Jin Liaoyuan did not provide any introduction about his life; his last bit of spiritual power was like a phone with an unpaid bill, abruptly disconnected. Perhaps in his view, there were very few people in Liuxiang Kingdom Modern Clerk who had not heard of him.
Upon further inspection of the stone chamber, it became clear that this space had hardly been designed by anyone. Aside from the entrance to the inner room, which showed signs of manual excavation, everything else was naturally formed. The interior was simply furnished: just a bed and a table, nothing more.
There was no storage room and no food. So what did the master eat? Or perhaps this was originally the master's retreat, with all the food stored in the Spatial Ring?
The answer to this question came from Emperor Sparrow Aqi, a spirit beast that quickly sensed the situation from Xu Feng's expression. It flew to the entrance of the cave, spread its wings, and soared out. Moments later, it returned after less than ten seconds, holding a thumb-sized yellow fruit in its beak.
This fruit was unlike the Chiyang Fruit, and without seeing any branches or leaves, Xu Feng immediately judged it was not an ordinary fruit. A Qi placed the fruit into Xu Feng's hand, signaling him to eat it.
Having gone through Jin Liaoyuan's experience, Xu Feng had gained A Qi's trust, and he trusted A Qi in return. Without hesitation, he swallowed the Zhu Guo without even looking at it.
A wave of rich, refreshing energy flowed through his entire Meridian, instantly alleviating his pain. More importantly, his energy recovered rapidly, and he felt no hunger at all, as if he had boundless strength.
Xu Feng did not know where A Qi had obtained this fruit and did not need to know. He thought that perhaps Jin Liaoyuan had eaten this before. Considering that Jin Liaoyuan was at least a master of the Golden Core Stage, how could he possibly consume ordinary food?
With his hunger resolved, Xu Feng focused his thoughts and entered the Spatial Ring, beginning to examine the items inside.
It was a space about ten feet high, resembling a basketball court. Like He Tanshu, there stood a one-person tall Wooden Rack. Aside from this rack, there were sparkling spirit stones that occupied nearly half of the space—entirely composed of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
Half a basketball court filled with Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!
Xu Feng felt dry-mouthed; how many spirit stones could there be? No wonder both the New Moon Sect and the Guiyi Sect were desperate to find Emperor Sparrow Aqi. They wanted to locate the treasures left behind by Jin Liaoyuan through A Qi.
Master, what kind of business have you been running? Xu Feng wondered curiously. It was strange that he hadn’t seen a single piece of High-Quality Spirit Stone.
The wooden rack is divided into three layers. On the top layer, there are two swords without sheaths, resting horizontally on the shelf. One sword gleams with a cold light, while the other is entirely black.
These two swords are actually Superior Spirit Tools!
Xu Feng currently only possesses a heavy sword, which he treasures like a precious item. Looking at the two Superior Spirit Tools before him, Xu Feng wishes he could throw that embarrassing heavy sword as far away as possible.
He picks up the Cold Light Sword, and with a thought, it disappears into his palm, hidden within his body. When he exhales his spiritual energy, the long sword reappears in his grip. After repeating this several times, Xu Feng quickly becomes adept at it.
The Cold Light Sword is no wider than an inch and three feet long. Its slender blade shimmers slightly, creating a halo that flows like a clear and dazzling autumn stream. The hilt is engraved with two menacing characters: Drinking Hatred.
The black sword feels slightly heavy in hand, measuring no more than two feet in length and three fingers in width. Its dark blade bears its name: No Enmity. To wash away enmity is to achieve No Enmity.
Xu Feng places No Enmity back in its stand while directly storing Drinking Hatred within his body.
The middle layer is divided into three compartments. The first compartment holds a stack of Martial Arts Manuals, the second contains several bottles of elixirs, and the third has two pieces of ore.
Following Jin Liaoyuan's instructions, Xu Feng quickly finds a booklet among the stack of Cultivation Methods. The purple cover simply bears four characters: Control Vein Technique.
Upon opening the cover, he discovers that this booklet is merely a folded sheet of paper with no spine; it consists of a single piece of purple paper folded in half, with all the content written inside.
The less-than-a-foot-long paper is filled with text, clearly written and not in excessively small font. The entire Control Vein Technique is divided into three sections but contains less than a thousand words. It appears to be more of an outline for a Cultivation Method.
Alongside Control Vein Technique are four other booklets titled: Thousand Miles Kill, Mu Ling Dao, Dragon's Fury, and Earth King Shock, corresponding to the elements of Metal, Wood, Fire, and Earth; however, there is no Water Element Technique. Upon opening the front page, he finds that they are all Intermediate-level Cultivation Methods.
