Chapter 584: Chapter 262: Ancient Profound Vine, Muscle Refining Realm, Noble Family Investiture

These spiritual materials were all seized from Chun Erniang.

However, before the conversation ended, Grandmaster Yu glanced over:

"Yaoyao has been delayed in cultivation due to researching barriers, for the next few years, Yaoyao, you shouldn’t touch these books anymore, focus on cultivation as the right path."

Fu Changsheng was taken aback and hurriedly said:

"Yaoyao, listen to your Grandpa Yu."

But he didn’t put away the box.

Yaoyao had no use for it, but Grandmaster Yu could use it.

On the other side.

Grandmaster Yu then turned to Yaoyao and said, "Your little face is deathly pale, there’s no urgent matter here, quickly go into seclusion."

Several years spent exclusively researching barriers.

Extremely taxing on a person’s mind and spirit, Yaoyao did not refuse, got up, bowed, and went into seclusion in the small building next door.

After she left.

Fu Changsheng patted his storage bag.

A flash of dawn light.

A box with a white wood grain base floated over to Grandmaster Yu:

"Uncle Yu, try opening it and see what’s inside."

Grandmaster Yu was only ever interested in spiritual wine and ancient arrays, he disinterestedly cast a technique into the box, it opened, and a burst of abundant Spiritual Qi rushed forth:

"This is!"

Grandmaster Yu excitedly stood up.

His eyes fixed unwaveringly on the Spirit Plant inside the box, full of disbelief:

"Star Leaf Grass!"

"Changsheng, where did you get this from?"

If he remembered correctly.

In Great Zhou, or even the entire continent, this Spirit Plant had long gone extinct, how could there be such a perfectly preserved one, as if freshly picked.

With this Star Leaf Grass.

His strength should be able to recover to Purple Mansion cultivation.

To say he wasn’t excited.

Would be a lie.

Fu Changsheng briefly recounted the Gongsun Family hiring the Seven Strange People of Lingnan incident.

After hearing it, Grandmaster Yu said:

"Since it was obtained from a Tribulation Cultivator, it’s hard to trace the source" Grandmaster Yu was still hoping to find a few more: "Changsheng, I’ll take this Star Leaf Grass."

He immediately quickly reapplied a Restriction to the box.

Eager to return to the secret chamber for refining.

Fu Changsheng patted his storage bag, another flash of dawn light, taking out a peculiar Spirit Vine, along with explaining Fairy Lady Cai’s previous experiment, Grandmaster Yu frowned and thought for a moment.

Hesitantly said:

"This looks somewhat like the legendary Ancient Times already extinct Ancient Profound Vine."

Ancient Profound Vine?!

Fu Changsheng’s eyes lit up.

Just by hearing the name, he knew it was extraordinary:

"Uncle Yu, please elaborate"

Seeing Fu Changsheng’s excited expression, with a hint of peculiar look on his face, Grandmaster Yu lightly coughed and slowly explained:

"In Ancient Times, the Ancient Profound Vine ranked among the top three of the Ten Great Divine Woods, those who signed a symbiotic contract with the Ancient Profound Vine could share its long lifespan."

"It’s said the first owner"

"Lived for several million years"

"But after a great catastrophe, the Ancient Profound Vine disappeared, upon reappearing it had mutated, becoming a burden for the owner, they couldn’t stray more than a hundred paces away or else the Ancient Profound Vine would wither instantly, and as contract holders, they would instantly perish."

"Additionally"

"The lifespan that the Ancient Profound Vine could extent became limited"

"However, for those nearing death, it’s still seen as a lifesaving straw, its appearance often leads to fierce struggles"

"It’s said"

"Ultimately the Ancient Profound Vine ended up in the Demon Race’s possession, after cultivation it underwent further mutation but this is all recorded in Ancient Times"

"With so many years passed"

"In the Cultivation Realm, it’s been tens of thousands of years since anyone mentioned this."

Able to extend lifespan?

This is indeed good, after all, no one dislikes having a long life.

Fu Changsheng said:

"Uncle Yu, after forming a contract with the Ancient Profound Vine, aside from the distance restriction from its plantation site, are there any other drawbacks?"

Grandmaster Yu shook his head.

Then awakened to reality, staring at Fu Changsheng:

"What’s this, thinking of forming a contract with this Ancient Profound Vine? You absolutely mustn’t do that, once the Ancient Profound Vine is planted it cannot be relocated, you will be confined within a hundred-pace area forever, and the portion of Ancient Profound Vine you hold isn’t complete, whether it can live after planting is uncertain."

In Grandmaster Yu’s eyes.

This Ancient Profound Vine is quite useless.

Fu Changsheng also felt the uncertainties were too many, hurriedly nodded:

"Uncle Yu, don’t worry, I naturally won’t gamble with my life."

Saying this.

He put away the Ancient Profound Vine.

Grandmaster Yu, still concerned, repeatedly instructed Fu Changsheng not to form a contract with the Ancient Profound Vine.

Returning from the back mountain to the Patriarch’s Mansion.

Entered the secret chamber, and closed the array afterwards.

Fu Changsheng patting his storage bag, a peculiar mask instantly floated before him.

With some time left for the Court’s formal conferring of the Eighth-Grade Noble Family, he plans to take one or two Shadow Sect tasks, earn some points, then inquire the Shadow Sect if they have what he needs.

Currently.

He needs many things.

Speaking for himself.

The cultivation of the third layer of the "Great Derivation Technique" requires Thousand Kui Jade. This foundation determines how far he can travel on the cultivation path in the future, so Thousand Kui Jade is urgently needed.

Additionally, spiritual materials housing Star Power are equally important.

Currently, his "Nine Heavens Star Technique" is stuck at the Peak of Flesh Refining Realm.

Secondly.

Autumn Cicada leveling to Tier Three requires Soul-Attracting Pills, and also the Human Emperor Banner where Autumn Cicada resides needs upgrading.

Finally, for the secret realm in Hanling River to open, it needs resources to block the Celestial Secret Pavilion’s spying: Phoenix Blood Wood, Dragon Scale Stone, and Void Spirit Mica.

However, setting up a Grand Array needs three Purple Mansion battle strength, even if Grandmaster Yu regains Purple Mansion cultivation there’s still some time, it should wait until he breaks through to Purple Mansion before pursuing further, for now it is not urgent.
