Ascension Through Generations

The embryo of sea pearls requires the use of shell beads, and the higher the grade, the better.

That three-thousand-year-old spirit bead was prepared for refining the Sea-Suppressing Pearl. It's just that he is not satisfied with this, and hopes to find higher quality spiritual beads in the future, preferably more than ten thousand years old.

Once the shell beads are more than 10,000 years old, they are called psychic orbs. Use them to refine magic weapons. The magic weapons must be at least high-grade, which will be of great help in breaking through the Nascent Soul Heaven Pass in the future.

Then again, it's not that Zhao Sheng has no hope of being promoted to the True Pill.

Any magical powers are also created and deduced by predecessors.

He will neither be arrogant nor belittle himself.

Since the predecessors could do it, he might not be able to do it.

Just thinking about it.

The short and fat shopkeeper of Qidan Pavilion happily ran into the living room, shouting as he ran: "It's done, it's done! Senior, the sect has just sent a letter back, saying that a special envoy will be sent here to meet with Seniors are meeting. Please wait patiently for a few days, seniors."

"Well, thank you, fellow Taoist." Zhao Sheng gently put down the tea bowl, smiled and cupped his hands slightly.

"Hey, this is what a young man should do. Seniors don't need to do this." Seeing this, the short and fat old man waved his hands in a hurry.

Zhao Sheng added: "I still need Yin Yang Bilu fruit, soul leech powder and fantasy butterfly eggs. I wonder if Qidan Pavilion has these three elixirs?"

The pudgy old man thought for a while and replied confidently: "The elixir mentioned by senior is very rare. There is only one kind of Yin Yang Bilu fruit in Qidan Pavilion for the time being. The other two need to be transported from elsewhere. If senior If you’re not in a hurry, can you wait a few days?”

"Don't be impatient. Just adjust your luck. But you have to make sure the quality of the elixir is good enough."

"Senior, don't worry! I don't dare to smash the Qidan Pavilion's sign."

…

After leaving Qidan Pavilion, Zhao Sheng walked around the city, entering and leaving some shops one after another. After buying what he needed, he returned to the Qionggui Treasure Ship.

While everyone in the Zhao family was busy buying various supplies, Zhao Sheng, who had just returned to the treasure ship, immediately entered his own cabin on the second deck and could not get out.

As soon as he entered the cabin, Zhao Sheng shook his hands and threw out four enchantment talismans. The four talismans flew out and stuck to the surrounding ship walls. Four layers of spiritual light suddenly rose up, covering the entire cabin in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Sheng walked deep into the cabin, sat cross-legged on the futon, pondered for a moment, and then took out an apricot storage bag from his arms with his right hand.

Shaking the storage bag, he saw an ordinary bamboo basket flying out from the mouth of the bag and landing in Zhao Sheng's hand.

The bamboo basket is green all over, but it is poorly woven and the gaps between the strips are visible.

However, this bamboo basket actually contained a pool of clear water. Slightly tilted, the blue water is rippling and flowing slowly through the bamboo gaps, but it seems to be blocked by an invisible barrier and cannot leak out at all.

In the slightly rippling blue water, a small fish with a colorful halo was swimming leisurely in the water, and from time to time it shed colorful lights.

Zhao Sheng's expression was calm, and he made seals with both hands. A stream of bright blue spiritual power shot out from his hands and hit the bamboo basket in front of him.

The bamboo basket was quickly enveloped in a rich blue brilliance, as if it were wrapped in a blue cloud. Wisps of blue light fluctuated in the clouds and mist, constantly directed at every strip on the surface of the bamboo basket, trying to refine them.

But with little success.

After an hour of continuous refining, a faint trace of blue light could be seen seeping into the surface of the bamboo basket.

Since he obtained this magical bamboo basket more than 20 years ago, Zhao Sheng has been trying to refine it.

Maybe it's because the attributes don't match, or maybe the key treasure refining technique is missing.

After so many years, the refining progress has never been satisfactory, and even the first treasure taboo has not been completely refined.

Of course, Zhao Sheng's efforts over the years have not been in vain. At least I have a deeper understanding of this magic weapon.

This bamboo basket magic weapon is a wooden magic weapon with spatial attributes. The main body is woven from the ancient diabolo bamboo that is almost extinct in the Tianzhu world.

Its grade is very high, and the number of treasures it can currently perceive is as high as six.

Perhaps there is a new treasure hidden deeper in the magic weapon, but Zhao Sheng cannot sense it with his current consciousness.

The level of a magic weapon depends not only on its own quality, but also on how many forbidden treasures it contains.

Generally speaking, a magic weapon can hold up to nine forbidden treasures, with three as the order, and above the six forbidden treasures are top-grade magic weapons. Treasures with four to six levels are forbidden to be middle-grade magic weapons, and those with three or less levels can only be regarded as the lowest-grade magic weapons.

Facing an important treasure that is likely to be a top-grade magic weapon or even an ancient treasure, one can imagine how much effort Zhao Sheng has put into refining it over the years.

