures are rare, they’re not very useful to me now.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head gently.

For offense he had the Da Luo Sword Embryo, for defense he had the multi-functional Yin-Yang Chart and for escape he had the Misty Dust Banner.

For a sure kill he had the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger and for burst damage he had the Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror.

In this situation, ordinary attacks and defenses were of little use to him.

And ultimately, he was only a Core Formation cultivator.

Even with a Nascent Soul-level divine sense, the number of spirit treasures he could control was limited. More wasn’t necessarily better.

Unless he had several multi-functional spirit treasures with their own spirits to fully arm him, it wouldn’t make much difference.

However the spirit treasures and natural spiritual materials in the Kunpeng egg were undoubtedly a huge gain.

Enough to raise the Lu Family’s overall strength and foundation to another level.

“Forget it, I’ll look at the rest later.”

Lu Changsheng said, realizing these spirit treasures and rare materials weren’t of much help to him now.

There was no need to waste time and energy extracting them all from the Kunpeng egg.

“Wait, Father, look at these two.”

Lu Quanzhen brought out the white jade bone talisman and the Ten-Thousand-Year Stalactite Milk he had snatched from the altar.

He had researched them himself. The bone talisman was some kind of fourth-rank talisman treasure.

As for the Ten-Thousand-Year Stalactite Milk, he wasn’t sure, but he knew it was some kind of rare pill.

“Oh?”

Lu Changsheng took the white jade bone talisman flowing with five-colored light and examined it, seeing it contained extremely terrifying divine power.

He injected a bit of magical energy and the inch-long bone talisman instantly burst with divine light, like a rising sun, emitting rolling energy full of vitality.

“This is an excellent healing talisman treasure!”

Although Lu Changsheng possessed the Chaos Body, fourth-rank body refinement, and the Nirvana divine ability, one could never have too many life-saving treasures.

If fully activated, this bone talisman’s effect might not be weaker than his Nirvana, allowing him to quickly recover from severe injuries and exhaustion.

“Quanzhen, did you also get this in the Kunpeng Nest?”

Lu Changsheng asked.

“Yes, there were many treasures on the altar in the Kunpeng Nest. Since I was in danger and being watched by Shi Hai True Lord and Wu Gu Old Demon, I knew spirit treasures wouldn’t help me escape. So I chose to snatch this bone talisman and the pill, hoping to gain a chance at survival.”

Lu Quanzhen explained.

He added with some regret, “There were also several rare spirit fruits and natural medicines on the altar, but they were all refined by the Kunpeng hatchling.”

He remembered someone snatching a bright red Crimson Fruit, but it was immediately refined by the Kunpeng hatchling.

“This harvest is already enough.”

Lu Changsheng smiled, not too greedy.

As he spoke, he opened the Ten-Thousand-Year Stalactite Milk in his hand.

He had heard of Ten-Thousand-Year Stalactite Milk before.

Used to store pills, even after a thousand or even ten thousand years, the medicinal power wouldn’t be lost.

This was his first time seeing such a top-grade vial, knowing the pill inside was at least fourth-rank! Lu Changsheng circulated Yin-Yang magical energy in his palm, carefully opening the Ten-Thousand-Year Stalactite Milk’s restriction.

Then, the stopper that looked like tree roots slowly opened, and a green light burst out.

Inside the vial lay a translucent white pill the size of a longan, with a faint image of a seated infant inside.

“This is… a Huaying Pill!”

Lu Changsheng’s heart skipped a beat as he exclaimed.

Although he had never seen a Huaying Pill, he knew about them.

He knew this was the Huaying Pill he had been inquiring about and searching for.

The Huaying Pill that could help Core Formation cultivators more easily break their core and form their Nascent Soul, becoming a True Lord!

“And it’s a top-quality Huaying Pill.”

Lu Changsheng saw two clear pill markings on the pill, knowing it was a top-quality pill.

Its efficacy was about half a grade higher than ordinary Huaying Pills! “Did I just get a Huaying Pill like this?”

