"Is this what a spirit stone is?"
Lu Qing's mind has already withdrawn from the Li Huo Cauldron.
At this moment, he was holding a crystal-clear object in his hand, examining it closely.
It was that spirit stone that made even "Flame" tremble.
He has finished taking inventory of the contents of the space ring.
It must be said that the wealth of a Golden Core cultivator is quite considerable.
It contains various pills, spiritual herbs, and elixirs, all of which are of high quality.
Any one of them, if released, would be a treasure that cultivators all over the world would fight tooth and nail for.
But now, it's all benefiting Lu Qing.
With these resources, Lu Qing can at least sustain his cultivation for a period of time.
Of all the items, the small pile of spirit stones was the one that "Yan" valued the most.
According to the theory of "Yan", even the best elixirs contain erysipelas and should not be taken in large quantities.
But spirit stones are different. The spiritual essence they contain is very gentle and can be directly absorbed by cultivators.
It is one of the best treasures for consolidating one's foundation and increasing one's cultivation.
It is also extremely useful in areas such as formation and weapon crafting.
Unfortunately, spirit stones are extremely rare.
It is generally born only in places where spiritual energy is abundant yet under immense pressure.
These places are mostly located either deep underground or deep in the sea, making them extremely difficult to mine.
Therefore, even during the peak of the previous era of cultivation, the output of spirit stones was not high, and most of them were regarded as strategic resources by major sects.
Using spirit stones for cultivation is an incredibly extravagant act.
Generally, only true disciples of major sects might occasionally be granted one or two pieces for cultivation.
That's why Yan lost his composure when he saw that small pile of spirit stones.
It should be noted that the Li Huo Sect's treasury contained only slightly more spirit stones than this.
"However, the spiritual energy contained within this spirit stone is indeed very rich."
Lu Qing felt the spiritual energy fluctuations within the spirit stone in his hand and smiled.
If it were before his breakthrough, this one spirit stone alone would probably have been enough for him to cultivate for quite some time.
And this is only a low-grade spirit stone.
According to the information he had just obtained using his special ability, spirit stones are also divided into four grades: low grade, middle grade, high grade, and top grade.
For every grade a spirit stone reaches, the spiritual essence within it becomes more than ten times purer.
Of course, its value is more than ten times greater.
The spirit stones left behind by the white-robed youth were mostly low-grade and mid-grade, with low-grade spirit stones being the majority. There wasn't a single high-grade spirit stone, let alone a top-grade one.
It is conceivable that even in the Great World, spirit stones of superior quality are rare treasures for Golden Core Realm experts.
"And this too."
Lu Qing put away the spirit stones in his hand, and then a jade slip appeared in his hand.
This jade slip was also found in the space ring left behind by the young man in white robes.
There are several similar jade slips in total.
Lu Qing was quite familiar with the runes on the jade slip.
Although it was slightly different from what he knew, he still recognized that it was rune specifically used to make inheritance jade slips.
Lu Qing activated his supernatural ability and quietly looked at the jade slip.
Soon, he felt a faint purple light emerge from the jade slip.
At the same time, several messages appeared.
【Jade slips for inheritance: A type of jade slip used to record and pass on information.】
Those who cultivate the power of their divine soul can inscribe information on certain special jade slips, leaving behind a legacy.
【Those who haven't cultivated divine soul power will find it difficult to obtain the information on the jade slip.】
【Having discovered a lineage of cultivation techniques, should we download and replicate it?】
...
"download."
Upon seeing the prompt in the note, Lu Qing did not hesitate and immediately chose to download.
He was also very curious about the cultivation techniques of this white-robed youth, a cultivator from another world.
It would be even better if the jade slip contained information about other worlds.
As for why they didn't directly read the information in the jade slip with their minds, it was naturally to prevent any restrictions left in the jade slip.
From Yan's words, he learned that many cultivation sects in the past had taken precautions to prevent their own cultivation techniques from being leaked or stolen.
Most of them will place special restrictions on the jade slips for inheritance. If an outsider tries to read the information in the jade slip, the restrictions will destroy the jade slip directly.
He didn't know if the jade slip left by the young man in white robes contained such a restriction.
However, to be on the safe side, it's best not to take the risk.
Anyway, he has superpowers, which makes reading them even easier.
【Download started, current progress: 1%, 2%, 3%... 98%, 99%, 100%】
【Download complete. Would you like to run a simulation?】
Lu Qing immediately chose yes.
【Simulating, current progress: 1%, 2%, 3%... 98%, 99%, 100%.】
【Simulation complete. Would you like to proceed with the learning process?】
Lu Qing chose yes again.
The next moment, a wealth of insights surged from the depths of his mind.
Lu Qing closed his eyes and began to comprehend the information transmitted by his supernatural ability.
As Lu Qing was comprehending the cultivation techniques contained in the inherited jade slip.
In the Central Plains, a streak of light was rapidly cutting across the sky and flying outwards.
When he flew to the edge of Zhongzhou, he suddenly stopped again.
Holding someone in his hand, he looked down with some surprise at the crack that ran across the entire mountain range.
He could tell at a glance that the crack had been cleaved open by some being with great magical power.
As for the realm of that being, he had no way of knowing.
He is far from being able to do that, even though he has now reached the fourth stage of the Golden Core realm.
After staring intently at the massive crack for a while, and confirming from the ancient aura it exuded that the crack must have existed for countless millennia, the white-robed man finally calmed down.
Looking at the person he was holding, he asked, "Is this the Azure Dragon Pass you mentioned earlier?"
The man being held by the gray-robed man felt the emptiness beneath his feet and was already trembling with fear.
Even if he has the cultivation of a fully accomplished innate master, if he falls from such a height, he will be nothing more than turned into a pile of minced meat.
But since the gray-robed man had spoken, he dared not disobey.
Suppressing his fear, the man glanced down twice, then immediately looked up and replied in a trembling voice:
"Reporting to Your Excellency, this is indeed Qinglong Pass. The crack below is called Yixiantian (A Line of Sky), and the city there is Qinglong Pass."
As for Cangzhou, which you want to go to, just head east after you exit Qinglong Pass.
After replying, the man recalled the scene he had just witnessed and was suddenly struck by a sense of astonishment.
Looking down from this high altitude, Qinglong City below looks so much like the footprints of some kind of creature.
The narrow crack that runs across Qinglong Mountain looks just like a sword mark.
"East?"
The gray-robed man gazed straight ahead at the horizon, and the next moment, he transformed into a streak of light and flew eastward once more.
