In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 397 The Jade Disc of He

The jade stone is about an inch in size, and its entire body presents a color like the tenderest lake in early spring. It is crystal clear, but what is truly eye-catching is the scene inside the jade stone.

At its core, it is not still, but rather seems to contain wisps of pale golden mist, like fog or liquid shimmering light, which slowly and steadily rotate and flow within it.

Holding the jade in your hand, it feels warm and smooth, definitely the texture of top-grade jade.

Even so, while this size of jade is quite valuable, it's not enough for the Five Poisons Saint to place it alongside the Spider King Flower.

"Or does this jade have some other use?"

Although he didn't understand, the item was already in Gu Shaoan's hands, and there would be plenty of time to study it later.

After putting the box away, Gu Shaoan raised his right hand and used yin and yang energies to draw all the bottles and jars to his front, then opened them and examined them.

They discovered that these bottles and jars contained either poison or antidote.

"Turning these medicines into poison is truly a waste!"

Among the poisons in the hands of the Five Poison Saint, some were made from rare and nearly extinct medicinal herbs, including those that could enhance a martial artist's training efficiency or directly increase their power.

However, they have now all been refined into poison.

However, the poisons that the Five Poison Saint could carry with him were not ordinary medicines.

Gu Shaoan didn't waste it either, and put it into his bundle for future use.

The next day.

noon.

During the rest period, Gu Shaoan took out the jade stone he had obtained from the Five Poison Saint yesterday.

Under the sunlight, the mist within the jade seemed even more pronounced.

However, even now, Gu Shaoan has not been able to discover the specific use of this jade.

"The Five Poisons Saint is skilled in using poison, and the Spider King Flower is the main ingredient in refining the Bright Jade Pill. It's impossible for the Five Poisons Saint to know this."

"Those who use poison often keep the poison and antidote together for emergencies. Could it be that this jade has the effect of detoxification?"

Thinking of this, Gu Shaoan tried taking a small amount of one of the poisons left behind by the Five Poison Saint and sprinkling it on the jade.

The next second, in Gu Shaoan's observation, these poisons melted away the moment they touched the jade, just like spring snow meeting fire.

"Ok?"

Seeing this, Gu Shaoan raised an eyebrow slightly, then took another kind of poison and put it in his mouth.

Then, he pinched the jade stone and circulated the internal energy within his body.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Shaoan was surprised to find that as his internal energy flowed through the jade and returned to his body, the toxins from the poison he had just ingested gradually weakened during the circulation of this internal energy.

Because Gu Shaoan had just ingested a very small amount of poison, the toxins in his body were completely neutralized in just a few dozen breaths.

“It really works.”

Upon noticing the changes within his body, Gu Shaoan couldn't help but glance at the jade in his hand with surprise.

Judging from the experiment just now, when a martial artist injects their vital energy into the jade, the jade will cause the vital energy that returns to the body to have more detoxifying energy.

Moreover, the effect is extremely strong.

It is in no way inferior to the antidote pills that Gu Shaoan himself concocted.

If one could carry this jade with them, they could use it to cure even the most unusual poisons in the martial arts world.

"It is indeed a treasure."

Although Gu Shaoan doesn't need this item, it would definitely be a protective treasure if given to Abbess Miejue and the others, or to Zhou Zhiruo and Yang Yan.

However, just as Gu Shaoan's thought was formed, in his perception, a wisp of the power of heaven and earth suddenly drifted down from the sky and then entered the jade in his hand.

"Ok?"

Faced with this sudden change, Gu Shaoan was slightly taken aback.

The original energy that was intended to be withdrawn was continued to be injected into the jade.

A quarter of an hour later, as Gu Shaoan infused his Qi, a wisp of the power of heaven and earth quietly emerged from the jade and entered Gu Shaoan's body.

For some unknown reason, Gu Shaoan manipulated the Yin and Yang energies within his body to imprint this wisp of heaven and earth power into the Qi seed.

When he saw this wisp of heaven and earth power enter the seed of qi and transform into its nourishment, Gu Shaoan suddenly gasped.

"This jade not only has the power to draw upon the power of heaven and earth, but it also has the effect of refining the power of heaven and earth?"

The ability to draw upon and refine the power of heaven and earth means that even martial artists like Yang Yan or Zhou Zhiruo, whose internal energy cultivation level is only at the Qi Condensation stage, can use this jade to seal the power of heaven and earth within their bodies.

In the event of danger, one only needs to use the Yin and Yang energies of the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" to manipulate the power of heaven and earth within the body and integrate it into the moves, thereby increasing the power of the martial arts moves by several levels.

Its function is self-evident.

I thought it was already remarkable that this jade had a detoxifying effect.

Who would have thought that jade could actually draw upon and refine the power of heaven and earth?

