Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards-Chapter 292 - 177: White Dragon Tripod

A stream of mana surged from the hand grasping the tripod lid, attempting to lift it with the power of mana. After all, at present, Qi Chuan’s mana cultivation was still stronger than his physical body realm.

Whoosh~

However, as Qi Chuan’s mana came into contact with the White Tripod, a surge of pure Spiritual Qi suddenly erupted from the mouth of the azure dragon pattern on the tripod’s surface.

Qi Chuan was initially startled by this.

But he quickly realized that this pure Spiritual Qi was ownerless and extremely abundant, reaching the concentration of a Tier Two Top Grade Spirit Vein, and could be directly used for cultivation.

"Could this be the effect of this White Tripod, spontaneously releasing pure Spiritual Qi?" Qi Chuan pondered internally.

Although this Spiritual Qi was already very pure, to prevent any accidents, Qi Chuan still joined his hands in a void grip, constantly channeling his own mana through his palms to firmly trap this pure Spiritual Qi outside his body, refining it with mana.

As a result, after more than half an hour, this Spiritual Qi became even purer and began to transform into Qi Chuan’s mana without any other abnormal occurrences.

Seeing this, Qi Chuan’s heart finally settled.

He then absorbed this pure Spiritual Qi into his body, operating the sixth layer of the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique, guiding it through several Grand Circulations within his meridians. Once it was refined to the utmost limit, he stored it in his Dantian, transforming it into a thread of his own liquid mana, merging it with a partially formed droplet of liquid mana.

"Truly no accidents? Could the White Tripod really be so effective... But what exactly is inside the cauldron inner space to have such efficacy?"

Internally, Qi Chuan felt both delighted and puzzled with curiosity.

The delight naturally stemmed from the excellent effects the surface of the White Tripod displayed.

It could substitute for a Spirit Vein or Cave Mansion, providing for his cultivation, allowing him to maintain a good cultivation speed even in areas where Spiritual Qi was not dense, unaffected by the reduction in Spiritual Qi concentration.

The puzzlement and curiosity arose from not knowing what was inside the tripod, which possessed such pure Spiritual Qi.

"Forget it, since it’s an ownerless Magical Treasure and seems to pose no danger for now, I might as well store it in the Qiankun Bag for the moment."

Qi Chuan was not yet at the Core Formation Realm; even if he acquired a Magical Treasure, under normal circumstances, he couldn’t use it, nor could he store it inside his body. Generally, only a Lifebound Treasure could be stored within after reaching the Core Formation Realm.

At present, Qi Chuan had not truly used it.

He couldn’t open the tripod lid nor wield this White Tripod in magical combat.

He could only store it in the Qiankun Bag.

However, just as Qi Chuan intended to store the White Tripod into the Qiankun Bag, a line of text suddenly appeared before his eyes.

[You triggered a tenfold critical strike by utilizing the White Dragon Tripod to provide pure Spiritual Qi and operating the sixth layer of the Profound Celestial Spirit Devouring Sword Technique through several Grand Circulations, thereby obtaining tenfold gains, slightly enhancing your total mana.]

Simultaneously, the newly cultivated thread of liquid mana within Qi Chuan’s Dantian was instantly multiplied tenfold.

"Hmm?"

Seeing this line of text, Qi Chuan’s eyes revealed a hint of peculiarity, as if he had discovered something unexpected.

It wasn’t due to the refining of Spiritual Qi triggering a hundredfold critical strike, as Qi Chuan’s usual cultivation would always trigger the Golden Finger, a matter of routine for him.

Instead, it was because this line of text shown by the Golden Finger included the information with the words ’White Dragon Tripod’.

"So, this tripod is actually called the White Dragon Tripod?"

Qi Chuan mused internally.

Having accidentally acquired this White Tripod Magical Treasure, Qi Chuan naturally didn’t know its name and was considering whether to name it himself.

Now that the Golden Finger had revealed its original name, it spared him the need to name it.

Moreover, since it was displayed by the Golden Finger, it must be accurate and even more precise.

"Furthermore... More importantly, from the information revealed by the text displayed by the Golden Finger, using the White Dragon Tripod for cultivation poses no issues, and I didn’t experience any debuffs..."

