The Year of Transformation, Preparing for Birth

[As is customary with eggplants, they serve as a repository for the brain.]

In the vast wilderness, we dig and dig, digging up huge treasures and tiny flowers.

Sigh! It's just a piece of Taiyi refined gold. I've basically searched through the entire "Treasure Gathering Cave" for a thousand years. It's time to take stock of my thousand-year harvest.

All I could see was a young boy, about eleven or twelve years old, with delicate features, bright eyes and white teeth. He wore a white and gold robe, a five-colored pearl on his hand, and carried an iron shovel on his shoulder. He was quite adorable.

The boy sat cross-legged on the ground, waving his hand as the spoils of his thousand-year treasure hunt piled up in front of him.

The mounds piled up into several small mountains. Indeed, Jubao Cave is a large-scale blessed land with abundant resources.

There are thousands of innate treasure materials alone, piled up into several small mountains. These will all be excellent materials for refining treasures and weapons in the future.

Of course, these materials are only the most insignificant part of this treasure hunt.

With another wave of her hand, a sea of ​​plants appeared before them, with the dozen or so spiritual roots at the head clearly being extraordinary.

The top-grade innate spiritual root is the Purple Jade Grape; the mid-grade innate spiritual root is the Water Peach; the mid-grade innate spiritual root is the Creation Fruit; and there are 12 low-grade innate spiritual roots.

There are more than 200 acquired spiritual roots, and the rest are some old herbs. Xuanbao is a person who knows how to manage his money.

He knew that in later primordial eras, due to the transformation of innate spiritual energy into acquired spiritual energy, not to mention acquired spiritual roots, even spiritual plants that were a thousand or a hundred years old were considered precious materials.

What do you call this? Stockpiling "hundreds of millions" in advance. You need to know a simple analogy.

If you just hoard some porcelain or something during the Qin Dynasty, the rest is simple. As long as you live for more than 2000 years, you'll be a rich person, right?

Now comes the main event. The young man waved his hand again, and this time there weren't many items, only a dozen or so, each a magical treasure radiating various kinds of precious light.

Besides the few spiritual treasures that came with it, the entire Treasure Grotto Heaven also nurtured more than a dozen other spiritual treasures, although none of them were of very high grade.

There are three mid-grade innate spiritual treasures: the One Yuan Heavy Water Hammer, the Shaking God Mirror, and the Clear Wind Sword. There are also 11 low-grade spiritual treasures (too low grade to be listed).

I, Xuanbao, was nothing more than a cow or horse in my previous life, living a 007 life every day. By sheer luck, I ended up in the prehistoric world.

It also became a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Treasure Basin, and its transformation was at the Golden Immortal realm. Although Xuanbao felt that its realm was a little low, after all, it was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure in its transformation. If not a Great Luo Golden Immortal, it should at least be a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Unfortunately, I arrived too recently; I was premature.

Golden Immortal, fine, let's make you a Golden Immortal. Don't underestimate the power of a simple bean bun. It's much better than being a beast of burden in your previous life.

Xuanbao was very satisfied with his identity in this life. He was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure in human form. Although he couldn't compare to the top-tier Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, he was still in the second tier. Zhunti and Jieyin were just wisps of innate Gengjin Qi. He was a top-grade innate spiritual root, Gengjin Bodhi Tree, one of the ten great innate spiritual roots, in human form. Everyone was a top-grade in human form. I was practically a big shot, wasn't I?

What happened to the promise that every transmigrator has a system? I've been in the prehistoric world for over 1000 years and tried everything, but I haven't gotten anything! Is it because the prehistoric world is too high-level, and the system was taken away by the Heavenly Dao as soon as I arrived?

Fortunately, in this life, I am my own golden finger. The treasure basin took human form, giving me a divine power and a method to transform into a treasure body.

The supernatural power "Gathering Treasures" allows the user to condense precious energy. This energy has numerous uses, including accelerating the refining of spiritual treasures' restrictions and, most importantly, enhancing the quality of spiritual plants and treasures. However, the conditions for its use are very demanding.

It would take a Xuanbao 1000 years to condense even a wisp of its precious energy.

Fortunately, all that is needed is a Mystic Treasure, a Spiritual Treasure, and a Spiritual Root—these innate treasures will naturally emit a precious aura, which can speed up the process of condensing that aura.

