Tidal Body Tempering; Sea God Island Treasury (1)

The following noon.

A white-haired young man floated in midair atop the Deep Sea Silver Pillar. Waves of tidal force continuously crashed against him, yet in the face of the terrifyingly powerful tides, the white-haired youth paid them no heed. Though the waves battered him, he suffered no injury whatsoever.

After an unknown amount of time, the white-haired youth rose to his feet and left the range of the tidal impacts, returning to land. Looking back at where he had just been cultivating, he let out a faint sigh.

"Alas, this tidal body tempering from the Sea God's trial isn't very useful to me."

"It's already been an entire night, yet my physique has improved by a negligible amount."

That was right—the white-haired youth was Mo Changyu. Unable to sleep out of boredom the previous night, Mo Changyu had thought of the tidal body tempering from the original novel's Nine Trials, which could strengthen one's physique. So, he had come to the silver pillar in the middle of the night to temper his body. Yet after an entire night, he had gained almost nothing.

Of course, that was understandable. Mo Changyu already possessed a Demi-Immortal Body. Though it was only half a step into immortality, it still bore the word "immortal." The toughness of his physique was beyond imagination. Tidal body tempering was a body-tempering method for mortals; the fact that it could have even the slightest effect on a physique like his was already quite good.

At that thought, Mo Changyu felt relieved. He pondered inwardly, Since tidal body tempering won't work, I can only think of another way.

Trying to unite Soul Power, physique, and Spiritual Power as one in order to become immortal... the difficulty is obvious.

As Mo Changyu pondered, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Mr. Li, why are you here?"

"We've been looking for you for ages. Everyone was worried about you."

Mo Changyu turned around and saw Hai Long Douluo, the foremost of the Seven Sacred Pillars, flying toward him while calling out.

Mo Changyu awkwardly waved his hand. "I was bored, so I came out for a stroll in the middle of the night."

"I happened to pass by the Deep Sea Silver Pillar, grew curious, and cultivated here for the night."

Upon hearing this, a stormy sea surged within Hai Long Douluo's heart, and astonishment appeared on his face. Mo Changyu had not accepted the Sea God's trial, so he definitely did not have the Sea God's special power protecting him. That meant he had endured the tidal body tempering until now purely through the strength of his body, without anyone intervening. From last night until now, it had to have been at least twelve hours, right? And this was his first time.

Mo Changyu paid no attention to the shock on Hai Long Douluo's face. He merely said calmly, "What is it? Why are you in such a hurry? Is something wrong?"

Hearing Mo Changyu's voice, Hai Long Douluo came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Oh, right, right. Today, I'm responsible for taking you to Sea God Island's Treasure Vault to choose the treasures you need."

"It's just that we couldn't find you this morning. We searched all morning before finally finding you now."

"Would you like to go now, or after lunch?"

Faced with Hai Long Douluo's question, Mo Changyu answered without hesitation, "Let's eat first. We can choose treasures anytime. We'll go this afternoon."

After hearing Mo Changyu's response, Hai Long Douluo led him to the dining area.

By the time Hai Long Douluo brought Mo Changyu to the dining area, Shui Rou and the other two women had already been waiting there.

When Shui Rou and the other two women saw Li Changsheng arrive, they rose and bowed. "Greetings, sir."

Li Changsheng was already accustomed to this. He directly told them to sit down, and even asked Hai Long Douluo, who had planned to leave after escorting him there, to stay and eat with them.

Hai Long Douluo did not hesitate. What was there not to like about dining with a powerhouse?

After lunch.

Using the excuse of letting Shui Rou and the other two women go out for a casual stroll, Li Changsheng sent them away. The three women were overjoyed and headed to the bustling commercial district in the city to shop.

Seeing this, Li Changsheng sighed inwardly. Sure enough, no matter what world it is, women's innate love of shopping never changes.

At that moment, Hai Long Douluo walked up to Li Changsheng and quietly said, "Mr. Li, let's go."

Li Changsheng merely gave a quiet grunt. He said nothing more and followed Hai Long Douluo toward Sea God Island's Treasure Vault.

After walking for an unknown length of time, the two arrived before an extremely well-hidden palace.

Hai Long Douluo stepped forward. Soul Power surged within him, and with a casual wave of his hand toward the palace, the invisible barrier shrouding it vanished.

Hai Long Douluo pushed open the palace doors and explained to Li Changsheng behind him, "Mr. Li, I've removed the barrier. This is Sea God Island's Treasure Vault. Go in and choose whatever you wish. I won't accompany you inside; I was only responsible for leading you here."

Thinking about how Li Changsheng would take treasure after treasure from the vault, Hai Long Douluo chose not to go in. Out of sight, out of mind. He did not want to watch Li Changsheng take away the treasures one by one. Everything in the Treasure Vault had been accumulated bit by bit by Sea God Island over the years.

Seeing the pained look on Hai Long Douluo's face, Li Changsheng laughed inwardly, though his expression did not change. He simply grunted and walked into Sea God Island's Treasure Vault.

Inside Sea God Island's Treasury.

Several doors stood before Li Changsheng, each marked with a different location: Herb Repository, Ore Repository, Metal Repository, Soul Bone Room, and so on.

Li Changsheng stood before the doors and pondered for a while before heading toward the Herb Repository. Compared to the other kinds of treasures, herbs could leave behind seeds for replanting and be used repeatedly. He was very confident in his cultivation techniques.

Upon entering the Herb Repository, he saw rows upon rows of cabinets, each containing different herbs. Every herb here had been sealed with Soul Power through secret techniques.

At the sight, Spiritual Power surged from Li Changsheng's body and spread throughout the Herb Repository toward every herb. His Spiritual Power easily ignored the Soul Power seals and examined the herbs within.

After inspecting them one by one, Li Changsheng had to marvel that Sea God Island, which had already unified vast stretches of sea, truly had decent reserves. Many herbs had reached the grade of immortal herbs. There were even quite a few ten-thousand-year immortal herbs, such as Ling Shui Yuan Cao, Feng Ling Guo, Xue Long Yan Cao, and Cang Mu Xian Cao. These immortal herbs were probably no inferior to those nurtured within the Yin Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.

Yet judging from the dust around them, no one had come here for a very long time. It was clear that Sea God Island's people, like those on the continent, had an extremely shallow understanding of immortal herbs. Even if they could sense that these herbs would greatly benefit them, they did not know how to use them and did not dare consume them. That was why these ten-thousand-year immortal herbs had remained here in obscurity.

Thinking this, Li Changsheng waved a hand and swept all the ten-thousand-year immortal herbs into his Devouring Pouches. At the same time, he continuously reassured himself, They can't use them anyway, so they're just trash. I'm recycling trash.

Now they can be properly used and won't go to waste.

As he continued consoling himself, the last trace of guilt in Li Changsheng's heart vanished completely.
