Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Rember the Lesson
Indeed, being an ox or a horse has no future.
When Li Jizhou dug by himself before, his hands were sore from exhaustion and he gained nothing,
but after affixing the Concealnt Talisman and wandering for a short while, his storage bag was filled with a full five portions of lted Spirit Sand.
In the deeper parts of the mine, many places with Thunder Spirit Crystals had Molten Rock Sand unearthed and abandoned.
According to the Body Refining Skill records, five portions of lted Spirit Sand should be enough for Body Refining Third Layer!
He decisively retreated.
During his retreat, he unexpectedly encountered the person who previously claid to be Master Lu’s nominal disciple and wanted to associate with his brother in the strange secret realm.
However, it was clear that the person’s mories in the strange secret realm were completely erased, and upon seeing Li Jizhou from afar, he coldly reprimanded him.
Moreover, just as he was about to leave the mine, one of the last thirteen people in the strange secret realm ambushed Li Jizhou, only to be turned to ashes by a Middle Level Fiery Poison Talisman from Li Jizhou.
He exited the mine unscathed, without any hesitation, boarded the flying ship, and decisively returned to the outer city of Inverted Mountain.
Not until he returned to his residence, activated the protective array, and cast another Middle Level Restriction Talisman did he sit cross-legged and close his eyes to review everything that happened today.
An hour later, Li Jizhou slowly opened his eyes.
"With the Reincarnation Treasure Mirror reversing the course of events, I am already incredibly lucky. As long as I live one more day, next life will have endless opportunities. There’s no need to contend for opportunities with others or gamble my life for the future,
moreover, in this life, by studying the complete Evergreen Skill, my longevity is prolonged. Supported by talisman and Alchemy Dao, as well as my past late stage of Foundation Establishnt to Core Formation experience, steady growth can ensure at least Core Formation, barring accidents, my lifespan could reach eight hundred years.
The journey to the Thunder Spirit Crystal mine today was reckless after all!
This life, I absolutely cannot engage in such risk-laden activities with no decisive significance again!"
Reviewing the entire process, Li Jizhou still felt a bit terrified.
Although lted Spirit Sand helps refine unparalleled body techniques, greatly enhancing survival chances, this should be under controllable risk.
I ticulously consulted reports and assessed situations, thinking this trip to the Thunder Spirit Crystal mine would be risk-free,
but... never expected to encounter the legendary eerie secret realm!
Unexpected,
yet reasonable!
All secret realms, ancient tombs, relics... have uncontrollable factors.
This ti, it was a lesson.
For the rest of my life, I absolutely cannot have any thought of luck again!
Reciting the Stability Scripture silently, his mind gradually stabilized.
"Additionally, from what I observed in the eerie secret realm, the events of the Thunder Fla Sect eight hundred years ago... probably aren’t as straightforward as widely circulated!"
History is written by the victors, which Li Jizhou had long expected, but didn’t realize the disparity was so vast.
However, it doesn’t relate much to him.
In the river of ti, the truth has lost its significance long ago.
After calming his mind, Li Jizhou opened the storage bag.
The five portions of lted Spirit Sand could forge a body shield akin to the cohesion of Core Formation magical power.
Half a bottle of Celestial Pure Water could significantly increase the chance of Core Formation, with an eighty percent chance to enhance Core Formation quality, reaching up to Immortal Golden Core!
This was the harvest.
If excluding the uncontrollable factors of the eerie secret realm this ti, the harvest was imnse!
Sufficient to make countless elders lose composure.
After properly storing the harvest, he rembered the Spirit Pet Bag containing Guagua.
With a pat on the Spirit Pet Bag, Guagua leapt out.
Although the back, erald like jade, was riddled with scars, alarming to the eyes, it was unusually excited at this mont.
As soon as it ca out, it crazily rubbed against Li Jizhou’s leg.
Li Jizhou smiled and reached out to stroke its back, as the Eternal Spring Magical Power flowed in, the wounds on Guagua’s back visibly scabbed over quickly.
At this mont, Guagua finally cald down from its excitent.
It suddenly realized, rolled its tongue deep into its mouth,
and spat out a Hundred Treasures Bag adorned with gold threads.
Placed it flatteringly at Li Jizhou’s feet.
"Is this... given to you by the woman in red?" Even Li Jizhou was a bit surprised.
"Guagua~" Guagua nodded repeatedly.
"Hehe~" Li Jizhou chuckled and shook his head, recalling the last scene upon leaving the eerie secret realm.
The woman in red had her back turned to him, whispering into Guagua’s ear.
She sneakily stuffed sothing to Guagua, fearing his covet.
"A good thing indeed!"
After closely examining the Hundred Treasures Bag, he found it was an extraordinary magical artifact with an effect of shielding Divine Sense, no wonder he hadn’t noticed until now.
It seed specially made for spirit beasts.
Opening the Hundred Treasures Bag, it was filled with bottles and jars.
Mostly feed for spirit beasts, and all of high quality.
What surprised Li Jizhou was there was a small bottle inside, roughly equivalent to one-tenth of his half bottle of Celestial Pure Water.
Also, there was a Jade Talisman.
Upon probing with Spiritual Sense, it turned out to be an advancent thod for Tier Three spirit beasts.
"Truly treated like a son!"
With a sigh, Li Jizhou put away the Celestial Pure Water and the Jade Talisman: "The rest is yours to keep, I’ll hold onto these two for you."
Guagua followed orders with no resistance.
"Alright, heal yourself, then continue to monitor the movents of the Celestial Secret Pavilion."
"Guagua~" Guagua rubbed against Li Jizhou’s leg again, then cheerfully burrowed away.
In the next mont, Guagua popped up from the small courtyard pond, playfully swimming in the pond.
"Such a carefree spirit!" Li Jizhou chuckled and shook his head.
Guagua played for a mont, suddenly rembering sothing, and disappeared into the water again.
Before long, it returned.
And this ti, it was carrying a Token in its mouth.
"Another ssage from Big Bull?"
For three and a half years, no ssage had co, Li Jizhou thought the friendship between the two had faded due to his deliberate avoidance.
Unexpectedly, he was wrong.
After reading the letter, Li Jizhou realized that the reason there had been no communication for three and a half years was because three and a half years ago, the Qian family, another cultivation family neighboring the Yang family by the Qingshui River, which also had a Foundation Establishnt Stage ancestor, had a conflict with the Yang family over Qingshui River’s upstream and downstream resources.
The two families, on constant alert, would sporadically erupt into battles of magic on the banks of the Qingshui River.
Three years ago, Wu Daniu reached perfection at Qi Cultivation Second Level and beca a Qi Cultivation Third Level cultivator, as well as marrying into the family as an outsider, so he was naturally sent to the frontline first.
Fortunately, his fertility was good, having four children for the Yang family, and he was well cared for at the frontlines. Coupled with the alertness he learned from following Li Jizhou since youth, he survived the three-year family conflict without danger.
A month ago, with the Divine Intent Sect diating, the dispute between the two clans was pacified, finally ending the chaos.
"Joining a cultivation family is like this!
No matter what, in the end, you’re an outsider; cannon fodder is always these people.
And all forces invariably involve interest conflicts,
even the foremost power in any region will inevitably have power struggles.
Once you join a force, you cannot avoid fighting others in magical duels.
To naively hope to benefit from a force’s resources and evade calamities by fleeing at the last minute is truly a bit naive.
The role of the supervisory team is to hold guns to these people’s heads."
"So, if you truly want to be untainted, you can’t think of free-riding on others; everything has a cost!"
