Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Multi-treasure Spirit Eyes
"Multi-treasure Spirit Eyes?" 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Li Quanqing blinked, and some conjectures formed in his heart.
Aside from the categorization of Spirit Roots, the Cultivation World housed many special physiques, such as Spiritual Body, Taoist Body, and even the legendary Immortal Body that is said to ensure one’s ascendance to immortality.
These Multi-treasure Spirit Eyes should also fall under the category of a Spiritual Body.
He placed the Light Group into the Storage Bag, still unclear on what anomalies might occur upon fusion. It was better to store it for now and find a secluded place to slowly refine it later.
"Who would have thought that successfully raising a fully grown Spiritual Beast through a breakthrough could actually yield a Light Group reward!"
Li Quanqing held the squawking Treasure Light Toad in his hands, his heart pounding with excitement.
This way, the time and resources spent would be vastly reduced.
After all, the challenge of nurturing a Demon Beast from the Qi Refining Late Stage to Foundation Establishment compared to training one from a cub until Foundation Establishment was simply not on the same scale.
"However, there must be limitations to raising mature-aged Demon Beasts."
"After all, I can see the progress of the cultivation. If I buy a Spiritual Beast stuck at 99% of the Qi Refining Third Layer, and it breaks through to the Middle Stage after just two days, wouldn’t that be too exact a prediction?"
Li Quanqing stroked his chin, reminiscing about the time just after his transmigration when he awakened his Golden Finger and was nurturing the cubs of Demon Beasts.
At the beginning, the Golden Finger didn’t recognize any big Green Jade Carp with more than a 50% Maturity.
Even if he raised such a Green Jade Carp to maturity, he wouldn’t obtain a Light Group reward.
By that reasoning, the progress of cultivation must have a cut-off at 50% as well.
Recalling the time when he first got the Golden Toad, which was at 17% progress in the Qi Refining Third Layer, he felt more at ease.
"There are such limits at the Third Layer, but not for the first and second layers. Naturally, such restrictions would consume more resources and time."
"Still, it is wise to shop around, to look and feel more and to preferably choose to buy Spiritual Beasts around the Qi Refining Third Layer or Sixth Layer."
As for Qi Refining Ninth Layer Demon Beasts?
Without a breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, Li Quanqing had no intention of buying one just yet—just one word—
Play it safe!
"Come, let me touch you and imprint you with a Slave Beast Seal!"
Seizing the Golden Toad with practiced ease, light of Spirit Light blossomed from his fingertips, the power of his soul surged, and transformed into a small, white, transparent seal.
Previously, it was uncertain whether the Treasure Light Toad would produce a Light Group after its breakthrough.
Now proven successful, and with the Golden Toad having reached the Middle Stage of Qi Refinement, it was naturally time to solidify stability.
"Gua gua! Gua gua!"
The Treasure Light Toad lay there leisurely, belly exposed, offering no resistance at all, utterly relaxed, letting him do as he pleased.
Li Quanqing directly imprinted a Slave Beast Seal within its True Spirit, and it went smoothly, without a hitch.
"Gua gua!"
The Spirit Toad felt nothing at all, looking at him with half-closed eyes, its expression seemingly saying, "Are you done? I’ve got things to do!"
Li Quanqing coughed, feeling an almost imperceptible spiritual bond, and his heart settled. He tossed the Treasure Light Toad back into the pile of Jade.
"Multi-treasure Spirit Eyes!"
Once he finished his tasks, the young man found a quiet place, enveloped himself with an Array, and finally took out and crushed the Light Group.
Amidst the sparkling light, a jewel-like, multicolored jade eye with a dark pupil, as if alive, appeared in his hand, staring right at him.
[Multi-treasure Spirit Eyes: Innate treasure eyes capable of scanning the energies of all things in the world, seek out treasures, aid in cultivation, require the nourishment of various treasures’ Spiritual Energy to grow.]
How does one use this thing?
Li Quanqing caressed the jade eye in his hands, then hesitated for a moment before placing it on the center of his forehead, at the Mud Pill Palace, to give it a try.
Certainly, he wasn’t supposed to swallow it, right?
As expected, the next moment the jade eye vibrated slightly, showing new changes.
Buzz, buzz!
Air vibrated as rays of Treasure Light shot out from the dark pupil, illuminating all colors, casting light over heaven and earth.
Then, stimulated by the power of the soul, the jade eye suddenly melted, turning into two streams of liquid covering Li Quanqing’s eyes, the feeling of restriction was intense.
His eyes became infused with the multicolored hue of jade, leaving only the dark centers of the pupils, flickering with a dark luster.
Blindness!
Li Quanqing could only feel a stinging pain in front of his eyes, followed by brief blindness, seeing nothing, dark as night.
Fortunately, the rough sensation vanished quickly, warm currents released from the pupils, drilling towards his soul.
