Chapter 69 Obtaining the Inheritance
"According to the intelligence system, the inheritance of the 'Spiritual Profound Soul Nourishing Scripture' is in the secret chamber beneath this alchemy furnace."
Zhang Lingyu stroked the alchemy furnace with one hand. A Foundation Establishment level alchemy furnace is much more valuable than an ordinary Foundation Establishment magic weapon. It is worth at least 30,000 spirit stones, which is equivalent to a Foundation Establishment pill.
The fact that it's casually placed in the center of the cave shows just how arrogant Tianji Sanren is.
"I wonder who this person is."
Zhang Lingyu was very curious, but for now, he should focus on obtaining the inheritance first, as it might be mentioned in the inheritance itself.
Since the alchemy furnace was unclaimed, it became his possession simply by being subtly imbued with his magical power and divine soul. After flipping his hand and putting the furnace into his storage bag, he began searching for the hidden compartment beneath it.
After nearly fifteen minutes, a sound of vibration came from beneath their feet, and then a secret passage was revealed.
Zhang Lingyu descended the steps and walked for about half an incense stick's time before finally arriving at the so-called place of inheritance.
Inside the cave, a towering statue, three zhang tall, stood majestically at the top.
The statue is carved entirely from jade, and despite the passage of time, it remains spotless, with a faint radiance flowing across its surface.
Its face is solemn, with a long beard reaching its chest and eyes slightly closed, as if it is pondering the mysteries of heaven and earth. On either side of the statue, two humanoid puppets stand silently like guardians.
"This must be the Hermit of Heavenly Secrets."
Zhang Lingyu was somewhat shocked by the scene. She solemnly bowed to the statue, then silently sensed the two humanoid puppets. Upon this examination, she immediately exclaimed:
"They're actually two Foundation Establishment level puppets!"
Although the puppet stood motionless, its mere presence sent chills down one's spine. If it had been two Foundation Establishment puppets attacking them, they would have been dead long ago.
He secretly marveled at the other party's wealth and power, then lowered his gaze.
Below the statue is a jade table made of black ice, on which only three green jade slips are quietly displayed. The middle jade slip is inscribed with the five characters "Lingxuan Yanghun Jing".
The brushstrokes flow like dragons and snakes, making them very pleasing to the eye.
"This must be the legacy of the Hermit of Heavenly Secrets."
Zhang Lingyu gently picked up the jade slip and placed it between his eyebrows. Instantly, a massive amount of text flooded into his mind, and the immense pain caused him to unconsciously take a large step back.
......
Fortunately, after a long time, he finally opened his eyes. Although his back was already soaked with sweat, the joy on his face grew even stronger.
According to Tianji Sanren in the jade slip, the "Lingxuan Nourishing Soul Scripture" is a sixth-grade technique. After completing the first volume, it greatly enhances the cultivator's soul.
"Upon reaching the minor completion stage, one's divine sense becomes like a net, capable of covering an area of ten miles, revealing every minute detail."
"Upon mastery, one can see through illusions and evil spirits."
"At the point of perfection, the soul can briefly leave the body and travel thousands of miles at night without dispersing."
When Zhang Lingyu read this, he was filled with enthusiasm. It can be said that this "Spiritual Profound Soul Nourishing Scripture" has a great deal to do with all aspects of the soul.
To cultivate this method, one must wait until midnight when the moonlight is at its strongest, using the power of the moonlight to temper the sea of consciousness, making the divine consciousness as deep and boundless as the ocean, endless and continuous.
If paired with special spiritual objects, the effect can be twice as good with half the effort.
Zhang Lingyu was no stranger to such spiritual objects; the Soul Gathering Flower he obtained from Xiaohe Village had the same effect.
Practicing this method can enhance one's divine sense, not only increasing the range of one's detection ability significantly compared to other cultivators of the same level, but also allowing one to quickly react to other cultivators probing one's presence.
As for multitasking and simultaneously controlling multiple magical artifacts, it's an easy task.
However, the most important thing is that it greatly enhances and resists many spells. If he has cultivated the "Spiritual Profound Soul Nourishing Scripture" beforehand, Huan Xue'er's illusions will have no effect on him at all, and may even backfire on him.
Needless to say, possession is almost impossible, and one would most likely be devoured.
"This is truly an excellent technique."
Zhang Lingyu couldn't help but praise it. This cultivation method is divided into three volumes. This volume corresponds to Qi Refining and Foundation Building, and the remaining two volumes can only be obtained when he breaks through to the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages.
Fortunately, the location of the second inheritance was recorded in the jade slip, and he could obtain it when he reached a certain level of strength.
Unfortunately, in the end, Tianji Sanren never revealed who he was. In the jade slip, he described himself as a rogue cultivator who loved to travel around.
As for this inheritance, it was because he felt he could no longer stay in this world, so he left behind the inheritance, not wanting his skills to be tarnished.
"This Celestial Mystery Hermit is clearly a cultivator who has ascended to the Upper Realm, yet he still claims to be some nobody. If he really wants to leave behind a legacy, wouldn't it be better to take on a few more disciples?"
Zhang Lingyu muttered a few words to himself, then knelt on the prayer mat in front of the statue, kowtowed three times, and respectfully said:
"Junior Zhang Lingyu is fortunate to have received the senior's teachings today. Junior thanks the senior for passing on the Dharma."
Regardless, having received the inheritance of the "Spiritual Profound Soul Nourishing Scripture," he had already become the other party's only disciple in this realm.
"Knock knock knock".
After kowtowing, Zhang Lingyu slowly stood up. As soon as he raised his head, the statue in front of him shook and then collapsed in the next second, turning into countless dust particles that drifted away.
"This...could it be that it heard my inner grumbling?"
He was so frightened by this strange occurrence that he couldn't speak for a long time. After waiting for a while and seeing that there was no further movement, he finally felt relieved and turned to look at the two Foundation Establishment puppets.
According to Tianji Sanren, since someone has obtained the inheritance he left behind, there must be corresponding means of protection. These two puppets were given to this disciple who inherited the inheritance.
However, to control it, one must first cultivate the "Spiritual Profound Soul Nourishing Scripture" to a minor level.
Otherwise, the moment it is activated, one's soul and magical power will be instantly drained.
"It's alright, just keep these two in your storage bag for now, and use the two peak Qi Refining ones first."
Zhang Lingyu casually put the puppet away, but the thought of the two Qi-refining puppets gave her a headache. She hadn't expected things to turn out this way, and she would have to find someone to repair them after they got out.
After confirming that there was nothing else in the inheritance cave below, he returned to the main hall above and began to put all kinds of items into his storage bag.
Especially those jade slips of different colors, those were items left behind by Tianji Sanren in his early years of cultivation, and the different cultivation methods were distinguished by color.
Green jade slips mostly contain cultivation techniques, white jade slips record elixir formulas, and black jade slips contain cultivation insights.
However, Zhang Lingyu didn't have time to care about any of that right now. She stuffed everything into her storage bag. When she was about to leave, she turned around and looked at the corpses of Gao Hong and the others behind her, and sighed inwardly.
He didn't do anything, but quickly flew out of the cave, called the two spirit pets back to the spirit beast pouch, and then gathered his magic power to seal the cave entrance again.
After doing all this, he cast the "Rainbow Transformation Technique" and flew towards Tianliu City.
