185: Chapter 185 Cangwu Secrets

"Old Ancestor, it's this ring." Chen Jiancang showed the ring in his hand to Chen Qingyuan.

"Storage ring!" Chen Qingyuan was slightly moved when he saw the ring in Chen Jiancang's hand.

After all, storage artifacts like this are quite rare; even Chen Qingyuan, who is at the Golden Core completion, only possesses one.

In the world of cultivation, nearly ninety-nine percent of Cultivators use storage bags. After all, storage bags are woven from ethereal silkworm threads, which form a certain spatial dimension within them.

Although ethereal silkworm threads are precious, they are also quite common, so the price of storage bags in the cultivation world is still quite reasonable. Even rogue Cultivators can use them.

However, storage artifacts are refined from the even rarer void stones, offering larger and more stable storage space. They won't be affected and shattered by battles, nor will they decay with the passage of time.

"Old Ancestor, I accidentally discovered this storage ring in the boneSeam of this skeleton. I didn't know its origin, so I took the liberty of dripping blood to make it my master," Chen Jiancang explained, judging from Chen Qingyuan's expression that this storage ring might be quite valuable.

Chen Qingyuan smiled and said, "No harm. You can keep this ring and use it. Take a look, is there anything inside?"

Although the storage ring is precious, compared to Chen Jiancang's contribution, it's completely insignificant. Moreover, this location was discovered by Chen Jiancang.

Even the Great Shift Token to enter the core Formation of Qixia Mountain was contributed by Chen Jiancang. Logically speaking, all items within Qixia Mountain should belong to Chen Jiancang, let alone this small storage ring.

"Thank you, Old Ancestor." Chen Jiancang joyfully put the ring on his finger.

He sensed the ring's space with his spiritual sense; the space within was surprisingly ten zhang square, more than ten times larger than a typical storage bag.

Chen Jiancang dared not delay in the slightest, controlling all the items within the ring's space with his spiritual sense and taking them out.

In an instant, a large pile of items with an ancient appearance appeared on the ground.

Chen Qingyuan slightly frowned, squatted down, and began searching carefully.

Besides some precious third and fourth-tier spiritual materials, these items included hundreds of High Grade spiritual stones and some Jade Slips containing information.

Other than that, there was nothing else, not even a decent Magical Artifact.

Chen Qingyuan ignored these High Grade spiritual materials and directly picked up the few Jade Slips, placing them on his forehead one by one to examine them carefully.

After a long while, Chen Qingyuan finally put down the Jade Slips, but his expression showed no joy from obtaining information; instead, it became solemn.

"Old Ancestor, is... is there a problem with these Jade Slips?" Chen Jiancang tentatively asked.

"You take a look too," Chen Qingyuan said with a solemn expression, as if the Jade Slips contained some earth-shattering secret.

Chen Jiancang no longer hesitated, took the Jade Slips from Chen Qingyuan's hand, and began reading. "This... this is a plea for help?"

Chen Jiancang's expression also became solemn along with Chen Qingyuan's.

The Jade Slip document recorded that a super Sect named Cangwu Sect encountered an invasion by the Evil Race and sent people to the Southern Region for help. However, for some unknown reason, the person seeking help met a tragic end before leaving Qixia Mountain.

What shocked Chen Jiancang and Chen Qingyuan the most was that the owner of this skeleton was not an ordinary Cultivator, but a Cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm.

If even a Nascent Soul cultivator could meet a tragic end, one can imagine the situation on the other side of that super long-distance teleportation array.

"Old Ancestor, the other side of the teleportation array is likely not a good place. Whether we need to teleport to the other side still requires careful consideration," Chen Jiancang said, expressing his thoughts and advising caution.

Because whether it was the Chen Family Old Ancestor or the Great Shift Token, both were of utmost importance to the Chen Family. If the other side of the teleportation array was extremely dangerous, it would be too risky for Old Ancestor Chen Qingyuan to go.

