77: Chapter 77 Core Formation Spiritual Object

What truly caught his attention were two objects suffused with spiritual light.

One was an antique bronze round mirror, the size of a palm. The frame was carved with cloud patterns, and the mirror surface was as smooth as water, with ripples faintly flowing across it.

Ye Changge injected a trace of magic power, and the mirror surface immediately glowed with a hazy clear light, giving a feeling of solidity and stability.

"This mirror is a good defensive Spiritual Artifact. It can block and reflect attacks; it suits you perfectly."

He handed it to Lu Shiyin.

Lu Shiyin took it with delight.

"Thank you, Husband!"

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, she truly lacked a handy Spiritual Artifact for protection; this mirror arrived just in time.

The other item was a small green flag, with a whirlwind pattern embroidered on the flag surface. The spiritual power fluctuation was slightly weaker; it was only a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact.

"Wind-attribute. It can unleash wind blades to attack enemies. Better than nothing."

Ye Changge weighed it in his hand, preparing to run the Kunpeng Refining Art when the time came to devour the spiritual essence within this small flag to replenish himself.

Medicinal Pills, Talismans, Materials, and other miscellaneous items were also sorted and put away.

Ye Changge's gaze finally fell upon a few jade slips.

He checked them one by one; most were ordinary Cultivation Techniques and Spells, until he picked up one that looked quite old.

As his Divine Sense probed inside, the first few words made his eyebrows raise.

《Peeping Heaven Art》?

"Divination technique?"

Ye Changge pondered.

Among the hundred arts of immortality, the Dao of divination was extremely special. It was difficult to enter, and those who mastered it were as rare as Phoenix feathers and Qilin horns. Moreover, it often required paying the price of Lifespan and Luck to glimpse the heavenly secrets, so its Legacy was rare.

It was mostly kept secret by large Sects or ancient Families.

He didn't expect to see a fragment on these two Bandit Cultivators.

He browsed through it roughly; the content was indeed severely incomplete, containing only some basic concepts of divination and vague methods for sensing good and bad fortune.

"This Dao has special requirements. I am not a person of this Dao."

Ye Changge put it away.

"However, there are many disciples in the Family. Perhaps one or two with talent in this area will emerge in the future. Let's put it in the Library Pavilion for now and leave it for those with affinity."

Finally, his gaze fell on the jade box sealed with layers of Talismans.

He had felt it was extraordinary with a quick glance earlier, and now he was even more cautious.

He carefully peeled off the sealing Talismans one by one. With each one removed, the Spiritual Qi emanating from the jade box grew denser.

When the last Talisman was removed, the box lid automatically opened a crack.

In an instant, a golden glow, incomparably pure and carrying a faint fragrance and vibrant vitality, permeated out!

Inside the jade box lay a thumb-sized, perfectly round, flawless pill-shaped object that looked as if it were made of pure gold, with natural cloud patterns on its surface.

It was not a Medicinal Pill.

"This is... 'Qianyuan Creation Gold'?"

Ye Changge's pupils constricted. Even with his steady Heart-Nature, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, his tone carrying a hint of disbelief.

"... This is a supreme treasure that can improve the quality of Core Formation!"

A Core Formation spiritual item!

A hundred times more precious than a foundation establishment spiritual item. It is often impossible to find, and once it appears at an auction, it will surely trigger a struggle among major forces. After all, it can increase the Core Formation rate of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

The price is enough to empty the entire savings of a medium-sized Foundation Establishment Family!

These two Bandit Cultivators did not know where they obtained this treasure, perhaps they intercepted a Cultivator carrying a heavy treasure and had not yet had time to dispose of it or hand it over to their employer, but now it had cheaply fallen into Ye Changge's hands.

He gently closed the jade box and quickly re-applied a few Talismans to isolate the Spiritual Qi fluctuation, a genuine smile appearing on his face: "This time, I really made a huge profit."

Ye Changge stroked the jade box with his fingertips, his eyes flashing with brilliance.

