Family Cultivation: Rise of the Wilderness

Chapter 314 Storage Bag

After leaving the tomb, Li Xiangming returned to the hot spring and checked the formation inside.

After operating for a long time without maintenance or the injection of new magic power, the Flame Spirit Refining Heart Array has become somewhat ineffective, with both the range of its influence and its effectiveness greatly reduced.

"Pity."

Li Xiangming sighed softly, a hint of regret in his eyes.

As a disciple of the True Man Zhijing, Fairy Green Cloud's judgment is beyond question.

He himself was particularly fond of this formation.

These days, the Flame Spirit Refining Heart Array has not only helped him cultivate, but has also made great contributions in the struggle against the power of the Human Core.

He believed that if such an array were set up in Tihu Cave, it would definitely elevate the overall strength of the Li family to a new level.

Unfortunately, he knew nothing about formations.

Although they obtained Fairy Green Cloud's storage bag, there was no record of the Flame Spirit Heart Refining Array inside.

This formation was either left behind by the ancients or specially arranged by Fairy Green Cloud.

Speaking of storage bags, Li Xiangming actually got a great deal.

Green Cloud Fairy often secluded herself for cultivation, so her storage bag was naturally of utmost importance. The storage bag alone was five steps in size, five times larger than the storage bag that Li Qianhe gave to Li Xiangming.

The storage bag is able to store items because it relies on a spatial magic array.

This kind of magic array is extremely rare, and is only mastered by a very small number of array masters.

When making storage bags, they would cleverly inscribe spatial magic arrays on the bag walls so that no one could see them.

If you forcibly explore it, sorry, the space inside the storage bag will immediately collapse.

By protecting the spatial arrays, these array masters have almost monopolized the production of all spatial magical artifacts.

Without the relevant inheritance, even a second-tier or third-tier array master cannot create spatial magic treasures.

Besides the magic array, the materials used to create spatial magic artifacts are equally important.

Not everything can withstand the powerful force of a spatial array.

Legend has it that during the medieval period, the cultivation world widely used meteorite jade to forge spatial magical artifacts, such as storage rings, bracelets, necklaces, and jade pendants, which appeared in endless succession.

However, today, meteorite jade has become a rare treasure and is difficult to find.

Instead, they were replaced by Cang Shen wood and Jinlu Huang silkworm silk.

Both materials inherently possess spatial properties, with the Azure God Wood being more effective, but its production is equally limited. It is said that the Azure God Wood takes a thousand years to mature, and although a single giant tree can be used to create many spatial magical artifacts, once used, it cannot be regenerated.

In comparison, the Golden Silkworm matures much faster than the Azure Godwood.

Therefore, storage bags made primarily of golden silkworm silk have gradually become the mainstream spatial artifacts.

Meanwhile, the Cang Shen wood was mainly used as an auxiliary material for expensive flying boats or shuttles.

Of course, the golden silkworm silk is not something that can be used casually.

First, there is the difficulty of carving. Carving a spatial array on the Golden Silkworm is more than ten times more difficult than carving on the Azure God Wood, which is a great test of a spatial array master's ability.

Secondly, the silk used to make storage bags must come from the first cocoons.

This means that the silk is extracted directly from the silkworm cocoon and cannot be combined and used like ordinary silk.

Once this is done, the spatial properties of the Golden Silkworm Silk will be weakened, and the success rate of inscribing spatial arrays will also drop significantly.

Because the silkworm cocoons vary in size, the space in each storage bag also varies.

However, the space difference of most storage bags is not significant, just as the size of silkworm cocoons is roughly the same.

Green Cloud Fairy's storage bag is clearly an anomaly.

Such an anomalies, when placed in the market, can often fetch a high price, far exceeding the combined value of five ordinary storage bags.

Green Cloud Fairy's storage bag also contains many good things.

What surprised Li Xiangming the most was undoubtedly a collection of rare items.

