Looking at the wooden chest in front of him, Shun Long was actually stunned for a mont, as he then mumbled to himself in a voice filled with disbelief
''This is... actually made from an 'Elderwood King tree'?''
Although Shun Long hadn't noticed this back in the 'Dragon Lord's villa', since he had grabbed the chest in a hurry and placed it inside the 'Stone of Ti', now that he observed it carefully, he was shocked when he realized this 'minor' detail.
At the sa ti, after hearing Shun Long mumbling to himself in a shocked voice, Liu i couldn't help ask curiously
''Long-ge, is this 'Elderwood King tree' very rare?''
Nodding his head, Shun Long looked at Liu i before he said
''It isn't only rare, it is also extrely valuable, even among rank 6 trees. A rank 6 'Elderwood tree' will take a thousand years to mature. Upon reaching maturity, its wood becos extrely durable, and can be used to create powerful gold-grade weapons like bows, arrows and staffs.
Among a thousand rank 6 'Elderwood trees' however, there is a small chance for a single rank 6 'Elderwood King tree' to appear! That tree will continue to grow, and it will take 7000 years until it reaches maturity.
Not only is the wood of the 'Elderwood King tree' even sturdier than the normal 'Elderwood trees' by many tis, but it can also be used as a supplentary ingredient to create high-grade and even top-grade rank 6 pills.''
Although Liu i wasn't an alchemist or a formation master, it wasn't difficult for her to realize the value of the 'Elderwood King tree' after hearing Shun Long's explanation.
This tree was a real treasure that could be used to create both rank 6 pills, as well as gold-grade weapons.
And yet, such a tree had simply been used to create a simple-looking chest.
As he continued to stare at it, Shun Long also noticed various runes that were carved on the chest's surface.
Although Shun Long wasn't too knowledgeable regarding formations, he could vaguely make out that the formations on the chest weren't dangerous, but instead, they were used to protect it from any attacks.
Ignoring the formations on the chest's surface, Shun Long took a deep breath, before he pushed the chest open.
Shun Long and Liu i, as well as Little Black and even Little Silver inside the 'Stone of Ti', all watched with rapt attention as the chest slowly opened.
However, contrary to what Shun Long had originally expected, there was nothing else inside the chest aside from a single white jade.
Shun Long was stunned for a mont, and he didn't even try to pick up the white jade.
He had originally expected that there would either be a spatial ring filled with treasures, or a star rank weapon similar to the black sword and the translucent armor.
After all, since this chest was placed directly in front of the golden throne, and since the chest itself was made from a rank 6 'Elderwood King tree', the chest's contents were certainly valuable.
However, after hesitating for a mont, Shun Long still placed his hand inside the chest and picked up the white jade.
The jade was actually cold to the touch while its edges seed to have been carved ticulously, but there didn't seem to be anything too special about it.
Before Shun Long could even ask Little Black if he knew what this jade was, Little Black exclaid in a sowhat surprised voice
''Master, this is a mory jade. This jade is usually used, when a cultivator at the Dao Emperor realm or above wants to record a ssage and pass it down to their descendants.''
Although Shun Long had never heard of the term mory jade before, since this jade was actually stored inside the wooden chest, its contents were definitely nothing simple.
At the sa ti that Little Black finished his words, a powerful soul sense erupted from Shun Long's body subrging the entire room under its terrifying pressure.
Little Black stared intently at the mory jade in Shun Long's hands, before he shook his head a few monts later, and said in a relieved voice as he retracted his soul sense
''Thankfully, there is no soul inside that jade trying to take over master's body.
It is actually not uncommon for cultivators to hide part of their souls inside a mory jade, and once a 'lucky' cultivator finds the jade and activates it, they will also find the soul hidden inside it invading their body.
If that person is lucky and the soul hiding inside the jade is weak, there will usually be no problem to expel it before it can wrest control of their body.
However, in the case that the soul is too powerful, it isn't impossible for that person to die, and the soul inside the jade to take control of that body!''
Shun Long suddenly realized that he had actually neglected this matter.
Although he had originally been confident, that he could fight or escape against most enemies, he had actually had neglected the fact that Nascent Soul stage experts also had the ability to take over other cultivators' bodies.
It wasn't impossible for the soul of a powerful expert to hide itself inside the jade, and attack him when he wouldn't expect it.
Although Shun Long was confident that there was a very high chance for the 'Stone of Ti' to protect him in such a situation since it was rged with his soul, it still wasn't a risk that he was willing to take.
Closing his eyes, Shun Long first cald down his agitated emotions, before he sent his spirit sense inside the 'Stone of Ti' and asked Little Black
''Little Black, how do I activate this mory jade?''
''Master only needs to inject your qi inside the jade to activate it, before you send your spirit sense inside it.''
Nodding his head, Shun Long opened his eyes and circulated the 'Monarch's Hourglass', before he injected his qi inside the white jade in his hands.
A pale white light appeared from the jade, growing brighter and brighter as Shun Long infused more and more of his qi inside it.
Less than 10 breaths of ti later, after feeling that the light from the white jade had finally reached its peak, Shun Long closed his eyes, before his spirit sense was absorbed inside the jade.
