Chapter 215: Many Treasures

After leaving Qingyu Island, Fang Lie flew westward. The information he possessed suggested an island larger than Qingyu lay in that direction, housing shops of the Four Seas Alliance.

As he flew, Fang Lie began inspecting his Spoils of War.

This Great War had claimed over a hundred Cultivators, including Purple Palace experts and even a Nascent Soul True Immortal. Their Sumeru Bags contained lifetimes’ worth of accumulated wealth—truly an enormous harvest.

Fang Lie first examined the Nascent Soul True Immortal elder’s Sumeru Bag.

Within it lay a fifth-rank lower-grade treasure: the Twin-Tailed Fire Serpent Whips. Resembling twin-headed serpents, they radiated crimson flames infused with the rare life-bound poison fire of a two-headed serpent demon.

Ordinary mortals touching these flames would perish instantly. Survivors would suffer invasive fire poison, challenging even Nascent Soul True Immortals to cure.

Typically, fifth-rank treasures exceeded Fang Lie’s control capacity, being mere display pieces.

But circumstances had changed. Fang Lie now possessed his life-bound treasure—the Devouring Heaven Chaos Halberd. This weapon could consume fire-element treasures for enhancement. With sufficient resources, reaching Ninth-Rank wasn’t impossible.

Moreover, it possessed a unique trait: devouring treasures allowed it to absorb their Spiritual Energy, enabling use of its Minor Formless Chaos Divine Lightning without draining Fang Lie’s Magic.

However, this fifth-rank top-quality Thunder Law couldn’t be activated casually. Only by consuming fifth-rank fire-element treasures could it gather enough pure energy. Lower-ranked treasures merely strengthened its form without unlocking this divine skill.

Eager to boost his combat power and disliking whips regardless, Fang Lie immediately fed this fifth-rank treasure to the halberd.

The Devouring Heaven Chaos Halberd contained Fang Lie’s blood essence, including Third Eye Blood nurtured in his consciousness sea—granting it rudimentary sentience.

Recognizing this meal would strengthen it, the weapon eagerly transformed into a Taotie and swallowed the whips whole before settling to digest its prize.

Continuing his search, Fang Lie discovered an unusual Flying Boat treasure.

Normally palm-sized like an ordinary black awning boat model, he initially dismissed it as trivial.

The old bird’s intervention revealed its true nature—a fifth-rank mechanical puppet-class treasure. Though only seating few passengers compared to thousand-capacity treasure ships, its extreme speed and concealment made it ideal for solitary sea travel.

Unlike standard treasures, this vessel required no complex refining rituals or Magic expenditure. High-grade spirit stones alone powered its functions.

With this discovery, Fang Lie ceased his exhausting flight. After hasty aerial refining, he launched the craft onto choppy seas.

Outwardly appearing as a three-zhang wooden boat, its capabilities became evident upon boarding. Despite raging winds and mountainous waves, the vessel remained steady enough to hold unrippled tea.

Thick Spiritual Energy permeated its cabin, creating perfect cultivation conditions—an exceptional travel tool.

Inspection revealed a central tea table concealing a Formation housing 36 high-grade water-element spirit stones. Though partially depleted, sufficient energy remained for continued voyage.

Fang Lie seated himself, located his target island on the sea map, and set course. Though no vibrations penetrated the cabin, fleeing scenery revealed triple-flight-speed travel—reducing a ten-day journey to three.

Satisfied, Fang Lie resumed organizing spoils within the serene cabin.

For hours, he reveled in plunder—countless spirit stones, spirit pills, treasures, materials, and peculiar Dao magics pouring from Sumeru Bags. Items once coveted now seemed barely worth notice.

After daylong sorting, the haul stood tall: beyond fifth-rank treasures lay over a dozen fourth-tier magical items and 200+ lower-ranked treasures.

Fang Lie extracted all fire-element treasures for the halberd’s consumption. Remaining items received cursory categorization—unworthy of detailed sorting.

Among these treasures, the only one Fang Lie truly cared about was a large water vat.

