Chapter 531: Gift of Treasures
The previous Jade Slips introduced various demonic beasts and formulas for certain pills, but the young girl quickly lost interest and ignored them.
However, when she used her spiritual awareness to look at the contents of the last Jade Slip, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Inside was a cultivation method called "Golden Truth Technique." Curious, she studied it more deeply for a while and was immediately captivated by its content. Holding the Jade Slip, she spent nearly half an hour engrossed in reading it before blankly withdrawing her spiritual awareness, her face full of shock.
This "Golden Truth Technique" was actually a rare top-tier cultivation method. But how could such an important method be left so casually on the stone table without any protective restrictions?
Although the girl understood the value of this technique, after hesitating for a moment, she reluctantly placed the Jade Slip back where she found it and continued to examine the others with great interest.
After more than half a day, the girl had gone through all the Jade Slips on the stone table. Most of them were texts on pill formulations, magic formations, and other miscellaneous cultivation knowledge. Only a few were cultivation techniques, but each one was top-tier.
Among them, a method called "Entwining Jade Technique" excited her the most.
Qingling Sect was just a small sect in the Chaotic Star Sea, and its main cultivation method, "Qingling Technique," was relatively stable but lacked power compared to the "Entwining Jade Technique."
After finishing these Jade Slips, the girl stood in the room in a daze for a while before remembering there were other places she hadn't explored.
After some thought, she left the stone house and returned to the main hall.
Two of the other three archways were still blocked by giant apes standing guard, but one remained open for her to enter.
Passing through the archway, the girl arrived before a rather large stone hall.
As soon as she entered, she was stunned, frozen in place.
In front of her was a hall over twenty zhang wide. In the center was a huge magic formation about ten zhang in diameter, from which a faint red, crystalline light shield shimmered and flickered beautifully.
Inside the light shield, a dozen or so small swords, short spears, and various other weapons of different styles flickered uncertainly. Some emitted faint clear ringing sounds, others clashed and chased each other — all appeared highly sentient.
Outside the shield, near the walls, were several simple double-layer wooden racks, each layer holding many magical artifacts in various colors.
Although these magical artifacts weren't as spiritually vibrant as those inside the shield, each still flickered faintly with luster, emanating strong spiritual energy.
The girl had never seen such things before, but she knew only legendary magical treasures could possess such spiritual intelligence.
Though she longed for magical treasures, seeing so many suddenly before her made her find it hard to believe. Her big black eyes were full of astonishment.
After a long while, she regained composure, glanced a few more times at the light shield with a curious gaze, then hesitantly approached one of the wooden racks.
She casually picked up a dark iron ruler-shaped magical artifact and inspected it slightly, discovering that something so inconspicuous was actually a high-grade magical artifact.
Perhaps overwhelmed by previous shock, the girl now showed no particularly surprised expression.
She continued to examine the others one by one. Apart from high-grade magical artifacts, the racks only contained top-tier artifacts—no others at all.
Had she obtained any of these artifacts before, she would have leapt with joy.
But now, looking at the many magical treasures and nearly a hundred magical artifacts in the room, she recalled her identity connected to the Furnace Vessel and sadly left the room empty-handed.
...
Two days later, the girl sat on a round stone stool inside the stone chamber where the Jade Slips were kept, clutching one and reading with her spiritual awareness, her face full of concentration, completely absorbed by the contents.
