But even the most basic Dharma Treasure materials were still Dharma Treasure materials, the value of which was extraordinary.
Yet now, Zhou Chun had discovered a large amount of Fourth-Grade Spirit Wood, of various species no less, in that person’s Storage Pouch!
At this moment, seeing these Fourth-Grade Spirit Woods and considering that the man had appeared through a Teleportation Formation at the bottom of Muli Lake, Zhou Chun couldn’t help but surmise,
“Could it be that the emergence of the seven-colored clouds was due to some phenomenon produced by the coming of an Ancient Ruins?”
If that were indeed the case, it would all make sense.
After all, within the Ancient Ruins, the Spiritual Energy was dense, and having never been harvested by Cultivators, it was entirely possible for the trees to evolve into Fourth-Grade Spirit Wood over years and years.
Each time the Cultivation World discovered such Ancient Ruins, they would yield a large amount of Fourth-Grade Spirit Wood, and even Fifth-Grade Spirit Wood!
At this thought, Zhou Chun immediately turned his gaze toward those Jade Boxes, his eyes suddenly burning with eagerness.
He couldn’t wait to pick up a Jade Box and open it, only to find inside five three-foot-long purple Spirit Grasses, their leaves resembling bamboo leaves but slightly longer, with a tassel growing from the tip of the stem, bearing fruit that resembled bamboo shoots.
The fruit, like purple crystal, shone with a translucent clarity, containing pure Spiritual Power.
“Seven-Leaf Purple Bamboo Grass, flowering once every millennium, with ‘Amethyst Bamboo Rice’ as its fruit, a delicacy only Nascent Soul True Persons can enjoy, which, when consumed over time, can enhance one’s Cultivation Level and prolong life…”
Zhou Chun, looking at the purple Spirit Grass in the Jade Box, could not but murmur to himself as he identified its nature.
This was not technically a millennium-aged Spiritual Medicine, but its value surpassed that of ordinary millennium-aged Spiritual Medicines.
For it was the kind of gift that even a Nascent Soul Stage True Person would be pleased to accept.
Whereas ordinary millennium-aged Spiritual Medicines wouldn’t even garner a glance from a Nascent Soul Stage True Person.
As far as Zhou Chun knew, only those powerhouses with unbroken lineages in the Cultivation World would cultivate this Spirit Grass in one of their own consecrated lands where the Spiritual Energy was abundant, as sustenance for the Nascent Soul Stage elders of their sect.
But even Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators couldn’t have the luxury of consuming “Amethyst Bamboo Rice” every day.
The discovery of these “Amethyst Bamboo Rice” undoubtedly confirmed Zhou Chun’s conjecture.
The Cultivator he had killed had indeed teleported from some Ancient Ruins.
Subsequently, Zhou Chun opened the other Jade Boxes with an excited heart.
As expected, the contents of these boxes were either millennium-aged Spiritual Medicines or items of equivalent value.
Among them, there were thirty-three stalks of “Amethyst Bamboo Rice,” taking up seven Jade Boxes.
In addition, there were nineteen millennium-aged Spiritual Medicines, including five Treasure Medicines that were over three thousand years old.
Such Treasure Medicines were the main ingredients for concocting Elixirs that enhance Mana for Golden Core Stage Cultivators and also for certain powerful specialized Spirit Pills.
They were rarely seen at auctions because the owners typically only traded them for other scarce items they needed, rather than placing a Spirit Coin value on them.
When Zhou Chun previously exchanged insights with Luo Qingni, she had mentioned that Alchemy Masters and Refinement Masters of the Tianyuan Immortal City would hold an exchange meeting every few years to trade items they required.
These exchange meetings were invitation-only, where each Alchemy Master or Refinement Master could invite some friends to join.
However, they had to ensure that their invitees could bring items valuable enough to warrant participation in the exchange, making the entry barrier quite high.
Aside from millennium-aged Spiritual Medicines and Treasure Medicines, Zhou Chun found three items in the Jade Boxes whose value was difficult to gauge.
One Jade Box contained seven Spirit Fruits the size of chicken eggs, resembling oranges with a pure green color but dotted with purple spots, exuding a rich and pure Spiritual Power.
Zhou Chun did not recognize this type of Spirit Fruit, but judging by its emanation of pure Spiritual Power, it was certainly far rarer than the “Foundation Establishment Fruit.”
The second Jade Box held a root section less than two feet long, as thick as a wrist, red-purple in color, and radiating an aura of vigorous life force and Spiritual Power.
