As 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...]
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?”
