Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1254 - 874: Inherited Spirit Shadow and Treasures
Previously on Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book...
Inside the secret realm, all ten individuals were extremely excited at this moment.
After all, this was the abode of a Golden Core True Master, and it’s known that nowadays even the Ye Family as well as the previous Jia and Zhang Families can dominate the Desert Sea due to possessing a Golden Core.
Obtaining the inheritance of a Golden Core True Master, not to mention cultivation techniques or treasures, even a single spirit medicine inside might benefit them immensely.
"Wan Daoist, as previously agreed, if there are no dangers, all treasures will be divided equally, with my Ma Family having priority in choosing the spirit medicines!" Ma Xiuyuan spoke up.
He felt an unease towards the Wan Family, especially Wan Chengjie, who posed a great threat.
"Naturally, but there is one point that Daoist hasn’t mentioned, which is that spiritual medicines or treasures to breakthrough to the Purple Mansion are exceptions." Wan Chengjie added.
"Then let’s act together!" Ma Xiuyuan spoke again.
At this moment, he still worried that the Wan Family might conceal treasures; they had various means with spirit insects.
It might be possible they have a sense for treasures as well.
Wan Chengjie did not refuse, and the group began searching from the foot of Spirit Mountain.
Because of the abundant spiritual energy within the secret realm, indeed, there were many spirit medicines. Even the neglected spirit medicine garden at the mountain base contained quite a bit of spirit medicine.
Plants like Cyan Essence Flower, White Yuan Fruit brought great joy to both foundation establishments of the families.
These are spirit medicines useful for Foundation Establishment cultivators, and now they are just at the mountain base; surely, there are ample treasures on the mountain.
"It’s a pity, many spirit medicines here should have withered." Ma Xiuyuan himself was a Spirit Plant Master and, upon glancing at the state of the spirit field, he knew this spirit field had been neglected for too long, causing many spirit medicines that required meticulous care to have died.
The remaining ones were of the kind that could also be found in the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
"Also divide the spiritual soil in this spirit field. If there are treasures later, they must be handed over to the Ye Family. This secret realm likely won’t have anything left for us." Seeing that Wan Chengjie was about to leave, Ma Xiuyuan suggested again.
Wan Chengjie hesitated for a moment before nodding.
The group ascended the mountain gate and saw several courtyards.
Wan Chengjie wanted to suggest individual search efforts but, at this moment, Ma Xiuyuan insisted on acting together. Fortunately, they also knew that apart from the Ye Family, no one dared to follow them, and if the Ye Family were behind them, there would be no use rushing.
So they resumed searching room by room.
After a round of searching, everyone’s expression soured a bit, as no treasure was found.
Eventually, they all stood in front of the Celestial Sand Ancestral Hall.
"There’s an array here!" Feeling the presence of an array ahead, everyone’s face finally brightened with delight.
After all, with an array, there could potentially be treasures inside.
Without an array, with so many years gone by, even if there were treasures, they’d likely have lost their spiritual nature.
Wan Chengming and Ma Yucheng each stepped forward, both being Array Masters within their respective clans.
However, after tinkering with the Spirit Disc for some time, both sighed deeply, as this array was evidently beyond their capability to break.
"Then let’s break the array by force; after all, this array is too ancient, and it isn’t a defense type array, shouldn’t be too difficult!" Wan Chengjie suggested.
Ma Xiuyuan nodded in agreement, and eight people out of the ten wielded their magic swords from eight directions.
They struck down together, but the array was extremely sturdy, not leaving a single crack.
"This array has changed; the array foundation lies at these positions!" Clearly, time had worn down the array foundation’s materials, even the array pattern was almost faded.
After two hours of breaking the array, the array was finally undone.
The group finally saw everything inside.
Inside the hall, an Eight Immortals Table held an offering plate and an Incense Burner, along with three Jade Boxes and three Zafus.
Ma Xiuyuan immediately flew in, intending to grab the treasures.
"Ma Daoist, hold on!" Wan Chengjie quickly stopped him.
"Many ancient sects have Smoke Technique inheritances, and it’s taboo to move rashly!" Wan Chengjie repeatedly warned.
Hearing this, Ma Xiuyuan paused but nonetheless refrained from further action, genuinely paying heed to Wan Chengjie’s advice.
Treasures are to be shared equally, so he wasn’t worried.
"The three Zafus suggest two can enter; only you and I should go in!" Wan Chengjie stated.
He then settled onto the middle Zafu and gestured for Ma Xiuyuan to sit on the right Zafu.
He took out sandalwood, lit it, and placed it into the Incense Burner.
As the sandalwood burned, sure enough, a lively image appeared, eventually revealing the silhouette of a cultivator.
The cultivator donned a Celestial Sand Robe, emanating an immortal demeanor, full of presence.
"You’ve finally arrived. How is the Celestial Sand Sect now, have new Golden Core and Nascent Souls appeared?"
"According to our contingency plan, you should have already discovered the Earth Immortal Platform within the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land."
"How many now remain in the sect?"
