There are too many treasures here, all strange and unique. The cursed relics are even stranger.
Just now, he saw a comb.
That comb was very Mysterious.
Long Hair Black Stone Comb
Grade: Yellow Rank Low Grade
Contained Trait: Growth
Derived Divine Ability: Creation from Nothing
When Zhuang Buzhou saw it, he couldn't help but smile wryly. He strongly suspected that this cursed relic was formed from the lingering resentment of someone who suffered severe hair loss, unwilling to accept their fate after death, eventually evolving into such a cursed relic. cursed relics themselves represent the continuation of regret, or even something unattainable.
"Oh, this one seems pretty good."
As he continued to observe, Zhuang Buzhou suddenly stopped and looked closely. On a golden shelf, there was a rope. This rope looked like a simple straw rope, but it had various knots tied in it—some dead knots, some slip knots. Some were large, some small, and the spacing between each knot varied, making it seem quite unremarkable.
Rope of Memory
Grade: Profound Rank Nine
Contained Trait: Unforgettable
Derived Divine Ability: Retrospection, Pause
"A cursed relic with time attributes."
After Zhuang Buzhou finished reading, he was secretly startled. If he wasn't mistaken, this rope was likely used for knot-tying records, where each knot represented an event—large knots for major events, small knots for minor ones. This rope also symbolized the passage of time and the changing of years. Its Divine Ability was also Mysterious; it could retrace the past and pause time. If used well, it could reverse the tide in a life-and-death battle.
cursed relics with time attributes are the rarest kind.
"I have the space-time gourd, but the space-time gourd has now become a Companion Spirit Treasure and cannot be easily moved. It derives the Time-Space River and becomes part of the Other Shore Space. It can only grow stronger as the Other Shore grows stronger, so it cannot be easily used now that a companion world has been established. Within the world, it must lean towards time. If I want to forge a World Spirit Pool and nurture Dao soldiers, it would be best to use cursed relics with time and space attributes as building units. This could perfectly serve as one of those units."
Zhuang Buzhou pondered to himself, his mind rapidly working.
This Rope of Memory was placed on the golden shelf, and there was nothing wrong with it.
"Exchange!"
After a brief deliberation, he took out a red Fate Tablet and placed it into the frame where the Rope of Memory was located.
Whoosh!
The Fate Tablet touched an invisible Restriction barrier. Then, the barrier naturally dissipated. The Fate Tablet also disappeared. The Rope of Memory was now placed directly in front of him, available to be taken.
"This is just a straw rope."
When he held the Rope of Memory in his hand, its texture confirmed that it was indeed a straw rope. Yet, it was absolutely not ordinary. With his sensitivity to time and space, he could easily sense the special power of time contained within it.
Upon acquiring it, he immediately put it into his embrace, but as he did so, it was actually sent into the Other Shore.
For him, no place was safer than the Other Shore.
"Oh, there's also this thing."
As he continued to look around, Zhuang Buzhou suddenly let out a surprised exclamation.
He saw that in one of the storage compartments, a treasure was conspicuously placed. This treasure resembled a mushroom, indistinguishable from a root. However, it was entirely golden yellow, as if cast from gold.
Golden Spear
Grade: Yellow Rank Two
Contained Trait: Unyielding
Derived Divine Ability: Reproduction
"Amazing, which person, unwilling to accept their death, gave birth to this cursed relic? This is truly a treasure; possessing it could create a large Family." Zhuang Buzhou secretly clicked his tongue. Goodness, for countless men, this is a dream in life.
However, he felt that he didn't need it.
Such a treasure should be left for others who need it.
"This map is interesting."
After moving his gaze away from that treasure, he saw many other strange and unique treasures, even cursed relics, giving him a sense of having his eyes opened. Suddenly, a cursed relic caught his eye.
It was a map.
On the map, there seemed to be special routes and patterns.
Endless Mystery Map
Grade: Yellow Rank Four
Contained Trait: Mapping
Derived Divine Ability: Treasure Hunting
This is a map that can directly render the surrounding landscape and objects within several hundred li into a map, and it can also directly detect and search for specific items. In certain situations, this is a treasure map, full of the unknown and the Mysterious.
To Zhuang Buzhou, this cursed relic was also a rare good item. Once it grew, myriad treasures could be detected, and the path of future treasure hunting would certainly be very interesting. However, this was a cursed relic.
The Nine Orifices Exquisite Heart still had seven orifices that could fuse with Companion Spirit Treasures. Was it worth fusing with this Endless Mystery Map? This required careful thought and discussion.
"It's a good item, so I'll take it."
This was a treasure on the silver shelf, and it only required a white Fate Tablet, which he could afford. So, without much hesitation, he pondered for a moment and exchanged a white Fate Tablet for this cursed relic, also putting it back into the Other Shore Space.
Then, he continued to search for suitable treasures.
With only two Fate Tablets left, his subsequent selection needed to be even more cautious.
To be honest, he really wanted all the treasures here. If he could take them all, he would be rich. Unfortunately, he couldn't move anything here; rash action would only lead to eternal damnation.
