"Hiss~" Seeing this scene, Qin Henian and Wu Weixiong gasped in amazement once again.

The puppet belongs to this person as well!

Then...

Before they could speculate, Gugu had already been summoned by Li Ji’an to his side.

"The spirit pet is his too!"

The two of Wu Weixiong were thoroughly convinced.

Talisman, puppet, beast taming...

However, in the next moment, all their attention was drawn to the Tai Chi Diagram in the center.

As the puppet stepped onto the Tai Chi Diagram, the mist above it completely dispersed.

Suspended above the Tai Chi Diagram was a Black Water Magic Sword, entirely black, yet appearing to flow like liquid.

"A Magical Treasure! At least an Upper Three Grades Magical Treasure!" Simultaneously, the Black Water Magic Sword emitted an astonishing aura.

"Crack~" The stone puppet beneath the Black Water Magic Sword instantly knelt down, cracks appearing on its body.

However, in just a moment, the sword’s aura dissipated, and the stone man stood up again.

"Whoosh!" Without hesitation, Li Ji’an promptly seized the Black Water Magic Sword.

Similar to the Cyan Wood Magic Sword from back then, it had long become ownerless, allowing Divine Sense to probe freely, which he unhesitatingly placed into his Storage Pouch.

He then glanced at the Tai Chi Diagram below.

The surface of the Tai Chi Diagram was shrouded in a faint mist.

The Yang fish was a handful of yellow-white sand.

The Yin fish was a clump of deep blue-black Spirit Marrow.

The Yin Yang Realm was a cycle of circulating gas.

Each emitted a rich aura of Spiritual Mechanism.

"Ten Thousand Year Spirit Marrow!" Wu Weixiong exclaimed with joy and anticipation at the sight of the substance at the Yin fish position.

"True Man Huang, I wish to trade for this item, please grant my request." Wu Weixiong immediately cupped his hands towards Li Ji’an, exceedingly sincere.

"Hmm?" Li Ji’an was slightly surprised.

They had come on this treasure hunt together and agreed to distribute according to merit. At this moment, this statement clearly meant yielding all opportunity to him.

"True Man Huang, Xiong Er has been with me day and night, saving me from crises multiple times. This Spirit Marrow can bring back the dead and regenerate bones, saving my spirit pet’s life." Wu Weixiong urgently explained.

"Alright!" Li Ji’an nodded.

"I wonder what True Man Huang needs Wu to offer?" Wu Weixiang overjoyed.

Li Ji’an smiled slightly, quite surprised: "I’m quite interested in your Body Refining Technique and that Secret Technique."

Wu Weixiong paused, as they were his foundation and a proud trump card, yet this method also had a fatal weakness. Once someone knew this weakness...

Nevertheless, he decisively nodded, throwing a Jade Talisman and a fragment of Turtle Shell to Li Ji’an.

After all, the person before him did not need to know his weakness to destroy him.

Li Ji’an received the Jade Talisman and Turtle Shell, inwardly delighted.

The Jade Talisman was a Body Refining Technique called the "Divine Treasure Body Refining Technique."

The Turtle Shell had an extraordinary Fist Technique, known as the "Taigu Demon-Suppressing Fist," at a glance an object from Ancient Times, very likely from the peak period of Ancient Body Cultivation.

Stowing away the Jade Talisman and Turtle Shell, Li Ji’an was inwardly pleased, having obtained the cultivation technique and fist technique he had yearned for, an unexpected joy.

Receiving Li Ji’an’s nod, Wu Weixiong hurriedly released the Earth-Split Bear.

The Earth-Split Bear was now on its last legs, its internal organs severely damaged by the Magical Treasure’s killing intent. Without Spirit Marrow, even if it survived, its realm would significantly decline.

Wu Weixiong decisively carried the Earth-Split Bear to the Tai Chi Diagram, using his Magical Power to draw out the Spirit Marrow, infusing it into the Earth-Split Bear.

Not a bit was kept back, everything was infused.

"Master Qin, this is Innate Mother Qi, though only a wisp, it also benefits Core Formation, you may take it." Li Ji’an carefully inspected the remaining items, speaking to Qin Henian.

The thin mist floating above the Tai Chi Diagram was the Innate Mother Qi, also the main material for the puppet guarding the Spirit Field in the previous chamber.

Innate Mother Qi enjoys the utmost of heaven and the depth of earth, a rare treasure from Ancient Times for Artifact Refining.

However, this wisp was too little to be used in refining any Magical Artifacts.

Beyond Artifact Refining, Innate Mother Qi was also beneficial for Core Formation, though it couldn’t compare to the Core Formation Spirit Treasures on the ranking list, it far surpassed any Celestial Heart Grass of five hundred years.

"Thank you, True Man Huang!" Qin Henian couldn’t hide his excitement, having given up on any opportunity after surviving a deadly encounter, he couldn’t imagine the True Man Huang would just give him a wisp of Core Formation Spiritual Object.

After collecting the wisp of Innate Mother Qi, Li Ji’an turned his gaze to the circulating energy on the Yin Yang Realm.

Even though he already possessed the Seven-Colored Jade Tree, an Upper Three Grades Core Formation Spirit Treasure, upon confirming this energy, he was still shocked for several breaths.

This energy was the true root of Innate Mother Qi!

The wisp Qin Henian collected dispersed from this root.

In legend, this Innate Mother Qi root was a coveted treasure during Ancient Times, a primary choice for forging various types of Spiritual Treasure, able to fuse with all things.

After Wu Weixiong and Qin Henian left satisfied, Li Ji’an cautiously collected this root in a Jade Bottle.

"Crack!" Yet despite the care, the heavy root of Mother Qi still crushed the Jade Bottle upon contact.

Helpless, he had to let Gugu assist, swallowing it in one gulp.

Next, the only thing left was the handful of Earth Essence at the Yang fish, with its intense earth energy.

In the end, it too was swallowed by Gugu.

"Everyone, farewell, see you no more." With a glance around, finding no more opportunities, Li Ji’an waved his hand, placing Gugu into the Spirit Pet Bag. He also collected the severely damaged Stone Puppet, as well as the remnants of the Bone Puppet and Skinny Monkey Puppet into the Storage Pouch, flying away.
