Jiang Li's eyes lit up at the discovery of an auxiliary martial art.
Such auxiliary martial arts were even rarer than offensive ones, and this one specifically enhanced the eyes. Once mastered, it would greatly boost combat prowess.
The martial art's contribution to combat effectiveness was no less than some offensive techniques.
It could even be superior. Imagine two combatants of equal realm; if you could observe your opponent more meticulously,
their attack patterns, angles, and even fluctuations in spiritual energy would be laid bare before your eyes.
Such a battle would undoubtedly grant you a significant advantage.
Combat effectiveness wasn't solely dependent on offensive power; observing the situation and seizing the opportune moment to strike were also extremely crucial.
Mastering this martial art, with its keen observation skills, would lead to a substantial improvement in combat ability.
Furthermore, it would be incredibly effective for general reconnaissance.
Despite being a Xuan-tier high-grade martial art, its value was comparable to ordinary Di-tier martial arts.
Who knew killing a few petty thieves would yield such a reward. Excellent.
It seemed this fellow had relied on this martial art to discover his many treasures, which led him to attack.
After all, under the observation of this martial art, he might have seen something during his journey.
Unfortunately, he had overestimated his own strength.
If another cultivator at the first level of Qi Gathering encountered these individuals, they would likely be doomed.
However, he was at the second level of Qi Gathering and had mastered a powerful body-tempering martial art.
These people died without complaint.
Following this, Jiang Li collected all the spoils of war from these individuals.
Their combined haul was considerable, including many spiritual herbs and elixirs.
However, they were all of low value, with quantity far outweighing quality.
Never mind... obtaining a Xuan-tier auxiliary martial art was already a good deal, Jiang Li thought to himself.
After tidying up the items, Jiang Li immediately resumed his journey towards the cave dwelling of the Divine Sea realm expert.
After the recent slaughter, no one dared to provoke Jiang Li along the way.
Even if some individuals were eyeing him with ill intentions, the faint scent of blood emanating from Jiang Li's person deterred most of them.
...
A secluded jungle.
This was a jungle located to the east of the Monster Beast Mountain Range.
It was extremely quiet all around, with no monster beasts or members of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect present.
Compared to other places outside, this area was like a park from his previous life, not tainted by excessive bloodshed.
This Divine Sea realm expert truly knew how to find a good spot; finding such a place, Jiang Li mused.
The spiritual energy in the jungle was more concentrated than in other areas.
Moreover, it was incredibly quiet, with no creatures to disturb the peace.
If not for the map guiding him, Jiang Li would never have imagined such a place existed within the Monster Beast Mountain Range.
Subsequently, Jiang Li slowly navigated through the jungle, following the memories of the treasure map he possessed.
After some time, Jiang Li finally found a waterfall deep within the jungle.
Is the cave dwelling behind this waterfall?
Jiang Li muttered to himself, looking at the continuously cascading waterfall.
The immense torrent flowed down the mountainside, and the sound of the waterfall was exceptionally crisp.
Jiang Li took a deep breath, then circulated his spiritual energy. Simultaneously, he activated the Stellar Body Tempering Art.
Jiang Li leaped and plunged directly into the waterfall.
It was indeed behind the waterfall. The moment Jiang Li entered the waterfall, he saw a hidden cave dwelling.
Upon entering behind the waterfall, Jiang Li felt a surge of dense spiritual energy.
"Hiss... even such a hidden place has been discovered?" Jiang Li's eyes widened.
He saw numerous white bones scattered at the entrance of the cave dwelling, some already turned to dust.
A faint scent of decay permeated the air near the entrance.
Too bad, this cave dwelling was prepared for me, Jiang Li sneered.
A road covered in grid-like markings led to the entrance of the cave dwelling.
There were many scattered bones on the road as well, some headless, some without hands.
Most of them were incomplete, clearly victims of traps at the entrance.
The treasure map Jiang Li obtained contained detailed safe routes.
Following the safe route in his mind, Jiang Li carefully stepped onto the correct path and slowly approached the cave dwelling.
As he ventured further into the passage, Jiang Li could feel the surging spiritual energy emanating from within.
There must be something good, Jiang Li held his breath and slowly approached the cave dwelling.
Soon, Jiang Li finally reached the entrance.
The gate of the cave dwelling was made of massive stones, covered in dust.
To the left and right of the gate, there were rotating discs.
First, turn the left disc two rounds, then turn the right disc four rounds.
Following the memory in his mind, Jiang Li slowly turned the discs.
"Ka Ka Ka!!!"
As the discs rotated, faint rumbling sounds echoed.
Alright, it should be fine.
Jiang Li took a deep breath and pushed open the cave dwelling's gate with force.
As soon as the gate opened, an ancient and profound aura rushed out, instantly enveloping Jiang Li. Su Dan Novel Network.
The dense spiritual energy within caused Jiang Li's body to automatically circulate the [Heaven and Earth Creation Art].
Such rich spiritual energy, Jiang Li's body thirstily devoured the spiritual energy within the cave dwelling.
The vortex in his body also spun faster and faster with the influx of spiritual energy.
Jiang Li's body trembled slightly due to the surging spiritual energy.
After a while, Jiang Li finally adapted to the violent spiritual energy within the cave dwelling.
Having adapted to the spiritual energy, Jiang Li discovered a spiritual liquid pool in the center of the cave dwelling.
The spiritual energy within had already condensed into a tangible form.
The spiritual energy of the cave dwelling was supplied by this spiritual liquid pool.
I've struck it rich... Jiang Li looked at the constantly emitting spiritual liquid pool and felt a surge of exhilaration.
This spiritual liquid pool should be enough for him to break through to the Core Formation realm.
Furthermore, the spiritual liquid itself was of extremely high value and could be exchanged for various rare resources.
This small pool of spiritual liquid... I've truly struck it rich.
Under the influence of the vast spiritual energy from the spiritual liquid pool, the entire cave dwelling was like a heavenly realm.
Mists swirled everywhere.
Jiang Li took a deep breath of the spiritual energy from the spiritual liquid.
The refreshing and invigorating spiritual liquid almost made Jiang Li lose himself in its embrace.
I should cultivate and enhance my strength first, Jiang Li thought.
Immediately, Jiang Li sat beside the spiritual energy pool and slowly circulated the [Heaven and Earth Creation Art] within his body.
Paired with the Innate Body, Jiang Li's internal vortex spun rapidly.
Jiang Li's aura grew stronger and stronger.
