After some exploration, in Xiao Chen's view, the Ancestral Court's treasury was like a garbage dump. From the most common casting materials and ores to precious spiritual roots, everything was piled up together. Some things had even been piled up for countless years.
According to Elder Shi, every time the Ancestral Court opened the treasury, a large number of yuan stones were used as a reward. Even if there were spiritual weapons, there were only a few. However, now that the Desolate Border Region was about to face a disaster, the yuan stones and various treasures in the treasury could be said to be put to use. To put it bluntly, the war was a competition of resources.
The Ancestral Court had also been quietly accumulating strength over the years. In the entire treasury, there were very few spiritual medicines. There were also some treasures that could increase one's strength, but most of them had been used to increase the strength of warriors.
At this moment, Xiao Chen was heading towards an ancient forest. This ancient forest was located in a corner of the entire secret territory. It only occupied a few square miles, but it was a place where the spiritual roots of heaven and earth gathered.
Earth-step spiritual roots Blood Flower Vine, Earth-step spiritual roots Wind Mist Grass, Earth-step spiritual roots Spirit Gathering Flower, Heaven-step spiritual roots Purpleblood Tree, Heaven-step spiritual roots Purple Jade Lotus, Heaven-step spiritual roots Bitter Bamboo.
They were all densely planted together. However, it seemed that there was a secret array in this place that allowed the spiritual roots to maintain their vitality and not grow. What entered Xiao Chen's eyes were mostly some spiritual roots seedlings.
"Eh, that is?"
Suddenly, Xiao Chen's expression became excited. He stared at a five-colored spiritual root among the hundreds of spiritual roots. This spiritual root was less than ten feet tall, and its whole body was filled with a five-colored divine splendor. Its trunk was like a five-colored glaze, very eye-catching.
The spiritual root Five-Colored Sky Mending Fruit Tree!
Xiao Chen had not expected that he would be able to find the Spirit Root of the Five-Colored Heaven Mending Fruit in this treasure trove. The Five-Colored Heaven Mending Fruit could make up for the flaws of the Heavenly Layer, allowing a cultivator to raise their cultivation by one grade. Such a treasure would definitely make all the cultivators of the great desolate land go crazy over it.
Although the Five-Colored Sky-Mending Fruits produced by the Five-Colored Sky-Mending Fruit Tree could only make up for martial arts below the seventh-grade, it was still an upper-grade Sky-Mending Fruit.
If it was the tree of the Seven-Colored Sky-Mending Fruit, then it would be a top-grade heaven-ranked fruit. If it was the spirit root of the Nine-Colored Sky-Mending Fruit, then it would definitely be an existence like the Royal Tree. Even the supreme monarchs might not necessarily have the tree of the Nine-Colored Sky-Mending Fruit. It was a true natural oddity.
It was already a pleasant surprise for Xiao Chen to find the spiritual root of the Five-Colored Sky-Mending Fruit here. Although it was only at the Seedling Stage, Xiao Chen had the Heavenly Abode Medicinal Garden, which was enough for the Five-Colored Sky-Mending Fruit to grow quickly.
Through cultivation, Xiao Chen could even cut a mature branch from the Five-Colored Sky-Mending Fruit Tree and reproduce it to separate the Three-Colored Sky-Mending Fruit. When it completely matured, it would be truly priceless and immeasurable. It would be able to continuously produce Sky-Mending Fruits.
It was like a source of wealth. The Sky-Mending Fruit could make up for the shortcomings of the martial path in the Heavenly Abode Medicinal Garden. It was enough to make countless warriors scramble for it, and it was enough for Xiao Chen to obtain a large amount of resources. This was a true treasure. Whether it was sold for a large amount of resources or to cultivate the warriors of the tribe, the benefits were absolutely immeasurable.
"Azure Stone, if this Five-Colored Sky-Mending Fruit is placed in the Heavenly Abode Medicinal Garden, can it evolve into a Seven-Colored Sky-Mending Fruit or even a Nine-Colored Sky-Mending Fruit?"
Very soon, Azure Stone's voice sounded in his Spiritual Sea again. "Master, the transformation of the spiritual root is similar to that of a fierce beast. It also depends on the bloodline in the body. However, the spiritual root is called the Origin. If this Five-Colored Sky-Mending Fruit is cultivated, it may be able to transform into a Seven-Colored Sky-Mending Fruit. However, there is no hope for it to become a Nine-Colored Sky-Mending Fruit."
"I've been too naive!"
Azure Stone's words made Xiao Chen smile bitterly. The Nine-Colored Sky-Mending Fruit's spiritual root had already surpassed the level of a Heaven-Class spiritual root. Moreover, the Nine-Colored Sky-Mending Fruit that it bore could allow a warrior to return to the Innate Stage of the martial path from the Acquired Stage of the martial path. It could even be called a Leakless Fruit. Even the Seven-Colored Sky-Mending Fruit could not achieve such a miraculous effect. This was already another level of life.
Immediately, Xiao Chen's figure stepped into the spiritual root forest. He stretched out his palm and gently pressed it on the Five-Colored Sky-Mending Fruit's spiritual root.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the shameless Sky-Mending Fruit's spiritual root swayed gently, as if it was shivering. The next moment, Xiao Chen clearly felt a vague spirituality transmitted into his Spiritual Sea.
Buzz!
At that moment, with a thought from Xiao Chen, the entire Five-Colored Sky-Mending Fruit rose from the ground. With a leap, it landed in his Zhou Tian's Spiritual Sea. Similarly, the five-colored roots were embedded in the Spiritual Sea, flickering with a five-colored brilliance.
