Chapter 301: Chapter 177: Condensing Pill Water Acquired, Smoke Mist Illusion, Secret Mansion

The spirit technique is named ”Smoke Mist Illusion.”

According to the jade scroll’s records.

The Smoke Mist Illusion originated from the Smoke Mist Mountain Range, eternally shrouded in fog. Master Void, who resided there, observed the changes of morning mist and evening smoke within the mountains and gained insight into the wonders of nature’s fleeting changes. He integrated these mercurial elements into a body technique, thereby creating the spirit technique known as Smoke Mist Illusion.

The Smoke Mist Illusion is renowned for its illusion and transformation.

Its power doesn’t lie in direct destruction, but in making the user as changeable as the smoke and mist, making it impossible for opponents to capture their true form. Its strength lies in navigating any environment as if unimpeded, with even the keenest adversaries finding it difficult to discern the true position of the cultivator.

However, wishing to cultivate this spirit technique.

Requires the aid of a spiritual object known as the ”Illusion Firework Essence.”

The Illusion Firework Essence is derived from the Illusion Fireworks, which bloom only once a year at specific locations in the Smoke Mist Mountain Range. Its petals contain the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and unpredictable energies; extracting its essence is an indispensable element of cultivating the Smoke Mist Illusion.

Of course.

Every spirit technique requires a certain level of talent and comprehension.

To cultivate the Smoke Mist Illusion, the cultivator must inherently possess an extraordinary foundation in body techniques, and their Divine Sense must be at least at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment. Moreover, understanding and distinguishing illusions is a substantial challenge for the cultivator. Only those with profound comprehension and adaptability to rapid changes can master this spirit technique.

After reading, Fu Molan handed the jade scroll to Yu Qingru.

With a slight frown:

”Patriarch, have you heard of the Illusion Firework Essence mentioned in the jade scroll?”

Fu Changsheng shook his head.

The Illusion Firework Essence might have become extinct in the current Cultivation Realm.

However.

Perhaps asking at the Wanning Commerce Association next time is worth a try.

According to the requirements mentioned for the Smoke Mist Illusion spirit technique, he himself has practiced the Ascension Step, and now his Divine Sense is even stronger than an average late-stage Foundation Establishment.

Thus, he is qualified for cultivation.

As long as he can find the auxiliary spiritual object, Illusion Firework Essence.

At the same time.

Fu Changsheng heard that familiar mechanical voice in his mind.

”Ding”

”You have added a Tier Three High-Grade spirit technique to the clan, earning two hundred and fifty Contribution Points.”

Immediately after.

The clan Contribution Points on the panel instantaneously climbed from six thousand four hundred and eighty to six thousand seven hundred and thirty.

Looking at the Contribution Points, a thought struck Fu Changsheng.

If the Illusion Firework Essence isn’t available at the Wanning Commerce Association, perhaps using the system’s Double Lottery would be an option. Previously, he was wary of wasting Contribution Points, but now, with over six thousand, he can give it a try. After all, he has ascended to a Ninth-Grade Family Head, and with fortune on his side, the likelihood of obtaining the spiritual object he wants through the Double Lottery should be greatly enhanced.

However.

The Illusion Firework Essence is a Tier Three spiritual object.

The system’s Double Lottery mostly yields Tier Two spiritual objects, with Tier Three being rare.

Therefore.

He shouldn’t foster too much expectation.

To avoid being disappointed later.

Fu Changsheng’s gaze fell on the ink-colored box in his hand, and with a technique, he dispelled the restriction, accompanied by a buzzing sound, causing dawn light to surge forth.

Subsequently, a pill bottle came into sight.

The pill bottle contained a spirit liquid, white tinged with green:

”Condensing Pill Water!”

Fu Molan exclaimed in surprise.

Fu Changsheng also breathed a sigh of relief; thus, his primary goal for exploring the ruins was achieved.

At this moment.

That familiar mechanical voice once again sounded in his mind:

”Ding”

”You have acquired Condensing Pill Water for the clan, earning seventy Contribution Points.”

Immediately after.

The clan Contribution Points on the panel instantaneously changed from six thousand seven hundred and thirty to six thousand eight hundred, just two hundred short of seven thousand:

”I wonder if reaching ten thousand Contribution Points will result in a system upgrade.”

Fu Changsheng held a vague anticipation.

He stored the Condensing Pill Water in the storage bag and turned to Yu Qingru, saying:

”Miss Qingru, I have other plans for this Condensing Pill Water. Your contributions made in the ruins will be recorded in your Identity Token, and you can exchange it for what you desire in the clan.”

”Thank you, Patriarch.”

The three arrived beside the Water Dragon Pool.

A green light flashed on Fu Changsheng’s index finger, and Xiaoqing emerged, the green light surging as its form expanded, transforming into a Cyan Python. With a light touch of his toes on the ground, Fu Changsheng landed on the Cyan Python’s back, beckoning:

”Molan, Miss Qingru, come up. Let’s take a look beneath the Water Dragon Pool.”

Both Fu Molan and Yu Qingru landed on the Cyan Python’s back successively.

”Hiss, hiss, hiss.”

Xiaoqing reluctantly swayed its body slightly.

Fu Changsheng soothed its mood, and only then did Xiaoqing, with the surge of cyan light, swing its tail and plunge into the Water Dragon Pool below with a splattering sound.

The pool’s bottom seemed abyssal.

The deeper they went.

The surrounding temperature dropped lower.

Eventually, Fu Changsheng and his companions had to condense a light shield to resist the chill.

”What exactly is hidden within this Water Dragon Pool?”

Compared to Fu Changsheng and Yu Qingru’s discomfort,

Fu Molan faintly sensed a kind of affinity.

Fu Changsheng, seeing this, estimated that the Bone Cold Spirit Fire, as indicated by the information, was likely not far from the pool’s bottom, and the passage was leading to the true Cave Mansion of the ruin’s owner.

After approximately an hour.

They finally saw a hazy white light flash before their eyes.

Accompanied by a splashing sound.

Xiaoqing leaped out from the pool’s bottom.

What greeted their eyes was a long, ice-sealed passage. Emerging from the pool, Fu Changsheng couldn’t help but shiver, finding the temperature here several degrees colder than in the pool.

Fu Molan, possessing an Ice Attribute Spiritual Root and cultivating the Su Girl’s Profound Ice Skill, an Ice Attribute Technique, found this place to be a paradise for her cultivation, and her eyes brightened as she said:
