Chapter 42: Refining First Essence Heavy Water Into the Kidney
The floor cracked open, and three stone pillars slowly rose from the ground.
On each of the three stone pillars was a stone box.
The texture of each box was very simple and ancient. They were covered in a thick layer of dust.
The moment these three stone boxes appeared, Shen Tian’s expression suddenly changed.
He stared at one of the boxes, his body suddenly filled with a primal desire.
This desire surged violently, like a tsunami that no one could resist.
He wanted it!
“Ling’er.” Shen Tian took a deep breath. “Can you give me the box on the right?”
Shen Tian was not a pretentious person. He could feel his body’s natural instincts.
It was obvious that the item in the third box was very useful to him.
Little Spirit Fairy, Eunuch Gui, and Qin Gao didn’t seem to share the same feelings.
Little Spirit Fairy nodded and said, “I’ve already obtained the most precious inheritance. These three stone boxes can be given to you!”
Eh, when did this girl become so generous?
Shen Tian faltered slightly before turning to look at the halo above Little Spirit Fairy’s head.
After Little Spirit finished speaking, the halo above her head didn’t change colors.
So taking these three boxes won’t affect my blessings?
Hehe, if that’s the case, then I won’t stand on ceremony!
He smiled. “Deal!”
Little Spirit Fairy was stunned.
Speaking of which, why did Brother Shen agree so readily this time?
Didn’t Brother Shen reject the pool of white lotus flowers back then?
Can it be that Brother Shen is angry because Master doesn’t allow me to impart him the Imperial Sutra?
Thinking of this, Little Spirit Fairy was in a difficult position.
Why don’t I break Master’s rules and secretly impart him the Imperial Sutra?
Shen Tian didn’t know what Little Spirit Fairy was thinking.
He removed the three boxes and opened the first box.
The box contained an exquisite storage ring.
This ring was silver in color and embedded with sapphires. It was as clear as the sea.
In the inner ring, two large words were engraved in the ancient language: Archeon Sea.
So this ring is called the Archeon Sea Ring?
…
Shen Tian was deep in thought. He cut his index finger and dripped a drop of blood on it.
The Archeon Sea Ring slowly absorbed the drop of blood. Then, Shen Tian felt a peculiar sensation between him and the ring.
He could sense the space within the ring.
This was a huge interspatial ring that had 10,000 Storage Space within it.
It was 100 times bigger than the Universe Ring that Shopkeeper Song from the Sky Spirit Pavilion had given him.
Inside the Archeon Sea Ring were many Spirit Stones and a large chest.
There were an estimated million Spirit Stones inside. Shen Tian’s heart leaped with joy when he saw that.
Compared to Qin Gao’s previous opportunities, he found it more comfortable to piggyback on Little Spirit Fairy’s opportunities.
This turn of events had made him rich!
…
Continue!
Shen Tian slowly opened the second stone box. The smile on his face gradually froze.
The item in the second stone box was not worse than the first stone box. Perhaps it was more valuable.
However, Shen Tian couldn’t bring himself to be happy at all.
The second stone box contained a light blue battle armor and a long whip.
Yes, a female outfit.
Although it was definitely not an ordinary item for Spirit Venerable Divine Water to specially store it in the stone box, this was useless. Shen Tian couldn’t possibly wear a female outfit in the future, right?
Shen Tian took out his battle armor and whip and looked at Little Spirit Fairy.
“Ling’er, do you like this battle armor and whip?”
Little Spirit Fairy was slightly taken aback. “I… I haven’t worn armor before…”
“You haven’t worn before because you don’t like it?” Shen Tian sighed. “Then we can only keep it for now. We’ll find a chance to sell it in the future.”
…
Sell, sell?
Little Spirit Fairy’s lips twitched.
I was trying to say that I haven’t worn any armor before. Brother Shen, can you help me put it on?
I did not say that I didn’t like it!
Can you finish listening to what I have to say?
How exasperating!
The prayer beads in Shen Tian’s arms slowly trembled, and Jiu’er’s voice sounded once again.
“Master, Miss Ling’er’s body, is releasing resentment again.”
She’s releasing resentment again. Who made her unhappy?
Shen Tian thought for a moment, but he couldn’t figure out why.
Sigh, it’s really hard to guess why girls get angry.
They release resentment every day!
What if they go crazy one day?
I have to find an opportunity to talk to this girl.
As cultivators, we have to be relaxed and calm!
…
Shen Tian had no choice but to put the battle armor and whip into the Archeon Sea Ring before opening the third box.
This box was also the source of Shen Tian’s strong desire.
Shen Tian could feel that his body yearned for the item in the box.
As the third box was opened, the entire chamber was enveloped by a tremendous presence.
Shen Tian’s body trembled, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
The third box contained a pool of silver liquid.
What was even more amazing was when the liquid in the box appeared,
Shen Tian’s Tinder Body-Tempering Art began to circulate automatically.
The desire that arose from the bottom of his heart grew stronger.
Shen Tian slowly extended his right hand toward the silver liquid.
The moment his right hand came into contact with the liquid, it surged into his body.
It was extremely fast. It was drawn by the Tinder Body-Tempering Art and started to circulate through Shen Tian’s body.
Pain!
An unprecedented pain!
If Shen Tian’s absorption of Spirit Qi and the tempering of his body with a medicinal bath felt like he was being struck by a wooden hammer, then the liquid flowing all over Shen Tian’s body felt as though he was being struck by a Clear Sky Hammer.
Other than the miserable scream he let out at the beginning, Shen Tian spent the rest of the time unconscious.
…
After some time, Shen Tian slowly opened his eyes, and three concerned faces entered his sight.
“Your Highness, you’re finally awake.”
“Brother Shen, you’ve been unconscious for three days and three nights.”
“Thanks to Concubine Lan’s blessings. Your Highness, you gave me a fright!”
Shen Tian rubbed his head and said helplessly, “Why did I faint?”
Eunuch Gui was caught between laughter and tears. “How can you not faint? The third box was filled with First Essence Heavy Water.”
First Essence Heavy Water?
Shen Tian was shocked.
First Essence Heavy Water, ranked 12th on the Absolute Water List?
There were many rankings regarding the treasures in the cultivation world.
Shen Tian had found the Seven-Treasure Fairy Calabash, ranked 36th on the Spiritual Wood List.
He didn’t expect that it would be even more miraculous this time. He actually managed to find the 12th on the Absolute Water List—First Essence Heavy Water.
This was a precious treasure even more valuable than the Seven-Treasure Fairy Calabash!
No one could fault such blessings from providence!
Little Spirit Fairy was also amazed. “Amazing. He actually managed to refine the First Essence Heavy Water.”
In Spirit Venerable Divine Water’s legacy, she had specially mentioned it.
The First Essence Heavy Water was the greatest reliance that Spirit Venerable Divine Water had when she reigned supreme in the cultivation world. It was extremely powerful.
Even though it had already been refined at a basic level, decreasing the difficulty of refining it into someone by eighty to ninety percent, it was definitely not something cultivators below the Golden Core stage could easily wield.
She did not expect that Shen Tian, who was only at the Body Refinement stage, could actually forcibly refine the First Essence Heavy Water.
It was simply inconceivable.
Furthermore, according to everyone’s observation over the past few days, Shen Tian seemed to have sucked the First Essence Heavy Water into his kidney.
The kidneys governed waters; they received the five viscera and six bowels’ essence and stored it.
To cultivators, this was definitely a vital organ.
The First Essence Heavy Water had somehow gone into Shen Tian’s kidney.
It was unknown if it was a blessing or a curse!
