"At least in the future, I won’t have to keep paying with Ghost Dao Golden Cores."
Ning Zhuo had made a fortune from the war in the Thousand Peak Forest, so he wasn’t surprised by the amount of Spirit Stones.
"There are low-grade, mid-grade, and top-grade Spirit Stones, and this inheritance also accounts for various dangerous scenarios during inheritance. When in distress, taking out a top-grade Spirit Stone would only invite the greedy and the wicked."
The second Storage Bag contained treasures, primarily spiritual bamboo of various types.
There was Dragon Roar Bamboo, with hollow nodes, that would howl like a dragon when the wind passed through.
There was Startled Swan Bamboo, with a slender body that, when shaken violently, produced a vibrating sound that could tear silk.
There was Ghost Cry Bamboo, whose falling leaves resembled ghostly cries, and it could capture souls during nightti rain.
There was Golden Jade Bamboo, with a golden body and jade leaves.
There was Twisted Silk Bamboo, whose fibers were as flexible as Flood-Dragon Tendons, capable of twisting and binding the enemy a thousandfold without moving.
There was Grounded Green Python Bamboo, which didn’t grow upright but spread along the ground, with its nodes contracting and extending like a serpent’s movent.
There was also Valley Echoing Bamboo, an excellent material for making sound-transmitting treasures...
The third Storage Bag contained the fewest items, but they were the most practical for Ning Zhuo.
There were many Foundation Establishnt Level Magic Artifacts, which needed no special ntion.
Speaking of Golden Core Level treasures—
There was a Great Thousand chanism Sound Robe, a Golden Core Level long-sleeve magic robe.
There was an Azure Bamboo Armor of a Hundred Transformations, a piece of chanical Armor with 720 parts when scattered, which could assemble into a seamless, protective suit for a cultivator’s body.
There was a Hundred-Segnt Langgan Whip, a chanical Treasure that could unleash a sound attack when swung, with the sound attack enhancing the whip’s montum.
There was a Golden Core Level Spiritual Bamboo Puppet, the Humbleheart Broken-Blade Guard.
Lastly, there was a chanical Carriage called Green Forest Python Chariot, best suited for navigating complex forest terrains.
"There’s no Nascent Soul Level chanical artifact," Ning Zhuo felt so disappointnt, and he glimpsed the plight of the Qinghuangzi lineage from this.
"If he had such chanical artifacts, he’d have the deterrence of the Nascent Soul Level and wouldn’t be in such straits, urgently selecting a successor during the Xingyun Trial."
Ning Zhuo experinted with these chanical treasures in the Martial Arts Array space.
He discovered that the power he could exert with these treasures was less than fifty percent.
"Firstly, I lack orthodox mana; secondly, the Sound Control skill requires mastery of the ’Empty Valley Sound Green chanism Tube’ inheritance to et the manipulation standard."
Ning Zhuo personally tested everything, finding that the chanical vehicle Green Forest Python Chariot was the easiest to control, needing the least proficiency in Sound Control skills.
"I do need a ans of transportation. Next, I’ll first master this chanical vehicle."
"Once Qinghuangzi passes away, I’ll take over Qingzhu Peak, utilizing various spiritual bamboo on the mountain to master this ’Empty Valley Sound Green chanism Tube’ inheritance."
Whenever he thought of Qinghuangzi, Ning Zhuo couldn’t help but feel a bit downcast.
He fell into a mont of silence, and after a long while, he sighed deeply, filled with emotion.
"Qingzhu Peak was originally a place of inheritance, but it was absorbed by the Myriad Images Sect. As a successor, I can only lease it."
"Though Qinghuangzi’s talents may be insufficient, he has been doing his best to maintain this inheritance, not letting down the instructions of those before..."
What is the purpose of living?
What is the purpose of cultivation?
Inheritance...
This is a matter of great significance, being one of the main survival and cultivation purposes throughout the ages in this cultivation world.
There has never been soone who achieved immortality!
Cultivation to new levels does extend lifespan, but it’s never infinite.
A cultivator’s lifespan has limits, no matter how strong they are, they will eventually die.
Apart from bloodline, innovating and passing down cultivation techniques and skills to the next generation is one of the life anings pursued by the vast majority of cultivators.
Even if I die, I have existed, and my cultivation is aningful. Even if my improvents are minor, as long as they bless and influence future generations, they will rember , proving the value of my existence.
Ning Zhuo naturally understood the aning of "inheritance."
But before, he had only learned through books, and even after benefiting from the Five Elents God Master, the feeling wasn’t profound.
Now, eting Qinghuangzi, who, although was a fleeting presence in his life, not very strong, and facing death, brought Ning Zhuo a profound sigh.
"Young master, this is the intelligence on Chen San," Gongsun Yan reported from outside the array.
Ning Zhuo acknowledged with a hum, slightly opening the Martial Arts Array with a gap, releasing an invisible pull to bring the Intelligence Jade Scroll from outside into his hand.
Thanks must be given to the Comrce Hall.
This hall is quite remarkable, capable of trading a wide range of goods, including intelligence.
Ning Zhuo, newly arrived, relied on the Comrce Hall to easily fill a significant gap in intelligence gathering.
