Chapter 400As Lu Qing’s gaze swept over his surroundings, a faint purple radiance of spiritual energy shimmered into view. [Five Elements Spiritual Liquid: A treasure formed from the quintessence of Five Elements Spiritual Qi.] [This treasure is the foundation for nurturing the Five Elements Lotus of unparalleled quality. It contains an immense life force capable of resurrecting the dead and regenerating flesh and bones, possessing extraordinary medicinal power.] [For cultivators, absorbing this liquid can increase their cultivation, transform their physical body, and establish the foundation for a Five Elements Dao Body.] ... [Five Elements Essence Stones: Origin stones that have undergone transformation from prolonged nourishment by Five Elements Spiritual Qi and Earth Vein Magnetism.] [Precious materials for refining artifacts, brimming with spiritual energy, they can also replenish a cultivator's spiritual power.] ... [Five Elements Spiritual Soil: Spiritual soil enriched with the power of the Five Elements...] “As expected, not only is the spiritual liquid in this pool extraordinary, but even the stones forming the pool and the surrounding soil are treasures,” Lu Qing murmured, his expression lighting up with joy. He had surmised that any location capable of nurturing a Five Elements Lotus, such a supreme spiritual herb, must also possess extraordinary materials to sustain its growth. Most notable was the Five Elements Spiritual Liquid, which also emanated a brilliant purple radiance, marking it as an exceptional treasure. The information about its properties confirmed its immense value to him, with immediate applicability. After thoroughly surveying the area, Lu Qing did not hesitate further. A jade box engraved with intricate runes appeared in his hand. He stepped forward, carefully plucking the Five Elements Lotus and placing it into the jade box before storing it in his Heaven and Earth One Qi Bag. The jade box had been specially refined by him using the secret techniques passed down from the Li Huo Sect. As a renowned sect skilled in refining artifacts and alchemy, Li Huo Sect’s preservation methods were unique. The special seals on this jade box ensured the herb’s potency would remain intact. Having secured the jade box, Lu Qing finally felt a measure of relief. With the greatest opportunity of this secret realm in his possession, his efforts on this trip were already worthwhile. However, Lu Qing had no intention of leaving immediately. A black jade bottle appeared in his hand. According to his earlier investigation, the other materials here were also treasures, and he had no intention of leaving them behind. With a thought, the black jade bottle floated above the spiritual pool, its mouth tilting downward to face the liquid below. In the next moment, a powerful suction force emerged, and the Five Elements Spiritual Liquid began to flow into the bottle in an unending stream. Before long, the black jade bottle had absorbed all the liquid from the pool, leaving it completely dry. Satisfied, Lu Qing weighed the bottle in his hand. This jade bottle was something he had seized from a demonic cultivator in the Sacred City. Containing its own internal space, it was more than capable of storing the significant quantity of spiritual liquid without issue. Storing the bottle in his Heaven and Earth One Qi Bag, Lu Qing turned his attention to the Five Elements Essence Stones. Moments later, when Lu Qing finally stopped his work, the spiritual pool that had nurtured the Five Elements Lotus was unrecognizable. Not only had all the Five Elements Essence Stones been excavated, but the surrounding spiritual soil had also been completely dug up. Looking at the desolate scene before him, Lu Qing sighed softly. This spiritual pool, capable of nurturing a Five Elements Lotus, was undoubtedly a sacred site. If he had the luxury, he would not have chosen to destroy it. Unfortunately, time was pressing. When the entrance to the secret realm stabilized earlier, the resulting disturbance was far too great. By now, it was likely that numerous experts were already making their way to the Hundred Thousand Mountains. While he wasn’t overly concerned about most of them, the two mysterious individuals suspected to be otherworldly visitors were a significant threat. Faced with this urgency, Lu Qing could no longer afford hesitation or sentimentality. After ensuring he had gathered everything into his Heaven and Earth One Qi Bag, he scanned the surroundings once more to confirm there were no overlooked treasures. Finally, he summoned his golden flying boat and soared towards the secret realm’s entrance. Though this realm might hold other treasures, Lu Qing had no intention of lingering further. Greed could be a fatal flaw. Having already secured the greatest opportunity, he was content to leave the smaller gains for others to fight over. The risk of encountering those two mysterious figures outweighed any potential reward. The golden flying boat transformed into a streak of light, racing through the skies. Midway through his journey, Lu Qing sensed something amiss. “Hmm? Someone has already entered?” Looking down, he saw several figures cautiously exploring the forest within the secret realm. Judging by their auras, they were all martial experts at the level of Mid Precelestial Realm or higher. It was apparent from their wary behavior that these individuals were not all on the same side. Lu Qing made no effort to conceal his presence, so when his gaze swept downward, the figures below felt his attention and instinctively looked up. When they saw a mysterious figure standing atop a golden flying boat, wearing a ghost-face mask, staring coldly down at them, an intense wave of fear overwhelmed them. Anyone capable of flying through the air must possess strength far beyond their own. This ghost-masked individual was undoubtedly a terrifying expert beyond the Precelestial Realm. The martial experts froze in place, not daring to move a muscle for fear of provoking the wrath of this mysterious figure and courting death. Fortunately for them, the ghost-masked man did not appear to be bloodthirsty. After a cold glance, he transformed into a golden streak of light and continued toward the entrance. Only after confirming that the ghost-masked figure had indeed left did the group finally breathe a collective sigh of relief. Their tightly wound nerves relaxed, and cold sweat dripped from their foreheads. “What a terrifying presence. Brother Qiu, do you have any idea who that was?” one of the experts asked, wiping the sweat from his brow. “Brother Wang, you give me too much credit. How could I possibly know the identity of someone so powerful?” replied the burly man with a wry smile. “I might have an idea about who that was,” a middle-aged woman suddenly interjected. “Oh? Lady Zhao, do you know this person’s identity?” The others immediately turned to her. “If I’m not mistaken, that was the same mysterious individual who recently caused a massacre in the Western State, forcing Xuankong Mountain, one of the Four Great Secret Realms, to hide within their hidden realm!” “It’s him?!” The others were collectively stunned. ... Lu Qing paid no heed to the martial experts entering the secret realm. He continued onward, and during this journey, he encountered another wave of newcomers, whom he similarly ignored. Soon, he reached the secret realm’s entrance and stepped through. However, the moment he emerged back in the mountain valley, he was met with an onslaught of sword light, blade energy, and countless concealed weapons, all intent on shredding him to pieces.
