Chapter 145: Intermediate Spiritual Weapon, Lihuo Ding

. When Lu Qing activated his supernatural powers and intently gazed at the cauldron

, more than ten breaths passed without a movement.

Instead of disappointment, he was even more surprised.

Since cultivating the power of his soul, Lu Qing’s supernatural powers had been enhanced to a certain extent.

The time required to retrieve information about items had been significantly shortened.

Generally, items below red light level could be retrieved in one or two breaths.

Even red light items took only three or four at most. The fact

that this cauldron required so much time must have been far more precious than expected.

Lu Qing didn’t look away, still staring at the cauldron.

Wei Shanhai didn’t see anything wrong with it. After all, anyone who heard what he had just said would be extremely curious about the cauldron.

After several more breaths, the cauldron in Lu Qing’s vision finally changed.

A rich purple supernatural light emerged from the cauldron.

Several notes floated out.

“Purple light?!”

Lu Qing’s heart was shaken.

You know, back in the Jade Transformation Cave, the inheritance of the Divine Talisman Sect was only purple.

He quickly glanced at the note.

[Lihuo Ding: A damaged, mid-grade fire-type spiritual artifact, forged from a variety of rare and precious spiritual materials by a powerful individual.]

[A spiritual artifact is one that contains a trace of the laws of heaven and earth, nourished by spirituality, and capable of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to evolve and grow.]

[Every spiritual artifact is a gift from heaven and earth, born through chance and coincidence. It possesses incredible powers and uses, and cannot be forced.]

[Rumor has it that every spiritual artifact is only of low quality when it is first created. It must be nourished with spiritual energy and absorb the laws of heaven and earth before it can be upgraded.]

[This cauldron appears to have suffered some kind of misfortune, significantly reducing its spirituality. It is now slowly recovering.]

[Inheritance discovered. Do you want to download and simulate it?]

A series of messages, each packed with information, filled Lu Qing with delight and surprise.

It turned out this cauldron was a spiritual artifact. Even the Divine Talisman Sect’s traditions only mentioned such a treasure briefly, leaving no detailed refining method. He

hadn’t expected to see it here.

Knowing the cauldron was a spiritual artifact, Lu Qing finally understood why it had grown so rapidly.

Spiritual artifacts are creations of nature, born through chance and coincidence. They possess inherent spirituality, and being able to grow to any size is merely one of their fundamental abilities.

This cauldron had previously been damaged for unknown reasons, shrinking to the size of a thumb. This damage must have been so severe, perhaps even so severe that it could no longer absorb and refine spiritual energy from the outside world, forcing it to withdraw its full power and lie dormant. It was

only when it came into contact with the pure fire energy condensed from the depths of the earth by the rune array within this cavern that it gradually regained its strength.

Of course, these were merely Lu Qing’s conjectures.

The true cause remained to be determined.

Lu Qing looked at the last note floating out of the cauldron, expressionless, not immediately making a choice.

“I never thought such a miraculous artifact existed in the world. It’s true that the world is full of wonders,”

the old doctor exclaimed, looking at the cauldron

. “Doctor Chen, there’s a strange aura within this cauldron. I’ll unleash it later, and we can all contemplate it together. As for how much we can comprehend, it depends on our individual understanding and circumstances,” Wei Shanhai said.

“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Mr. Wei.”

Having learned of the cauldron’s wonders, the old doctor also piqued his interest, eager to witness the profound implications within.

“Please prepare yourselves,”

Wei Shanhai reminded them. Lu Qing, the old doctor, and the others gathered around the stone platform, sitting cross-legged.

Even Wei Xinghe was no exception.

The aura within the cauldron couldn’t be activated at any time.

Typically, even after ten years of accumulation, it could only be activated once at most.

Even as the head of the family, he had only comprehended it once. This time, thanks to Lu Qing and the others, he was able to follow along and comprehend.

Once everyone was ready and their minds were in the best possible state, Wei Shanhai released a stream of innate true qi, gently striking the cauldron.

The cauldron trembled slightly, and then a strange aura of meaning emanated, enveloping everyone within.

This aura was so mysterious and extraordinary that the old doctor and the others felt a thrill in their hearts, their minds and consciousnesses immersed in the warm sunlight. Amidst the comfort, various insights into cultivation began to surface.

Lu Qing was even more surprised.

This state was all too familiar to him.

It was similar to the state he experienced when he awakened his supernatural powers, a feeling akin to sudden enlightenment.

The difference was that this aura, in addition to aiding understanding, also had an aura that nurtured his spirit and soul, giving him subtle signs of strengthening his spiritual power.

Sensing this change, Lu Qing was instantly delighted.

The so-called state of enlightenment wasn’t of much use to him.

With his supernatural powers, he could enter this state at any time.

He had long since comprehended his cultivation techniques to their limits.

His strength was now limited by his own cultivation, not his understanding of the techniques.

But this aura, which could strengthen his spiritual power, was a rare commodity for him.

Of all the things he cultivated, soul power was the most difficult to improve.

Soul power, like other things, could be increased through the use of elixirs.

Aside from the Earth Spirit Fluid, Lu Qing had yet to encounter any elixir or elixir that could directly enhance soul power.

Soul power, crucially important for future cultivation of both the Xiantian Martial Arts and the Way of Runes, was crucial.

The opportunity to enhance soul power now filled him with joy.

Lu Qing dared not delay and immediately mobilized his soul power, absorbing the aura of profound meaning. As soon as

the aura entered the acupoint between his eyebrows, it instantly merged with Lu Qing’s soul power, gradually strengthening it. Concealed

by the soul rune, the fluctuations of Lu Qing’s soul power remained hidden.

Furthermore, everyone was focused on practicing with their eyes closed, striving to comprehend their own martial arts, leaving them no time for other attention.

Therefore, even Wei Shanhai, standing nearby, failed to notice that Lu Qing, despite being at the Muscle and Bone Realm, possessed soul power.

And so, in the silence, Lu Qing’s spiritual power silently grew.

He waited until the aura of divine power could no longer increase his spiritual power, and then he ceased cultivation.

Lu Qing knew that the divine power of the cauldron had reached its limit.

But he was already very satisfied.

In just a short while, his spiritual power had more than tripled.

When he returned, he would be able to condense at least two more spiritual runes .

The day of truly condensing his natal talisman was getting closer.

Opening his eyes, he saw that his master and the others were still contemplating their cultivation. Lu Qing activated his supernatural power, looked at the last note in his field of vision, and made a selection.

[Downloading, current progress, 1%, 2%, 3%…]

Maintaining his gaze, Lu Qing waited quietly.

[…98%, 99%, 100%]

[Download complete, do you want to start simulation?]

Lu Qing immediately selected simulation.

[Starting simulation, current progress: 1%, 2%, 3%… 98%, 99%, 100%]

[Simulation completed, do you want to start studying?]

Lu Qing chose to study.

Immediately, a flood of information and insights began to surge from the depths of his mind.

Lu Qing closed his eyes, quietly absorbing and digesting the information.

After a long while, when he opened his eyes again, a flash of enlightenment appeared in his eyes.

“I see.”
