From the yellowed descriptions on the map, it appears to be the ruins of a cultivator’s cave mansion.
However, due to its incomplete nature, nothing much can be discerned. It can only be vaguely seen that the location recorded on the map seems to be near an island on the sea.
Whether it is in the Qingli Sea or an island outside of it, this can only be known once the other fragnt of the map is assembled.
Lu Ping and Lu Xuelian also looked at this fragnt for quite a while, but couldn’t make sense of it.
But since Chen Yuerong kept it, she must have known sothing, but unfortunately, now that she is dead, there’s no way to know the answer.
Perhaps it’s better to keep it aside and see what opportunities might arise in the future.
Lu Xuelian, however, wasn’t very interested in the tattered map.
For her, before she reaches the Foundation Establishnt Stage, she believes ruins like a cultivator’s cave mansion are a bit too hazardous.
It’s better to stay in the Cyan Mountain Sect and enjoy the peace of cultivating spirit beasts and spirit worms.
Besides, the map is incomplete; who knows if it’s really an opportunity.
She voluntarily gave the incomplete map to Lu Yuanshan, handing it over to the sect.
Lu Yuanshan did not hesitate; he accepted it imdiately and gave a very serious promise.
"Consider this map temporarily kept by on your behalf. If there is a chance in the future to find the other half, and if indeed there are relics and treasures, you will certainly not be lacking your share."
The final task is to tally up the battle spoils, particularly the Shield of Li Fire cultivation technique.
Lu Yuanshan had long heard of this Five Elents Inheritance Technique from the Hengyue Sect, and his interest in it was not particularly high.
The Cyan Mountain Sect isn’t short of cultivation techniques of this level.
But for Lu Xuelian, practicing it could be a good choice.
The Li Fire Sword, which is a Tier One Top-Grade, can also be equipped for Lu Xuelian.
Lu Yuanshan would not lay a finger on these spoils and would hand them all over to Lu Xuelian.
Except for the Dark Demon Banner, which requires special attention.
"To avoid future troubles, it’s best to destroy this demonic magical artifact quickly; it can’t be kept."
Lu Ping, observing from the side, gave this order.
Knowing Lu Ping’s instructions, Lu Yuanshan naturally had to comply.
Lu Xuelian had no objection and nodded repeatedly, really fearing that keeping this demonic magical artifact would beco a hidden danger.
After destroying the Dark Demon Banner, Lu Yuanshan inquired about the White Jade Honey.
Learning that three jars of White Jade Honey were yet unsold, Lu Yuanshan guessed the reason Lu Xuelian was attacked.
"This ti, the ambush by Hengyue Sect disciples, I believe, was because of these three jars of White Jade Honey. White Jade Honey attracts not just Qi Cultivators, but even Foundation Establishnt Cultivators can be tempted."
"You worked hard at the market this ti."
The two discussed the White Jade Honey for a while, calculating the proceeds from its sale.
Three jars of White Jade Honey brought in three thousand spirit stones, and after deducting the materials for breeding the Cloud Stepping Beast, 2319 spirit stones remained.
This was no small inco.
After accounting for all these spirit stones and handing them to Lu Yuanshan, the sky outside the hall was nearing evening.
Lu Xuelian then bid farewell, preparing to focus on breeding Cloud Stepping Beasts.
The materials from Qinghe Market for breeding and taming Cloud Stepping Beasts were purchased thoroughly and would take several days to arrange and build.
This process lasted for a total of three days.
During these three days, Lu Yuanshan handed the remaining three jars of White Jade Honey to She Qingqing, to be unified and refined into Jade Bee Pills.
Adding to the ten jars of White Jade Honey from before, this ti there were twelve bottles of Jade Bee Pills produced.
In theory, thirteen jars of White Jade Honey could refine thirteen bottles of Jade Bee Pills.
That calculation is not wrong.
But an alchemist’s success rate isn’t always 100%, as there is always so material loss.
Refining Jade Bee Pills also requires other auxiliary materials like Gold and Silver Grass, Fire Flood Dragon Leaf, and such, making the process not so simple.
A yield rate of about ninety percent is already very high.
Consuming Jade Bee Pills can enhance a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator’s magical power and purity of qi and blood, strengthening their divine soul and divine sense.
It can significantly increase the power of moves when fighting an enemy, and extend endurance in combat.
The effects are quite remarkable.
The twelve bottles of Jade Bee Pills were divided entirely between Zhiwei and Lu Yuanshan, with each receiving six bottles.
The Jade Bee Pills are most beneficial to Foundation Establishnt Cultivators.
If given to Qi Cultivators, not only might the dicinal power be too intense and difficult to refine, but the effect would also be diminished.
Based on the principle of maximizing usefulness, Qi Cultivators were not allowed to partake.
Using these Jade Bee Pills, after several days of cultivation, Lu Yuanshan jumped from the Third-Layer Foundation Establishnt to the Fourth-Layer, further solidifying his power.
Lu Zhiwei also made progress, moving from the Second-Layer Foundation Establishnt to the peak of the Second Layer, now only a step away from the Third Layer.
With further effort in cultivation for another year, breaking through to the Third-Layer Foundation Establishnt should be no problem.
With the significant enhancent of Zhiwei and Lu Yuanshan’s abilities, Lu Ping’s system also made so progress.
[Doorway Affairs: Clearing the remnants of the Giant Whale Gang near Qingli Sea Hengsha Island, task completed]
[Completion Reward: Reputation 810, Magical Artifact Cloud-Piercing Shuttle ×1]
...
Another doorway affair has been completed.
...
Qingli Sea.
On the high seas outside Hengsha Island, a gigantic spiritual ship is slicing through the waves.
Lin Han, Zhang Nianzhi, Song Minghui, and Lu Changfeng stand side by side on the bow deck.
Clearing the remaining Giant Whale Gang near Hengsha Island was their combined effort, taking about half a month.
At the sa ti, behind the four, there is a team from a family traveling along.
These family mbers belong to a Qi Cultivation Clan in Qingli Sea known as the Bai Family.
Calling it a Cultivation Clan is a stretch; it’s more of a Qi Cultivation Clan.
Located a thousand miles from Hengsha Island on Luzhou Island, the Bai Family has had a lineage of only over 160 years. The current family head is Bai Xianghe, a Fifth-Layer Qi Cultivation Cultivator.
The Bai Family has grown to over 600 people, with only eleven cultivators.
At this mont, among the Bai family mbers, both n and won, old and young, their gazes occasionally show admiration and gratitude when looking at the backs of Zhang Nianchuan and the others.
This is because, about an incense stick’s ti ago, this spiritual ship was intercepted by remnants of the Giant Whale Gang.
The cultivation level of these remnants ranged from as low as Third-Layer Qi Cultivation, up to the leader at Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation.
As a native gang in Qingli Sea, the Giant Whale Gang once had two Crystallization Stage Cultivators at its peak, ruling over a sea area and setting themselves up as kings.
But due to overbearing behavior, frequently extorting passing cultivators without restraint, they were eventually wiped out by a Crystallization Stage Cultivator from the Five Elents Sword Sect.
In that battle, the Giant Whale Gang’s two Crystallization experts, and over a dozen Foundation Establishnt cultivators, fell.
The Giant Whale Gang thus disbanded.
The surviving dozen or so mbers, under the leadership of a Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivator nad Zhu E, turned to robbery and murder, wandering the seas near Hengsha Island.
