Harvesting Relics

The Universe Bag is crafted from high-grade spiritual material known as Universe Wood and fashioned by legendary Rune Masters. Though the bag itself is small, it possesses a vast internal storage space.

However, Lin Yiqing had only heard of such things before and had never actually seen one.

Considering this possibility, he hurried forward and removed the palm-sized cyan cloth bag from the skeleton's waist.

Holding it in his hand, he felt it was as light as nothing. He gently tugged at the golden drawstring at the mouth of the bag, only to find it wouldn't budge at all.

After a moment of thought, he attempted to channel his internal Origin Energy, slowly feeding a sliver of it into the bag.

"Heh, Cousin Lin Yun, don't overthink it. The master of this cave dwelling truly left behind quite a few benefits; we just almost missed them due to our own lack of observation."

Inside this cyan bag, there was indeed a small space, and neatly arranged within were hundreds of fiery-red pills.

Each of these pills was round and plump, and beneath that fiery-red exterior, they seemed to contain an extremely potent energy.

Beyond these, there were three books, which were likely the martial arts manuals the master of the cave dwelling had practiced.

"Could these be Yang Yuan Pills!"

Lin Yiqing's pupils constricted sharply, and an irrepressible sense of joy surged into his heart.

"Cousin Lin Yun, it seems the master of this cave dwelling was undoubtedly a Heaven Origin Realm expert during his lifetime!"

Steadying his mind, Lin Yiqing spoke to Lin Yun. He hadn't expected to reap such a massive harvest from this trip!

"A Heaven Origin Realm expert?!"

Lin Yun gasped, his breath hitching. Upon hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, followed by a look of wild joy as he asked in shock.

Initially, he had only assumed the master of this cave dwelling was likely in the Earth Origin Realm, but he hadn't expected Lin Yiqing to tell him now that the master was suspected to be a Heaven Origin Realm expert.

"Mm, this is a low-grade Universe Bag, containing a space the size of a cupboard. It is very convenient for carrying items. Inside are stored hundreds of Origin Sun Pills and several manuals; ordinary Earth Origin Realm cultivators wouldn't have such wealth."

Lin Yiqing was quite excited. Originally, he had thought the master of this cave dwelling had only left behind a spear, but he hadn't expected such a pleasant turn of events.

"Yang Yuan Pills."

"Third-grade martial art, Mountain-Crushing Wave-Breaking Spear."

"Mental cultivation technique, Spirit Refining Chapter."

"Third-rate cultivation technique, Lesser Red Sun Scripture."

Seeing these, the two could not help but feel their hearts racing. The harvest this time truly exceeded their imagination; the legacy of this Heaven Origin Realm expert could be called extremely bountiful.

"Cousin Yiqing, since I have obtained the senior's blood spear, why don't you give me this spear technique manual and half of the Yang Yuan Pills? We can study the cultivation technique together, and all other items will belong to you, how about that?"

Lin Yun looked at Lin Yiqing with anticipation. A third-grade martial art was something even the entire Lin Family possessed very few of, and that third-rate cultivation technique was something unheard of—the Lin Family might not even possess one.

"That is certainly acceptable."

Lin Yiqing smiled lightly. He was very satisfied with this distribution; the convenience of the Universe Bag went without saying—it was an essential product for home and travel.

The key was the mental cultivation technique; with it, once his cultivation reached a higher level, he could attempt to cultivate his spiritual power.

As for that third-rate cultivation technique, it solved his current dilemma. Once he reached the Earth Origin Realm, the cultivation technique would become extremely important.

Given the current situation of the Lin Family, the probability of him being able to cultivate the Green Origin Technique was effectively zero.

After speaking, Lin Yiqing and Lin Yun respectfully bowed to the remains of the Heaven Origin Realm expert before slowly retreating from the inner chamber. After all, having accepted the other's legacy, it was only right and proper to show some respect.

When accepting someone's legacy, one should always hold a heart of awe and gratitude.

Pressing the lion's head to close the stone door of the inner chamber once more, the two turned to process the materials on the Green Water Snake.

In Qingyang Town, the materials from demonic beasts were also very precious; the fangs, snake skin, and tendons all held significant value.

Afterward, the two returned the way they came and hurried away.

"Everyone, stay alert. We are about to enter that beast's territory. We failed to kill it last time, but this time we must skin it and pull its tendons to satisfy the hatred in my heart."

Not long after Lin Yiqing and his companion left, a dozen people arrived at the location.

The group held large blades and long spears, fully armed. One of them was extremely tall with a rugged face, his brows revealing a hint of ferocity, his eyes glinting with a murderous light, making him appear quite sinister.

It seemed this man was the leader of the group, and he was currently ordering his subordinates as they began to slowly enter the cave.

Half a day later.

Curses echoed from within the cave dwelling, but Lin Yiqing and his companion were unaware of all this.

Several days later, in the dense forest behind the Lin Family estate.

A figure moved rapidly, creating streaks of fist shadows. Though the stance was youthful, the intent behind the fists was domineering and unparalleled.

Through-Back Fist and Roaming Body Steps transitioned freely between one another with great agility; clearly, these two martial arts had already been mastered.

"Hah!"

Lin Yiqing threw a punch at a tall, ancient tree beside him. A faint white light was vaguely visible on his fist, and immediately, wood chips flew as a pit the size of a washbasin appeared on the tree trunk. Such damage was truly terrifying.

"Hiss, is this the power of Origin Energy? It's truly strong!"

Upon entering the sixth stage of the Body Tempering Realm and giving birth to Origin Energy within his body, a cultivator could simply channel that energy to attack. This level of damage was a world of difference compared to the fifth stage of the Body Tempering Realm.

Having stepped into the sixth stage of the Body Tempering Realm, the effectiveness of Lin Yiqing's Body Tempering Pills began to decline slightly. He planned to find a safe place to sell the remaining pills before researching other types.

However, what was surprising was that as time passed, he could feel that ever since the seed of Origin Energy had sprouted in his bone marrow, his cultivation progress had actually begun to accelerate.

The surrounding Heaven and Earth Origin Power seemed to favor him exceptionally, not only gathering spontaneously around him to nourish his body but also resonating with the Origin Power seed within his bone marrow.

At this rate, the opportunity to break through to the seventh stage of the Body Tempering Realm should arrive very soon.

Lin Yiqing couldn't help but think of his cheat; the Origin Qi Vision he had used before seemed to be merely a faint application of its abilities, and more of its wonders were only just beginning to reveal themselves.

When he was younger, he would often see a hazy orb of light in his dreams expounding the ultimate truths of the universe, though he had not the slightest recollection of the specific content.

Only in those dreams, when that orb of light separated the clear from the turbid and distinguished yin from yang, could he feel its immense, overwhelming power!

Pulling his thoughts back, Lin Yiqing turned to look outside the training grounds, where a figure clad in gray was gradually approaching.

"Cousin Yiqing, let's head out."

Not far away, Lin Yun looked at Lin Yiqing with a smile as he spoke.

Since returning from the mysterious Heaven Origin Realm expert's abandoned cave dwelling, the two had agreed to go to Qingyang Town today to dispose of the beast materials and purchase some supplies.

It was also a chance to show Lin Yiqing around; he had been so focused on cultivation that he had only ever heard of such places from others, knowing only that they were bustling and prosperous.
