“Oh, it's something our ancestor left behind.” Ye Chenming quickly took the white wooden box and carefully examined it.
After a moment, he seemed to see something and took out the fiery red seal. “Senior Zhang, it seems to have been sealed with a blood curse by our ancestor. I can't guarantee I can open it, but this junior has this token and can try.”
Zhang Ling casually waved his hand, letting him try. He had already gained a lot from sorting out these treasures. Even if the box couldn't be opened, he wouldn't lose anything.
Ye Chenming circulated his spiritual power, making the white wooden box float in front of him. He spat out a mouthful of essence blood, which entered the fiery red seal, and began to cast a spell.
As the fiery red seal flew up and down, it shot out some blood-colored runes, which entered the wooden box, causing the spiritual patterns on it to react. They rearranged themselves.
Within a few breaths, the spiritual patterns on the box transformed into pale golden floral patterns. With a click, it opened. Zhang Ling instantly saw what was inside: two blue jade slips, a bronze token, and a scroll.
With a sweep of his divine sense, the two jade slips floated up, and he unceremoniously checked the information inside.
One of the jade slips recorded a dual-attribute cultivation technique called 'Wind Fire Art,' which was also a top-tier technique. This was the main cultivation technique of the Ye family's ancestor.
Zhang Ling had obtained some information about the Ye family's ancestor from the information he had obtained by soul-searching Ye Chenming.
The Ye family's ancestor was quite extraordinary. Although he had dual spiritual roots, he also possessed a special spiritual body called the Wind Fire Body. It seemed that he had successfully advanced to become a Nascent Soul cultivator by relying on this spiritual body.
The other jade slip actually contained a lot of cultivation insights, which made Zhang Ling very happy. This was exactly what he needed right now.
He studied it absorbedly for a quarter of an hour. While fiddling with the two jade slips, his mind was still immersed in them.
This jade slip recorded many insights from the Wind Fire Ancestor's cultivation, and also a section of the Wind Fire Ancestor's insights when he formed his Nascent Soul.
He was now also a Nascent Soul cultivator, but he didn't actually know much about the Nascent Soul realm. This insight was no less helpful to Zhang Ling than other treasures.
Such cultivation insights, apart from inheritance between master and disciple and family inheritance, could not be found anywhere else. In addition, the last part of this insight recorded the method for refining the Ice Soul Poison.
The Ice Soul Poison passed down by the Ye family was actually only a part of this secret technique and was incomplete.
The complete Ice Soul Poison was a kind of cold poison secret technique that could be directly used for attack, and it was a powerful attack method against Nascent Soul cultivators.
This kind of cold poison was refined from several ice-attribute poisonous herbs, such as Ice Serpent Grass and Snow Mist Flower. But these poisonous herbs were only auxiliary materials.
The main material of Ice Soul Poison was Ice Soul Jade. This was a top-grade ice-attribute spiritual mine with very low yield. Only one or two pieces could occasionally be found in Millennium Ice Jade.
This also reminded Zhang Ling of the black ice thorns that the Wind Fire Ancestor's divine sense used to attack him before entering the treasure house. Those black ice thorns had extremely cold power, which damaged his flying sword.
If he remembered correctly, Ice Soul Jade seemed to be a kind of black profound ice. In this way, those black ice thorns might have been transformed from complete Ice Soul Poison.
A dozen black ice thorns could damage his natal flying sword. If there were more ice thorns at that time, it could indeed pose a considerable threat to Nascent Soul cultivators.
And this Ice Soul Poison could be refined by any cultivator, as long as they could withstand the coldness.
During the refining process, several ice-attribute poisonous herbs and Ice Soul Jade had to be absorbed into the body for refining, and they had to be stained with one's own blood to be used better, which had certain risks.
Therefore, ordinary cultivators could not successfully cultivate it. Only Nascent Soul cultivators could suppress these cold poisons with their powerful spiritual power, refine them, and use them as attack methods.
Of course, this was talking about the complete Ice Soul Poison.
The Wind Fire Ancestor had a lot of research on Ice Soul Poison, and the jade slip also recorded a simplified Ice Soul Poison.
That is, it does not require Ice Soul Jade, nor does it need to be refined in the body. Only Ice Serpent Grass, plus several yin-cold attribute poisonous herbs, are used to prepare the simplified Ice Soul Poison.
According to the age of the poisonous herbs, it is also divided into several grades.
What Ye Chenming was poisoned with was this simplified cold poison. What he said before about refining three-hundred-year-old Ice Soul Poison actually referred to the age of the poisonous herbs used.
However, even if thousand-year-old spiritual herbs are used to refine the Ice Soul Poison, its power can only reach 60% to 70% of the complete Ice Soul Poison.
This simplified version of Ice Soul Poison is also relatively easy to resolve. The Warm Yang Pill developed by the Ye family can suppress it well, and several fire-attribute spiritual medicines, and some Warm Yang-like precious jade can also remove the cold poison.
Nascent Soul cultivators are not afraid of this simplified version of cold poison at all, and can easily resolve it with the spiritual power in their bodies.
Now that he has obtained the refining method of Ice Soul Poison, Zhang Ling immediately decided to let the Black Turtle also refine this cold poison and use it as a means.
The Black Turtle is originally an ice-attribute creature, and it should be able to exert more power by using this cold poison. It is easy to say about other spiritual medicine materials, but Ice Soul Jade is difficult to collect.
Zhang Ling just smiled at this. Although it can be collected, as long as you are willing to spend spirit stones, you can occasionally find some Ice Soul Jade in some large markets, so he is not worried about this issue.
Then he looked at the other two items placed in the wooden box, a bronze token and a scroll.
When he was checking the jade slips, Ye Chenming put the white wooden box on the ground. He sat beside him with a dazed expression, as if he was in a daze. Zhang Ling ignored him, and with a wave of his hand, the token and scroll flew in front of him.
The token was engraved with strange patterns and some bird and beast patterns. There were no words on it, and it was unknown what it was for. But when his divine sense fell on it, the token trembled slightly, and a piece of information came over, allowing Zhang Ling to understand the use of this thing.
It turned out that this was a Cloud Cang Pavilion merchant alliance token. But unlike ordinary merchant alliances, Cloud Cang Pavilion was actually a merchant alliance controlled by the demon race.
The information introduced that Cloud Cang Pavilion only does top-notch transactions. The items sold are also top-quality spiritual objects. And it is usually not open. The opening time is also uncertain. Once it opens, this token will provide some guidance.
Zhang Ling felt a little strange. He had never heard of such a merchant alliance before. But thinking about it, it made sense. There are many demon cultivators who can transform into human form, so naturally there are some transactions and sales.
After putting away the token, his eyes turned to the last scroll. It was a thin silk scroll, embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns, which was very exquisite. With a whoosh, he opened the scroll, and a golden light reflected in his eyes, and dense text appeared on it.
But Zhang Ling only glanced at it, then closed the scroll again and threw it directly to Ye Chenming. It was not any cultivation technique or classic, but a list of many names. This thing was the Ye family's genealogy.
Ye Chenming also quickly took the scroll, opened it and looked at it a few times, and also showed a strange expression.
