This ruin, actually, their Void Beast tribe has explored, but the areas they could understand were limited. If there were any opportunities, they would certainly be with the Six-tailed Golden Flame Fox.

But that’s a Divinity Transformation Stage creature, intruding into its territory and acting under its nose, isn’t that courting death?

Since we can’t go there, we’ll have to rely on the relic map drawn by Xu Dezhi before and search again.

"You want to continue exploring here."

Upon learning of Lu Ping and the others’ intent, the Void Beast leader did not wish to continue following. Those unknown relic areas didn’t hold much interest for them.

The treasures here, like the Five Elements Spiritual Treasure, Spirit Eye Divine Tree, etc., have little effect on them.

Consider the Five Elements Spiritual Treasure; carrying it and using it actually hinders their invisibility and use of Void Divine Techniques.

It’s not just them; other demon beasts in the relic aren’t very interested in the Magical Artifacts and Divine Tree opportunities here.

The stronger the demon beast’s power, the more they can rely on their own bloodline and racial talents to enhance their strength without needing external items.

That’s why, after so long, the five Five Elements Spiritual Treasures in the Ancient Hall have been preserved until now, giving Lu Ping and the others a chance to obtain them.

"Do you want to join in the next exploration?"

Lu Ping smiled faintly and asked the Void Beast leader, inviting them to join. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

After all, the Void Beasts have considerable power, and if danger arises, they would be great allies in battle.

"Can I refuse?"

The Void Beast leader just paused for a moment, then spoke: "The relic areas farther away, we have no interest."

Hearing this, Lu Ping did not insist, and directly asked with a smile: "What’s your name?"

"Do you think we’ll have a chance to meet again in the future?"

The Void Beast leader asked rhetorically, then replied: "I am Void Spirit."

"Void Spirit."

Lu Ping murmured and nodded, "Perhaps we’ll have a chance to meet again in the future, I am Lu Ping."

Then he informed them of his name, released the Spirit Manipulation Technique constraints, and freed Void Spirit.

"You can control me, even restrain our small clan, you are quite impressive, your prestige among the Human Race must be high."

Feeling the control dissipate, Void Spirit gave Lu Ping a deep look, but did not take advantage, instead showing interest in Lu Ping’s identity and background.

"Hehe, I am just a modest Nascent Soul Cultivator among the Human Race. If you leave this ruin someday and don’t know where to go, you can come to Cyan Mountain Sect in Lingxi State, Chu Kingdom. I’ll provide you with a place to live."

Lu Ping intended to recruit these Void Beasts.

He wasn’t worried they’d hold a grudge against him.

While manipulating Void Spirit, he could perceive its emotional changes and know if there was murderous intent towards him.

Void Spirit silently memorized the address given by Lu Ping.

"Farewell then."

After one last look at Lu Ping, it led a group of Void Beasts away, disappearing into the void without a trace.

Watching the Void Beasts vanish, Zhang Tianqun hesitated for a moment but couldn’t help asking: "Lu Daoist, where are they heading?"

They couldn’t understand a word of Lu Ping’s conversation with Void Spirit, so they could only ask to understand.

"They’ve left, and the remaining exploration will be up to us."

Lu Ping replied, turning to Xu Dezhi to inquire about any unexplored blue dot areas nearby.

Xu Dezhi had drawn many red and blue dots on the ground.

Red dots were danger zones, so it wasn’t necessary to risk them.

Blue dot areas could be worth checking out.

Learning the Void Beast tribe had already left, Jiuhua True Monarch and others nodded slowly. This time they followed Lu Ping and received some opportunities through Void Beast guidance, and were satisfied.

The group spent three to four months continuously exploring the ruin, acquiring some Spiritual Herbs and Medicines, rare and exotic ores, and endured several demon beast attacks, all safely passing.

After this exploration, they finally completed it, leaving only the Six-tailed Golden Flame Fox’s territory unexplored.

They speculated that the creature’s territory occupied one-sixth of the entire ruin.

This wasn’t a small area, but given the creature’s formidable power, it was not something they could afford to provoke.

Once, just over half a month ago, they saw a mid-stage Nascent Soul Blood-winged Griffin enter the Six-tailed Golden Flame Fox’s territory and was incinerated by its Golden Flame Demon Fire.

This massive disparity in power left them intimidated, completely dispelling any thoughts of daring to enter the Thunder Pool.

During this period, Zhang Tianqun and others, out of curiosity, asked Lu Ping about the Spirit Eye Divine Tree’s origins and the uses of the Divine Spring Essence Water and its cut branches.

Upon learning the answers, they were all delighted, grateful they had collected some at that time.

With the ruin explored, the five had no further intention to linger.

Lu Ping used the Great Five Elements Breaking Forbidden Technique, opened one corner of the Array Restriction, and hence they flew out of the Ancient Ruins.

Heaven-Reaching Shuttle flew over the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and a few days later, left that mountainous area.

After exchanging some pleasantries, Zhang Tianqun individually sent Lu Ping, Jiuhua True Monarch, and the others back to Cyan Mountain Sect and Jiuhua Sect before returning to Dubhe Institute.

Over four months later, returning to Cyan Mountain Sect, the scene here hadn’t changed since his departure.

After notifying Lu Yuanshan, Shanshan, and others, Lu Ping directly entered the Sect Hall to begin inventorying the harvest of this journey.

Five Elements Spiritual Treasure, puppet guards, Red Bright Nine Heavens Flame, Water Jade Bee and honey, Spirit Eye Divine Tree branches, Divine Spring Essence Water, Spiritual Herbs and Medicines, various demon beast eggs and ores, and the Divine Court Heart-Focusing Sword.

Lu Ping’s gaze first fell upon the Five Elements Spiritual Treasure.

This is a Lifebound Magical Treasure of a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator, not meant for sale.

Even in battles between Same Tier cultivators, if one is slain and acquires such Spiritual Treasures, it wouldn’t be allowed to circulate externally; it’d be used and transformed into a Magical Artifact for themselves.

The five Spiritual Treasures in the relic were all refined by Divine Absolute Power, nurtured as Spiritual Treasures left in the relic, awaiting a destined seeker.

This treasure belongs to the Gold Attribute, and upon extraction, it emits immense power, constantly changing forms.

Facing a Spiritual Treasure for the first time, Lu Ping wasn’t quite sure how to refine it, but fortunately, he had an experienced elder to consult.

"This Divinity Transformation cultivator’s Spiritual Treasure, with your mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, you can’t refine and use it yet."

Void Celestial Extreme Saint’s avatar remarked seriously.

"Remember those Divine Spring Essence Waters? Perhaps you can try refining them first, advancing your cultivation to the late-stage Nascent Soul, increasing the possibility of refining the Spiritual Treasure."
