Chapter 1223 365: Tempering the Body with Heavenly Tribulation, Advancing Beyond the 100-Foot Pole! (Part 2)
Ancestor Wanxiang explained one by one.
"A hundred Immortal Crystals?"
Lu Changsheng frowned.
This price was indeed very high!
What kind of treasure would be worth a hundred Immortal Crystals?
Moreover, if it were truly a great treasure, it would have been sold long ago.
There's no way it would be a bargain for Lu Changsheng.
This treasure probably hasn't sold yet.
"Fellow Daoist Wanxiang, what kind of treasure might this be?"
Lu Changsheng asked.
"Actually, it's an incomplete treasure. I've had someone bring it here for Fellow Daoist Ascension to take a good look."
With Ancestor Wanxiang's instructions,
very soon, a treasure was brought before Lu Changsheng.
"Hmm? This is... a mountain?"
Lu Changsheng was a bit surprised.
What did he see?
A peak of a mountain!
This treasure actually turned out to be a mountain peak?
This was truly... insane!
"Fellow Daoist Ascension, this treasure is called Tribulation Mountain."
"Yes, as the name suggests, it's meant to be refined with Heavenly Tribulation. It looks like a mountain, but it's actually many mountains."
"The material is also very rare, a precious soil from within the Boundary Sea, each piece extremely heavy."
"Originally, the plan was to rely on the Heavenly Tribulation Power to completely fuse Tribulation Mountain, and then it would naturally carry the Heavenly Tribulation Power. Once refined, the treasure might even become an Immortal Treasure!"
"Unfortunately, it failed. Under the Heavenly Tribulation, Tribulation Mountain was destroyed and couldn't be fused. To reforge it would require immense effort. In fact, these materials are worth more than a hundred Immortal Crystals, but alas..."
Ancestor Wanxiang shook his head.
When he first saw the treasure, he couldn't stop shaking his head.
Such wastefulness!
It was just too wasteful!
These precious materials were worth hundreds of Immortal Crystals.
In the end, the refinement failed, which was truly a waste.
And now they're still selling it for only a hundred Immortal Crystals, yet no one is interested.
The failed Tribulation Mountain is useless in battle, nor can it assist.
It can only be broken down for some materials that might have use in crafting other treasures.
But even when broken down, it won't sell for a hundred Immortal Crystals.
So, the treasure remains consigned at the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce, yet still unsold.
However, Lu Changsheng's eyes brightened.
The Heavenly Tribulation Power within the Tribulation Mountain, Lu Changsheng could sense it.
This indicated that there was indeed Heavenly Tribulation Power within, and quite a bit of it.
Others may not be able to sense it, but he had forged the Red Dust Immortal Foundation.
He could decipher the Heavenly Tribulation Power.
Though a hundred Immortal Crystals was not a trivial amount.
But Lu Changsheng wasn't concerned.
"Fellow Daoist Wanxiang, I'll be taking Tribulation Mountain with me."
"I'll have someone deliver the hundred Immortal Crystals."
With that, Lu Changsheng grabbed the Tribulation Mountain with a large hand.
It was extremely heavy.
Even with Lu Changsheng's strength, it felt quite heavy.
Ancestor Wanxiang nodded.
He wasn't worried that Lu Changsheng hadn't provided the Immortal Crystals yet.
Given Lu Changsheng's current status and position, he surely wouldn't resort to "forced buying" tactics.
He had some reputation to maintain.
However, Lu Changsheng didn't intend to pay the hundred Immortal Crystals from his own pocket.
Someone else would provide the hundred Immortal Crystals!
Lu Changsheng left the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce and immediately headed to the City Lord Mansion.
He personally met with Ancestor Qingtian.
He briefed him on the matter of Tribulation Mountain.
Ancestor Qingtian was quite understanding, smiling as he said, "No problem, it's just a hundred Immortal Crystals. As long as it helps the Daoist withstand the triple Heavenly Tribulation, that Tribulation Mountain is my gift to Fellow Daoist Ascension."
Lu Changsheng nodded, "Then I'll be in your debt, City Lord."
And so, Lu Changsheng turned and left.
Yes, Lu Changsheng needed Tribulation Mountain, but he wouldn't purchase it himself. Instead, he had Ancestor Qingtian buy it.
Ancestor Qingtian readily agreed.
To Ancestor Qingtian, helping him overcome the Heavenly Tribulation was the most important thing.
Everything else could be set aside; they weren't important at all.
Lu Changsheng returned to his Cave Mansion.
He took out the Tribulation Mountain.
The idea of the one who attempted to refine Tribulation Mountain was quite good.
To use Heavenly Tribulation Power in an attempt to refine an Immortal Treasure.
Even if it wasn't an Immortal Treasure, its Power wouldn't be much less than that of an Immortal Treasure.
Immortal Treasures are usually crafted by mighty figures in the Immortal Realm.
For someone not in the Immortal Realm to attempt crafting a treasure comparable to an Immortal Treasure isn't easy.
However, luckily they failed in refinement, otherwise how could Lu Changsheng have found such a bargain?
Tribulation Mountain was very heavy.
If it had been successfully refined, its Power would indeed be terrifying.
With the Heavenly Tribulation Power, it would undoubtedly be a formidable treasure.
Yet Lu Changsheng didn't wish to refine treasures; he had no thoughts of reforging or repairing it.
That wasn't on Lu Changsheng's mind.
The Tribulation Mountain held residual Heavenly Tribulation Power, and even a slight sensing let Lu Changsheng feel it.
Even with just a small amount of residual Heavenly Tribulation Power, it caused Lu Changsheng's heart a faint unease.
A sense of dread.
"Heavenly Tribulation Power..."
Lu Changsheng carefully sensed again.
"This should be Thunder Tribulation Power."
"And Wind Tribulation Power, Fire Tribulation Power..."
"Various kinds of Heavenly Tribulation Powers, nearly all present."
Lu Changsheng's eyes brightened.
He carefully extracted a trace of Heavenly Tribulation Power.
It was the Thunder Tribulation!
"Rumble."
Though no thunder was in the sky,
a muffled thunder echoed in Lu Changsheng's mind.
The thunder rolled, as if shaking his spirit.
It threatened to shatter his spirit and consciousness.
"This is..."
"Heavenly Thunder?"
Lu Changsheng's heart shook.
Though the thunder rolled, causing him to freeze,
he was ultimately a top-tier Ancestor Realm cultivator and even had forged a Myriad Spirits Immortal Body Foundation.
