I can identify everything, but this is an upgraded version of identification.

"True Spirit Grass... Nourishing Essence Fruit... Top-grade Spirit Stone... Jade White Lotus... Earthly Fiend Root..."

As he counted the spiritual items in his storage bag, Su Changming couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

With the status of an inner disciple, he became bolder.

It guided the little golden spirit mouse to destroy the remaining miniature arrays of high-grade spiritual materials.

Su Changming first took out a mid-grade spirit stone and carefully felt its special characteristics.

"Hiss! This spiritual energy content is more than a hundred times that of a mid-grade spirit stone?!"

Feeling the immense spiritual power contained within the "superior spirit stone," Su Changming couldn't help but feel his mouth go dry.

Even if used for casting spells, one would probably exhaust the spiritual energy within even if one worked oneself to death.

Moreover, high-grade spirit stones are not only rich in spiritual energy, but more importantly, the quality of the spiritual energy within them is so high that it is close to liquefaction.

It is said that the Liuyun Sect has a mine with a spiritual energy pool inside. Cultivators at the twelfth level of Qi Refining can increase their chances of establishing their foundation by 10% by using the pool.

He could probably achieve the same effect by using this "superior spirit stone".

Of course, this is on the premise that the cultivator's cultivation technique is not of a high enough grade. High-grade cultivation techniques produce high-quality mana.

If it is this type of disciple, then the probability of successfully establishing the foundation can only be increased by half.

However, for Su Changming, what he cultivated was merely a low-grade Yellow Rank Water Spirit Technique, which was definitely not included in this category.

"What a pity, the spiritual energy is too pure; I need to dilute it before I can absorb it..."

Su Changming couldn't help but shake his head.

Ordinary cultivators try their best to condense the spiritual energy they absorb into their bodies.

He did the opposite, because the quality of the spiritual energy he absorbed was too high, so he had to dilute it.

It must be said that sometimes he has a kind of trouble with being too rich.

"Let's try the leaves of the True Spirit Grass..."

Su Changming held the "superior spirit stone" in one hand and the True Spirit Grass leaf in the other, then swallowed it.

Instantly, a surge of abundant spiritual energy flowed into his entire body.

This spiritual energy can be used to dilute the high-grade spiritual energy in the superior-grade spirit stone, so that the large amount of spiritual energy within the superior-grade spirit stone is not entirely useless...

If one truly has to rely solely on the spiritual energy within high-grade spirit stones to slowly refine them, then the cultivation progress using mid-grade spirit stones is indeed not as good as that of high-grade spirit stones…

By mixing the True Spirit Leaf Grass, he could indeed obtain a large amount of pure spiritual energy for cultivation, but there were also consequences.

That is, these massive amounts of spiritual energy circulated through his meridians, causing great damage to his body.

If it weren't for his physical training, he would probably be covered in blood by now.

"Let's see if this jade lotus is truly as effective as described..."

He gently stepped on a leaf of the white jade lotus and put it in his mouth. Su Changming closed his eyes and began to refine it carefully.

Unexpectedly, the jade lotus leaf melted rapidly as soon as he put it in his mouth, turning into white mist that spread throughout his body.

Su Changming also felt a comfortable warmth.

It was as if it was repairing the tiny wounds all over his body.

"Not bad, not bad..."

Su Changming then got up and stretched his limbs. If it weren't for the miraculous healing effect of the Jade White Lotus, he probably wouldn't have been able to even get up.

"High-level spiritual items are good, but they are not without harm for low-level cultivators..."

Su Changming suddenly realized something.

High-grade medicinal herbs were indeed very effective for his current level of cultivation, but some of them also caused him some burden.

The leaves of the True Spirit Grass were like this, causing his meridians to become overburdened, forcing him to take medicine to relieve the burden.

However, these mildly effective healing herbs seem to be truly harmless...

"Perfect, let's try this Earthly Fiend Root... The Hundred Refinement Technique mentions that if you can find a body-refining material, you can perform a hundred refinements, and so on, until you reach a thousand refinements, at which point your physical strength will be comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

Su Changming was skeptical of the descriptions in the Hundred Forging Techniques.

But now is the perfect time to find out.

After cutting off a small piece of the Earthly Fiend Root and putting it in his mouth, Su Changming immediately felt his blood and qi boiling.

Su Changming's appraisal ability has one advantage: the upgraded items seem to belong to the same category.

Even after the fish meat identification is upgraded, it is still considered fish meat.

Furthermore, the upgraded medicinal materials must be those whose appearance is not significantly different.

However, one thing is certain.

That means the upgrade effect of the appraisal is several levels higher.

"not good!"

Shortly after consuming the Earthly Fiend Root, Su Changming felt his whole body heat up, as if he had entered a sauna.

Su Changming even discovered that he was actually emitting smoke from his entire body.

He touched his body and was surprised to find that he was burning up terribly.

Its body temperature has probably reached 60 degrees Celsius.

Such high temperatures are not the most terrifying place.

What's even more terrifying is that a strange energy is rampaging through his body, seemingly intent on shattering it to pieces.

Is this the Earthly Fiend?

Su Changming hurriedly tore off a few jade-white lotus leaves, swallowed them, and tried his best to suppress this strange energy.

After a long while, Su Changming slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

"This ability to identify and upgrade is probably far more complex than I thought. Such a spiritual material, just a small piece of its root, almost destroyed my foundation... This Earthly Fiend Root is probably a spiritual material of the same level as the Minming Fruit, but its effects are even more violent..."

Su Changming felt a wave of fear. If he hadn't hurriedly taken the Jade White Lotus Leaf, he would probably have been seriously injured or crippled.

It was precisely because of his caution that he dared to use things with unknown effects only when he had healing items available.

"It seems I need to learn more about various medicinal herbs... otherwise I'll inevitably suffer a great loss."

Su Changming took out a notebook and began to write it down.

After pouring himself a cup of bitter spring wine, Su Changming ate a nourishing fruit and waited for the healing effects of the jade white lotus to take effect.

After the effects of the medicine wore off, he took another leaf, and repeated this process until he finally recovered from his injuries in the middle of the night.

"This move should be performed as follows..."

Su Changming's eyes flickered, and countless fantastic ideas surfaced in his mind.

This is the wonderful effect of Simin fruit.

With just one, his ability to comprehend the Dharma was comparable to that of a genius.

While it's not something you can master at a glance, it's a thousand times better than before you took the Simin Fruit.

Even if I gave myself a thousand days and nights, I still wouldn't be able to grasp the true essence of the Sword Soaring Technique.

But after eating the Smino fruit, one night would be enough for me...

"No, using purple energy makes this sword move even more powerful. Besides, it's a sword move; how can it unleash its true power if used empty-handed?"

Su Changming took out a silver sword from his storage bag. The blade gleamed coldly, faintly reflecting Su Changming's face.

This sword was obtained from Liu Yu.

He had already formed a blood feud with Liu Yu, and since he had crippled the other party, it was impossible for him not to take the other party's storage bag.

Fortunately, Liu Yu's storage bag didn't have many restrictions, so he easily broke it open with his spiritual energy and obtained many good things from it.

One of them is this mortal weapon that gleams with a cold light...
