I Have A Special Cultivation Talent

Chapter 176: Elixirs in A Item Cauldron

After the earthquake, cracks could clearly be seen on the ocean floor.

Among the cracks was a huge opening where pure essence power was leaking out.

The attack from the drum had gotten rid of any sea beasts that lingered around that opening.

Not even a single normal animal could be seen.

“It really is the abandoned residence of Lord Ning,” Sage Yuan Lie exclaimed.

The other sages nodded in agreement with his excitement.

“There is a unique symbol on the entrance and a Restriction that doesn’t allow any cultivators that have yet to reach the Golden Core plane to enter,” Su Qinghuang explained, as that was only something that Golden Core Sages or someone stronger could sense.

“I see...” Chen Jingzhai nodded.

The truth was that he could also sense it since the divine stone had continuously refined his divine mind. His divine mind was now as strong as a Golden Core Sage after he had reached the Complete Foundation Plane.

The word Ning was written inside the cave, which was Lord Ning’s unique symbol.

It was more than just a word. The power of a Nascent Plane cultivator rested inside it and had remained there until now. Restrictions were also placed all over the abandoned cave residence.

Even if a Nascent Plane cultivator were able to unseal the Restrictions, they couldn’t say for sure that they could avoid activating the traps. So there was a high risk of them getting caught in one as well.

However, the abandoned residence was a perfect example of the attitude that most Nascent Plane cultivators had. They would set up all sorts of Restrictions when they left their heritage in order to prevent it from falling into the hands of another Nascent Plane cultivator. They would rather let their heritage be forgotten instead of that happening.

“Everyone, the other two lords and I will unseal the Restrictions together,” Lord Dong said with a smile on his face. “You guys will have to take that chance to enter the residence. Unlike other cave residences, inheritance cave residences will kick anyone out if they can’t inherit the heritage. So take your time and do your best in there.”

“Lord Dong is right.” Lord Yu nodded. “Other than the inheritance, the stone tablet is important as well. It wouldn’t be hard for you to find it, but the challenging part is processing it. Remember that two is always better than one.”

His words made a lot of Foundation Establishment Plane cultivators excited.

Naturally, the most valuable thing in Lord Ning’s residence was his inheritance.

It was something that would point the path toward spiritualization and also his unique method of item alchemy.

Whoever got their hands on it could even start a clan of their own.

However, processing a cave residence wasn’t something that could be done overnight.

Collecting the ingredients and processing them was highly time-consuming and exhausting.

Not only did the rogue cultivators wish for a cave residence of their own, but even disciples of the celestial clans desired one as well.

Even Jiang Lin, who was part of Wine Celestial Peak and known for having little to no desire, was excited.

The only person who wasn’t as excited was Chen Jingzhai, as he already had the Primordial Essence World, which was a few times better than having a cave residence.

However, he wouldn’t refuse the chance to process a cave residence if he was given one. So there was no reason for him to shy away from getting his hands on more good stuff.

“Let’s go.” Lord Nangong didn’t have much to say and began the process immediately.

The other two lords matched her timing perfectly.

The power of three Nascent Plane cultivators pierced through the water and hit the Restriction on the entrance, putting a hole in it.

“Go!”

The Foundation Establishment Plane cultivators of the three magic treasures charged toward the entrance simultaneously.

All of them used divine arts to try and be the first to enter the residence.

And if they had magic treasures, they would use them. Those who didn’t would use spells instead.

Almost half that was on the leaf was gone in an instant.

Even Jiang Lin and Chu Jingsong both charged forward as soon as the order was given.

“Wait for me,” Chen Jingzhai gently said as he let go of Su Qinghuang’s hand.

“I will.” Su Qinghuang nodded as she stared at the young man with gorgeous eyes.

Su Qinghuan wasn’t the only Sage that had her attention on Chen Jingzhai. The other Sages on the leaf were all looking at him as well.

However, Chen Jingzhai wasn’t fazed by that. Instead, with a grin, he disappeared and reappeared at the entrance.

Although he was the last to leave, he was the first to arrive.

“What a powerful water escape spell!” Sage Yuan Lie exclaimed.

“That’s the Dharma Intent!” A Sage from another magic treasure reacted.

The Sages were able to detect the Dharma Intent and were all surprised by how proficient Chen Jingzhai was.

Even the three Nascent Plane cultivators nodded as the young man had left a deep impression on them.

The seawater was freezing, but the interior of the residence was warm, like it was almost the end of spring.

What disappointed Chen Jingzhai was the fact that the essence power inside the residence wasn’t that pure.

At least it wasn’t comparable to the Primordial Essence World. It was only 20 percent denser than the essence power in Tidal Sound City.

On the other hand, he was interested in the formation that was powerful enough to stop cultivators who had reached the Golden Core Plane or higher from entering.

If the Nascent Plane cultivators had not worked together to put a hole in it, the Foundation Establishment cultivators would have had a hard time getting in.

Since the Nascent Plane cultivators had only put a hole in the Restriction and did not unseal it, and the fact that only Foundation Establishment Plane cultivators were the only ones to enter, the traps were not activated.

Even so, Chen Jingzhai could feel the dangers coming from all sides.

He activated his magic apparel and even took out the fish scale shield.

Even though the shield was only a spiritual item, it was sturdy enough to defend him for a while.

The cave residence was huge, but there were no pavilions or buildings. The residence mainly consisted of caves.

Chen Jingzhai felt as if he had returned to the Yellow Sands King’s cave.

The only difference was that there was no demonic energy inside the Spirit Plane cultivator’s cave. Thus it wasn’t gloomy.

Every cave had a Restriction set up, and each cultivator had chosen one to try and unseal.

The fastest to break one was the Little Jupiter Zhang Ye. Since his father was a Spirit Plane cultivator, he had more items than other disciples. So, not only did he carry a ton of spiritual items, but he also had a few magic treasures protecting him.

The moment he entered the residence, he chose one of the caves and broke the seal with his spiritual item. It only took him around a minute to achieve that.

Zhang Ye beamed happily and charged into the cave. The other cultivators did not chase after him as they were afraid that Zhang Ye would actually kill them. Chen Jingzhai looked at the rest and grinned before chasing after the Little Jupiter with his earth escape spell.

Inside the cave was a huge stone room. In the middle of the room was an eight trigrams formation.

In the center of the formation sat a square item cauldron that was tied up with chains.

Zhang Ye grinned when he got in and immediately rushed toward the item cauldron.

The moment he opened it, the room was immediately filled with the aroma of elixirs.

It was very dense.

Inside the ground, Chen Jingzhai used his divine mind to absorb some of the aromas.

“It’s the Grade 4 Soul Cultivating Elixir! It can heal the injuries of a Nascent Plane or Spirit Plane cultivator!” Chen Jingzhai thought. “Lord Ning sure is smart to use the leyline to produce the elixir. That’s why he has built his residence in the southern region.”

He wasn’t interested in the Soul Cultivating Elixir but in the Spirit Plane cultivator instead. Lord Ning was known to be an item alchemist, but it turned out that he was also proficient in elixir alchemy. Moreover, it seemed that he had hidden it very well from the Great Three Overseas Celestial Clans.

Not every elixir alchemist knew how to cultivate elixirs through leylines, and judging from the formation, Chen Jingzhai was sure that Lord Ning had extensive training in elixir alchemy.

Chen Jingzhai looked at the excited Zhang Ye and grinned. Then, he took out an Essence Refinement Card, and with his Burrowing Technique, he put the card on the bottom of the meditation mat.

The cauldron was a good item as well. It was a magic treasure, and including the Soul Cultivating Elixirs in the cauldron, just the reward from that one cave was a lot. Yet, none of those caught Chen Jingzhai’s eyes.

Although the Grade 4 Soul Cultivating Elixirs were valuable, Chen Jingzhai had all the ingredients to make a lot in the Primordial Essence World. He would be able to make one once his proficiency in elixir alchemy had increased.

On the other hand, the Little Jupiter Zhang Ye was a big, fat target that was worth using an Essence Refinement Card on. However, whether or not Zhang Ye could find the card depended on his luck.

Chen Jingzhai was about to leave when another person rushed into the room.

“This aroma... Grade 4 elixirs! Zhang Ye! Stop right there!” Along with the shout, a fireball was shot toward Zhang Ye.

“Lu Chang’an? How dare you attack me?” Zhang Ye was angered as he was attacked by surprise when he was about to take the elixirs. But, since he had a title, it was expected that he wasn’t afraid of the disciples from the celestial clans.

Zhang Ye evaded the attack and kicked the cover back onto the cauldron. He then summoned a blue seal and brought it down on Lu Chang’an.
