He quickly put the bone banner back into the ring, and Charlotte ca back to her senses.
"This must be the talisman of that demonic cultivator—truly eerie and unsettling!" Charlotte said, her face pale and covered in cold sweat. She let out a sigh of relief and remarked, "I didn't expect this talisman to be so powerful!"
"Yeah, it's quite impressive," Elijah wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"There are a few more talismans inside—one is a bell, another is a flag. They don't seem like good items. Should we take them out to inspect?"
"Better not. These talismans are too strange. If you haven't mastered the thod of refining and controlling them, it's best not to handle them recklessly!" Charlotte advised.
Elijah nodded in agreent. "I'll check the other items."
Elijah's mind delved back into the ring. This ti, he focused on items that did not clearly appear to be talismans.
Among them were several ceramic bottles that seed to contain elixirs.
Elijah did not touch these either, fearing they might contain sothing like corpse poison or even more dangerous substances.
For a demonic cultivator, such items were quite normal.
He then examined other objects, including a pile of stones emitting a Chi aura that Elijah recognized. He took out one piece, and Charlotte's eyes imdiately brightened.
"So rich in Chi!"
"Hmm, these must be Chi stones or spirit stones from the cultivation world," Elijah said, equally pleased.
"Are there many of these stones?"
"Yes, quite a lot—at least a thousand pieces!" Elijah replied.
"With these spirit stones, even if Chi is depleted in this world, we should be able to sustain our cultivation for so ti!" Charlotte said, her excitent palpable.
"Exactly!" Elijah felt a bit of relief, as the presence of these spirit stones gave him so direction for future plans.
"I'll take a look at the other items!"
This ti, Elijah worked quickly. The spirit stones disappeared from his hand, replaced by a tiny jade bamboo slip.
"What is this? What does it do?"
"It looks like a bamboo slip, which should store information. But it's so small, I'm not sure how to use it," Charlotte said.
"Since we've developed storage chips to keep information, it's reasonable that cultivators use these jade slips for the sa purpose. As for how to use it... it's likely a thod used by cultivators!"
"Spirit perception?" both Elijah and Charlotte said in unison.
Charlotte's spirit perception ability could observe Chi, which was the closest thing to a cultivator's thod.
"Then let's try using spirit perception!" Elijah suggested. He switched to Charlotte's ability and used spirit perception to envelop the jade slip.
"Boom!" Elijah felt a jolt in his mind as an overwhelming flood of information surged through his brain.
The information was composed of unfamiliar characters, but, like understanding an old man's language, Elijah could grasp the aning despite not recognizing the characters.
The flood of information was too vast for him to fully comprehend at once, but he was able to rember so fragnts and their anings.
Just those fragnts were enough to leave him astonished.
"This is... a cultivation thod, and it's from that demonic cultivator!" Elijah murmured.
What impressed him the most was the technique for refining corpse pills used by the demonic cultivator.
Corpse pills—elixirs condensed from corpse Chi!
As the saying goes, "Swallowing a golden pill ans my fate is in my own hands, not controlled by heaven!"
And that demonic cultivator, like the old man, was a Golden Pill Real Person!
"Cultivation thods of the demonic cultivator?" Charlotte was taken aback by Elijah's words.
"Yes, that's right. Although I've only understood part of it so far, the jade slip records the cultivation thods of that demonic cultivator!" Elijah nodded seriously.
At the sa ti, Elijah gained a general understanding of the cultivation realms in the demonic cultivator's world through the jade slip.
These realms could be roughly divided into Body Refinent, Chi Refinent, Foundation Establishnt, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Divine Transformation.
Comparing these realms to himself and other awakened individuals in his world, Elijah realized there was no direct comparison.
For example, cultivators in the Body Refinent stage have their vital energy and blood condensed into one.
In any aspect—strength, speed, or defense—they possess power comparable to a first-tier ability user.
Cultivators develop their abilities more comprehensively, unlike awakened individuals who excel in only one aspect.
This is sowhat similar to Elijah and the others who practiced Body Refinent techniques.
However, cultivators in the Body Refinent stage do not possess abilities such as water or fire control, which is an advantage of awakened individuals.
But in the Chi Refinent stage, things change.
Although cultivators may not be as adept at using specific abilities as awakened individuals, they can master various spells, unlike the more singular focus of awakened abilities.
Examples include: Spring Breeze Technique, Rain Transformation Technique, and tal Sword Technique.
The most important thing is that cultivators in the Chi Refinent stage can control talismans, draw runes, and use various powerful techniques, far surpassing what awakened individuals can do.
As for those in the Foundation Establishnt stage and above, their abilities are truly god-like!
Elijah shared this knowledge with Charlotte before diving back into studying the jade slip's cultivation thods.
Ti passed quickly, and when Elijah finally opened his eyes, the yacht was already docked at Azure Isle's pier. Fiona and the others had arrived and were waiting for him to wake up.
"We arrived early?" Elijah asked.
"Just recently," Fiona replied, glancing at the jade slip in Elijah's hand.
Daisy had already briefed Fiona on the trip's highlights, and seeing Elijah so engrossed in studying the jade slip gave Fiona an uneasy feeling.
"Well, let's head ho. I have so things to discuss with everyone!" Elijah said, putting away the jade slip and leading the way off the yacht.
That evening, as the won gradually returned to the Azure Isle villa, Elijah and the others recounted the events of their trip.
When the won learned the truth about the zombie virus outbreak—caused by a demonic cultivator's self-detonated corpse pill—they were all astonished and shocked.
They were equally stunned by the explanation of the otherworldly descent and the speculation about ancient myths and legends.
However, when it was revealed that there was a way to eliminate their own zombie virus and remove the threat, they felt a great sense of relief.
But when the story turned to the mysterious old man's wish to take a disciple, the room fell silent.
Everyone had a premonition that sothing troubling was coming.
