Chapter 147: Want to learn? I'll teach you~
"Brother Qiankun, your methods are truly amazing. Can I learn from you?"
Li Qiankun smiled slightly. He patted Zhang Chulan's shoulder gently and said, "Chulan, with your talent, I'm afraid you'll need to practice for another thirty to fifty years before you can even get started. But don't worry, as long as you work hard, you'll be able to reach my level one day."
Sister Xinghua watched the two of them from the side and couldn't help but jokingly said, "Hey, Chu Lan, don't waste your energy. You?? Just forget it."
Zhang Chulan became unhappy immediately after hearing this.
"Xinghua, what do you mean? What's wrong with me, Zhang Chulan? Isn't it just raising a Gu?! I can easily control it!" Zhang Chulan angrily rejected Xinghua.
Li Qiankun didn't want to debate this too much, so he turned to Zhang Chulan and said, "Want to learn? I'll teach you~"
When she heard that Li Qiankun was willing to teach her, she immediately lost her unhappiness and followed Li Qiankun happily.
At that moment, a slight noise suddenly came from deep within the cave. Everyone stopped and looked over. They saw a mouse running back from the depths of the cave. It didn't even have a scratch on its body, as if it had just experienced a thrilling adventure.
Seeing this, Li Qiankun quickly retracted the Golden Centipede King in his hand. He narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the mouse's movements. Then he turned to the crowd and said, "It seems that there is indeed a secret in this cave. We must proceed cautiously and enter through that entrance."
Everyone nodded and cautiously followed Li Qiankun's footsteps into the cave. The cave was dark and quiet, illuminated only by the torches in their hands. The flames danced on the cave walls, casting eerie shadows that gave people a chill.
After walking for a while, a faint light suddenly appeared ahead. Zhuge Qing exclaimed in surprise, "Look, there's light ahead!" Everyone's spirits lifted, and they quickened their pace. However, as they drew closer to the light, their uneasiness grew.
Finally, they reached the end of the cave. They saw a flashlight lying on the ground, and next to it was a torn body. The body looked horrible, as if it had been torn apart by something terrible.
Zhang Chulan squatted down and examined it carefully. Then he raised his head and said solemnly, "It looks like it was torn apart by something. There really is a monster in this cave."
Li Qiankun frowned upon hearing this. He looked around, trying to find any trace of the monster. However, apart from the faint light and the remains of the deceased, the cave was completely silent, as if nothing had happened.
At that moment, Li Qiankun's eyes were drawn to a brilliant piece of jade. He walked over and examined it carefully. It emanated a faint glow, as if it contained endless mysteries. Li Qiankun exclaimed, "The value of this imperial jade is inestimable!"
Bao Er looked at the jade and a sense of familiarity flashed in her eyes. She murmured to herself, "This jade... I seem to have seen it somewhere." However, when she tried to recall the specific details, her mind came up blank.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Bao'er. They knew that although Bao'er was usually careless, her intuition was often very accurate. So, they decided to follow Bao'er and get closer to the Emperor Jade to examine it.
When they got closer, they found some mysterious characters engraved on the imperial jade. These characters were neither Chinese characters nor any other characters they had seen before. They looked very ancient and mysterious.
Zhuge Qing carefully examined the words, his brow furrowed as he struggled to decipher their meaning. After a moment, he raised his head and said, "These words are very ancient, and I have never seen them before. But they seem to be related to some kind of cultivation method or secret."
Li Qiankun's heart stirred upon hearing this. He took a deep breath and slowly extended his hands, preparing to touch this mysterious entity. Just as his fingers were about to touch the jade, a strange power surged from the jade and into his body. He felt his cultivation stirring, as if it was about to break through a bottleneck.
"What's going on?" Li Qiankun muttered to himself in surprise. He carefully felt the changes in his body, trying to understand the source of this power.
At that moment, Baoer also walked over to the jade. Curiously, she reached out and gently touched the jade. The jade instantly radiated an even brighter light, enveloping both of them.
Amidst the light, Li Qiankun felt as if he were in a mysterious space. He opened his eyes and saw a towering temple before him. Nearly a thousand people knelt densely around the temple, their attire so simple and ancient that it was impossible to discern the era from which they came.
In the center of the temple, an old man was kneeling devoutly on the ground. In front of him was the statue that Baoer had touched earlier. Li Qiankun was shocked. This statue actually looked exactly like Baoer!
He carefully observed the statue, trying to find any similarities with Baoer. However, apart from the face, he did not find any other clues. This filled him with doubts and confusion.
At this moment, Li Qiankun suddenly felt a powerful force surge from the statue and into his body. He felt his cultivation level rapidly increasing, as if it was about to break through the sky. At the same time, some vague memories appeared in his mind, which seemed to be related to this temple and this statue.
He tried hard to recall these fragments, trying to piece together a complete memory. However, every time he tried to delve deeper, he felt a severe headache. This forced him to give up the idea and focus on the scene before him.
At this moment, the light gradually dissipated, and Li Qiankun and Baoer returned to the cave. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise and confusion. They didn't know what had just happened, nor did they know where the power came from.
Zhang Chulan and Xinghua gathered around them, asking about Li Qiankun and Baoer's experiences, trying to get some clues from them. However, both of them shook their heads, saying they had no idea what had just happened.
At this moment, Zhuge Qing suddenly said: "Perhaps, we can find the answer from this piece of imperial jade." He pointed to the jade that was still emitting a faint light.
Li Qiankun did not listen carefully to Zhuge Qing's words. Instead, he was thinking about what was going on, why the scene was so strange, and what happened to Baoer.
