Chapter 1851: Time Box

Suddenly, someone shouted, “Big Dipper! Big Dipper, what’s wrong with you? Why are you so pale?!”
Unknowingly, a big penguin had squeezed beside Song Shuhang at some point, starting to hit the box with its fat little wings.
“…” Song Shuhang.
Senior Seven and Dharma King Creation weren’t able to restrain Senior Copper Trigram, and he managed to run out of the kitchen?
It seems that Senior Copper Trigram’s will to live is very strong.
At this moment, Northern River’s Loose Cultivator’s shout could be heard from behind. “It’s over there! Don’t let it run away!”
Afterward, Seven and Dharma King Creation rushed over, carrying Penguin Trigram away.
Penguin Trigram did not toss about this time, and allowed Dharma King Creation and Su Clan’s Seven to take it away.
“…” Sage Monarch Spirit b.u.t.terfly.
“So what do we do with this foam?” Fairy Lychee stretched out her finger, lightly touching the foam. The foam, which was the size of a marshmallow, remained stuck to her finger.
Song Shuhang said, “This foam was produced by the liquefied tribulation lightning and the Big Dipper. I have no idea as to what its effects are.”
Fairy Lychee said, “Since the Big Dipper was added to it, could it perhaps have an effect on Sixth Stage cultivators?” Afterward, she placed the marshmallow-looking foam into her mouth, eating it like one would a marshmallow.
Song Shuhang said anxiously, “Wait, Fairy Lychee, we don’t know what its effects are! It might be poisonous…”
“Umh, it tastes good,” Fairy Lychee replied calmly. “Don’t worry, based on my years of experience adventuring, I’ve developed an intuition on what can and cannot be eaten. In addition to the good taste, this foam also comes with the same effect that the Big Dipper has; it can strengthen the Life Wheel of a Sixth Stage cultivator.”
Song Shuhang said, “Intuition is not omnipotent. I still think it’s better to be careful.”
“Hahaha, Shuhang, you’re just like Senior Yellow Mountain. You are like an old mother who worries too much.” Young Master Phoenix Slayer sat on a small wall, holding a wine gla.s.s with both hands while lapping and drinking the wine with his tongue.
“…” Venerable Yellow Mountain.
He glanced at Phoenix Slayer. In his head, he silently began to consider whether or not he should use the ‘muting technique’ on Young Master Phoenix Slayer.
However, Phoenix Slayer has the Black Dragon World’s Ancient Seal, and should be immune to mental magical techniques below the Eighth Stage because of that. I’m afraid that if I did want to ‘mute’ him, I would have to do so through physical means.
“Hehehe.” Fairy Lychee smiled sweetly. “Don’t worry about me. If I hadn’t been drunk, I would not have simply gone and eaten it. Under normal conditions, I’m a lot more sensible. Otherwise, if I had been like this all along, I would have died a long time ago with all of the adventures I have gone on.”
Sage Monarch Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue said calmly, “We should collect this foam first. Afterward, Medicine Master and I can conduct a thorough check of it and determine its effects. We can then decide what to do with it.”
“I share the same thought.” Song Shuhang waved his hand, and used his psychic energy to gather together all the ‘foam’ in the box.
He stored a portion of it inside a Celestial’s storage bottle, which he then stored in his magical bracelet. He then divided the rest into several small portions for Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, Sage Monarch Spirit b.u.t.terfly, Venerable Yellow Mountain, and Senior Medicine Master.
They were the few seniors in the Nine Provinces Number One Group who had the ability to investigate what the foam consisted of.
Afterward, Song Shuhang used his psychic energy to pull the Big Dipper out of the box.
“Senior Song, the Big Dipper has lost its color,” Soft Feather and the black-skinned Soft Feather said in unison.
“Yes, Soft Feather, I can see that.” Song Shuhang grabbed the huge Big Dipper.
I wonder what happened to the effects of the Big Dipper after it lost its color…
It couldn’t have turned into a low-grade Big Dipper from a super-grade Big Dipper, right?
