My Celestial Ascension

Chapter 109 Leaving The Ancient Treasury

?

Yuan's senses tingled as a potent aura beckoned from a few meters away. Intrigued by its strength, he followed the trail until his eyes widened in surprise at the treasure that lay before him.

"This is..." Yuan exclaimed, his voice filled with awe and excitement.

[Primordial Spiritforge Furnace] 

[Grade: Ancient] 

[Quality: Peak] 

[Minimum Required Cultivation: Peak Grandmaster Realm]

[Description: An ancient furnace said to be forged from primordial materials, enhancing the alchemical process and enabling the creation of pills with primordial properties.]

Before him stood the Primordial Spiritforge Furnace, it's ancient origins and peak quality radiating from every inch. Yuan's gaze absorbed the details engraved on its surface, taking in the inscription that revealed its remarkable attributes.

An alchemy furnace of such caliber was a rare find, and Yuan couldn't contain his delight. His eyes sparkled with newfound purpose as he envisioned the possibilities that lay ahead.

"An alchemy furnace, huh?" Yuan mused, his mind racing with ideas and ambitions. The prospect of refining pills with primordial properties enthralled him.

[Isn't this a very good thing for you? Now that you've found a perfect alchemy furnace? The only downside is that with your cultivation level, you can't use this thing.] Nora's voice resonated in Yuan's mind, pointing out the unfortunate reality. 

Yuan nodded in agreement. "Coming here was indeed a good choice," he acknowledged. "I already have an alchemy technique, but I didn't have an alchemy furnace to practice with. Now that I have this in my hands, I can start practicing alchemy once I reach the peak of the Grandmaster Realm."

His thoughts drifted to the mundane aspects of his life. Without soap and shampoo, he found bathing to be lacking that refreshing feeling he had experienced in his previous life on Earth. 

With the acquisition of the alchemy furnace, once he reached the peak of the Spirit Grandmaster Realm, he could create those necessary items through alchemy.

Amidst their exploration, Anna stumbled upon a wooden container made from precious materials. Intrigued, she decided to open the lid, her curiosity getting the better of her.

"This is...?" Anna exclaimed, her eyes widening with astonishment as she beheld numerous pill bottles arranged neatly inside the container. The bottles exuded an air of premium quality, sparking a delighted smile on Anna's face.

"Hmm? Aren't these bottles quite similar to the ones Darling had taken out previously?" Grace interjected, her curiosity piqued by the sight of the pill bottles that Anna had discovered.

"Yes, indeed," Anna replied, her excitement palpable. "And I believe each one of these bottles contains some kind of miraculous elixir within."

Grace couldn't contain her awe. "And there are so many of them!"

Anna nodded proudly, her smile growing wider. She felt a sense of accomplishment for uncovering such a treasure trove. "Let's call our son to examine these bottles," she suggested. 

"Dear, come here for a second and see what I have found."

"Alright! I'm coming!" Yuan responded eagerly. He swiftly stored the alchemy furnace inside his system storage, recognizing the urgency in Anna's voice.

Yuan approached his mother Anna, noticing that his other mother, Grace, was also present. He inquired eagerly, "What did you find, Mom?"

Anna's eyes brimmed with excitement as she pointed to the numerous clay bottles inside the wooden container. "Look at these, dear! Aren't these bottles quite similar to the ones you use to store pills?"

Yuan followed her finger and saw the array of pill bottles, causing his eyes to light up. "That's right! Each of them is a genuine pill bottle containing some kind of pills!"

He couldn't help but recognize the distinctive bottles, specifically designed to preserve the effectiveness of the pills over an extended period. Crafted from a special material, these bottles ensured the pills remained potent for countless years.

Using his divine sense, Yuan calculated the total number of bottles. "There are 356 pill bottles in total. And based on their size, each bottle probably contains five pills. That means there are 1,780 pills in total! It's an enormous quantity."

However, Yuan couldn't help but feel a tinge of concern. He inwardly prayed that the pills hadn't expired after millions of years. Taking a random bottle, he opened the lid and took out a pill, revealing it on his palm.

Anna, filled with anticipation, exclaimed, "This is... truly a pill! These bottles indeed contain pills!"

"To think that each bottle holds pills within. You're truly lucky, Anna!" Grace said with a smile. 

But their excitement quickly turned to confusion as the pill on Yuan's palm crumbled and disintegrated into dust before their eyes.

"What just happened? Why did the pill turn into dust?" Anna exclaimed, her confusion mirrored by Grace.

