Upon these words being spoken, even Lu Ping’s eyes could not help but light up.

Indeed!

The Divine Spring Essence Water, it has effects even on Divinity Transformation Stage cultivators, consolidating cultivation. What if a Nascent Soul cultivator takes it?

It would also consolidate cultivation, perhaps even enhance it.

The exact effect? A trial will reveal.

Even if the Divine Spring Essence Water doesn’t enhance cultivation, it wouldn’t harm the body.

There are a total of sixteen Jade Bottles. Lu Ping opened one and began to refine it.

Strands of blue-green liquid flew out, and under the refinement of Magical Power, continually merged into Lu Ping’s Elixir Field Nascent Soul.

After a while, Lu Ping’s expression showed slight joy.

Because he could clearly feel his cultivation had indeed slightly increased.

There’s a chance!

Continuing to refine the Divine Spring Essence Water, until a dozen hours passed, Lu Ping’s cultivation began to change, breaking through the bottleneck of the Fourth-Layer Nascent Soul, reaching the Fifth-Layer Nascent Soul.

"Hmm, this substance does indeed enhance the cultivation of Nascent Soul cultivators, my guess was correct."

The Void Celestial Extreme Saint’s clone said slowly with a slight smile.

"I’ll attempt to break through to the Sixth, Seventh Layer, there is still quite a bit of Divine Spring Essence Water."

Lu Ping responded, already eager to continue.

The Void Celestial Sword Spirit was also paying attention to Lu Ping’s cultivation dynamics at this moment.

Outside the hall, due to Lu Ping’s breakthrough in cultivation, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi changed, gathering towards Lu Ping, attracting the attention of some disciples of the Cyan Mountain Sect.

"What’s this commotion? Why is the Spiritual Qi here suddenly gathering so much?"

"It seems the Ancestor is inside the hall, I saw him enter not long ago."

"Ah, could it be the Ancestor causing this?"

"I think so, the Ancestor is always unfathomable, surely cultivating something."

"Indeed, indeed."

Among these discussions, Shanshan and Lu Yuanshan also came outside the hall, sensing the unusual Spiritual Qi around, associating it with Lu Ping’s actions.

"Master, his cultivation is about to increase again, what is he refining in there?"

As Lu Ping’s contracted Spirit Beast, Shanshan could clearly feel Lu Ping’s cultivation fluctuations, and extended her Divine Sense, curiously probing into the hall, seeing Lu Ping refining the Divine Spring Essence Water.

"Father is enhancing his cultivation?"

Standing beside Shanshan, Lu Yuanshan heard her muttering and couldn’t help but ask curiously.

"Indeed."

Shanshan nodded, glanced at Lu Yuanshan, and muttered again: "Your father is really impressive, when he left the Cyan Mountain Sect months ago, his cultivation was just at the Second-Layer Nascent Soul. How long has it been now? Upon returning, it’s reached the Fourth-Layer Nascent Soul."

"No, no..." As she spoke, she repeatedly corrected herself: "To be precise, now it’s the Fifth-Layer Nascent Soul!"

Fifth-Layer Nascent Soul!

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanshan revealed a look of surprise, and his eyes were filled with intense envy.

This time, his father must have encountered some good fortune while he was away.

Within the hall, Lu Ping was not paying attention to the situation outside, and naturally did not know that Lu Yuanshan, Shanshan, and numerous Cyan Mountain Sect disciples were gathered outside.

Tasting this sweetness, this Divine Spring Essence Water can enhance cultivation; Lu Ping continued refining the Divine Spring Essence Water.

As time passed unconsciously, another dozen hours went by. By this time, those gathered outside like Lu Yuanshan had dispersed, only occasionally paying attention to the situation here.

Lu Ping’s cultivation increased once more, reaching the Sixth-Layer Nascent Soul.

This improvement in cultivation brought a look of happiness to Lu Ping’s face.

Continue refining!

Continue refining!

In the following days, Lu Ping continued refining the Divine Spring Essence Water, his cultivation breaking through to the Seventh-Layer Nascent Soul, until the Eighth Layer, finally consolidating at the peak of the Eighth Layer.

Up to now, he found that continuous refining of the Divine Spring Essence Water no longer had any effect on his cultivation; he had become immune to this divine water.

"Be content. Leaping four Small Realms, from the Fourth-Layer Nascent Soul to the Eighth-Layer Nascent Soul, is already equivalent to hundreds of years of hard cultivation for others."

The Void Celestial Extreme Saint’s clone chuckled, somewhat wistful.

If his true self were also here, refining this Divine Spring Essence Water, his cultivation would surely improve.

Lu Ping opened his eyes, no longer continuing to refine.

"Rising four Small Realms at once, I am already satisfied. This Divine Spring Essence Water is truly miraculous."

Lu Ping said with a faint smile, the joy on his face unmistakable.

He tallied the number, finding that of the sixteen bottles of Divine Spring Essence Water, only eleven remained.

This time, five bottles were consumed, exchanging for a four Small Realms increase.

"The four Jiuhua True Monarchs each took only one bottle of Divine Spring Essence Water, and their cultivation should be able to rise by one Small Realm. But compared to you, how could they be as fortunate as you, acquiring so much Divine Spring Essence Water?"

"If this item were to be sold, its price would at least be in the tens of millions of Spirit Stones, and many Nascent Soul Stage cultivators would vie for it. Your luck is indeed good; this relic expedition greatly assisted you."

"Indeed, I didn’t expect that with just this Divine Spring Essence Water, I could obtain so much."

"What do you plan to do with what remains?"

Lu Ping pondered for a moment, then asked the Void Celestial Sword Spirit.

"Can you refine this as well?"

He wasn’t sure if the Sword Spirit could refine the Divine Spring Essence Water to enhance its cultivation.

"What, do you want her to refine some too?"

Before the Void Celestial Sword Spirit could reply, the Void Celestial Extreme Saint’s clone chuckled softly.

"Is there any issue with that?"

Lu Ping smiled wryly.

"Naturally no issue, she can refine and enhance her cultivation just like you, but it’s up to you whether you can part with it."

"There’s nothing to hesitate about."

Lu Ping smiled faintly and directly called out: "Please, senior, show yourself."

The Void Celestial Sword Spirit appeared, taking the form of a snow-clad female figure.

"Senior, please also refine this Divine Spring Essence Water. There’s still quite a bit left; I’ll leave four or five bottles for the Sect."

The strength of the Void Celestial Sword Spirit was at the Second-Layer Nascent Soul. Conservatively estimated, refining it, she could reach the Fifth-Layer Nascent Soul.

The Void Celestial Sword Spirit nodded slightly, quietly acknowledging Lu Ping’s goodwill, and without much courtesy, sat down cross-legged and began to refine the Jade Bottles.

Lu Ping watched for a moment and then continued to inventory the remaining items.

Now that his strength had reached the Late-stage Nascent Soul, he could attempt to refine that Five Elements Spiritual Treasure.

Lu Ping extended his Divine Sense, enveloping the Spiritual Treasure.

Refining a Spiritual Treasure is like refining a Magical Artifact, but it requires higher cultivation, at least Late-stage Nascent Soul.

Over time, this Spiritual Treasure gradually established a connection with Lu Ping, becoming Lu Ping’s Magical Artifact.
