Upon opening the bundle, the contents were sparse.
The world doesn’t have any storage rings, and when casting certain spells, the magic artifacts used are nurous, so one has to be selective.
Li Yan and his companions, as traveling immortals, generally carried things with them. Even though they simplified, over ti they accumulated quite a bit of baggage.
The three Wushan Loose Immortals surely had other hidden locations, but now that they’re dead, those things beca ownerless items.
This is why, in so deep mountains, one occasionally finds grottoes with Daoist Scriptures and magic artifacts, creating a legendary tale.
The first item was the "Ruyi Treasure Pearl."
This item was still wrapped in a red cloth, with a talisman masking its presence, making it eye-catching and only to be used at critical monts.
Li Yan carefully set it aside and picked up two blades.
These were left by the one-eyed Daoist.
Regarding this person, we only know his surna is "Lin," learned spells of the Tongtian Sect, and know nothing else.
The opponent likely used a body seizing technique, obtaining another’s body at death, barely surviving, and hiding in Wushan as an Earth Immortal.
A pile of short knives, all jet-black in color, with rough blades, filled with pores, when held, emitted a chilling Yin Sha Qi.
The material was sothing Li Yan had just seen on Hua Mountain.
This object was called "Netherworld Iron," originally a teorite from the heavens, transford over ti in tombs or deep valleys filled with Yin Sha Qi.
It could enhance ghost control, spells, and other Yin nature techniques.
Though considered a treasure, it wasn’t suitable for them, better set aside for a trade during Qingcheng Mountain’s Treasure Vault opening.
This trip to Shu truly involved many things.
First, to attend the "Yellow Springs" organization’s eting and to seek Yin Changsheng’s inheritance, the Fengdu trip was settled, just waiting for a revisit in the twelfth lunar month for a gathering to see what benefits might be gained.
Second, to help the Dragon Lady determine the cause of River God’s anomalies, no clue yet, but it’s likely related to the Ancient Dragon Palace.
This was also one of the reasons for the chaos along Shu’s Jianghu.
Third, to ascend Qingcheng Mountain, firstly to craft magic artifacts, secondly to establish connections for next year’s vault opening ceremony.
The remaining tasks were miscellaneous ones.
Like escorting the Bai Family to Qingcheng, or visiting certain areas to help Wang Jingxiu find treasure dicines.
Besides, there were two treasures.
One was the Bai Family’s reward; the Life Fate Association had a small grotto hidden in Shu, not exactly world-shattering, but old enough for its contents to be used for exchanges at Qingcheng Mountain.
Considering the Mystical Sect’s vault opening, barter exchanges were more appropriate.
They couldn’t afford it if they used silver.
The other reward from Qingniu Temple, with a few hidden locations of Heavenly Spirit Earth Treasures, required finding a Hidden Treasure Man en route to retrieve the treasures.
This was one of their reasons for coming to Chongqing.
Thinking of this, Li Yan placed the short knives aside.
The one-eyed Daoist’s most valuable possession was this, the rest were trivialities, all given to ng Changgui.
The crucial items were those carried by Wang ngsheng and the Wenxiang Sect’s Holy Daughter.
Wang ngsheng carried two books: one nad "Yi Chen," and the other "Luowei," unheard nas of prophetic technique scriptures.
According to Bai Huan, Wang ngsheng hid in Wushan’s "Scripture Emperor Cave" for cultivation. In the past, Emperor Wu of Liang stored books there, and Emperor Xuanzong sheltered there during the Anshi Rebellion.
Perhaps an isolated secret manual left by the palace.
Li Yan carefully opened and flipped through them.
"Yi Chen" was a Chen Map, illustrating the sixty-four hexagrams of "The Book of Changes," corresponding to Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, along with the Five Elents and Six Qi theory, containing prophecies and so peculiar spells.
"Luowei" was another explanation of the Luoshu, mostly related to gods and ghosts, mixed with certain spells.
Li Yan was perplexed, unable to understand, so he kept them aside to later give them to Wang Daoxuan for comprehension.
Prophetic Techniques are a Confucian Forbidden Technique, presumably powerful.
And aside from so refined incense powders for spell casting, the Holy Woman of Wenxiang Sect had only a scroll.
The scroll was ancient, seemingly leather-made, brightly colored, depicting strange deities, clearly Esoteric Sect in nature.
Moreover, it emitted a coiling Astral Bane Energy; if one stared for a while, illusions would appear before the eyes.
This type of scripture-like magic artifact was a first for Li Yan.
If encountered by Buddhist experts, one might inquire.
After organizing and categorizing the items, Li Yan shook his head slightly.
This ti, they sustained so losses.
Although he defeated the temple master of Qingniu Temple and captured the Demonic Qi, obtaining an Astral Order and a Divine Astral, he used up an Astral Order when exterminating the two immortals of Wushan.
The situation was urgent at that ti, he couldn’t accept any tasks, thus risking life and death to annihilate an Earth Immortal, not claiming the Yin Bureau’s bounty.
On the contrary, ng Changgui benefited from it.
It should be known, such opportunities are rare.
Living Yin Constables were neses for Earth Immortals and Rejuvenators. Regardless of one’s Dao proficiency, if they challenge it, they’re courting death.
This is why Earth Immortals rarely appear before living Yin Cons?
To confront them, one usually seeks disciples from the sect, or skilled Mystical Sect experts, or even powerful assassins to take down a living Yin ssenger.
In essence, it’s a rock-paper-scissors relationship.
Mutual balance forms the current scenario.
Finding such opportunities again is increasingly difficult.
But he didn’t leave empty-handed.
The "Ruyi Treasure Pearl" was rely an external item. What truly delighted Li Yan was the Daluo Dharma Body further advancing.
Previously resembling a ragged stone form, it later adopted a porcelain-like appearance, growing more exquisite, and now, it revealed a tallic luster!
