"The Taiyi Sect truly has a massive business, actually possessing such things as Hundred-Treasure Pouches. With this, going outside to collect medicinal herbs will no longer carry the agony of carrying them around. It saves so many troubles." Opening a "Hundred-Treasure Pouch," Fang Han exclaimed with a sigh while his heart filled with anticipation again. Those three "Hundred-Treasure Pouches" were not easy to open; numerous subtle streams of magic power entangled them, making them extremely exquisite. If cracked open with brute force, Fang Han could be certain this Hundred-Treasure Pouch would instantly be ruined, and the items inside would be crushed into powder at the moment the space shattered.
The force of spatial shattering was unimaginably massive; aside from Dao artifacts that could endure it, even top-grade treasure artifacts like the Five Hells King Cauldron would be destroyed.
This point Fang Han clearly learned from "All Worlds." Although his current cultivation was incredibly far from being able to interface with the shifting of space.
Space and time, such capriciously shifting rules of heaven and earth, could not be accessed by the Divine Ability Realm at all; only experts of the Longevity Realm could comprehend their mysteries.
However, Fang Han did not use brute force to destroy the Hundred-Treasure Pouches, because he possessed the Forgetfulness Water specifically designed to erode various magic powers and wash away spiritual imprints. With a stir of his true qi, he drew up some Forgetfulness Water and poured it onto the Hundred-Treasure Pouches. Immediately, sizzling sounds rang out, and all three pouches were opened.
Fang Han hurriedly swept his spirit into them one by one.
"Hmm? This space isn't quite large." The first Hundred-Treasure Pouch his spirit probed into was taken from Yao Dian's body. Among the three great true disciples, Yao Dian had the strongest magic power and the highest realm. His magic treasures would surely be more numerous than the others. Therefore, Fang Han initiated scraping his Hundred-Treasure Pouch first.
As his spirit explored inside, the space within the Hundred-Treasure Pouch was truly not large. It was even smaller than the Five Hells King Cauldron, practically equivalent to a tiny stable. It looked capable of accommodating about five or six horses at most; forcing a Black Water King Snake inside would probably be somewhat strained.
However, such a space was entirely sufficient for storing important items.
The first objects to catch the eye were two large gourds, about the height of a person. One had yellow skin, one had green skin, yet they were not cast of copper or iron, surprisingly being made of wood, seemingly grown upon a gourd vine. Although there were no such gigantic gourds in the secular world, Fang Han wasn't surprised in the slightest. Within the immortal dao, nothing was too bizarre to exist.
Without needing a second look, these were definitely used to store pills.
"I wonder what pills Taiyi Sect disciples eat?" Fang Han thought while releasing his true qi to grab toward that yellow-skinned gourd.
This grab instantly revealed that inside this yellow-skinned gourd was actually water, and absolutely not pills. A drop of water was extracted by him, displaying six different colors, circulating ceaselessly. A piercingly cold, masculine and firm qi transmitted outwards from the water. As Fang Han's Wood Sovereign True Qi made slight contact with this drop of water, that masculine and firm qi fused into it. Instantly, he felt his own magic power undergo changes; his true qi became even more limber and ethereal, manipulated at will, actually taking a few steps closer toward successfully cultivating Daoist gang qi.
"What holy water is this? To actually possess the efficacy of condensing true qi and enhancing magic power?" Fang Han immediately knew that this water was no mundane water.
"This is Six Yang Holy Water."
Yan's spirit also entered this Hundred-Treasure Pouch. Upon seeing this yellow-skinned gourd of holy water, he immediately informed Fang Han, his tone revealing a slight flavor of regret.
"Six Yang Holy Water? Is it Pure Yang Water? If you consume it, will it be able to increase your magic power slightly? And restore some of your strength from back then?" Fang Han's mind stirred.
Yan shook his head, sighing: "Pity, what a pity. This holy water is Six Yang, not Nine Yang. Between heaven and earth, there are nine types of spiritual qi leaking out from the space-time dimension of the Immortal Realm. If one cultivates to the Longevity Realm, they will be able to harvest these nine types of spiritual qi and turn them into pure water, which is the Nine Yang Holy Water. Anyone who has cultivated to the Longevity Realm essentially does not consume worldly food; instead, they use their own magic power to extract the leaking spiritual qi from the Immortal Realm within the void to nourish their own bodies, thus having extensive divine abilities and boundless magic power. Regarding any magic treasure, if Nine Yang Holy Water is refined into it, it will turn into Pure Yang, ensuring the utmost purity and generating enormous power. Originally, I was fundamentally equivalent to a Longevity Realm expert, so no matter what I eat, it will never increase my magic power. I absolutely must consume Pure Yang magic treasures, which precisely means absorbing the Nine Yang Holy Water within them."
