Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 559: Chapter 326 Inventory Check

Li Yuanba inspected the two corpses and found a very special energy flowing slowly within them, seemingly altering the corpses.

He didn’t have the intention to immediately refine the corpses; it would be too wasteful.

If he were to refine the two Great Arhat corpses into refined corpses now, the most he could obtain would be the combat power of two Silver Corpses at the Early Stage.

However, if he waited until his realm advanced to the Golden Core Middle Stage before refining, he could obtain the combat power of Silver Corpses at the Middle Stage; the later the refinement, the stronger the combat power obtained.

Other Golden Core cultivators wouldn’t consider such things.

Because other Golden Core cultivators would remain at the Golden Core Early Stage for decades or even a hundred years, and with the help of the combat power of a Silver Corpse at the Early Stage, they could gain significant assistance during this period.

But Li Yuanba was different. Not to mention his own combat power, having one or two more Silver Corpses at the Early Stage wouldn’t be of much help to him. Besides, with abundant cultivation resources, he simply wouldn’t stay at the Golden Core Early Stage for too long.

Moreover, Silver Corpses also require time to advance.

Even with the profound foundation of the two Great Arhat corpses, transforming into Silver Corpses at the Early Stage, it would take many years to advance to the Middle Stage with the help of sufficient resources.

Li Yuanba was worried whether this time frame could keep up with the pace of his own realm’s advancement. Furthermore, whether he would refine the two Great Arhat corpses himself was not yet certain.

The two Great Arhat corpses were given to him by Ancestor Lu, and under normal circumstances, it would be inappropriate for Li Yuanba to send them to his main body, Li Shiming.

However, should Ancestor Lu enter seclusion afterward, he wouldn’t care whether Li Yuanba refined the two Great Arhat corpses or not.

Li Yuanba removed two Space Rings and let his Divine Thought enter them.

The Spiritual Objects inside the two Space Rings were not as abundant as he had imagined; such was the style of Qianye Temple. He had acquired many spatial items from Qianye Temple before, and the Spiritual Objects inside were always useful to the owner, with very few miscellaneous items.

Within the two Space Rings, he found a jade bottle labeled ‘Pure Bottle Liquid’.

‘Pure Bottle Liquid,’ a spiritual recovery item of Qianye Temple, could restore the spirit of any Golden Core cultivator completely with just one droplet.

Of course, using it to recover spirit was the most wasteful method. Its true application was in breaking through bottlenecks.

During a breakthrough, consuming some ‘Pure Bottle Liquid’ could maintain one’s spirit in its most vigorous state continuously, making the mind exceptionally clear and significantly enhancing the success rate of the breakthrough.

Even though ‘Pure Bottle Liquid’ was a third-grade spiritual item, its value was extremely high. As a special product of Qianye Temple, it was priceless on the market; even if priced, it would reach that of an ordinary fourth-grade spiritual object.

The reason behind the high value of ‘Pure Bottle Liquid’ was its other important function—it slightly enhanced the chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

The two Great Arhats had offered ‘Pure Bottle Liquid’ to trade for their lives with Ancestor Lu because it was the only item on them that could catch Ancestor Lu’s eye.

Probably neither of the Great Arhats expected that what they considered valuable ‘Pure Bottle Liquid,’ Ancestor Lu didn’t even spare a glance, leaving their corpses along with it to Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba put away the ‘Pure Bottle Liquid.’ There were six droplets in the bottle, and he surmised that it was very likely that one of the two Great Arhats had prepared it for their own breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm.

The remaining contents of the Space Rings were two ‘Great Divine Movement Talismans,’ exhibiting extremely high spirituality, far surpassing the category of a third-grade talisman; they were likely fourth-grade talismans.

Especially from the ‘Great Divine Movement Talismans,’ he sensed the aura of the Divine Foot Skill. Although he couldn’t be certain, the ‘Great Divine Movement Talismans’ were quite likely related to the Divine Foot Skill.

These two fourth-grade talismans were real life-saving items. At the Golden Core Stage, having a third-grade life-saving talisman would be mostly sufficient for an average Golden Core cultivator.

A third-grade life-saving talisman equated to allowing a Golden Core cultivator to instantaneously use some long-preparation escape spells, and with the boost of various third-grade spiritual objects, to achieve a quick getaway.

However, the effect of a third-grade life-saving talisman on Li Yuanba was somewhat unsatisfactory, mainly because he himself possessed a nascent level of the Divine Skill, ‘Step by Step Lotus,’ which was faster than a third-grade life-saving talisman.

The third-grade life-saving talismans he confiscated mainly served to conceal the existence of ‘Step by Step Lotus.’

A fourth-grade life-saving talisman was an instant-cast distant escape spell, which normally could only be cast by a Nascent Soul Ancestor, enhanced by fourth-grade spiritual items.

This allowed the fourth-grade life-saving talisman to be activated instantly, giving a chance to escape from a Nascent Soul Ancestor’s grasp when used.

This single effect alone made the ‘Great Divine Movement Talisman’ invaluable.

In fact, its value far exceeded Li Yuanba’s estimation. Even within Qianye Temple, the ‘Great Divine Movement Talisman’ was extremely precious and rare.

There is currently no Venerable in Qianye Temple capable of crafting ‘Great Divine Movement Talismans,’ and even Venerable Huike, who had mastered the Divine Foot Skill, couldn’t make ‘Great Divine Movement Talismans’ due to his relatively lower level of mastery.

Each ‘Great Divine Movement Talisman’ consumed within Qianye Temple meant one less in stock.

Even if Venerable Huike made significant progress with the Divine Foot Skill, just the fourth-grade materials needed to craft ‘Great Divine Movement Talismans’ wouldn’t allow for many to be made.

Within the two Space Rings, there was one magical artefact each. Originally, there were more than one, but the defensive magical artefacts all shattered into pieces while withstanding the attack from Ancestor Lu.
