Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 286 Imitating "Duan De" and Source Technique

After arranging everything at home and leaving cultivation resources for his family, Yuan Changqing set off on his journey once again.

This time, Yuan Changqing intends to emulate Duan De, a great achiever in the field of "archaeology".

As the saying goes: A man cannot get rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot get fat without night grass.

Just look at Duan De, who's making a name for himself in the Beidou "archaeology" field; he's a truly incredibly wealthy man.

Now that Yuan Changqing has found the sacred soil in Kunlun Mountain, there is no problem with his cultivation.

However, other aspects are severely lacking. So, where do these things come from?

This requires obtaining it from predecessors. Although it's unknown whether those people had anything good, as long as we can find where they buried it, it will surely enrich Yuan Changqing's collection.

The first place Yuan Changqing planned to go was Shaanxi Province.

The land of Shaanxi is no ordinary place; it is not only one of the birthplaces of humankind, but also the location of the capital of many dynasties.

Moreover, there are many legends from the pre-Qin period, indicating that there were probably quite a few cultivators during that time.

It is said that there were quite a few Qi cultivators active during the pre-Qin period, so there must be many residences built by cultivators for themselves after death here.

However, thousands of years have passed, and the world has changed. Now, so much time has gone by, Yuan Changqing can only search slowly to find what he is looking for.

...

When Yuan Changqing arrived in Shaanxi, he found himself at a loss, since he had no target.

So Yuan Changqing could only try his luck. Since he didn't have any specific target, he decided to go to uninhabited places or deep in the mountains and forests.

Combining this with one's own understanding of feng shui from a past life, one can always stumble upon something by sheer luck.

After all, there are professionals like Source Masters or Source Earth Masters in the world of Shrouding the Heavens.

These professionals are similar in nature to Feng Shui masters, except that Yuan Tianshi involves more aspects.

Moreover, powerful Source Celestial Masters or Source Earth Masters can use dragon veins to enhance their abilities in combat, something that Feng Shui masters cannot do.

Once he had the idea, Yuan Changqing didn't hesitate and immediately began to act.

Afterwards, Yuan Changqing found several more sites and conducted some protective "archaeological" work, but these were not the sites Yuan Changqing was looking for.

In the end, although somewhat disappointed, we had no choice but to continue the search; we wouldn't give up until we found our target.

...

"It's really not easy. We've finally found a clue. Now, we should go and take a look."

At this moment, Yuan Changqing, covered in dust and dirt, stood at the entrance of a fresh cave, holding a piece of animal skin in his hand and said happily.

This is a map that Yuan Changqing obtained from here, along with some other things, but none of that is important.

The important thing is that Yuan Changqing obtained a clue, which turned out to be the burial place of a cultivator.

After quickly tidying up the area, Yuan Changqing set off to search for the location of the animal hide paper.

After Yuan Changqing appeared in another place, they finally found the location by comparing the patterns on the animal skin paper.

Yuan Changqing looked around, holding the animal skin paper in one hand and observing it carefully.

"This should be the place. We should move in now. However, we don't know what's inside yet. We need to be careful this time, lest we be caught off guard."

Afterwards, Yuan Changqing took out various materials from his storage ring and first set up an array outside to prevent any accidents.

If an accident were to occur, these pre-arranged formations might actually be able to save lives.

Yuan Changqing is currently just a minor cultivator at the Divine Bridge Realm, so it's never too much to be cautious. After all, better safe than sorry.

After setting up the formation, Yuan Changqing picked up a shovel and began to work.

After some effort, a passage appeared, leading to a stone gate, where Yuan Changqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After opening the stone door, Yuan Changqing felt a chill and involuntarily shivered.

Then, the flames inside Yuan Changqing's body surged out, and the chilling feeling finally disappeared.

"Hiss, I wonder how much yin energy has accumulated in here. It's damn cold. It seems my earlier thinking was right; being cautious was definitely the right thing to do."

After waiting for a while, Yuan Changqing walked directly into the stone gate. Once inside, apart from feeling a chilling atmosphere, he didn't encounter any obstacles.

This was truly unexpected for Yuan Changqing. However, he feared that something unusual was amiss, and that danger might be lurking behind him.

Finally, we arrived at a spacious place, like a plaza, where the walls were covered with illustrations of mythical beasts.

Some looked up to the sky and roared, some spread their wings and flew high, and so on.

Moreover, there were many things in the square that shone brightly, like luminous pearls, illuminating the square.

Besides these patterns, in the center there is a high platform on which a huge stone coffin is placed.

