Chapter 1723: A Large Cache of Spirit Stones

The master and disciple entered the secret chamber and were momentarily stunned by the sight.

The room was empty, covered in a thick layer of dust, with only a table in the middle. On the table were two storage bags, and resting on top of the bags was a hexagonal object of earthy yellow color, adorned with runes unfamiliar to Mengyu.

Mengyu picked up the earthy yellow hexagonal object, feeling her heart race.

Placed outside the storage bags, is this object very important, or is it insignificant, merely set aside casually on the storage bags?

Qing Wen saw his master examining the stone-like object, but he was anxious, "Master, there are two storage bags here!"

"Mm, you may look at them first," Mengyu said.

"The storage bags are restricted," Qing Wen replied helplessly.

The storage bags had restrictions, but these mainly served to protect the contents from deteriorating over time.

Mengyu effortlessly broke the restriction. As she probed the storage bags with her Divine Sense, she was again surprised; although each storage bag was not very large, they were filled to the brim with spirit stones.

Though most were low-grade spirit stones, together they amassed over a million pieces.

In this era of scarce spiritual energy, such a quantity of spirit stones was a considerable fortune.

Since embarking on the immortal path, Mengyu had never lacked spirit stones. First, she acquired many in Medicine Valley; later, when Gu Dongxing regained his memory, he gifted her a large number of spirit stones. Subsequently, she ambushed Jiang Huaiyu and obtained her ring, which contained the collection of a senior who had undergone tribulation—naturally, there were many spirit stones.

Later on, she was almost body-seized by a Heavenly Immortal remnant soul, which she countered, acquiring two rings from it—one ring alone contained billions in spirit stones.

Hence, these million spirit stones were not particularly impressive to her. However, since her master and disciple currently relied on spirit stones to cultivate, she still needed them.

Mengyu looked at Qing Wen: "Qing Wen, you saw it too, right? Inside are all spirit stones; what do you think the situation is with so many spirit stones and this hexagonal object your ancestor left here?"

Qing Wen thought for a moment and said, "Master, I think these spirit stones might not belong to my ancestor, but were kept here for delivery or safekeeping for someone else. Otherwise, they should have been carried on him, not left here in the secret chamber. That hexagonal object seems more like a token."

Mengyu reached out and stroked Qing Wen’s head: "Not bad, that’s my assessment too. Cultivators typically carry their belongings, especially spirit stones, with them and wouldn’t leave them in their dwelling place.

Therefore, these items seem to be waiting for someone to retrieve them. But judging by the thick dust, no one’s been here for at least a few hundred years. That person hasn’t come for centuries, very likely because they’re unable to."

Mengyu sighed again: "Qing Wen, the Master Cultivation World is cruel. Without caution, you might easily lose your life, without even the chance for reincarnation.

But we can’t hide forever in the Mortal World; after all, there’s no spiritual energy in the Mortal World. We currently rely on spirit stones and pills for spiritual power. But eventually, spirit stones and pills will be exhausted, and ultimately, we must enter the Immortal Sect.

So, from now on, we must learn various combat techniques instead of focusing solely on cultivation. Only with sufficient combat ability can we survive in the Master Cultivation World. Therefore, after returning, you should stop attending school for now and cultivate at home. In fact, don’t stay at Yang’an Small Courtyard anymore; come live with me at Jade Garden."
