Chapter 493 The Divine Jar for Purifying Heaven and Earth [Please Subscribe]

As a spiritual treasure, the Moon Toad Pearl requires special techniques for refining.

This technique is also known as the "Spiritual Treasure Technique".

Each "Spiritual Treasure Technique" is almost unique and can only be used to refine the corresponding spiritual treasure.

These "spiritual communication techniques" are usually imprinted inside spiritual treasures. Only those who gain the recognition of the spirit within the spiritual treasure can receive the techniques from it.

When Zhou Chun opened his Purple Mansion, he had already obtained the "Spiritual Treasure Technique" for refining the Moon Toad Pearl.

However, because his cultivation level was not high enough at the time, even if he mastered this method, he would not be able to refine spiritual treasures, so he never cultivated.

At this time, he had achieved the completion of his Golden Core and finally had the strength to refine spiritual treasures. He then devoted himself to comprehending the "Spiritual Treasure Technique".

After successfully forming his core, Zhou Chun found it significantly easier to comprehend these cultivation techniques and secret arts than before.

After only three months of comprehension and cultivation, he had already mastered the "Spiritual Treasure Technique" for refining the [Moon Toad Pearl] and officially began refining it.

He opened his mouth and spat out a white pearl, which floated in front of him.

Then he quickly formed hand seals, and his magic power transformed into golden runes that flew toward the white orb, where they were all absorbed.

After absorbing the golden runes formed from Zhou Chun's magic power, the white pearl immediately began to emit a powerful aura.

Upon sensing that aura, the nearby spirit pets, including Lei Jiao Bai Bai and the Golden Armor Mountain-Bearing Turtle Shi Tou, all showed expressions of fear and awe, and involuntarily lowered their heads.

Not long after, Zhou Chun unleashed the entire "Spirit Communication Treasure Technique," then forced a drop of his own blood essence onto the white pearl, imprinting his mark upon it.

This completes the first sacrificial ritual.

From now on, he only needs to use the "Spiritual Treasure Technique" to refine and nurture this spiritual treasure every day, and he will be able to gradually deepen his compatibility with it and unleash even greater power.

Of course, limited by his cultivation level, even if he refines it for decades or hundreds of years, he can probably only unleash 20% or 30% of the power of this spiritual treasure.

Even so, that's still incredibly impressive!

After all, this is a spiritual treasure, a treasure that even Nascent Soul stage cultivators cannot all possess!

After refining the Moon Toad Pearl, Zhou Chun's consciousness sank into it and communicated with the spirit of the "Moon Toad," learning from it the specific magical abilities of this treasure.

The spirit of "Taiyin Moon Toad" may have once been a fifth-tier demon king who ruled over a group of demons, but now it is just a spirit whose original memories and consciousness have been completely erased.

Its memory contains only information about the magical treasure, the Moon Toad Pearl, and fragments of information about its former owner.

Now that Zhou Chun has become its new master, all the information it knows has been passed on to Zhou Chun.

From the spirit's memories, Zhou Chun knew that the Moon Toad Pearl had three great supernatural powers.

The first great supernatural power is the "Taiyin Extinction Divine Light", which can unleash an extremely cold light that extinguishes all life, freezing all life force, even the soul!

The second great supernatural power is the "Taiyin Protective Immortal Robe," a defensive supernatural power that is extremely effective against attacks of divine sense.

The third great supernatural power is "Moon Toad Possession," which can only be activated after successfully cultivating the "Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: Moon Toad Chapter."

Moreover, after using the "Moon Toad Possession" supernatural power and transforming into the Taiyin Moon Toad, the previous two supernatural powers can still be used!

As for the ability of the precious pearl to intimidate demonic beasts and absorb cold energy, these were merely the inherent functions of the magical treasure itself and could not be considered any kind of supernatural power.

This treasure has more than just these two wonderful uses; it also has the ability to gather the power of moonlight, purify the mind and concentrate the spirit, and suppress foreign spiritual power, among other wonderful uses.

Zhou Chun was naturally extremely satisfied with the three great supernatural powers of the Moon Toad Pearl.

Although limited by his cultivation level, the power of the first two divine abilities could not reach its full potential, but once unleashed, ordinary early-stage Golden Core cultivators would definitely be unable to withstand them.

