Chapter 2316: Sun Essence Gold

Chapter 2316: Chapter 2316: Sun Essence Gold

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu felt a stir in his heart and inevitably swept his gaze over the seven treasures before him.

This Elder Xu was an elder of the Heaven Puppet Clan and also an expert from the Shadowless Clan.

Such a figure, the things he obtained after nine deaths and one life, really piqued his interest.

Of course, even though Zhou Yu had thoughts in his heart, he outwardly appeared as if he was compelled.

"Since Elder Xu has spoken, I’ll take a look first."

As he spoke, he extended his hand and picked up the first box.

After picking up the box, Zhou Yu did not open it immediately, but instead sensed it a little through the box.

Although the box was made of Cold Jade, Zhou Yu could feel a warm sensation emanating from within.

Zhou Yu slowly opened the box.

The next moment, a mass of scorching red light burst forth.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu was stunned and immediately utilized the Eye of Destruction.

Finally, he saw clearly what this red light was.

It turned out to be something resembling an egg.

"This is..."

Zhou Yu displayed a look of surprise, with a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

Elder Xu laughed:

"This is the egg of the Seven-Colored Phoenix Butterfly, ranked forty-fifth on the Strange Insect List."

"A hundred years ago, while traveling, I stumbled upon a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Medicine on a Fire Island. When I went to pick it, I was ambushed by a Seven-Colored Phoenix Butterfly and almost perished there."

"Fortunately, that Seven-Colored Phoenix Butterfly was already severely injured, allowing me to counterattack and kill it. In the end, I got this egg from its nest."

"For ordinary people, insects ranked high on the Strange Insect List may not be enticing, but for cultivators adept at raising strange insects, it is definitely a priceless treasure."

Elder Xu’s words were not exaggerated.

Zhou Yu himself understood the Insect Extermination Technique and knew the power of the Seven-Colored Phoenix Butterfly.

Simply based on the ranking on the Strange Insect List, the Seven-Colored Phoenix Butterfly surpassed his Fire-eyed Flying Ant greatly.

But precisely because of this, Zhou Yu clearly knew how much effort and resources it took to cultivate a spiritual insect to a high rank.

With the assistance of top-level treasure Four Directions Realm, to date, his Fire-eyed Flying Ant had only advanced to the Fourth Rank.

For others or forces to raise strange insects often required generations and hundreds or thousands of years of continuous investment and cultivation to maximize their combat power.

Therefore, while Zhou Yu was somewhat tempted by this thing, he felt powerless.

Zhou Yu laughed:

"I’ve heard of the Strange Insect List, but sadly, I do not understand the Art of Extermination."

After saying this, Zhou Yu covered the box and put it back in its place.

To this, Elder Xu was not surprised at all.

"It’s okay, Daoist Zhou can take a look at the other treasures."

Zhou Yu nodded, then began to examine them one by one.

Time passed little by little.

Zhou Yu picked up one, then put it down, picked up another, then put it down again...

Soon, he had seen six pieces.

Except for the first item, the Seven-Colored Phoenix Butterfly, the rest were all Spirit Pills and Spiritual Medicine.

These things were undoubtedly the most enticing for ordinary cultivators.

But precisely for Zhou Yu, he didn’t lack these things at all.

At this moment, beside him, Elder Xu’s expression had changed from initial confidence to anxiousness.

He never expected that none of these treasures could move Zhou Yu.

Amid his anxious mood, Zhou Yu also put the last box back.

Elder Xu couldn’t hold back anymore.

"Daoist Zhou, do none of these things have any use for you?"

Zhou Yu took a deep breath and laughed:

"Elder Xu’s collection, without exception, is all top-tier treasures."

"However, for someone like me..."

Although Zhou Yu didn’t finish his sentence, the meaning was clear.

"That item is indeed intended as a material for refining an important pill medicine."

"To be honest, Daoist Xu, this pill medicine is crucial for my smooth advancement to the Integration Realm."

"I imagine Daoist Xu should be able to understand my difficulties."

Zhou Yu’s words were already quite clear.

The rejection was already obvious.

After all, no one would affect their own advancement to the Integration Realm for someone else’s matters.

When he heard this, Elder Xu’s eyes were filled with struggle.

He gritted his teeth and said:

"Daoist Zhou, wait a moment."

"I have another item."

"Originally, this was meant for Elder Wan Sheng of the Heaven Puppet Clan to request a favor. But now, for my nephew’s matter, I can’t care about those anymore."

"This thing, even if Daoist Zhou doesn’t need it, will certainly move him."

Saying this, Elder Xu took out another Jade Box.

Seeing Elder Xu in this reluctant state, Zhou Yu didn’t react much.

These people are all old hands.

He knew very well that the things Elder Xu brought out earlier were essentially to test Zhou Yu’s vision.

If Zhou Yu had a low vision, he would surely be dazzled by those things and agree heartily.

But Zhou Yu wasn’t foolish.

At this moment, seeing Elder Xu take out another item, Zhou Yu didn’t hold much hope.

After all, it could very well be this old guy’s trick again.

However, he still pretended to be surprised on the surface.

Then, he accepted the Jade Box in Elder Xu’s hand and opened it.

Inside the Jade Box lay something resembling clay.

On the surface, it had a metallic luster but was soft.

Zhou Yu took one look, and in the next moment, a trace of incredulousness flashed in his eyes.

He first touched it with his hand, feeling as if touching a piece of tofu.

Then, Zhou Yu suddenly stretched out his hand, and a short sword appeared in his grasp.

Holding the short sword, Zhou Yu stabbed it into the object.

The next moment.

A burst of golden light erupted instantly.

In Zhou Yu’s hand, the short sword was directly melted away.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu’s pupils shrank suddenly.

The short sword he just used seemed unremarkable, but it was also a top ancient treasure.

Unexpectedly, it was destroyed so effortlessly.

To have such power and such a form, it seemed to be only that thing.

"Could it be... Is this..."

Zhou Yu said with some excitement:

"Sun Essence Gold???"

Elder Xu was a bit surprised; he didn’t expect Zhou Yu to recognize this thing so quickly.

He nodded and said:

"Yes, this is Sun Essence Gold."

"Since Daoist recognizes this, you should know, this is a top Fire Element material."

"Whether used in Alchemy or Artifact Refining, simply adding a bit of Sun Essence Gold can elevate the quality of a Spirit Pill or Magic Treasure by at least one level."

"Moreover, there’s a possibility of obtaining the legendary Sun God Fire."

"How about it? Can this item win Daoist’s favor?"
