Li Zhirui deduced that it was a Golden Armor Corpse rather than a Flying Asura for a simple reason: if it were a fourth-tier zombie, the Golden Core Cultivator they had encountered would have long beco its blood al. How could he have possibly escaped, let alone be designed and killed by them in the end?
"I think that Golden Armor Corpse won't co into the world in a short ti. It should stay in the ruins to digest the large amount of flesh and blood it has consud…"
Despite his reassuring words, Li Zhirui still prepared for the worst, "Let Elder Shize pay close attention to this news from outside. If the situation takes a sudden turn for the worse, then be prepared to abandon our base on Da Rong Island."
Li Shilian could only nod his head in response.
"Oh, I forgot to ntion to Uncle Shilian the treasures we found in the ruins!" Li Shiren suddenly spoke up, breaking the heavy atmosphere.
At that, Li Zhirui instantly perked up, smiling, "We got quite a bit of good stuff in the ruins!"
Li Zhirui waved his hand, and a large number of jade vials and boxes appeared before everyone. He said, "Although these are all first-tier Spiritual dicine and Spirit Pills, many of them are not available in the family. Most importantly, we found Red Essence Fungus and Phoenix Qi Grass, both Foundation Establishnt dicines."
"Really?" Li Shilian asked repeatedly, "Do these two kinds of Spiritual dicine have Spirit Seeds that can be cultivated by the family?"
"There are Spirit Seeds." Li Zhirui was initially worried that the dicines they acquired had undergone Fusion Spirit Skill and had especially checked several of them.
The seeds of most Spiritual dicines carry a part of the dicine's effectiveness, so under normal circumstances, the Spiritual dicines sold would not have their Spirit Seeds stripped away.
However, this practice has a downside—that is, one could buy Spiritual dicines, extract the Spirit Seeds, and cultivate the dicines themselves, preventing certain powers from monopolizing the dicines they cultivate.
This was unacceptable to those powers. After relentless efforts, they deduced a spell that can infuse the dicinal effects and vitality of Spirit Seeds into the Spiritual dicines, hence why it was nad the Fusion Spirit Skill.
And this ensured not only that the Spiritual dicines would not leak out but also increased their dicinal effectiveness.
This spell was originally a secret technique of a few powers, but as tis changed, it is now widely spread and has beco commonplace. The Li family's Scripture Pavilion also has this technique, but no one had learned it.
Because this technique is considered second-tier and quite challenging to master, it has no other use apart from rging Spirit Seeds.
Li Zhirui actually wanted to learn it, after all, it could improve the quality of Spiritual dicines, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of Spirit Pills.
But his breakthrough in Foundation Establishnt was too recent, and he was busy with the family reform, comprehending Cultivation Techniques, refining Consolidating Yuan Pills, and learning second-tier spells. Even his ti for practicing the Visualization Skill was constantly reduced, how could he have ti to learn the Fusion Spirit Skill?
"As for whether it can be cultivated, that remains to be tested." These two types of Spiritual dicines were rare in the outside world, naturally, there would be no known thod of cultivation, and the family would have to explore slowly on their own.
Upon learning about the Red Essence Fungus and Phoenix Qi Grass, Li Shilian beca less concerned with the other precious Spiritual dicines, and his reaction to the subsequent Spirit Pills was rather indifferent.
"This is a storage ring we obtained unintentionally in the ruins; it contains only a few Jade Slips. As for what's recorded inside, we're not sure." Li Zhirui pretended to take the ring out from his bosom, in reality from his space, and then took out five Jade Slips.
"Let's examine one each."
Before long, Li Zhirui withdrew his Divine Sense and saw that the three Elders had not yet finished, so he mulled over the information he had gathered from the Jade Slip.
After a while, the three of them finally finished reviewing the content of the Jade Slips.
"What did the Jade Slips in your hands record? You've been looking at them for so long," Li Zhirui asked curiously.
