Chapter 89
Before him and Xiao Li, a spacious and grand cave chamber suddenly appeared.
The walls and floor of the chamber had a jade-like texture, with complex and ancient mysterious runes carved into them, giving off an air of deep mystery.
In the center of the chamber stood a massive stone platform.
A crystal-clear stalactite hung from above, its pointed tip aimed directly at the center of the stone platform.
Lu Qing was astounded by the almost entirely jade-like cave chamber before him.
He never imagined that such a peculiar place existed within the belly of the mountain.
Unexpectedly, there was no danger. The end of the cave revealed this unimaginable jadeized chamber.
Even Xiao Li was a bit dumbfounded.It hadn’t anticipated that the place it had been longing for would turn out to be such a sparkling spot.
Standing outside the jadeized chamber, Lu Qing did not immediately step in.
Upon reaching this place, the clarity in his mind grew stronger, and his caution intensified.
This chamber was too unusual to be naturally formed.
Since it was man-made, there could very well be some protective measures.
Although he didn’t sense any danger now, he didn’t want to rush in recklessly.
To his surprise, Xiao Li suddenly leapt from his shoulder, dashing towards the chamber.
"Wait, Xiao Li!"
Lu Qing shouted in alarm.
To his further astonishment, as Xiao Li was about to enter the chamber, a faint light screen appeared, intending to block Xiao Li.
Just when Lu Qing thought Xiao Li would be hurt, a black flash suddenly struck, and the light screen was effortlessly torn apart, vanishing like a punctured bubble.
"Hmm?"
Seeing Xiao Li safely land inside the chamber, Lu Qing\'s mouth opened in disbelief.
He had assumed that the defenses of this miraculous jadeized chamber would be formidable, yet they were so easily broken by Xiao Li.
"Yowl?"
Xiao Li stood inside the chamber, looking back at Lu Qing in confusion.
It didn’t understand why he had shouted.
"...It\'s fine now."
Seeing Xiao Li inside for a while with no other incidents, Lu Qing realized he had been overly cautious.
As a spirit beast, Xiao Li\'s sense of danger far surpassed his own. Since it felt no danger, it should be safe.
Lu Qing tentatively stepped into the chamber. Whether the light screen could regenerate or not, he passed through smoothly without any hindrance.
Upon fully entering the chamber, the clarity in his mind increased significantly, as if a layer of dust had been wiped away, making him feel at ease.
His thoughts flowed much faster, and Lu Qing\'s eyes sparkled with wonder.
Even if there were no other treasures, the clarity nurtured by this chamber was a significant gain.
He had a feeling that cultivating here would greatly benefit him.
Putting aside thoughts of cultivation for later, Lu Qing\'s curiosity about the chamber’s contents took precedence.
Xiao Li, already eager, tugged him towards the central stone platform.
Following Xiao Li\'s lead, Lu Qing approached the platform.
The platform was half a person\'s height and, like the surrounding walls and floor, almost entirely jadeized.
Intricate patterns adorned the platform.
At the center, there was a round depression filled with a liquid resembling white jade.
Seeing the liquid, Lu Qing looked up at the hanging stalactite above, guessing that the liquid must have dripped from it.
He focused on the liquid on the platform.
After a while, a faint golden glow emanated from the white jade-like liquid.
[Earth Vein Spiritual Liquid: Rare treasure liquid, non-toxic, consumable.]
[This spiritual liquid is a rare treasure, capable of reviving the dead, healing bones and flesh, prolonging life. Consumed by humans or beasts, it can improve aptitude, enhance potential, and defy fate.]
[Legend has it that those with magical power can inscribe formations according to the terrain, refining the earth\'s essence to form this treasure liquid.]
[Earth Vein Spiritual Liquid can be consumed directly or used in pill concoction, with endless wondrous uses.]
"Golden light?!"
Lu Qing was stunned upon seeing the golden glow from the liquid.
This was his first time seeing an item emitting such golden light.
Even Xiao Li, as a magical spirit beast, only emitted a red glow in his eyes.
Reading the information from his ability left him completely stunned.
Reviving the dead, healing bones and flesh!
Prolonging life!
Improving aptitude, enhancing potential, defying fate!
Each term alone would make an item a coveted treasure.
Yet now, they were all used to describe the white jade-like liquid on the platform.
This clearly indicated how precious the Earth Vein Spiritual Liquid was!
Lu Qing\'s gaze towards the liquid grew fervent.
Such a liquid was a true rare treasure, dwarfing the likes of ginseng and Tian Qi in comparison.
After a long while, Lu Qing\'s excitement subsided somewhat.
He stopped Xiao Li from trying to scoop the liquid.
Such a treasure couldn’t be used carelessly. Wasting even a drop would be a huge loss, enough to cause heartache.
Taking deep breaths to calm himself, Lu Qing shifted his thoughts away from the Earth Vein Spiritual Liquid for now.
He noted an important piece of information from the ability\'s analysis.
Someone with magical power!
This chamber was created by someone with magical power.
What kind of person could possess such power?
Was it the mysterious Grandmaster that his master mentioned, or someone of even higher status?
Lu Qing\'s heart was filled with excitement.
Regardless, this indicated that the upper limits of cultivation in this world were far beyond his imagination.
For him, this was very promising news.
After contemplating for a while, Lu Qing began to inspect the chamber.
Since this place was deliberately arranged by someone with magical power, it might contain more than just this chamber.
Indeed, after some searching, Lu Qing discovered a secret mechanism on one side of the chamber.
[Secret Door: A deliberately constructed stone door, leading to another hidden space.]
[This secret door has no mechanisms; simply push it open with force.]
Seeing no mechanisms, Lu Qing immediately stood before the door, mustering his blood qi to push it open.
The secret door, made of jade-like stone, was quite heavy.
Fortunately, Lu Qing managed to push it open with some effort.
As he gradually exerted force, the secret door slowly opened.
