Sea God Island Treasury (2)

Regarding the author's transformations, there are three types.

The first type: burning one's cultivation to transform.

Examples: Xiao Wu and her mother in the original work, Ah Yin.

They relinquish their Soul Beast cultivation, are no longer affected by Heavenly Tribulations, transform into human form and cultivate anew, gaining humans' talent for cultivation. Upon reaching level seventy, their Soul Beast aura is completely concealed.

The second type: transforming only in appearance.

Examples: Di Tian, Bi Ji, Zi Ji.

They retain their Soul Beast cultivation and remain affected by Heavenly Tribulations. They can freely switch between human and Soul Beast forms.

The third type: perfect transformation—Transformation Pill (the protagonist may obtain one in the future).

Examples: none.

They retain their Soul Beast cultivation, are unaffected by Heavenly Tribulations, possess human cultivation talent, and can freely switch between human and Soul Beast forms without any restrictions.

After clearing out the Herb Repository, Li Changsheng arrived at the Metal Repository. Rare metals were piled up like mountains here, strewn across the ground like trash.

The mountain of rare metals made Li Changsheng's heart tremble, and he was overjoyed. He possessed the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements, but artifact refinement was far too expensive. Due to a shortage of materials, since arriving on the Douluo Continent, he had only crafted a few magical artifacts. One of them was the spatial artifact he currently used—the Devouring Pouches. The Devouring Pouches could hold objects far larger than themselves, even living creatures. However, they could not directly contain conscious living beings. If one was forcibly placed inside, it would automatically be expelled.

Li Changsheng thought about how powerful he had become, yet he could not even produce a few handy magical artifacts. Even his disciple Ye Han Yue had received only a protective jade pendant-type artifact from him. He felt downright shabby.

With that thought, Li Changsheng hesitated no longer. Looking at the mountain-like heaps of rare metals scattered everywhere before him, he waved his hand and filled an entire Devouring Pouch. Seeing the mountain of rare metals inside the pouch, then looking at the mountains of rare metals before him, Li Changsheng said helplessly, "Sigh, I can only take this much. I still need the remaining Devouring Pouches to carry treasures from the other rooms."

With that, Li Changsheng could only leave the Metal Repository, reluctantly looking back with every step.

Upon arriving at the Soul Bone Repository, he saw rows of cabinets. Soul Bones containing powerful energy floated atop them. However, like the immortal herbs in the Herb Repository, these Soul Bones had been sealed with special methods to prevent their energy from leaking out.

Seeing this, Li Changsheng used the same method as he had in the Herb Repository. Powerful Spiritual Power burst forth from his body, easily penetrating the Soul Power seals to examine the ages and quality of the Soul Bones within.

After probing with his Spiritual Power, Li Changsheng learned that there were three hundred-thousand-year Soul Bones, five high-grade ten-thousand-year Soul Bones, and eight low-grade ten-thousand-year Soul Bones here. The remaining Soul Bones were all thousand-year and hundred-year Soul Bones.

Li Changsheng did not feel much greed upon seeing these Soul Bones. Back in the Star Dou Forest, he had visited Three-Eyed Golden Lion's little treasury. There had been no shortage of Soul Bones inside, with even five or six hundred-thousand-year Soul Bones. There were also many spiritual-type Soul Bones among them. After all, Three-Eyed Golden Lion mainly ate spiritual-type Soul Beasts. Having grown used to seeing Soul Bones, Li Changsheng naturally did not become overly greedy for these. He merely looked through them a few times and selected several that suited his people.

While selecting Soul Bones, Li Changsheng suddenly discovered a special ten-thousand-year Soul Bone. The energy fluctuations it emitted piqued his curiosity, so Li Changsheng released his Spiritual Power to inspect it. After probing it, he found that it was a wing-type External Soul Bone.

Seeing this, Li Changsheng remembered that his only disciple, Ye Han Yue, still did not have an External Soul Bone. Without hesitation, he waved his hand without the slightest politeness and stored the ten-thousand-year External Soul Bone in a Devouring Pouch. Then, after taking several Soul Bones suited to the constitutions and attributes of his people, he turned and left the Soul Bone Repository.

As for why he had not taken the hundred-thousand-year Soul Bones, there were only three of them in the treasury to begin with. There were so few that their owners were reluctant to use them, yet he would still take them? One had to understand social propriety. The world of Soul Masters was not just about fighting and killing; it was also about human relationships. Besides, only one of the three hundred-thousand-year Soul Bones suited Li Changsheng or those around him. Other than the immense energy it contained, it was of little use to Li Changsheng, so he did not take it.

After leaving the Soul Bone Repository, Li Changsheng arrived at the Ore Repository. Here, he saw ores, most of which were water-attribute and wood-attribute ores. There were not many ores of other attributes.

Li Changsheng strolled around the Ore Repository a few times, took several ores he needed, and then left. There was not much to choose from among the ores. Most were water-attribute and wood-attribute ores; he only needed to select a few with abundant energy.

After that, Li Changsheng toured all the remaining treasuries. After taking several valuable treasures, he prepared to leave the Sea God Island Treasury.

Just as Li Changsheng was about to leave the treasury, he suddenly noticed a concealed door. Though calling it concealed was not quite right—it had simply not been cleaned for so long that it had blended into the surrounding walls. If Li Changsheng had not discovered it by chance, it would have been impossible to notice.

Seeing this, Li Changsheng considered his invincible strength and directly opened the door, entering the room beyond.

The room behind the door was extremely messy. Compared with the previous treasure vaults, this room was utterly disorderly, with every item placed haphazardly. It was obvious that whenever the people of Sea God Island collected something but could not determine what it was, they simply threw it into this room.

Thinking about the limited knowledge of the people of the Douluo Continent, Li Changsheng felt that their insight was extremely shallow. Perhaps some treasures they did not recognize had simply been tossed here as trash.

With that thought, Li Changsheng once again mobilized his Spiritual Power and probed the "pile of trash" before him.

There were many things in the room. Li Changsheng searched for a while without finding anything good, and he began to think he had been overthinking it. Just as he was about to withdraw his Spiritual Power—

His Spiritual Power detected a box that could not be probed and an Ancient Qin.

Li Changsheng reached out and used Soul Power to draw the box and the Ancient Qin toward him. The box bore an extremely terrifying seal, but to the invincible Li Changsheng, it was nothing. He circulated the Five Thunders Orthodox Method and used the domineering power of lightning techniques to directly shatter the seal on the box.

After the box was opened, what lay inside made Li Changsheng's pupils suddenly contract. Inside was actually a dark-blue inner pill—a Soul Beast Inner Pill.

Moreover, from the energy emitted by this Soul Beast Inner Pill, Li Changsheng could state with absolute certainty that it was the inner pill of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast.

Upon seeing the inner pill, Li Changsheng immediately thought of his disciple Ye Han Yue. She had broken through to level seventy not long ago and was now in urgent need of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring. Couldn't this inner pill serve perfectly as his disciple's hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring?

Li Changsheng hurriedly put away the box. He figured that whoever had discovered it had been unable to open it, yet had been certain it was a treasure. Since it was useless to keep but a pity to discard, they had thrown it here.
