The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 790

Chapter 790: Chapter 787: Fruitless Effort to Prolong Life Chapter 790: Chapter 787: Fruitless Effort to Prolong Life “Are we really allowed to take anything we want? We have a lot of space in our storage magical tools, maybe we might just clean out everything here?” Bai Xiaotian joked.

“The Sacred Lotus Temple is domineering and is a huge tumor in our Black Chicken Kingdom. To speak truthfully, our royal family has long wished to eradicate it, but unfortunately, their strength is too strong, we can only tolerate and compromise. Now that the three of you have eradicated this tumor, it is a great merit to our Black Chicken Kingdom, it is not something that can be compared to these treasures.” Qi Lianmi said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo understood why the king of the Black Chicken Kingdom was so enthusiastic towards them.

In that case, he decided not to stand on ceremony anymore and started to wander around the hall, looking for treasures that could be of use.

However, his cultivation level was already quite high, and he currently didn't need any magical instruments or similar items. After looking for a while, he didn't find anything suitable.

In contrast, Bai Xiaotian, without any hesitation, quickly picked up several items.

Making a turn, Shen Luo suddenly stopped, looking towards a shelf ahead. Laying on it were dozens of white spiritual conches, each adorned with golden specks, their spiritual energy quite impressive.

“Whitestar Conch!” he exclaimed with joy.

The Whitestar Conch was the main material for creating an Invisibility Talisman, which was quite rare. He didn't expect to find so many here.

Having thought of this, Shen Luo immediately gathered all the Whitestar Conches.

Next to the Whitestar Conches were two pieces of blood-red jade, which were actually two Sunstones.

These two sunstones were extremely pure. Although there wasn't much spiritual energy fluctuation, they exuded a vibrant energy that made one's spirit vibrate.

“Such pure Sunstone, while it isn't much use to me, it would benefit common people if they keep them close. It can refresh the mind and prolong life. I will inscribe two Peace Talismans later and ask Brother Bai to deliver them to Father and Aunt.” Shen Luo thought to himself and picked up the two Sunstones.

He continued to look around the great hall, and quickly found two more useful ingredients, which were the spiritual materials for an Escape Earth Talisman.

Shen Luo had already covered more than half of the great hall and was soon at the end. He didn't find any other useful materials.

However, being able to find spiritual materials for Invisibility Talisman and Escape Earth Talisman had already left him quite satisfied. Just as he was about to leave, a wooden box caught his attention.

The wood box was half-open, and inside was a piece of earth-yellow rootstock which didn't look impressive with its wrinkled surface.

“Is this…?” Upon seeing the earth-yellow fruit, an excited look appeared on Shen Luo's face.

“Brother Shen, what have you found? What is this? It's so wrinkled and its spiritual power is quite low.” Bai Xiaotian came over, curiously looking at the earth-yellow fruit.

“This is Octagonal Lotus Leaf, a rare Immortal Fruit, which can only be found in the Penglai Immortal Island. Not only does it greatly enhance one's abilities after consumption, but it can also add quite a lot to one's lifespan. Its ugly appearance and concealed medicinal properties make it hard to recognize.” Shen Luo explained with some excitement.

“Octagonal Lotus Leaf? I've never heard of this name before. I didn't expect Brother Shen to know so much about spiritual fruits. You've lost so much lifespan this time, you better consume this fruit quickly.” Bai Xiaotian urged.

Shen Luo was able to identify the Octagonal Lotus Leaf because he had seen the information about it in the jade slip he had obtained from the Treasures Hall Ruins in the Dream World. This fruit was exactly what he needed urgently. Without any hesitation, he gulped it down.

The Octagonal Lotus Leaf dissolved quickly inside his body and turned into a stream of pure vitality that integrated into him.

Shen Luo sat down cross-legged, activating the Nameless Cultivation Technique to absorb the medicinal efficacy. His wounds healed rapidly.

