Qin Niu finished looting the spoils, feeling fairly satisfied.

But it wasn’t as substantial as he had imagined.

As his strength and wealth surged, ordinary treasures hardly caught his eye anymore.

He longed for elixirs and treasures that could help him quickly step into the Immortal Gate.

The elixirs he looted were all rather common ones.

There were none of the advanced elixirs like the Boundary-breaking Elixir.

Qi Refining Elixirs were considered advanced elixirs, but one had to reach the Spirit Qi Realm to consume them, which he couldn’t use at the moment.

Moreover, this elixir was meant for daily cultivation.

It was of the same nature as the Tempering Elixir used in the Mortal Realm, belonging to the ordinary elixirs that improved cultivation level.

Having looted the property, he began to consider how to deal with the corpse.

Using it to feed the insects seemed like the obvious choice.

Currently, among all the insects, only Termite had the capability to consume the corpse in a short time.

But such an act was against the natural order.

Humans were the sovereigns of the world, the spirit of all living things; even nibbling on a corpse could attract great trouble.

Termite had always been his most important insect, and in the future, he might even cultivate it as his core insect. He was indecisive about whether to let them incur such karma.

However, to simply bury the body of such a powerful Spirit Qi Realm practitioner seemed a waste.

After much thought, he decided to give the corpse of Elder Jiu Yin proper disposal.

Throwing the body into the maze surrounding the Ancient Banyan Tree, allowing the corpse to become nourishment for the tree, might be the best way to handle it.

Although the corpse was tempting as food for the insects, the consequences of doing so were very serious.

Qin Niu valued long-term development more than immediate gains.

As he dragged the body, he noticed that the boots on Elder Jiu Yin’s feet were exceptionally thick.

This old thief, extremely sly and cunning with deep schemes, could there be treasures hidden inside his boots?

Qin Niu instinctively took off the boots from the corpse to check.

Sure enough, he discovered something.

The left boot felt thicker, and upon close inspection, he found a very concealed compartment.

It could be opened directly.

He pulled out a flat brocade bag from inside.

The workmanship of this brocade bag was exquisite.

Upon opening it, there was a jade slip inside, along with a tiny glass tube.

The tube, only four millimeters in diameter, looked more like a lidded ‘bottle.’ It was only about three centimeters long.

It had a lid and even a threaded structure that could be screwed on tightly.

Inside this miniature glass vial were more than a dozen brown insect eggs.

Considering Elder Jiu Yin went to great lengths to hide them within the boot’s compartment, these eggs must be extremely precious.

To find out what these eggs were for, one simply needed to examine the contents of the jade slip.

Qin Niu had once acquired a jade slip.

It contained methods and uses for cultivating the Green Silk Worm.

This jade slip seemed even older and more sophisticated.

Jade slips came in a variety of types.

The simplest were inscribed with characters that could be directly read with the naked eye.

This type was the most common.

There were also more advanced jade slips, which appeared dull and gray, with not a single character visible. But when held in hand, one could feel their extraordinariness.

They contained a faint trace of spirit power.

Ordinary people might not sense this trace of spirit power, but holding it in hand felt cool and comfortable.

This type of jade slip is known in the cultivation world as an Immortal Scroll.

It is made from a kind of jade that contains Spirit Qi, so it is quite valuable.

It is much more expensive than ordinary jade.

In fact, all jade is the essence of the earth and sky, containing a trace of the world’s Spirit Qi.

But there are strong and weak ones.

Good jade, with Spirit Qi sealed inside, won’t lose it for ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand years.

Ordinary mortal jade starts to lose its contained Spirit Qi from the moment it is mined.

Until it is depleted.

The kind of jade that can seal Spirit Qi inside is called Spirit Jade.

The cultivation world also refers to it as Spirit Stone.

This type of jade is extremely rare, and even a small piece appearing in the Mortal Realm could incite bloody battles among various powers.

Usually, at the center of a jade mine, there will be a jade core.

It is essentially the heart of the entire jade mine.

Radiating outwards from this central point, it forms a vein of jade ore.

This is because jade is formed over countless years, nourished by the Spirit Qi of the land.

And Spirit Qi underground typically flows like rivers, which is why jade mines often have a long, strip-like shape.

The location of the jade core is typically also the site of a Spirit Qi spring.

In the Mortal Realm, when powerful families mine jade ore, they might hit a stroke of immense luck and find a source of Spirit Qi that has not entirely dried up. Then, faint traces of Spirit Qi would emerge from the spring.

If a family encounters such good fortune and can keep the news secret, in less than a century, they would become the most powerful clan locally.

Because they can establish a hidden cultivation site above the Spirit Qi source for their clan members to cultivate in.

Cultivating in such an environment rich in Spirit Qi accelerates progress, often by several or even more than ten times compared to the outside world.

This is precisely why Qin Niu, upon discovering that cultivating under the Ancient Banyan Tree was twenty times more effective than the outside world, refused to divulge this secret.

He didn’t even allow Wang Wanyan or Tang Caixian to cultivate there.

He was well aware that once the secret was out, not just the powerful families of the Black Tiger Gang and the Gang Leader, but even Immortal Masters from the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect might make a move to snatch it.

In that case, he, a minor character, would be crushed outright.

He examined the Immortal Scroll in his hands carefully, unable to put it down.

Those who use ordinary jade slips for recording are considered craftsmen.

Those capable of recording with an Immortal Scroll are at least at the Immortal Master level. Ordinary people couldn’t even dream of using Immortal Scrolls for recording.

This is a very advanced method of record-keeping.

An Immortal Scroll, even after thousands or tens of thousands of years, will not undergo any changes. The content recorded inside will never become unclear or disappear.

Cultivation Techniques, Immortal Techniques, and so on from the Immortal Sects are all recorded on Immortal Scrolls.

His heart pounded.

To say he wasn’t excited would be a lie. If it recorded the Cultivation Techniques and Spells of the Immortal Sect, and he learned them, the benefits would be endless.

To access the content of an ordinary jade slip, one just needs to focus and read the inscriptions on the surface.

To obtain the content inside an Immortal Scroll, however, requires the use of one’s consciousness to read it.

Fortunately, he had seen related records in a book, and now, holding the Immortal Scroll against his forehead, he tried to access its contents.

As his spiritual power entered the Immortal Scroll, the information flooded his brain like a tide.

It was much more efficient than reading with the eyes.

In an instant, he had grasped all the content recorded inside the Immortal Scroll.

And it was directly imprinted in his brain.

This experience was particularly extraordinary.

“So this is the legendary method of accessing an Immortal Scroll with divine consciousness,” he mused with a wry smile, feeling enlightened.
