Mortal: Starting by looting Han Laomo's entire herb garden

Half an hour later.

Lu Yan fed everyone at the spirit stone mine a Forget-Dust Pill, and then led the three spirit beasts to the depths of the tunnel.

After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the tunnel suddenly opened up.

This is a huge underground cave. In the center of the cave stands a stone platform covered with intricate runes.

"The ancient teleportation array has been found."

Lu Yan's eyes lit up, and he immediately activated his Illuminating Demon Eye to look upwards.

A huge white spider was seen, curled up in the shadows, its eight legs slightly bent, clearly ready to pounce.

Lu Yan quickly affixed the Six Ding Heavenly Armor Talisman to himself, then instructed the Ink Dragon and the Illusion Phoenix Sparrow: "You two, go and cripple it, but don't kill it."

The black dragon glanced at him speechlessly, thinking to itself: Can this insect withstand a mouthful of my venom? I'm not going to have to fight it with my bare hands, am I?

Ignoring all that, the Phoenix Sparrow transformed into a streak of red light and charged ahead towards the spider on the cave wall.

Seeing this, the black dragon no longer hesitated and pounced after it.

Lu Yan stopped looking at the three spirit beasts fighting and walked straight towards the ancient teleportation array.

Beside the teleportation array, a skeleton leaned against a rock, its clothes almost dried by the wind, making it impossible to tell how long it had been dead.

In the withered hand lay a token, the Great Teleportation Token.

"Give it to me."

Lu Yan took the Great Teleportation Token from his hand. The token felt slightly heavy in his hand, and he didn't know what material it was made of.

Carefully put it away; this Great Teleportation Token will ensure that it won't be torn apart by spatial forces during teleportation.

Then, Lu Yan fired a fireball, cremating Ji Xuan's remains.

Splash!

Five beads, each the size of a longan, were scattered on the ground. These were the Heaven-Mending Pills that Ji Xuan had not yet fully refined.

Lu Yan took out a jade bottle and put it away, then turned to look at the Blood Jade Spider.

The giant spider was now lying on the ground, barely alive, and it looked like it was about to die.

Lu Yan shook his head, flipped his hand and took out a jade bottle, opened the cap, and a strange fragrance wafted out.

He found it in Lian Feihua's storage bag; it should be a high-level healing medicine.

He approached the spider, whose eyes were glazed over, holding a forbidden divine tablet: "Hand over your primordial spirit, and I will heal you."

Without a second thought, the Blood Jade Spider unleashed a beam of black light from its head, which then entered the Forbidden God Tablet.

Sensing a connection with the Blood Jade Spider, Lu Yan flicked his finger, and a pill shot out of the spider's mouth.

Then the Blood Jade Spider transformed into a beam of white light and disappeared into the storage bracelet.

Afterwards, Lu Yan found two more spider eggs nearby.

"Tsk tsk tsk, when we get back to the Chaotic Star Sea, these two spider eggs will definitely fetch a good price."

As for personally training them, he never even considered it; he had neither the energy nor the resources.

As for the Blood Jade Spider being the key to obtaining the Void Heaven Cauldron? Heh, in Lu Yan's eyes, the Void Heaven Cauldron is nothing special.

It may indeed be a treasure in the human world, but in the spirit world, it is nothing more than a key replica that cannot even make it onto the Chaos Myriad Spirits Ranking.

It's the kind of thing that you can't use when you're weak, and you can't use when you're strong.

Then, he took out a piece of animal hide and carefully drew the runes and patterns of the ancient teleportation array on it.

Go back and find Xin Ruyin to see if she can fix it.

Then, Lu Yan took out the storage bag he had seized from the cultivator surnamed Li from Tianque Fortress. It was full of spirit stones, worth over ten thousand.

However, it seems that each spirit stone was placed with a tracking restriction, probably to prevent cultivators from absconding with the funds.

However, this is useless for Lu Yan; he can just use it on the spot.

"Time travel!"

Suddenly, the world spun around him, and Lu Yan lost his footing.

Whoosh!

"puff!"