"Longevity Realm experts have to extract the leaking spiritual qi from the Immortal Realm to increase magic power? To elevate their realm?" Fang Han inquired, gaining a slightly broader understanding of the Longevity Realm.
"Indeed. For the Longevity Realm, the most crucial state is comprehending the Gate to the Immortal Realm. When divine abilities are cultivated to the tenth realm, at the final critical juncture of defying heaven and changing fate, if one comprehends the Gate to the Immortal Realm, they will step into the Longevity Realm. Upon cultivating the Longevity Realm to the tenth realm, one will become an immortal, ascend, and enter the mysterious space-time dimension of the Immortal Realm. Once one steps into the Longevity Realm, ordinary pills offer them absolutely zero help. Just like how for a Divine Ability Realm expert, mundane rice and meat contain too many impurities; what use is there in eating them?"
"Then this Six Yang Holy Water is useless to you?" Fang Han felt it was a bit of a pity. The stronger Yan's strength became, the safer it would be for him. Every time this artifact spirit elevated a realm in magic power, he would become extremely more formidable. Also being at the True Qi Realm, Yan could defeat Fang Han effortlessly; after all, the experience was right there.
Furthermore, as Yan's strength increased, the various wonders of the Yellow Spring Diagram would truly be unlocked. Becoming a genuine Dao artifact. Unlike now, merely serving as an item-storing tool with barely any use against enemies, even falling short of the "Five Hells King Cauldron."
"It's useless to me, but extremely useful to you. It can assist you in condensing true qi, elevating your physical constitution, and can also enlighten and melt some treasures. Right! For the fragment of the World Tree sawdust you obtained, soak it slightly in this Six Yang Holy Water and see if any clues can be spawned from it? Also, if that Six Yang Holy Water is condensed by Long Xuan, her Myriad Water True Qi will definitely be able to advance one step further. I see that this female has True Dragon bloodline in her; she seems to be a Human Dragon."
"A Human Dragon?" Fang Han asked.
"Immemorial Dragon Clan members are entirely all experts in the Longevity Realm. The descendants passed down after they intermingle with humans are Human Dragons. In the secular world, the emperors of some nations are Human Dragons; this is precisely the reason why emperors are also called True Dragon Sons of Heaven." Yan ignored the Six Yang Holy Water and instead opened the other green-skinned gourd.
Inside this green-skinned gourd lay the actual pills. Each pill was the size of a longan, displaying an azure color, semi-transparent. In the very center of the pill, the phantom form of an infant seemingly sat.
"Good pills! These are the genuine pills. The Taiyi Sect's Origin Infant Pills! Only this kind of pill constitutes a true top-grade item. They are far, far better than Essence Pills, Inedia Pills, or Life-sustaining Golden Pills. The Ten Sects of the Immortal Dao, the Seven Branches of the Demonic Path, and the Five Lineages of the Demon Way—each and every sect has pills for cultivating life, but the Taiyi Sect's Origin Infant Pill stands second to none. This entire gourd has fully a thousand Origin Infant Pills. From now on, simply consume this pill; it will tremendously benefit your cultivation. The remaining pills can be granted to disciples to win over their hearts. They can also be used to feed the Asuras."
Yan was full of praise for the "Origin Infant Pill." It was evident that both the Blood Pill and the Biluo Great Pill—the two life-cultivating pills of the Yellow Spring Sect—could not compare with the Origin Infant Pill.
"The Constellation Method-Gathering Pill of the Qunxing Sect is also incredibly wondrous. It is in no way inferior to this Origin Infant Pill," Fang Han said.
