Su Xing felt a surge of joy in his heart, for among these jade slips were many that could make up for his deficiencies in the practice of magical techniques.
Beyond the jade slips, Su Xing also saw eight puppets.
Of these puppets, seven were at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection level!
"Goodness, these seven puppets are almost equivalent to seven Heavenly King level powerhouses!"
"Previously, that damned Zong had used these puppets in a combined attack technique. If the seven puppets coordinate well, they would be comparable to a Cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Stage!"
Su Xing tried to control the puppets, but failed.
The puppets had prohibitions left on them, and breaking through these would likely require so effort.
Especially since Su Xing had yet to master the art of puppetry, controlling these puppets imdiately seed difficult.
"However, this eighth puppet, I seem to have never seen it before..."
Su Xing was curious; it was a female puppet with an extrely beautiful appearance, seemingly crafted directly from a living person.
Moreover, this female puppet was dressed in an elegant skirt, making her look rather beautiful.
Most peculiarly, this puppet only possessed the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishnt Stage, which rightfully should not have appeared in the collection of damned Zong.
"Strange, what use could a Foundation Establishnt Stage puppet have? Aside from looking pretty..."
Saying this, Su Xing's expression turned odd, recalling sothing he had read in damned Zong's diary.
"This female puppet… couldn't be the Flower Fairy that cuckolded old Zong, could it?"
With that thought, a chill ran down Su Xing's spine.
He hadn't expected that damned Zong would have such peculiar tastes; this puppet was likely not ant for battle, but... for sothing else.
With this in mind, Su Xing's gaze moved past the puppet and onto the other treasures.
More than ten huge jade chests, each half the height of a person, were piled in the corner.
Su Xing opened one of the chests and his face imdiately burst into ecstatic delight.
These chests were all filled with various precious spiritual dicines!
So were decades old, while others even had a lifespan of over a thousand years!
Upon careful count, there were no fewer than three thousand strains of these diverse kinds of spiritual dicines!
"Goodness... with this batch of spiritual dicines, I can try to concoct new elixirs!"
Su Xing was thrilled; many of these elixirs were not even in the storerooms of the Descending Sect.
Besides those, there were also bottles and pots placed in the jade chests, which seed to be elixirs of so sort.
But Su Xing didn't know what these elixirs were for and dared not try them recklessly.
When he had ti later, Su Xing might identify each of them with his alchemy expertise.
Su Xing continued his search within the storage magical artifact.
Soon, he found the bone sword used by damned Zong, a magic artifact of dium quality that was truly extraordinary.
But with just one glance, Su Xing felt the deep resentnt and karma entwined around the bone sword...
It was evident that many innocent lives had been sacrificed during the creation of this magic artifact.
Apart from that, there was a soul summoning banner and over a dozen more magic artifacts that Su Xing couldn't na.
Among them were the assassin magical tools used by damned Zong, such as the Five Thunder Balls, numbering in the hundreds.
These Five Thunder Balls were extrely valuable and could even injure cultivators at the Divinity Transformation Stage.
Each of the Five Thunder Balls was as precious as a superior magic artifact!
"Tut-tut... damned Zong's thousand-year collection really could rival a nation's wealth!"
Su Xing praised and then turned his attention to the last corner.
In that final corner, a small pile of spirit stones lay quietly.
When Su Xing's divine sense swept over them, he then frowned slightly.
"As a cultivator of the Divinity Transformation Stage, how co damned Zong only has a little over eight thousand spirit stones?"
Su Xing was perplexed; while over eight thousand spirit stones were much more than what he owned,
that amount, even for replenishing damned Zong's daily spiritual energy deficit, could only last a few years.
And since damned Zong had awakened from his long sleep, at least another century had passed.
Why would there be so few spirit stones?
Although it's an era where the laws of cultivation are fading and spiritual energy is scarce, a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator is basically a first-rate powerhouse in the Cultivation World.
Apart from top-tier Cultivation Sects like the Wan Mu Sect, the Sect Master or Supre Elders of average sects might also be cultivators at the Divinity Transformation Stage.
Such powerhouses, in an era abundant with spiritual energy, having two or three hundred thousand spirit stones would be normal.
Even in this era of decline, a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator should have accumulated wealth, saving up a considerable fortune.
Especially soone like damned Zong who enjoyed killing for treasure, he probably had even greater wealth than the average Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator at full maturity.
"Sothing's not right... there are too few spirit stones!"
"Given damned Zong's cautious character, after skulking around for thousands of years, it's impossible for him to have only this few spirit stones..."
"Could it be... damned Zong hid the spirit stones elsewhere?"
Su Xing was puzzled, then started searching, but he couldn't find any trace of the spirit stones.
Suddenly, Su Xing had a flash of insight and muttered to himself:
"Damned Zong loves writing diaries so much... could he have ntioned the hiding place inside his diaries?"
Su Xing flipped through damned Zong's diaries, starting from the most recent entries and working backward.
Sure enough, after looking through a few, Su Xing found that damned Zong had hidden most of the spirit stones in a mountain called Five Elents Mountain ten years ago.
"This Five Elents Mountain... where is it?"
Still wondering, Su Xing continued to look through damned Zong's diaries.
For the next few hours, Su Xing perused one diary after another.
Finally, Su Xing found records related to Five Elents Mountain, and even found a map interleaved in the pages of the diary.
"In the year 2817 of the Xianwu calendar, while fleeing, I chanced upon a treasure map and decided to explore it..."
"In the year 2818 of the Xianwu calendar, I found Five Elents Mountain, which was where the Sect Master of the Five Elents Sect chose to slumber hundreds of years ago, he consud the Yellow Springs Elixir, and his tomb might contain endless treasures..."
