Chapter 89: Great Fortune, Earth Vein Spirit Liquid
"What is this?"
Lu Qing stared at what lay before him, his heart filled with awe.
In front of him and Xiao Li, a spacious and grand cave chamber suddenly came into view.
The walls and floor of the chamber were like white jade, adorned with intricate and ancient arcane runes that exuded a profound mystery.
At the center of the chamber stood a massive stone platform.
Upon the platform was a gleaming stalactite pillar, its tip pointing directly at the center of the platform like the nib of a pen.
Lu Qing was astonished by what he saw.
He would never have imagined that the place he had been longing to reach for so long would turn out to be such a sparkling wonder.
Standing at the entrance of the crystallized cave chamber, Lu Qing hesitated before stepping inside.
Now that he was here, the sense of clarity in his mind intensified, and he felt even more cautious.
This chamber was so unusual that it was clearly not naturally formed.
If it was man-made, there was a high possibility that it had some sort of protection in place.
Although he didn't sense any danger, he still didn't want to rush in recklessly.
However, to Lu Qing's surprise, Xiao Li suddenly jumped off his shoulder and darted into the chamber.
"Wait, Xiao Li!" Lu Qing exclaimed in alarm.
What surprised him even more was that just as Xiao Li was about to enter the chamber, a faint barrier of light appeared, seemingly intending to stop Xiao Li in his tracks.
Just as Lu Qing thought Xiao Li might be harmed, a flash of black light appeared, and the barrier was effortlessly torn apart by Xiao Li as if it were a bubble being popped.
"Hmm?"
Lu Qing stood there with his mouth slightly agape, unable to believe what he had just witnessed.
This crystallized chamber was so extraordinary that he had assumed its defensive capabilities would be formidable. Yet, it had been easily breached by Xiao Li.
"Meow?"
Xiao Li stood in the chamber, looking back at Lu Qing with a confused expression.
It seemed to be wondering why Lu Qing had called out to it earlier.
"It's nothing," Lu Qing replied.
Seeing that Xiao Li had been in the chamber for a while without any incidents, Lu Qing realized that he had been overly worried.
As a spirit beast, Xiao Li's danger perception far surpassed his own. If Xiao Li didn't sense any danger, then there was likely nothing to worry about.
Lu Qing took a step forward, testing if he could enter the chamber as well. He wasn't sure if the barrier would regenerate after being destroyed.
This time, he was able to enter the chamber without any hindrance, encountering no resistance whatsoever.
Once he was truly inside the chamber, the sense of clarity in Lu Qing's mind intensified further, as if a layer of dust had been wiped from his soul, leaving him feeling incredibly refreshed.
His thoughts seemed to flow more swiftly as he pondered the situation.
A strange look flashed in Lu Qing's eyes.
Even if there were no other treasures in this cave, the sense of clarity emanating from the chamber was already a significant gain.
He had a feeling that cultivating in this cave would bring him considerable benefits.
However, Lu Qing decided to put those thoughts aside for later. For now, he was more interested in exploring the chamber and its contents.
Xiao Li, on the other hand, was already growing impatient. Now that Lu Qing had finally entered, Xiao Li eagerly pulled him toward the central stone platform.
Following Xiao Li's lead, Lu Qing approached the stone platform.
The platform was about half a person's height, and like the surrounding walls and floor, it had almost completely crystallized.
Chapter: The Secret Chamber Unveiled
On top of the stone platform were intricate carvings that seemed to hold mysterious powers.
Right in the center was a rounded indentation containing a liquid as white as jade.
Upon seeing this liquid, Lu Qing looked up at the stalactite pillar hanging above the platform, guessing that the liquid must have dripped from it.
He focused his attention on the liquid in the stone platform.
After a while, a faint golden light emanated from the pristine liquid.
Terra Vein Elixir: A rare and precious elixir, non-toxic and consumable.
This elixir is a legendary concoction that can bring the dead back to life, rejuvenate flesh and bones, grant longevity, and enhance the potential of those who consume it, be they human or beast. It is said that those with mystical powers can harness the earth's energy, creating formations, and refining the essence of the terra veins to produce this elixir.
The Terra Vein Elixir can be ingested directly or refined into pills, offering limitless possibilities.
"Golden light?!?"
Lu Qing was astonished as he witnessed the extraordinary light emanating from the white liquid.
This was the first time he had ever seen such a phenomenon, and it left him in awe.
Even Little Li, a magical beast, only emitted a red light in his eyes.
But when he finished scanning it with his abilities and read the information, he was completely stunned.
Bringing the dead back to life and rejuvenating flesh and bones!
Longevity!
Improving one's innate talent, increasing potential, and defying fate!
Each of these phrases, if attributed to any item, would instantly make it a coveted treasure.
And now, they were all used to describe the Terra Vein Elixir.
This alone spoke volumes about its immense value. Lu Qing's gaze toward the elixir intensified with desire.
Such an elixir could truly be considered a rare treasure. What was Ginseng or Tienchi compared to this? They were nothing but common herbs in comparison.
It took a while for Lu Qing's excited heart to calm down a little.
He stopped Little Li, who was about to dip his paw into the Terra Vein Elixir, from doing so.
Such a precious elixir should not be used casually. If a single drop were wasted, it would be a great loss, enough to break one's heart.
Taking a few deep breaths to force himself to calm down, Lu Qing temporarily shifted his attention away from the elixir.
He noticed that the information revealed by his ability scan mentioned another crucial piece of information.
"One who possesses mystical powers!"
This chamber was created by someone with mystical powers.
What kind of person could possess such powers? Was it the mysterious innate grandmaster his master had mentioned, or an even more extraordinary being? Lu Qing's heart raced with excitement.
Whichever it was, it indicated that the upper limits of cultivation in this world were far higher than he had imagined.
For him, this was excellent news.
After pondering for a while, Lu Qing began to inspect the chamber more closely.
Since this place was specially arranged by someone with mystical powers, there might be more to discover.
Indeed, after a thorough examination, Lu Qing noticed something peculiar on one side of the chamber.
Secret Door: A deliberately constructed stone door, beyond which lies a hidden realm.
This secret door has no mechanism; simply push inward with force to open it.
Seeing no traps, Lu Qing stood before the door and channeled his qi, pushing against the hidden door with force.
The door, made of the same jade-like stone as the chamber, was quite heavy.
Thankfully, Lu Qing was just strong enough to move it.
As he pushed harder, the secret door slowly opened.