As for the third supernatural power, "Moon Toad Possession," now that Zhou Chun's cultivation has reached the Golden Core stage and he is qualified to cultivate the "Nine Transformations of the Holy Spirit: Moon Toad Chapter," he will naturally look for demonic beasts with the bloodline of "Taiyin Moon Toad."

"With the power of the 'Taiyin Extinction Divine Light,' it should be able to kill a low-grade fourth-tier demonic beast or freeze a fourth-tier puppet by surprise, right?"

Zhou Chun held the white pearl in his hand, his eyes gleaming, as if he had a bold idea.

After pondering for a long time, he nodded to himself, then suddenly opened his mouth and swallowed the white pearl, storing it back in his dantian.

Magical treasures and spiritual treasures, once refined and used, can be stored in a cultivator's dantian and nourished by their own magical power.

When using these treasures, one can summon them to fight enemies with just a thought.

Some of these treasures are even highly spiritual and can automatically protect their owners!

Therefore, once you reach the Golden Core stage, the difficulty of launching a surprise attack on other cultivators of the same level will increase dramatically.

At this moment, Zhou Chun already had one spiritual treasure and two magic treasures in his dantian.

With his newly formed core cultivation level, even maintaining only the minimum level of nurturing made him feel some pressure.

This shows that having more magical treasures is not necessarily better.

Despite this, after refining the Moon Toad Pearl, Zhou Chun still set his sights on another treasure.

This treasure was naturally the purification stone jar he received as soon as he arrived in this world!

Zhou Chun had various speculations about the purifying stone jar.

Judging from its ability to automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and condense it into purified spiritual water, this item is at least a spiritual treasure.

However, he had possessed this treasure for nearly two hundred years and had tried countless times to refine and communicate with it, but had never succeeded.

Now that he has successfully formed his core and even completed the refining of the true spiritual treasure, the Moon Toad Pearl, Zhou Chun wants to see if this purification stone jar is still as unyielding as before!

Zhou Chun simply raised his hand and the purification stone jar that had been placed on the ground fell into his hand.

Then he first drank all the purified spiritual water in one gulp, and then held the stone jar with both hands, his magical power flowing continuously into the jar.

He had tried this before, but no matter how much magic he poured in, the stone jar showed no reaction whatsoever.

But this time, things seem to be different.

As he channeled his own magical power into the stone jar, Zhou Chun clearly felt a slight vibration in the jar in his hand.

Although the vibration was very slight, it was not noticeable unless you paid close attention.

There's hope!!

Zhou Chun was overjoyed and hurriedly held the stone jar to continue injecting more magic power.

The more magic power he poured into it, the more violently the stone jar in his hand vibrated.

Later, Zhou Chun even faintly felt a joyful and happy emotion emanating from the stone jar.

But his joy was short-lived. Zhou Chun suddenly discovered that his magical power was less than 30% of what it used to be!

This discovery greatly surprised him.

It should be noted that after reaching the Core Formation stage, his magical power was incredibly strong, and even wielding a magical treasure like the Azure Wood Divine Banner to fight for several hours was not a problem.

But now, in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, seventy percent of his magical power has been absorbed, which has left him utterly shocked.

At the same time, he couldn't help but worry whether he could make the purification jar reveal its true form before his magic power was exhausted.

Fortunately, perhaps sensing that his magic power was running low, the purification jar suddenly stopped absorbing his magic power when he had less than one-tenth left.

At this moment, the purification jar finally revealed an unusual change.

Suddenly, the dark green patterns on the jar began to glow with green light, and the originally stone-like jar gradually became as clear and bright as jade.

After Zhou Chun's divine sense landed on the jade jar, a piece of information was received from inside the jade jar and entered his mind.

"So that's how it is! So the real name of this object is the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar]? It was actually a sacred object used by our human race in ancient times for sacrificial rites. No wonder it has such a miraculous use!"

Zhou Chun muttered to himself in sudden realization, finally understanding the origin and purpose of the jade jar in his hand.

According to the information transmitted to him by the jade jar, the true name of the jade jar is the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar]. It is a sacrificial object made by the human race saints in ancient times. The materials used are innate spiritual objects that are said to appear only at the beginning of a world!

