Having completed his breakthrough, Li Su did not linger. Right beneath the noses of disciples from a host of top sects, he departed without a sound.
Heavenly Lotus had also given him the lotus dais he had used to break through the Nine Tribulations Scripture. It still contained a considerable amount of vitality, which could help Li Su's physical body grow.
Moreover, Heavenly Lotus told him that the lotus dais itself was a rare artifact. If he refined it through his primordial spirit, it could prove useful when he ascended to immortality in the future.

So-called rare arts were the most supreme cultivation techniques: ancient immortal arts.
Rare artifacts were things like Heavenly Lotus's lotus dais—divine objects fixed in form through the passage of countless years, connected to immortals, perhaps even originating from them.
Rare spirits were exceptionally special living beings. For instance, after ancient true dragons, phoenixes, and other divine beasts or great demons died, the spiritual radiance within their corpses would fade away, giving rise to new souls. Those were spirit beasts.
