Chapter 173 The Token Points to a Rank 5 Cultivation Technique
After the conversation ended, Zhang Lingyu dealt with some recent family affairs and then returned to his cave to organize various items.
Although the trip to Yanxing County was very expensive, the gains were well worth it, especially the spiritual materials like Xuan Ting Lei Zhu. After forging the six flying swords, my strength will be enhanced to a higher level.
Forging a flying sword is no easy task. You need enough people in your family, but you also need the right environment.
This is where the value of the lightning crystal becomes apparent. Once the lightning storage pool is completed, construction can begin.
Let's first examine the storage bags of those three victims...
Meng Da and the other two were all at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. There were many cultivators coming and going in Yanxing County, and they believed that this wealth would definitely not disappoint them.
As the three storage bags were opened, the huge cave was immediately filled with all kinds of golden rare and precious materials, so abundant that the spirit beast bag at his waist trembled slightly.
It's obvious at a glance that the Soul-Devouring Bees want to come out.
But Zhang Lingyu couldn't allow that; if they were released, these things would probably be wiped out in no time.
After calming them down for a while, I threw in some spiritual materials to quiet them down a bit before looking at my harvest.
After taking stock of the three men's wealth, he smiled quite a bit.
The amount of spirit stones alone reached over 70,000, which can be said to have made up for the spirit stone expenditure of purchasing the Xuan Ting Lei Zhu in Tian Liu City. Even if I suffer some injuries, it is worth it for this reason alone.
Next are the magical artifacts: one high-grade Foundation Establishment artifact, three mid-grade Foundation Establishment artifacts, five low-grade Foundation Establishment artifacts, and more than thirty Qi Refining artifacts, most of which are high-grade, with very few mid-grade ones.
It is evident that Meng Da and the other two, being Foundation Establishment cultivators, do not spare either Foundation Establishment or Qi Refining cultivators.
Zhang Lingyu had no use for these Qi-refining artifacts right now, and even thought they took up too much space in his storage bag. After pondering for a while, he called Wang Menghan in.
When the girl entered, she was stunned by the sight of the rare and precious herbs scattered all over the floor. After a long while, she finally came to her senses and asked in a low voice, "Master, which family did you wipe out this time?"
"You little brat, you're talking nonsense. Do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to wipe out other people's families? These are the people who tried to rob me on the way, and I just killed them without thinking."
Zhang Lingyu chuckled and scolded, pointing at the magical artifacts and saying, "Menghan, take a look and see if there's anything suitable or that you like."
As his disciple, Wang Menghan is currently only at the third level of Qi Refining, but his equipment is no worse than that of a peak Qi Refining cultivator in an ordinary Nascent Soul sect.
After he advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, he no longer needed magical artifacts like the [Junhong] and handed them all over to the girl.
However, the girl's cultivation level was low and she was currently cultivating in Qingya Mountain, so she basically kept everything in her storage bag.
So when these things were placed in front of her, Wang Menghan found it difficult to make a choice. It wasn't that she disliked these magical artifacts because they were inferior to what she already had, but rather that she didn't lack them at all.
However, since my master has asked me to choose one, I can't refuse completely.
After careful selection, they chose a flying sword and a precious pearl.
"Hey, this little girl has good taste."
Upon seeing the precious pearl, Zhang Lingyu chuckled inwardly. This magical artifact was one of the most valuable items among them. As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he easily understood its function with a mere sweep of his divine sense.
This magical artifact can clear one's mind and reduce interference from external demons, which is of great benefit to cultivation. It also provides some resistance to attacks that target the soul during magical battles.
If he had had this thing back then, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed in front of Huan Xue'er in Tianji Sanren's cave.
Speaking of Huanxue'er, I wonder where she went?
......
After Wang Menghan had chosen the magic weapon, Zhang Lingyu bestowed upon her some cultivation pills and then let her go off to cultivate on her own.
As for the remaining Qi-refining artifacts, they were all put into storage bags and will be kept in the clan for clan members to exchange for using contribution points.
As for those Foundation Establishment artifacts, to be honest, not many of them are actually useful. They will be stored in the family treasury later, and can be taken out and used after Zhang Xinghao and the other two successfully establish their foundations.
"There are quite a few pills as well."
Meng San and his companions had no fixed abode, and all their belongings were stored in storage bags. This time, they were all caught in one fell swoop, and the cultivation pills were the kind that Foundation Establishment cultivators commonly use.
However, there is a pill called the Azure Jade Qi-Harmony Pill, which is a high-grade fourth-rank pill and one of the best pills for Foundation Establishment cultivators to break through their cultivation level. One pill costs about 30,000 spirit stones.