When Zhou Chun opened the Jade Box, the Wood Charm inside his Spirit Beast Pouch seemed to sense something and communicated a powerful longing to him.
For the time being, Zhou Chun could only soothe it, not agreeing to anything rashly.
“`
Because Zhou Chun suspected that this might be the root of a Fifth-Order Spirit Wood, but as for which specific Fifth-Order Spirit Wood it belonged to, he was temporarily unable to identify.
The third jade box contained a segment of emerald green wood core, which wasn’t a normal wood core, but the Spirit Wood Core condensed from some Fourth-Order Spirit Wood.
This segment of wood core was about five feet long, cylindrical in shape, with a diameter of one foot and three inches, and its entire body was as green as beautiful jade, containing extremely pure spiritual power of wood.
The Wood Charm had no particular reaction to this item, seemingly gaining no great benefit from it.
But Zhou Chun knew that this item was a material for a Dharma Treasure of immense value.
If ordinary Fourth-Order Spirit Wood was considered the most basic material for Dharma Treasure crafting, then this type of Spirit Wood Core was the highest quality material for Dharma Treasure crafting, and something Wood-attribute Cultivation Technique practitioners most desired for refining their Lifebound Dharma Treasures.
“Luo Qingni should be in closed-door Core Formation now, if I wait for her success and then present this as a congratulatory gift, she should be very pleased, right?”
Zhou Chun, observing the Spirit Wood Core before him, immediately had ideas for its use.
No one in the Zhou Family could use this item, so instead of exchanging it for Spirit Coins, it would be better to give it to a Golden Core Stage Cultivator in need of a favor.
Once Luo Qingni reached Core Formation, her favor would be extremely valuable.
Not to mention, the next time Zhou Chun and the Zhou Family sought her for Alchemy, she would surely give them priority treatment.
Apart from these Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Wood, there were also many broken weapons and Puppet Fragments on the ground.
These items were all made from the rare Spirit Gold Ore and, if a Refinement Master handled and smelted them, could extract quite a bit of precious Spirit Gold, so they were also of considerable value.
However, those Spirit Medicines with less than a thousand years of medicinal age had lost much of their Spiritual Power since they weren’t sealed in jade boxes, significantly reducing their medicinal efficacy, which was a pity.
By the time he had finished inventorying the many treasures, Zhou Chun felt very satisfied and content with his haul.
Although he hadn’t ventured into the Ancient Ruins himself, he nonetheless benefited indirectly from them.
But then, Zhou Chun suddenly seemed to have discovered something and couldn’t help exclaiming in a low voice, “That’s not right, why aren’t there other treasures? Since this person came through a Teleportation Formation, he should have entered somewhere important within the Ancient Ruins!”
Even in Ancient Times, Teleportation Formations were not common like cabbages, to be found just anywhere.
The fact that this person could come to the bottom of Muli Lake through a Teleportation Formation suggested that he should have entered some significant place within the Ancient Ruins!
Zhou Chun’s eyes flickered with speculation and quickly came up with two guesses.
Either the Teleportation Formation was simply a short-distance one for traveling between two places, and the ruins at the bottom of Muli Lake weren’t very far from that Ancient Ruins site, which was quite possible.
And such a Teleportation Formation indeed wouldn’t be set up in any significant location.
Or the person he had killed was merely a scout sent by the elders of his sect, and all the treasures around the Teleportation Formation inside the Ancient Ruins had been taken by the elders of his sect.
This possibility was not small; if Zhou Chun were in the same position, facing an unknown Teleportation Formation, he would not easily transmit himself through it either.
Regardless of which possibility it was, it seemed irrelevant to him now.
With that thought, Zhou Chun stopped troubling himself over the matter.
He spent some time collecting all the items into his Storage Pouch, including the Storage Pouch of the deceased cultivator.
With everything packed up, Zhou Chun started his journey and embarked on his return to the Great Zhou Kingdom.
He followed the same route he took on the way there, only changing from flying to walking in the first phase.
Walking was slow, but it had the advantage of being stealthy and not attracting attention.
Especially the Golden Core Stage Cultivators and Great Mages, who would fly high in the sky when rushing on their way, often didn’t pay any attention to the people and animals on the ground.
Thus, Zhou Chun spent almost a month on foot, traversing over seven thousand miles across the most dangerous part of the journey.
Only after leaving the perilous area did he take to the skies to fly, and finally arrived back within the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom a month and a half after he set off.
It was not long after returning to the Great Zhou Kingdom when Zhou Chun learned of the emergence of the Ancient Ruins and the widespread rumors that were flying everywhere.
