Jade Slip Inheritance

"Enough! That's enough!" Liang Zhaohuang said hastily.

"Seventeenth Brother!" At that moment, his eldest brother, Liang Zhaojun, looked at him with a grave expression and said in a deep voice, "Promise me, you must protect this foundation our Liang Family has built!"

Liang Zhaohuang's expression was just as solemn. He nodded and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Big Brother. As long as I'm here, no one can touch the Liang Family."

"Haha! Seventeenth Brother, I believe you!" As he spoke, Liang Zhaojun took a Storage Bag from his sleeve and handed it over. "Seventeenth Brother, all the jade slips you wanted are inside. I won't waste any more of your time. Master your methods as quickly as possible, and cut down every last person who dares trespass against our Liang Family!"

"Good!" Liang Zhaohuang looked equally brimming with confidence. He took the Storage Bag, removed the jade slips inside, then handed the Storage Bag back.

But his eldest brother, Liang Zhaojun, waved his hand and said, "Seventeenth Brother, keep this Storage Bag and use it."

"How can that be?" Liang Zhaohuang shook his head. "Neither the clan leader nor you have a Storage Bag."

The Liang Family now had only two Storage Bags. One was kept in the family's secret grounds, holding the family's true reserves and trump cards; this was the only Storage Bag that could be used in ordinary times.

But his eldest brother, Liang Zhaojun, shook his head and said, "Seventeenth Brother, you are already a Foundation Establishment cultivator. How can you not even have a Storage Bag?"

"When you interact with those Foundation Establishment cultivators from the county's great local families, won't they laugh at you? Worse, they'll laugh at our Liang Family!"

"This..." Liang Zhaohuang was still somewhat hesitant.

Liang Zhaojun said directly, "Seventeenth Brother, there's no need to hesitate. With your current status as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, you'll have plenty of chances to obtain Storage Bags in the future. As long as we survive this calamity, our Liang Family won't lack Storage Bags!"

Hearing him say this, Liang Zhaohuang no longer declined. He put the Storage Bag away and promised, "All right. When the time comes, I'll make sure the clan leader and you each have a Storage Bag."

"Haha..." Liang Zhaojun laughed heartily and said, "Then I'll be waiting for your good news."

His eldest brother, Liang Zhaojun, left. Time was pressing, and he did not delay Liang Zhaohuang any further.

Liang Zhaohuang returned to his residence, took out the four jade slips, and sent his Spiritual Sense into them one by one to examine them.

One was a cultivation-method jade slip. Recorded inside was the complete version of the Five Qi Lotus Scripture. Just as they had previously guessed, this was a cultivation method containing a Golden Core Realm inheritance.

To the Liang Family, this was undoubtedly tremendous good news. Not only did it represent the potential of the Five Qi Lotus Scripture, but it also meant that later on, they would not have to rack their brains and exhaust their efforts to seek out a Golden Core Realm inheritance.

Liang Zhaohuang swiftly skimmed through the entire cultivation method. Discovering that the records regarding the Foundation Establishment Realm were no different from those on the gold foil, he temporarily set the cultivation-method jade slip aside.

The second jade slip, unexpectedly, contained a complete "spirit chef" inheritance.

In this cultivation world, there were all kinds of craft inheritances. The most famous were none other than the four arts of alchemy, artifact refinement, talismans, and formations. Aside from these, there were also some common crafts, such as spirit planting, spirit brewing, spirit cooking, and so on.

Spirit planting specialized in growing Spirit Rice, spirit fruits, spirit roots, and the like. Basically, every cultivation family, even cold-door families, would train some people in it.

Spirit brewing was the brewing of all kinds of spirit wines, while spirit cooking was the making of all sorts of spirit meals.

Liang Zhaohuang had not expected that among the inheritances left behind by the predecessor, there would actually be a complete set of "spirit chef" inheritance.

"Could it be that, when that Golden Core predecessor was alive, he was also a spirit chef?"

After hurriedly skimming through the "spirit chef" inheritance in the jade slip, Liang Zhaohuang was somewhat interested, but now was clearly not the time to waste on studying these things. He could only set the jade slip aside for the moment.

He picked up the third jade slip and sent his Spiritual Sense into it. Upon seeing its contents, Liang Zhaohuang's interest was immediately piqued.

This jade slip should have been the predecessor's daily cultivation "journal." The contents recorded inside were extremely numerous and exceedingly miscellaneous, without the slightest system to them, but within were the most detailed cultivation experiences—especially experiences in cultivating the Five Qi Lotus Scripture.

Apart from that, there were also all kinds of things he had seen and heard, his understanding of the road of cultivation, and so forth.

It could be said that this was a "treasure vault of experience"!

The only troublesome thing was that it would take time to slowly sort out the useful experiences within before they could be turned into something useful.

Undoubtedly, this too could only be set aside for the time being. Liang Zhaohuang had no time right now to organize these experiences.

However, during his hurried browsing, he suddenly noticed one particular record.

It said that for the Foundation Establishment Realm to break through to the Golden Core Realm, there were five gates, among which were the three gates of essence, qi, and spirit. In the record, the predecessor sighed that he had not found a suitable life-cultivation method, and could only use spirit meals to nourish his essence and blood, barely fulfilling the conditions of the "essence gate." As a result, the Golden Core he formed was only middle grade, and his road ahead held no hope.

From this passage, Liang Zhaohuang understood at least two things.

First was the origin of that set of "spirit chef" inheritance. Clearly, the predecessor had taught himself "spirit cooking" in order to make all kinds of spirit meals to nourish his essence and blood.

The second was that he had learned of the existence of "life-cultivation methods." Clearly, this type of cultivation method was related to a cultivator forming the core, and even to the subsequent path of cultivation.

It seemed that in the future, he would need to pay attention to information about "life-cultivation methods"!

Liang Zhaohuang's ambitions were lofty; he would not be satisfied with merely the Foundation Establishment Realm.

He set down this "journal" jade slip. After surviving this calamity, he would definitely have to set aside time to properly study the "journal" in this jade slip. The ruts left by the cart ahead were lessons for the cart behind; the cultivation experiences left behind by the predecessor were undoubtedly the most important guiding beacon for a cultivator like Liang Zhaohuang, who had no master to guide him and had to grope his way forward alone.

He picked up the fourth jade slip and sent his Spiritual Sense into it to examine it. Liang Zhaohuang finally let out a breath of relief.

This jade slip finally recorded some spiritual arts.

In truth, it was not only spiritual arts. Spells, spiritual arts, and divine abilities were all recorded, as were methods for refining some magic tools, spiritual tools, and magic treasures, along with some records of talismans, pills, formations, and so on of various grades.

It could be seen that the contents recorded here should all have been collected by the predecessor back then. They were likewise disorderly and unsystematic, and they were not limited to the five elements; there were also bits and pieces of other attributes such as wind, lightning, ice, poison, yin and yang, and so on.

Though disorderly and lacking any system, to Liang Zhaohuang, and to a bottom-level family like the Liang Family that had only just started out, they were undoubtedly priceless treasures!

Liang Zhaohuang swiftly browsed through the contents inside. Time was limited. Even if he learned those inheritances of alchemy, artifact refinement, talismans, and formations, he would have no time to prepare them. His attention was focused entirely on the spell-type inheritances.

In this jade slip, the spell-type inheritances were divided into three levels: spells of the Qi Refining Realm, spiritual arts of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and divine abilities of the Golden Core Realm.

For Foundation Establishment cultivators, spells were nothing more than parlor tricks. Their power was insufficient, they had no spirituality, and they could be broken with a casual gesture. It was fine to cultivate one or two in spare moments for the convenience of daily life, but there was no need to waste time or energy on them.

As for divine abilities, they were something only Golden Core cultivators could cultivate. Looking at them now was useless.

Liang Zhaohuang focused all his attention on the spiritual arts recorded in the jade slip.
