Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family - Chapter 290
Chapter 290: Chapter 138: 100,000 Spirit Stones, The Change in Xiao Xiyue!_2
After all, the young man in the red robe didn’t seem like an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
One would think he couldn’t be too poor.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz—”
At this moment, the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm was flying around Lu Changsheng.
Its wings, thin as cicada’s, fluttered, emitting a bloodthirsty aura.
“Go ahead.”
Lu Changsheng naturally understood what the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm meant and chuckled lightly.
He hadn’t burned the young man in the red robe to ashes, precisely to leave the body for the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm.
After all, this Six-Winged Golden Silkworm fed on blood.
To it, the blood essence of a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator like the young man in the red robe was naturally a great tonic.
Having received Lu Changsheng’s permission, the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm immediately burrowed into the young man’s body and began to feast greedily.
“Isn’t this a bit too much like the practices of the Demonic Path?”
Lu Changsheng watched the actions of the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm and smacked his lips.
Very soon, he shook his head and said, “But it’s just resource utilization after all. If I didn’t feed it to the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm, I’d have to burn it to ashes.”
“Besides, this is far from what the Demon Path cultivators do.”
“I read in a book before that some Demonic Path cultivators use any resource they can for cultivation, be it humans, demon beasts, or the souls of all living beings.”
“Things like human skin books, White Bone Arrows, pools of blood and flesh, Myriad Soul Banners, and even human emotions like joy, anger, and hatred can be used for cultivation.”
Lu Changsheng clicked his tongue in amazement.
He had roughly read about the differences between the righteous path and the Demonic Path in books before.
Although the descriptions weren’t very detailed, he had a general idea.
Demonic Path cultivators are more extreme in their cultivation techniques and behaviors, showing less humanity for the sake of advancement.
This consequently leads to some differences in the speed of cultivation and breaking through realms.
But on the whole, there isn’t much difference between cultivators of the righteous path and those of the Demonic Path.
“My cheap brother-in-law seems to have followed the Demonic Path, and I have no idea about his current situation or if he’s still alive.”
Lu Changsheng suddenly remembered Qu Zhenzhen’s brother, Qu Changge.
After all these years, he wondered how his cheap brother-in-law, who had entered the Demonic Path, was faring.
After all, life wasn’t easy for Demonic Path cultivators in Jiang Country.
Without further musing, Lu Changsheng began to check the Storage Bag.
“So many Spirit Stones, materials!?”
Lu Changsheng immediately saw a pile of Spirit Stones and materials inside, and his face lit up with surprise.
Even without counting in detail, he could tell at a glance that this was no small number of Spirit Stones.
Among them were many lustrous Middle Grade Spirit Stones.
“Hmm, what’s this?”
Lu Changsheng then looked at a crystal porcelain bottle.
Inside was half a bottle of red crystal granules, resplendent like glazed glass.
Just by the quality of the exquisite Spirit Bottle and the appearance of the crystals, Lu Changsheng could tell they were no mundane objects.
Opening the porcelain bottle, he immediately felt an intense, scorching energy.
Each grain of crystal shone with a precious light.
“Could this be something like the Core Formation Spiritual Object, Heavenly Fire Glaze, as recorded in the books?”
“If this thing really is the Core Formation Spiritual Object, Heavenly Fire Glaze, then its value is at least fifty to sixty thousand Spirit Stones.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the crystal porcelain bottle, his face filled with a smile, and he put it into his Storage Bag.
A regular Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object might cost two to three thousand Spirit Stones.
But for a Core Formation Spiritual Object, the price increases twentyfold.
And they are priceless on the market!
Lu Changsheng continued his inventory.
Seeing ordinary materials and Magic Artifacts didn’t stir much emotion in him.
“Red Phoenix True Scripture, a Peripheral Sect Level Cultivation Technique.”
“Seems like there’s something worthwhile after all, to possess a Peripheral Sect Level Cultivation Technique.”
“However, the technique is incomplete, only cultivable to the Core Formation Stage, but I can study the two secret techniques recorded inside later.”
Lu Changsheng found several Technique Jade Slips in the Storage Bag.
After a brief glance, there were several High Grade Cultivation Techniques and the inheritance of a hundred arts of cultivation.
Only the Red Phoenix True Scripture notably piqued Lu Changsheng’s interest.
“Is this a Magic Treasure embryo?”
Lu Changsheng saw a small black-red cauldron among the items, examining it in his hand.
This small cauldron had only a rough outline of a cauldron shape.
Neither the design nor the patterns were sculpted yet, resembling an unrefined embryo.
But from inspecting the material of the small cauldron and the aura it emitted, even the worldly Lu Changsheng faintly sensed that this was a Magic Treasure.
This kind of appearance made Lu Changsheng guess it was a Magical Treasure embryo.
As far as Lu Changsheng knew, most cultivators’ Life-bound Magic Treasures are made from some rare and precious materials, which they refine themselves.
They then shape it into an embryo, and gradually nurture and imbue it into a fledgling form, eventually turning it into a Magic Treasure.
This has an advantage, as one could control the fledgling form of the Magic Treasure in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
And by nurturing the Magic Treasure embryo well in advance, one could let the Magic Treasure take shape immediately upon reaching Core Formation, significantly increasing its power.
“Could it be that this young man in the red robe is a cultivator in the late stage of Foundation Establishment?”
“Otherwise, why would he have Core Formation Spiritual Objects and a Magical Treasure embryo?”
Lu Changsheng glanced at the corpse that was being drained of blood by the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm and speculated.
After all, how could an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator have such rare items?
However, sifting through the spoils made Lu Changsheng somewhat relieved.
For he had also found in the red-robed young man’s Storage Bag, six pieces of Supreme Talismans of the second rank, as well as Heavenly Thunder Pearls, White Bone Arrows, and other treasures.
It became clear that the latter actually had quite a few trump cards.
If he had made a determined attempt to take their lives from the beginning of their encounter with him and Xiao Xiyue, neither she nor Lu Changsheng would have had the chance to retaliate.
There wouldn’t have been any time to employ Talisman Treasures to suppress him.
“The same principle applies, even when a lion hunts a rabbit, it uses all its strength,” Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
“Otherwise, one might capsize in the gutter unexpectedly.”