Qi Chuan took a deep breath of relief, feeling greatly at ease.

Truthfully, hastily using the Spiritual Qi provided by an unknown Magical Treasure could lead to potential worries.

However, the text revealed by the Golden Finger made him completely shed such worries.

So, there should be no problem with this White Dragon Tripod.

At this stage, it could only be used to support cultivation.

As for what exactly was inside the tripod, for now, Qi Chuan couldn’t know; perhaps he would have to wait until he became a Core Formation True Master, or even at a higher realm, to open the tripod lid and see for himself.

"No matter what, the gains from this trip to Great Wilderness County are quite decent, and it’s time to leave..."

Qi Chuan mused internally.

He then flew around the cave space once, scanning it with both his gaze and Divine Sense, finding no abnormalities, before his body floated upwards towards the top of the cave.

Upon emerging from the sand and appearing again in Sand Valley, he noticed that the scene here was unchanged from before.

The anticipated scenario of being discovered and immediately pursued after obtaining a treasure did not occur.

Taking a look around Sand Valley, Qi Chuan then transformed into an Escape Light and flew away from Sand Valley.

He planned to leave Great Wilderness County by heading in the direction away from the Luoxia Sect.

All the while, he kept scanning with his Divine Sense to see if he could discover anything.

Yet, aside from finding some Tier One Top Grade spirit grass materials and Tier Two Lower Grade spirit grass materials, he found nothing more.

No higher tier spirit grass materials or any further discoveries of magical artifacts.

Calmly and safely, he left Great Wilderness County.

Upon leaving Great Wilderness County, he remained within Qian Country, one of Qian Country’s twelve counties, Dayan County.

Dayan County was the territory of the Fiery Sun Sect, one of the Three Sects of Qian Country.

This was a sect equivalent in level to the Luoxia Sect.

However, in Qi Chuan’s eyes, it still held nothing special, just a Foundation Establishment influence.

If Qi Chuan wished, with his Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivation and Foundation Establishment Perfection magical combat power, he could easily join any sect like the Fiery Sun Sect and become a Supreme Elder, with the sect being more than willing.

"Qian Country is still too small."

Qi Chuan shook his head.

After spending a few days gathering information in Dayan County, Qi Chuan had fully grasped the layout of Qian Country.

Among Qian Country’s twelve counties, except for Great Wilderness County being a bit special, the remaining eleven counties, even the Capital City, where the Royal Liu Family resided, the Daqian County, held nothing particularly noteworthy.

There was just a Tier Two Middle Grade Spirit Vein underground within the Imperial Palace.

Even the Tier Two Middle Grade Spirit Vein no longer held much allure for Qi Chuan.

Previously, Qi Chuan might have wanted to encounter a Tier Two Top Grade Spirit Vein.

But that was before. Now, with the White Dragon Tripod providing pure Spiritual Qi for his cultivation, he no longer needed a Tier Two Top Grade Spirit Vein.

"Why not venture into the Three Nascent Soul Sect Domains!"

Qi Chuan internally proposed.

Cangjian Pavilion, Yin Yang Mansion, and Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, these three Nascent Soul Major Sects, not only housed living Nascent Soul True Monarchs but also housed multiple Core Formation True Masters within each sect.

These sects probably had methods to increase the probability of Core Formation, and possibly... methods to achieve Nascent Soul!

Currently, Nascent Soul was too far a goal for Qi Chuan, but he could prepare for the future.

However, the bottleneck of Core Formation was an imminent issue.

Given his Golden Finger and Celestial Spirit Gang Qi, Qi Chuan was not in a hurry, could gradually cultivate, and eventually stabilize his breakthrough into the Core Formation realm.

Yet, Qi Chuan could not disregard the crisis of the Wind Moon Sect.

His master Situ Jiang likely achieved Fake Pill and was struggling to fend off the Celestial Soul Hall’s threat.

Therefore, the Core Formation progress couldn’t be delayed. Since the Three Nascent Soul Sects offered Core Formation techniques, Qi Chuan had every reason to visit them.