After arriving here, Yuan Changqing carefully observed the area and discovered that the stone coffin was surrounded by array patterns, protecting it from disturbance.

In front of the stone coffin was a stone table with several stone boxes on it, the contents of which were currently unknown.

After seeing the stone boxes, Yuan Changqing felt that what he needed this time should be inside those stone boxes.

However, to obtain these items, we first need to decipher the array patterns.

Afterwards, Yuan Changqing took out the materials, formed hand seals, and continuously infused array patterns into some of the materials. These were all used to break the array.

Once everything was ready, Yuan Changqing began to insert the artifact he had made into the node of the formation. Then, he formed hand seals and changed them continuously, causing the formation to stop operating instantly.

Taking advantage of the moment when the formation stopped operating, Yuan Changqing waved his hand and opened all the stone boxes on the stone table.

In that very instant, the formation began to operate again, and all the stone boxes within it were opened.

Inside the stone box were a bronze bell, a piece of jade (which appeared to be a material for refining weapons), and several rolls of animal hides.

However, it seems that none of the opened stone boxes showed anything unusual, indicating that nothing had been tampered with.

So, Yuan Changqing formed hand seals again, and when the formation stopped again, he waved his hand and took everything from the stone box.

After obtaining these items, Yuan Changqing looked at the stone coffin at the top with a somewhat shifty expression, seemingly lost in thought.

However, in the blink of an eye, Yuan Changqing turned around and quickly left.

Yuan Changqing hadn't gone far when he heard an angry roar coming from behind.

Upon hearing the roar, Yuan Changqing moved even faster. After arriving at the stone gate ahead, he quickly passed through the previous passage and landed on the ground as the Dragon-Slaying Stone was lowered.

Standing at the cave entrance, listening to the faint roars still audible inside, Yuan Changqing used his supernatural powers. A burst of yellow light continuously emerged from the ground, and the cave entrance disappeared.

Afterwards, Yuan Changqing quickly activated the formation he had set up there before and hurriedly left.

At the same time, Yuan Changqing thought to himself, "Luckily, I didn't get greedy and try to open that stone coffin. Damn it, there was no tampering with those stone boxes. They were probably trying to fish me out."

The owner of that stone coffin probably never anticipated that Yuan Changqing would ultimately not touch it, causing his scheme to fail at the last minute.

At the time, Yuan Changqing was tempted, but then he thought that since he had already gained something, there was no need to take such a big risk.

After all, Yuan Changqing thought that his strength was undeniable, and if he became greedy, he might very well end up here.

...

After running a long distance, Yuan Changqing stopped at a random place.

After taking out the items he had collected from his storage ring, Yuan Changqing looked at them with a mixture of relief and satisfaction.

After picking up the bronze bell and examining it carefully, Yuan Changqing discovered that it was actually a divine weapon of the powerful level. However, the divine patterns inside had become dim, which was probably due to the long passage of time. The divine weapon had not been properly nurtured and had begun to decay.

If we hadn't encountered Yuan Changqing this time, this powerful divine weapon might have ended up as scrap metal.

Subsequently, Yuan Changqing took the bronze bell into his Sea of ​​Bitterness and nurtured it with his divine power.

Then, Yuan Changqing looked at the jade stone, which was about the size of a human head. He didn't know its exact name, but it might be one of the Nine Heavens Divine Jade.

After putting down the jade, Yuan Changqing picked up the several rolls of animal hides again. This time, he was pleasantly surprised. In addition to cultivation techniques, there was even a roll about source techniques.

The cultivation technique I obtained this time is called the "Red Sun Scripture," which is a technique that can be cultivated to the level of a great master.

So, judging from this technique, if the person in the stone coffin was practicing the "Red Sun Scripture," then he was very likely a powerful figure.

After reading the "Red Sun Scripture" once, Yuan Changqing felt that its meaning was still of reference value to him.

Moreover, Yuan Yue'er can now focus on cultivating this "Red Sun Scripture" without worrying about not having a suitable cultivation method.

Afterwards, Yuan Changqing looked at the scroll about Origin Techniques. It also explained that this Origin Technique was a part of the Origin Techniques scripture left behind by the Tribulation-Crossing Celestial Venerable.

With this source technique, Yuan Changqing's shortcomings in this area can be well compensated, and it will also be more helpful in understanding the great emperor formations in Kunlun Mountain.

Moreover, there is also an array set up by the Underworld Emperor in Kunlun Mountain. As far as Yuan Changqing knows, the Tribulation Transcending Celestial Venerable and the Underworld Emperor are the same person, just constantly reincarnating, which is also a kind of cultivation.
