Chapter 76 Harvest
With a flash of cold light, the toad's head detached from its body, and foul-smelling black liquid gushed out. Yu Huai quickly dodged away from the demon's back, avoiding the black liquid.
Yu Huai looked up.
The black jade night-watching toad, several meters in size, lay on the ground, its pupils still open, but it was no longer moving.
It must be dead!
Yu Huai pondered for a moment, then unleashed several more spells, blasting the man's head until it was unrecognizable before stopping.
After putting away the Qing Sui Sword, Yu Huai walked towards the bronze coffin where Yao Mai was. Seeing that he was still unconscious, he went up to check on him and confirmed that he was really alright. He didn't rush to wake him up, but instead looked at the bronze boxes that were indicated by the [Qi Luck].
Yu Huai glanced at them, and using [Instant Flash], he arrived beside the boxes in the blink of an eye. He took out the Qing Sui Sword and opened the box that [Luck] was guiding him to.
I waited for a while.
Nothing happened.
Looking inside, Yu Huai saw several books and a palm-sized, dark black jade tablet.
These boxes are peculiar. It's clear that a long time has passed here, but the contents are remarkably well-preserved; the books are only slightly yellowed.
Ok?
Everything here seems to be guided by "luck".
Yu Huai hesitated for a moment, then sensed it again and realized that it was true. He then took out a book, opened it, and glanced at it.
The characters haven't changed much, so he can still roughly recognize them.
Not long after.
After reading it, Yu Huai was filled with many thoughts. He suddenly understood many things, put the book away, and turned to look at the coffin placed in the center of the place.
Beast Control Sect!
Unexpectedly, Qingyue Mountain was once the headquarters of a major Golden Core sect, whose disciples specialized in training by controlling demonic beasts to defend against enemies.
No wonder there are so many monsters and cave ruins here.
Yu Huai thought to himself, feeling a mix of emotions.
This book is untitled, but it records the life and deeds of a monk.
This cultivator was named Lin Jing, a Golden Core cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect, and the ancient cultivator mentioned by Yu Huai and the other man. This place was his burial site.
This Master Lin Jing lived a very ordinary life and died an ordinary death, which is regrettable, but it is also the final destination of the vast majority of cultivators.
He was born with a top-grade spiritual root, and both his parents were elders of the Beast Taming Sect, which made his cultivation path smooth. He finally broke through to the Golden Core stage at the age of one hundred.
However, in his subsequent cultivation, the lack of resources for Golden Core cultivation in the Qinghe Continent caused his cultivation to stagnate completely.
He had considered leaving Qinghe Continent and venturing to the open sea to find a new way out, but when he arrived at a stormy sea after a long journey, he stopped and retreated.
As for the reason, it is not recorded, so Yu Huai did not know.
As for this sea, he left only one name.
Severing the Immortal Sea!
That stormy sea area was called the Immortal-Severing Sea.
After returning to his sect, he humbled himself and became an elder of the Beast Taming Sect, devoting himself to the governance of the sect until he died five hundred years later when his lifespan was exhausted.
Even a powerful Golden Core cultivator will eventually run out of lifespan!
Ugh.
Without growth and life, one can never escape returning to dust. Even with extraordinary cultivation, one is nothing more than a fleeting illusion in this world.
Over time, and through the ravages of cultivators, this place is no longer what it once was; even the great array recorded here has disappeared.
The original black jade night-guarding toad seemed to be one of this person's spirit beasts, specifically guarding its master's tomb.
However, the Black Jade Night-Watching Toad mentioned in the text is a third-tier demon beast, while the one he just killed was only a first-tier top-grade one, which should just be a descendant of this demon from countless generations ago.
The true Tier 3 Black Jade Night Watcher Toad had long since passed away, just like its master.
No wonder it was able to awaken its innate divine power at the first-tier top-grade level; it turns out it is a descendant of a third-tier demon beast, though its bloodline must be quite diluted.
With a sigh, Yu Huai looked around the place again, and finally his gaze settled on the black jade night toad, thinking to himself.
However, I don't know if there are any records of that Broken Immortal Sea in the Qingxuan Sect. We can check it later.
However, he was only at the late stage of Qi Refining, so things about the Golden Core were still a bit far removed from his life. He just kept a watchful eye on it and then turned his attention back to the box.
This jade pendant?
Yu Huai then took out the jade plaque from the box and examined it.
Ok?
An elder's decree?!
The jade tablet has the words "Beast Taming Sect" engraved on the front and "Elder?" on the back.
This should be the token of Lin Jing Zhenren.
But now that the Beast Taming Sect has been destroyed for who knows how many years, what use is this Elder's Token?
However, this elder's token can attract [luck], so it might be useful in the future. Let's keep it for now.
Yu Huai was somewhat puzzled, but still put it into his storage bag.
He was originally split 20/80 with Yao Ming and had saved him many times, so he didn't feel any psychological pressure now that he had taken some.
After putting away the elder's token, Yu Huai looked again at the two remaining books in the box.
Not long after.
Yu Huai was overjoyed and put away the two books, and also took the peculiar box containing them, before turning his attention to the remaining boxes.
One of the books was exactly what he was looking for: the subsequent cultivation methods of the "Great Chun Body Forging Technique," which contained detailed records of the stages from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core.
As for the other book, called "The New Technique of Returning to the Myriad Beasts," it was an ancient method for enhancing spiritual sense. Yu Huai only glanced at it briefly and didn't have time to look at it in detail, but since it could enhance spiritual sense, it was a highly valuable technique.
Yu Huai looked through all the boxes.
It mostly contained ordinary items such as spirit stones, pills, and talismans.
These spirit stones were clearly different from the low-grade spirit stones he usually used.
Even though time has passed and much of the spiritual energy within has dissipated, the remaining spiritual energy is still far more concentrated than that of a low-grade spirit stone.
This reminded Yu Huai of a kind of spirit stone.
Top-grade spirit stones!
Spirit stones have been the currency used among cultivators since ancient times.
Based on the spiritual power they contain, spirit stones can be divided into low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade, and it is said that there will be a supreme-grade spirit stone in the future.
However, no cultivator on the Qinghe Continent has ever seen a top-grade spirit stone, yet for some reason, news of top-grade spirit stones has been circulating.
High-grade spirit stones are a cultivation resource that only Golden Core cultivators can possess.
I never expected to obtain a high-grade spirit stone here.
However, these boxes were clearly not specifically for storing spirit stones, so the number of high-grade spirit stones was not large; a quick scan revealed only a few.
With a wave of his hand, Yu Huai put these high-grade spirit stones into his storage bag, showing no intention of leaving them for Yao Mai.
As for those pills, although the box maintained their medicinal power, over time their potency had clearly diminished considerably, and they were no longer safe to consume.
Even though the medicinal effects are still present, Yu Huai himself will not use these long-stored pills.
Ok?
Yu Huai suddenly spotted another book, picked it up and scanned it, and was overjoyed. He put it away, then carefully examined the box several times. Finding nothing in it, he stopped, closed the box again, and went to wake Yao Mai.