Even the Lu Ancestor, who had seen his fair share of storms, felt a bit dazed.

After all, this Huaying Pill had come too easily.

It felt like searching far and wide only to find it right under his nose.

“Huaying Pill!?”

Hearing his father’s exclamation, Lu Quanzhen was also surprised and a little stunned.

He hadn’t expected the Ten-Thousand-Year Stalactite Milk he had casually grabbed from the Kunpeng altar to contain a Huaying Pill that countless Core Formation cultivators coveted.

“Father hasn’t broken through to Nascent Soul yet?”

Although Lu Quanzhen had seen his father in action in the Yin Ghost Sect and heard about Yangming Zhenren resisting the Heaven Corpse Sect Master.

He didn’t know if his father had broken through to Nascent Soul in the past twenty-plus years.

But seeing his father so happy and somewhat flustered, he guessed his father hadn’t broken through and needed a Huaying Pill.

“Congratulations, Father, on obtaining the Huaying Pill!”

Lu Quanzhen immediately congratulated him, not coveting the pill at all.

Although he had broken through to the third level of Core Formation, he was still at least a hundred years away from Nascent Soul, so he wasn’t in a hurry.

And he knew once his father reached Nascent Soul, getting a Huaying Pill for him wouldn’t be a problem.

“Haha, I also have your luck to thank for this.”

The Huaying Pill that had been troubling Lu Changsheng had been so easily obtained, putting him in a great mood.

“Don’t worry, once I break through to Nascent Soul, I’ll find a way to get you a Huaying Pill.”

Although it was only natural for him to take this pill.

When he was forming his core, his son Lu Quanzhen had given him a Five Elements Spirit Fruit.

Now that he was preparing for Nascent Soul, his son had given him a Huaying Pill. Naturally, he wouldn’t mistreat his son.

Besides, the Lu Family’s policy was to let the early achievers help the latecomers, then achieve common prosperity for the whole family! “Thank you, Father!”

Lu Quanzhen had no doubt about this. Then, as if thinking of something, he said seriously, “Father, Shi Hai True Lord tempted me with a Huaying Pill earlier, and Wu Gu Old Demon said he had a soon-to-mature Heavenly Infant Fruit on his island!”

Unlike Lu Ping’an and the others, he always held grudges!

Although he had been saved by his father, his current state was all thanks to Wu Gu Old Demon and Shi Hai True Lord.

It was impossible for him not to want revenge.

Besides, they had a Huaying Pill and a Heavenly Infant Fruit, which he couldn’t let go! “A Huaying Pill and a Heavenly Infant Fruit?”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes deepened, knowing the Heavenly Infant Fruit was the main ingredient for the Huaying Pill.

He had already gathered a small portion of the ingredients for the Huaying Pill.

If he could get the Heavenly Infant Fruit, gather the rest of the ingredients, and improve his alchemy, refining a batch of Huaying Pills wouldn’t be difficult.

Suddenly, Lu Changsheng felt the future was wide open!

“Once things are settled, I’ll naturally go find them.”

Lu Changsheng never considered himself a righteous gentleman.

Normally, he wouldn’t rob others of their Huaying Pill or Heavenly Infant Fruit, he would try to trade for them.

But since they had almost killed his son, he naturally wouldn’t be polite or let them off easily!

However, now that he had the Huaying Pill, the priority was to break through to Nascent Soul. Everything else could wait.

Besides, to kill a Nascent Soul True Lord, he needed to prepare many methods.

But once he broke through to Nascent Soul, not to mention the suppression of Nascent Soul’s foundation, just the improvement from the Da Luo Sword Embryo, Misty Dust Banner, Heavenly Yuan Lotus, and Sun-Moon Yin-Yang Mirror would allow Lu Changsheng’s combat power to leap to another level.

After all, his current strength couldn’t unleash the true power of these treasures.

