Chapter 293 - Chapter 293: Chapter 286 Immortal Brief _1 (2/2)

Ordinary people might not sense this trace of spirit power, but holding it in hand felt cool and comfortable.

This type of jade slip is known in the cultivation world as an Immortal Scroll.

It is made from a kind of jade that contains Spirit Qi, so it is quite valuable.

It is much more expensive than ordinary jade.

In fact, all jade is the essence of the earth and sky, containing a trace of the world’s Spirit Qi.

But there are strong and weak ones.

Good jade, with Spirit Qi sealed inside, won’t lose it for ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand years.

Ordinary mortal jade starts to lose its contained Spirit Qi from the moment it is mined.

Until it is depleted.

The kind of jade that can seal Spirit Qi inside is called Spirit Jade.

The cultivation world also refers to it as Spirit Stone.

This type of jade is extremely rare, and even a small piece appearing in the Mortal Realm could incite bloody battles among various powers.

Usually, at the center of a jade mine, there will be a jade core.

It is essentially the heart of the entire jade mine.

Radiating outwards from this central point, it forms a vein of jade ore.

This is because jade is formed over countless years, nourished by the Spirit Qi of the land.

And Spirit Qi underground typically flows like rivers, which is why jade mines often have a long, strip-like shape.

The location of the jade core is typically also the site of a Spirit Qi spring.

In the Mortal Realm, when powerful families mine jade ore, they might hit a stroke of immense luck and find a source of Spirit Qi that has not entirely dried up. Then, faint traces of Spirit Qi would emerge from the spring.

If a family encounters such good fortune and can keep the news secret, in less than a century, they would become the most powerful clan locally.

Because they can establish a hidden cultivation site above the Spirit Qi source for their clan members to cultivate in.

Cultivating in such an environment rich in Spirit Qi accelerates progress, often by several or even more than ten times compared to the outside world.

This is precisely why Qin Niu, upon discovering that cultivating under the Ancient Banyan Tree was twenty times more effective than the outside world, refused to divulge this secret.

He didn’t even allow Wang Wanyan or Tang Caixian to cultivate there.

He was well aware that once the secret was out, not just the powerful families of the Black Tiger Gang and the Gang Leader, but even Immortal Masters from the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect might make a move to snatch it.

In that case, he, a minor character, would be crushed outright.

He examined the Immortal Scroll in his hands carefully, unable to put it down.

Those who use ordinary jade slips for recording are considered craftsmen.

Those capable of recording with an Immortal Scroll are at least at the Immortal Master level. Ordinary people couldn’t even dream of using Immortal Scrolls for recording.

This is a very advanced method of record-keeping.

An Immortal Scroll, even after thousands or tens of thousands of years, will not undergo any changes. The content recorded inside will never become unclear or disappear.

Cultivation Techniques, Immortal Techniques, and so on from the Immortal Sects are all recorded on Immortal Scrolls.

His heart pounded.

To say he wasn’t excited would be a lie. If it recorded the Cultivation Techniques and Spells of the Immortal Sect, and he learned them, the benefits would be endless.

To access the content of an ordinary jade slip, one just needs to focus and read the inscriptions on the surface.

To obtain the content inside an Immortal Scroll, however, requires the use of one’s consciousness to read it.

Fortunately, he had seen related records in a book, and now, holding the Immortal Scroll against his forehead, he tried to access its contents.

As his spiritual power entered the Immortal Scroll, the information flooded his brain like a tide.

It was much more efficient than reading with the eyes.

In an instant, he had grasped all the content recorded inside the Immortal Scroll.

And it was directly imprinted in his brain.

This experience was particularly extraordinary.

“So this is the legendary method of accessing an Immortal Scroll with divine consciousness,” he mused with a wry smile, feeling enlightened.
