I Cultivate Longevity in the Cultivation Realm

This tripod, named the Qiankun Tripod, is precisely the high-value artifact he heard about from ’Luoxia Fairy’ while inquiring about Xue Tong today.

The Qiankun Tripod is essentially a pill furnace.

Originally, it was the personal belonging of a Tier One Upper-Grade Alchemy Master at the Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation.

However, during a time in Liangyuan Mountain, this Tier One Upper-Grade Alchemy Master had a dispute with Insect King Xue Tong over a top-grade spiritual medicine. After a fierce battle, he was slain by Xue Tong.

This personal pill furnace naturally fell into the hands of Xue Tong.

Xue Tong, not skilled in alchemy, found no use for the pill furnace, so many Alchemy Masters came to buy it. The highest offer even reached eight thousand lower-grade spirit stones, but all were rejected by him.

Others did not know the reason, but they were aware that he had such a pill furnace in his possession.

Upon learning this from Luoxia Fairy, Zhou Changwang’s heart skipped a beat. He instinctively guessed that if the pill furnace hadn’t been disposed of by Xue Tong, it must be within the manor.

Seeing it now, it was indeed the case, and he was naturally overjoyed.

"Others do not know why Xue Tong kept this pill furnace.

But I know, he surely wants to implement the method from the Five Poison Heart Scripture, aiming to collect five top-grade Five Poisonous Venom Pouches, then use this pill furnace for refinement, thereby quenching his spiritual root and improving his spiritual root talent..."

Zhou Changwang had read the Five Poison Heart Scripture. Although he did not plan to cultivate it, its characteristic of enhancing spiritual root talent left a deep impression on him.

He could naturally guess that Xue Tong must also want to use this method to improve his spiritual root talent.

The top-grade pill furnace is indeed a very suitable vessel for refining the power of the five poisons.

"Xue Tong placing the pill furnace in the backyard should also be for testing.

Trying at first with the venom of those weak five poisons to see if it also possesses this characteristic.

And this is likely the reason why he specifically raised these five poisonous creatures in this backyard."

Looking at the scene before him, Zhou Changwang silently compared it with the information he knew from the Five Poison Heart Scripture, and immediately had a speculation.

Then, his gaze fell on the divided five poisonous spirit insects.

Among the poisonous snakes, there was not just one kind. In fact, there were dozens of kinds of poisonous snakes, growing mixed together, attacking and devouring each other, the last survivors being the strongest and most toxic.

The same was true for scorpions, centipedes, toads, and so on.

Dozens of various five poison creatures grew together, and eventually, they picked the ’strongest’, which had reached the first layer of demonization, comparable to the first layer of a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, to conduct experiments.

To achieve the purpose of spiritual root enhancement stated in the Five Poison Heart Scripture.

However, Zhou Changwang’s thoughts were quite normal, unlike Xue Tong, who harbored ideas of cultivating the Five Poison Heart Scripture and refining the five poisons.

In his opinion, the five poisonous creatures in the backyard were all bad things and once spread, the harm would not be small.

Hence, Zhou Changwang steeled his heart and began a massacre.

He struck wildly, regardless of what venomous insects and creatures, killing them all.

Finally, he collected all the killed poisonous creatures’ bodies, placing them into empty storage bags and spirit insect bags.

He planned to feed all these venomous creatures to the Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees as their rations.

After all, the Gold-Devouring Spirit Bees had strong mandibles, capable of devouring metal spirit ores, let alone these spirit insects and poisonous creatures.

Perhaps, with the nutritional support from various venomous insects, they might truly evolve and breakthrough to a demonization layer.

Immediately afterward, Zhou Changwang arrived in front of the giant pill furnace.

Inside the pill furnace, there was a thick layer of venom, all specially collected by Xue Tong. After thinking about it, Zhou Changwang decided to store it in a bag, carefully placing it in the corner of the storage bag.

Then, he used a dozen rounds of the cleaning technique to thoroughly cleanse the pill furnace, ensuring no venom was left, before happily placing it in his storage bag.

A top-grade magical artifact pill tripod.

Extremely valuable.

Someone offered eight thousand lower-grade spirit stones; its actual value is at least over ten thousand lower-grade spirit stones.

Being able to acquire such a treasure, he was naturally delighted.

And as he stored away the pill furnace,

the whole array automatically dissipated.

The five areas could no longer maintain themselves, merging back into one.

The few surviving spirit insects began to scurry around, even killing each other.

This is why Zhou Changwang preemptively exterminated all the Five Poison Creatures.

Otherwise, once he took the pill furnace and did not control them, these Five Poison Creatures would wreak havoc around, causing extensive harm.

High-tier cultivators might not fear them, but those lower-powered cultivators living in the East District could suffer.

He did not want the marketplace’s strong practitioners to cast magic to trace the source back to him because of this,

So, Zhou Changwang continued to eliminate traces with cleaning techniques, ensuring no sign of his presence was left in the manor, and quietly left through the main gate, returning to his courtyard under the cover of darkness.

...

"I didn’t expect this top-grade spiritual artifact Qiankun Tripod to still be in Xue Tong’s possession.

Luckily, I went to investigate specifically.

Luckily, I got the key to his manor’s main gate from someone.

Luckily, Xue Tong was also interested in methods for enhancing spiritual root talent, which made him keep Five Poisons for experimentation..."

Zhou Changwang waved his hand, and a massive pill furnace appeared before him, satisfaction gleaming on his face.
