Incredible Sect Simulator-Chapter 491 - 459th - : Celestial Fragrance and Brocade Immortal Species
After investigating the cultivation techniques, elixirs, magical artifacts, and spirit stones, Lu Ping’s attention was drawn to some other items.
Among them was something from a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Dubhe Institute.
It was a parchment map.
On it, in black ink, detailed techniques were used to describe the topographical features of a region, with the words "Southern Wilderness" marked.
This was a map of a corner of the Southern Wilderness.
The appearance of this map attracted Lu Ping’s attention.
Generally speaking, cultivators have excellent memory, and even when drawing maps, they usually don’t draw maps of such small areas.
Moreover, on this map, there were circles and dots marked, clearly indicating important positions or even text suggestions.
"It looks like a treasure hunting map marking something important."
Lu Yuanshan examined the map closely, pointing to a location prominently encircled in red.
This red-circled area, judging by its terrain, was a swamp.
Beside this red circle, there was a slightly rough piece of writing.
"Celestial Fragrance and Brocade Immortal Species, remaining maturity period of three to four years."
"One early-stage Crystallization Stage demon beast..."
Although the writing was rough, its content was still discernible.
Clearly, this text indicated that the area marked by the red circle contained a spirit medicine treasure known as the Celestial Fragrance and Brocade Immortal Species.
This spirit medicine still had three to four years left before it matured.
In addition, there might be a Tier Three demon beast nearby.
"Celestial Fragrance and Brocade Immortal Species, what is that?"
Lu Yuanshan was also focused on the map and inquired.
"I don’t know either."
Lu Zhiwei shook her head gently, also seeing this name for the first time.
"Celestial Fragrance and Brocade Immortal Species is a Tier Five spirit medicine."
Lu Ping slowly spoke, associating the name of the Celestial Fragrance and Brocade Immortal Species with its function.
"Consuming it can allow a Crystallization Stage great cultivator to advance one to two small realms."
"It can raise a Crystallization Cultivator by one or two small realms!"
Upon learning the effect of the Celestial Fragrance and Brocade Immortal Species, Lu Yuanshan’s expression shifted to one of astonishment.
This kind of Heaven and Earth’s wondrous treasure is extremely rare; for Crystallization Stage cultivators, advancing one or two small realms could save twenty to thirty years of hard cultivation.
And a spirit medicine like the Celestial Fragrance and Brocade Immortal Species, if sold on the market, would surely be priced above five hundred thousand spirit stones.
"Father, little sister, this time we’ve found a treasure!"
Lu Yuanshan showed an excited expression.
Lu Zhiwei nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on her lips. She was very interested in this Celestial Fragrance and Brocade Immortal Species and wanted to bring it back to the Cyan Mountain Sect.
"While the item is good, don’t be too happy too soon."
Lu Ping’s voice rang out.
He pointed to the text next to the red circle on the map, which described "one early-stage Crystallization Stage demon beast..."
Oh, right, I forgot that at this time, even pointing wouldn’t allow Yuanshan and Zhiwei to see Lu Ping.
"Look at this piece of writing, indicating that there might be a Crystallization Stage demon beast there. This Celestial Fragrance and Brocade Immortal Species won’t be easy to acquire."
Typically, when spirit medicine and spirit plants reach Tier Two, they attract demon beasts that covet them and want to claim them as their own.
This is why many of Heaven and Earth’s wondrous treasures are guarded by powerful demon beasts, waiting for the spirit medicine and spirit plants to mature.
If Tier Two spirit medicine and plants are like this, then needless to say, a Tier Five Celestial Fragrance and Brocade Immortal Species would be even more so.
If the map’s owner wasn’t of limited strength, still in the Foundation Establishment Stage, why would they bother to draw such a map instead of claiming the Celestial Fragrance and Brocade Immortal Species for themselves?
How else would Yuanshan and the others get this opportunity?
"Father is right. If there is indeed a Tier Three demon beast guarding the Celestial Fragrance and Brocade Immortal Species, even if my sister and I join forces, we wouldn’t stand a chance against a Tier Three demon beast."
Lu Yuanshan laughed wryly, then changed the tone: "But if you were to take action, father..."
Before Lu Yuanshan could finish, Lu Ping interrupted.
"I know what you want to say, but such opportunities with spirit medicine are for the capable to seize, requiring your hard work to strive for them."
"The means that allow you to rapidly reach the Crystallization Stage are not something I can casually deploy."
Lu Ping’s tone was very calm.
If I could act recklessly, I would just go and pick that Celestial Fragrance and Brocade Immortal Species now; not even a Tier Four demon beast could stop me.
However, if I were to take action, it’s not impossible—I need to refresh "Three-star - Endurance Enhancement" in the System Mall again.
The prerequisite is, the Reputation Points must be sufficient.
Hearing Lu Ping’s words, Lu Yuanshan couldn’t help but smile wryly, having anticipated Lu Ping’s response.
Recalling past opportunities like the Celestial Cyan Divine Wood and cave mansion explorations, weren’t all of them achieved by following father’s guidance and leading disciples step by step to obtain such fortunes?
"Unless you experience a life and death crisis that cannot be resolved, I won’t personally intervene in the short term."
"If you want to seize this opportunity, Yuanshan, you could strive to achieve Crystallization Stage soon; perhaps then, you would have a great chance."
Lu Yuanshan nodded silently, understanding that if he acquired the Celestial Fragrance and Brocade Immortal Species, it would be of great use once he eventually reached the Crystallization Stage.
Directly advancing from one layer to two layers of the Crystallization Stage would mean saving twenty to thirty years of cultivation compared to the same-tier cultivators.
As for the authenticity of this map, that would need verification.
With Lu Ping around, verifying its authenticity wouldn’t be an issue at all.
"I will go explore that area myself," Lu Ping said. "The map is just a map, after all. Who knows when it was drawn, and how long it’s been since then? It’s better to check the situation over there."
In the state of a consciousness body, Lu Ping could move freely and appear anywhere without worry.
For Lu Ping, the Southern Wilderness forest was like his own backyard, where he could freely come and go, wandering at will.
As for the swamp area marked on the map and the beast guarding the Celestial Fragrance and Brocade Immortal Species, it remained to be seen what strength level they had reached by now.
Whether the Celestial Fragrance and Brocade Immortal Species was still there, all needed careful investigation.
After informing Lu Yuanshan and Lu Zhiwei, Lu Ping glanced at the map a few more times, memorizing its entirety in his mind, and then set off.
Controlling his consciousness body, Lu Ping slowly drifted towards the area in the Southern Wilderness forest.
The location recorded on the map was already near the central area of the Southern Wilderness forest.
The specific location was a natural swamp covering over four hundred acres.
Along the way, there was no obstruction, and Lu Ping often saw teams and cultivators engaged in fierce battles with demon beasts.
A myriad of magical artifacts, flying swords, talismans, and divine techniques emerged endlessly, each demonstrating their own abilities.
