Chapter 407: Chapter 252: Immortal Rumors? (Long Chapter)_2

Gao Tai’s cave residence was located in a notorious place in White Rock Province called "Death Miasma Valley." The miasma in the valley was so intense that ordinary people couldn’t approach it at all. Gao Tai relied on pills to enter, making it an extremely secure spot for his hidden treasures.

"It’s a double blessing..."

Li An was quite pleased. The Ten Thousand Evils Skill he cultivated required the absorption of all sorts of evil energy in the world, and Death Miasma Valley was a cultivation paradise for him.

However, he didn’t enter directly but spent six months carefully observing the surroundings of Death Barrier Valley!

After all, despite Gao Tai’s memories indicating that no one knew of this place, precautions had to be taken to ensure safety.

After half a year without any unusual occurrences or visitors, Li An finally ventured inside, braved the various poisonous miasmas, reached a cliff, and followed Gao Tai’s preset methods to enter, activating the Rank Four defensive array protecting the location.

A stone cave on the cliff opened immediately.

Li An waited for nearly an hour without any anomalies before entering.

Inside the cave, a rich spiritual Qi greeted him immediately, and at first glance, he was dazzled by the mountain of Spirit Stones!

A Spirit Gathering Array was set up here, which used five thousand Top Grade Spirit Stones!

In the center of the Spirit Gathering Array was a stone jar, filled with green crystalline soil, where a palm-sized red Reishi grew, emitting a rich, fragrant aroma. A layer of hot flames seemed to burn along the edge of the Reishi, and a small array was set around the stone jar to restrain the Spirit Medicine, preventing it from escaping.

"Celestial Fire Reishi!"

Li An was thrilled!

This was a Fifth Grade Spirit Medicine.

Fifth Grade, an opportunity for the Divinity Transformation Stage, and a main ingredient of the Celestial Life Pill!

Just this one Spirit Medicine, if sold, would fetch perhaps hundreds of thousands of Top Grade Spirit Stones—a Nascent Soul family would be hard-pressed to afford it even after depleting their resources.

Moreover, such things are basically unavailable for purchase on the New Continent, considered strategic core resources—who would sell them?

Li An did not rush to move the Reishi, instead opting to check it again.

The cave residence also contained many other treasures.

Besides the Celestial Fire Reishi, eleven other Fourth Grade Spirit Medicines were planted, all prime examples of Fourth Grade Spirit Medicines, cultivated with a large amount of precious Spirit Crystal Soil.

There were also dozens of pills like Fourth Grade Recovery Pills and Nascent Soul Assistance Pills.

Three Fourth Grade artifact refining materials: Celestial Light Silver, Profound Fire Sand, and Earth Bronze.

Two Rank Four Magical Artifacts: a "Profound Light Sword" and a "Spiritual Silkworm Robe." The Profound Light Sword, when used for attack, could draw upon the profound light of the heavens and earth, causing dizziness in opponents and making defense difficult, while the Spiritual Silkworm Robe could mitigate damage.

There were even several sets of materials for Rank Four arrays.

All excellent items!

Additionally, Gao Tai had stored ten thousand Top Grade Spirit Stones here.

Evidently, Gao Tai had turned this place into his secret base. Like a cunning rabbit with three burrows, even if something happened, as long as his Nascent Soul could escape, he could rely on the resources here to recover.

He had a strong sense of risk management, quite cautious indeed.

Unfortunately, he encountered Li An, the cautious king.

"Thank you."

Li An laughed; he could cultivate here in peace for a long time!

He planted all the Spirit Medicines he carried, including the Red Infant Flower, into Gao Tai’s Spirit Field.

Gao Tai’s Spirit Field was much more fertile than his own, and the Spirit Crystal Soil was greatly beneficial to the Spirit Medicines.

As for the Celestial Fire Reishi, Li An didn’t touch it, leaving it to continue growing in its place, simply using the Shennong Skill to nourish all the Spirit Medicines for a while.

Then he began his secluded cultivation here!

Lacking a Spirit Vein, Li An found it difficult to improve his realm, focusing mainly on cultivating the Ten Thousand Evils Skill.

Absorbing all the evil energy from Death Miasma Valley!

"The life-bound magical weapon should also be nurtured..."

Li An contemplated this issue.

Typically, once reaching the True Core stage, one can consider nurturing a life-bound magical weapon.

Life-bound magical weapons, once successfully nurtured, can communicate with the wielder’s mind and possess greater power than ordinary Magical Artifacts.

Li An had not considered it before, primarily due to concerns about safety.

For example, Xiang Yuntian had left behind a small sword, a life-bound magical weapon, during the encounter at Celestial Killer Mountain Range; once Li An seized it, Xiang Yuntian could be severely injured if Li An crushed it.

Life-bound magical weapons empower the object with one’s lifeforce, equivalent to handing a part of one’s life to it.

But such things are unavoidable; in the legendary Tribulation Crossing Stage, life-bound magical weapons can assist in Crossing Tribulations!

Now he had three Rank Four artifact refining materials, more than enough resources to nurture a life-bound magical weapon.

"Forget it, I’ll decide later—"

Li An ultimately shook his head.

He mainly found the artifact refining materials somewhat lacking.

In his view, life-bound magical weapons must be made of extremely durable materials.

Power is secondary; being extremely hard to damage is paramount.

Otherwise, Li An would not risk linking his life to it!

He concentrated on cultivating the Ten Thousand Evils Skill...

...

A year later.

The miasma from Death Miasma Valley had been absorbed and refined by Li An, as the Ten Thousand Evils Skill proved quite domineering, marking his entry into mastery.

He was highly anticipative of reaching its full potential, to the point where his physical body could withstand all spells and even resist Divine Soldiers, making it nearly impossible for others to kill him.

"Vermilion Transformation Furnace..."

He recalled Gao Tai’s ten-year pact with this person.

Over the years, the two had agreed to collect the essential blood of Nascent Soul cultivators, and at their next meeting, they’d begin refining the Human Returning Pill!

Gao Tai had plotted meticulously, and during the battle at Supreme Mysterious Mountain Range, if not for unforeseen events, not only would he have achieved great merit among Evil Cultivators, but the deceased Nascent Souls’ blood might have sufficed to meet his needs.
