Chapter 480: Chapter 324: Spiritual Treasure Vessel, Ambush on the Road (Part 2)

The streaming light was smelted into the cover, quickly blending in, and a faint white light could be seen flowing within the Cyan Cloud.

A single Celestial Spirit essence is worth 200 Immortal Coins. Generally, the minimum for a Tier Ten Treasure is 1000 Immortal Coins, while a demon artifact is only worth 500 Immortal Coins, equating to the value of two or three essences.

One hundred and eight Celestial Spirit essences are equivalent to refining four or fifty Tier Ten Treasures into it.

The pure Celestial Gang Power contained in the Celestial Spirit essence can significantly enhance the foundational depth of the Cyan Cloud Cover, with the essence used to strengthen the Artifact Spirit of the Cyan Cloud Cover.

This is a rare method to enhance the Artifact Spirit without infusing the Power of Law or the Power of Heavenly Dao. The Celestial Spirit Demon-slaying Saber that Su Yu previously purchased was also enhanced using this method.

Of course, it wasn’t using the Celestial Spirit essence, but it was using similar materials to enhance the Artifact Spirit.

With dozens of Tier Ten Treasures merged into one, the quality of the Cyan Cloud Cover visibly improved, and its defense and characteristics continued to increase, including the strength of the Artifact Spirit.

Until he merged all 108 Celestial Spirit essences at once into it, raising the Artifact Spirit strength of the Cyan Cloud Cover to +1.

"That’s ridiculously absurd."

These 108 Celestial Spirit essences barely boosted the Artifact Spirit strength to +1 because the Cyan Cloud Cover had previously integrated considerable Power of Law and Power of Heavenly Dao, accumulating some foundation. Without it, nearly 200 Celestial Spirit essences might be needed to enhance the Artifact Spirit strength to +1.

In other words, it would require almost 200 Celestial Spirit essences to increase the Artifact Spirit strength by 1, and to increase to +10, it would require another 1800.

At the price of 200 Immortal Coins per Celestial Spirit essence, 1800 would cost 360,000 Immortal Coins.

Su Yu thought about how he barely earned this much even with shortcuts, while others earnestly making money might not save enough of this amount even after a thousand years, after deducting other expenditures.

Though it’s insanely costly, reflecting on the upgrading costs of other Immortal Artifacts makes it not seem as exorbitant.

After all, a total of 2000 Celestial Spirit essences would still add up to only 400,000 Immortal Coins.

The previous purchase of the Celestial Spirit Demon-slaying Saber alone cost 150,000 to 180,000, and to fully enhance its Artifact Spirit might take another 100,000 to 200,000. Overall, it surpasses the Cyan Cloud Cover.....

"Well, the Cyan Cloud Cover is still a bit more expensive."

It’s normal, given that the attributes and potential of the Celestial Spirit Demon-slaying Saber can’t compare to the Cyan Cloud Cover.

Moreover, if another 1800 Celestial Spirit essences are merged with the Cyan Cloud Cover, even setting aside the Artifact Spirit enhancement, integrating such a quantity of Celestial Spirit essence can significantly elevate the foundational depth of the Cyan Cloud Cover. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

The foundation upper limit achieved with the original 108 Celestial Spirit essences would barely reach a low-grade Immortal Artifact. Still, fusing another 1800 Celestial Spirit essences could raise the foundation to a middle-grade Immortal Artifact.

In the future, if there’s a chance to acquire some Chaos Essence, various Innate Qi, Xuan Huang Qi, the foundation even elevating to a high-grade Spiritual Treasure is possible.

Reflecting upon it, any investment, no matter how large, is worthwhile.

The fusion completed, the foundational depth enhanced, and the attributes of the Cyan Cloud Cover also improved accordingly.

Cyan Cloud Cover (Tier Ten): A sacred treasure of utmost rarity and a defensive treasure. Activating it envelops it with Innate Qing Qi, providing Cloud Protection, repelling the Five Elements, and rendering it Immune to All Skill.

Attributes: 150 million, 75% damage reduction, 1200 mana conversion rate, +30,000 defense strength, with characteristics: Innate Qing Qi, Immune to All Skill, Immovable as a Mountain, Cloud Protection, scales of the True Dragon.

Innate Qing Qi: Can isolate all postnatal skills.

Immune to All Skill: The power of the Qingyun can isolate all worldly skills.

Immovable as a Mountain: The treasure rests atop the head and will not fall or topple.

Scales of the True Dragon: Grants an additional 15% damage reduction and 30,000 defense strength to the defensive treasure.

Cloud Protection: Activating the Cyan Cloud Cover’s Cloud Protection grants the treasure tenfold defense power, lasting for five minutes, with a 24-hour cooldown.

Artifact Spirit +1: This treasure houses an Artifact Spirit. Once the Artifact Spirit strength reaches +10, it shall manifest and become an Immortal Treasure.

"Not bad, not bad."

Su Yu eagerly reassembled, then left the Immortal City, preparing to return to his sect.

This marks a brief pause in his preparations, mainly because he doesn’t have enough money left, as the remaining Tianyuan Immortal Fruits, aside from those used in Alchemy with the Vast Sea, have been mostly sold off, leaving him with little.

If he wants a substantial amount of Immortal Coins, he will have to wait for the next batch to mature in three years.

A thousand Tianyuan Immortal Fruit trees mature every three years, yielding 36,000 Tianyuan Immortal Fruits, which can sell for 180,000 Immortal Coins.

There’s no rush, as he just formed the Golden Core. Becoming Immortal takes at least a century of accumulation, and taking it slower for two to three hundred years is acceptable. He can afford to wait.

Upon exiting the Xuanqing Immortal City, Su Yu retrieved the Celestial Shuttle and flew towards Xuanqing Mountain.

"He’s coming out."

Somewhere beyond the Xuanqing Immortal City, two figures are hidden in the void, watching Su Yu’s image in the water mirror in front of them.

"Let’s go, and set an ambush ahead."

"Just the two of us? He’s a Supreme Grade Golden Core, after all."

The other person turned back with a look of surprise:

"So what if he’s a Supreme Grade Golden Core? He’s only at the 200th tribulation level, while we are already in the late stage of the Golden Core. Our realm alone can crush him, not to mention it’s a two-on-one sneak attack. What are you afraid of?"

"Uh, I’m just being cautious since such top-tier geniuses can’t be evaluated using common sense."

"Don’t worry, there won’t be any problem."

The voices slowly faded away, as did their figures.

On the Celestial Shuttle, Su Yu was still contemplating his future plans.

"The foundation for the treasure is laid. Next, it’s about slowly accumulating to enhance the Artifact Spirit and advance."

"The Vast Sea is at 290 now. It’s possible to slightly delay the advancement speed and wait for about twenty years to prepare thoroughly before undergoing tribulation."

"Hmm, and the four women affiliated with the Sea-Suppressing Pearl are also nearing tribulation."

Xia Xiaoyue, Yue Qingsi, Yan Qiubai, and Cui Yunxian already had higher levels than Su Yu and have been practicing in the Sea Suppressing Realm. They have already risen to level 195.
