Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

Jiang Chuan weighed the options in his mind. According to what the other party said, the first two methods of identification had too many variables.

He didn't want to be targeted by someone the moment he finished the appraisal.

Trust this person just this once.

At least the situation is still under their control.

He nodded slightly and said simply, "Then I'll trouble you, fellow Daoist."

With a deft wave of his hand, the man sent seven or eight array flags flying out from his sleeves, silently embedding themselves into the surrounding ground.

A pale blue light barrier rose up and enveloped the two of them.

Without further hesitation, Jiang Chuan took out the bronze box from his backpack.

The box fell to the ground.

It emitted a dull thud.

The mysterious patterns on the surface shimmered with a faint, dark purple glow under the light. A barely audible rumble of thunder echoed in the air, and a few tiny arcs of electricity leaped out from the cracks in the box, crackling briefly before disappearing again.

The man's gaze lingered on the box for a moment.

He didn't say much, but simply lifted the dark bronze mirror in his palm, made a hand seal with his other hand, and gently touched the edge of the mirror with his fingertip.

hum!

The dark, somber color on the surface of the bronze mirror suddenly faded, and the entire mirror became as clear as crystal.

A warm, pale golden beam of light shot out from the center of the mirror and landed directly on the Purple Lightning Mountain-Suppressing Box.

The beam of light penetrated the box, and the box walls gradually became transparent under the reflection of the mirror light.

The treasure that was sealed inside was revealed.

A bead, entirely blue, floats in the box, like a drop of frozen seawater.

The surface of the bead is covered with layers of water-like shimmering light. Each time the light flickers, it creates a faint ripple in the air.

Even through the box walls and array, the dense, heart-palpitating water-based spiritual energy still rushed towards them.

It is indeed: the mysterious pearl of the vast ocean.

Jiang Chuan already knew that this item was a high-grade spiritual treasure.

Seeing it with my own eyes now, my heart still warmed slightly.

Including this Azure Sea Pearl.

He now possessed three top-grade spiritual treasures.

One high-grade spiritual treasure can elevate his combat power to a new level; three treasures would be a qualitative leap!

The man stared at the pearl in the mirror, but remained silent for a long time.

He observed for a long time.

He hesitated before saying, "Fellow Daoist, this treasure of yours... is probably not that simple."

Jiang Chuan's gaze sharpened slightly: "What do you mean by that?"

The man said with some uncertainty, "This treasure is not complete; its quality is flawed. But the flaws don't seem to be caused by external damage... rather, they seem more like injuries from a drop in cultivation level!"

"A drop in cultivation level?"

Jiang Chuan repeated the three words, his heart suddenly skipping a beat.

The man nodded, then looked up and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this Azure Sea Mystic Pearl is no ordinary high-grade spiritual treasure; it was originally... a true treasure!"

A real gem!

Jiang Chuan's breathing suddenly became heavy; he naturally knew what the real treasure was.

Above the magic treasure is the spiritual treasure, and above the spiritual treasure is the true treasure.

The so-called true treasure.

That is a treasure that a Foundation Establishment cultivator can only refine after a hundred years of nurturing!

Such beings possess sentience and can choose their own masters.

A single strike can shake the heavens and the earth!

The entire Yuanling Mountain.

I'm afraid only that Foundation Establishment stage mountain lord could possess a true treasure!

And this Azure Sea Mystic Pearl was once a true treasure?

Jiang Chuan felt his breathing was a little fast.

The man said with some envy, "Fellow Daoist, the spiritual energy in this treasure box is extremely effective in nourishing artifacts. It has already restored most of the quality of this true treasure. Given time, it's not impossible for it to regain its former glory!"

He sighed, "Fortunately, fellow Daoist did not rashly take out this treasure, otherwise..."

He didn't continue speaking.

But the meaning I wanted to express was already quite clear.

A treasure can only be nurtured once by the Purple Lightning Mountain-Suppressing Box. If he takes out the Azure Sea Mystic Pearl in advance, this true treasure will forever lose the hope of returning to its peak.

