"【Five Elements】, when the opportunity arises in the future, I will find you some suitable demonic cultivation techniques to practice."
Lu Qing stroked the winged snake's head.
The reason why the winged serpent was named 【Five Elements】 is naturally because of its special characteristics.
The winged serpent has guarded the Five Elements Lotus for so many years, living in that spiritual pool.
Nourished by the five elements, the physical body also possesses the five elements attributes and is extremely powerful, having formed the foundational form of a five-element spiritual body with astonishing potential.
Unfortunately, according to the Five Elements theory, it has stayed in the secret realm since its birth and has never come into contact with other living beings.
So, in a daze, one can only cultivate according to instinct.
This is also why it possessed the physical strength of a Golden Core level body but did not know how to use it skillfully, only knowing how to charge wildly, and was easily thrown into the Li Huo Cauldron by Lu Qing and trapped.
If given the right cultivation method, Lu Qing believed that 【Five Elements】's future achievements would likely be no less than Xiao Li's.
"Hiss~"
Upon hearing Lu Qing's words, the five-colored winged snake rubbed against his hand and simultaneously sent him a thought.
"You want the lotus seeds of the Five Elements Lotus?" Lu Qing was taken aback at first, then smiled and said, "It's not impossible. If you behave well in the future, I can consider it."
Upon hearing this, the five-colored winged snake rubbed against Lu Qing's hand even more vigorously, acting like a complete lackey.
Lu Qing smiled.
When I first met the winged serpent, the information it emanated seemed to suggest that it had been guarding the place for the sake of the Five Elements Lotus seeds.
The lotus seeds of the Five Elements Lotus seem to be related to its transformation.
The winged serpent has now become his enslaved spirit beast, and if it can molt and become even stronger, it will be a great help to him.
In that case, Lu Qing wouldn't be stingy with those lotus seeds.
After subduing the winged serpent, Lu Qing told it to go play by itself, and then turned his gaze to the corpse of the white-robed youth.
Since we're already here, let's deal with the corpse as well.
Lu Qing released the white-robed youth's corpse, first removing his belongings, then conjured a flame and burned the corpse directly.
The remains of a Golden Core cultivator can actually be considered a treasure.
However, Lu Qing wasn't involved in the path of corpse refining and had no interest in manipulating corpses, so he simply burned them.
The flame that Lu Qing condensed was the spiritual fire of the Li Huo Ding, and its power was extremely strong.
Even the corpse of a Golden Core Realm expert could not withstand it. Before long, it was completely incinerated, leaving not even bones behind, but only a few orbs of light in place.
That was a magical artifact that the white-robed youth had refined and absorbed {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} into his body.
The magic treasures that could be favored by a Golden Core Realm expert were naturally not ordinary magic treasures. Lu Qing sensed them and found that they were all of the treasure level.
The one that shone the brightest and possessed the greatest power was a fist-sized white bead with mysterious runes appearing on it from time to time.
Lu Qing activated his supernatural ability and looked at the white bead.
Soon, several notes appeared.
【Myriad Laws Bead: A top-grade water-elemental treasure.】
【Made primarily from the inner core of the Golden Core Spirit Beast, the Deep Sea Cloud Whale.】
【Contains myriad magical runes, providing a powerful boost to those who cultivate magic, increasing the power of spells cast by those at the Golden Core stage several times over.】
【Contains the power of the water element, possessing powerful healing properties.】
...
"It's actually a top-grade treasure."
After reading the message on the white bead, Lu Qing understood.
This precious pearl is a top-grade water-elemental artifact that has an extremely strong amplifying effect on a cultivator's magical power.
The white-robed youth's magical palm strike was so powerful, combining offense and defense with exquisite control; this magical artifact must have played a part in it.
"It would suit Master quite well," Lu Qing thought to himself.
Although my master is skilled in swordsmanship, he has come to understand the principles of water and fire.
He could actually use this Myriad Laws Pearl.
Of course, Xiaoyan is also very suitable for this precious pearl.
Xiao Yan possesses the talent of having ice-like skin and jade-like bones. Ice and water are originally from the same source, so the Myriad Laws Pearl is also an extremely suitable magic weapon for her.
However, Xiaoyan's cultivation level is still shallow. The Myriad Laws Pearl is a top-grade treasure with extraordinary power. Even if she were given it, she would not be able to refine it for the time being.
After thinking it over, Lu Qing decided to put the Myriad Law Pearl away for now and see who needed it more later.
As for himself, he possesses two great spiritual artifacts, as well as a natal magic weapon that, although not yet a spiritual artifact, has much greater potential than ordinary spiritual artifacts.
The value of magic is not in quantity, but in quality. Moreover, the function of this Myriad Magic Pearl overlaps somewhat with that of the Five Elements Gourd, but its power is far inferior to that of the Five Elements Gourd, so he really has no use for it.
He then looked at the other orbs of light, which were all good magical treasures, and put them away as well.
Even if he doesn't need it, he can give it to someone he knows later.
After putting away the magical treasures, Lu Qing then looked at the other items.
Those were things taken from the white-robed youth's body before his corpse was burned.
Ignoring the useless miscellaneous items, Lu Qing focused his attention on a jade thumb ring engraved with mysterious patterns.
He sensed an unusual fluctuation from the jade thumb ring.
With the power activated, the message on the jade ring quickly floated out.
【Space Ring: A treasure-level space ring.】
【Contains internal space for storing items.】
【A defensive formation is engraved on the thumb ring.】
【Unclaimed items can be given a new owner.】
...
"So, it really is a storage magic item?"
After reading the message that appeared on the jade ring, Lu Qing's eyes lit up with joy.
He wondered why the white-robed youth, a Golden Core Realm expert, would only have so little.
If it's a spatial magic item, then everything makes sense.
With a slight shift in his mind, Lu Qing separated a wisp of his divine soul power and sent it into the jade ring.
Because of the death of the white-robed youth, this storage magic item has become ownerless.
Therefore, he easily left his soul imprint within the restriction, making it his own.
After successfully refining the ring, Lu Qing sensed it and then revealed a look of surprise.
"As expected of a Golden Core cultivator from the Great World, they are truly wealthy."
Whoosh!
With a slight thought, Lu Qing took out everything from the spatial ring and suspended it in the spiritual artifact space of the Li Huo Cauldron.
"Is this thumb ring a storage magic item for someone at the Golden Core stage?"
When Yan saw the large pile of things that Lu Qing had taken out, he also realized what was going on.
Then, its attention was drawn to that pile of things.
It contained all sorts of things: ores, medicinal herbs, pill bottles... all of which emitted remarkable fluctuations, indicating that they were of high quality.
In particular, a small pile of crystal-clear, jade-like objects, exuding a rich spiritual aura, made Yan's eyes widen suddenly.
"Spirit stones! That Golden Core cultivator actually has so many spirit stones saved up?!"
...
boom!
Just as Lu Qing and "Yan" were taking stock of their spoils in the spiritual artifact space.
On the summit of a famous mountain in Zhongzhou.
A powerful shockwave suddenly erupted, shaking the floating clouds within a radius of dozens of miles.
A detached voice rang out.
"Junior brother, wait, I'll go avenge you right away."
