Chapter 91 The Origin of the Mist, Entering the "Treasure Vault"
At your request, Ling Shu has already assisted you in deducing the mystery of the Fallen Dragon Valley.
【Dragon Miasma: This is formed from the decaying corpse of a fallen dragon, where the stagnant, foul air of the remains mixes with the yin energy of the local earth veins.】
[Its form is like mist, odorless, and no different from ordinary clouds and mist. It can block divine sense. It is harmless to mortals, but when cultivators smell it, the miasma seeps into their meridians and spiritual palaces, causing confusion, stirring up their seven emotions and six desires, and making them crazy and reckless in their killing.]
In the Valley of Fallen Dragons, there is red moss. Burn it to ashes and place it between your mouth and nose to filter out dragon miasma.
"I see!"
Five or six days have passed since he returned to the cave after being seriously injured that day.
On the soft couch, Li Ya breathed deeply and steadily, his injuries completely healed.
After this fierce battle, although his cultivation level did not improve, his overall demeanor underwent a significant change.
Like a sharp sword tempered by fire and water, its edge is beginning to show.
It has gained a more ruthless air and lost some of its naivety.
"Physical cultivation still needs to be grounded in reality, and only through combat and tempering can progress be made quickly."
Now, the Qi and blood are surging, shining like a great sun of Qi and blood. The total amount of Qi and blood has not increased, but it has been solidified in every punch and fight.
Li Ya activated his Qi and blood, merging them into his true Qi, condensing a drop of his natal true essence.
Then it was divided into five parts and entered the five internal organs.
The five internal organs will become a unified whole, and spiritual light will emerge. It will take quite some time before the spiritual light of the internal organs can be generated.
After the spiritual light of the internal organs is born, it is used to refine spiritual materials, extract and absorb the essence of the five elements, and finally make the five internal organs as solid as gold and jade, indestructible and imperishable.
Li Ya slowly got up, gently stretching his muscles and bones. His spine turned like a dragon, causing his muscles and bones to make a series of subtle popping sounds.
The flow of Qi and blood within the body is like a dragon, and the circulation of the Five Elements Qi is like a surging river. One feels refreshed and stronger than ever before.
"Please have Ling Shu investigate the area around the valley to see if any cultivators, strange beasts, or talismans are spying on us."
Having learned his lesson from last time, Li Ya now makes sure Ling Shu investigates before he enters or leaves the cave, only then can he feel at ease.
Only after Ling Shu informed him that there was nothing wrong did he put on the mask containing red moss ash.
"Lingpei, your craftsmanship is really good!"
He then put on the bronze mask he had gotten for free from Dugu City before returning to the valley.
As soon as he appeared, his brows furrowed, and a strong smell of blood filled the air.
"It seems the cultivators in Fallen Dragon Valley are in a precarious situation!"
"But Senior Brother Lingji and Senior Sister Qin, where have you two ended up? Please don't let anything happen to you!"
Li Ya returned the way he came, his spiritual pivot constantly operating, monitoring everything around him, down to the smallest detail.
However, they did not encounter a single cultivator along the way.
The camp that Tai Xuan Dao had built with so much manpower and resources has now been completely reduced to ruins.
In just six short days, the once bustling scene was gone, and on the ruins, unknown vines began to grow.
The camp was littered with the corpses of cultivators, all with their eyes wide open and mouths agape as if screaming, suggesting they had all experienced something extremely terrifying before they died.
"Their deaths all looked the same, how strange!"
The Tai Xuan Palace in the camp has disappeared, presumably having been abandoned.
"It seems they left in a hurry; they didn't even collect the remains of these cultivators, nor did they take the Sumeru magic artifacts."
After confirming that it was safe, Li Ya began to search the ruins in an orderly manner.
"Fellow Daoist, you won't need this Sumeru artifact anymore, so why not consider it an investment in me?"
"Thank you, fellow Daoist!"
Every time Li Ya passed by the remains of a cultivator, he would ask himself a question. If there was no response, he would take it as an admission.
Then, he precisely removed all the various Sumeru magical artifacts and stored them all in his own grotto-heaven.
As for the magical treasures and spiritual materials scattered on the ground, none of them were overlooked, and none were left out.
Li Ya moved among the dilapidated tents, cleaning them one by one, putting everything he could see into the cave. Ling Pei, on the other hand, sorted and organized the ancient wooden spirit child.