The purpose of the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar] is to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and condense it into "Purifying Heaven Divine Water".

This "Heavenly Purifying Water" is a supreme spiritual object that can purify all the filth and evil things in this world, and even the inner demons!

In ancient times, the human sages held the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar] and used the "Purifying Heaven Divine Water" to purify evil spirits from all directions, leading the human race to defeat one alien race after another.

However, after the saints ascended to heaven, some human deities fought fiercely for control of the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar]. Coupled with the interference of powerful alien races, the divine object was eventually lost and covered in dust, and the human race lost this divine object that suppressed fortune.

Furthermore, this [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar] was defiled by a powerful alien race using some kind of extremely high-grade filth, causing the spirit within to be severely injured and its power to plummet.

Furthermore, it has not received nourishment from high-level cultivators for countless years, resulting in its remaining power being less than one percent of its original strength.

The spirit of an artifact can only maintain its spirituality by going into complete hibernation!

Today, thanks to the nurturing power of Zhou Chun's Golden Core stage magic, the dormant artifact spirit was able to awaken slightly and transmit relevant information to him, lest he fail to recognize the value of this precious artifact and allow it to be tarnished once again!

Unfortunately, after transmitting the information to Zhou Chun, the spirit of the artifact fell back into a deep sleep.

According to the information conveyed to Zhou Chun by the artifact spirit, unless he can cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage one day and spend a thousand years nurturing this divine object, he will never be able to condense the complete "Purifying Heaven Divine Water".

Although the chances of obtaining the "Purifying Heaven Divine Water" are slim, Zhou Chun has not come away empty-handed.

From now on, he only needs to use most of his own magical power to nourish the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar] every day, and he can condense a jar of "Purifying Essence Water" every forty-nine days.

This "Pure Essence Water" is not only far superior to the purification water that the stone jar condensed on its own in purifying "turbid evil energy," but it also has the effect of purifying toxins and evil forces, and may even be able to purify the poison caused by taking pills.

In this way, the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar] becomes much more useful than before.

Furthermore, if Zhou Chun is able to form a nascent soul and a nascent spirit in the future, he can use the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar] to condense an even more potent "Purifying Holy Water".

Compared to "Purifying Essence Water", "Purifying World Holy Water" can be considered a lower-end version of "Purifying Heaven Divine Water". It has all the effects of "Purifying Heaven Divine Water", but the effects are much weaker.

"Well, another ancestor to support!"

Zhou Chun smiled bitterly to himself, suddenly realizing what the troubles of happiness were.

Other Golden Core cultivators only regret that they don't have enough magic treasures to use.

But he's the opposite; he simply has too many magical treasures to support them all.

In his current situation, he can't even afford to make offerings to the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar] every day. He can only barely make offerings to the remaining three magical treasures after he returns to his family and hands over the [Earth Vajra Shield] to Zhou Mingde.

However, once he cultivates the [Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron] into his natal magic weapon, it is estimated that before his cultivation reaches the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, he will only be able to support the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar], the [Moon Toad Pearl], and the [Myriad Transformations Golden Cauldron].

Zhou Chun's only consolation right now is that, due to the slumbering spirit of the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar] and its extremely high grade, he is currently unable to absorb it into his body with his cultivation level.

Therefore, this item will not continuously absorb his magical power to nourish itself like other magical treasures.

If he didn't want to condense "Pure Essence Water", he could simply inject magical power into it every few days to nurture it, instead of nurturing it every day.

Having unraveled the secret of the [Purifying Heaven and Earth Divine Jar], Zhou Chun had nothing else he wanted to do.

After resting for a few days, he took the jade talisman and headed towards a medicinal garden on the island.

This secret island is vast and rich in spiritual energy, so there is certainly more than one herb garden.

The medicinal herb garden left to Zhou Chun is probably just the most inconspicuous one among them.

But even the most inconspicuous place, after many years, will contain medicinal herbs that are highly anticipated!

Holding the jade talisman, Zhou Chun wandered around the island, eventually arriving at the foot of a mountain leading towards the Beast Garden.