None of the Cultivation Methods Xu Feng is currently practicing are Intermediate; they are all Human Level mid-tier. Looking at the four Earth-Level Cultivation Methods makes Xu Feng swallow hard, but upon closer inspection, he realizes that all Intermediate-level Cultivation Methods can only be practiced after establishing a foundation.
In the second compartment in the middle, there were three bottles of elixirs: Qiangsheng Pill, Baiqing Dan, and Ningli Dan.
The Qiangsheng Pill is a Healing Elixir, the Baiqing Dan is an antidote, and the Ningli Dan is an emergency energy reserve elixir. All three elixirs are Sixth Level, with several dozen pills in each bottle. The Sixth-Level Elixir is not like the Gathering Spirit Pill from back in the day; each pill costs nearly one hundred thousand. Just these three bottles of elixirs could bankrupt some sects.
The absence of Foundation Pills was expected; for a cultivator at Jin Liaoyuan's level, Foundation Pills are of no use. Since he is not establishing a sect, keeping Foundation Pills would only take up space.
Foundation Pills are merely Fifth-Rank Pills, and any one of the pills from the three bottles would be more valuable than them.
In the third compartment in the middle, there were two fist-sized ores. With experience from the Artifact Workshop, Xu Feng easily recognized these two ores: Cold Crystal Stone and Blaze Crystal Stone. One ore comes from an extremely cold region, while the other comes from an extremely hot area. When refining tools, adding just one percent of these ores can impart their cold and hot properties to the item.
These two rare stones had not been discovered for hundreds of years; it was surprising to find two here with Jin Liaoyuan.
The bottom layer had no compartments and contained one large and one small box.
The large box had two layers; the upper layer was dazzling with light, containing one hundred thirty High-Quality Spirit Stones.
High-Quality Spirit Stones are worth about one hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones in market value, but they are extremely rare and highly useful. Many mechanisms, puppets, formations, and various weapons may require them. Therefore, when High-Quality Spirit Stones become available, they are quickly collected for future needs. If someone wants to exchange one hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones for a High-Quality Spirit Stone, it would require an extraordinary stroke of luck.
Flipping over the upper layer of spirit stones revealed that the lower layer was filled with round balls about the size of walnuts.
Demon Pills! At least seventy or eighty Demon Pills!
Demon beasts above level one will have Demon Pills. These pills also vary by Five Element Attributes; different attributes produce different inner pills. They can be categorized by color into five types: white, black, green, yellow, and red.
Demon Pills are primarily used for alchemy. Level one to three Demon Pills are relatively common and do not sell for high prices. However, Demon Pills above level four are harder to come by; with each level increase, their price multiplies several times.
Inside the large box, there are Seven Level Six Demon Pills, and the rest are Fifth-Grade Demon Pills. A single Fifth-Grade Demon Pill costs at least ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, while Sixth-Rank Demon Pills are priced no lower than one hundred thousand.
The last box was specifically designated by Jin Liaoyuan to be given to New Moon Sect's Qiu Wuling. Upon opening the box, a dried and yellowed left hand suddenly came into view.
This left hand was cleanly severed at the wrist, with no tendons attached, indicating that the person who wielded the blade had excellent skill. The fingers of the severed hand were slightly curled, with the thumb pressing down on a Jade Tablet inscribed with: Wuhua Island, Hua Baili.
Is this person from Wuhua Island? Who is Hua Baili? Why was his hand severed here?
Next to the severed hand lay a flat Jade Box. Upon opening the Jade Box, a cool breeze spread out, revealing a whole piece of white jade inside. In the center of the jade was a carved groove, where a plump and lush Square Leaf Grass quietly nestled.
Dark Golden Chrysanthemum is a beautiful flower, but when refined by an Alchemist, it becomes a poison known as "One Hundred Years of Solitude." This poison is chronic, colorless, and tasteless, making it difficult to guard against. Once afflicted by this poison, one's cultivation regresses instead of progressing, leading to a decline over a hundred years until one dies in solitude and despair. It ranks third among the ten poisons of Liuxiang.
Square Leaf Grass is merely a type of herb; it has a neighbor called Dark Golden Chrysanthemum... Therefore, Square Leaf Grass is not afraid of "One Hundred Years of Solitude."
In Liuxiang Kingdom, there is only one place where these two plants can be found: Wuhua Island.
