Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 379 The Du Family's Secret Treasury, it's open?! It's open!

"As expected, it didn't work... Dao Fruit didn't give me a chance to exploit the bug."

Liu Sheng got up from the Dragon Transformation Pool, looked at the waist-deep water, and sighed.

He had previously summoned the Xuan Shui Qing Qiu to extract dragon essence and blood, finally causing the dried-up Dragon Transformation Pool to regenerate water, and the amount of water was much greater than before.

The price is 20,000 spirit points.

not bad.

However, he originally wanted to take advantage of the situation and break through to the Yellow Court level in his cultivation. In that case, he could continue to deduce and upgrade the Tongbi Demon Ape or the Xuan Shui Qing Qiu.

Thus, they possess truly top-tier, profound combat power...

As it turned out, the plan backfired.

However, it's understandable. If it could be done that way, it would be like stepping on the right foot with the left foot, and then stepping on the left foot with the right foot, creating a perpetual motion machine that spirals upwards.

It's just unknown whether this newly generated Dragon Transformation Water will be effective on others.

"Excellent! Excellent! Very good!"

Du Renwang beamed with joy, spun around on the spot, and showed no trace of the demeanor of an ancestor.

He waved his hand, signaling Du Xingheng to take the two newly-broken-through-the-stage Du clan members away, then turned to look at Liu Sheng, his eyes flashing with a sharp light:

"Brother Liu, how about we make a deal..."

Liu Sheng saw through his intentions at a glance, and a troubled look appeared on his face:
"Brother Du, you don't think that dragon essence and dragon blood are very common, do you?"

"Uh……"

"In the Heavenly Palace of Qingyuan Cave, I was fortunate enough to pass the test first and received a reward from the immortals. There happened to be a bottle of dragon blood and dragon essence inside, which I had previously poured into the Dragon Transformation Pool..."

Without blinking, Liu Sheng uttered the prepared excuse with a sincere expression.

Everything should be done in moderation.

He helped create this pool of dragon-transforming water, more than the Du family had prepared themselves, enough to advance their plan to counter the Gongsun family.

Any more than that would be excessive and could even cause unnecessary trouble.

Human nature can never withstand the test.

Therefore, do not give others any opportunity to test their humanity.

"Yes, the number of dragons is already small. It was by chance that I encountered a young dragon that had just emerged from the spiritual source..."

Du Renwang nodded, clearly believing Liu Sheng's explanation.

He had firsthand experience; over the years, the Du family had searched for the whereabouts of other dragons, but apart from some creatures with dragon bloodlines, such as jiao, tuo, and shen, they had not found a single true dragon.

"Unfortunately, the Dragon Transformation Pool's effects only apply to the first soak, otherwise Bingyan could have improved even further..."

Seeing that Liu Sheng seemed somewhat distracted, Du Renwang couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly and explained the reason.

That’s what happened!
So, it seems that Bingyan's wife was also dragged down by me.

If I hadn't drained the water from the Dragon Transformation Pool, with her physique, she probably could have opened the Small Heavenly Circuit in one step and directly achieved the Great Perfection of the Yellow Court.

Instead of the current situation, where one has just begun to understand the Huangting teachings.

They're two minor realms apart!

It seems we can only try to make up for this shortcoming later.

Liu Sheng nodded, his eyes suddenly brightening like two large lamps as he stared at Du Renwang:
"Brother Du, that secret vault..."

"Since I have some time, I'll take you there now."

Du Renwang chuckled, unleashing a burst of true energy that swept up Liu Sheng and the other two, sending them flying towards the outside of the Dragon-Binding Hall.

"In a little while, the great battle will begin..."

During the two days that Liu Sheng was in seclusion in the Dragon Binding Hall, the situation outside also underwent tremendous changes.

The Gongsun clan, the most powerful family in Youzhou, formally declared war on the four families of Du, Wang, Chen, and Tian, ​​citing the murder of their eldest son, Gongsun Yu.