The complete heritage of Green Cloud Cave is basically here, including not only the "Little Xiaoxiang Technique", but also the "Six Yin False God Finger" that Li Xiangming longed for, as well as the "Surging Waves Splitting the Sky Palm" and the "Ice Melting Soul Technique" mentioned by Fairy Green Cloud.

In addition, there were four magical artifacts: the "Taiyin Jade Silk" commonly used by Fairy Green Cloud, a top-grade artifact; an unidentified brown iron nail; and an artifact remarkably similar to the Water Element Flag, both high-grade artifacts; and finally, an inner armor, a mid-grade artifact. The spirit stones were few, only a little over two thousand. This might be acceptable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but for a sect leader, it was rather meager.

This shows that Green Cloud Cave's finances were not ideal.

The other pills, talismans, and miscellaneous items were nothing special, so Li Xiangming glanced at them briefly and didn't keep them on his person.

In fact, if you include the Jade Marrow Crystal Lotus, the Nine-Turn Spiritual Root, and even the Ginseng and Harmony Pill, Fairy Green Cloud's storage bag is priceless.

But now, most of the valuable stuff inside is inside his stomach.

After tidying up the storage bag, Li Xiangming's mind turned to the overturned alchemy furnace.

This thing is clearly not for alchemy; it's covered in sealing runes.

It was probably prepared by Fairy Green Cloud specifically for the Enlightenment Spring.

Thinking of the Enlightenment Spring, Li Xiangming frowned slightly. He actually wanted to refine the Enlightenment Spring right now.

After all, delays can lead to unforeseen changes.

Although the Enlightenment Spring was close to him, it was unwilling to fall into depravity.

Li Xiangming tried several times, but all attempts failed.

Refining this stuff is even more difficult than refining the power of a human pill; it's estimated to be another massive project that will take years to complete.

After pondering for a while, Li Xiangming resealed the Enlightenment Spring into the alchemy furnace, placed it in Fairy Green Cloud's storage bag, and carried it with him.

His own belongings were also all transferred to the new storage bag.

The old ones will be temporarily stored in the underground cave, to be sold when the opportunity arises, or given to Li Xiangzhen, who has long desired a storage bag.

It wasn't that Li Xiangming didn't want to bring an extra storage bag.

Instead, they wear two or more storage bags for a long time. The spaces between them conflict with each other, and there is a chance that spatial rifts will be generated, which will autonomously swallow the items inside.

The key is that you know nothing about it.

If you don't check your storage bag for ten days or half a month and find it completely empty, that would be quite amusing.

With the Enlightenment Spring within him, Li Xiangming was unwilling to take even the slightest risk.

After dealing with the matters inside the cave, Li Xiangming lifted the restriction on the cave entrance and went outside.

He immediately spread his divine sense out, but found nothing.

Zhang Min is not here.

However, Li Xiangming was not surprised. Although he did not know how long he had been in seclusion, it was still quite a long time.

Zhang Min did not come to see him during this time.

He then realized that this senior sister had most likely left ahead of time.

After glancing around a few times, Li Xiangming left the underground cave without lingering.
-
In the golden autumn of October, a cool breeze blows and fallen leaves flutter down.

Li Xiangming, dressed in a green robe, stared blankly at the two seals affixed to the entrance of Green Cloud Cave.

The seals were crossed, with the word "ban" at the top being particularly eye-catching, and the four large characters "kaifeng is a crime" in the middle conveying a stern warning.

Of course, what really caught Li Xiangming's attention was the crescent moon mark at the very bottom.

If he wasn't mistaken, this should be the sect mark of the Hengyue Sect.

Ten years ago, Li Xiangming entered Pu County with the clearance documents given to him by Hengyue Gate.

He was very familiar with this mark.

Why would Hengyue Sect interfere in the affairs of Green Cloud Cave?

And
Looking at the golden core magic power flowing on the seal, a trace of apprehension flashed in Li Xiangming's eyes.

I thought that after I reached the Foundation Establishment stage, I could enjoy some glory.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped out, I witnessed the work of a Golden Core cultivator.