“Now that I have the Huaying Pill, once Soul Devourer wakes up and advances to fourth-rank, I can go straight to the Forbidden Sea and find a fourth-rank spiritual vein to attempt the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul.”

Now that his son was found and he had the Huaying Pill, Lu Changsheng wanted to go straight back.

While Soul Devourer was sleeping and upgrading, he could finish cultivating the Nascent Soul secret technique, solve his son Lu Quanzhen’s problem, and then attempt to break through to Nascent Soul.

Otherwise, relying on the Divine Maiden Palace to break through, who knew how long it would take.

But as soon as this thought arose, his heart palpitated.

With his top-tier third-rank divination, he had a bad premonition!

“What’s going on?”

Lu Changsheng immediately became alert, throwing out three divination copper coins to calculate.

The divination had changed!

His previous divination was fluctuating between fortune and misfortune. As long as he was steady and not greedy, fortune would outweigh misfortune! But now, the divination was only misfortune! It wasn’t just minor misfortune, but moderate misfortune, even with a tendency to become major misfortune! Moderate misfortune usually meant a fifty-fifty chance of life or death.

Major misfortune was nine chances of death and one of life! But this misfortune wasn’t just for him, but also for those around him.

Lu Changsheng frowned, continuing to deepen his divination to find the source of this misfortune.

After a long time.

His face was pale, knowing that as long as he left Black Reef Islands with the Kunpeng egg, he would encounter danger.

And after returning to Jiang Kingdom, this misfortune would turn into major misfortune, enveloping the whole family and those around him!

“The possible landing spots of the Kunpeng egg have long been marked and sealed by various Nascent Soul True Lords.”

“Once the Kunpeng egg disappears, it might be sensed by the Nascent Soul cultivators and diviners here, leaving traces that lead them to Immortal City of Damengze!”

“Starry Sea has no distinction between good and evil. All cultivators act according to their hearts. Once they find Immortal City of Damengze, they won’t be reasonable, bringing me great danger!”

The three divination copper coins in front of Lu Changsheng trembled, realizing where the misfortune came from.

He consumed his blood essence and lifespan, continuing to divine. In the depths of his eyes, a net of heavenly secrets and fate appeared, connecting different causes and effects, trying to find the best choice to resolve the misfortune! Try to teleport directly back via the Misty Dust Banner? As soon as the thought arose, the omen of misfortune turned into the most intense major misfortune.

“Although the Misty Dust Banner can teleport over long distances, there will still be traces in the eyes of Nascent Soul True Lords and Divination Grandmasters!”

Lu Changsheng instantly knew he shouldn’t use the Misty Dust Banner for now.

Even if he did, he absolutely couldn’t return to Immortal City of Damengze or Bihu Mountain! Or rather, he couldn’t return to Jiang Kingdom for the time being! But even so, Lu Changsheng found that not returning to Jiang Kingdom still had fluctuating fortune and misfortune, with minor or even moderate misfortune! “This is a chain reaction from the Kunpeng egg!”

Lu Changsheng realized that if he didn’t return to Jiang Kingdom, this fluctuating misfortune came from the chain reaction of the Kunpeng egg disappearing.

When the various forces of Starry Sea discovered the Kunpeng egg was gone, these Nascent Soul True Lords and fourth-rank demon kings would definitely fight and search, affecting him.

The best way for him to turn misfortune into fortune and minimize risk was his initial divination method! Be steady, not greedy, and don’t act rashly! Then, stick closely to the Divine Maiden Palace! Use the Divine Maiden Palace to avoid disaster! “As long as I safely return to the Divine Maiden Palace with the Second Palace Master Shen Baishuang and lay low, I can dispel the misfortune.”

After a long time, Lu Changsheng stopped divining, his face pale as paper. His refined and handsome face seemed to have aged.

This was the price of divination!

Although it could seek fortune and avoid calamity, it required blood essence and lifespan as a price.

He had just consumed too much lifespan divining, affecting him.

This was also why many diviners, even in their prime, were full of death energy and aged appearance.
