Chapter 7

After seeing everyone off, Qin Feng did not immediately mention to Qin Yuyan that Han Qingxue wanted to take her away from the Qin family. Instead, he instructed his sister to check the surroundings to make sure no one was nearby, then locked the door and stared blankly at the silver-white ring in front of him.

The contents of this ring were what his father had risked his life to obtain for him.

Moreover, this time, it was a grand gesture.

Without mentioning anything else, just the ring in front of him was an extraordinary treasure.

The ring was covered in intricate patterns, but these were not ordinary carvings; they were mysterious symbols. According to Aunt Xue, this item was obtained from the remains of an ancient cultivator. The surface of the storage ring was engraved with a miniature illusionary array, which made the ring invisible when worn.

It was a very magical and practical function, at least there was no need to worry about thieves.

Just the storage ring alone was so powerful, and Qin Feng became even more eager to see what was inside the ring.

"Rustle!"

Qin Feng poured everything from the ring onto the table.

The two of them crouched by the table, wide-eyed.

There were quite a few items: a jade disc, a jade slip, a fiery red bead, and over a dozen translucent stones that shimmered with strange light.

Qin Feng had already seen the jade disc, which contained an image imprint left by his father. In the cultivation world, this was an object used to verify identity and convey important information, where one's soul imprint could be engraved using special methods, making it impossible to fake.

Through the information in the jade disc, Qin Feng learned that the jade slip in his hand was a cultivation technique called "Tai E Forging Spirit."

This "Tai E Forging Spirit" was an ancient cultivation technique specifically used to train the soul and spiritual sense. It was originally in a very damaged state, but his father had transcribed it into the jade slip and given it to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng picked up the jade slip and pressed it to his forehead.

The moment his mind probed in, a large amount of information, carrying an ancient aura, flooded into Qin Feng's mind. Immediately, four large characters floated in his mind.

Tai E Forging Spirit!

Each character was like a masterpiece, ancient, rugged, and powerful!

The four characters lingered for a short while before slowly disappearing. Then, the true content of the technique gradually appeared. Qin Feng's expression turned serious, and he quickly focused all his attention to memorize the content of the technique.

The reason was simple: even with this high-quality jade slip, it could only transmit the technique twice at most. It was necessary to record the content completely during the first two transmissions, otherwise, the imprint would fade, and the technique would have errors.

Fortunately, although Qin Feng's body was somewhat weak, his mind was exceptionally sharp. He memorized all the content in one go.

This "Tai E Forging Spirit" technique could only be considered an auxiliary technique, with no restrictions on cultivation. The content was divided into nine sections, with each three sections representing a major leap. However, what he had obtained was only a partial version, containing only the first six sections.

Qin Feng could roughly guess his father's intention in giving him this technique. The strange illness in his body mainly eroded the willpower. This technique's purpose was to strengthen the soul. As long as his own soul was strong enough, he would not fear the erosion of the illness.

It seemed his father had truly put a lot of thought into it for him.

Of course, in addition to this technique, his father had also found a treasure that could temporarily solve Qin Feng's cultivation problem, which was the bead in front of him.

Nine Devouring Heavenly Fire Bead!

This bead was a very special treasure. It was very hard, made of an unknown material, and was extremely peculiar. On its crimson surface, there were nine beautiful fire clouds. However, only one of the fire clouds had color, while the others were gray.

The colored fire cloud was fiery red.

According to his father, this mysterious bead was discovered on the remains of a mysterious cultivator during an exploration of an ancient legacy site. At that time, the Nine Devouring Heavenly Fire Bead was in the mouth of the remains. Based on his father's research, this treasure's full power in its prime was formidable, but unfortunately, it had suffered some fatal damage, reverting to its most primitive form. The flames it contained had dissipated, leaving only one bead of fire.

Moreover, the power of this bead of fire was greatly reduced.

As for how to restore the treasure's power, that was unknown.

But according to his father's guess, it was likely related to fire.

However, these things were not important to Qin Feng at this stage. What was important was that the remaining bead of fire could help Qin Feng continue his cultivation.

As for the crystals emitting strange light, as a direct descendant of the Qin family, a major cultivation family, Qin Feng had heard of them before. Although he had never seen such large ones, he had seen a small one the size of a pinky finger.

These were Mystic Stones! And they were medium-grade Mystic Stones, a total of sixteen!

Mystic Stones had been the universal currency in the Qingxuan world for countless years, but their function was not just as currency. They were also essential for cultivators' cultivation.

This kind of thing was incredibly important to every cultivator.

It was well-known that absorbing the Mystic Qi from the surrounding environment through cultivation was very slow. Apart from some pills, gathering arrays, or special techniques that could increase the absorption rate of Mystic Qi, the only other method was to use Mystic Stones, which was the most direct and effective way.

However, this method was also the most luxurious, as the Mystic Qi contained within Mystic Stones was not only abundant but also the purest form of Mystic Qi, essentially the essence of Mystic Qi. Mystic Stones usually formed in places where Mystic Qi was exceptionally dense.

The things his father had brought him this time were like a snowfall in a drought.

Because in all his life, he had only seen a small piece of low-grade Mystic Stone, and owning medium-grade Mystic Stones was something he had never dared to dream of.

Qin Feng's eyes were slightly moist, and Qin Yuyan was also stunned.

The little girl was also very intelligent and naturally understood how important these things were to Qin Feng.

Perhaps, the entire Qin family in Luoyang Town might not be able to produce so many things at once.

Sighing lightly, Qin Feng came back to his senses.

He handed the "Tai E Forging Spirit" jade slip to Qin Yuyan.

This technique had no restrictions on cultivation. Qin Feng skimmed through it briefly; the content was abstruse and difficult to understand. Cultivating this technique required not only talent but also luck. Fortunately, the jade slip's capacity was decent, and it should be able to transmit the technique one more time.

Of course, good things should be shared between siblings.

Qin Yuyan did not say anything. Too many things had happened today, and both of them were somewhat numb. She nodded at Qin Feng, took the jade slip, and placed it on her forehead.

Seeing Qin Yuyan enter the transmission of the technique, Qin Feng picked up the Nine Devouring Heavenly Fire Bead from the table. After staring at the bead for a while, he followed his father's instructions and dripped a drop of blood onto the bead. Watching the blood gradually seep in, Qin Feng used the limited Mystic Qi he had to refine it.

To fully make this thing his own, it would take a long time to nurture it and thoroughly imprint his own spiritual mark. This was a long-term plan, and Qin Feng was not in a hurry.

For now—

He only needed to refine it simply, add his own mark, and then he could use the Nine Devouring Fire contained within the bead...
