Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2286: 163: Redemption

The Cloud Sky Sect’s treasure vault was not organized as Wang Ba had imagined, with rows of physical artifacts on display. Instead, it was comprised of individual, secluded chambers, each housing a single ledger that served as a catalog.

Moving without need for a guide, Wang Ba stepped inside and pressed his hand against the ledger. The surrounding formations flared to life instantly, projecting phantoms of his past battles where he had decapitated the Black-bearded Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva Qinglan, the Female Bodhisattva, and others...

A silent beam of light then manifested, inscribed with the words: ‘True Man Taiyi, credited for the decapitation of three Bodhisattvas, one Taoist Master, one Arhat, and one Demon Slave… total value: two hundred seventy-five million six hundred thousand credits (云贝).’

These credits functioned much like merit points, offering great convenience.

“This system is indeed efficient.”

Wang Ba gave a slight nod as he observed the active formations, not particularly bothered by the specific number of credits he had earned.

He opened the ledger and began flipping through the pages.

Inside, the Cloud Sky Sect had organized their vast collection into categories: spirit materials, elixirs, magic tools, puppets, spirit beasts, miscellaneous goods, spells, and more.

Every entry featured an illustration and a detailed description. One could finalize an exchange with a simple thought, making the process incredibly streamlined.

The list spanned everything from eighth and ninth-tier treasures down to basic spirit materials for those just starting their Qi Refining journey, with credit costs varying wildly between them.

A mere handful of credits could secure a massive haul of certain low-level spirit materials.

In contrast, rare elixirs like the ‘Tribulation Crossing Divine Pill’—which assisted Unification Cultivation experts in grasping laws and boosted the success rate of entering the Tribulation-Transcending Realm by thirty percent—required tens of millions of credits for just one pill.

“As expected of a Great Realm, to be willing to put such peak-tier treasures on display.”

Looking over the Tribulation Crossing Divine Pill and the various high-ranking treasures, Wang Ba felt a flicker of secret amazement.

However, upon further reflection, he realized it made sense.

Many of the treasures within this realm were essentially manifestations of Chaos Origin Substance.

Given the limitless supply of Chaos Origin Substance surrounding the Cloud Sky Realm, the Sect only needed to wait for time to pass.

For such massive Sects that existed alongside the realm itself, time was their most abundant resource.

Consequently, while many high-rank treasures were listed, most were renewable resources produced within the realm, such as materials for Alchemy and Artifact Refining.

Unlike the Sea of Chaos Realm, which relied on nurturing Innate Dao Treasures due to its limited domains, the craftsmanship here was highly advanced. They were capable of refining high-class magic treasures that rivaled upper-grade Dao Treasures in raw power.

Of course, since a Magic Treasure’s True Spirit assists its current master but makes it harder for a future owner to claim, most treasures here were modified to prevent a True Spirit from forming. While this slightly lowered their power compared to standard Dao Treasures, it allowed them to be mastered much faster.

Since Wang Ba already possessed several upper-grade and even top-grade Dao Treasures, these high-class magic tools didn't hold much appeal for him.

While reading the descriptions of the various magic tools, a realization struck him.

“The absolute limit for magic treasures crafted in the Cloud Sky Realm is roughly equal to an upper-grade Dao Treasure. This means that top-grade Dao Treasures must be incredibly scarce here…”

With this in mind, he moved quickly through the magic treasure category. He found that top-grade Dao Treasures were not only rare, but there were only seven or eight upper-grade Dao Treasures available for trade. Furthermore, none of them were focused on offense or defense, instead specializing in fire control or flight.

“It appears that even within the Cloud Sky Realm, Innate Dao Treasures are exceptionally rare. They aren't as common as in Zhang’s Ruins, yet they still hold immense value.”

He scanned the list further and found a section for recycling treasures in exchange for credits.

After a moment of thought, he placed an upper-grade Dao Treasure onto the list to test it.

A beam of light scanned the item, and the number ‘three million’ appeared in the air before him.

Wang Ba noted that the prices for upper-grade Dao Treasures on the list ranged from a few million to tens of millions, depending on how useful the item was.

After considering the rates, he decided the offer was fair enough.

He had a general grasp of the pricing now. Although some things seemed skewed, they were priced according to the Sect's internal stock, so there was no point in complaining.

Wang Ba then began a more thorough examination.

The foundation of a Great Realm like the Cloud Sky Realm was truly deep. Even though Wang Ba had encountered many rarities in the Sea of Chaos, he discovered several items in this ledger that he had never even heard of.

Of course, despite their rarity, very few items were actually useful to him at his current level of Cultivation.

Thinking of the Little Cang World, he felt a pang of nostalgia and picked out a few items that might be beneficial there.

He then moved on to the sections for spirit beasts and spells.

“Rebirth Technique…”

Wang Ba’s eyes locked onto a specific spell. A sudden realization hit him, and he focused his attention on it, pulling the full description to the forefront.

A few moments later, his face showed a look of understanding.

“So this is the technique the Chongyuan Patriarch used to facilitate Senior Jiang Yi’s reincarnation and return to the Little Cang World.”

It was a profound skill, though its direct combat results were mediocre and the cost was high. It allowed a cultivator with a lower cultivation base to be sent to a specific related domain while keeping their consciousness intact for rebirth.
