The bead was a dazzling azure blue, as if containing a world of water within it.
Yu Lei took a deep breath, picked up the bead, and injected his spiritual energy into it.
In an instant, blue light burst forth, water vapor filled the air, and a stream of information flooded Yu Lei's mind.
“It’s truly this treasure, the Innate Water Spirit Bead!”
Yu Lei’s heart was filled with ecstatic joy.
The Innate Water Spirit Bead was one of the Innate Five Elements Spirit Beads, a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!
Each Innate Five Elements Spirit Bead was a top-grade Innate treasure, a manifestation of the ultimate essence of the five elements in the world. It contained vast amounts of Five Elements power, as boundless as mountains and oceans!
Yu Lei’s Innate Water Spirit Bead, as one of the Innate Five Elements Spirit Beads, could summon vast amounts of Water Element power when activated. It could conjure rivers, lakes, and even create a boundless ocean out of thin air!
It could also be used directly against enemies. A single bead would unleash the power of the four seas, easily overwhelming any ordinary Spiritual Treasure.
When facing Fire Element Spiritual Treasures, the Innate Water Spirit Bead was virtually invincible. It would allow Yu Lei to withstand any Fire Element Spiritual Treasure below the Supreme Innate level!
But the Innate Water Spirit Bead’s usefulness to Yu Lei extended far beyond that.
After all, Yu Lei possessed the Innate Covering Sea Grand Formation!
Originally, the Innate Covering Sea Grand Formation had many limitations. It was troublesome to set up and required a water-rich environment to unleash its full power.
Now, with the Innate Water Spirit Bead, these two limitations were gone!
What array eye could compare to an Innate Water Element Spirit Bead?
Having an Innate Water Spirit Bead as the foundation of the grand formation would also provide an endless supply of Water Element power, making it no less effective than deploying it at sea!
This meant that Yu Lei, with the Innate Water Spirit Bead and the Innate Covering Sea Grand Formation, could fight above his level, even against Golden Immortals!
With such a powerful trump card, how could Yu Lei not be excited?
Besides, if Yu Lei could one day gather all five Innate Five Elements Spirit Beads, and unify them, he would obtain a treasure set comparable in power to a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure!
He might even have a chance to comprehend the legendary top-tier grand formation of the primordial world, the Innate Five Elements Grand Formation!
Of course, gathering all five Innate Five Elements Spirit Beads was incredibly difficult, so Yu Lei could only dream for now.
Yu Lei sighed in admiration, then began to refine the Innate Water Spirit Bead in his hand.
…
【You have refined 2 innate restrictions on the Innate Water Spirit Bead, gaining some benefits and comprehending the minor divine ability: Water Ban!】
…
【You have refined 12 innate restrictions on the Innate Water Spirit Bead, comprehending the Water Dao. Current Water Dao Comprehension: 5%!】
…
The Innate Water Spirit Bead, as the pinnacle of Water Element power, was naturally the ultimate treasure among top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, boasting a total of 39 innate restrictions.
Yu Lei, with a burst of energy, refined 15 of these innate restrictions, essentially completing the initial refinement of the treasure.
Through this process, he had comprehended the minor divine ability, Water Ban, and gained 5% comprehension of the Water Dao.
So far, Yu Lei had mastered the Gold, Fire, and Water Elements of the Five Elements Dao. Only the Earth and Wood Elements remained.
The Five Elements Dao, as the foundation of the world, was crucial for cultivators.
This was most evident in the Golden Immortal stage, where all Golden Immortals needed to cultivate the Five Qi within their chests.
The so-called Five Qi within the chest refers to the Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Element Qi.
Only by harmonizing the Five Qi within their chests could a Golden Immortal have a chance to break through to the Great Perfect Golden Immortal stage.
To cultivate the Five Qi within the chest, one either relies on external objects or cultivates Five Element Qi through their own comprehension of the Five Elements Dao.
Clearly, relying on external objects was inferior to relying on oneself.