Nora's voice resonated in Yuan's mind, as she spoke. [Host, the pills have lost their effectiveness after millions of years. They are now useless. However, you can still keep the containers as they are still useful.]

Yuan felt a twinge of disappointment at the revelation that the pills had expired. He looked at Anna and Grace, who were awaiting an explanation.

Sigh," Yuan sighed, his disappointment evident. "The pills have expired after millions of years. They are useless now."

Anna let out a resigned sigh. "So they are useless, huh? Well, it's plausible, considering millions of years have passed." Though disappointed, she understood the circumstances.

Following that, Yuan emptied out each pill bottle and stored the empty containers inside his system storage. Though the pills were rendered useless, the containers still held value. As he planned to practice alchemy in the future, these bottles would prove useful for storing pills.

Meanwhile, Lily, Xi Meili, and Emma proceeded further into the room, their eyes eagerly scanned every treasure, swiftly storing them in their storage rings. 

Emma's gaze landed on a few storage rings displayed in a corner. She turned to Xi Meili and pointed at them, asking, "Aren't those storage rings just like the ones we have?"

Xi Meili followed Emma's finger and saw over a dozen storage rings on display. She nodded and replied, "Yes, those are indeed storage rings. Their quality is slightly lower than ours, but they should still be useful."

"Are there any items stored inside them?" Curiosity sparked in Lily as she observed the storage rings. 

Emma shared Lily's curiosity and exclaimed, "I'm curious too!"

After a brief moment of contemplation, Xi Meili explained, "Theoretically, most sects in the Nine Heavens keep a substantial amount of Spirit Stones inside storage rings. It makes it easier for them to distribute resources to their disciples."

Confusion clouded Lily and Emma's faces as they heard the term "Spirit Stone" for the first time. They asked in unison, "Spirit Stone? What are those?"

Sighing, Xi Meili shook her head and replied, "Spirit Stones are highly valuable resources for cultivators. They serve a similar purpose to the monster cores we acquired at the stall in Roth City." 

"Spirit Stones are used in various ways and have numerous applications. In the Nine Heavens, they are even used as a form of currency among cultivators. They use Spirit Stones to purchase necessary resources."

She continued, "Spirit Stones are categorized into four grades: Lower-Grade, Mid-Grade, High-Grade, and Superior-Grade. The higher the grade, the more valuable it is."

Lily's eyes lit up with anticipation. She exclaimed, "I hope each ring contains a lot of Spirit Stones!"

Emma nodded in agreement.

Xi Meili approached the storage rings and began inspecting their contents. There were a total of 15 rings, each filled with an abundance of Spirit Stones. Seven rings contained Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, five held Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, and the remaining three contained High-Grade Spirit Stones.

"Just as I thought, these rings do contain Spirit Stones!" Xi Meili exclaimed with a joyful smile.

"Oh my God! There are so many Spirit Stones inside this ring!" Lily couldn't contain her excitement. She eagerly took one Spirit Stone from the ring and examined it. 

Emma joined in, expressing amazement. "Indeed, there's a substantial amount!"

"Each ring contains twenty thousand Spirit Stones. Seven of them have Lower-Grade, five contain Mid-Grade, and three hold High-Grade Spirit Stones. We've hit the jackpot!" Xi Meili's smile widened as she shared the exciting news. 

The three of them celebrated their discovery, realizing the immense value of the Spirit Stones they had obtained. 

After storing all the treasures he had discovered in his system storage, Yuan, accompanied by his two mothers, Anna and Grace, finally arrived where Lily, Emma, and Xi Meili were gathered. Observing the smiles on their faces, Yuan couldn't help but inquire, "Are you guys done here? It seems like you've found something quite valuable."

Excitedly, Lily responded, "Oh, Yuan and Moms are here too!"

Xi Meili eagerly approached Yuan, her smile stretching from ear to ear, as she showed him the collection of storage rings they had acquired. "Hubby, look what we found!"

Curious, Yuan took one of the rings from Xi Meili's hand and inspected its contents. His eyes widened as he saw the twenty thousand blue-colored crystals inside. "These are... Spirit Stones?" he exclaimed in astonishment.

Xi Meili nodded and confirmed, "Yes, indeed. They are all Spirit Stones."

Anna, intrigued by the discussion, turned to Yuan and asked, "Dear, what are Spirit Stones?"

Yuan took a moment to explain to Anna and Grace about the nature and significance of Spirit Stones. After imparting his knowledge, he stored everything they had found in the treasury inside his system storage.

With everything secured, Yuan gazed at his wives and proposed, "Now that we've stored everything we've found, let's head back outside and enjoy a good meal."