"The Constellation Method-Gathering Pill is not a life-cultivating pill, but a Dharma Pill. This kind of pill is incredibly difficult to refine. It seems I absolutely must teach you some knowledge about pill refining. Pills are generally divided into five tiers: Human, Spirit, Earth, Heaven, and Immortal! Every tier of pill is further categorized into four grades: Low Grade, Middle Grade, High Grade, and Supreme Grade! Generally consumed pills are all Human-tier pills, for instance, Essence Pills, Life-sustaining Pills, Inedia Pills… However, this Origin Infant Pill precisely stands as the Supreme Grade among Human-tier pills. Meanwhile, the Inedia Pill is Low Grade. Those frequently taken to nourish the body are precisely called Human Pills. Correspondingly, the Constellation Method-Gathering Pill equates to a Spirit Pill. This climbs a realm higher than Human Pills. It is exceptionally difficult to refine. As for the Sixty-Year Divine Pill granted by Hua Tiandu last time, an item capable of adding sixty years to human lifespan, it is an Earth-tier pill. The quality is exceedingly high."
Listening to this, Fang Han's mind gradually cleared up: "Then what kind of pills are the Yin-Yang Myriad Life Pill and the Nine Orifices Golden Pill?"
"Those are Heaven-tier pills. Breaking through realms, increasing lifespan, tempering the physical body, enhancing magic power. Everything is comprehensive. Heaven-tier pills are extremely noble. Often, refining a single pill requires a hundred years. Thus, only Longevity Realm experts can afford to squander time on them."
"Among pills, there is actually this much profound learning? Categorized this minutely? No wonder our Yuhua Sect only has two life-cultivating pills, the Inedia Pill and the Essence Pill. Looking closely, the efficacy of the Inedia Pill is slightly weaker than that of the Essence Pill. It seems the Essence Pill is a Middle Grade Human-tier pill," Fang Han said. "All Worlds actually failed to describe this so meticulously, merely listing out various pill formulas, the properties of the medicinal materials, the fire timing for refining. Various techniques."
"Wait until you reach the Heaven-Man Realm, when you are truly able to refine spiritual artifacts and various pills, the elders of the Yuhua Sect will definitely impart these specific tier categorization methods onto you."
"What pill is the Mad Demon Lifespan-Reducing Pill? If I could get my hands on one, it would be useful when risking my life." Fang Han suddenly recalled the pill Yao Dian's trio took that caused their magic power to skyrocket.
"That is an Earth-tier Supreme Grade Spirit Pill; how could it be possible to find a second one? The Taiyi Sect disciple carrying this single piece on his body meant it solely for risking his life," Yan shook his head. Looking around in all directions, he found absolutely no second Spirit Pill, though he did spot a treasure. It was a white lion, about the size of a fist, carved out from who knows what, vividly lifelike.
On the body of this white lion lay numerous talismans and incantations. Supported by line upon line of oral formulas, it was shockingly the cultivation method for the divine ability known as the Heavenly Lion Great Method.
"Another divine ability obtained!" Although Fang Han could not study it right now, upon reaching the Heaven-Man Realm, one would be fully capable of cultivating various divine abilities. Moreover, he discovered that this white heavenly lion contained vigorous magic power, yet within it, there were absolutely no array formations whatsoever. Clearly, it wasn't even a spiritual artifact.
Within Yao Dian's Hundred-Treasure Pouch, there was precisely one yellow-skinned gourd of Six Yang Holy Water, one green-skinned gourd of Origin Infant Pills, and the cultivation method of the Heavenly Lion Great Method. Apart from this, the Hundred-Treasure Pouch was utterly empty, pitifully poor.
"It seems this person's magic treasures were entirely destroyed by the Great Disintegration Art. Pity, what a pity! Had I known there lay such a tiny bit of harvest, I absolutely wouldn't have gone out to commit murder and plunder." Fang Han checked the other two Hundred-Treasure Pouches again. The collections inside were even scarcer than Yao Dian's; containing only one gourd of Origin Infant Pills and an identical white heavenly lion carving, without even Six Yang Holy Water.
Six Yang Holy Water and Origin Infant Pills were excellent items. But this paltry harvest was absolutely not worth the cost of killing Taiyi Sect disciples.
"You obtained the three heavenly lions refined from the natal essence origin of these three individuals, the crystallization of their entire being's heartblood, and you still feel it isn't enough? These three heavenly lions, each possesses the gang qi of two thousand fiery horses. Although you cannot fuse them and turn them into your own magic power, you can absolutely refine them into external avatars. The power of these three heavenly lions is completely not inferior to any single treasure artifact," Yan said.
"Natal Magic Treasure?"
Fang Han was stunned, examining the three heavenly lions anew.