However, Yu Lei was still a little way off from the Golden Immortal stage, so he didn’t need to rush these matters.
Yu Lei, content with his achievement, put away the Innate Water Spirit Bead and looked at the Enlightenment Tea Tree.
A Supreme Innate-level Enlightenment Tea Tree was theoretically even more precious than the Innate Water Spirit Bead!
The only drawback was that it wasn’t a spiritual root that could directly enhance cultivation.
It’s a tea tree after all. Its essence lies in its leaves.
The leaves of the Enlightenment Tea Tree, when processed into tea, could be consumed daily, allowing the drinker to remain in a near-constant state of “Enlightenment”.
For Yu Lei, it was extremely valuable.
Yu Lei carefully transplanted it into the Hundred Herbs Chart, intending to harvest and process it gradually in the future.
Besides the Enlightenment Tea Tree, there were also various spiritual roots and materials at the Innate level within the restriction, and Yu Lei didn’t miss a single one. He threw them all into the Hundred Herbs Chart.
There were still many people outside the restriction, so Yu Lei didn’t rush to leave.
After all, he had already obtained the Enlightenment Tea Tree. The strange phenomena in the valley would gradually fade, and those people would eventually leave on their own.
Yu Lei simply sat cross-legged and began cultivating within the restriction.
The spiritual energy within this restriction was also extremely rich. Yu Lei activated the Nine Breath Inhaling Divine Ability, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy like a whale swallowing the ocean.
In the blink of an eye, all the spiritual energy within the restriction was swept away by Yu Lei.
Simultaneously, Yu Lei’s aura also changed.
Early-stage Heavenly Immortal!
After breaking through to True Immortal Perfection, Yu Lei’s primordial spirit realm had finally reached the early stage of Heavenly Immortal!
Heavenly Immortal, only one step away from Golden Immortal.
Yu Lei slowly opened his eyes and let out a sigh of relief.
He had cultivated within the restriction for a long time, and the strange phenomena in the valley should have subsided by now. Those who wanted to leave should have already done so.
No longer hesitating, Yu Lei left the restriction.
As soon as he stepped out, the entire valley was indeed deserted. Even the Golden Immortal had vanished without a trace.
He probably went to find someone to help investigate.
Yu Lei smiled slightly, rose into the air, and quietly departed.
…
A short while later, inside Yu Lei’s cave abode.
After leaving the valley, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao waited anxiously outside the cave abode for Yu Lei. Now, seeing him return, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Brother Yu Lei, you scared the life out of us. We thought something had happened to you!” Xiao Sheng exclaimed, while handing the Soul-Snatching Flute back to Yu Lei.
Yu Lei couldn’t help but secretly admire them. Even though these two were a bit greedy, they hadn’t run off with the spiritual treasure he had given them. It was quite remarkable.
Of course, he had taken precautions. The Soul-Snatching Flute was also imbued with his restrictions.
Yu Lei took the Soul-Snatching Flute and laughed, “I apologize for causing you both worry.”
Seeing that Yu Lei didn’t elaborate further, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao wisely didn’t ask any questions.
After Yu Lei arranged for them to attract attention, he disappeared. Then, the strange phenomena in the valley also vanished.
They weren’t fools. If you said it had nothing to do with Yu Lei, who would believe you?
Their silence was a sign of their intelligence.
Yu Lei was now quite fond of these two. He had obtained the Falling Treasure Coin in this Twin Immortal Ridge, and now he had acquired an Enlightenment Tea Tree and an Innate Water Spirit Bead.
These two were his lucky charms!
Yu Lei pondered for a moment, then decided to be generous!
“My two good friends, I will be leaving this Twin Immortal Ridge soon. You’ve both been a great help to me. How could I not show my gratitude?”
As he spoke, Yu Lei waved his hand.
On the table before the three of them, a pile of dazzling spiritual fruits and jade scrolls appeared.
Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, upon seeing this, widened their eyes in astonishment!
