Chapter 119 - 95: Qiankun Tripod, Self-Severing a Blade
Zhou Changwang quickly entered through the gate and closed it tightly.
"How big!"
The first thing that caught his eye was a spacious courtyard; in the center of the courtyard stood a rock garden, below which was a small pond where fish swam freely.
Next, he looked around and saw a series of rooms that were ancient and charming.
Main house, secondary house, servants’ quarters, Alchemy Room, Talisman Room, study, Cultivation Secret Room... everything Zhou Changwang had in his small courtyard was present here, but it was all more spacious, arranged more suitably and comfortably.
Zhou Changwang naturally had no interest in admiring these, and went straight into the main house.
Then to the secondary house, Alchemy Room, Talisman Room...
Until he finally had a harvest in the Cultivation Room.
A golden egg.
Entirely gold-colored, about the size of an adult’s head, oval-shaped, placed atop a meditation mat in the Cultivation Secret Room.
Conveniently located at the place in the manor with the most abundant Spiritual Qi.
It’s worth mentioning that in Xue Tong’s manor, the concentration of Spiritual Qi truly lived up to the name of East District, any random spot matched the Spiritual Energy Node in his Cultivation Room.
And on the meditation mat in the Cultivation Room, the concentration of Spiritual Qi was more than twice that of his Cultivation Secret Room.
"What a place, what a place.
If I cultivate here, my cultivation efficiency should also correspondingly double.
Significantly advancing the time to reach the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation."
Zhou Changwang was filled with emotion, but he knew that even though he had Xue Tong’s manor key, he couldn’t occupy this place to cultivate indefinitely.
A day or two is fine, but staying here for long would very likely lead to being discovered, and thus cause huge trouble.
Then, he turned his gaze to the golden egg.
"I don’t know what kind of Spirit Beast or Demon Insect egg this is, but being so treasured by Xue Tong to be placed in the Cultivation Secret Room in the most abundant Spiritual Qi spot, it must be extraordinary."
Zhou Changwang made his judgment, and then he put this golden egg into a Spirit Insect Bag.
This Spirit Insect Bag was exactly one of the items he obtained from Xue Tong earlier.
He had four, because all the spirit insects on Xue Tong’s person were destroyed by him, making these Spirit Insect Bags vacant, which was quite convenient.
Immediately after, he walked out of the Cultivation Room and then entered the study.
In the study, he indeed found numerous collected books.
Mostly paper books, and some Jade Scrolls.
Some were miscellaneous discussions, some travel journals, some cultivation lectures, Magic cultivation insights, and even some exploration and research books...
Zhou Changwang skimmed through them, finding that these books had a role in broadening his knowledge.
To draw inferences.
Perhaps he could gain some inspiration in them?
So he unapologetically packed all the books into his Storage Bag.
Planning to place them in his own spacious study when he returned, adding some sophistication and depth.
Then he came to the servants’ quarters.
Initially not expecting much, upon entering the servants’ quarters, he was confronted by a Black Needle Poison Bee rushing at him.
With a swift motion, he killed the Black Needle Poison Bee.
Then Zhou Changwang stepped inside and quickly made an assessment.
This had originally been the hive of the Black Needle Poison Bees.
But since Xue Tong had collected the hive into a Spirit Insect Bag, which was now in Zhou Changwang’s possession, the wandering bee couldn’t find the hive and had been roaming the room.
This time, it seemed to have reunited with the mother bee.
After looking around, Zhou Changwang only found a large barrel of Black Needle Poison Bee honey, and beeswax and bee glue.
Don’t be fooled by the fierce nature of Black Needle Poison Bees; the honey they produce is rich in Spiritual Energy and has nourishing and beautifying properties, beloved by many female cultivators, and beeswax and bee glue are excellent supplements, having significant value.
This large barrel is worth at least several dozen Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
The second servants’ quarters also housed spirit insects, a group of scorpion insects.
Mostly no larger than the size of a baby’s fist, their stinger venom was even stronger than that of Black Needle Poison Bees, a single sting could render Innate Martial Artists powerless.
Dozens of scorpion insects, the majority reaching the Demonization level, equivalent to First-Layer Qi Cultivation practitioners.
Upon seeing Zhou Changwang, they flaunted their prowess and madly charged at him.
Instinctively, Zhou Changwang unleashed a Fireball Technique.
All turned to ash.
Then Zhou Changwang went to the manor’s backyard.
Xue Tong’s backyard should have been reserved for the potential cultivation of seven acres of Spirit Field.
But it was all desolate, overgrown with weeds, and trees growing wildly.
Moreover, spirit insects had also been specially raised here.
Numerous spirit insects, divided into five categories, arranged distinctly by thorns in five separate areas, almost untouched.
Quite uncanny.
"Array Power.
Unexpectedly, there was an array set up here.
This caused the five types of venomous insects to live separately, not fighting with each other, not conflicting, not devouring each other..."
Zhou Changwang’s eyes flashed, a hint of amazement appearing on his face.
Moreover, he found that the five types of venomous insects Xue Tong raised in the backyard were snakes, scorpions, centipedes, toads, and geckos, perfectly fitting the five poisons category.
And in the center of the area separating these five venomous insects stood a giant cauldron, taller than a person.
This cauldron was indeed the array hub.
Served to separate the five regions, allowing the five major poisonous creatures to inhabit distinct areas.
"So there really is this thing.
Top-Grade Magical Artifact, Qiankun Tripod."
Seeing the three-legged cauldron, Zhou Changwang’s face showed a joyful expression.