一件下品先天灵宝可以加快1~3年时间，中品可以加快3~5年，上品可以加快5~10年，极品先天灵宝可以加快10~50年，先天至宝可以加快100年。

The Treasure Gathering Divine Power may seem weak at first, but it's similar to a snowball effect. It may not seem very effective in the early stages, but once you get the snowball rolling, it can be quite terrifying.

Combined with his talent for treasure hunting, as long as the treasure is within his sensing range, it will emit a treasure aura. GPS navigation, isn't that amazing?

Transforming into a Dao Body is also one's core technique, allowing one to transform spiritual treasures into one's own Dao Body. Of course, it is not a clone in the true sense and cannot be used for combat; rather, it is similar to a bot.

The clones can help refine spiritual treasures, comprehend the inherent laws within innate spiritual treasures, and even cultivate to nourish the treasures themselves.

A single innate spiritual treasure can accelerate one's cultivation speed to that of an innate saint. Even a low-grade innate spiritual treasure, once transformed, is still an innate saint, making it highly sought after everywhere.

Combined with his ability to gather treasures, the result is greater than the sum of its parts. If he refines hundreds or thousands of innate spiritual treasures, he's essentially having 1000 innate deities to cultivate for him. Why bother with cultivation then? Wouldn't it be better to hunt for treasures and grow flowers?

This treasure hunt yielded 15 more innate spiritual treasures, plus the few that were already with him, bringing his total number of innate spiritual treasures to over 20. Currently, the prehistoric timeline is in the period following the Three Races War, the Daoist-Demon War, and the second lecture by Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

He now has a substantial fortune, while that Kun is already a quasi-saint, yet it doesn't have many decent spiritual treasures, and it still uses its wealth to attack others all day long.

The Treasure Cave Heaven's resources have been almost completely plundered by him, and it's unknown how many tens of thousands of years it will take to recover even a little. Xuanbao looked at the cave heaven he had ruined.

Although I felt a little reluctant, there was nothing I could do. After all, cultivation was a bottomless pit. What if someone else took it instead of me?

I'll leave all that aside for now. Once I've achieved some success in my cultivation, I'll definitely come back. After all, it's my place of transformation. My current task is to refine the innate spiritual treasure I just found into a Dao body. Then I'll have more than a dozen people helping me cultivate. Why not?

Xuanbao released more than a dozen strands of precious energy, which flew towards the dozen or so innate spiritual treasures. After absorbing the precious energy, the spiritual treasures all trembled uncontrollably, as if they had taken some kind of drug and were clearly high.

Xuanbao released his divine sense, enveloping more than a dozen spiritual treasures. In no time, the treasures were refined under a congenital restriction. Who could do that? Refining more than a dozen congenital spiritual treasures in such a short time. If others saw this, their eyes would probably pop out.

Refining one layer of the restriction is enough; the rest can be refined by the clone later. With the help of the Transformation Body, Xuanbao sent out several wisps of divine consciousness into Lingbao, successfully adding a dozen more workers.

Xuanbao calculated that he was currently at the peak of the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm. It wouldn't be long before he could break through to the late stage. In addition, with his companions—the superior-grade innate spiritual treasure Kunwu Sword, the mid-grade innate set spiritual treasure Innate Five Elements Beads, and a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure Po Yuan Shovel—he had a total of 21 tools helping him cultivate. The Great Dao was within reach.

His own Treasure Gathering Divine Power has also been reduced from taking 1000 years to condense a single strand of treasure energy to now taking only 888 years. The time required to condense a single strand of treasure energy for his twenty-odd innate spiritual treasures and innate spiritual roots has been reduced by a total of 112 years.

The revolution is not yet complete; comrades, we must continue our efforts.

Next, I'll venture into the vast primordial wilderness. With my numerous magical treasures, ordinary Golden Immortals are no match for me, and I can even challenge ordinary Taiyi cultivators.

In this vast and desolate land, the Daoist Master has come to bestow blessings upon you...

Primordial Realms: Earth Immortal, Celestial Immortal, True Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal, Quasi-Saint (Hun Yuan Golden Immortal), Saint (Hun Yuan Daluo Golden Immortal)...

Acquired spiritual treasures are similar to innate spiritual treasures, except that the restrictions are acquired.