Two hours later, nearly half of the spiritual energy in his dantian had been consumed, and a look of surprise appeared on Zhao Sheng's face.

His hands were about to emerge from the afterimage, and the bright blue spiritual power poured out like a waterfall onto the bamboo basket. The large spiritual cloud was so dense that it almost turned into liquid, filling the cabin with a dazzling blue light.

At the same time, the divine light in Zhao Sheng's eyes suddenly shot out from the Zi Mansion, and instantly flew to the surface of the bamboo basket. In a flash, it disappeared into the magic weapon. The golden light fell into a dark void, and in an instant flew into a vast and cold stream. It melts away without a trace in the precious light.

Zhao Sheng was extremely happy at this time. More than twenty years of hard work had paid off, and he had finally refined the first treasure ban.

The moment after refining, a large amount of information suddenly emerged in his mind, all about this bamboo basket magic weapon, including its name and the most basic manipulation techniques.

Only then did Zhao Sheng know that the real name of this magic weapon was the Sky-shooting Basket. It was a magic weapon with dual attributes of air and wood. It actually contained eight forbidden treasures, and its grade was close to the best magic weapon.

The level of the sky-catching basket is too high, and Zhao Sheng's strength is too low. The ability to refine the first treasure ban is already at its limit. It can only be controlled simply, and it cannot be used against enemies at all.

Even so, Zhao Sheng was quite satisfied. At least he knew that the sky-catching basket was an extremely precious and rare top-grade magic weapon.

Don't forget, the sky-catching basket and the unknown magic weapon in the ancient painting are most likely one.

The combination of the two magic weapons is at least no less than the best.

This alone gave him an extremely wonderful space for imagination.

Zhao Sheng resisted the urge to take out the ancient painting. The painting was extremely dangerous and was not something he could touch at this time.

Whoosh!

With a thought in his mind, he shot a control technique with his right hand.

The sky-capturing basket instantly rose from the ground and grew to about one foot in size. A layer of emerald green light gradually appeared on the surface of the bamboo basket, and a white beam of light burst out from the mouth of the basket.

In the beam of light, a drop of crystal water the size of a soybean was floating up and down. It was obviously very small, but it clearly revealed an indescribable vastness.

As soon as it appeared, patches of water vapor suddenly appeared in the cabin, and countless tiny water droplets quickly condensed on the bulkhead.

At this moment, in the water drop, the Five Luck Spirit Fish, which had shrunk countless times, was still wandering carefree in the water, as if it had not sensed the great changes in the outside world.

When Zhao Sheng saw this astonishing scene, he was extremely shocked and exclaimed: "Tianyi True Water! It turns out to be Tianyi True Water!"

The origin of this Tianyi True Water is extremely astonishing, and its reputation in the True Water of Heaven and Earth is no less than the status of the Golden Crow True Fire in the True Fire.

This water is not something from this world, but comes from the void of the star sea. Legend has it that it is the essence of water that finally survived after the destruction of a world. It is the highest-level true water of heaven and earth after the innate divine water.

Tianyi True Water contains a trace of the Great Law of Water. A drop of water can turn into a thousand-foot wave. It is very useful whether it is tempered into a treasure carrying the Tao or used to understand the Great Law of Water.

Zhao Sheng never expected that the sky-catching basket would contain such a treasure. He had thought it was Qingming Lingshui before, but he didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly.

At this time, the moisture in the cabin became thicker and thicker, and began to turn into raindrops, falling to the floor and splashing on Zhao Sheng's face.

Feeling the cool drops of water dripping onto his face, Zhao Shengxian saw that the phenomenon of water vapor around him became more and more obvious. He was immediately startled and quickly controlled the Sky Shooting Basket to put the Tianyi Zhen Water back into the bamboo basket.

Then, he waved his hand and released a blue light, dispersing all the water droplets and vapor in the cabin.

Bang bang bang!

As soon as I finished doing this, I heard a sudden knock on the cabin door.

Zhao Sheng was startled again. He instantly released his consciousness and saw his apprentice Zhao Dingda and white-robed Zhao Dali standing outside the cabin door.

He waved his hand, and the cabin door opened with a creak without any wind.

"Dingda, why do you want to be your teacher?" Zhao Sheng said expressionlessly.

Zhao Dingda observed the words and expressions, and when he heard this, he immediately thought to himself that it was not good.

His mustache curled up and his eyes rolled.

He said very obediently: "Master, it is Zhao Dali who has come to see you for something. Why don't you ask him why he is here?"

Next to him, Zhao Dali's face turned red when he heard this, and he secretly cursed Zhao Dingda for being despicable and shameless. Seeing that the situation was not good, he betrayed his teammates in a blink of an eye.

