"Items that enhance the upper limit of physical fitness are the simplest kind, yet they allow combat abilities to develop the fastest. Typically, though, the limit-breaking elixir pills produced here are all given to super-powerful experts. In the later stages of war, the consumption of this type of elixir pill is enormous, second only to the elixir pills and Immortal Herbs used for healing and saving lives. That's why there are only a few dozen left!"
The Almighty Demon Vine's explanation didn't surprise Wen Yu. If he were on the verge of death, he certainly wouldn't care about treasures or elixir pills.
He opened the dozens of boxes one by one. Seeing the variously colored spirit herbs and elixir pills inside, Wen Yu felt incredibly fortunate.
If he had chosen not to enter the Heavenly Palace Treasure Land due to various concerns, he might still be on his way to India right now, calculating how many physique points a single battle could increase.
Wen Yu carefully examined the dozens of items one by one. Afterward, he estimated the total increase to the upper limit of physical fitness these items could provide.
There were 39 items in total, increasing the upper limit of physical fitness by 9,964 points!
Considering only the upper limit of physical fitness, the enhancent from the Esoteric Level items wasn't particularly large—the three dicinal herbs gardens outside had provided Wen Yu's three soul pets with a total increase of about 30,000 physique points.
This barely qualified as average.
However, the biggest difference between elixir pills and spirit herbs lay in the various bizarre applications of the elixir pills.
The Almighty Demon Vine's branches moved unceasingly, swiftly picking out various elixir pills for Wen Yu.
"These improve Soul Strength, these reduce skill consumption, and these can add other Attributes to skills. Use them as you see fit!"
"These can temporarily improve your strength during battle, these are for healing and saving lives, and these are for sinister characters."
The finished elixirs and pills here had far more varied and potent effects than the spirit herbs from the outside world; so much so that Wen Yu felt overwheld by the sheer number of choices. He could only follow the Almighty Demon Vine's explanations, his gaze constantly shifting from one item to another.
"This is a Soul Nurturing Pill, an Esoteric Level item. It can nourish the Soul and heal injuries to the Soul. There are three in total. I need one."
Looking at the three thumb-sized elixir pills before him, Wen Yu didn't doubt the Almighty Demon Vine in the slightest and nodded decisively.
"No problem."
The Almighty Demon Vine had certainly proven its worth. To Wen Yu, giving one elixir pill to the vine was of no consequence. In fact, in his eyes, the Almighty Demon Vine was the fundantal reason for his trendous harvest. Right now, Wen Yu was willing to grant any request the Almighty Demon Vine made!
The Almighty Demon Vine, however, did not imdiately consu the Soul Nurturing Pill. Instead, it picked up another wooden box from the ground.
"What's in here is related to our upcoming plan. Take a look at its Attributes first."
The Spiritual Fluctuation from the Almighty Demon Vine imdiately put Wen Yu on alert. He had no idea what specific plan the Almighty Demon Vine had. In fact, this was the first ti the vine had even uttered the word 'plan'!
After contemplating for a mont with narrowed eyes, Wen Yu decisively picked up the wooden box in front of him, opened it, and looked inside.
...
Spirit Rhythm Immortal Pill (Esoteric Level item, semi-finished): Refined from five types of Esoteric Level Immortal Herbs. However, the Alchemist forcibly sealed it mid-refinent, and the final refining step was not completed. Refinent will be complete once Origin Energy from the Universe of Immortals and Heroes is added.
Complete effect after successful refinent: Provides the user with an aura of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes so authentic it can pass for genuine!
The Attribute description was just a single, simple line. After pondering for a mont, Wen Yu finally understood completely.
This was a key to changing his identity!
"According to this description, if I complete its refinent, I'll beco a 'counterfeit' life form of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes?"
"Correct."
The Almighty Demon Vine provided an affirmative answer.
"But what use would that be..." Wen Yu mused.
Identity, in his view, wasn't particularly important.
"The dead souls of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes identify friend from foe based on aura."
The Almighty Demon Vine's simple sentence was a complete wake-up call for Wen Yu!
If he possessed the aura of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, then within the Heavenly Palace Treasure Land, he would beco the only living 'native of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes'!
This identity would instantly reduce his enemies by more than half!
Often, turning enemies into allies was indeed the simplest and most efficient way to deal with them!
However, this item also raised another point of suspicion...
"Back then, when you guys refined this thing... it wasn't specifically for , was it...?"
Hearing Wen Yu's query, the Almighty Demon Vine imdiately fell silent.
...
Throughout their journey, the Almighty Demon Vine's performance had been nothing short of stellar. In the blacksmith's forge on the Second Layer of the Heavenly Palace, Wen Yu had obtained a large amount of Origin Energy from the Universe of Immortals and Heroes.
In the dicinal herbs garden on the Fourth Floor of the Heavenly Palace, he'd gained an increase of about 40,000 physique points to his upper limit and a heap of items that could either enhance combat power or serve as trump cards. This kind of power increase ant next to nothing for Wen Yu himself, but for his three soul pets, it was an absolutely explosive improvent!
The benefits were tangible, true, but the Almighty Demon Vine's furtive behavior along the way and the nurous coincidences inevitably made Wen Yu connect them to certain... possibilities.
Take, for example, this Spirit Rhythm Immortal Pill he was currently holding—what use could this thing possibly be to a native of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes?
No matter how Wen Yu looked at it, this item must have been left for him by the forr Almighty Immortal Emperor!
And once he considered this possibility, another thought struck Wen Yu—even his entry into the Heavenly Palace Treasure Land had likely been anticipated by the Almighty Immortal Emperor.
All of this, every step of the path he had taken, seed to be the machinations of the Almighty Immortal Emperor—these machinations were forming an unknown road, leading him towards so unknown destination.
Wen Yu and the Almighty Demon Vine remained silent for a long mont. Then, the Almighty Demon Vine slowly transmitted a Spiritual Fluctuation.
"Indeed, it was ant for you. No, that's not quite accurate. These things are for whover I bring back. My sole purpose is rely to bring you to the Eleventh Floor of the Heavenly Palace."
This explanation didn't satisfy Wen Yu. However, after several rounds of outwitting and scheming against the Almighty Demon Vine, Wen Yu knew firsthand how incredibly tight-lipped it could be, which he found deeply vexing. If the vine chose not to speak, Wen Yu had no way to compel it to reveal anything...
Besides, it was impossible for him to just leave this treasure land. Therefore, Wen Yu wasn't left with many options.
"How do I complete the Spirit Rhythm Immortal Pill? And what about that plan you just ntioned?"
Hearing Wen Yu's questions, the Almighty Demon Vine audibly exhaled, as if in relief.
This fellow... he's gained so much, yet he's still so incredibly suspicious...
