Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension-Chapter 239: Capture Sky Basket 209 and Heavenly True Water

The treasure embryo of the Sea Pearl requires shell pearls, the higher the grade the better. Your next read is at novelbuddy

That three-thousand-year-old Spiritual Pearl was prepared for refining the Sea Suppressing Pearl. However, he was not satisfied with it and hoped to find a higher quality Spiritual Pearl in the future, preferably one that surpassed ten thousand years.

Once a shell pearl surpasses ten thousand years, it is called a Spirit Communication Treasure Pearl. Using it to refine magical treasures ensures that the grade of the treasure will be at least high-grade, which is immensely helpful for breaking through the Nascent Soul Barrier in the future.

That being said, Zhao Sheng was not entirely without hope for advancing to the True Pill.

All Divine Powers and Treasure Techniques were also created and deduced by predecessors.

He would neither be arrogantly self-aggrandizing nor unduly self-deprecating.

If predecessors could achieve it, so might he.

Such were his thoughts when,

The short and chubby shopkeeper of Qidan Pavilion rushed into the living room excitedly, running and shouting, "It’s done, it’s done! Senior, the sect has just sent word that they will send a Special Envoy here to meet with you soon. Please be patient and wait a few days."

"Hmm, thank you for the effort, Taoist friend." Zhao Sheng gently put down his tea bowl, smiling as he slightly bowed in gratitude.

"Ah, this is but the least I ought to do. Senior, you needn’t be so formal," said the chubby elder in a fluster, waving his hands repeatedly.

Zhao Sheng then said, "I am still in need of Yin-Yang Green Shoes Fruit, soul leech poison powder, and Illusion Desire Butterfly Eggs. Does Qidan Pavilion have these three Spiritual Medicines available?"

After thinking for a moment, the chubby elder confidently responded, "The Spiritual Medicines mentioned by senior are extremely rare. Currently, we only have the Yin-Yang Green Shoes Fruit here. The other two would need to be transported from elsewhere. If senior is not in a hurry, could you possibly wait a few days?"

"I am not in a hurry. Just go ahead and arrange the transport. However, ensure the quality of the Spiritual Medicines is sufficiently good."

"Rest assured, senior! This humble one would never dare tarnish the reputation of Qidan Pavilion."

...

After leaving Qidan Pavilion, Zhao Sheng strolled around the workshop, entering and exiting various shops to purchase what he needed, before returning to the Dome Turtle Treasure Ship.

While the Zhao family was busy purchasing various supplies, Zhao Sheng, who had just returned to the ship, went directly to his private cabin on the second deck and started his closed-door cultivation without emerging.

Entering the cabin, Zhao Sheng flicked his hands and released four Barrier Talismans; four talismans flew out and instantly attached themselves to the four walls of the ship, and suddenly four layers of spirit light dramatically rose, enveloping the entire cabin in a blink of an eye.

Zhao Sheng went deep into the cabin, sat cross-legged on a cushion and pondered for a moment before stretching his right hand into his bosom to pull out a storage bag of apricot-yellow color.

With a flick of the storage bag, an ordinary-looking bamboo basket flew out from the mouth of the bag, landing in Zhao Sheng’s hands.

The bamboo basket was verdant green but crudely weaved, and gaps could be seen between the strips.

However, the basket surprisingly contained a pool of azure water. When slightly tilted, the azure water rippled and slowly flowed through the gaps in the bamboo yet seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, preventing any of it from leaking out.

In the gently rippling azure water, a little fish emitting a multicolored light halo swam leisurely, occasionally sprinkling patches of vibrant colors.

Zhao Sheng’s expression was serene as he repeatedly formed Seal Mantras with both hands, and streams of bright blue Spiritual Power shot out from his hands, striking the bamboo basket before him.

The basket was soon enveloped in dense blue radiance, looking as though it was wrapped in a cloud of blue mist. Within the mist, wisps of blue light undulated unpredictably, continuously striking every strip on the basket’s surface, attempting to refine them.

However, the effect was minimal.

After a prolonged refining process lasting an hour, only faint traces of blue light were seen seeping into the surface of the bamboo basket.

Ever since he acquired this magical treasure bamboo basket more than twenty years ago, Zhao Sheng had been continuously trying to refine it.

Perhaps due to incompatible attributes or the lack of a key refining treasure formula.

Over the years, the progress of refining had always been less than satisfactory; he hadn’t even completely refined the first treasure restriction.

Of course, the efforts of these years were not entirely in vain. At the very least, he had gained a deeper understanding of this magical treasure.

This bamboo basket magical treasure was a Wood Element space-attribute treasure, woven from Ancient Primordial Void Bamboo that was nearly extinct in the Tianzhu Realm.

Its grade was very high, with Zhao Sheng currently aware of six treasure restrictions.

Perhaps deeper inside the magical treasure, more treasure restrictions are hidden, but with his current Divine Sense, Zhao Sheng could not sense them.

The level of a magical treasure does not only depend on its quality but also on how many treasure restrictions it contains internally.

Generally speaking, a magical treasure can contain up to nine treasure restrictions, categorized by threes, with six or more being a high-grade magical treasure. Four to six restrictions count as a mid-grade magical treasure, and three or fewer as the lowest grade.

Facing what might very likely be a high-grade magical treasure, or even an ancient heavy treasure, one can imagine how much effort Zhao Sheng had put in over the years to refine it.

Four hours later, with nearly half of his Core Spiritual Power consumed, a look of delight appeared on Zhao Sheng’s face.

His hands moved so fast they blurred, pouring bright blue Spiritual Power onto the basket like a waterfall, the dense spirit clouds so thick they almost liquefied, filling the cabin with dazzling blue light.

At the same time, Divine Light surged in Zhao Sheng’s eyes, a golden light suddenly shot out from his Purple Mansion directly onto the basket’s surface, disappearing into a dark void in a flash, then instantly submerged into a vigorous, cold-colored treasure light and vanished without a trace.

Zhao Sheng was exceedingly joyful at this moment; his more than twenty years of hard work had not been in vain, as he had finally refined the first treasure restriction.

The moment after refining, a vast array of information surged into his mind—all about the bamboo basket magical treasure, including its name and the most basic manipulation techniques.

Zhao Sheng then learned that the true name of this magical treasure was Capturing Sky Basket, a dual-attribute Void and Wood magical treasure, containing eight treasure restrictions and its grade was close to a top-grade magical treasure.
