The hall wasn't large, only about ten zhang in size.

All around were rows of wooden shelves.

On the left shelf, there were all magical artifacts displayed.

"Low-Grade Spiritual Artifacts, Middle-Grade Spiritual Artifacts, and on the topmost level, there were even a few High-Grade Spiritual Artifacts!"

It was clearly used during the rebuilding of the family.

With these magical artifacts, they could quickly arm a powerful team of cultivators.

The right shelf was filled with volumes after volumes of scriptures, and on the topmost level, there were jade scrolls arranged.

Only Late-Stage Qi Refining Cultivators with Divine Sense could read them.

The abundance of scriptures here left Zhou Xun amazed.

Even the library of the Pill Treasure Pavilion couldn't compare to this.

Evidently, the Spirit Talisman Luo Family's centuries of scriptures were all here.

The foundation of a Cultivation Clan largely depended on these.

This is also the biggest gap between Loose Cultivators and noble youths.

Loose Cultivators' cultivation relies solely on self-exploration, and they have very little knowledge of various cultivation techniques, secret techniques, and secrets in the Cultivation Realm.

Obtaining these scriptures greatly helped Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun eagerly glanced at those jade scrolls.

"Cultivation Techniques, Secret Techniques, Cultivation Hundred Skills Inheritance, and even Foundation Establishment Insights!"

In usual times, to gain knowledge like Foundation Establishment Insights, Zhou Xun would have to pay a great price.

Even the Song Family wouldn't offer it to Zhou Xun despite his status as an Honored Guest Elder, unless he truly joined the Song Family.

He stored all these scriptures in the storage bag.

Afterward, Zhou Xun's gaze fell upon the shelf in front of him, which had a few large boxes at the bottom and only three jade boxes on top.

Opening the boxes revealed they were filled with spirit stones, each containing a thousand pieces, and there were five large boxes in total, making it five thousand spirit stones.

He whisked them into the storage bag and then set his eyes on the three jade boxes.

Zhou Xun knew the truly good stuff was inside them.

Opening the first treasure box revealed a jade scroll inside.

"It must be the Quasi-Third Tier Talisman Dao inheritance of the Luo Family!"

Upon inspecting the jade scroll, it was indeed so.

The foundation on which the Spirit Talisman Luo Family survived had now fallen into Zhou Xun's hands.

He now possessed the array inheritance of Tier Three and the Quasi-Third Tier Talisman Dao inheritance.

Even if his path in Alchemy Dao couldn't continue, he could switch to becoming a Talisman Master.

After all, his talent in talismans was not less than in alchemy.

Stowing this jade box away, Zhou Xun opened the second one.

Upon seeing the second treasure, Zhou Xun's face beamed with joy.

It turned out to be a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object.

A Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, similar to a Foundation Establishment Pill, could assist Qi Refining Perfection Cultivators in achieving Foundation Establishment.

Different Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects offer varying probabilities of success.

The Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object Zhou Xun held was called "Black Cloud Evil Qi," enhancing a Peak of Qi Refining Cultivator's chances of Foundation Establishment by ten percent.

It's worth noting that a genuine Foundation Establishment Pill only increases the likelihood by twenty percent.

This Black Cloud Evil Qi was equivalent to half a Foundation Establishment Pill!

Of course, using spiritual object-based Foundation Establishment often doesn't have the protective effects of a Foundation Establishment Pill, and failure can still harm cultivation, divine sense, and foundations.

But using Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects along with pills like the Vein Protection Pill can somewhat offer protection.

Once he advances to a Tier Two Alchemist, he could refine Vein Protection Pills himself.

With this Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, he had a safety net for his Foundation Establishment.

In the future, should he acquire a Foundation Establishment Pill, he would use it for a breakthrough; otherwise, he would rely on the Black Cloud Evil Qi for Foundation Establishment.

Obtaining this Black Cloud Evil Qi made the trip worthwhile for Zhou Xun!

The first two treasure boxes contained such rare treasures; this filled Zhou Xun with even more anticipation for the third jade box.

Slowly opening the jade box revealed a blue sparkling talisman inside.

"Heaven-Escaping Talisman!"

Zhou Xun exclaimed in delight.

As a Talisman Master, he naturally recognized this famous talisman.

Unlike ordinary one-time-use talismans, this one was akin to a Talisman Treasure and could be used multiple times until its power was depleted.

In terms of rank, it was at least at a Quasi-Third Tier level.

The Heaven-Escaping Talisman's function aligned with its name, making it an exceptional escape treasure.

Its speed depended on the user's Divine Sense Magical Power strength.

It is said that if a Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator used this talisman, their speed would surpass even that of Fake Pill Great Power.

If Zhou Xun used it, his escape speed would exceed that of a typical Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Having this talisman filled the biggest gap in Zhou Xun's abilities.

Facing normal Foundation Establishment Cultivators, Zhou Xun now had a life-saving trump card.

Storing away all these treasures, without the storage bag obtained from the mid-aged Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Zhou Xun's own bag wouldn't have held everything.

Taking all the treasures, Zhou Xun immediately left the place, heading swiftly toward a direction away from Gaoyang Square.

...

Meanwhile, at the Gao Family Territory, in the Spirit Storage Hall.

Gao Yunfeng, a collateral descendant of the Gao Family, had recently taken on the task of guarding the family's cultivators' spirit tablets.

The spirit tablets stored a sliver of the family's cultivators' divine souls. If a family cultivator perished, the tablet would turn gray.

The family could receive this news immediately.

That day, as he dozed off at the entrance,

He glanced drowsily at the spirit tablets inside the main hall,

That glance instantly woke him up.

He saw that in the main hall housing the spirit tablets, one of the top three had already dimmed without his notice.

In the lower tiers, over a dozen had grayed as well.

It's essential to realize that the Gao Family currently had just over three hundred cultivators.

A sudden loss of over ten people, including a Foundation Establishment Elder, was undoubtedly a major event that could shake the family.

In a panic, he activated the communication spiritual artifact on his waist.

Soon after, the Grand Elder of the Gao Family, the Patriarch, and several high-ranking members gathered at the Spirit Storage Hall.

Looking at the dimmed spirit tablets, everyone appeared gravely serious.

The fallen Second Elder of the Gao Family was currently their most adept Array Master.

"What on earth is going on?" The Gao Family Grand Elder's face was livid, not bothering to hide his Peak of Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment Mana Strength.

The matter about the Heritage Mansion at Guya Ridge had been personally arranged by the family patriarch, who then explained the whole story.

Hearing this, the Gao Family Grand Elder pondered for a moment and finally decided to send several Middle-Stage Qi Refining Cultivators carrying high-tier communication talismans to investigate.

Soon, those scouts returned safely, bringing back only a heap of ashes and the news of an empty Heritage Mansion.

The entire Gao Family could only lament, while contracting their influence, and strictly ordered the noble youth not to leave the market.

...

Elsewhere, a thousand miles away from Guya Ridge, Zhou Xun was riding the Cyan Light Shuttle, his face filled with an uncontrollable smile.

"This time, I've truly struck it rich... really rich!"

"A massive haul indeed!"

"Just the Light Spirit Stones alone exceed ten thousand pieces,"

"Not to mention the piles of spiritual artifacts, which, even if he doesn't use, can be sold for a huge sum!"

"Most importantly, acquiring the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object – leaving Qingyue Square was indeed the best decision I made!"

Next, Zhou Xun planned to head to White Cloud Immortal City to cultivate in peace.
