Not long after, Zhang Ling came out, holding a black ring in his hand.
It looked like a copper ring, but it was actually a precious storage bracelet. The space inside was nearly twenty zhang in size, making it a high-level storage artifact.
Storage bags are the most common storage artifacts. Although high-level storage bags are not easy to refine and are worth tens of thousands of spirit stones, storage bracelets, belts, and other types of storage devices are even more precious.
Even Nascent Soul cultivators rarely possess them.
It's not that storage bracelets or similar storage devices are necessarily much more valuable than high-level storage bags. It's because storage bracelets, belts, and other items have a certain degree of concealment.
The materials for making such storage bracelets are also more precious. They were rare even in ancient times, and even rarer in the current cultivation world.
The storage belt he obtained before was even more precious than this storage bracelet. But Zhang Ling smiled upon discovering a storage bracelet in this place.
He released a wisp of divine sense and penetrated inside to check it out. After a moment, he revealed a strange expression. There weren't many things inside.
Besides a pile of crystallized spirit stones clumped together in large chunks, there were some bottles and jars. But the items inside were mostly either vaporized or turned into ashes.
Fortunately, there was a white jade box the size of a millstone, with several spirit-sealing talismans attached to it, shimmering with spiritual light and remaining in fairly good condition.
With a thought, Zhang Ling took out the millstone-sized jade box and examined it carefully. He discovered that the material of the jade box was also refined from a high-quality spiritual jade. Preserved so well, he wondered what was inside.
He became expectant.
With a flash of spiritual light in his hand, he directly removed the spirit-sealing talismans and opened the jade box with a flick of his finger. Inside were five or six jade slips, a foot-long white bone, and a small black jade bottle.
Zhang Ling was instantly drawn to the bone.
It was a foot-long bone, as thick as an arm. It was impossible to tell which part of the body it was from, but it was covered with blood-colored spiritual patterns of varying thickness, emitting a layer of eerie spiritual light. At the same time, the spiritual power fluctuations from this spiritual bone gave him a feeling of palpitation.
Could it be the spiritual bone of a transformed demon beast! Zhang Ling wondered.
This was clearly not an ordinary demon beast or desolate beast spiritual bone. With his current late-stage Golden Core strength, an ordinary spiritual bone naturally wouldn't give him this feeling of palpitation.
Moreover, after at least ten thousand years, this spiritual bone was still like it had just been taken out. That could only be because the original owner of this spiritual bone was much stronger than him, which is why he felt pressured.
After looking at it for a long time, Zhang Ling retracted his gaze and turned to look at the black jade bottle.
The jade bottle was very small, like a small medicine bottle. It was cool to the touch and engraved with some spiritual patterns. He recognized at a glance that these spiritual patterns were for better preserving the contents inside.
Zhang Ling pointed at the jade bottle, and with a soft 'poof' sound, the bottle stopper was opened. Immediately, a rich bloody aura emanated from it. Looking inside, it contained half a bottle of thick blood. The bloody aura was emitted by this blood.
Zhang Ling was stunned again. He naturally saw that this was a mass of essence blood, and he could also sense the rich turbid qi contained within. Could it be half a bottle of desolate beast essence blood, Zhang Ling guessed.
Suddenly, a rustling sound entered his ears.
Zhang Ling came back to his senses and found that the spiritual bone in the box, after he opened the bottle containing the essence blood, was actually trembling slightly, slowly flying into the air, and flying towards the bottle.
His face darkened, and with a sway of his figure, he instantly retreated several zhang, while waving his hand and casting a yellow light, covering the entire jade box.
With a soft 'thud,' the spiritual bone that was just shaking was instantly pressed into the box and stopped moving. At the same time, he put the bottle back on.
This sudden situation startled him.
Calming his mind, Zhang Ling released all of his divine sense and found that it was really just a spiritual bone, and there were no parasitic yin spirits or evil ghosts or anything like that.
What Zhang Ling feared most now was that something like a demon spirit, cultivator Nascent Soul, or remnant soul was residing on this thing.
Not long ago, he provoked a gray Nascent Soul by collecting that yellow small flag, which controlled the corpse bear.
To be on the safe side, Zhang Ling even used several secret techniques from the Underworld King Art to check for yin souls and ghosts, and there was nothing else on the spiritual bone, so he felt relieved.
Walking back to the jade box, looking at the black jade bottle and the spiritual bone, Zhang Ling realized that the essence blood in the bottle and this spiritual bone might have come from the same living being. Otherwise, it wouldn't have reacted so strongly.
Shaking his head, he then put away his thoughts and looked at the jade slips. In fact, this was what he was most interested in. If this spiritual bone hadn't been too eye-catching, he would have checked these jade slips first.
There were a total of five jade slips, each the size of a palm. Although they were old, there were some small cracks on the jade slips. But jade slips, which store information, can be explored with divine sense even if they are broken into several pieces.
They are the best tools for cultivators to preserve information.
He picked up a white jade slip and checked it. After a moment, he finished reading the information inside. Then he read the jade slips one by one, and finished reading the information on all five jade slips in a row.
Zhang Ling chuckled and patted his storage bag. A black iron piece appeared in his hand.
"Hehe, I didn't expect the text above to be ancient demon script. No wonder I couldn't recognize it before." Looking at the jade sword in his hand, he murmured.
The text engraved on this iron piece obtained from killing the blood-colored monster, which he had not recognized before, was now given an answer by these jade slips.
The text on the iron piece was written in ancient demon script.
Demon script can also be regarded as a kind of immortal script. It is said that the inheritance time is even longer than the immortal script mastered by human cultivators. It's just that even transformed demon races rarely master demon script now.
The five jade slips did not record any secret techniques or cultivation methods.
They recorded the research records of a Godly Vast Sect cultivator named Old Man Tianpu on immortal scripts. Among them, several kinds of lost immortal scripts were recorded, and ancient demon script was also recorded.
According to the translation of the text above, Zhang Ling scanned the black iron piece and instantly recognized some of the characters.
But now is not the time to study these. He smiled and put the jade box back on, and casually attached a few spirit-sealing talismans and put it into the storage bag.
After that, there was nothing else to be found in this pavilion.
After walking out, Zhang Ling went to explore other places, hoping to have other gains.
