The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife-Chapter 468: Jiang Nuo’s Treasure Hunting Ability (First Update)
Previously, he underestimated the "collection" of the octopus monster, but now, he had to take it seriously.
He could casually produce something like this, so what about the other treasures?
"Do you think the treasures of the world can be picked up at random?" Mu Qiuniang sighed.
Just how naive was her husband? Did he think treasures like these could be found everywhere and picked up by the handful?
But soon, her thoughts were proven wrong by her husband.
Jiang Nuo found several treasures that struck a chord with him and handed them all to Mu Qiuniang to see what they were.
The first one was a jade bracelet completely made of emerald, which, at first glance, seemed nothing special.
But when Mu Qiuniang held it in her hand, a strong aura of immortal energy transmitted through the bracelet, sending a chill down her spine.
"What is this?"
"Isn’t it a bracelet? I think it’s quite beautiful. You can wear it on your hand, wife," Jiang Nuo said while picking and choosing in the room.
His demeanor was like an old man hunting for treasures at a flea market, seemingly casual yet meticulously choosy, picking until he found something pleasing to his eye.
"Inside this bracelet..." Mu Qiuniang checked the bracelet and found it to be ownerless; the Spiritual Recognition on it had long faded, so she infused a trace of Divine Sense into it to explore.
If there was danger, she could just sever this trace of Divine Sense.
This probing left her stunned.
She hurriedly pulled Jiang Nuo over to have him refine it, hoping it could become part of his world.
"Wife, what is this?" Jiang Nuo asked curiously.
"Although I’m not entirely sure what this is, I am quite certain this bracelet is refined from the spiritual soil of an Ancient Divine Artifact. Do you know what spiritual soil is?"
Jiang Nuo was equally stunned: "Wife, are you joking? Spiritual soil, isn’t that the treasure used by Shennong to cultivate Immortal Elixirs after becoming a god?"
Could such legendary things really be picked up easily by him?
"Yes, that’s why I want you to refine it. If this thing exists in your world, things would be twice as effective with half the effort."
Jiang Nuo still found it hard to believe. Did he really just pick this up at random, finding a Black Dragon, not to mention an immortal object like spiritual soil?
After handing him this item, Mu Qiuniang said, "Let me see what else you’ve picked up."
Her husband’s luck was too good; both of the first two items were treasures. What about the rest...
She seemed to have started recognizing the power of "Child of Fortune," and "Child of the Heavenly Dao." This talent for picking up treasures was enviably superb.
Even though he was her husband, she felt a twinge of envy.
Alas... she had been cultivating for hundreds of years; in a few months, he picked up several treasures and caught up with her.
The third was something like a necklace; a white silver chain with a tear-shaped bead hanging from it.
This bead looked just like an ordinary stone, completely black without any luster, painted with a decently shaped white flower, with a layer of transparent coating over it, making it seem somewhat special.
Mu Qiuniang nearly missed it, and after probing with her Divine Sense for a long time, she saw nothing remarkable about it. Then it suddenly dawned on her: seeing nothing could itself be remarkable!
One should know, there were few things in this world capable of blocking her Divine Sense.
Mu Qiuniang didn’t focus on that black stone or the "coating" on its surface.
This probing indeed revealed the "coating" to be unusual; this transparent substance could completely "preserve" the original item?
Such a "preservation" wasn’t like placing something in a fridge or freezer but like causing the item to enter a state of time suspension when enveloped, ceasing all change.
"Vacuum?" Hearing Mu Qiuniang’s description, Jiang Nuo had an idea, "Is it like being in a vacuum, unchanged at all?"
Mu Qiuniang nodded: "Something like that, but I’m not sure what it actually is since I’ve never encountered it before."
"No problem, wife. I’ll keep it safe, and one day we’ll find out what it is."
"Place it in your world then; perhaps the presence of it might somehow aid your world to produce such things in the future."
"That’s a good suggestion, wife!" Jiang Nuo immediately placed the necklace into his world.
Mu Qiuniang took out another wooden box, which, when opened, contained a single seed.
"Hmm? How did I put this thing here? Maybe because I felt this seed was a bit odd. I don’t know how long it’s been stored here, but there’s been no change whatsoever. It doesn’t seem like an ordinary thing, or it wouldn’t need to be preserved in a box like this."
"This wooden box isn’t an ordinary one; the wood is a kind of youth wood with isolating properties, ideal for storing plant seeds. However, such youth wood is incredibly rare, growing only one inch in a hundred years, so it wouldn’t be used for ordinary things."
Therefore, without Mu Qiuniang’s explanation, Jiang Nuo knew this seed was anything but ordinary.
"Though I don’t know what this seed is, smelling its aura, it has some resemblance to Wanlian’s. It might even be a close relative. Once your spiritual soil is refined, try planting it on that."
"Couldn’t we have Wanlian take a look? Maybe it really is a relative."
"Sure."
Jiang Nuo stored it away.
Mu Qiuniang continued to look at other items.
Besides this seed, Jiang Nuo had picked up quite a few others, all somewhat magical, though most not as extraordinary as Mu Wanlian.
For instance, the Honey Lotus, another type of lotus, when in bloom, no bigger than the size of a bowl, but afterward, it secretes a very sweet nectar for extended periods.
This nectar, rich in spiritual energy, is more coveted than Spirit Rice, a beloved item of many a cultivator.
Especially since it also has beautifying effects, female cultivators particularly fancy it.
However, the growth conditions for this Honey Lotus are particularly stringent, needing not just a Spiritual Spring but also spirit bees nearby.
Just as Mu Qiuniang mentioned how good the Honey Lotus was but that without spirit bees it was useless, Jiang Nuo suddenly uncovered a palm-sized bell from a corner.
"Wife, I think there are bees in this bell. Could you check if it’s the one?"
The bell was golden, flawlessly smooth, with a bee head near the top.
Mu Qiuniang looked at it and recognized it as the "Sealing Bell" crafted specifically by cultivators to transport spirit bees.
"Your luck is really something!" It seemed as if the heavens had prepared it just for him to collect.
Jiang Nuo chuckled: "Wife, you said it yourself; I’m a Child of Fortune, so having a bit of luck is expected. Wife, now that I have this, can the Honey Lotus be planted in my world?"
Mu Qiuniang nodded: "Yes!"
"Great, once the Honey Lotus blooms, wife, you can enjoy it every day!"