"Oh, a gourd."
As he looked around, a treasure appeared before his eyes.
What first caught his interest was its appearance: it was a vine, and a gourd hung from it.
Regardless of what they are, among various treasures, some treasures formed in certain shapes can be very special.
For example, bells, tripods, towers, seals, gourds, and so on. These are the most special. Also, among Spiritual Roots, plant-type Spiritual Roots are also very special; they possess unusual growth potential.
Therefore, as soon as Zhuang Buzhou saw this vine, a natural sense of curiosity and anticipation arose within him.
Because this was a cursed relic.
A vine evolved from a cursed relic.
wish-fulfilling creation vine
Grade: Yellow Rank Seven
Contained Trait: Creation, Wish-Fulfilling
Derived Divine Ability: Medicine Immortal Gourd
"Two traits. The gourd on it is its derived Divine Ability. This Medicine Immortal Gourd can actually refine medicine and Alchemy. As long as there are corresponding Pill Formulas and medicinal formulas, it can easily refine the corresponding Medicinal Pills. If Alchemists or pharmacists saw this Divine Ability, they would probably go mad with desire. They would truly flock to it."
Zhuang Buzhou's eyes lit up.
Two traits already put it beyond the scope of normal cursed relics. Whenever they appear, they are definitely top-grade among cursed relics and possess extremely strong potential.
The problem is, with such a cursed relic, the curse must be even more terrifying.
The kind that could be fatal at any moment.
According to this pattern, the curse of the wish-fulfilling creation vine must be extraordinary.
Moreover, this required a red Fate Tablet for exchange.
"Exchange or not?"
A thought flashed through Zhuang Buzhou's mind. This was a question. There might be better items later, but he genuinely wanted this one. If he obtained it, even if he wasn't an Alchemist, he could still rival one.
The importance of Medicinal Pills to Cultivators is indispensable sustenance.
"Exchange."
A few glints flashed in his eyes. Finally, he made up his mind, took out a red Fate Tablet, and took hold of this very special wish-fulfilling creation vine. The vine felt very peculiar in his hand, neither metal nor jade, yet he sensed a special texture and vitality. It seemed as if the vine itself was alive. However, for some reason, he felt an uncomfortable illusion in his heart.
"The curse within this vine must be unusual; I can't touch it for too long."
Zhuang Buzhou's heart tightened. This feeling was extraordinary, and he didn't dare to touch it for long. He immediately put it into the Other Shore Space to deal with it after he left.
"With this wish-fulfilling creation vine, I can refine a rich quantity of Medicinal Pills and precious medicines. This can greatly enrich the variety of items that can be traded in the Other Shore Space, satisfying the needs of more people."
Some people who enter the Other Shore Space may not be for longevity; they might be for other reasons. Having the means to refine Medicinal Pills greatly enriches one's own foundation. This alone makes it worth acquiring.
"I have the Medicine Immortal Gourd, but I can't be without Spirit Medicine. The Other Shore Space can plant Spirit Medicine. After I leave, I still need to buy some medicinal seeds from a pharmacy. I also need to collect more types of Spirit Medicine. The thousand-year ginseng from before had vitality, which was decent, but its cost-effectiveness wasn't very good."
Zhuang Buzhou mused to himself.
He already had a concept in mind, but whether it would succeed still required him to try it after returning.
He quickly walked towards the bronze shelf. Now he only had one black Fate Tablet, so the items he could choose from could only be on the bronze shelf.
He could see that the quality of the treasures on these shelves had clearly dropped by more than one level.
Moreover, there were more of them.
Soon, a suitable treasure appeared before his eyes.
hundred herb pouch
The pouch contains a hundred types of Spirit Medicine and Spirit Plant seeds, of varying categories, some precious, some common. The Spirit Medicine seeds in each hundred herb pouch are different. Random selection, entirely dependent on one's luck.
There were many such pouches on the shelf.
They were all seeds.
Whether one could pick valuable seeds inside depended entirely on oneself. It was possible to only get some common Spirit Medicine, or it was possible to obtain top-tier Spirit Medicine seeds far exceeding the value of the Fate Tablet.
"This is gambling on luck."
Zhuang Buzhou couldn't help but laugh wryly. He had avoided the Gambling Den Tower, but he still couldn't avoid the word 'gambling'.
Of course, he wouldn't give up because of this.
These were two different matters.
He took out a Fate Tablet and randomly selected a hundred herb pouch.
Then, he glanced at the many treasures in the Treasure Tower, withdrew his gaze, turned, and strode out.
"No matter how good this place is, it ultimately doesn't belong to me. One day, I will build a treasure pavilion far superior to this one. A journey of a thousand li begins with a single step, and I shall strive relentlessly."
Zhuang Buzhou secretly sighed with emotion, then walked out with a carefree attitude.
"What a good Heart-Nature, what a good demeanor."
There were still many people in the tower. Witnessing Zhuang Buzhou stepping out without any reluctance, they all sighed in admiration.