This vat served as a special container-type treasure, standing over three feet tall with a two-foot diameter, entirely forged from black sea-dark iron.

The container itself held little value, but it nurtured a peculiar aquatic plant inside. The jade-green vegetation grew just over a foot tall, bearing clusters of egg-shaped fruits.

Known as Demon Egg Grass, this plant supposedly grew only upon the dead eggs of abyssal demons. Having absorbed the blood essence of these demonic eggs, it possessed potent medicinal properties for crafting special spirit pills—particularly effective for blood replenishment, bone strengthening, and constitution enhancement.

For Fang Lie, improved constitution meant reinforced spiritual bones and heightened bodily resilience. This enhancement would amplify the shadow of his Nirvana fire nascent fetus, generating more Dao pattern karps and drastically boosting cultivation speed.

Thus Fang Lie desperately wanted to cultivate this plant long-term.

The challenge lay in the grass’s delicate nature—it required environments saturated with dense Spiritual Energy.

Though the customized vat could temporarily sustain it, the spiritual nourishment would degrade within months. Without proper transplantation, the plant would perish.

But Fang Lie’s imminent revenge mission left no time for relocation. Even if time permitted, his home lacked suitable conditions—this aquatic Spirit Plant demanded both Spiritual Soil and specialized Spiritual Water to thrive!

As Fang Lie wrestled with this dilemma, the old bird suddenly interjected: "Herb Garden! You idiot forgot about it!"

The reminder struck Fang Lie like lightning. He smacked his forehead. "Those endless battles made me forget this treasure!"

During his journey from Penglai Immortal City, Fang Lie had raided the treasure ship transporting him, seizing countless spoils. The rarest among them had been a clay-pot-shaped Herb Garden.

Initially occupied with sorting Spoils of War, he’d postponed its refining. But constant conflicts upon arriving at Qingyu Island pushed the matter from his mind—until now.

Had today’s rare spirit herb acquisition not happened, who knows when he’d have remembered it?

Without delay, Fang Lie retrieved the pot-shaped Herb Garden and began the refining ritual.

This rare spatial treasure proved challenging to refine—even with his current strength, the process consumed half a day.

Upon completion, Fang Lie fully understood the Herb Garden’s properties and realized he’d scored another Enormous Bargain.

This wasn’t an ordinary Herb Garden, but a rare Eight Trigrams Herb Garden containing eight distinct zones corresponding to the trigrams: Qian (heaven), Kun (earth), Kan (water), Li (fire), Zhen (thunder), Gen (mountain), Xun (wind), and Dui (swamp).

Qian’s domain manifested as white clouds for airborne Spirit Plants. Kun’s earthy section accommodated most land vegetation. Kan’s watery realm hosted aquatic flora. Li’s fiery zone contained Spiritual Fields ideal for fire-element plants. Zhen’s thunder sector nourished lightning-attuned species. Gen’s rocky terrain supported lithophytic growths. Xun’s windy expanse sustained wind-dependent specimens. Dui’s marshy wetlands fostered swamp-loving herbs.

These eight environments—each spanning over ten acres—covered nearly all Spirit Plant habitats.

The water-element Demon Egg Grass naturally went into Kan’s territory—an expansive aquatic zone filled with special Myriad Spirit Water brimming with water-element Spiritual Energy.

Upon immersion, the grass unfurled leisurely, visibly revitalized.

With this settled, Fang Lie finally relaxed, leaning against the cabin wall to examine a sea map acquired from the Nascent Soul True Immortal. This non-magical chart detailed regional geography, Four Seas Alliance store locations, and shipping routes.

According to markings, the Four Seas Alliance operated thousands of stores across three tiers:

Lower-tier outlets, managed by Golden Pool realm cultivators, sold goods up to third-tier magical items.

Mid-tier shops overseen by Purple Palace Masters offered Fourth-tier Magical Items.

Upper-tier establishments run by Nascent Soul True Immortals even traded in fifth-rank treasures.
