"What's this?"
Lu Qing stared at what was before him, utterly shocked.
Before them, a spacious and tall cavern suddenly appeared.
Inside the cave, the walls and floor had a white jade-like texture, and were engraved with intricate and ancient mysterious runes, making it look very mysterious.
In the center of the cave was a huge stone platform.
On the stone platform, a crystal-clear stalactite pillar hangs down, its tip, like a pen nib, pointing directly at the center of the platform.
Lu Qing was stunned by the almost completely jade-like cavern before him.
He never expected that such a strange place would exist inside the mountain.
Contrary to expectations, at the end of the cave was an unexpectedly beautiful jade-like chamber.
Even Xiao Li was somewhat stunned.
It never expected that the place it had been longing for for so long would be such a sparkly place.
Standing outside the Jade Transformation Cave, Lu Qing did not go in immediately.
Upon arriving here, his sense of clarity intensified, and he became even more cautious.
This cave is so strange that it doesn't look like it was formed naturally.
Since it was man-made, it's hard to say there weren't any protective measures.
Although he doesn't feel any danger right now, he still doesn't want to rush in.
However, to Lu Qing's surprise, at this moment, Xiao Li left his shoulder and suddenly darted into the cave.
"Wait a minute, Xiao Li!"
Lu Qing was shocked and quickly shouted.
To his even greater surprise, just as Xiao Li was about to enter the cave, a faint light screen appeared, attempting to stop Xiao Li from entering.
Just when Lu Qing thought that Xiao Li was going to get hurt.
Suddenly, a flash of black light appeared, and the light barrier was easily torn apart by Xiao Li, disappearing like a burst bubble.
"Um?"
Seeing Xiao Li land safely inside the cave, Lu Qing's mouth gaped open in disbelief.
He had assumed that the defensive capabilities of this jade-like cave were also extremely powerful, given how extraordinary it was, but he never expected that Xiao Li would break through it so easily.
"Huh?"
Xiao Li stood inside the cave, looking at Lu Qing with some confusion.
It seemed not to understand why he had just called it.
"...It's alright now."
Seeing that Xiao Li had stayed in the cave for so long without anything else happening, Lu Qing knew that he had been worrying too much.
As a spirit beast, Xiao Li's ability to sense danger far surpasses his. Since it didn't sense any danger, it must be truly safe.
Lu Qing took a step and tried to walk into the cave, not knowing if the light screen was irreplaceable after it was destroyed.
This time, he entered the cave smoothly without encountering any obstacles.
Upon entering the cave, Lu Qing's clarity of mind increased once again, and his heart felt as if a layer of dust had been brushed away, leaving him extremely relaxed.
When I start thinking about a problem, my thoughts turn much faster.
A strange light flashed in Lu Qing's eyes.
Even if there are no other treasures in this cave, the serene atmosphere it exudes is already a great reward.
He had a feeling that if he could cultivate in this cave, it would be of great benefit to him.
As for cultivation, Lu Qing was more interested in the things in this cave right now.
Xiao Li had been impatient for a while, and when he finally came in, she grabbed him and pulled him toward the stone platform in the middle.
Following Xiao Li's suggestion, Lu Qing arrived at the stone platform.
This stone platform is about half a person's height, and like the surrounding stone walls and ground, it has almost been jade-like.
The stone platform is also engraved with mysterious patterns.
In the very center, there is a rounded depression filled with some white, jade-like liquid.
Seeing the liquid, Lu Qing looked up at the stalactite pillars hanging above the stone platform and guessed that the liquid must have been dripping from there.
He stared intently at the liquid on the stone platform.
After a while, a faint golden light emerged from the white jade liquid.
【Earth Vein Elixir: A rare and precious elixir, non-toxic, and safe for consumption.】
【This elixir is a rare and precious treasure, capable of bringing the dead back to life, restoring flesh to bones, prolonging life, and improving the aptitude and potential of both humans and animals, even defying fate.】
【Legend has it that those possessing magical powers can carve magic arrays according to the terrain, regulate the earth's energy, and condense the essence of the earth's veins to form a precious elixir.】
【The Earth Vein Elixir can be consumed directly or used to refine elixirs; its uses are endless.】
"Golden light?!"
When Lu Qing saw the supernatural light emanating from the white jade liquid, he was already stunned.
This was the first time he had ever seen an item that could emit a golden light.
You should know that even Xiao Li's magical beast was nothing more than a red glow in his eyes.
When he finished reading the information revealed by his supernatural abilities, he was completely stunned.
To bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded!
Prolong life!
Improve your qualifications, increase your potential, and defy fate!
If any of these words appeared on any object, it would immediately transform that object into a coveted treasure.
But now, these abilities are being used simultaneously to describe the white jade liquid in the stone platform.
This is enough to show just how precious this earth vein essence is!
Suddenly, Lu Qing's gaze towards the earth vein spiritual liquid became intense.
Such a precious liquid can truly be called a rare treasure. Compared with it, ginseng and Panax notoginseng are completely insignificant.
After a while, Lu Qing's excited heart gradually calmed down.
He stopped Xiao Li from reaching out his claws to scoop up the earth vein essence.
Such precious elixir cannot be used so casually. If even a trace is lost, it would be a huge waste, enough to break one's heart.
Taking a few deep breaths and forcing himself to calm down, Lu Qing temporarily shifted his attention away from the earth vein liquid.
He noticed that the note he had just detected contained another important piece of information.
A person possessing magical powers!
This cave was created by someone with magical powers.
What kind of person can possess magical powers?
Is it the mysterious and unpredictable innate grandmaster that Master spoke of, or perhaps an existence at an even higher level?
Lu Qing was inexplicably excited.
Regardless of which one it is, it shows that the cultivation path in this world has a much higher ceiling than he imagined.
This is very good news for him.
After pondering for a while, Lu Qing began to examine the cave.
Since this place was specially arranged by the person with magical powers, there may be more than just this one cave.
Sure enough, after some investigation, Lu Qing discovered the secret on one side of the cave.
【Hidden Door: A specially constructed stone door, behind which seems to lie a hidden world.】
【This hidden door has no mechanism; simply push it open with force.】
Seeing that there was no mechanism, Lu Qing immediately stood in front of the door, circulated his qi and blood, and pushed towards the hidden door.
The hidden door was also built of jade-like stone, and it was quite heavy.
Fortunately, Lu Qing was still able to push things forward with difficulty.
As he gradually exerted more force, the hidden door was finally slowly pushed open.
