CHAPTER 267: CHAPTER 257: SPIRIT ROOT ENHANCEMENT (2)

"I wonder what Young Master Feng needs our help with?"

Tian Ji Zi asked curiously, and everyone’s eyes turned to Gu Chenfeng.

Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly and said, "I need a large quantity of powerful Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and I need them right away."

Upon hearing this, Tian Ji Zi gave a helpless bitter smile and said, "Young Master Feng, aren’t you putting us in a difficult position? The Commerce Association has been collecting ice attribute treasures lately, but they are just ordinary ice attributes. We haven’t heard of any powerful ice attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."

"Elder, you misunderstand." Gu Chenfeng chuckled and said, "I’m not looking for ice attributes; any attribute of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures will do."

Mie Yunkong asked in astonishment, "Any attribute of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures is fine?"

"As long as it’s not an ice attribute, Young Master Feng can take any of the powerful Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Commerce Association as he pleases," Tian Ji Zi said generously, not minding at all.

"Thank you," Gu Chenfeng cupped his fists in gratitude.

Mie Yunkong asked curiously, "Young Master Feng, why do you need so many powerful Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?"

"To enhance the grade of my Spirit Root." Gu Chenfeng smiled calmly, not hiding anything.

But those simple words left Mie Yunkong and Tian Ji Zi dumbfounded.

"Enhancing the grade of the Spirit Root?" Mie Yunkong asked in shock and disbelief, "Isn’t the grade of the Spirit Root innate? Can it actually be enhanced?"

"How can the Spirit Root be enhanced? This is simply unheard of." An elder was full of disbelief.

Tian Ji Zi, stunned, asked, "Young Master Feng, did I hear correctly? The Spirit Root can have its grade enhanced? How is that possible?"

They had lived in the Cultivation Realm for so many years and had never heard of a cultivator’s Spirit Root being enhanced.

If the Spirit Root could be enhanced, wouldn’t everyone have a Supreme Spirit Root?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Seeing the shocked crowd, Gu Chenfeng smiled lightly and said, "Of course, the Spirit Root can’t be enhanced, but I can."

"What? Young Master Feng’s Spirit Root can be enhanced?" Mie Yunkong and several elders exclaimed in unison, nearly popping their eyes out.

Gu Chenfeng’s response had stunned them.

To enhance the Spirit Root—how defying of the heavens is that?

Is Gu Chenfeng even human?

"Elder Tian Ji Zi, please take me there quickly." Gu Chenfeng smiled lightly, not intending to further explain.

"Alright..." Tian Ji Zi nodded dazedly.

A few minutes later.

Tian Ji Zi led Gu Chenfeng to the Commerce Association’s Treasure Pavilion.

A towering and majestic tower.

Tian Ji Zi said respectfully, "Young Master Feng, this is the Commerce Association’s Treasure Pavilion, housing many treasures, cultivation techniques, techniques, magical treasures, and powerful and precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Young Master Feng may take as you please."

"All the treasures can be taken freely?" Gu Chenfeng asked excitedly, seemingly in disbelief.

"Of course, as long as Young Master Feng likes them, you can take them," Tian Ji Zi nodded generously, then asked with a smile, "I just don’t know what kind of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures Young Master Feng needs?"

Gu Chenfeng answered without thinking, "Treasures suitable for cultivation at the Nascent Soul Stage or above will do."

Tian Ji Zi smiled and replied, "The first layer is suitable for Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, the second layer for Soul Emergence Stage, the third layer for Integration Stage, the fourth layer for Divinity Transformation Stage, and from the fifth layer onwards are extremely rare treasures."

"The Commerce Association truly has many treasures," Gu Chenfeng smiled happily. "By the way, Elder, please help me prepare a Cultivation Room as well."

"A small matter," Tian Ji Zi nodded again.

With that, Tian Ji Zi activated his spiritual power, formed a hand seal with one hand, and finally shouted a low "Open!"

The Five-Star Barrier enveloping the Treasure Pavilion rippled with a blue light, and the barrier disappeared.

Tian Ji Zi smiled lightly and said, "Young Master Feng, the barrier is open, please go in."

"Then I won’t be courteous," Gu Chenfeng entered the Treasure Pavilion excitedly, filled with anticipation.

As soon as Gu Chenfeng entered the Treasure Pavilion, he sensed a multitude of powerful and pure spiritual Qi.

When Gu Chenfeng saw the treasures on the first layer, he, accustomed to witnessing grand scenes, couldn’t help but be astonished.

Gu Chenfeng couldn’t resist exclaiming, "As expected of the Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association, just the first layer has so many treasures, much more than the Medicine God Hall."

Although the Medicine God Hall is a transcendent power, when it comes to treasures, it is far inferior to the Commerce Association.

On rows of exquisite wooden shelves, cultivation techniques, techniques, elixirs, magical treasures, divine weapons, and various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were neatly classified and displayed.

Gu Chenfeng watched the various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures while muttering, "With so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, even if they’re not ice attribute, with the Devouring Power, I can rapidly enhance my cultivation."

"However, for now, it’s more important to elevate my Spirit Root to the Supreme Grade. If truly powerful ice attribute Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures can’t be found, I can still devour other attribute treasures later."

After a brief glance, Gu Chenfeng went up to the second floor.

The second floor, like the first, had rows of exquisite wooden shelves full of various treasures.

The only difference was that the number of treasures was much less than on the first floor.

Gu Chenfeng waved his hand in the air, and a black scroll flew over, which he opened with a flick of his wrist.

"Spiritual Technique." Gu Chenfeng glanced briefly at it, then returned the scroll to its original place.

After a quick look around.

Gu Chenfeng proceeded to the third and fourth floors. The higher he ascended, the more precious the treasures became, though there were fewer of them.

Gu Chenfeng frowned and said, "Enhancing the Spirit Root requires immense power; the stronger the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the easier it is to advance to a Supreme Spirit Root."

"The Commerce Association gathered so many rare and precious treasures not easily. It’s best to take only a portion."

After figuring this out, Gu Chenfeng began to collect.

He took only a small portion of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the third, fourth, and fifth layers, while the remaining were taken from the first and second layers.

The first layer still had the most in quantity.

"With so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, they should be enough to elevate the Spirit Root to the Supreme Grade, and I can bring some for the senior brother as well," Gu Chenfeng mumbled to himself, then left the Treasure Pavilion satisfied.

Although the Ancient Divine Sect also had many treasures, they required completing certain tasks to get the chance to obtain them, which led to the disciples’ cultivation advancing slowly.

Naturally.

The Ancient Divine Sect is not a Commerce Association and has limited treasures.

At this moment.

Waiting outside the Treasure Pavilion wasn’t Tian Ji Zi, but the Netherworld King.

Seeing Gu Chenfeng walk out, the Netherworld King bowed respectfully and said, "Young Master Feng."

"Netherworld King?" Gu Chenfeng was somewhat surprised.

The Netherworld King said respectfully, "The Great Elder ordered me to wait here for Young Master Feng; the Cultivation Room is ready. Please come with me."

"The Great Elder really trusts me, doesn’t he? Aren’t he afraid I’ll take all the treasures away?" Gu Chenfeng slightly smiled, feeling comforted by such trust.

Tian Ji Zi not only allowed Gu Chenfeng to take any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures as he wished but also trusted him completely. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t even let you in the Treasure Pavilion.

The Netherworld King smiled happily, "The Commerce Association’s treasures are not something Young Master Feng would covet."

"Let’s go, take me to the Cultivation Room," Gu Chenfeng said with a slight smile.

With the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures adequately prepared, Gu Chenfeng couldn’t wait to enhance his Spirit Root.
