Lu Qing stared at what was before him, his heart filled with shock.
He saw a wide and tall cavern suddenly opening up before him and Little Li.
Within the cavern, the walls around and the ground below had the quality of white jade, etched with complicated and primitive mysterious runes that looked extremely mystical.
In the middle of the cavern, there was a large stone platform.
On the platform hung a shimmering stalactite, its pointed end directly above the center of the platform.
Lu Qing was astonished by the nearly fully jade-like chamber that presented itself before him.
He had never imagined that such a peculiar place could exist within the belly of this mountain.
There was no danger like he had anticipated; instead, at the end of the cave, there was an unimaginably jade-like chamber.
Even Little Li was somewhat stunned.
It did not expect that the place it had long been thinking about would be such a glittering location.
Standing outside the Jade Cave, Lu Qing did not enter immediately.
His sense of clarity strengthened as he approached this place, and with it, a growing sense of caution.
Such an extraordinary chamber didn't seem like a natural formation at a glance.
Since it was man-made, it was difficult to say it did not have any protective measures.
Although he didn't feel any danger at the moment, he still did not want to rush in recklessly.
However, what Lu Qing did not expect was that at this moment, Little Li left his shoulder and darted towards the interior of the cavern.
"Wait a second, Little Li!"
Lu Qing shouted in alarm.
What shocked him even more was the instant flurry of Little Li about to enter the chamber; a faint light barrier flared up, intending to stop Little Li right then and there.
Just as Lu Qing thought Little Li might be injured,
A flash of dark light suddenly appeared, and the light barrier was effortlessly torn by Little Li, vanishing like a popped bubble.
Watching Little Li safely land inside the cavern, Lu Qing's mouth hung open, hardly able to believe it.
The Jade Cave was so mystical; he thought its defensive power must be formidable, but Little Li had just bypassed it with such ease.
Little Li stood inside the cavern, looking back at Lu Qing with a somewhat puzzled gaze.
It seemed to not understand what he had been shouting about just a moment ago.
Seeing that Little Li had been inside the cavern for some time with nothing else happening, Lu Qing realized that he had been overly cautious.
As a spiritual beast, Little Li had a much greater ability to sense danger than himself. Since it hadn't felt any danger, there probably really was none.
Lu Qing stepped forward and tried to walk into the cavern, unsure if the light barrier, once destroyed, could regenerate.
This time, he entered the cavern smoothly, encounter no resistance whatsoever.
Upon truly stepping into the cavern, the sense of clarity in Lu Qing's mind increased again. His spirit felt as if it had been dusted clean, and it was greatly refreshing.
When pondering any issue, his thoughts moved much quicker.
A peculiar light flashed in Lu Qing's eyes.
Even without other treasures in the cave, the sense of clarity emanating from the cavern alone was already a significant gain.
He felt that if he could cultivate here, there might be great benefits for him.
Cultivation matters could wait for later. Right now, Lu Qing was more interested in the items in the cavern.
Little Li was already restless and, seeing that he had finally entered, quickly pulled him towards the stone platform in the center.
Following Little Li's will, Lu Qing arrived at the stone platform.
The platform was half a person's height, and like the walls and ground around it, it was nearly jade-like.
Atop the stone platform, mysterious patterns were similarly engraved.
In the center was a smooth depression, filled with a liquid resembling white jade.
Seeing this liquid, Lu Qing looked up at the stalactite column hanging above the platform, speculating that the liquid must have dripped down from there.
He concentrated on the liquid on the stone platform.
After a while, a faint golden glow emerged from the white jade liquid.
[Earth Vein Spirit Liquid: A rare treasure liquid, non-toxic, and consumable.]

[This Spiritual Liquid is indeed a Rare Treasure Liquid, able to revive the dead, mend bones, extend life, and improve innate talent and potential in both humans and beasts, defying fate itself.]
[It is rumored that Magic Users, by utilizing the landscape, can inscribe Arrays, sort the earth's energy, and condense the essence of the Earth Vein to form this treasure liquid.]
[Earth Vein Spirit Liquid can be consumed directly or used to craft Elixirs; its uses are boundless.]
When Lu Qing saw the Superpower Light emerging from the white jade liquid, he was already stunned.
He never witnessed an item exhibiting golden Superpower Light before.
He knew that even Little Li, being such a miraculous spiritual beast, in his eyes, merely emitted a Red Light.
But after reading the information provided by the Superpower inspection, he was utterly dumbfounded.
Reviving the dead, mending bones!
Improving talent, increasing potential, defying fate!
Each term, if found associated with any item, would instantly turn it into a highly sought-after treasure.
Yet now, they were all used to describe the white jade liquid in the stone platform.
It clearly showed how precious the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid was!
Suddenly, Lu Qing looked at the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid with burning desire.
Such a treasure liquid truly deserved its status as a Rare Treasure; compared to it, ginseng and other herbs were completely insignificant.
It took quite a while for Lu Qing's excited heart to gradually calm down.
He stopped Little Li from wanting to scoop up the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid with its paws.
This kind of treasure liquid should not be used so carelessly; losing even a trace would be a wasteful loss that could cause immense heartache.
Taking a few deep breaths, he forced himself to calm down and temporarily removed his thoughts from the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid.
He noticed another important piece of information from the recently inspected text.
This cave had been created by a Magic User.
What sort of person could possess Mana?
Could it be the mysterious Innate Grandmaster spoken of by his master or even a higher existence?
Lu Qing's heart was thrilled beyond words.
Whichever it was, this indicated that the cultivation path of this world had a much higher ceiling than he had imagined.
For him, this was extremely good news.
After pondering for a while, Lu Qing began to examine the cave chamber.
Since this place was specifically arranged by a Magic User, perhaps there wasn't just this single chamber.
Indeed, after some searching, Lu Qing discovered a secret on one side of the chamber.
[Hidden Door: A purposely built Stone Gate, behind which seems to be a whole new world.]
[This Hidden Door has no mechanism; one simply needs to push hard to open it.]
Seeing that there was no mechanism, Lu Qing immediately stood in front of the door and, invigorating his Qi-Blood, pushed against the Hidden Door.
The Hidden Door was also made of jadeized stone, quite heavy.
Fortunately, Lu Qing was barely able to push it.
As he gradually exerted force, the Hidden Door finally began to slowly open.
