Chapter 574: Chapter 260: Cultivation Technique Deduction, Gaining Two More Progeny, The Elder’s Twilight

Fu Changsheng’s gaze fell on Qiuu Shou’e’s storage bag. He cast a technique, and with a buzz, five-colored dawn light emerged, leaving only a few scattered boxes on the stone table.

Compared to the number of boxes Chun Erniang had, it was clearly much less:

"It seems Qiuu Shou’e hid the treasures somewhere else in advance."

The white base water-patterned box on the left opened.

A surge of abundant water spiritual qi rushed out instantly.

He looked closely.

Inside was a crystal-clear pearl, only the size of a thumb, yet it emitted a gentle blue glow.

With a beckoning gesture,

the pearl fell into his palm.

Carefully scrutinizing it,

it seemed the inside of the pearl had traces of spiritual qi flowing, like a spiritual spring gathered from small streams.

Fu Changsheng’s eyes brightened:

"It’s actually a Water Spirit Pearl!"

Although the Water Spirit Pearl was only Tier Two, it was extremely rare. For cultivators below the Purple Mansion level practicing water attribute techniques, it was simply an invaluable treasure. Not only could it accelerate cultivation speed, but it also provided pure water spirit power to aid in breaking through bottlenecks.

Most importantly,

the spiritual qi of the Water Spirit Pearl could be replenished after depletion, and it was not a one-time consumable.

He remembered Qingru had previously sent him a message that Ningning was practicing a water attribute technique.

He might consider giving this Water Spirit Pearl as a coming-of-age gift to her.

As soon as his thought settled,

a familiar mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his mind:

"Ding"

"You bestowed a rare Water Spirit Pearl to a clansman, gaining 160 clan contribution points."

At the same time,

the clan contribution points on the system instantly changed to 10,160.

Fu Changsheng stared closely at the panel.

This was the first time it surpassed ten thousand.

Previously, he never let the contribution points exceed ten thousand, or he used them before reaching the requirement, fearing the system would use them for upgrades, zeroing them out.

But now he urgently needed a system upgrade.

Because the current information detected by the system had become too limited for him, also, the highest-tier rewards from the system’s random draw were only Tier Two.

Time ticked by.

Yet the system remained unresponsive.

Fu Changsheng frowned slightly:

"Still can’t upgrade?"

It seemed he might need to accumulate twenty thousand clan contribution points, or even more, for the system to upgrade.

And he was hoping for the system’s assistance in deducing the subsequent cultivation techniques of the "Great Derivation Technique."

As Hongyu had mentioned,

the stronger the divine sense when opening the Niwan Palace, the larger the Purple Mansion Domain would be.

Apart from the "Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique," which could enhance the divine sense, he only had the "Great Derivation Technique" at hand.

He did not dare to hope to condense a First-Grade Golden Core.

But at least it must not be as poor as a Ninth Grade; otherwise, even with system support, the potential on the cultivation path would be extremely limited.

Thinking like this,

Fu Changsheng moved his mind immediately:

"Deduce the ’Great Derivation Technique’

Buzz!

The [Cultivation Technique Deduction] panel glowed with yellow light. With a substantial consumption of contribution points, golden runes began to take shape:

"The ’Great Derivation Technique: Third-Layer’ is the key realm for tempering the divine sense. Cultivators stay in a quiet chamber, with five hearts facing the sky, channeling Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into the body, converging into the Sea of Divine Sense....."

Fu Changsheng read quickly.

Scrolling to the end.

He noticed a conspicuous line of text below:

"Cultivating this layer is by no means easy. If the divine sense has any misstep, the spiritual net may collapse. Once the spiritual net is destroyed, the backlash force would surge, causing turbulence in the Sea of Divine Sense, like a storm raging in the Quiet Sea. The cultivator may suffer damage to the divine sense at best or fall into a coma at worst, even risking the dissipation of spiritual intelligence.

Only with the assistance of Thousand Marrow Jade, careful and gradual progress, can one steadily advance on this path of divine sense enhancement."

Thousand Marrow Jade?!

Fu Changsheng was momentarily taken aback upon seeing the name marked above.

The name of this treasure.

He had never heard of it before.

Nonetheless,

he didn’t dwell too much on it.

After all, the system relied on a piece of remnant and had already deduced a three-layer technique, which made him quite satisfied.

As for the Thousand Marrow Jade,

once he entered the Shadow Sect,

he should be able to find a way to exchange for it.

Fu Changsheng’s gaze focused on the system panel.

The clan contribution points had already dropped to one hundred.

However,

he gained a divine sense growth secret technique extremely scarce throughout the Great Zhou, which he could place into the clan’s repository for core clansmen with the potential to advance to the Purple Mansion to practice.

As soon as the thought settled,

the panel trembled:

"Ding"

"You have added the ’Great Derivation Technique’ Third-Layer cultivation technique to the clan, gaining 1,000 clan contribution points."

Fu Changsheng couldn’t help but curl his lips into a smile.

He continued to search through the items in Qiuu Shou’e’s storage bag:

"Huh, what’s this?"

Fu Changsheng was attracted by an exquisite jade box.

The jade box emitted a faint glow, with exquisite floral patterns carved on its lid.

The jade box opened.

A rich medicinal fragrance hit his nostrils.

Inside lay a spirit grass, with leaves crafted as if from emerald, and the stem shimmered with star-like specks:

"This is....."

Fu Changsheng suddenly became excited.

After checking multiple times,

he finally confirmed it was indeed Star Leaf Grass.

A spirit plant growing in areas rich in spiritual qi, possessing powerful healing effects. Whether external or internal injuries, as long as there was still a breath left, the Star Leaf Grass could pull someone back from the brink of death and even repair damaged meridians. For cultivators, this was a life-saving spirit grass that was incredibly hard to come by.

"I’ve struck gold!"

Fu Changsheng’s heart overflowed with joy.

Uncle Yu followed Meizhen to Jingzhou, laboring for ten years, and he felt somewhat apologetic. After all, Uncle Yu had been in the Fu Family for more than forty years, and he had only provided Uncle Yu with Snow Soul Pills a few times:
