“Since that’s the case, Sect Leader Zhang, I’ll take my leave now.”
After Ye Lin finished speaking, he got up and left the treasure vault, flying towards the distance.
The Slashing Immortal Sect currently held no value for him.
Watching Ye Lin’s departing figure, Zhang Zhidao, holding the small sword in his hand, hurried to the back mountain.
As long as there was a Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivator overseeing the Slashing Immortal Sect, everything would be worth it.
Ye Lin arrived at a mountain peak, then slowly descended and took out the five wooden boxes.
“Let me see what kind of things can last for millions of years.”
Ye Lin eagerly opened the first wooden box, and immediately, a silver long spear came into view. Cold glints occasionally flashed across the silver long spear.
If one stared at it for too long, their eyes would sting.
“An Earth Rank Low Grade treasure, I didn’t expect it to be such a good item, not bad.”
Ye Lin picked up the long spear and brandished it for a long time, his face full of praise.
An Earth Rank Low Grade long spear—this was the first time he had obtained such a precious weapon. Moreover, just by looking at this long spear, it was considered top-tier even among Earth Rank Low Grade items.
“The treasure in the first wooden box is already so precious; I’m even more excited about the second one.”
Ye Lin stuck the long spear beside him and then opened the second wooden box.
Inside the wooden box lay a jade talisman.
The moment Ye Lin saw this jade talisman, he knew what it was.
It was a Cultivation Technique jade talisman. Generally, peerless Cultivation Techniques were stored within these talismans. As long as the jade talisman was placed on the forehead and activated, the Cultivation Technique within it would automatically be inscribed into one’s mind.
Moreover, this type of jade talisman could usually only be used once, and after one use, it would automatically self-destruct.
The Nameless Mountain also contained this kind of item.
“According to what Zhang Zhidao said, these five wooden boxes are all meant to Cultivate the next Legacy holder, so there shouldn’t be any danger.”
Ye Lin looked at the jade talisman in his hand, feeling a bit wary.
What if a remnant Divine Soul of a Soul Transformation Realm True Person was stored within this jade talisman, intending to possess him? That would be the end of him.
“Forget it. On the path of Cultivation, if one is too timid, it’s hard to achieve Major Achievement. I’ll gamble.”
Ye Lin gritted his teeth, then placed the jade talisman on his forehead and closed his eyes, comprehending it carefully.
Immediately, obscure characters were inscribed into Ye Lin’s mind.
After a full half an hour, Ye Lin finally opened his eyes.
The jade talisman recorded an Earth Rank Low Grade spear Martial Skill, the Hundred Battles Spear Art. If Cultivated to Major Achievement, it could even evolve the Physical Body into the Hundred Battles Spear Body, which was incredibly abnormal.
“It seems the Slashing Immortal Sect’s Ancestral Master was a spear Dao Cultivator, but the Slashing Immortal Sect currently seems to Cultivate Immortals. Interesting.”
Ye Lin chuckled softly.
The Slashing Immortal Sect’s Ancestral Master practiced the spear, while his descendants practiced the sword.
Tsk, what a decision that went against the Ancestral Master’s teachings.
“However, this spear art is incredibly powerful, but compared to my Nine Swords, it’s still far too inferior.”
“There are many useful things in this spear art that I can draw upon to make up for the deficiencies in my Sword Dao.”
After Ye Lin finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the next wooden box.
The items in the first two wooden boxes, if taken out, would be enough to attract Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivators to fight over them, and even Soul Transformation Realm True Persons would be tempted.
After opening the next wooden box, inside it lay a solitary fruit that resembled a human but wasn’t quite human. The entire fruit was like an infant, with its hands placed at its Dantian, eyes closed and head bowed, sitting cross-legged in meditation.
The entire fruit was jade-colored, pure white and flawless, looking incredibly beautiful.
A faint fragrance emanated from it; just a wisp was enough to invigorate Ye Lin.
“This thing, it looks like the Ginseng Fruit from my previous life.”
Looking at the fruit before him, Ye Lin couldn’t help but feel a little confused.
He had never seen this thing before, but its shape did resemble the Ginseng Fruit from the Wuzhuang Temple in his previous life.
Just then, a jade talisman in his space ring was bouncing around erratically, seemingly eager to rush out of the space ring.
Ye Lin immediately took out the jade talisman and placed it before his eyes.
Then, a phantom appeared.
“Give me this item, and I’ll give you an Earth Rank Low Grade Sword Art.”
Cui Zhu’s eyes looked at the fruit that closely resembled a Ginseng Fruit, her eyes filled with fervent desire.
What she hadn’t expected was that in this era, such a treasure still existed.
“Senior, what is this item? And what is its use?”
Seeing Cui Zhu’s eager desire to obtain it, Ye Lin increasingly felt that this item was not simple.
Looking at Ye Lin, Cui Zhu pursed her lips, and finally spoke.
“This item had a name in the Ancient Era: Human Cultivation Fruit. It is an Earth Rank Low Grade Heavenly Spiritual Plant.”
“This kind of thing cannot be cultivated by human power; only heaven and earth can nurture it.”
“Once consumed, it can infinitely enhance one’s Divine Soul.”
“This item is of great use to me. I can exchange an Earth Rank Low Grade Martial Skill with you. How about it?”
Cui Zhu finished speaking, her eyes looking at Ye Lin.
However, after Ye Lin heard her, his eyes also burned with fervor. A treasure that enhances Divine Soul, and it’s Earth Rank Low Grade—such a thing is undoubtedly extremely precious. He hadn’t expected to stumble upon it himself.
As for exchanging it with Cui Zhu, he would be out of his mind to do so.
After all, he possessed two swords, each of which could reach Heaven Rank. As for Earth Rank Low Grade Sword Dao Martial Skills, he didn’t even bother to look at them.
Conversely, treasures that could enhance the Divine Soul were the most precious.
“Senior, this item is of great use to me. I do not intend to exchange it with you.”
Having thought it through, Ye Lin directly and righteously refused Cui Zhu. How could he possibly hand over such a good item to someone else?
“You… Since that’s the case, so be it. Remember, find me a treasure that can nourish the Divine Soul.”
After Cui Zhu finished speaking, she gave Ye Lin a deep look, then disappeared.
Her current state was extremely poor. The mere passage of millions of years had caused her immense damage; after all, she was just a wisp of a remnant Divine Soul. To be able to stubbornly preserve herself for millions of years was already incredibly powerful.
Moreover, she currently had no combat power whatsoever. Everything still depended on Ye Lin. Being at someone else’s mercy, she dared not displease Ye Lin.
Seeing Cui Zhu disappear, Ye Lin put away the jade talisman and then placed it back into his space ring.
Temporarily setting aside the Human Cultivation Fruit, he then looked at the next wooden box and opened it without hesitation.
Inside the wooden box lay a Spiritual Plant, from which precious light occasionally flashed.
“Body Refining Grass?”
Seeing this Spiritual Plant, Ye Lin’s face lit up with joy.
He had seen this grass in the Nameless Mountain ancient texts. It was called Body Refining Grass. Although its name sounded common, its grade was indeed Earth Rank Low Grade.
The Body Refining Grass, as its name suggested, was specifically used for Body Refining.
Grinding this grass into powder and then using it for a medicinal bath would greatly enhance the Physical Body’s strength.
“Good stuff, I’ll put it into my space ring first.”
Ye Lin put away the Body Refining Grass and approached the last wooden box.
First a weapon, then a Martial Skill, then something to enhance the Divine Soul, and finally something to enhance the Physical Body—this entire set was indeed prepared for cultivating a successor.
However, he had intercepted it.
With offensive and cultivation-enhancing items already covered by the first four, only life-saving measures remained.
When the fifth wooden box was opened, sure enough, everything was just as Ye Lin had guessed.
Inside the fifth wooden box, prominently displayed, was…