Lu Yan fell directly into the water. Before he could even open his eyes, a dense, almost tangible spiritual energy rushed towards him.

He opened his eyes and was completely stunned.

He found himself in a huge spiritual spring, more than ten times larger than the one he had found in the Taiyue Mountains.

The rich spiritual energy condensed into a thin layer of white mist on the water's surface.

Lu Yan's gaze moved upwards and he saw a dragon head statue in the spring. The dragon's mouth was slightly open, and a drop of milky white liquid hung precariously on the dragon's tooth.

Lu Yan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

This is definitely a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk!

He looked up and around. It was a stone house with a high dome and ancient runes carved on the four walls.

The layout, the concentration of spiritual energy, the stone carvings…

Lu Yan realized that he had transmigrated to the Void Heaven Palace.

"Holy shit!" Lu Yan swallowed hard, a bright smile spreading across his face.

"This is a blessing! Thank God for this gift."

He sensed the spirit stones in his storage bag; at a rate of one per second, with his current wealth, he could easily stay here for a month.

A month is enough for him to get a lot done.

Lu Yan shook the spirit beast bracelet, and four beams of spiritual light flew out.

The four of them rushed in as soon as they saw the Spirit Eye Spring.

The Blood Jade Spider's injuries hadn't healed yet, and its aura was still somewhat weak, but its eyes had regained their sparkle.

Lu Yan tossed him several pills: "Try to recover from your injuries within a month. I'll need them a lot."

Then he took out a jade bottle and placed it below the dragon's mouth to catch the dripping millennia-old spiritual milk.

The Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Milk drips extremely slowly, taking half a day to accumulate enough for one bottle. But Lu Yan wasn't in a hurry; he had plenty of time.

He then turned to look at the three spirit beasts taking a bath. At this moment, the three spirit beasts were drowsy because they had eaten too many demon cores and had not yet fully digested them.

Lu Yan patted the three of them and pointed to the stone gate beside the spring: "Wake up! See that stone gate? Break the restriction and take out the Soul-Nourishing Wood inside."

Afterwards, he sat cross-legged in the Spirit Eye Spring and began to cultivate.

The three spirit beasts: "..."

Twenty-odd days passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Yan opened his eyes from the Spirit Eye Spring and exhaled a long breath of turbid air.

That breath lingered and did not dissipate, turning into a white ribbon in the air before finally dissipating after a long time.

Late stage of foundation building.

The spiritual energy in this Spirit Eye Spring is incredibly rich; his twenty-odd days of cultivation here is equivalent to several years in the outside world.

His spiritual energy was as abundant as a river, so pure it was almost stagnant, and his divine sense also increased dramatically.

The various supernatural powers of the Great Wilderness Thunder Scripture were also mastered one by one in these twenty-odd days.

Thunderous shield.

With a thought, a light purple lightning shield appeared on his body.

This protective shield appears thin, but it is actually exceptionally tough. Ordinary magical weapons that strike it will be directly blasted away by the lightning.

If attacked by multiple people, it can hold out for a while.

If an opponent's magical weapon strikes the shield, it will be struck by lightning. At best, the weapon will be damaged; at worst, the person wielding the weapon will be electrocuted and numb all over.

Lightning Release Technique.

With a swift movement, he appeared ten zhang away. Transforming into lightning and covering a hundred zhang in an instant was an excellent means of survival.

Thunder from the Nine Heavens.

He raised his hand and pointed upwards, and a dark cloud suddenly appeared on the dome of the stone palace, with lightning rolling in the cloud and making a muffled roar.

With a flick of his finger, a bolt of lightning as thick as a water bucket crashed down, striking the floor of the stone hall.

This supernatural power summons a thundercloud when used against an enemy, drawing upon lightning to strike the opponent.

Thunder Flame Pearl.

This is a supernatural power from the "Great Wilderness Thunder Scripture".

He condensed the power of thunder and fire into a bead the size of a thumb, which was purplish-red in color and had electric arcs jumping on its surface.

Each one is equivalent to a full-force attack from a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

When facing an enemy, releasing dozens or even hundreds of them at once would be enough to overwhelm even a Core Formation cultivator.
