Chapter 76

Previously, Ma Dao had brought Hua Xia Jiu from You Ming Mountain to Luo You Valley in less than a quarter of an hour, but now Hua Xia Jiu took a full half an hour to return to You Ming Mountain.

Hua Xia Jiu entered the You Ming Gate and directly went to the area where the Out-of-Body Realm caves were located, starting to search for an unoccupied cave, carefully selecting one.

There were not many people on You Ming Mountain, and most of them usually stayed in their caves for meditation and cultivation. Therefore, Hua Xia Jiu hardly encountered anyone on his way.

There were quite a few unoccupied caves here, over a hundred in total. Hua Xia Jiu's soul consciousness spread out, and he chose a cave with a relatively dense spiritual energy and a very quiet environment.

Looking around, this cave seemed to have few neighbors, with the nearest cave several miles away. The stone door of that cave was tightly closed, and the entrance was covered with withered branches and fallen leaves, indicating that it was also unoccupied.

The area around the cave Hua Xia Jiu chose was a dense forest with many ancient trees and old vines, looking lush and verdant. In front of the cave, apart from a mountain path covered with dense vegetation, there was a slope covered with green grass, like a green carpet, sloping downward.

At the bottom of the slope, a small stream flowed, and the sound of water could be heard from upstream. Hua Xia Jiu looked around and saw white water splashing, and a small waterfall hidden behind the dense trees, making the place seem very cool and quiet.

Hua Xia Jiu surveyed the surroundings of the cave. A thick layer of fallen leaves, carrying a faint scent of decay characteristic of the valley and forest, made a soft sound under his feet.

After wandering around, Hua Xia Jiu took out a black jade token with his right hand, and a thread of soul consciousness spread out from it.

In the next moment, a fist-sized black light shot out from the black jade token, striking the stone door.

Buzz——

After a moment, a low sound came from behind the stone door, and the two stone doors slowly opened.

The inner disciples' caves of the Zi You Sect were all uniformly excavated and constructed by the sect. The specifications were the same for the same realm, with the only difference being the location.

Generally, once a sect disciple was assigned a cave, they would live there for a long time, unless they had made great contributions, in which case they would not be reassigned. Bai Xiangzhu's cave was specially built by the sect after she had made great contributions, and it was much larger than the ordinary Out-of-Body Realm disciples' caves, even equipped with a small spirit-gathering array.

The cave Hua Xia Jiu chose had two main areas: the outer courtyard and the inner cave. The outer courtyard was a courtyard about an acre in size, consisting of a pavilion and a spirit field. The pavilion was generally used for receiving guests, while the spirit field was used for growing spirit herbs.

The inner cave was a cave excavated into the mountain, used for cultivation, meditation, and seclusion.

The entire cave had two stone doors: one for the outer courtyard and one for the inner cave. Each stone door had special protective restrictions, especially the second stone door, which was difficult to break through for those below the Asking the Dao Realm. However, these restrictions could be activated and controlled with the identity jade token.

Hua Xia Jiu looked at the outer courtyard and saw a relatively clean stone path leading from his feet to a stone pavilion about ten meters away. On both sides of the stone path were two patches of desolate spirit fields, most of the spirit herbs had withered, but there were still over ten that were growing well. Clearly, they were left by the owner of the cave a hundred years ago. Hua Xia Jiu's eyes lit up with joy, and his soul consciousness spread out to detect the ten spirit herbs.

The spirit herbs were planted casually in the outer courtyard, so they were all ordinary spirit herbs, not rare treasures.

"These spirit herbs may be ordinary, but they are quite old, worth a few hundred spirit stones," Hua Xia Jiu muttered to himself, somewhat greedily.

Hua Xia Jiu did not linger, used his identity jade token to close the outer courtyard's stone door, and then walked into the courtyard.

Perhaps due to the restrictions set up in the outer courtyard, although it had been a hundred years, it still looked quite clean despite some desolation.

The pavilion was simply furnished, with a simple and elegant style. The few wooden chairs and two tea tables were made of low-grade spirit wood, so after a hundred years, they looked somewhat old but were still in good condition.

Apart from that, the pavilion had no other items, clearly used only for receiving guests.

At the back of the pavilion, close to the mountain, was a stone door. Hua Xia Jiu used his soul consciousness to control the identity jade token, and with a rumbling sound, the stone door slowly opened.

In front of Hua Xia Jiu, a quiet and silent stone chamber was revealed.

Hua Xia Jiu walked through the stone door, quietly looking around, surveying the stone chamber where he would live for an unknown number of years.

The space of the stone chamber was much larger than Hua Xia Jiu had imagined. Just the outer room where the entrance was located was over a hundred square meters. In front, there were five small stone doors, clearly leading to five secret chambers.

Hua Xia Jiu enthusiastically opened the five stone doors one by one and found that the five chambers were of different sizes and had various uses.

Including the main hall of the stone chamber, the ceiling of all the chambers was embedded with night-luminous stones, making the entire stone chamber as bright as daylight. Additionally, due to special restrictions or arrays, the air inside the cave was fresh and flowing, with no stuffiness despite the closed stone doors.

On the left was a bedroom used for daily life and cultivation. The other four chambers were empty, and Hua Xia Jiu speculated that they might be used for alchemy, artifact refinement, or raising spirit beasts, depending on personal needs and preferences.

After familiarizing himself with the cave, Hua Xia Jiu did not hesitate. With his decisive and efficient style, he sat on a cushion in the main hall of the stone chamber, closed his eyes slightly, and began to sort through the large amount of information transmitted by You Gui.

He sat there for three whole days before he finished reviewing the information transmitted by You Gui. If You Gui knew that Hua Xia Jiu had sorted through and read the information in just three days, he would be greatly surprised. According to You Gui's plan, it would take Hua Xia Jiu at least three months to sort through and read the information.

The information mainly consisted of two parts, each divided into three stages.

One part was the cultivation techniques before the Asking the Dao Realm, and the other part was several magical techniques and abilities. It also included You Gui's own insights and experiences in cultivation, and each part was divided into the Spirit Condensation, Core Formation, and Out-of-Body stages.

Although it sounds simple, the content was vast and extensive, like a starry sky.

In the first part, except for one cultivation technique belonging to the You Ming lineage of the Zi You Sect, the rest of the techniques, magical techniques, and abilities were all learned by You Gui himself. This was related to his special status after joining the Zi You Sect. Apart from the basic cultivation techniques, the rest of the techniques, magical techniques, and abilities in the Zi You Sect required some corresponding costs to learn.

You Gui transmitted all this information into Hua Xia Jiu's mind at once using a secret method, saving a lot of time and trouble. However, in terms of content, You Gui did not keep anything back. He transmitted all the cultivation techniques, abilities, and magical techniques he knew, especially his own insights and experiences, without any reservation. This was extremely rare and precious in the cultivation world. In fact, such a complete and selfless transmission was not common in the cultivation world.