Li Shilian was the first to speak, "The one I reviewed contains a Golden Core Realm Cultivation Technique called 'Clear Qi Mysterious thod Scripture'."
"Golden Core Realm Cultivation Technique?" The three looked at each other in surprise; the Li family currently had only the Wanling Sutra as a Golden Core Cultivation Technique.
Li Shilian nodded, but there was not a trace of joy on his face. He smiled wryly and said, "This technique is extrely mysterious. It can be cultivated with any Spiritual Root, just like the Wanling Sutra, focusing on refining a single breath of clear Qi. It is endlessly variable and can overco evil spirits with its profound mysteries."
"But the cultivation process is too harsh; one must absorb the Qi of clarity to cultivate, and if the body's clear Qi isn't enough, even with sufficient mana, one can't break through."
In other words, among cultivators with the sa aptitude, the one who cultivates the Clear Qi Mysterious thod Scripture must spend twice the ti to catch up to the cultivation level of the other!
"This technique is not for those with diocre talent. It must not be cultivated!" Li Shiren couldn't help but lant.
But if one has such excellent talent, then why not cultivate the Wanling Sutra? The Wanling Sutra is certainly not inferior to the Clear Qi Mysterious thod Scripture.
"So Ren, what is recorded on that Jade Slip you're holding?"
Li Shiren smiled sheepishly and said, "It's the cultivation insights of the original owner, I accidentally got engrossed in it."
" too," added Li Shiting.
"What was the original owner's level of cultivation?"
"This person was nad Liu Qingshan. In his lifeti, he was a late-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator."
Li Zhirui nodded and said, "This Jade Slip I hold records Liu Qingshan's experiences exploring the Secret Realm. This storage ring and the cultivation techniques all ca from that Secret Realm."
"A Secret Realm?" Li Shilian quickly inquired, "Does it say where the Secret Realm is located?"
Li Shiren and Li Shiting also looked eagerly at Li Zhirui.
Li Zhirui shook his head, "No, it only contains the map of the Secret Realm he recorded, along with his encounters and exploration process."

The three of them felt a bit disappointed. Li Shiren casually picked up another Jade Slip, quickly retracted his Divine Sense, and said, "This contains so second-level spells and his cultivation insights. However, they're all Fire Elent Spells."
Unfortunately for the Li family, all five Foundation Establishnt cultivators either lacked the Fire Spirit Root or had low Spiritual Root Purity and were primarily cultivating another type of Spiritual Root.
"Zhirui, quickly take out the other storage ring and that Jade Pendant," urged Li Shiren repeatedly.
Li Shilian looked puzzled at the three excited people, "What's gotten into you all?"
"Uncle Shilian, we three joined forces to kill a Golden Core cultivator!" Li Shiren grinned and explained, "Of course, not a real Golden Core, but one infected with corpse poison, transford into a zombie Golden Core."
"And these two Space Artifacts are the relics of that Golden Core," Li Zhirui continued with a smile, holding a Jade Pendant in the left hand and a ring in the right.
"This Jade Pendant is a tiny Mustard Seed Space, only two acres in size. It houses a swarm of Giant Spirit Poison Bees. However, the Golden Core's death led to the abrupt demise of the contracted queen bee, causing the swarm inside to go berserk."
A Mustard Seed Space is a high-grade Space Artifact that can accommodate living creatures but requires continual activation of a Formation with Spirit Stones.
The Golden Core cultivator planted a large number of Spirit Flowers in this Mustard Seed Space to supply the Giant Spirit Poison Bees for honey production and breeding.
Giant Spirit Poison Bees, a second-level Devil Beast, have queens that can grow up to three feet in size, with the rest of the Spirit Bees ranging from eight inches to a foot, making them so of the largest Spirit Bees.
Moreover, they carry a potent venom and are immune to certain water and fire attacks, making them a formidable type of attack Spirit Insect.
