Chapter 419"Is this what a Spirit Stone looks like?" In the Lu family, Lu Qing’s mind had just withdrawn from the Li Huo Cauldron. At this moment, he was holding a translucent, jade-like object in his hand, examining it closely. This was the very Spirit Stone that had even caused Yan to tremble with excitement. Lu Qing had already taken stock of the items within the spatial ring. It had to be said that the wealth of a cultivator in the Golden Core Realm was indeed remarkable. The ring contained various pills, spiritual herbs, and elixirs, all of which were of significant grade. Any one of them would be enough to spark fierce competition among cultivators. Now, all these treasures had fallen into Lu Qing’s hands. With these resources, he could sustain his cultivation for quite some time. Among all the items, the small pile of Spirit Stones was what Yan valued the most. According to Yan, no matter how potent a pill was, it inevitably contained pill toxins, and overconsumption could be harmful. However, Spirit Stones were different. The spiritual essence contained within them was exceptionally pure and gentle, making them easily absorbable by cultivators. They were one of the best resources for stabilizing one's foundation and increasing cultivation. Spirit Stones also held immense value in formation creation and artifact refinement. The unfortunate truth was that Spirit Stones were exceedingly rare. They only formed in areas of highly concentrated spiritual essence under immense pressure. These places were often either deep underground or beneath the ocean, making mining them extraordinarily difficult. Even during the peak of the previous Immortal Era, the production of Spirit Stones was limited, and most were hoarded by major sects as strategic resources. Using Spirit Stones for cultivation was considered a luxurious extravagance. Only the core disciples of major sects might occasionally be granted one or two Spirit Stones for their cultivation. It was precisely because of this rarity that Yan had reacted so strongly upon seeing the small pile of Spirit Stones. To put it into perspective, the Spirit Stones stored in the Li Huo Sect’s treasury during its prime weren’t much more numerous than what Lu Qing now possessed. "Indeed, the spiritual essence within these Spirit Stones is exceptionally dense," Lu Qing remarked, sensing the spiritual fluctuations emanating from the stone in his hand. A faint smile appeared on his face. Before he had broken through, even a single Spirit Stone like this could have sustained his cultivation for a considerable amount of time. And this was merely a low-grade Spirit Stone. From his earlier investigation with his spiritual powers, Lu Qing had learned that Spirit Stones were classified into four grades: low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and supreme-grade. With each grade increase, the purity of the spiritual essence within the stone multiplied by at least tenfold. Naturally, their rarity and value also increased exponentially. The Spirit Stones left by the white-robed youth consisted primarily of low-grade and mid-grade stones, with low-grade ones being the majority. There wasn’t a single high-grade Spirit Stone, let alone a supreme-grade one. It was clear that even in the Great World, Spirit Stones above high-grade were considered rare treasures, even for cultivators in the Golden Core Realm. "And then there’s this." Lu Qing put the Spirit Stones away and brought out a jade slip. This jade slip was also retrieved from the white-robed youth’s spatial ring. There were several jade slips like this one. The runes on the jade slip were somewhat familiar to Lu Qing. Though slightly different from what he had seen before, he could recognize them as the type used to craft Inheritance Jade Slips. Activating his spiritual powers, Lu Qing studied the jade slip. Soon, faint purple light emerged from the slip, along with lines of floating text. Inheritance Jade Slip: A type of jade slip that can record and transmit information. Those who have cultivated Soul Power can engrave information onto these special jade slips, leaving behind their inheritances. Without cultivating Soul Power, it is difficult to access the information within the jade slip. Detected cultivation technique inheritance. Begin download simulation? “Download,” Lu Qing immediately instructed upon seeing the prompt. He was naturally curious about the techniques used by cultivators from the white-robed youth’s world. If the jade slip contained information about other worlds, it would be even more valuable. As for why he didn’t directly use his spiritual sense to read the information, it was because he knew the risks. From Yan, Lu Qing had learned that many sects in the past would set restrictive spells on their Inheritance Jade Slips to prevent their techniques from being leaked. If an outsider attempted to access the information, these restrictions would destroy the jade slip. Lu Qing wasn’t sure whether the jade slips left by the white-robed youth were similarly restricted. To be cautious, he opted not to take the risk. With his spiritual powers, he could access the information more safely and efficiently. Downloading… Progress: 1%, 2%, 3%… 98%, 99%, 100%. Download complete. Begin simulation? Lu Qing chose "Yes" without hesitation. Simulating… Progress: 1%, 2%, 3%… 98%, 99%, 100%. Simulation complete. Begin learning? Once again, Lu Qing selected "Yes." The next moment, a flood of insights poured into his mind. Closing his eyes, Lu Qing began to comprehend the information transmitted by his spiritual powers. ... While Lu Qing immersed himself in the comprehension of the inheritance techniques, far away in Zhongzhou, a streak of light pierced through the sky at incredible speed. When the light reached the outskirts of Zhongzhou, it suddenly halted. A white-robed man held another individual in his grasp as he looked down in astonishment at a massive fissure stretching across the mountain range below. At a glance, it was clear that the fissure had been carved by some mighty existence wielding immense power. The exact cultivation level of the individual responsible was beyond the white-robed man’s understanding. Even though he was at the Fourth Rotation of the Golden Core Realm, he couldn’t achieve something of this magnitude. After staring at the ancient fissure for a while, feeling the primordial aura emanating from it, he finally calmed himself. He estimated that the fissure must have existed for tens of thousands of years. Looking at the person in his grip, he asked, "Is this what you called Azure Dragon Pass?" The captured man trembled, his face pale as he gazed down. Despite being in the Peak Innate Stage, he knew that falling from this height would leave him as nothing more than a pile of flesh. Not daring to delay, he quickly replied, his voice shaking: "Reporting to you, Great One, this is indeed Azure Dragon Pass. The fissure below is called One Line Sky Gorge, and the city down there is Azure Dragon City. "As for the Cangzhou you wish to reach, you need only leave Azure Dragon Pass and head eastward to get there." After speaking, the man couldn’t help but glance down again. From this vantage point, the outline of Azure Dragon City resembled the footprint of a massive creature. And the One Line Sky Gorge… it looked eerily like a sword mark. "Eastward, is it?" The white-robed man gazed toward the eastern horizon. A moment later, he transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the distance.