He saw Taoist Cen Hezi's eyes falling on him. Zhao Dali dared to hurriedly bow and salute, and said cautiously: "Reporting to Zhao Keqing, when I went to buy grain just now, I accidentally encountered a black shop. We originally agreed to buy a million tons of grain at three times the price, but when we arrived at the warehouse After loading the food, I discovered that 30% of the food was shoddy and 10% was rotten. I waited for a good word to argue with the store owner. Unexpectedly, the store owner was so arrogant and unreasonable that he even hired a foundation-building monk to take the food away if he disagreed. Among us, only one of us was allowed to come back, and we were asked to pay for his ransom. It’s really abominable!”

Zhao Sheng raised his eyebrows after hearing this. From what he meant, the Zhao family had encountered a shady businessman this time. They were obviously confident and relied on local snakes to bully outsiders.

As a guest of the Zhao family, he naturally would not sit idly by.

"Dingda will stay on board the ship. Dali, please take Pindao to have a look." Zhao Sheng flicked his long sleeves, stood up, and said in a solemn tone.

Zhao Dali looked happy and nodded in agreement.

What happens next is very simple.

Zhao Sheng, a late-stage foundation builder, showed up. He didn't even need to say a word, he just showed his momentum and immediately made the other party surrender and apologize.

The intimidating power of a late-stage foundation-building monk is so powerful. Facts have proved that as soon as Zhao Sheng stopped there, the invited middle-stage foundation builder didn't even have the courage to take action, so he immediately surrendered. The store owner's attitude suddenly changed. Not only did he take the initiative to reduce the price of food by 30%, he also took the initiative to remove the old food and replace it with local food. New grain every season.

…

Three days later, Xi Bixianfang.

A sword rainbow flew from the sky and quickly fell into the city.

After a while, Zhao Sheng disguised himself as a middle-aged man with a withered face, walking on the streets of Fangshi, looking around at the shops on both sides and the flow of people on the streets.

Compared with the prosperity of Dongbifang City, although West Bixian City is deep into the island mainland, it is even more lively.

As soon as you walk onto the street, you can hear the hustle and bustle all around. The street is full of people. There are humans wearing various colors of thin shirts and brocades, there are also aliens who look different from ordinary people, and there are also many who look like cultivators. . They look proud and are often surrounded by others.

Most of these people come from the Broken Star Sea Islands. Due to the threat of the sea monster tide, the trading atmosphere in the market is extremely hot at this time. Countless people with different expressions are constantly entering and leaving the nearby shops, buying various products crazily. Plant supplies.

Among the markets that Zhao Sheng had seen before, only the market on Jiuzhen Island was comparable.

Zhao Sheng walked around for half an hour and squeezed through three streets before arriving at the central square of Fangshi.

The entire square is very open, covering several acres of land. In the middle stands a white jade statue about ten feet high. It looks like a dignified and beautiful female fairy. Her jade-white robes are flying, and the surface is shining with a faint halo. A very subtle but indifferent coercion emanated from the statue.

In the open space in the square around the statue, there are many casual cultivators setting up stalls here. The elixirs of various materials are densely packed on the ground, and different magical instruments and talismans are shining with various auras.

The square was crowded with people, coming and going in a steady stream, and there was an endless stream of shouts and shouts. It was quite like the fireworks of a big market in the secular world.

Next to several main streets around the square, there are several magnificent buildings with a height of five or six feet. Their surfaces are sparkling and splendid. These are the largest shops in Fang City. Opened by the family.

Zhao Sheng's eyes flickered a few times before he walked into the largest elixir shop in the adjacent square.

Half a quarter of an hour later, he walked into the shop again with a normal expression. He had just purchased a batch of auxiliary elixirs for refining the Foundation-Building Pills, and asked about the Metal-Building Pills indirectly.

Then, he walked a few steps, turned around and walked into another elixir shop.

It took about half a day to stop in Fangshi. Zhao Sheng visited several large elixir shops in the entire city. He also bought foundation-building elixirs and asked if there were any gold-forming elixirs.

Zhao Sheng did this on purpose to let the wind out.

In Xiuxianfang City, some secrets may remain secret forever, but some secrets will be known intentionally.

As a result, a person in the late stage of foundation building wanted to buy a golden elixir, and the news that this person was suspected to be a second-level alchemist quickly spread in the elixir business.

At this time, Zhao Sheng had already changed his makeup and went in and out of some famous shops to find out about Yiyuan Heavy Water and Beizhu.

As a result, he discovered that Biluo Island was worthy of being a large spiritual island in the outer star sea with the name Dragon Claw. There are indeed a lot of shell beads for sale, almost every shop sells them, and almost all of them have thousand-year-old shell beads. But he could only find one that was more than three thousand years old after searching all over the market, and there was no trace of one that was more than five thousand years old.

As for the whereabouts of one yuan of heavy water.

Judging from the results of the inquiry, due to the scarcity of one yuan of heavy water, most of it is in the hands of a few large families, and it often only appears once or twice at auctions in a few years.

Zhao Sheng was naturally not satisfied with the result, but seeing nightfall, he turned back to the Dome Turtle Treasure Ship, entered the cabin, set up a barrier, and began to meditate.
