Grand Ancestral Bloodlines-Novel

Ryu's gaze glowed.

He rose to his feet, placing the books down and walking to a corner of the small hut.

Despite its size, there seemed to be a ridiculous amount of space inside, and everything was so neatly arranged and organized that it was all too easy to find exactly what he needed. Ryu had already noticed that this entire space was a treasure in and of itself, but that was a matter he would consider later. Right now, what he needed was exactly this…

Ryu touched one of the many spatial treasures here and his mind entered to find not only exactly what he needed, but almost too many of them.

As a Clan of Alchemists, the number of treasures related to the profession that the Frost Clan had was almost far too many. Among them, there were thousands upon thousands of incubators. Even the weakest of these incubators could accelerate the growth of Spiritual Herbs in a single day by hundreds of years. The absolute best of them could actually accelerate growth in a single day by millions of years!

However, using the best of them would be overkill for now. Ryu needed to first start with the Common Grade and only then would he work his way up, just like he had done when recultivating the Qi Realm. In fact, for the Common and Black Grade, accelerating their growth by even hundreds of years was quite ridiculous already.

The only unfortunate part was that all of these treasures were absolutely barren. As a Clan of Alchemists on the brink of destruction, how could the Frost Clan have not brought out everything they had in a bid for survival? Their incubators had all been stripped of the Spiritual Herbs they once had.

That said, that didn't mean there was nothing left. What the Clan had left behind were a large number of seeds. There were huge collections of seeds from the Common Grade all the way up to the True Grade. As for the Perfect, Transcended and Omniscient Grades, there were none.

But this also made sense. They would have likely used up all of these seeds as well in their attempt to survive.

Still, this was more than enough for Ryu. With this level of selection, he should only rarely need to procure seeds from elsewhere all the up to the True Sky God Realm. After that, he would have to rely entirely on him. But by then, Ryu was confident he would have partaken in even greater treasures than this.

Ryu picked out one of the weaker incubators. This one was a Heaven Grade treasure that allowed for 200 years of growth in a single day for Spiritual Herbs up to the Heaven Grade.

From what Ryu had read, the maturity of Spiritual Herbs in the True Martial World was different than it had been in Sacrum.

Common Grade Herbs only needed a few months to mature, and could often bloom twice or even thrice a year. Black Grade Herbs could often bloom once a year, and depending on the environment, even twice. Earth Grade Herbs took between two to three years, and Heaven Grade took up to a decade.

Beyond this, Sovereign Grade Herbs' maturity was counted in centuries, Ancestral Grade in millennia, and finally, Fragmented Grade Herbs began entering the realms of larger and larger totals, easily touching tens of thousands of years.

Still, these numbers were quite a bit faster than what Ryu was used to on Sacrum, although there was also more room for these numbers to truly become exaggerated, especially about the Transcended Grade.

With these incubators, Ryu's plans would be far simpler. Even if he made a mistake and wasn't happy with the result, he could simply wipe the incubator clean and start from scratch.

Once the incubator produced a result that he liked, that was where this wider treasure would come into play.

Ignoring Selheira's curious gaze, Ryu stepped out of the small hut.

The white grass touched his feet, the dark skies above shone down with a radiant gold moon. It was all quite beautiful.

If the Chaos Grade Soul Cultivation Technique was the most valuable technique in this place, then the most valuable treasure aside from maybe Flowing Frost's body was definitely this inner world.

From what Ryu could tell, this hidden space was a hidden pocket of the True Martial World. What did this mean? It meant that whether it was tribulations or the Heavens, it was all completely identical to the outside.

This sounded quite useless, but when one extrapolated its meaning, this was a great boon for Ryu.

Essentially, Ryu could concoct pills and potions, refine weapons and test out formations and yet still keep away from prying eyes, all while gaining all the benefits of Heavenly Favor!

Ryu could grow the perfect environment within an incubator, transfer it to this spacious world, allow it to take root, and once the qi settled down to his liking, he would begin the refinement process.

This was the absolute perfect treasure to make use of his [Refinement Sutra]!The source of this content is NoᴠelFɪre.net

Ryu was a bit worried about prying eyes. There would come a time where his Void Spiritual Sense wasn't enough, or he faced a tribulation too powerful for him to casually swat away, and he would end up putting his life in danger.

Also, he absolutely hated cultivating under the gazes of so many people. It exposed too much of his baseline and his secrets, but this would fix everything.

Ryu nodded in satisfaction and re-entered the hut before he immediately began reading everything he could find on Common Grade Spiritual Herbs of the True Martial World.

It only took him a few minutes to go through and memorize it all, but he entered meditation for at least three to four hours afterward.

When he opened his eyes, he returned to the stores of incubators and took out ten sets of different seeds.

With a thought, he seeded and prepared all ten Heaven Grade incubators.

Sometimes he put all the seeds in at once, at other times he would put in one at a time before acting again to do the same hours later, and sometimes he would put seeds in, in pairs of twos and threes.

'Of these ten methods I've thought of, there's a better than 97% chance that one of them will produce exactly the result I need. After I refine it, it could only take me about a day or two and going through about a dozen or so evolutionary cycles for me to produce the absolute perfect environment…

'By the time I finish with that, I should have the rest ready.'

The Feng Shui problem was fixed, now came the easier part… Integrating Lightning Refinement and Blueprint Refinement.

Ryu brimmed with confidence. Within a month, his Body Realm cultivation would catch up to his Qi Realm cultivation.
