Chapter 400: Digging it all out, big harvest

As Lu Qing gazed, a faint purple supernatural light appeared within his field of vision.

[Five Elements Spiritual Fluid: A precious fluid condensed from the essence of the Five Elements’ spiritual energy.]

[This precious fluid is the foundation for nurturing the Five Elements Treasure Lotus. Containing a vast amount of the Five Elements’ vital essence, it can bring the dead back to life, transform flesh and bones, and possesses incredible medicinal power.]

[Cultivators who absorb this fluid can increase their cultivation, transform their bodies, and establish the foundation for a Five Elements Dao Body.]

…

[Five Elements Primordial Stone: Primordial stone transformed by prolonged nourishment of the Five Elements’ spiritual energy and the energy of the earth’s veins.]

[A precious refining material, rich in spiritual energy, and can also be used to replenish a cultivator’s spiritual power.]

…

[Five Elements Spiritual Soil: Spiritual soil rich in the power of the Five Elements…]

“Sure enough, not only the spiritual fluid within this pool, but also the stones that make up the pool and the surrounding soil are also treasures.”

Lu Qing’s face lit up with joy after surveying the surroundings with his supernatural power.

He knew that since this place could produce a supreme elixir like the Five Elements Treasure Lotus, the substance that nurtured it must also be of exceptional quality.

Especially since the Five Elements Spiritual Fluid was also a purple-glowing treasure!

Judging from its information, it was equally immensely useful to him, and could be used immediately.

After completing his investigation, Lu Qing didn’t hesitate. A jade box engraved with profound runes appeared in his hand. He

plucked the Five Elements Treasure Lotus, placed it in the jade box, and then stored it in his Qiankun Yiqi Bag.

The jade box was specially crafted according to the secret methods passed down by the Lihuo Sect.

As a former master of weapon and medicine refining, the Lihuo Sect naturally had its own secret methods for preserving elixir.

This jade box was one of them.

The unique secret patterns on it could perfectly seal the elixir, preserving its potency.

After putting the jade box away, Lu Qing felt a sense of relief.

With the greatest opportunity now within his grasp, this journey to the secret realm had been worthwhile.

However, Lu Qing didn’t intend to leave immediately. Instead, another ink-colored jade bottle appeared in his hand.

Previous reconnaissance revealed that besides the Five Elements Lotus, other treasures were equally valuable, and he wasn’t about to miss out.

With a swift movement of his mind, the inky jade bottle flew out, hovering above the pool. The bottle’s mouth turned upside down, aiming at the pool below.

A powerful suction force emerged, and the Five Elements Spiritual Fluid within the pool was continuously drawn into the bottle.

Before long, the jade bottle had completely absorbed the entire pool’s contents, returning to Lu Qing’s hands.

Lu Qing weighed the bottle, a look of satisfaction on his face.

This jade bottle, which he had snatched from a demonic cultivator in the Holy City, contained a spacious interior, allowing it to easily hold the considerable amount of Five Elements Spiritual Fluid within.

He then placed the bottle into his Qiankun Qi Bag and once again focused his gaze on the Five Elements Primordial Stone.

A few moments later, when Lu Qing stopped, the pool that had nurtured the Five Elements Lotus was completely shattered.

Not only were all the Five Elements Primordial Stones mined, but the surrounding spiritual soil was also dug up.

Looking at the devastation before him, Lu Qing sighed.

This spiritual pond, capable of nurturing the Five Elements Treasure Lotus, was truly a treasure trove.

If possible, he wouldn’t want to destroy it.

Unfortunately, time was running out. When the entrance to the secret realm stabilized, the turbulence that erupted was too great.

He was probably already rushing towards the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Everything else was fine, but he was wary of those two mysterious individuals, suspected to be from outer space.

So, despite the regret, he couldn’t care less.

After storing everything in his Qiankun Qi Bag, Lu Qing surveyed his surroundings, making sure nothing was missing. Then, he summoned his golden boat and flew towards the entrance.

This secret realm was quite large, and there might be other treasures within, but he no longer planned to explore.

One should not be too greedy. Since he had already seized the greatest opportunity, he should leave the smaller gains to others.

Otherwise, if he stayed too long, the two mysterious individuals would arrive, and the gains would be more than they deserved.

The golden boat transformed into a streak of golden light, soaring through the sky. Halfway through its flight, a thought struck him.

“Hmm? Someone’s already entered?”

Lu Qing looked down and saw several figures cautiously exploring the woods within the secret realm.

Judging from their auras, they were at least martial arts masters at the minor success stage of the Xiantian Realm.

They were also wary of each other, seemingly not entirely on the same side.

Lu Qing made no effort to conceal his presence, so when he looked down, the figures sensed a connection and looked upwards.

Then, they saw a mysterious figure, atop a golden flying boat and wearing a ghostly mask, gazing coldly from the sky.

Everyone’s scalp tingled, and an intense fear suddenly erupted within them.

Anyone capable of flight must possess a cultivation realm far superior to theirs. This masked figure must be a formidable powerhouse, above the Xiantian realm.

Suddenly, everyone in the forest froze in place, afraid to move, fearing any movement would displease the mysterious figure in the sky and bring about their own death.

Fortunately, the mysterious masked figure didn’t seem to be a violent person.

After a cold glance at them, he transformed into a streak of golden light and flew towards the entrance to the secret realm.

After a moment, once they were certain the masked figure had truly departed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Their tense minds finally relaxed, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

“Such a terrifying aura! Brother Qiu, do you know the origins of that person just now?”

One of the Xiantian Realm cultivators wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn’t help but ask a large man nearby.

“Brother Wang, you think too highly of me. How could I possibly know the identity and origins of such a powerful being?”

the man in question said with a wry smile.

“I do have some idea who that person was,”

a beautiful middle-aged woman suddenly said.

“Oh, Madam Zhao knows his origins?”

The others immediately turned to the beautiful middle-aged woman.

“If I’m not mistaken, this is the mysterious individual who recently went on a killing spree in Xizhou, forcing Xuankong Mountain, one of the four great secret areas, to retreat into its secret realm, afraid to emerge!”

“It’s him?!”

The others were all shocked.

…

Lu Qing didn’t attack those who entered the secret realm to explore, but flew straight towards the entrance.

Along the way, he spotted another wave of martial arts masters who had just entered the secret realm.

He ignored them again, quickly reaching the entrance and diving in.

However, when he just came out of the secret realm and returned to the valley,

he saw a sky full of sword lights and knife auras, along with various hidden weapons, attacking him, as if to cut him into pieces.
