Chapter 418

Chapter 418 Space Ring

“Five Elements, when the opportunity arises, I’ll find you some suitable demonic techniques to cultivate,”

Lu Qing said, stroking the winged snake’s head.

The winged snake was named Five Elements because of its uniqueness.

For so many years, the winged snake had guarded the Five Elements Lotus, living within the spiritual pool.

Nourished by the Five Elements’ energy, its body also possessed five elemental attributes, becoming immensely powerful. It possessed the foundations of a Five Elements spirit, and its potential was astonishing.

Unfortunately, according to Five Elements, it had been confined to the secret realm since birth, without any contact with other beings.

Therefore, it was completely ignorant and could only cultivate according to instinct.

This was also why, despite possessing the strength of a Jindan-level body, it lacked the ability to utilize it skillfully. It only knew how to charge recklessly, and was easily trapped by Lu Qing in the Lihuo Cauldron.

Given the right techniques, Lu Qing believed that Five Elements’ future achievements would rival Xiao Li’s.

“Hiss!”

Hearing Lu Qing’s words, the five-colored winged snake rubbed against his hand, simultaneously sending a thought.

“You want the seeds of the Five Elements Treasure Lotus?” Lu Qing was stunned at first, then smiled. “Not impossible. If you behave well in the future, I might consider it.”

Upon hearing this, the five-colored winged snake rubbed against Lu Qing’s hand even more vigorously, acting like a complete lackey.

Lu Qing smiled.

When he first met the winged snake, the information it conveyed suggested that it had been guarding there solely for the seeds of the Five Elements Treasure Lotus.

The seeds of the Five Elements Treasure Lotus seemed to be crucial to its transformation.

The winged snake had now become his enslaved spirit beast, and if it could transform and become even more powerful, it would be a great aid to him.

In that case, Lu Qing wouldn’t be stingy with the seeds.

After subduing the winged snake, Lu Qing let it go to play on its own and then turned his attention to the corpse of the white-robed young man.

Since they were already here, he might as well deal with this corpse as well.

Lu Qing released the corpse of the white-robed youth and first removed the belongings from his body. He then condensed a flame and burned the corpse directly.

The remains of a Jindan realm cultivator could actually be considered a treasure.

However, Lu Qing wasn’t into corpse refining and had no interest in fiddling with corpses, so he simply burned them.

The flame Lu Qing condensed was the spiritual fire of the Lihuo Cauldron, extremely powerful.

Even the corpse of a Jindan realm expert could not withstand it. It soon burned completely, leaving not even bones, but only a few balls of light.

These were the magical weapons that the white-robed youth had cultivated and stored within his body.

Anything that would be prized by a Jindan realm expert was naturally no ordinary magical weapon. Lu Qing examined them and determined that they were all of the highest caliber.

The most radiant and powerful was a fist-sized white bead, occasionally adorned with mysterious runes.

Lu Qing activated his supernatural power and gazed at the white bead.

Soon, several messages appeared.

[Wanfa Pearl: A supreme water-based treasure.]

[Refined primarily from the inner elixir of the Jindan spirit beast, the Deep Sea Cloud Whale.]

[Contains the secret patterns of Wanfa, powerfully amplifying the power of a cultivator’s magic, increasing the power of Jindan-level spells severalfold.]

[Contains the power of the water-based law, possessing potent healing properties.]

…

“Surprisingly, it’s a supremely precious treasure.”

After reading the message on the white bead, Lu Qing understood.

This pearl is a supreme water-based treasure, powerfully amplifying a cultivator’s mana.

The white-robed youth’s powerful palm strikes, both offensive and defensive, with exquisite control, likely owed to this magical artifact.

“It’s quite suitable for Master,” Lu Qing thought to himself.

While Master excels in the way of the sword, his insights lie in the principles of water and fire.

This Wanfa Pearl could certainly be of use to him.

Of course, Xiaoyan would also be a perfect match for this pearl.

Xiaoyan possessed the gift of icy skin and jade bones. Ice and water, originally from the same source, made the Myriad Laws Pearl an extremely suitable magical weapon for her.

However, Xiaoyan’s cultivation was still relatively shallow, and the Myriad Laws Pearl was a top-grade treasure with extraordinary power. Even if given to her, she wouldn’t be able to refine it yet.

After some thought, Lu Qing decided to keep the Myriad Laws Pearl for now and see who needed it most.

As for himself, he possessed two great spiritual weapons and a natal magical weapon that, while not yet a spiritual weapon, possessed far greater potential than ordinary spiritual weapons. The value of

a magical weapon lay in its quality, not quantity. While the Myriad Laws Pearl’s functions overlapped somewhat with the Five Elements Gourd, its power was far inferior. He simply didn’t need it.

He then examined the other light balls, all of which were valuable magical weapons, and collected them as well.

Even if he didn’t need them, he could still give them to someone he knew.

After storing the magical weapons, Lu Qing looked at the remaining items.

These were the items he had taken from the white-robed young man before cremating his body.

Ignoring the useless items, Lu Qing focused his attention on a jade ring engraved with mysterious patterns.

He sensed an unusual vibration from the jade ring. His supernatural

power activated, and soon, a message from the jade ring surfaced.

[Space Ring: Treasure-level Space Ring.]

[Contains internal space, can store items.]

[A defensive formation is engraved on the ring.]

[Ownerless items can recognize their owner.]

…

“Sure enough, it’s a storage magic weapon?”

Lu Qing’s eyes lit up with joy after reading the message that appeared on the jade ring.

He was puzzled that the white-robed youth, a Jindan realm expert, had only so few possessions.

If it was a space magic weapon, then everything made sense.

With a slight shift in his mind, Lu Qing channeled a strand of his spiritual power into the jade ring.

Due to the white-robed youth’s death, this storage magic weapon had become ownerless.

So, he easily left his soul imprint within the restriction, recognizing it as his master.

After successfully refining the ring, Lu Qing sensed it and a look of surprise crossed his face.

“As expected of a Jindan realm cultivator from the Great World, he’s truly wealthy.”

With a swish!

Lu Qing’s mind flickered, and he retrieved all the items from the space ring, suspending them within the Lihuo Cauldron’s spiritual artifact space.

“Is this ring a storage device for that Jindan realm cultivator?”

Seeing the vast pile of items Lu Qing had unearthed, Yan also realized what was happening.

Its attention was drawn to the pile itself.

It contained a wide variety of items: ores, spiritual herbs, elixir bottles… all emanating impressive auras, indicating their high quality.

A small, crystal-clear pile, resembling jade nuggets and emitting a rich spiritual aura, particularly caught Yan’s eye.

“Spirit stones! That Jindan realm cultivator actually amassed so many spirit stones?!”

…

Boom!

Just as Lu Qing and Yan were counting their gains in the spiritual weapon space,   a powerful wave suddenly erupted

from the summit of a famous mountain or river in Zhongzhou , shaking away the clouds within a radius of dozens of miles.   A cold voice echoed.   ”Junior brother, wait! I’ll go and avenge you.”   (End of this chapter)