The mountain peak in front of him was shrouded in a white light curtain, making it impossible to see what was inside.

If it weren't for the guidance, he might never have found this place.

At this moment, he gave some instructions to his spirit pets, then activated the jade talisman in his hand, releasing a beam of white spiritual light that landed on the light screen in front of him.

As soon as the white spiritual light came into contact with the white light curtain, the light curtain instantly cracked open, creating a portal about ten feet wide.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately summoned the [Earth Vajra Shield] and held it in his hand before slowly walking into the portal.

Although he felt that the owner of this place had no reason to harm him, he would still be as cautious as ever.

As Zhou Chun passed through the doorway, a strong medicinal smell wafted over him, making him feel extremely intoxicated.

It's unknown how long this place has been sealed off, or how many years the medicinal herbs inside have grown. The accumulated medicinal aroma must be extremely strong.

Zhou Chun looked around and saw that the mountain peak, which was less than two hundred feet high, was covered with spiritual trees and herbs.

"We've struck it rich! We've struck it rich!"

Looking at the spiritual trees and herbs covering the entire mountain, even Zhou Chun, who prided himself on having seen it all, was now bewildered and lost his composure.

Zhou Chun had no choice but to lose his composure!

Even though he was neither a plant grower specializing in spiritual herbs nor an alchemist, he could easily identify the various spiritual herbs that delighted him amidst the mountains full of them.

For example, on a pine tree with needles as green and emerald as jade, there grows a jade-green lingzhi mushroom with five leaves, each leaf bearing faint purple spiritual patterns.

This means that this jade-green Ganoderma lucidum is over five thousand years old!

The medicinal herbs here are so potent that even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be tempted to exchange them for treasures.

Meanwhile, in another thicket a hundred feet away from this jade-green Ganoderma lucidum, there grew a golden-ringed Solomon's seal with thirty-six pale golden nodes on its stem.

Each segment of the golden ring of Polygonatum represents a hundred years of medicinal age; thirty-six segments represent a medicinal age of three thousand six hundred years!

Although this item is less valuable than the five-thousand-year-old Five-Leaf Jade Lingzhi, it is still a rare medicinal herb that even a master alchemist like Luo Qingni would fight over.

In addition, rare and precious medicinal herbs such as the ginseng with a medicinal age of thousands of years, the thousand-gold fruit that only bears fruit once every thousand years, and the phoenix blood vine with a medicinal age of thousands of years that has grown golden spiritual patterns on its vine can all be found on this mountain!

Time is the best catalyst.

Many of the medicinal herbs on this mountain may have been seeds casually scattered by the owner of the place back then, who then neglected them.

However, as time passed, thanks to the rich spiritual energy of this place, these originally not particularly rare spiritual herbs have now grown into things that even Nascent Soul stage cultivators would find extremely tempting.

Suddenly, Zhou Chun seemed to have discovered something extraordinary, and his gaze became fixed on a certain spot.

In a valley halfway up the mountain, a magical tea tree was growing!

This sacred tea tree is very lush, reaching a height of over ten zhang (approximately 33 meters), and belongs to the arbor type of ancient tea tree.

It has been growing here for countless years, and the spirit wood itself is already of the fourth rank!

With such a high grade of spiritual wood, the spiritual tea produced from it must have extraordinary effects!

However, this is not the main reason why Zhou Chun attaches so much importance to it.

The main reason that Zhou Chun lost his composure was the dozen or so Ganoderma lucidum growing on the tea tree!

It was a milky white Ganoderma lucidum. The leaves of the Ganoderma lucidum were generally not large, with the largest being only about the size of three palms. Faint golden spiritual patterns grew on the leaves.

This thing has a beautiful name, called "Jade Marrow Fungus". It is very delicate and can only survive on fourth-order spirit wood.

The thousand-year-old jade marrow fungus is an essential main ingredient for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill!

There are now fifteen Jade Marrow Fungus plants on that Spirit Tea Tree, seven of which are over a thousand years old, and one of which is over three thousand years old.

Among the remaining jade marrow mushrooms, there are four that are nearly a thousand years old!

I was busy renting a place today and didn't have much time to write. I can only write 5,000 words so far. I'll make up for the 1,000 words I owe tomorrow!