"The journey to the Heaven-Mending Dao in the Earth Immortal Realm, after all, is hindered by the Celestial Sand Sect’s modest fortune, unable to enter the Immortal Sect!"
Wan Chengjie and Ma Xiuyuan dared not raise their heads, both believing that remnants of the Divine Soul of a great power from the Celestial Sand Sect were present.
But soon enough, they realized the other party hadn’t noticed they were not from the Celestial Sand Sect.
Nor did the soul inquire about anything else, rather speaking as if in monologue.
"Senior!" Wan Chengjie tentatively spoke.
Yet there was no response, the soul shadow continued:
"However, if the sect presently has two Nascent Souls and over ten Golden Cores, we can still attempt again, though only entering the Earth Immortal Realm and Heaven-Repairing Garden can offer the chance to prove the Dao and transform into divinity..."
What was spoken remained unfamiliar to both.
Earth Immortal and Heaven-Repairing Garden, they had no understanding.
Originally, they harbored hopes it might be an incredible opportunity.
Upon hearing the prerequisite of at least two Nascent Souls and ten Golden Cores, they instantly abandoned such thoughts.
Neither knew if within their lifetime, they could break through to Purple Mansion, and now being asked for Golden Core and Nascent Soul, this opportunity clearly had nothing to do with them.
Yet they remained extremely delighted, though this information was useless to them, handing it to the Ye Family could at least exchange for two Purple Mansion Jade Liquids!
"However, remember this well, without Nascent Soul power, do not enter the Earth Immortal Platform in the Illusory Sand Forbidden Land, as it links to the Sand Mansion of the Earth Immortal Realm!"
The spirit shadow issued one last warning.
Saying this, the spirit shadow finally dissipated, transforming into lines of spiritual characters.
Wan Chengjie and Ma Xiuyuan didn’t dare blink.
"This is indeed an Earth Rank Lower Grade Cultivation Technique capable of cultivating to the middle stage of Divinity Transformation, Celestial Essence Eternal Sand Spirit Manual!" Wan Chengjie and Ma Xiuyuan felt somewhat weary.
"Wan Daoist, I owe this to you!" Ma Xiuyuan couldn’t help but say.
Without Wan Chengjie’s reminder, he would’ve likely missed this Smoke Technique inheritance.
And missed that astonishing message.
"These three Jade Boxes, let Daoist choose first!" Ma Xiuyuan said.
Wan Chengjie nodded and opened the three Jade Boxes.
Inside the first Jade Box was a magical treasure, but not a Tier Three Magical Treasure; it was a Tier Four Sand Concealment Bead.
Both exchanged glances with a peculiar expression, unsure whether to be pleased or troubled.
Since this Tier Four Magical Treasure, even if they break through to Purple Mansion, remains unusable.
Whereas Golden Core is too far away, the key issue being it is difficult to divide.
Both then looked at the second Jade Box.
Inside this Jade Box was a spirit fruit, and upon opening it, their expressions changed again.
This spirit fruit glowed golden, clearly a Gold Condensing Fruit.
And for both families, dividing the Gold Condensing Fruit presents a challenge.
After all, both families are Foundation Establishment Clans, lacking even Purple Mansion, making the Gold Condensing Fruit of little use.
If it were Gold Condensing Pill, it would be better; given the chance for Golden Core period.
In its pure form, Gold Condensing Fruit cannot enhance the probability of pill solidifying.
Moreover, neither family possesses the Gold Condensing Pill formula.
"Let’s look at the third Jade Box!" Wan Chengjie still suggested.
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiuyuan nodded.
Of course, nodding didn’t matter as they had previously sworn a Heavenly Dao Oath, that aside from Purple Mansion Jade Liquid and other Purple Mansion-enhancing treasures, the rest are shared equally.
Upon opening the third Jade Box, there was a jade talisman.
Seeing the jade talisman, both breathed a sigh of relief.
Unlike Tier Four spirit pills or magical treasures, this jade talisman could certainly be useful for their families.
"This is a Desert Forbidden Secret Technique!" Wan Chengjie concluded after examining it and handed it to Ma Xiuyuan.
"Then each copies a share of the secret technique!" Ma Xiuyuan suggested.
"Both the Gold Condensing Fruit and Tier Four magical treasure should be exchanged with the Ye Family for three portions of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid!"
"This way, our two families could at least produce three Purple Mansions!"
"Agreed!" Wan Chengjie concurred after hearing this.
Since possessing these two treasures temporarily doesn’t benefit anyone, it would be better to swap for six portions of Purple Mansion Jade Liquid.
As for the message, both now considered exchanging for a Tier Three Magical Treasure.
After all, upon reaching Purple Mansion, they must possess at least a Tier Three Magical Treasure to be deemed an Ascendant.
"This Zafu is also a treasure, along with this Pill Furnace, between our families, we should take two each!" Wan Chengjie announced.
Since the Smoke Technique inheritance had concluded, there’s no need to pay attention to the Incense Burner and Zafu.
"Then I’ll take the Zafu and Incense Burner!" Ma Xiuyuan also nodded.
