AST 2046 - Why Was Shen Huang Here? (1/2)

”I can guarantee that your mother will definitely be able to see it. She'll also be able to see your children grow up and settle down with their jobs and families. I'm a physician. Trust me.”

Qing Shui's words had made tears flow out from Big Tiger's eyes. He didn't say any more words of appreciations. Even an honest man like himself knew that it was too hypocritical to be saying thanks.

He would remember Qing Shui's kindness and if he were to ever give up his own life for Qing Shui, he would do so without hesitation.

Qing Shui made arrangements for Big Tiger and his mother. Big Tiger's mother wasn't that old, but due to her illness, in addition to that they were poor and lived a tough life, she appeared a lot older than other people of her age.

After Qing Shui help treated her illness, she looked a lot more energized after a change of clothes. After all, she wasn't even 50 years old and in this world, where there was an abundance of spiritual Qi, people in their 50s would appear very young. This wasn't just applicable to cultivators, but to ordinary people as well.

Thankfully, Qing Shui had managed to heal her vitality. She would now become increasingly younger.

After settling Big Tiger down, Qing Shui recalled that he had not been studying the Treasure Basin. He had forgotten about it as some things popped up and unknowingly, two days had passed by.

Qing Shui took out the Treasure Basin and studied it carefully. In order to activate it, through letting it recognize him as its owner, 15 drops of blood essence were required. However, there were three drops in the middle of the process which required being filled in by half the amount of one drop of blood, and then having to wait for an interval of 15 minutes, 30 minutes, and 45 minutes.

After Qing Shui had completed the process, the Treasure Basin emitted a brilliant golden light and the ingots images gleamed in the golden light. The Treasure Basin extruded a luxurious and dignified aura, giving off an extravagant feeling of perfection, which made even Qing Shui interested.

Within a single moment, the Treasure Basin became big. It could become very big. Qing Shui then checked out the Treasure Basin's details. It was currently still at a very low level.

The Treasure Basin wasn't an attack-based treasure. Instead, its main effect was to gather treasure. However, it wasn't something which could gather silver and gold by itself. If it were indeed so and this thing were to exist in his previous life, it would be extremely valuable. However, to the current Qing Shui, gathering silver and gold was pretty meaningless to him.

The most important aspect of the Treasure Basin was to gather treasure, not money. The description of Treasure Basins in Qing Shui's previous life was too superficial.

Qing Shui's Treasure Basin had two uses. The first was to gather Qi. It could allow some things to nurture and be nourished within the Treasure Basin. For example, some medicinal pills could receive an increase in their effects. Spices could become more fragrant and ores could become higher in quality.

The other thing was that it could be used to merge treasures. It could merge two completely different things together. The item that was more powerful would engulf the weaker one's essence, allowing its quality and other aspects to become higher. There was a certain chance that there would be a metamorphosis and something new would be created. The new item would have the attributes of the items it was made of as a foundation. For example, metal could absorb some other things to become Tempered Meteoric Iron. It could undergo metamorphosis and become a few levels higher in quality, but would not become something mystical that was completely irrelevant.

Of course, there would be exceptions. The weaker of the two items might have that particular attribute. It might be weaker but was purer, and as such, even after the metamorphosis, the weaker item could possibly have its attributes merged into the new treasure.

Qing Shui was very satisfied with the Treasure Basin. This was definitely a precious treasure. As its level increased, it should become even more powerful. Qing Shui expanded the Treasure Basin and put in a lot of things. He didn't activate its ability to merge items and thus the things inside wouldn't engulf each other.

He had put in quite a number of medicinal pills and things like that to increase their quality. Fate Fruit, Ancient Demonic Fruit, Fortune Golden Pellet, Xiantian Golden Pellet... This Treasure Basin could expand to a length, width, and height of ten meters and many precious things could be placed inside.

As the Treasure Basin's level increased, this Treasure Basin should be able to expand even more. Currently, it was only at level one and Qing Shui noticed that it could increase an item's quality by 10%.

10% might not seem to be a lot, but it was definitely a worthy amount. After all, this was the lowest level and in the future, its level would increase a lot. Increasing an item's quality was sometimes better than increasing its quantity. Ultimately, there were things which each person could only take one of. In such situations, the higher the quality, the better it would be.