Even Gu Shaoan felt as if he had found a great treasure when he looked at the jade.

"What kind of jade is this? How can it have such an effect?"

Gu Shaoan's mind raced.

Finally, his thoughts settled on one object.

"He Shi Bi".

The He Shi Bi jade is a treasure of the martial arts world.

Legend has it that the He Shi Bi jade has the miraculous power to help people foresee the future, shatter the void, and reach the pinnacle of martial arts.

As far as Gu Shaoan knew, the only jade in the world capable of drawing upon and refining the power of heaven and earth was the He Shi Bi jade from the Great Sui Dynasty.

However, it is said that there is still a lot of essence inside the He Shi Bi jade that can greatly increase a martial artist's power and also temper their own power.

However, Gu Shaoan did not sense any special essence from the jade.

"As for tempering a martial artist's own power."

Gu Shaoan changed the circulation route of his internal energy again, and then injected a wisp of his natal energy into the jade in his hand.

Half an hour later, in Gu Shaoan's perception, his innate spiritual energy had indeed become a little more refined.

Although the effect of this tempering is negligible, it does indeed exist.

"It actually works!"

Immediately afterwards, Gu Shaoan circulated his own internal energy and quickly poured it into the jade. Half an hour later, Gu Shaoan looked at the jade again and found that its color had changed from light green to dark green.

Furthermore, the misty atmosphere inside is even more pronounced, as if golden quicksand is slowly flowing within.

Immediately afterwards, under the influence of the internal energy within Gu Shaoan, the internal energy he had just injected into the jade flowed back into Gu Shaoan's body.

Upon sensing Gang Yuan's response, Gu Shaoan's eyes flashed.

In the world, things that can store a martial artist's power are extremely rare.

The most famous of these are the Demonic Sect's most precious treasures, the Evil Emperor's Relic and the He Shi Bi Jade.

It can store a martial artist's vital energy, refine their skills, and draw upon the power of heaven and earth.

At this moment, Gu Shaoan had confirmed the identity of the jade in his hand.

It was the legendary He Shi Bi jade.

Only the He Shi Bi jade could possess such a unique effect, capable of condensing and refining the power of heaven and earth.

However, judging from its size, it is only a small fragment of the He Shi Bi jade.

As for the original essence inside, it was likely absorbed by someone who obtained this fragment in the past.

A hint of doubt rose in Gu Shaoan's eyes.

"Logically, the He Shi Bi should be in the Jingnian Zen Temple of Cihang Jingzhai in the Great Sui Kingdom. Why is the fragment of the He Shi Bi now in the Great Wei Kingdom, and in the hands of the Five Poisons Saint Son?"

Although he had doubts, Gu Shaoan was not foolish enough to ask He Baiyao about his thoughts.

One should not flaunt one's wealth, especially when it involves something like the "He Shi Bi" jade disc.

Once the news leaks, who knows what trouble it will cause?
Looking at the fragments of the He Shi Bi jade in his hand, Gu Shaoan chuckled to himself.

For Gu Shaoan, the He Shi Bi (a famous jade disc) was not particularly valuable.

In terms of Qi, his own Qi is almost at its purest level. Even the fragment of the He Shi Bi jade could only bring a negligible boost.

In terms of refining the power of heaven and earth, Gu Shaoan's own "Heavenly Will Four Symbols Technique" is far more effective than this fragment of the He Shi Bi jade.

But it wasn't of much use to Gu Shaoan, though it was a different story for the Emei Sect.

With this fragment of the He Shi Bi jade, once we return and refine the Ming Yu Dan, and with the effects of the Ming Yu Dan and this He Shi Bi jade, and considering the current skill and potential of Abbess Miejue, Juechen, and Zhuanwu, they will surely be able to reach the level of Ningyuan Chenggang within three years.

Furthermore, with this fragment of the He Shi Bi jade, it's only a matter of time before he reaches the Celestial Realm.

The same applies to Zhou Zhiruo and Yang Yan.

This fragment of the He Shi Bi jade can be said to have shown Abbess Miejue and others a broad road to success.

It can be said that this fragment of the He Shi Bi jade will definitely become the Emei Sect's most prized treasure in the future.

Thinking of this, Gu Shaoan couldn't help but sigh once again at how wonderful the Five Poisons Saint Son was, the treasure-delivering boy.

It was somewhat inappropriate to kill the Five Poison Child in one move.

For the sake of the He Shi Bi jade and the Spider King Flower, we should at least let the Five Poison Child live a little longer before killing him in two moves.

What was originally a minor trouble turned out to bring unexpected and significant benefits, putting Gu Shaoan in a great mood.

At noon, outside Dongyang Prefecture, Gu Shaoan, Fan Sanshan, and Cheng Shifei traveled along the official road like wild geese soaring through the sky.