The first to respond to the Gongsun family were three prominent clans and two martial arts sects, who mobilized all their elites to assist them.

However, both sides are currently in the stage of gathering forces and consolidating their strength, conducting reconnaissance and intelligence gathering, and engaging in small-scale probing and conflicts.

Other forces in the state are still observing and wavering. These clans and sects, which have existed for hundreds of years, are experienced and cunning. They will not easily make a move unless they are forced into a corner.

They will only take action when the outcome is clear or at a crucial moment.

The situation isn't too bad.

However, these are not things that Liu Sheng needs to worry about, since the Du family has far more experience in this area than he does.

Moreover, he has already given enough; the extra Dragon Transformation Water alone will allow the four families to have dozens more Yellow Court cultivators than originally planned.

At crucial moments, this can be a force capable of changing the course of a battle.

In the future, at most, out of respect for Du Bingyan, I'll secretly lend a little more effort to help kill a few powerful demons.

While he's at it, he'll refine his essence and create several more avatars.

After all, his cultivation has progressed from the initial stage of the Dao to the current stage of perfect cultivation, spanning three minor realms.

The body has enough "capacity" to accommodate three more incarnations.

In this way, one can have a total of thirteen incarnations.

Moreover, he planned to use the best resources wisely, refining the essence of great demons or ancestral demons for all three spots.

He did not intend to save the quota until he broke through to the Yellow Court Realm. After all, the current situation was critical, and it was necessary to convert it into combat power as soon as possible in case of unexpected events.

On this point, it's likely that the Du family would be willing to provide sufficient intelligence.

The Du Family Treasury is located deep within the mountain, accessible via a winding passageway that extends underground.

Like the entrance to the Dragon Binding Palace, it was also guarded by the old demon-level snake-turtle outside the waterfall.

Led by Du Renwang, the three of them navigated through seven mechanisms and three verification points, descending several hundred feet before finally arriving at the secret vault.

This maze-like tunnel was so difficult to find that without Du Renwang's guidance, no one else would have been able to find it in a short time.

"I wonder if I can use my 'Earth Spirit' talent to burrow underground and infiltrate..."

Liu Sheng's eyes flickered as he secretly plotted something. He glanced at Du Renwang subtly and gave a slight purse of his lips.

That's so stingy! We're all family, and they only let us choose three treasures.

Fortunately, the treasures were just a side thing; what he really cared about were the spiritual energy values ​​attached to the ancient artifacts and treasures in the secret vault.

Soon, Du Renwang activated the magic array on the vault door and opened it. In an instant, all sorts of dazzling lights appeared, almost blindingly bright.

The light and mist surged, flowing out of the warehouse like water, accompanied by an ancient aura that had been condensed over the years, slowly spreading out.

Du Renwang stepped forward and quickly performed some actions, whispering a few incantations before turning to look at Liu Sheng:
"You have one hour to make your choice. Once the time is up, the treasure will be automatically delivered from the vault, or it will be automatically delivered once you have collected three treasures."

Isn't this... artificial intelligence?

Liu Sheng mentally grumbled, signaled Du Bingyan to calm down, and then entered the secret vault.

In an instant, lines of text with light and shadow appeared on the panel—

[Gained 187 Spiritual Essence]

[Gained 202 Spiritual Essence]

[Gained 198 Spiritual Essence]

[Gained 195 Spiritual Essence]

...

He casually strolled around and gained nearly a thousand spirit points!
He stepped forward and casually touched a short sword that emitted a bluish light; a line of ink-wash characters appeared before his eyes—

[Gained 723 Spiritual Essence]

Looking around, the secret vault wasn't very large, about the size of two basketball courts, with several rows of stone shelves filled with various items.

Each piece, though ancient in style, shone with a brilliant light, clearly indicating that they were not ordinary objects.

Thousands of them!

This time it really worked!
