Chapter 399: Top-grade elixir! Guardian spirit beast!

Lu Qing activated his supernatural power and gazed at the five-colored lotus.

Before long, a rich purple supernatural light emerged from the lotus, and several messages floated out.

“Purple light!”

Lu Qing was startled at the sight and quickly glanced at the messages.

[Five Elements Treasure Lotus: A supreme elixir nurtured from the purest Five Elements spiritual fluid.]

[This elixir possesses the pure essence of the Five Elements. Thoroughly refining it has a high probability of transforming into a Five Elements Dao Body.]

[The elixir is ripe and ready for harvest.]

[This elixir, imbued with the pure essence of the Five Elements, must be stored in a container of chalcedony or higher quality to ensure its potency is not lost.]

[Top-grade elixir possesses immense potency and contains the principles of Dao. It must be consumed and refined at the Golden Core stage or above, lest one be subjected to the risk of exploding and dying.]

[Rare elixir is often guarded by exotic beasts, so caution is advised when harvesting.] …

“

Five Elements Treasure Lotus, a supreme elixir!”

Lu Qing was overjoyed after reading the several messages.

He had never expected this secret realm to contain such a top-grade elixir.

It’s important to note that elixir, like magical artifacts, is categorized by grades: low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and supreme.

Among these, supreme-grade elixir is undoubtedly the most precious, a sight that would make even a powerful Primordial Spirit tremble with excitement.

He had never imagined that such a supremely precious elixir could be found in this secret realm!

“This lotus possesses all five elements, imbued with the inherent laws of the Dao. It’s a supreme elixir!”

“Yan” reappeared beside Lu Qing, his face filled with astonishment.

As the spirit of the Lihuo Sect’s only guardian artifact, “Yan” was naturally knowledgeable.

Especially when it came to refining artifacts and elixirs, his keen eye was worthy of a master. After

all, in the ancient days of immortal cultivation, the Lihuo Sect had refined countless magical artifacts and elixirs using the Lihuo Cauldron.

Even though Yan had never seen a spiritual medicine like the Five Elements Treasure Lotus before, he could tell its grade at a glance.

“Young Master, hurry! This spiritual medicine must not be missed! Pick it!”

Yan was thrilled.

He had only seen a top-grade spiritual medicine once, even back in the Lihuo Sect.

It was on that occasion, after refining that top-grade spiritual medicine into a pill, that he comprehended a glimmer of the power of a higher law, breaking through to become a mid-grade spiritual weapon.

Lu Qing, however, did not act rashly, but instead observed his surroundings.

He had not forgotten the warning in the message.

All rare spiritual medicines are often guarded by exotic beasts.

This Five Elements Treasure Lotus was so precious; if it had a guardian, it must be quite powerful.

After observing it for a while, Lu Qing found nothing unusual and took out a stone.

With a flick of his finger, a powerful gust of wind whistled towards the Five Elements Treasure Lotus.

“Young Master, you…”

Yan was startled and about to say something when suddenly, a streak of light shot out from the pool and swooped down at the stone Lu Qing had flung.

Crack!

The stone shattered instantly upon impact.

The light also landed on the shore, revealing its true form.

It was a winged snake, as thick as an arm, with wings growing from its back and a pair of small, pointed horns on its head. It stared hostilely at Lu Qing and the others.

“Guardian Spirit Beast?!”

Yan was startled again. It hadn’t sensed such a winged snake lurking beneath the water.

Lu Qing immediately activated his supernatural powers and gazed at the winged snake.

Soon, several messages appeared in his field of vision.

[Five Elements Winged Snake: A special spirit beast born from this secret realm.]

[Cultivation: Perfected in the Foundation Establishment Stage, only one step away from transforming into a dragon.]

[Nourished by the power of the five elements, its body is formidable, comparable to that of the initial stage of the Golden Core Stage. ]

This spirit beast has been around for a thousand years, guarding the Five Elements Lotus as it grows, waiting for the lotus seeds to bear, swallowing them, and transforming into a dragon    .

“

A spiritual beast at the Perfection stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, its physique comparable to that of a Golden Core Realm cultivator!”

Upon reading the winged snake’s message, Lu Qing didn’t hesitate a moment and immediately summoned the Qiankun Yiqi Bag.

Originally the size of a purse, the Qiankun Yiqi Bag instantly expanded to half the size of a human.

A streak of yellow light shot out, hurtling towards the winged snake.

The spiritual weapon’s power was terrifying. The winged snake’s keen senses shuddered at the sight of the yellow light, its eyes flashing with fear as it attempted to flee towards the pool behind it.

However, the spiritual weapon’s attack was so swift that it was far from easy to dodge.

Furthermore, Lu Qing’s attack was a near-sneak attack, making it even harder to defend against.

Before the winged snake could even move, the yellow light had already struck it.

Its attempt to escape was instantly frozen, unable to move.

“Senior Yan, hurry!”

As Lu Qing immobilized the winged snake, Yan immediately understood.

He controlled the Lihuo Cauldron to fly out from Lu Qing’s neck, transforming into the size of a water tank and enveloping the winged snake.

The winged snake’s vertical pupils gleamed with fear upon seeing this.

However, its mind frozen in the yellow light, it could do nothing but watch helplessly as the Lihuo Cauldron enveloped it and plunged it into darkness.

Seeing Yan contain the winged snake within the Lihuo Cauldron, Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and put away the Qiankun Yiqi Bag.

A flicker of hope flashed through his mind.

Fortunately, his recent breakthrough in cultivation had further enhanced his control over the Qiankun Yiqi Bag.

Otherwise, immobilizing the winged snake wouldn’t have been so easy.

After all, according to information revealed by his supernatural powers, its physical strength was comparable to that of a Jindan realm cultivator. Had

it truly unleashed a storm, he wasn’t sure he could subdue it.

Fortunately, a spirit beast was still a spirit beast.

Even with its high spiritual power, living in this isolated and secret realm, its mind remained pure.

He easily caught it by surprise and temporarily subdued it.

“Wow, what kind of spirit beast is this? Its physical strength is so formidable!”

At this moment, Yan’s exclamation reached Lu Qing’s ears.

“Senior Yan, what’s wrong?” Lu Qing asked.

“This winged snake we just took in has an incredibly formidable body. It’s only at the Foundation Establishment stage, yet the physical strength it unleashes rivals that of a spirit beast at the Golden Core stage.”

Yan’s tone was filled with wonder.

This was the first time it had encountered such a unique spirit beast.

“Then, Senior Yan, are you confident you can subdue it?”

“Don’t worry, this little creature only has a formidable body, but it’s not a true Golden Core stage. Once it enters my dimension, it has absolutely no chance of escaping,”

Yan said confidently.

If it were a true Golden Core stage, it wouldn’t have dared to make such a promise.

After all, the Lihuo Cauldron hadn’t yet recovered to its peak state and couldn’t yet unleash its full might.

The Jindan realm comprehends the secrets of mana, and whether it’s physical strength, spiritual awareness, or the power of spells, they will undergo a qualitative transformation.

In its current state, it’s not certain it can be suppressed.

But this winged snake only has the brute force of the Jindan realm, and its realm is still the Foundation Establishment realm, unable to penetrate the secrets of the spiritual weapon space.

For it, suppressing it is quite easy.

“It’s good that you can suppress it.”

Lu Qing nodded, and then turned his attention to the pool.

However, this time, in addition to the five-colored treasure lotus, he paid more attention to the distinctly colored liquid in the pool.