Half an hour later, his wounds completely healed. His spiritual power joyously circulated within his body. Blue light surged from his body and exploded into waves of blue light, spreading in all directions.

Bai Xiaotian hastily waved his hands, generating a prohibition to withstand the impact of the blue light waves, preventing any damage to the items in the hall.

The medicinal strength of the Octagonal Lotus Leaf was unexpectedly strong. After healing Shen Luo's injuries, it still had quite a surplus left over.

Naturally, he wouldn't waste it. He circulated his skills to continue absorbing its power. His cultivation realm advanced immediately, and the progression was surprisingly fast.

Shen Luo felt both amazed and joyful with the situation, yet he was also somewhat puzzled.

He had only broken through the Nascent Soul Stage not long ago, and his foundation was just becoming stable; even with the help of spiritual medicine, he should not be progressing this rapidly.

What Shen Luo didn't know was that because he always cultivated by himself without guidance from a master, his understanding of cultivation was not deep. His countless battles and cultivation insights in the Dream World had a significant effect on his cultivation in reality. He had already polished the realm of the Nascent Soul Stage long ago, and that's why he was progressing so fiercely.

By the time he had absorbed all the medicinal power of the Octagonal Lotus Leaf, half a day had already passed.

His cultivation level made a drastic leap, reaching the peak of the initial period of the Nascent Soul Stage, and he was just a step away from the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Shen Luo opened his eyes, and noticed that he was enveloped in a golden restriction which was resisting the waves of blue light from his body, each wave stronger than the last.

Bai Xiaotian was standing outside the golden restriction, clenching his teeth in a strained effort to maintain it.

“Brother Bai, I apologize for my neglect, to recklessly start cultivation like this and trouble you for the protection.” Shen Luo quickly retracted the rampaging mana around him and apologized.

“It is of no matter, congratulations on your progression. However, how is your lifespan recovery coming along?” Bai Xiaotian dispersed the golden light curtain and after observing Shen Luo for a moment, he asked.

Only then Shen Luo remembered about his lifespan issue. He hurriedly closed his eyes to examine it. The excitement on his face gradually receded, and his complexion turned pale.

His cultivation level had greatly improved, but after absorbing the medicinal strength of the Octagonal Lotus Leaf, his lifespan hadn't recovered at all.

“Could it be that I've consumed too many lifespan-increasing elixirs hence such spiritual items no longer have any effect on me?” Shen Luo said to himself.

When refining the Lifespan Increase Spirit Milk Pill, Dan Yangzi had mentioned something similar to him, could it be that there is such a thing as building up resistance against it?

“What happened?” Bai Xiaotian noticing Shen Luo's change in complexion, hastily asked.

Shen Luo slowly explained about his lifespan not improving.

“How can this be? The medicine's power was so strong, and I could sense its lifespan-increasing effect, how it can be ineffective?” Bai Xiaotian said with disbelief.

Shen Luo's face looked rather unwell, and he remained silent.

“Brother Shen, don't be upset. Our understanding is not enough, let us return to Chang'an City and ask Yuan Tiangang and Duke Cheng for their insights. Both of them are knowledgeable and may know the reason,” Bai Xiaotian suggested.

“Right, let's quickly return to Chang'an City!” Shen Luo, worried and at a loss, didn't think of this and hastily said.

The two left the treasure room. Qi Lianmi was waiting outside.

Just now, when Shen Luo was cultivating inside, the rolling spiritual pressure made it unbearable for him, so he came out to wait.

“Have you two found what you needed?” Qi Lianmi greeted them as Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian emerged.

“Yes, thank you, Prince Qi, for showing us the way. We need to return to Chang'an City for an urgent matter, so we must take our leave now.” Shen Luo made a bow with hands clasped to Qi Lianmi, then transformed into a blue light, shooting forward.

Bai Xiaotian also greeted Qi Lianmi and, transformed into a streak of golden light, followed closely behind Shen Luo.