All the sects and families, big and small, benefited from this trip, which essentially served as a boon for Li Ya.
As the area expanded, large camps erected by various major forces appeared ahead.
A glint of light flashed in Li Ya's eyes. These camps of major sects and families were the real opportunities.
Li Ya stepped into each tent, his gaze sweeping over the wooden and iron boxes sealed with talismans, a surge of undisguised joy rising in his heart.
Such an opportunity would be enough to support a small sect, let alone for him to use alone.
Throughout the day, Li Ya kept moving, traversing the entire Tai Xuan Dao camp, leaving no corner untouched. Even a single spiritual material was collected into his Ling Shu Cave Heaven.
When the last tent was cleared out, Li Ya couldn't help but laugh out loud.
What warmed his heart the most was the large quantity of Five Elements spiritual materials.
Within the Tai Xuan Dao camp, most cultivators practice the Five Elements Method, and the various spiritual materials and books they acquire are all related to it.
One of the five elements spiritual materials can be buried in various places in the cave to enhance its spiritual charm.
Secondly, nurturing the spiritual light of the internal organs and polishing the golden and jade-like internal organs is the most resource-intensive process. It's not that we didn't prepare enough beforehand, but rather that the more resources we have, the better.
Ordinary cultivators at this stage mostly focus on their internal organs. Once they develop a bit of the quality of gold and jade, they no longer expend energy refining them, but only strive to strengthen the internal organs of their physical body.
According to the Ling Shu, if one refines the internal organs to the extreme, transforming them from the inside out into the quality of gold and jade, one can open up the extremely rare innate inner palace and generate the supernatural power of the furnace.
When a cultivator reaches the sixth level of Qi Refining, they can absorb and refine spiritual energy. The higher the quality of the spiritual energy, the more extraordinary the true energy becomes.
Take cultivators who practice fire magic as an example. When they refine ordinary fire elemental energy at the sixth level, the resulting power is definitely not comparable to special elemental energy such as the fire energy or crimson flame energy of the ninth level.
The ordinary inner palace's ability to cultivate spiritual energy is far inferior to that of the innate inner palace.
The innate inner palace Dao texts are generated spontaneously, transforming into a furnace of heaven and earth. Qi and blood true qi are carbonized, which absorbs and refines the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It can grind and calculate multiple spiritual energies at the same time to meet the needs of the "Five Pivots and Five Palaces Orthodox Chapter".
Even after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, when the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit are united and magical power is condensed, with the existence of this innate inner palace, one can generate ten magical powers in the time it takes others to generate one, which is terrifying.
After thoroughly looting the camp, Li Ya couldn't wait to enter the Ling Shu Cave Heaven. It's no wonder he was so impatient; the income from this trip was truly enormous.
Beneath the Dragon Blood Tree, a dazzling spiritual light shone, and a misty spiritual aura wafted towards them.
However, Li Ya did not look at the spiritual materials, but turned around and walked to the pile of Sumeru magical artifacts.
As Ling Shu underwent its transformation within the cave heaven, it also enhanced the Fangcun Snail. Li Ya simply raised his hand, and a gray vortex appeared out of thin air.
He threw a Sumeru bag directly into the gray vortex, and within a few breaths, a pile of objects fell like rain.
"Kids, time to get to work!" Li Ya shouted.
"Separate the pills, magical artifacts, spiritual herbs, and ores into their respective categories. If you find any jade slips or books with written records, place them next to me."
Li Ya picked up a brand-new-looking book from the ground; the cover read "Qingyan Jushi's True Record of Qi Cultivation".
Upon opening it, one finds a record of a Qi Refining cultivator who calls himself Qingyan Jushi, documenting his insights and ideas for Qi Refining cultivation.
The idea that "a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger" is undeniably imaginative and far-fetched.
Aside from those magical manuals and cultivation techniques, these kinds of cultivation notes are what Li Ya wants most.
Li Ya, who possesses valuable knowledge from another world, knows that some great achievements sometimes originate from a ridiculous idea.
These ideas may be impractical, but they are limited by insufficient personal strength. However, with one's own spiritual foundation, they may not be impossible to realize.
In addition, absorbing their cultivation insights is also of great use to one's own cultivation.
Li Ya casually tossed "The True Record of Qingyan Hermit's Qi Cultivation" into the air, and countless bird and insect characters appeared, forming a vortex that instantly copied all of its contents.