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but ask, "How long will it take for this thing to be fully nurtured?"

The man pondered for a while before saying, "The Dao damage to this treasure is too severe. In my estimation, it will take at least thirty years, and at most fifty years, for the treasure in the box to recover to a usable state."

Thirty to fifty years?

Jiang Chuan's noodles twitched, forcing him to swallow the swear words that were about to come out.

Damn it,

By the time he was old enough to be used, the opportunity had completely passed!

but.

True treasures are inherently an awkward existence for Qi Refining cultivators.

Even if something that only a Foundation Establishment cultivator is qualified to control is placed perfectly in front of him, with his current Qi Refining cultivation level, activating it once would probably drain his entire immortal foundation.

So even if it were to return to its original state now.

He doesn't need it either.

Thinking about it that way...

The frustration in Jiang Chuan's heart dissipated somewhat.

Whether it takes thirty years or fifty years, by the time he can gather enough opportunities to establish his foundation, this Azure Sea Pearl might have already healed its injuries.

By then, he will have a genuine treasure with him when he enters the Foundation Establishment stage, giving him a significant advantage over other cultivators of the same level from the start.

Ok……

Upon further reflection...

It can be considered a long-term investment.

Jiang Chuan put away the Purple Lightning Mountain-Suppressing Box, and solemnly clasped his hands in thanks to the man, saying, "Thank you, fellow Daoist."

"It's alright."

The man laughed heartily: "To be able to glimpse the mysteries of a true treasure through your help is a great blessing for a weapon refiner like me. In truth, I should be thanking you."

After saying that, he pushed a communication jade talisman in front of him, saying that if there were any transactions related to weapon crafting in the future, they could contact each other again.

Jiang Chuan accepted the jade talisman.

Not long after.

The market was also coming to an end.

People began to leave one after another. Jiang Chuan pulled up the hood of his cloak and turned to walk towards the valley entrance.

The night wind swept into the valley, and the swirling mist swallowed his figure, also keeping out the faint, lurking gazes behind him.

……

They watched as the figure disappeared into the swirling fog.

Tie Xuan slowly withdrew his gaze.

He lowered his eyelids, carefully concealing the burning passion surging deep within his eyes.

Don't be in a hurry!

He kept reminding himself of this.

Just a moment ago, he almost couldn't suppress the surging greed in his heart.

What he told Jiang Chuan was indeed the truth.

However, they concealed an important piece of information.

The true treasure has fallen from its realm.

There is only one possibility.

That is, the Foundation Establishment True Person who was connected with him by life and death has perished!

Before his demise, that true master went to great lengths to find a treasure to nurture, and hid his natal treasure inside it.

suffice it to say.

The other party still has the opportunity to be reincarnated and start anew.

This action is precisely in preparation for rebuilding in the next life!

Tie Xuan's breathing quickened slightly.

Based on this, we can draw the following conclusion.

He couldn't help but suspect that Jiang Chuan was the reincarnation of that real person.

However, the mystery of her birth has not yet been solved, her past life wisdom has not yet been awakened, and she is still unaware of what kind of being she once was, looking down upon all living beings.

However, this is just right. If the other party has already awakened his past life memories, even if he had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to make a move on Jiang Chuan.

A dead skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Even if a reincarnated True Person's cultivation has not yet recovered, their methods are beyond what a Qi Refining cultivator like him can withstand.

But...

The other party doesn't even know who they are yet...

The only reason he didn't act on the spot was that he couldn't see through Jiang Chuan's cultivation level.

But it's okay.

He had already secretly left a mark on that magical artifact.

Once Jiang Chuan's true identity is discovered, and his cultivation level and residence are determined, he can seize the treasure at any time!

The opportunity to become a reincarnated immortal is worth risking everything for!

Tie Xuan waved his sleeve.

His figure vanished silently into the thick fog.