Considering Meng Da's cultivation level, he must have taken it in preparation for breaking through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
Using the Azure Jade Qi-Harmony Pill to break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage was too extravagant, so Zhang Lingyu carefully stored it in a jade bottle.
Then there weren't many talismans left, so I organized them all and put them aside.
After organizing all these things, Zhang Lingyu looked at the jade slips to see if there were any good cultivation methods or spells that he or his family could practice.
"Fourth-grade martial arts techniques: Cloud Sea Profound Technique, Jade Heaven Primordial Technique, Flying Flower Sword Manual..."
There were quite a few cultivation techniques and spells in the storage bag, mostly between the third and fourth ranks, but unfortunately, not many of them were usable by him. He could only put them in the family's scripture pavilion to fill the gaps and see which family member was interested in practicing them.
The Art of Concealing Clouds.
This spell is also in the storage bag. Overall, it is a pretty good spell among fourth-tier spells. It can both block vision and suppress divine sense, making it perfect for dealing with cultivators who do not cultivate divine soul techniques.
However, Zhang Lingyu did not intend for his clansmen to practice the "Cloud Concealing Technique" or the "Cloud Sea Profound Technique".
Both of these are techniques from the Tranquil Mind Pavilion.
Although Master Jingxin is dead, Jingxin Pavilion still exists. If the clansmen are ever caught by his disciples after they have finished their cultivation, they will have no way to explain themselves.
The other party may very well believe that they obtained these items by killing their fellow disciples.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, it's best to put it away for now.
After tidying up all the items, Zhang Lingyu was about to put away all the other miscellaneous items when she was attracted by a token at the bottom.
His intuition told him that this thing was unusual.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the token flew into his palm.
Zhang Lingyu looked at the intricately patterned token in her hand, which bore only the character "羽" (feather). After a while, he tentatively channeled his magic into it.
In an instant, the token suddenly lit up, and a beam of light flew into his brow.
"not good!"
He secretly cursed, thinking it was a backup plan from the other party, so he immediately guarded his mind to prevent it from entering. But after a while, he felt that the spiritual light seemed to be harmless, so he accepted it with peace of mind.
Fifteen minutes later, he slowly opened his eyes.
inherited.
The legacy of a Golden Core cultivator.
"Master Mingyu... Tianshui County."
Zhang Lingyu's eyes were filled with doubt. According to the information in the spiritual light just now, this True Man Mingyu came from the Qin State. He loved to travel around and would leave behind some legacy for future generations wherever he went.
The place corresponding to this token is a spot left in the neighboring Tianshui County.
Although the general direction was indicated, it did not specify what was inside, nor whether there was any danger inside.
Is it a stroke of luck or a calamity?
Zhang Lingyu's expression was complicated. He wouldn't go over until he understood the situation, so he immediately opened the intelligence system and entered the information: "[A legacy left by True Person Mingyu in Tianshui County, Zhao Kingdom, Donghua Continent.]"
As intelligence points were deducted, all the relevant intelligence information appeared before him.
According to the intelligence system, True Man Mingyu was a rogue cultivator from the Qin Kingdom. He was fortunate enough to form his core after receiving the inheritance of an old man named Yu Hai, who was in the Nascent Soul stage. In order to prevent the inheritance from being lost and also for the sake of all rogue cultivators in the world, he set up cave dwellings in various places so that the inheritance of the old man Yu Hai would not be erased over time.
The inheritance cave in Tianshui County is indeed real. It contains various magical artifacts, spells, and elixirs left behind by the deceased. The most precious item among them is a golden elixir cultivation method called "Burning Yuan Fire Scripture".
This method is as high as the fifth grade, and it is the cultivation method practiced by Elder Yu Hai. Of course, this book, "Burning Yuan Fire Scripture", can be cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, but True Man Ming Yu only left the section on refining Qi to the Golden Core stage.
The subsequent training methods will have to be obtained from him in the Qin state.
The Qin state is too far from the Zhao state. At least a Golden Core cultivator would have the ability to travel such a distance, but that's no longer an option.
Furthermore, after reaching the Golden Core stage, with the help of the intelligence system, Zhang Lingyu would not be unable to find the Nascent Soul cultivation method.
Of course, once you reach the Golden Core stage, you can join the Jade Light Pavilion as a guest elder. At that time, you can still choose the Nascent Soul cultivation method, but you will have to pay some price.
"The 'Burning Primordial Fire Scripture'—this place of its transmission is worth a visit."
After learning relevant information through the intelligence system, Zhang Lingyu felt it was necessary to go. Although the family now had three Golden Core level cultivation techniques, they were all fourth-grade.
If one obtains the "Burning Primordial Fire Scripture" and cultivates it, the probability of success in breaking through to the Golden Core stage will be higher.
Since they are all cultivation techniques of the same attribute, switching between them is not too troublesome.
