Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was exceedingly precious because it was so difficult to gather. Even the most ordinary River Qi required a Great Saint Level expert to collect for three to five thousand years just to obtain a single wisp, which then had to be sealed using prepared sacred-grade jade stone.
Looking at this River Qi Stone, you were filled with fantasies about the future. You quickly put the stone away, then searched the room once more. After confirming there was nothing else, you left the room and the house.
You took out the Heaven Grade Chessboard again to divine fortune and misfortune, only to discover that danger seemed to lurk nearby. It was not wise to remain for long, so you quickly left. Every so often, you divined fortune and misfortune again, eventually discovering that the entire inner region of the relic was unsafe.
Half a day after you left, a Mid Infant God Realm Great Power arrived at the room you had previously explored. He froze when he saw that there was no formation, then entered the house, only to discover that all useful items had already been taken. He could not help muttering in confusion, "Could Prince Chong have deceived me? Why did I come here according to the location he gave me, yet find none of the formation outside the house that he mentioned? And there is not a single good thing inside either. Did His Highness take all the treasures? Or did someone else come here after His Highness left?"
He did not quite believe that anyone could have arrived before him. After all, his cultivation was among the highest here, and with intelligence from Prince Chong of the Mingye Kingdom, he had long since set his sights on this relic.
However, according to his information, he only knew that the relic would appear within Jiang State. Even the Sacred Artifact could not determine its exact location.
That was why he had waited in advance in the heartland of Jiang State. Fortunately, it had appeared in Yang Prefecture, very close to where he was, so he had arrived at the relic extremely quickly. With everything planned in advance, even if someone else had also come for this room, it was unlikely they could have been faster than him and seized his opportunity at the very first moment.
Although he did not quite believe someone had gotten there before him, he could not possibly leave this trip empty-handed. He planned to sweep through the people remaining in the inner region, kill them all, and see whether someone had cut him off. Even if no one had, he could still gain a fine harvest. After all, there were many treasures in the inner region. As long as those people had obtained treasures there, he would be able to gain quite a bit from them.
It was precisely because he had such thoughts that the Heaven Grade Chessboard deduced them and warned you in advance.
Although you moved from the inner region of the relic to the outer region because of the danger, your gains from this trip had already been quite abundant, and you were rather satisfied.
You soon plundered all the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the outer region that you remembered. By the time you finished, nine days had passed. With six days remaining, you began searching for other unknown precious materials.
Six days later, you left the Holy Land Relic. Because your cultivation was powerful, neither those who emerged from the relic alongside you nor those waiting outside dared to stop you. They even kept far away from you, fearing that you would rob them.
You paid them no heed and instead looked toward Ye Ping'an and his group, who had just emerged from the relic. Fortunately, everyone was present. It seemed they had not encountered any danger inside.
When you saw them, Jiang Changtian arrived at your side with his two great-grandsons. You flew away with them toward the route home.
After returning to Jiancheng, you took out the pills acquired on this journey for inspection. There were so many that you had become somewhat numb. Apart from some pills you did not recognize, which you could ask Zhang Tianhuo about later, there were more than ten bottles of Earth Grade Pills. Though precious, they were nothing compared to the other pills, so you set them aside for now.
You took out the pills above Heaven Grade to examine them. One bottle contained a High-grade Heaven Grade Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill. It was a type of Pill that enhanced Bone Structure, similar to the Nirvana Treasure Pill, and among the finest Heaven Grade Bone Structure pills. It could even allow a High-grade Earth Grade Bone Structure to break through into a Heavenly Bone Structure, making it one of the most supreme Treasure Pills below Sacred pills. Unfortunately, such a large Jade Bottle contained only one Pill.
You quickly looked at the next bottle and found that you did not recognize it. You set it aside for the time being and examined the third bottle. Upon opening it, you recognized the pills, as they were among the more common Heaven Grade Pills. The Jade Bottle contained three of them, all Mid-grade Heaven Grade. They were mainly used to break through cultivation bottlenecks and were called Void God Treasure Pills. As the name implied, they could allow a Late Heavenly Origin Realm martial artist to directly break through into the Void God Realm.
Such pills were not very useful to those with powerful cultivation, but many Great Powers were willing to refine or purchase them for family and friends. Thus, their prices were relatively transparent. No one sold such pills in Jiancheng, but they could be bought at the large auctions held once every few centuries at the Auction House in the National Capital of Jiang State. Though their price was not considered high among Heaven Grade Pills, they were still immensely valuable.
You resealed the three Void God Pills in the Jade Bottle, then opened the next bottle. The moment you saw the pills inside, your eyes lit up. They were actually three Low-grade Heaven Grade Beauty and Youth Preserving Pills. Although they were only Low-grade Heaven Grade, they were worth far more than Void God Treasure Pills. They were the favorites of many female Martial Artists, and their prices were inflated. Whenever one appeared at an Auction House, it would spark a fierce scramble among countless Female Cultivators and sell for a high price.
For Martial Artists, if they broke through their realms early enough, their appearance would usually not change much. But that only meant there would be no major changes. As the years flowed by, some minor changes remained beyond the body's control. Though those changes were extremely slight, many Female Cultivators could not accept them. Beauty and Youth Preserving Pills could prevent this from happening, and after taking one, a person's appearance could even become more youthful and beautiful.
The three Beauty and Youth Preserving Pills in your hand could be given one each to your mother, wife, and daughter.
Before long, you looked at the remaining three bottles of Heaven Grade Pills. Aside from the Low-grade Heaven Grade Azure Nether Longevity Pill, you did not recognize the other two bottles. You placed them together with the earlier bottle, intending to show all three to Zhang Tianhuo later.
The Azure Nether Longevity Pill had an exceedingly domineering effect. After taking it, one could increase their lifespan by eight thousand years! One had to know that even an Infant God Realm martial artist only had a lifespan of eighteen thousand years. If one could take this Pill, their lifespan would reach a terrifying twenty-six thousand years. Over twenty thousand years could witness how many changes of the mortal world? It could already be called the lifespan of a long-lived species.
