Chapter 163: Green Fern the Sugar Mama! Lavishly Spoiling Wang Shouzhe (Part 4)
The entire Wang family only obtained one Immortal Spirit Stone from the Blood Venerate's ruins, and it is now listed in the family treasure house's exchange catalog, with the required contribution points being an astronomical figure.
It's like a lofty bait, urging the clan members, the head of household, and the tribute to diligently accumulate contribution points.
Green Fern's generosity is truly immense.
Wang Shouzhe was instantly dazzled, nearly sinking into the temptation.
He mustered all his willpower, barely resisting the allure, and pleaded with great difficulty, "Senior Sister, please don't do this. In this world, just because you have money, it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want."
"Foolish, really too foolish." The Third Prince was so stimulated that he was almost brought to tears, "These are three Immortal Spirit Stones~! At this price, I guarantee you can even buy them from His Majesty the Demon Emperor at my home. Great Goddess Wei, why don't you consider our Old Ancestor? I can help make the connection and even take an intermediary fee."
"I'm not considering it. I only want my junior brother's." Green Fern senior sister sternly refused.
"By the way, Senior Sister," Wang Shouzhe quickly changed the subject, "Where did you get these top-quality Spirit Stones, Immortal Spirit Stones?"
"Isn't it the Shared Space Treasury?" Green Fern senior sister casually explained, "Because there are many laboratories, and they are not all in the same place, to make it convenient, naturally, a Shared Space Treasury is needed, so that no matter which laboratory, resources can be directly drawn from the Shared Space Treasury."
With her mentioning it, Wang Shouzhe remembered.
He had also heard about this thing at the Divine Martial Dynasty Rookie Training Camp.
Back then, the Artifact Spirit at that camp took reward materials from the public treasury. He had even exploited a bug to gather numerous top-quality treasures from the shared treasury.
"Senior Sister knows how to create such a Shared Space Treasury?" Wang Shouzhe suddenly became excited.
The utility of such a treasury is immense; if access points for depositing and withdrawing were placed in every country, shared space would save a lot of freight costs, wouldn't it?
"I'm not specializing in the Path of Space, how could I create such a thing?" Green Fern senior sister shook her head as a matter of course, "And besides, creating this shared space consumes a lot of resources, and the volume that can be expanded inside is very small, with each deposit and withdrawal also consuming a considerable amount. Unless it's particularly valuable, strategic material, you shouldn't use it; it would incur a loss."
Uh... okay.
Green Fern senior sister's words directly blocked the route of transferring large quantities of material through shared space.
However, even so, Wang Shouzhe thought this thing was very useful, such as some Dao-level Items, Edict of the Immortal Emperor, and some life-saving materials, which can completely be stored in the shared treasury.
In the future, if any important clan member needs to use it, they can transfer it through the shared treasury.
It's just a pity that this kind of shared treasury seems very complicated. It's unknown whether it requires a True Immortal Realm expert specializing in the Path of Space, or an even higher-level expert...
Wang Shouzhe temporarily suppressed this thought and asked Green Fern senior sister, "Then is your cultivation technique's inheritance resolved? Is there any inheritance secret like the True Immortal Scripture or the True Demon Sutra in the treasury?"
Actually, from a broad perspective, both the True Immortal Scripture and the True Demon Sutra are of the same level of secret, and both the True Demon and True Immortal belong to the same tier of experts, it's just that the paths taken are somewhat different, and demon and immortal are not absolutely distinct.
For instance, the Blood Venerate is a typical example. Although this big shot cultivated the orthodox Sacred Gu Codex, because of his crazy style, he was categorized as a 'demon head'.
"No True Immortal Scripture." Green Fern senior sister shook her head, then took out a vibrant green codex from the Spiritual Platform, explaining, "There's only this Half-step Immortal Sutra level [Emerald Emperor Codex]."
[Emerald Emperor Codex]? Could this be the subsequent inheritance of the Emerald Emperor's True Method that he previously cultivated?
Wang Shouzhe was first stunned, then suddenly felt something was off: "Half-step Immortal Sutra? Can't the codex be deduced to Immortal Scripture even after reaching the True Immortal Realm?"
Back then, he spent a lot of money to buy the inheritance of the Emerald Emperor's True Method once.
It's just that [Emerald Emperor's True Method] did not fully fit Wang Shouzhe's bloodline, and it couldn't bring his bloodline talent into full play.
He didn't expect that the person of Demonic Plant Honored One practiced would actually be the inheritance of the Qing Huang lineage.
"Kid, what do you understand?"
Upon hearing Wang Shouzhe's question, before Green Fern could speak, the Emerald Emperor Codex voiced its discontent.
She fluttered her pages, grumbling unhappily: "Who told you that cultivating to the True Immortal Realm certainly means you can deduce the codex to [Immortal Scripture]? That's a misunderstanding typical of an outsider."
"Every Immortal Scripture represents a complete path, guiding eligible inheritors to smoothly break through to the True Immortal Realm."
"In general, to complete an [Immortal Scripture], one either encounters a prodigy with remarkable talent and comprehension, or relies on multiple generations of inheritors to complete and perfect it from different perspectives. The more generations it's passed down, the more complete and smoother the path becomes, and it gradually becomes stronger."
Wang Shouzhe was not angry at being scolded, instead, he respectfully inquired, "Then, may I ask, Senior, how is the Half-step Immortal Sutra different from a regular codex?"
"A Half-step Immortal Sutra is at least a Transcendent Void Codex that has raised a True Immortal Realm. Possessing this level of Transcendent Void Codex, provided the bloodline and resources are sufficient, gives the inheritor at least a thirty percent chance to break through to the True Immortal Realm," explained the Emerald Emperor Codex, "Moreover, as the number of inheritors later breaking through to the True Immortal Realm increases, the codex will be further perfected, and the success rate of subsequent generations in advancing will become increasingly high because predecessors have already paved the way for successors. As such, after three to five generations of True Immortal Realm inheritors, the codex may upgrade to an Immortal Scripture."
"An Immortal Scripture is different; it represents an already perfected True Immortal path where successors can straightforwardly cultivate and traverse the Path of True Immortality."
"As for a normal codex, its levels are numerous; the weakest codex only helps one advance to the early stage of the Void Realm, with the subsequent path relying on oneself. If more people tread it, or if one encounters a prodigy with strong enough bloodline and intellect, the codex will gradually become stronger until becoming a Half-step Immortal Sutra."
The Emerald Emperor Codex's orderly explanations immediately made Wang Shouzhe understand the differences between a codex, Half-step Immortal Sutra, and Immortal Scripture entirely.
Immortal Scripture is like having a particularly excellent teacher from whom you just follow along. If the teacher isn't strong enough, you must become self-reliant.
In other words.
If Wang Shouzhe wants to advance to a True Immortal, assuming abundant cultivation resources, he either pushes his bloodline talent to an extremely remarkable level and flies along with the codex…
Or, he finds a Half-step Immortal Sutra and gambles on the odds.
Of course, the simplest is to find a proper [Immortal Scripture] to be carried through it. Although, for today's Profound Martial cultivators, finding an Immortal Scripture is actually not easy at all.
Just as Wang Shouzhe was pondering.
The floor of the reception room suddenly began to quake violently, even the surrounding walls were constantly shaking and trembling. If it weren't for all the items in this reception room being fastened with prohibitions, they might have long been in a mess under such tremors.
At the same time.
There was also a great "clang clang" noise coming from deep within the research institute.
Seeing this, the Artifact Spirit Lan Shan's voice sharply changed: "Oh no, that monster has awakened again!"