As for whether there is any danger in that cave, the intelligence system has also said that there are indeed some minor challenges, but nothing serious.
With his, Zhang Yuanhua, and Zhang Xingyao's skills, they could easily handle it.
After all, this inheritance was mainly prepared by True Immortal Mingyu for rogue cultivators. He himself was a rogue cultivator, so he naturally understood how pathetic the abilities of rogue cultivators were...
"Go tell the Grand Elder about this token first..."
Zhang Lingyu was naturally not foolish enough to reveal the information in the intelligence system; it was just a matter concerning the inheritance of a Golden Core cultivator, so they were discussing whether or not to go.
Even if the old man thinks it's a trap and doesn't go, he can easily inherit the skills.
......
Inside Zhang Yuanhua's cave, the old man extinguished the flames in his alchemy furnace as he watched the young man stride in. He asked in surprise, "Lingyu, what brings you here? Is your Thunder Pool finished?"
"Grandpa is joking. That thing can't be that fast."
Zhang Lingyu was both amused and exasperated. Although Thunder Pattern Crystal was not as hard as Thunder Pattern Gold, it was not something that could be forged into shape in just a few days. After obtaining the inheritance token, he did not come to find the old man immediately, but instead focused on healing his injuries.
"Grandpa, take a look at this token."
"Um?"
The old man took the token with a puzzled look, and following the boy's instructions, infused it with a wisp of magic power. Then, a flash of inspiration struck him...
After a while, his tone became somewhat serious as he asked, "Lingyu, where did you get this from?"
"It was obtained from the storage bags of those three cultivators who had robbed the cultivators."
"So, do you think it's true or false?"
"I can't make a judgment, but we're not far from Tianshui County. Two days should be enough to get there. I think we should ask Uncle Xingyao to come and take a look..."
The old man fell silent for a moment in response to Zhang Lingyu's answer.
The allure of inheriting the Golden Elixir True Person's legacy is indeed great, but it also carries considerable risks.
If anything goes wrong and the family's Foundation Establishment stage is destroyed, then the Zhang family's hard-won achievements today will vanish in an instant.
"I don't think there's any rush. Let's discuss it again after your Uncle Xingyao comes back and see whether we should go or not."
After thinking for a while, Zhang Yuanhua decided to put the matter aside for the time being. Even if he were to go, he would wait until Zhang Lingyu had finished refining the six flying swords and Zhang Xinghao and Zhang Lingyu had succeeded. Otherwise, with almost the entire family involved in the Foundation Establishment stage, it would be easy for outsiders to covet the property.
Besides, even if something bad happens, the family line can still be passed down, right?
"Lingyu understands."
Zhang Lingyu had no objection to this. The cave dwelling left by True Person Mingyu was very well hidden and could only be opened with a token, so there was no need to rush.
However, there are Golden Core families in Tianshui County, specifically the two cultivators we encountered in the Jade Spirit Valley Secret Realm.
Given their methods, discovering the location of the cave might not mean they wouldn't have a way to break into it.
To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, he decided to first send some Night Owl Guards to Tianshui County to scout out the situation.
Over the years, Zhang Lingyu secretly selected some cultivators from various parts of the family to become Night Owl Guards in order to cover up his intelligence system. Of course, it can't be said that they were completely useless; a lot of useful intelligence was also presented to him by them.
"Okay, since there are no objections, let's put it this way for now."
The old man returned the token first, then took out several jade bottles from his storage bag and handed them to the boy, saying with a smile, "Spirit Jade, I've recently finished refining the pills you asked me to make a year ago. Take a look and see how they are."
"How could I not trust the pills refined by my great-grandfather?"
Zhang Lingyu happily accepted the pills. Since taking over as clan leader, he had spent most of his free time cultivating and had no time to refine pills. Fortunately, with Zhang Yuanhua around, the pills that aided in cultivating the "Lingxuan Nourishing Soul Scripture" were successfully refined.
"In this way, this method can be further improved."
After finalizing the arrangements for the inheritance cave, the two decided to first send a message to Zhang Xingyao, who was stationed at the spirit stone mine.
Of course, it wasn't about making him rush back immediately, but simply letting him know that this was happening, so he could be mentally prepared for what was to come.
After discussing the matter, Zhang Lingyu was about to return to his courtyard when he unexpectedly received a message. After reading it, he immediately beamed with joy.
"Lingyu, what's wrong?"
Seeing the boy's overjoyed expression, Zhang Yuanhua curiously came over as well. After reading the message, he was equally thrilled, laughing loudly, "Excellent! Excellent! Xinghao and Yuanyi have indeed lived up to the family's expectations; they have finally achieved Foundation Establishment!"
"Haha, my Zhang family has gained two more Foundation Establishment cultivators!"
