Using entries to cultivate immortality in chaotic times

Chapter 386: Chapter 166: “They are from the Chao Tian Sect?!”_2
 

So many things have come together to form this Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasure tea set.

Each item is a Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasure in itself, but not when taken separately; it’s only when the set is taken as a whole that it qualifies as a Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasure.

In fact, all these items are pretty much useless.

For example, the tea clip used to pick up leaves, and the tea needle to clear the spout of a teapot, isn’t spiritual energy more efficient than these? Do we even need to use our hands? With just a thought, the teapot would naturally be cleaned by the spiritual energy flowing through it.

But obviously…

The point of the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasure tea set is to make you use your hands instead of spiritual energy.

Each small object is surging with the power of heaven and earth, which is perceived as extraordinary at even a glance.

And there’s only one effect afforded by this set of Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasures.

“The tea brewed with this tea set will contain the force of heaven and earth.”

However, the force of heaven and earth thus infused has no practical use, it doesn’t increase Cultivation, doesn’t enlighten you to the Dao, nor does it enhance your cultivation techniques or even your lifespan; the only effect is to make you exclaim ‘wow’ after sipping the tea for containing the force of heaven and earth.

Other effects… there are none.

“…”

Chen Qiu looked expressionlessly at the set of Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasures in his hand, well aware that among Spiritual Treasures, there’s an extremely rare category known as ensemble treasures, which often put an Artifact Cultivator’s fundamental skills to the test.

And this Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasure in his hands had more than a dozen small components, the craftsmanship of which was extremely intricate.

But—

Despite that intricacy and the high status as a Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasure, it had no notable effects.

This was akin to using the finest materials from Xuantian Continent, expending a massive amount of effort, to make oneself a… tea set for drinking tea.

Pretty good.

Only such things were worthy to go with his “Frostveil Tea” and “Frostveil Tea.”

Though it had no effects, it was still his fifth Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasure, granting him the benefits of a second ensemble effect.

His first ensemble effect was,

“The might of the Thunder Summoning Technique when released will gain enhancement.”

Particularly tailored for the Thunder Summoning Technique.

Chen Qiu settled his mind and looked towards the second ensemble effect floating above his Dantian.

“The might of the Thunder Summoning Technique when released will gain further enhancement.”

“…”

This time, Chen Qiu fell into a longer silence, uncertain why both ensemble effects of the Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasure were so fixated on the Thunder Summoning Technique, insisting on boosting the might of this technique. Although it was also a good thing, he wished there could be some variety.

Collect eight Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasures, and you would gain one more, also the last, ensemble effect.

He could almost guess what this last effect would be.

Without surprises, it should be another boost to the might of your Thunder Summoning Technique.

He looked at the relatively plain bracelet on his left wrist; this bracelet was what he had picked up from a street vendor while in Great Yuan City. After nurturing it within his Dantian for ten days, it had finally cleansed away the dust, revealing its true appearance, and displaying its effect as a Spiritual Treasure.

A Golden Core, top-grade, Earth Level Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasure.

Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasures are growth treasures, accompanying the owner’s rise in Cultivation and growing alongside.

“Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella” is his Lifebound Treasure.

And now the Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella is a Golden Core, pinnacle-grade, Heavenly Level top-class Spiritual Treasure; when he first obtained it, it was merely a Golden Core, lower-grade, Heavenly Level top-class Spiritual Treasure. Alongside his growth in Cultivation, its level too had reached Golden Core pinnacle-grade.

But it had not reached the Nascent Soul yet; to get there, some materials were needed to prepare the Spiritual Treasure for the breakthrough.

“Required materials: 100 Mid-grade Spirit Stones, 20 pieces of Evil Wood, one Eight Desolate Fruit.”

“Hmm…”

Chen Qiu raised an eyebrow; he gathered he had all the required materials, and as soon as he returned to his small world, he could also promote the Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella to the Nascent Soul lower-grade. The Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella was his Lifebound Spiritual Treasure and had already formed a set with his other Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasures.

If the Lifebound Spiritual Treasure’s grade is upgraded, the grades of the other owned Heavenly Dao Spiritual Treasures will be upgraded as well.

This aspect presented no difficulties.

…

After roughly sorting through the loot once more, he finally took a deep breath.

Especially that restored left arm gave him a feeling of returning from a long journey still a youth. He had yet to choose an entry for the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage, but he was in no rush at the moment.

After all, this was the first time he was pulling entries at the Nascent Soul cultivation level.

He decided to wait until all matters were dealt with, then return to the Chao Tian Sect to find a place of absolute safety for his entry selection.

Then Chen Qiu turned his head to look at Fat Long, “Fat Long, later on, I’ll have a few Nascent Soul cultivation level Chao Tian Sect disciples follow you while you go out to gather information.”

“The main task is to find out which sects in Quzhou contain Evil Cultivators and Demon Cultivators who are frequently up to no good.”

“Those sects that don’t have any Divinity Transformation Stage ones.”

“Then we will visit each one in turn, acting for the people to eliminate evil, to carry out justice on Heaven’s behalf, slaying demons and vanquishing devils.”

“Understood!”

Fat Long nodded gravely.

Just then—

Chen Qiu’s eyes glinted with a hint of humor as he looked at Fat Long, “Oh? Broke through to the Golden Core? Cultivation shot up?”

“Just lucky.”

Seeing Brother Qiu take the initiative to ask about himself, Fat Long puffed out his chest with a bit of pride, preparing to recount the third entry he had randomly obtained when suddenly he was interrupted by a voice.

“Brother Qiu!”

Suddenly, the scholar shot up from the depths of the ocean, slightly panting as he said, “I encountered a dragon in the sea, a real dragon. I almost caught up with it, but it flicked its tail and sent me flying.”

“But it was clearly holding back, it just knocked me away without any harm.”

“Which means, there could truly be Dragons!”

“I’ve heard legends of dragons in Da Xia, but never seen one. Now that I think about it, that legend must have been transmitted from the Heavenly Continent to Da Xia Country. The dragon described in that legend appears just as this one did, supremely powerful, and… supposedly delicious in taste.”