If other Chen Family members were sent with the Great Shift Token to investigate, and they met with misfortune, the Great Shift Token would be lost on the other side of the teleportation array.

Therefore, no matter what, for the Chen Family, the current stage is not the best time to teleport to the other side.

At the very least, Chen Qingyuan would need to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm and gain some self-preservation ability before deciding whether to go.

"Yes, the other side of the teleportation array is actually facing an invasion by the Evil Race. What kind of race is the Evil Race that even the super Sect Cangwu Sect, which has Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, cannot resist?" Chen Qingyuan said with emotion.

When Chen Qingyuan was young, he had crossed the boundless Han Sea to the Southern Region, a Holy Land for cultivation on the other side. He had witnessed the terror of those super Sects in the Southern Region that possessed Soul Transformation stage Cultivators.

Therefore, he was very clear about how terrifying the strength of such Sects was. If even such a Sect could not resist the Evil Race invasion, let alone him, an elderly Cultivator who had not yet condensed his Nascent Soul.

"This matter still requires careful consideration." Chen Qingyuan also had the intention to retreat at this point. Although countless years had passed, the situation on the other side was still unknown, so it was more appropriate to be cautious.

However, fortunately, Qixia Mountain still has a third-tier High Grade spiritualpulse, which is enough for him to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

However, this place is of great importance and needs to be kept secret.

Chen Qingyuan decided to protect this place as a core secret of the Chen Family. Only important Chen Family members were to be informed; otherwise, if the news of this place leaked, it would inevitably attract the covetous eyes of people from the entire Southern Corner Region and even the Southern Region.

At that time, with the strength of the Chen Family, it would likely be difficult to hold onto this Opportunity.

"Jiancang, only you and I know about the situation here. You must not reveal even a tiny bit to others, understand?" Chen Qingyuan emphasized his instruction to Chen Jiancang.

"Old Ancestor, rest assured. This matter is known to heaven and earth, you and I know, Jiancang will definitely not spread it to a third party," Chen Jiancang solemnly swore.

Chen Jiancang was not foolish either. How important this place was! If it were leaked casually, the Chen Family would definitely be pushed to the forefront and become enemies with the entire Southern Corner Region.

The best way to handle it was to utilize this treasure land, quietly develop, and slowly accumulate strength. By then, even if the secret was leaked, the Chen Family would have enough strength to defend this place.

"Mm." Chen Qingyuan nodded, turned his gaze to the other Jade Slips, and said to Chen Jiancang, "Jiancang, I've already checked just now. The other Jade Slips all contain some Cultivation Techniques and inheritances from the Cangwu Sect. Although they are profound techniques that lead directly to the Soul Transformation Realm, there isn't much difference from the Azure Emperor Everlasting Art we Cultivate. If you are interested, you can study them. After studying them, put these techniques into the Chen Family's scripture storage pavilion."

"Yes, Old Ancestor."

Chen Jiancang had a Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root, which was considered waste talent, but it also had an advantage: he could Cultivate all five-element techniques.

However, Chen Jiancang didn't have that much energy; the Azure Emperor Everlasting Art alone was enough for his cultivation needs.

But in Chen Jiancang's opinion, he could choose not to learn them, but he couldn't choose not to know about them. Since he had nothing else to do at the moment, he picked up a Jade Slip, placed it on his forehead, and began examining it carefully.

"Cangwu Wither-Flourish Technique!"

...

Chen Qingyuan glanced at Chen Jiancang, then at the pile of High Grade spiritual materials on the ground. He didn't collect them but turned around and walked back to the teleportation array platform to study it again.

Although these spiritual materials were precious, they were temporarily of no great use to Chen Qingyuan, and he also disdained competing with a junior for such a small amount of resources.

Moreover, he felt he owed Chen Jiancang a little and was even less likely to take Chen Jiancang's unexpected gains.