The spiritual root of heaven and earth could be said to be a special kind of life. It could fuse with a warrior. Of course, this was only possible with an extremely high-grade spiritual root. Because there was an unknown stone lion in the mystic realm, Xiao Chen did not directly place the spiritual root in the medicinal garden of the Seal of Mountains and Rivers.
Similarly, the ancient bronze city was also placed in another storage space by Xiao Chen. The three items he had chosen had to pass through the stone lion's inspection before leaving the Ancestral Court's treasury. Although the Seal of Mountains and Rivers was extremely mysterious, Xiao Chen did not intend to expose it in order to avoid unnecessary trouble. Even the communication between Azure Stone and him in the Spiritual Sea was deliberately suppressed by him. Furthermore, it was in the Spiritual Sea and was not exposed to the outside world, so it was sufficiently hidden.
After collecting the spiritual root of the Five-Colored Sky-Mending Fruit, Xiao Chen only had one more chance left.
"Let's continue to look for the last treasure!"
With the ancient bronze city and the Sky-Mending Fruit Tree, Xiao Chen was overjoyed. This time, the reward from the Ancestral Court was great. Even if he randomly chose a spiritual weapon for the last treasure, he would not be disappointed.
He lifted his foot and changed directions, continuing to walk to the side. Treasures continuously appeared in front of Xiao Chen's eyes. There were magical weapons, spiritual materials, and even some auxiliary treasures. He could also see some weapons and magic treasures that belonged not only to the Human Clan.
Although Xiao Chen was already satisfied, he still had some time left. If he randomly chose an ordinary treasure, it would be a waste of the remaining opportunity.
As for those Spiritual Weapons, they were not considered too precious. As for High Grade Spiritual Weapons, with Xiao Chen's current strength, he was unable to control them. Furthermore, once he reached that realm, he would be able to obtain them through other methods. Therefore, Xiao Chen was not interested in choosing them.
"This is the Blood Spring of the Blood Clan!"
At this moment, Xiao Chen's gaze fell on a pool of blood. This pool of blood was like a blood crystal. It was a foot wide and was placed among a pile of weapons from the Other Clan. It seemed that a Human Clan cultivator had killed a Blood Clan to obtain this treasure.
Different from the evil and bloody aura that the other alien weapons gave off, this pool of blood didn't seem evil. Instead, it had a hint of sweet fragrance.
There were a few large holes on the top of this pool of blood, and even a corner was cut off by a supreme divine force. However, the origin of the pool of blood was not damaged.
The Blood Clan could be said to have evolved the Way of Blood to the extreme. Even in the Blood World of the Blood Clan, the Way of Blood had been imprinted on the small world through countless years of the Blood Emperor's continuous efforts, becoming one of the Great Ways of the Blood World.
And in the Blood Clan, even the smallest Blood Clan, when establishing their clan, would create a pool of blood belonging to their clan, also known as the Origin Blood Spring. The essence of blood would be nurtured in the pool of blood. If the members of the Blood Clan were to enter the blood spring for baptism, they could even awaken their origin bloodline and deepen their understanding of the Way of Blood.
The Origin Blood Spring had the function of gathering essence, purifying and nourishing it. It could make the essence contained in it deeper, ensuring that it could play the greatest role. Of course, this required a large amount of resources to be put into it.
After seeing the stone pool formed from the Origin Blood Spring, Xiao Chen had already regarded it as the last choice for this trip to the treasury.
In the Blood Clan, the Origin Blood Spring could be used to refine a large number of living creatures into blood essence. But in his hands, he could also make use of the miraculous nature of the blood pool to invest a large amount of spiritual herbs and resources, or even the precious blood of ferocious beasts, to nurture the bloodline essence of medicinal herbs, and use it to nurture the warriors of the tribe.
This blood pool was definitely a supreme weapon to nurture the warriors of the tribe. Nowadays, with the development of the tribe, the enemies that the Gu Yuan Tribe's Combat Masters encountered were getting stronger and stronger. It was impossible for them to keep up with the tribe's development. Even if there were 10,000 Combat Masters, they would still be slaughtered by Heavenly Building Realm warriors. However, the Combat Masters were an indispensable defensive force of the tribe.
Therefore, Xiao Chen planned to nurture the Combat Masters of the tribe again. Survival of the fittest, he would choose the elites among them to practice battle formations and become Combat Formation Masters. With the formation, they would be able to resist the expedition of the strong. This blood pool might have an unexpected effect on the nurturing of the warriors of the tribe.
Then, Xiao Chen put away the blood pool and glanced at the treasury. There were so many treasures in the treasury that it was difficult to estimate. Even though Xiao Chen had searched like this, he had not explored one-third of the entire treasury. There were many things that he had not found. However, he had already found what he needed, so there was no need to stay any longer. Then, he walked towards the direction of the stone lion that guarded the secret realm.
"Senior, I have made my choice."
Xiao Chen took out the Bronze Ghost City, the Heaven Nourishing Fruit spiritual root, and the blood pool formed from the Origin Blood Spring. Green light appeared in the stone lion's eyes again, and it examined Xiao Chen from head to toe. There was no abnormality. Then, Xiao Chen felt the silver light around him flourishing.
An extremely strong repulsive force came from the secret realm. When he opened his eyes again, he was already out of the treasury and standing in front of the wordless stone tablet.