Although this item could not directly help him with Core Formation, it could significantly improve the quality of his Golden Core during Core Formation, and even increase the chance of achieving a High Grade Golden Core.

For any Foundation Establishment Cultivator, this was a supreme treasure capable of inciting a bloody battle.

"Lu Shiyin, besides you and me, do not speak of this to outsiders for now."

Lu Shiyin nodded solemnly: "Husband, rest assured, I understand the gravity of the situation."

She was now one of the actual mistresses of the Ye Family, so she naturally understood the principle that harboring a treasure is a crime.

Ye Changge pondered for a moment and put the jade box into the System space; it was safest there.

Subsequently, he handed the antique bronze round mirror to Lu Shiyin for refining, while he himself put away the 《Peeping Heaven Art》 fragment and the wind-attribute small flag.

"The auction is still two days away. Although this disturbance occurred, it instead highlights the means of our Ye Family."

Ye Changge's tone was calm.

"Next, I would like to see who else dares to reach out."

...

Meanwhile, inside the White Bird Market, it was already boiling over.

The news that the Ye Changge couple had killed two Foundation Establishment Mid-stage Bandit Cultivators in one blow swept through the entire market like the wind, and was rapidly spreading to the surrounding regions.

"Have you heard? Ancestor Ye and Madam Lu joined forces and crushed two Foundation Establishment Mid-stage Bandit Cultivators in one move!"

"Really? That's Foundation Establishment Mid-stage, and two of them!"

"Absolutely true! I saw it with my own eyes! Ancestor Ye unleashed a black and white giant hand and pinched them into fly ash in one go!"

"What kind of Divine Ability is that? Could it be... the legendary combined attack Cultivation Technique?"

"Perhaps it is a combined attack Divine Ability evolved from a Dual Cultivation Secret Art! No wonder the Lu Family was willing to marry both of their pearls over; it turns out they have such a foundation!"

For a time, there was endless discussion and speculation.

Some marveled at Ye Changge's unfathomable strength.

Some envied the Ye Family for gaining such strong reinforcements and combined attack Secret Arts from the Lu Family.

Others had flickering eyes, secretly speculating.

Naturally, there were also voices of disbelief and questioning.

"Hmph, an Foundation Establishment Early Stage at twenty-eight, even if he is a peerless genius, how strong can he be? He must have used some Secret Art that consumes a lot, or those two Bandit Cultivators were already injured!"

"I think so too. The Ye Family is probably deliberately exaggerating to deter petty thieves. What combined attack Cultivation Technique? It's mostly a smoke screen."

"Two little dolls, even if they started cultivating from their mother's womb, it is impossible to easily kill two Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators. This matter is suspicious, it cannot be fully believed."

These voices, whether out of jealousy or vigilance against the unknown, spread quietly in the shadows.

But regardless, after this incident, the name of the "Ye Family of Longmai Mountain" and "Ye Changge" undoubtedly became more famous in this region, and added a bit more mystery and deterrence.

Meanwhile, at the border of the Zhao State, deep within the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

Many Tier 3 Yao Beasts lived here, and even in the core area, a Nascent Soul True Lord could hardly enter.

In a dark and damp Immortal Cave here, ghostly green phosphorous fire jumped.

A young man holding a jade slip slowly lowered the information in his hand, his knuckles tapping lightly on the armrest of the stone seat.

He had a pale complexion and his aura was deep and unfathomable; he was actually a Late Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, only half a step away from Perfection.

"Ye Changge... twenty-eight years old, Foundation Establishment Early Stage, suspected of mastering a powerful combined attack Divine Ability or secret treasure. Born into a declining cultivation Family, yet he rose rapidly in just a few years, took many concubines, and produced offspring frequently..."

The young man muttered to himself, the corners of his mouth curling into a playful arc.

"Could it be a kind of gestation spiritual body?"

He stood up and walked to the side of the pool in the Immortal Cave.

"If he could be used by me, this mission would be much easier."
