"Lone Wolf Gang..."
Hearing the threats Zhang Meng and Zhao Yuan had hurled as they fled, Lu Changsheng's expression grew slightly grave.
Lingxiao Sect's outer sect had many small gang factions, and the Lone Wolf Gang was one of them. Its leader, Chen Hai, was said to have already entered the Fifth Level of Core Condensation Realm.
Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng could not help clenching his fists in secret. If the Lone Wolf Gang came looking for trouble, he definitely would not be able to handle them with his current strength.
Therefore, increasing his strength was an urgent matter. However, now that Lu Changsheng cultivated the Heaven Swallowing Creation Art, such a heaven-defying cultivation technique, improving his strength was no longer difficult.
Because the Heaven Swallowing Creation Art was his greatest reliance now!
"Strange, why am I suddenly feeling so parched..."
Coming back to his senses, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt thirsty. He immediately picked up a clay bowl, scooped out a bowl of water from the vat, and gulped it down.
Halfway through drinking, Lu Changsheng's heart stirred. He then poured the remaining half-bowl of water into the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron.
Unexpectedly, something miraculous happened. The half-bowl of clear water slowly began changing within the golden cauldron, its original clarity gradually turning emerald green!
"This..."
"What's going on?"
Lu Changsheng's eyes widened in bewilderment. Why had the water poured into the Sky Swallowing Cauldron suddenly changed color? Could it have gone bad?
"No..."
After examining it, Lu Changsheng discovered that the emerald-green water carried a faint, refreshing fragrance and seemed to contain abundant energy!
"This is... Spirit Water?"
Lu Changsheng suddenly recalled that the inner sect of Lingxiao Sect supposedly had a miraculous Spirit Spring. The water of this Spirit Spring was emerald green and possessed wondrous effects that aided cultivation.
However, only Lingxiao Sect's Inner Disciples were permitted to drink this kind of spring water.
With that thought, Lu Changsheng curiously lifted the cauldron and took a small sip.
Unexpectedly, the water was like sweet dew flowing down his throat, instantly transforming into a stream of pure energy that surged through his limbs and bones.
Lu Changsheng was utterly amazed. He had never drunk such delicious water before!
This Spirit Spring water was simply too sweet and refreshing, and it also contained pure, abundant energy!
But why had the water poured into the Golden Cauldron suddenly become Spirit Spring water?
"Could it be that this Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron can improve the quality of whatever is placed inside it?"
Lu Changsheng pondered silently.
After musing for a moment, Lu Changsheng decided to verify his suspicion. He immediately took out a medicinal pill from his robes.
This pill had a rough, dull surface and was a low-quality Spirit Ascension Pill.
Though this Spirit Ascension Pill was merely a low-quality pill, Lu Changsheng had spent several months saving up Spirit Stones to buy it. He normally could not bear to use it and had kept it carefully stored away.
Next, Lu Changsheng placed the Spirit Ascension Pill into the Sky Swallowing Cauldron.
Yet strangely, the Spirit Ascension Pill showed no changes at all.
"Why hasn't it changed?"
Lu Changsheng was somewhat disappointed. Could his guess have been wrong?
Still, he patiently waited for a miracle. After waiting several hours, Lu Changsheng helplessly let out a sigh.
Buzz!
At that moment, however, a sudden change erupted within the Golden Cauldron. A burst of golden light exploded forth, and Lu Changsheng looked into the cauldron. When he saw the pill inside, he was so shocked that he stood rooted to the spot, dumbfounded.
There were actually two Spirit Ascension Pills inside the Sky Swallowing Cauldron!
Moreover, the surfaces of these two Spirit Ascension Pills were smooth and round, marked with faint pill patterns and emitting an exceedingly rich medicinal fragrance.
"This is..."
"Peak-grade Spirit Ascension Pills?!"
Lu Changsheng sucked in a cold breath.
Medicinal pills could be divided into grades one through nine, and were further classified as low-quality, low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and peak-grade. Lu Changsheng had placed one low-quality Spirit Ascension Pill into the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron, yet it had unexpectedly become two Peak-grade Spirit Ascension Pills!
The Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron truly could improve the quality of items placed within it. It could even increase their quantity!
This was simply too miraculous!
Lu Changsheng was ecstatic. He had never expected the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron to possess such wondrous effects!
Next, Lu Changsheng placed five Low-grade Spirit Stones inside it.
As expected, the five Low-grade Spirit Stones became ten High-grade Spirit Stones!
After a round of experiments, Lu Changsheng quickly figured out the pattern. This Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron truly possessed the ability to improve the quality of items.
Whether they were inferior medicinal pills, low-grade Spirit Stones, or even some low-tier weapons, placing them into the cauldron would improve their quality!
Furthermore, the items placed within also had a certain chance of doubling in quantity!
However, the higher the grade of the item placed into the cauldron, the longer it took to improve its quality.
"What a treasure!"
Lu Changsheng felt as though he had found a priceless treasure as he held the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron in his palm.
This Golden Cauldron was truly a rare treasure of the world. It possessed the ability to turn decay into wonder. No matter how ordinary something was, its quality would change after being enhanced by it.
"This kind of treasure absolutely cannot be exposed carelessly, or it may bring a calamity that destroys me utterly."
Lu Changsheng muttered to himself.
The Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron was truly an extraordinary item. If others learned that he possessed such a treasure, it would likely bring him a fatal disaster.
But where should he hide the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron?
As a Miscellaneous Servant Disciple, Lu Changsheng did not even possess a Cosmic Bag. After thinking deeply for a while, however, he came up with a solution. He decided to hide the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron within his dantian!
That way, it would be difficult for others to discover the Sky Swallowing Cauldron.
"Now, I must find a way to continue improving my strength. Before the Lone Wolf Gang comes looking for trouble, I need to break through to the Core Condensation Realm before I can protect myself."
Lu Changsheng muttered inwardly.
After giving it some thought, he decided to go into seclusion and cultivate at Dragon Fall Ravine for a while.
Dragon Fall Ravine was a rare, treasured cultivation ground within Lingxiao Sect.
It was said that a Dragon Vein lay hidden beneath Dragon Fall Ravine. This Dragon Vein could release Dragon Qi, which made the Spiritual Energy Essence there exceptionally dense.
Cultivating there often yielded twice the result with half the effort.
Normally, Lingxiao Sect's Outer Disciples would all go there to cultivate in seclusion.
However, Dragon Fall Ravine was not a place just anyone could enter freely.
The deeper one went into Dragon Fall Ravine, the denser the Spiritual Energy Essence became. Yet Outer Disciples and Miscellaneous Servant Disciples could only cultivate in the outermost area, and their cultivation time could not exceed three days.
Furthermore, each entry into Dragon Fall Ravine required payment of ten Spirit Stones.
As a Miscellaneous Servant Disciple, Lu Changsheng had previously been unable to bear spending ten Spirit Stones to cultivate at Dragon Fall Ravine. But now, in order to improve his strength, he decided to indulge himself once and enter Dragon Fall Ravine for a proper cultivation session.
"Phew..."
Thinking this, Lu Changsheng let out a long breath of stale air, then left Labor Peak and headed toward Dragon Fall Ravine...
