Li Feng took out all the items from the spatial ring one by one and started to check them with his system. The very first things that he took out were spirit stones. And it was a lot of spirit stones. There were more than ten thousand of them. That did not sound too many but all the ten thousand plus spirit stones were of high grade.
That meant those 10000 plus high grade spirit stones were equivalent to more than 100 million low grade ones. That was a massive amount of wealth and Li Feng was sure that most of the elders would not have this many spirit stones under them. It looked like the golden core who had died here was from a very rich background.
After the spirit stone, Li Feng took out several swords. Most of the swords were of the high grade with only a single top grade sword. But that top grade sword was badly damaged. Normally, top grade weapons were used by Nascent Soul realm cultivators but it looked like the owner of the spatial ring was special enough to have an item of that grade even before reaching the Nascent Soul.
Even though all those swords were quite rare and expensive, as none of them were eligible for even an advanced upgradation card, Li Feng was a little bit disappointed.
After the swords, he started to take out various medicinal and cultivation pills. They were all standard pills that golden core realm cultivators used daily, so they were not that big of a deal. But the last pill that Li Feng found was truly special. It was a pill called "Origin Birth Pill" and this pill was a super rare pill that helped a golden core in reaching the Nascent Soul realm.
But if that was all then Li Feng would not be so surprised. The main reason why he was happy with this pill was because he could use an advanced upgradation card on it. So Li Feng did not wait even a little and used the advanced upgradation card on it. Immediately after that, the Origin Birth Pill turned into "Divine Source Pill".
[Divine Source Pill: This pill could create a divine source that could supply an almost unlimited amount of energy during a breakthrough. This pill do not need to be consumed. Just pouring a little spiritual energy in it will activate it's effect. The effect will last for an hour and the affected area of the Divine Source would be three meters. In the area under the influence of the Divine Source, the probability of a successful breakthrough will increase by 40 percent. It can be used for five times. It is only useful for cultivators under the Dao Integration realm.]
This was a very special pill that could help someone in breaking through any realm under the Dao Integration. For reaching the Dao Integration realm, understanding the Dao was most important with which this pill could not help. So this pill was useless to anyone trying to reach the Dao Integration realm. But below that realm, this pill was a divine elixir that could increase the chance of a successful breakthrough by 40 percent.
Li Feng happily put away the Divine Source Pill. He was planning to use this pill to break through to the foundation establishment realm but before that he still had to check the other things kept in the spatial ring.
Next he took out a hand written diary. Cultivators most of the time used jade slips to write most things but it looked like the owner of the ring had a hobby to keep a diary.
Li Feng put the diary to the side to read it later and started to bring the last few things out. Those last few things were a few spiritual plants and jade slips. None of them were very significant except for one of the jade slips. That jade slip recorded a technique called "Heart Soothing Sword" and this sword technique was eligible for an advanced upgradation.
After emptying out the whole spatial ring, Li Feng finally took the diary in his hands. Yue would need some more time to complete her breakthrough so for that duration, Li Feng decided to read what was written in the diary.
...
The name of the man who died here was Lu Houwu. He was an elder of the Heavenly Reaching Sword sect. Li Feng was familiar with the name of Heaven Reaching Sword sect. It was one of the top righteous sects of this region with at least 13 nascent soul powerhouses in it.
Now it made sense to Li Feng why this golden core cultivator was so rich. He looked quite young so his chance of reaching the Nascent Soul realm was extremely high. So the Heaven Reaching Sword sect must have poured a lot of resources behind him.
As for how he ended up here and died in this cave abode, he had also written about it in the dairy. He came out of the Tianxuan mountain of the Heaven Reaching Sword sect for training. He was at the peak of the golden core realm and just needed one last push to start his breakthrough process. So to find that last push, he came out to adventurer in the world.
But unfortunately this news of his departure was secretly leaked to the demonic sects. The demonic sects did not want the Heaven Reaching Sword sect to have another nascent soul realm powerhouse. So they sent five nascent soul realm cultivators to hunt him down. The sect leader of the Blood Sea sect was also among the attackers.
Even though Lu Houwu was powerful, he was unable to fight against five nascent soul realm cultivators. So he had no other way but to run away. With his various life saving means, he did managed to get away from the five nascent souls and hid himself in this cave abode. But that was all in vein. He was already poisoned by an elder of the "Seven Poison Hall" with a poison called "Marrow Dissolving and Meridian Destroying". That was also the poison that Li Feng had absorbed inside his body.
Lu Houwu failed to get rid of this poison and his physical body was completely destroyed. But before his death, he had used a secret technique of the Heaven Reaching Sword sect to cut a part of his soul to create a remnant soul even before reaching the Nascent Soul realm. And the mission that was given to the soul was to search for a worthy candidate to inherit his legacy.
As for how the map of this place were sent outside, Lu Houwu had used a secret technique to scatter them in various areas within the 1000 kilometer radius of this cave abode. According to the diary, he had created five such maps and only two of them had successfully brought cultivators in the cave abode including Li Feng.
As Li Feng was thinking about how sad the life of this talented golden core powerhouse was, he saw that Yue was done with her cultivation. He could feel that she had safely managed to reach the fourth rank and now both Li Feng and her had the same cultivation realm. Now after Yue stabilised her realm, both of them could break through to the foundation establishment realm together.