It felt warm and cozy, as if he was soaking in a hot spring, reminiscent of wearing a steam eye mask.
Even though it’s called Spiritual Eyes, the real mystery actually lies closely with the soul.
Li Quanqing’s expression gradually relaxed, and he simply lay on the ground, leaving it to stir as it might, feeling an unprecedented sense of relaxation in his head.
A good two hours passed.
Just when Li Quanqing was feeling drowsy, he heard a crisp snapping sound, and the layer of jade covering the surface of his eyes cracked in half.
Is it over?
Li Quanqing waited a moment longer before removing the jade from his eyes and once again saw the light.
He has Body Refining Cultivation, so it didn’t hurt.
Swoosh!
The youth blinked gently, and within his pitch-black pupils, five-colored Treasure Light was misty, and he suddenly found that the world in front of him had changed.
Everything was glowing, emanating an aura unique to themselves.
Each mountain, each stone, each grass, and each tree was steaming with different colored airflows, even within the great mountains and rivers of the earth where the ground energy surged like rivers.
Seeing through the surface, glimpsing the origin.
Was this the world as seen through the eyes of the Treasure Light Toad?
Li Quanqing looked at the Sea Suppressing Bell hanging from his waist, only to see a surge of azure light like the sea, misty like water vapor, mixed with a strand of crystal-clear invisible sword light.
He felt his Multi-treasure Spirit Eyes becoming restless, eager to absorb the Treasure Light Spiritual Energy contained in the Sea Suppressing Bell.
Li Quanqing did not hesitate, directly absorbing a strand of Treasure Qi into his pupils.
The next moment, a streak of sea-blue appeared in his pupils, and its essence seemed to have grown an indiscernibly tiny bit.
After absorbing this stream of energy, the Multi-treasure Eyes immediately lost interest in the Sea Suppressing Bell.
Unlike the Treasure Light Toad, he didn’t need a sheer amount of Treasure Qi but a variety.
Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, a hundred thousand!
The more treasures, the better, as each treasure materialized its unique aura.
"However, Spiritual Eyes are not omnipotent. Many powerful cultivators are born with sharp spiritual senses, and careless probing can easily lead to trouble."
Li Quanqing blinked his eyes, and the Treasure Light in his pupils dispersed, turning back into his soft black eyes.
The Spiritual Eyes could be controlled at will, and he finally saw the world in its normal state again, no longer so chaotic.
"It’s time for a trip to the Whale Emperor Fang City."
Li Quanqing stretched his limbs and stood up, making a decision in his heart.
Now that the Workshop was gradually being built and perfected, it was time to visit his own patch of land and decide on what kind of business would be best.
Besides, the Workshop was abound with treasures, which could be used for cultivating Multi-treasure Spirit Eyes, and he could also buy some Qi Refinement level Spiritual Beasts to bring back and nurture.
"The Azure Water Python and the Copper-armored Crab are also about to break through to the Qi Refining Middle Stage, but the spiritual energy on Fish-Dragon Island is somewhat lacking, necessitating the purchase of Elixirs and Demon Beast Meat for cultivation aid."
Thinking of this, Li Quanqing suddenly had a headache.
Fish-Dragon Pool may be vast, but it only had a First Rank High Grade Spirit Vein.
The fourth batch of over a thousand Green Jade Carps was gradually entering the Qi Refining Realm, devouring night and day. It’s like having more than a thousand Qi Refining Cultivators.
Although the carps were small and had no Cultivation Technique to open their Dantian, they instinctively absorbed Spiritual Energy into their bodies, incorporating it into their flesh and blood.
It takes about a dozen Green Jade Carps to match one Human Clan Cultivator.
But the spiritual energy consumed daily could still be described as massive.
Plus, there were the twenty or so Qi Refining Middle Stage Spirit Fish like Ao Qing.
The Spirit Vein was already overloaded.
Fortunately, Li Quanqing himself had never cultivated, meditated or breathed in Spiritual Energy and relied on Spirit Stones and Spiritual Energy Groups, barely maintaining the situation.
"The micro Spiritual Energy Groups produced by the great Green Jade Carps are of no use to me. Might as well throw them directly into the fish pond to nourish the Spirit Vein in Fish-Dragon Pool," Li Quanqing decided, reasoning that the benefits come from within.
Even so, two to three years from now, when the third batch of a hundred Green Jade Carps breaks through to the Qi Refining Middle Stage one by one.
That would truly reach the limit of what Fish-Dragon Pool could support.
"We’ll deal with the future when it comes. By then, I’m probably going to be preparing to tackle the Foundation Establishment bottleneck," Li Quanqing thought of the recent tidbits that Li Quanfu had told him.
The Shuihua Sword Sect had begun to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. As the news spread, it drew the attention of all Foundation Establishment forces and Loose Cultivators.
He was also quite envious, yet he could only watch.
Not to mention getting a touch of it, he couldn’t even catch the scent of the Elixir!
