322 Dig Three Feet Into the Ground (2)


    In the outside world, any one of these spirit herbs would be extremely rare. Even in the grotto-heavens and blessednds, not many people were allowed to use them. However, there were several acres of them here.


    “This is definitely something that the Cangming Grotto-heaven and the Spirit Silkworm Mountain spent immense effort to collect,” Jiang Ming said to himself. However, his mood became lighter.


    Jiang Ming plucked two foundation condensation fruits the size of a raspberry and stuffed them into his mouth. He chewed twice and swallowed them.


    The pure medicinal power immediately seeped into his bones, replenishing the spiritual energy that Jiang Ming had lost in the battle.


    !!


    Most importantly, there was a trace of extremely strange medicinal power that flowed along his meridians and finally gathered in the spiritual base in his spiritual core.


    The spiritual base rotated slowly. Runes of the great cultivation flickered one after another, absorbing the medicinal power.


    Jiang Ming could clearly feel that his spiritual base was bing more and more solid and tenacious, making his cultivation more and more stable.


    “The more stable the spiritual base, the higher the sess rate of forming one’s core in the future. This is simply a thing that all Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators dream of.” Jiang Ming’s eyes flickered. He ate another one without hesitation and continued to pick all kinds of spirit herbs in the field.


    Wherever he went, he would dig three feet into the ground, not even leaving behind a single root. He would also dig out the soil used to cultivate the spirit herbs and seal it into jade boxes, waiting for the opportunity to cultivate it again in the future.


    This was not the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest from back then, where picking herbs required leaving roots behind. Jiang Ming naturally did his best to take everything he could from here.


    “The spirit herbs in this field will probably be able to support my cultivation to thete stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. I willpletely consolidate my foundation in the Foundation Establishment Realm and there will be no more ws.”


    Jiang Ming was a little happy. This was really an amazing gift. No wonder everyone liked to explore the ruins. He was already set for a few years.


    A momentter, Jiang Ming had just dug up the entire field when the ck sword suddenly shouted from the depths of the camp, “Come quickly! There’s a secret warehouse here!”


    “This guy is amazing.” Jiang Ming raised his brows and quickly strode over.


    A bronze door was sted open, and Jiang Ming stepped into the cave that was deep into the mountain.


    “As expected of a stronghold that has been operating for decades!”


    Jiang Ming’s eyes lit up with satisfaction when he saw the scene in the secret warehouse.


    This was a huge secret warehouse built into a cave. It was different from the dimness he had imagined. The secret warehouse was as bright as day. The mountain walls and the ceiling were iid with magical tools andmps, illuminating the entire ce.


    Stacks of wooden and jade boxes of various sizes were disyed in the warehouse. There were even strange stone pirs and copper tablets engraved with various runes and characters.


    “What painstaking efforts!” Jiang Ming clicked his tongue in wonder. One could imagine that more than half of the treasures in this area had probably been collected by these grotto-heavens and blessednds.


    “The stone pirs and stone statues are useless.” The ck sword circled around the ancient stone pirs and said, “However, those bronze tablets and other metal products are not ordinary metal. They have not rusted after ten thousand years. We can keep some. In the future, when we refine array formations, we can use them as building materials. The effects will be extraordinary.”


    When Jiang Ming heard this, there was nothing to think twice about. He immediately waved his hand and put all those things into his storage ring.


    “Hmm? This jade tablet…” The ck sword suddenly stopped in front of a jade tablet that was as tall as a person, and a strange expression appeared on its face.


    The jade tablet was pale and square. There were hundreds of faint golden runes carved on the surface of the tablet. It seemed to be an unknown scripture.


    Jiang Ming followed it and stopped in front of the jade tablet. Looking at the runes on the tablet, he was also stunned. “These runes… I think I saw them back in the cave where I met you.”


    Moreover, Jiang Ming remembered that the spells cast by the two genius disciples from the Chasing Moon Lake seemed to contain these mysterious runes that he had never seen before.


    “These are extremely ancient symbols. They were discovered in an ancient ruin during thest era,” the ck sword exined. “My former master wanted to use these runes to survive. Although he failed, these runes contain an extremely divine power.”


    Jiang Ming was stunned. Was it possible that the origins of the Chasing Moon Lake were more terrifying than everyone imagined?


    Lu Xiaoyu had been epted as a disciple by the Chasing Moon Lake. He did not know whether it was good or bad.


    “However, I’ve never seen this jade tablet before!” The ck sword then slowly said, “The runes that Master discovered back then numbered only a few dozen. They were recorded on a piece of decaying wood. The symbols on this jade tablet might have a much more shocking origin than the ones Master found back then.”


    “Friend, can you interpret it?” Jiang Ming’s heart was thumping, and he quickly asked.


    The owner of the ck sword back then was definitely a peerless talent. He was able to ce his hopes of passing the great tribtion on these runes before he died. From this, one could see how powerful these runes were. If he could decipher them, they would definitely have an astonishing effect.


    “No one can decipher it!” The ck sword sighed. “The origins of these runes are too mysterious. Even Master had to fumble around for hundreds of years before he figured out some uses for them. ording to what he said, these runes could only be understood and could not be exined with words. They needed to beprehended and felt by oneself. I’ve never tried doing that.”


    Jiang Ming was immediately sshed with the cold, hard truth. Even such a brilliant talent had spent hundreds of years trying to figure a few dozen runes out. Hundreds of these runes would probably take even longer.


    “However, what I do notck the most is time,” Jiang Ming muttered and put the jade tablet into his storage ring without hesitation.


    No matter what, such a treasure could not be left to others.


    Then, Jiang Ming began his sweep. He took almost everything the warehouse had to offer.


    In the end, there were only some huge stone pirs, stone statues, and so on left behind. The ck sword did not let them go to waste. It sucked out their power and devoured it.


    Jiang Ming nodded in satisfaction and strode out.


    Outside the secret warehouse, the entire array formation was almost broken. All the spiritual materials that maintained the array formation had beenpletely absorbed by the array g.


    The array g swayed and was surrounded by ayer of silvery-white light.


    Jiang Ming waved his hand, and the array g immediately descended. It shrank into a palm-sized g and fell into his hand.


    “Now, with a gentle sweep of this array g. I’m afraid I can kill a group of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators!” Jiang Ming said softly and put it away with satisfaction.


    “It’s almost time. It’s time to leave!”


    Jiang Ming looked at the messy camp and nodded in satisfaction. “No one is watching over this camp. No one will know if something is lost. Goodbye!”


    The cold wind was biting. The corpses on the ground did not answer. A few pairs of angry eyes seemed to be expressing silent protests.


    “No one objected. Looks like everyone has agreed.” Jiang Ming smiled and strode away.


    “This is a f*cking lunatic.” the ck sword burrowed into his storage ring and silently cursed. Everyone was f*cking dead. Who could object?


    In the distance, terrifying mes filled the sky. They could not see the end, and wisps of power came over, making people’s hearts palpitate.


    “Is that another region?” Jiang Ming stood in the sky above a snowy valley and looked into the distance. His eyes were solemn.


    ording to the information he had obtained over the past few days, that should be an area of a higher level. It was closer to the core of the ck Rock Ruins and could amodate Golden Core Realm cultivators.


    Of course, Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators could also enter, but the danger there was much greater. Even Golden Core Realm cultivators could die. Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were no different from ants if they entered.


    “What is Wu Hen doing here?” Jiang Ming’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked in front of the snowy valley.


    This direction was heading toward the Golden Core Realm area.