At this time, a fairy in a pink s.h.i.+rt, who was behind Fairy Lychee, said, “Senior Tyrannical Song, can you show me the Big Dipper in your hand?”
She was Fairy Lychee’s junior sister, Fairy Nectarine. She was an expert in Big Dipper research, so back when the group had been fighting for the Big Dipper, Fairy Lychee had brought her along.
“Fairy, you don’t need to call me senior. You can simply call me by my name or directly address me as Tyrannical Song,” said Song Shuhang. After saying that, he handed the Big Dipper to Fairy Nectarine.
Fairy Nectarine gave a meek smile before taking the Big Dipper, beginning to study it.
Song Shuhang asked worriedly, “Is there any problem with this Big Dipper? The grade hadn’t been lowered, had it?”
This Big Dipper was very important to the Sixth Stage members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group. It was the treasure that he and his seniors had fought for and s.n.a.t.c.hed together. If its grade was lowered… then the only way they would be able to get a Big Dipper of such a high level was by buying one from Fairy Almighty Seller!
Song Shuhang glanced at Fairy Almighty Seller from the corner of his eye, and he made up his mind.
Although he was poor, as long as he had thick enough skin, he could always borrow spirit stones from others.
It wasn’t scary to owe debts. What was scary was unknowingly finding yourself owing greater and greater debts, but still having the cheek to borrow more.
“Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song, you don’t need to worry. The Big Dipper’s grade has not decreased.” Fairy Nectarine handed the Big Dipper back to Song Shuhang. “It’s just that after being soaked for so long, its energy was drained. However, if you bury it underground in a place with sufficient spiritual qi for enough time, it should recover its color.”
“That’s good.” Song Shuhang let out a breath of relief.
Immediately afterward, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He had found another huge opportunity to make money!
After tasting the foam. Fairy Lychee said that it still had some of the effects of the Big Dipper. In other words, the foam could strengthen the Life Wheel of a Sixth Stage cultivator. As for how strong the effect was, they could test that after sobering up.
Besides that, the Big Dipper, which was soaked to the point of becoming pale white, could still slowly recover as long as it was given some time. In other words, the Big Dipper had become a reusable, renewable resource!
In this way, wouldn’t he be able to make a fortune by selling the ‘Big Dipper Tribulation Lightning Foam’?
As long as the foam produced by the liquefied tribulation lightning and the Big Dipper pa.s.sed their tests, and was found not to cause any harm to one’s body, he could open a business that sold Big Dipper Tribulation Lightning Foam and earn a fortune.
Currently, he was able to rent out Spirit Lakes for nurturing magical treasures, take out the trash for big shots, and sell Big Dipper Tribulation Lightning Foam. As long as he diligently worked on these things, his life would be filled with wealth!

After the foam and the Big Dipper were taken out, the heavenly tribulation at the bottom of the box was revealed.
The Third Stage lightning tribulation, which had undergone 36 steps, had solidified, and was now emitting a fragrant aroma. This fragrance was already close to the level of Song Shuhang’s edible lotus. Moreover, this was still a semi-finished product!
“Can we eat it already?” Doudou jumped lightly, shrinking down to the size of a palm before landing on Song Shuhang’s shoulder.
Song Shuhang said, “Not yet. The next step is to place it into a pill furnace to be refined. After it is refined, we will move on to the last step. Only, I’m slightly worried that something might have changed about it due to the Big Dipper.”
After the heavenly tribulation was refined in a pill furnace, there was still one last step. It still needed to be cooled for a month before it became completely edible.
Song Shuhang wanted to use the Time City for this step, but the consumption of energy was a bit large. He felt that it was too wasteful to use the power of the entire Time City to speed up the time of a small box.
Is there not a smaller version of the Time City?
[Shuhang, is your Braised Heavenly Tribulation finished?] The voice of Senior White’s clone sounded in Song Shuhang’s ears. [We’ve gone through the Southern Autumn Temple. It’s mostly an empty sh.e.l.l, and doesn’t have much inside it. However, in the main hall, there was a small box that was somewhat interesting. It touches upon the law of time.]
Song Shuhang asked subconsciously, [A Time Box?]
