Chapter 215: Chapter 115: Danger! I must prepare for the worst!_1
“`
“Extract!”
“`
Lu Changsheng’s mental spirit stirred slightly as he extracted the Profound Origin Bead from the System Space.
Instantly, a chicken egg-sized, sapphire blue, lustrous jade bead appeared.
At the same time, detailed information about this Profound Origin Bead entered Lu Changsheng’s mind.
“This Profound Origin Bead, simply put, is like a portable battery.”
“For Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment Cultivators, it can charge and extend endurance, also amplifying spiritual power and mana.”
“But in the hands of a Nascent Soul Immortal, its effects are rather average; it can only serve as a common amplifying treasure.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the Profound Origin Bead in his hand, muttering to himself.
He had a more clear and direct understanding of the effects of this Profound Origin Bead.
“However, this effect is already very powerful; it’s enough for me until I reach the Core Formation Stage!”
“Once I form my core, I can pass the Profound Origin Bead on to my children.”
“After all, unlike the Book of Malevolent Curses and Fates, it’s not a one-off and can be passed down through generations.”
A smile appeared on Lu Changsheng’s face.
In his view, this Profound Origin Bead was much better than the Book of Malevolent Curses and Fates.
Not only for individuals but also for the family and sect forces, it was an exceptional treasure.
Overall, most family forces may face times of scarcity.
And that’s when the value of the Profound Origin Bead becomes evident.
It can stabilize a family with a semblance of Foundation Establishment, with a semblance of a False Core.
“I am now at the Seventh Level of Energy Refinement, and I wonder how much this Profound Origin Bead can enhance my own abilities.”
Lu Changsheng did not ponder long, bit the tip of his tongue lightly, and sprayed a mouthful of blood onto the Profound Origin Bead.
In an instant, the treasure bead absorbed the blood, emitting a brilliant glow, transforming into a stream of light, and entered Lu Changsheng’s body, traveling along the meridians to hover above the Qi Ocean Core.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes to refine the Profound Origin Bead and make it perfectly compatible with himself.
…
A month later.
Third floor of the Spiritual Talisman Shop.
“It’s truly a product of the system, a Third Rank treasure!”
“The amount of spiritual energy this Profound Origin Bead can store is about eight or nine times what I currently have!”
Lu Changsheng looked inward at his Dantian, gazing at the sapphire bead that had now turned into a blend of seven colors, his face full of joy.
After refining the Profound Origin Bead, he could distinctly feel the spiritual energy inside his ‘second Dantian.’
Just like his own Qi Lake, the spiritual energy could circulate without any hindrances.
“With this Profound Origin Bead, I no longer have to worry about running out of spiritual energy.”
Lu Changsheng said joyfully.
Then, with a subtle motion of his mental spirit, his fingers came together, and a sword light began to form.
“Releasing spiritual power through spells, the force is roughly tripled due to spiritual pressure.”
“If I exert full force, this amplification could rise a few more times.”
Lu Changsheng gazed at the sword light in his hand, quietly sensing the changes in spiritual pressure.
“No wonder the Profound Origin Bead only allows those at the Energy Refinement Late Stage to compare with Foundation Establishment and those at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage to compare with the False Core.”
“With this second Dantian, the quantity of spiritual power I possess far exceeds that of Energy Refinement, almost comparing to Foundation Establishment.”
“However, in terms of quality, it still cannot compare with a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.”
“But my cultivation of the Seven Luminaries Great Freedom Sword Scripture, an Orthodox Level Cultivation Technique, means my foundation of spiritual power is already far superior to cultivators of the same level. By the time I peak in Energy Refinement, with the support of the Profound Origin Bead, I might not be weaker than a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he secretly thought.
However, he also just thought about it.
When he really reached the peak of Energy Refinement, he wouldn’t rely on a treasure to attempt to challenge a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.
Who engages in battling across ranks for no reason?
He wasn’t the protagonist Long Aotian.
And Lu Changsheng was very aware that he had a significant problem when it came to battling with spells.
He had too few spells at his disposal.
Aside from the Seven Luminaries Sword Light, Seven Luminaries Sword Shield, Seven Luminaries Sword Escape, he had only learned Flame Bullet Technique and Object Manipulating Technique, these common spells.
He had neither learned nor practiced slightly more advanced offensive spells; he could only rely on Talismans.
“This Profound Origin Bead not only helps in battle but also aids in other areas.”
“Now when I make Talismans, I don’t have to worry about the consumption of spiritual energy, just my Mental Spirit.”
Lu Changsheng said happily.
He usually had to meditate to recover his spiritual energy after exhausting it while drawing Talismans.
But now with the Profound Origin Bead, he didn’t have to worry about depleting his spiritual energy anymore.
Moreover, after depleting the spiritual energy inside the Profound Origin Bead, it could absorb nature’s spiritual energy from the surroundings to slowly recover.
“I wonder if it’s almost time for the Immortal Sects Conference?”
At this point, Lu Changsheng suddenly remembered that in a few months, it would be time for Qingyun Sect’s Immortal Sect assessment.
He had previously promised to send Xia Zhaoyang to Qingyun Sect for the Immortal Sect assessment.
“Forget it, considering the current season, going out might be risky.”
“It would be the same if I had Hong Yi or Feiyu take Xia Zhaoyang there.”
Lu Changsheng thought it over and decided not to make the trip.
Although with his current strength and means, as long as he didn’t encounter a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, it was unlikely anything would happen to him.
But it was better to have one less matter to worry about.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng wrote several letters and went to the marketplace post station to have them delivered to Ruyi County City.
…
Time passed by, day after day.
In the blink of an eye, another month went by.
During this time, the three maids from White Jade Tower whom Lu Changsheng had recently taken in were all pregnant.
Lu Changsheng didn’t pay much attention to the three maids; he just let nature take its course.
After all, such matters were neither urgent nor could they be hurried.
If he truly wanted to engage in frenzied procreation, he had the Five Aggregates Proliferation Method within the Yin Yang Harmony Technique, which could increase the probability of conception.
“Second Master, that Fairy Su has come back to place another talisman order.”
That day, as Lu Changsheng was on the third floor studying the history of cultivation, the voice of Shopkeeper Zhang Shan came from outside.