After moving forward for several miles, the outline of a cluster of houses came into view.

Gu Shaoan looked into the distance and could clearly see the words "Dongyang Post Station" on the tall cloth banner.

"The post station is just ahead, let's rest for a bit!"

As soon as Gu Shaoan spoke, the three of them slowed down abruptly.

Only when his body reached a normal walking pace did Cheng Shifei finally breathe a sigh of relief.

For a month, under Gu Shaoan's almost exploitative way of traveling, Cheng Shifei spent almost every day trying his best to use his lightness skill to keep up with Gu Shaoan and Fan Sanshan's movements and sitting cross-legged to recover his internal energy.

The benefits are also obvious.

In the past month, Cheng Shifei's lightness skill has improved by several levels, and his internal strength has also increased significantly under this pressure.

Currently, most of the eight extraordinary meridians in his body have been opened.

Based on Cheng Shifei's innate talent and cultivation speed, perhaps in another three to five years, around the age of thirty, he will be able to break through the two bridges of heaven and earth and reach the level of returning to the innate state in his internal energy.

Although it was midday, the number of guests at the post station far exceeded Gu Shaoan's expectations.

In the open space in front of the post station, beside the hitching posts, and even in the shadier corner of the backyard, most of the people and horses who were stopping or resting were wearing distinctive guard flags.

Those triangular flags made of cloth or silk, some stuck on the shafts of carts, some tied to the heads of luggage, and some directly tied to the shoulders of warriors, fluttered listlessly in the air, yet the different characters embroidered on them could still be discerned.

"Zhenyuan", "Changfeng", "Weiyang", "Sihai"... there are no fewer than ten such names.

Although Dongyang Post Station is a transportation hub, it is rare for so many different escort agencies to gather at the same time.

What made Gu Shaoan's gaze narrow slightly was that most of these bodyguards who seemed to be resting and cooling off were burly, with slightly bulging temples, bright eyes, and a steady stance as they moved.

They squatted or sat, talked in hushed tones, or silently wiped their weapons, but their breathing was generally long and even. Even in this hot afternoon, they rarely saw the heavy panting and profuse sweating of ordinary laborers.

It's not uncommon for the head镖师 (escort leader) or core镖师 (escort officers) to possess internal strength in ordinary escort missions. However, the fact that even many seemingly ordinary镖师 (escort officers) and guards have a calm and steady demeanor indicates that they have undergone systematic training or have a certain foundation in internal strength is far beyond the configuration of ordinary merchant escorts.

In response, Gu Shaoan transmitted his voice and asked, "Brother Fan, are there really so many escort agencies in Dongyang Prefecture? Even outside this post station, there are so many escort agencies?"

Not only Gu Shaoan, but Fan Sanshan, who was standing next to him, also noticed the strangeness of the post station.

After a moment's thought, Fan Sanshan responded using the same method of telepathic communication: "Brother Gu should know which faction this Dongyang Prefecture belongs to, right?"

Gu Shaoan transmitted his voice, saying, "Dongyang Prefecture, Nanyang Prefecture, and Shuijiang Prefecture are all under the jurisdiction of the Round Moon Sect."

“That’s right! This Round Moon Gate belongs to the Demonic Sect. The ‘Divine Blade Slash’ within the sect can be said to be an extremely famous sword technique in the Demonic Sect, on par with the ‘Three Blades of Avici Hell’.”

"It is said that when used in conjunction with the Crescent Moon Blade, the most precious treasure within the Crescent Moon Gate, its power becomes even more terrifying."

"A hundred years ago, it was one of the top forces among the first-class powers. It is said that at its peak, it controlled twenty surrounding prefectures and was extremely powerful, comparable to the former Azure Dragon Society. However, a few decades ago, for some unknown reason, it had a conflict with Master Zhang. Master Zhang first slaughtered the Yuanyue Sect's garrisons in various prefectures and then personally attacked the Yuanyue Sect. It is said that the sect leader of the Yuanyue Sect was seriously injured in the end."

"It was after this that the leader of the Round Moon Sect announced his seclusion. The Round Moon Sect was no longer as arrogant as before, and its power was reduced again and again. Now, its sphere of influence only covers the three prefectures of Dongyang, Nanyang and Shuijiang."

"And this Dongyang Prefecture was handed over to the Rakshasa Sect, Ghost Palace and Blazing Fire Palace, three second-rate forces under the Yuanyue Sect, to jointly manage, along with many other sects and factions, making Dongyang Prefecture even more chaotic."

Upon hearing Fan Sanshan mention these three second-rate forces, Gu Shaoan narrowed his eyes slightly.

This is because these three second-rate forces happened to be the same three forces that destroyed the former Tianlongmen.

In other words, it is also Huang Xuemei's blood feud.
