第两千八百四十五章 三件宝物

Ginseng fruit, a legendary nine-heavenly spirit herb.

By all rights, it shouldn't exist in the Spirit Realm or the Demon Realm. It should only be found in the True Immortal Realm.

The Ice Soul Divine Snake truly lived up to its reputation as a true demon progenitor, offering such extraordinary treasures. For even old monsters at the Tribulation Transcending stage, ginseng fruit was something they dreamed of. Consuming it could greatly enhance one's spiritual power.

Nailong True Immortal had already reached late-stage Tribulation Transcending, so he might not need this item. But for Qianqian Fairy Lady, it would be immensely beneficial to her cultivation in the future.

Offering ginseng fruit as a wedding gift was impressive enough, but considering there were only three treasures, the Ice Soul Divine Snake truly showed great generosity.

Everyone couldn't help but admire.

Ice Soul gently tapped on the jade box and opened it. A dark jade bottle appeared before their eyes.

When the stopper was removed, two pill-sized medicinal pills emerged from inside. A faint fragrance also wafted out. However, none of the one hundred old monsters at the Tribulation Transcending stage could recognize them.

Nailong True Immortal was puzzled but his eyes lit up as he sniffed the air.

Could this be...

"Indeed, Lady Ice Soul and Sister Divine Snake wish you a happy marriage and early offspring," Ice Soul's gentle voice said.

The medicinal pills in this jade bottle were called "Early Offspring." For ordinary people, such a pill might not be worth much. It couldn't extend one’s lifespan or increase spiritual power. But for Nailong True Immortal and Qianqian Fairy Lady, it was invaluable—worth more than the ginseng fruit just given.

The laws of heaven naturally had their own rules. For ordinary people who got married, they could naturally have children to continue their lineage.

But for cultivators, gaining the ability to move clouds and mountains made having offspring much harder. Lower-stage cultivators might not notice any difference, but the higher one's cultivation stage, the more difficult it became to bear children.

For Nailong True Immortal and Qianqian Fairy Lady at this level, it was almost impossible to even think about it.

This was a fundamental law of heaven. Otherwise, their offspring would have资质 far beyond normal.

Take Guanghan True Immortal as an example; he had many wives after becoming a scattered immortal, but he couldn't remember how long he struggled before his daughter, New Moon Princess, finally arrived.

Because the birth of New Moon was so rare, he treated her like a precious gem. He spoiled her to no end, much like a mother might spoil her child.

New Moon's birth was a stroke of luck, but Nailong True Immortal and Qianqian Fairy Lady likely wouldn't have such good fortune. After all, the mother of New Moon had only been at the Yuanling stage back then.

Nailong True Immortal’s strength compared to Guanghan Junior was negligible, and Qianqian Fairy Lady was a mid-stage Tribulation Transcending cultivator. As dual cultivation partners, they would find it even harder to have offspring.

This was the most fundamental law of heaven. Even with Nailong True Immortal being an ultra-strong superpower, he still couldn't do much about it. Human effort had its limits.

As the saying goes, every loss has a gain. This principle also applied here.

Tribulation Transcending cultivators lived for millennia and could move clouds and mountains as easily as breathing. However, this made them unable to enjoy family life.

But not everything was absolute.

Guanghan True Immortal had New Moon Princess, which was good luck. But there was a mysterious medicinal pill that spread from the True Immortal Realm. Legend said it came in pairs—one for each gender—allowing even Tribulation Transcending cultivators who were dual cultivation partners to have children.

This medicine was originally called by its effects and named "Early Offspring." However, no recipe had been passed down, making it almost extinct today.

Few cultivators knew about this medicinal pill. Among the present Tribulation Transcending cultivators, only a few had heard of it.

Nailong True Immortal was an exception.

That's why he was so delighted. He had long been interested in this medicine but had no idea where to find it.

He hadn't expected someone to bring it right to his doorstep.

His expression of joy couldn’t be hidden.

Even Qianqian Fairy Lady was visibly happy. She had heard Nailong True Immortal talk about the pill, so she coveted it greatly.

"Two fair ladies, this is too generous. Please accept my humble bow in return for such a precious gift," Nailong True Immortal said as he bowed deeply, his sincerity evident.

Sss...

A gasp filled the air as the guests watching were left speechless. At their level of cultivation, they were all seasoned veterans who could tell if Nailong’s bow was genuine or not.

What kind of treasure made Nailong so happy?

As a late-stage Tribulation Transcending cultivator, Nailong True Immortal had an incredibly high standard for treasures, and most wouldn’t catch his eye. His current excitement suggested that the Ice Soul Divine Snake and two true demon progenitors must have put in considerable effort.

Ice Soul then opened the third jade box.

Everyone held their breath, eager to see what this last treasure was.

However, they were disappointed. Just because something is placed at the end doesn’t mean it’s the best.

It was a feather robe, which was indeed beautiful but not particularly significant for Tribulation Transcending cultivators.

Nevertheless, Nailong True Immortal was very satisfied. He had initially thought that the Ice Soul Divine Snake coming from the Demon Realm would have some ulterior motive, but seeing such precious gifts made him think otherwise.

For a while, Nailong True Immortal’s experience left him confused.

But as an ancient monster who lived for countless millennia, he quickly regained his composure.

Wait, if there's no reason to offer something, it must be either out of goodwill or ill intent. The Ice Soul Divine Snake was unfamiliar to me, and I once had a grudge with Ice Soul.

Although that past conflict has been settled, we have little in the way of friendship.

Why would they give such valuable gifts? Comparing them to Guanghan True Immortal and Queen of Qingqiu Kingdom, their offerings were far less precious than those from the Ice Soul Divine Snake.

They might not be as malicious as a rat offering a gift to a chicken, but these true demon progenitors likely had ulterior motives.
