The first core we acquired was a fifth-tier Radiant Gold Core obtained through Jiang Yuan's bloodline trade.
The Heavenly Eye revealed seven items within the Radiant Gold Core, none of which were from the Unknown series.
However, the items included were all very valuable: three fifth-tier pills, two sixth-tier skills, one fifth-tier cultivation technique, and one unranked beginner cultivation technique.
"Without the Unknown series, this Radiant Gold Core would be a loss!" Jiang Yuan exclaimed.
The higher the grade, the greater the possibility of encountering unknown series items, and the more treasures are found in the unknown series.
"Identified by the Heavenly Eye!"
Jiang Yuan scanned the unranked introductory cultivation technique, and all the information about it was fed back into his mind.
"Blazing Thunder Spectrum, Rank: None! Potential: Void Spirit Realm! Power: None!"
Unlike ordinary cultivation techniques, introductory cultivation techniques without rank have extremely high adaptability. As long as the user's attributes match the technique's rank, it will continuously increase along with the user. Unless the technique's maximum value is reached, it can be used indefinitely. However, cultivation techniques with rank markings are different. If you learn a fixed fifth-rank technique at the first rank, your initial strength will be much greater. But once you exceed the fifth rank, you will need to find another suitable technique, otherwise your strength will hit a bottleneck.
Moreover, there's another advantage to unranked beginner cultivation techniques: with prolonged practice, these techniques will become increasingly powerful. It's like using weapons: one involves upgrading to higher-level equipment as you fight, while the other is directly wielding a divine weapon that grows stronger with you. The difference in strength is obvious.
Jiang Yuan shifted his gaze from the Fiery Thunder Spectrum. This technique was clearly of dual attributes of thunder and fire, which did not match Leng Yue's attributes. If Leng Yue were to actually use it, she definitely wouldn't be able to unleash her full combat power.
"I can only open it randomly!" After making the decision, Jiang Yuan did not intend to waste Holy Spirit Stones to search for treasures and locate them.
The contents of this core are all very mediocre. The value of three fifth-tier pills is not even as high as the Fiery Thunder Spectrum, and the two sixth-tier skills are also just average. It is precisely because of this that the choice is left to luck.
Three Tier 5 Holy Spirit Stones entered the Radiant Gold Core, and as the core flickered, it began selecting the items to be obtained.
With a clang, the golden chest appeared.
Leng Yue didn't move, but Ning Yanlan excitedly went to open the box and soon took out a small bottle.
"Let me examine it!" Ning Yanlan excitedly used her Eye of Insight to examine the contents of the small bottle. After a while, she said, "It's a fifth-grade Jade Mushroom Pill. Its effect is to increase cultivation speed!"
There were only ten Jade Mushroom Pills in the medicine bottle, and their value was self-evident, given that they could be obtained from a fifth-tier Radiant Gold Core.
"Great, a good start!" Jiang Yuan said insincerely, because in his eyes, a fifth-grade Jade Mushroom Pill was really not up to par.
Ning Yanlan pursed her lips and said unhappily, "Are all cores like this now? I remember the last time we opened them, they were all good stuff!"
"Actually, there was a hint in the information we looked at last time!" Jiang Yuan looked at Ning Yanlan with affection. "When we went to the Holy Spirit Pavilion, Mu Hai kept talking about how the battlefield was fully open and so on. The battlefield should be Earth. Do you remember a sentence in that information? Before the beast tide arrives, the entire battlefield is in a newbie protection period, which means that the probability of getting valuable items from the core in the first ten days will be much higher than after the beast tide!"
He hadn't thought much of the data on the USB drive before, but after returning from the Holy Spirit Pavilion, he realized that much of what was on the USB drive was extremely important.
For example, the location of the Holy Spirit Building!
Ever since he used up that initial source of holy spirit energy, he had been thinking about the source of holy spirit energy inside the Holy Spirit Building. Having that thing would be a great help to both cultivation and the recovery of divine power.
"I think I've seen this sentence before!" Ning Yanlan suddenly realized after recalling.
"It's okay, we'll find it much easier to acquire high-level cores later on, and we'll get more items as a result!" Jiang Yuan didn't think this limitation would affect him much, since his treasure hunting strategy only cared about how many Holy Spirit Stones were consumed.
"I just don't know if we'll be able to find a treasure that suits us!"
Ning Yanlan looked worried. Her current combat strength was terribly weak, and most importantly, it was not sustainable. Therefore, she sincerely wanted to become stronger.
"Don't worry, it will happen!"
The second core was extracted. It was a sixth-order black iron core, also without any unknown series, but there was one thing that made Jiang Yuan's heart flutter.
"Seventh-tier skill Spirit Bomb, applicable to any attribute."
The six words caught Jiang Yuan's attention. He couldn't currently unlock any skills that were all-around capable of all three elements, and it was too troublesome to rely on energy disguised as other attributes to release skills all day long, which made him very unhappy.
However, the Spirit Bomb in front of us does not have such limitations. Although the damage is a bit low, it is convenient and much more convenient than disguising itself as a fire elemental and using a small fireball.
"Treasure location!"
Jiang Yuan moved his mind, and the number of Holy Spirit Stones required for the Spirit Bomb was then fed back to him. Only two sixth-tier Holy Spirit Stones were needed, which was enough to prove that the seventh-tier Spirit Bomb was not powerful enough. But he did not hesitate. Something was better than nothing!
"Activate!"
Jiang Yuan silently counted to himself, and the second box appeared, opened by Ning Yanlan once again.
"It's a skill orb!" Ning Yanlan took out a skill orb and smiled. "And it's a seventh-tier one!"
It's already quite good that a Tier 6 Black Iron Core can unlock a Tier 7 skill, because according to the law of cores, it's impossible for a core to exceed Tier 3. It's rare for a Black Iron Core to exceed Tier 1.
Jiang Yuan remained calm and collected. How could he not know what this skill was when he was using the treasure-hunting location? Ning Yanlan, driven by curiosity, used the Eye of Insight anyway. After a while, she said in frustration, "Why is this skill so weak! What a waste of my seventh-tier level!"
Jiang Yuan didn't explain, but simply asked Leng Yue, "This skill ball has no attributes, it's a common skill, do you want it?"
"You have excellent judgment, so just give me your recommendations!" Leng Yue was also envious of the insight skills the two possessed, skills that could be upgraded in both the early and late game.
“Then it’s mine!” Jiang Yuan said with a smile.
Here, take it!
Jiang Yuan took the skill ball and used it immediately. However, when the information about the Spirit Bomb entered his mind, he was slightly surprised. The Spirit Bomb could not only be activated by divine energy, but the Spirit Bomb activated by divine energy was also quite powerful, at least stronger than a single-element fire skill.
You saw the second layer and thought I was on the first layer, but I've actually reached the stratosphere.
"You're laughing so happily, you've struck gold!" After spending this time together, how could Ning Yanlan not understand Jiang Yuan?
"It's a secret!" Jiang Yuan deliberately piqued her interest, revealing another crucial piece of information. "Let's continue!"
The third core is a seventh-tier mithril core.
This time, an unknown series appeared for the first time, and there was something in the unknown series that made Jiang Yuan hesitate.
Lightning Mark: A superior level, a perfect substitute for weapons, with a power amplification range of 1 to 1080, the amplification depending on the user's realm and talent!
The Origin of Fire: A tier of sub-god, the source of all fire-attribute bloodlines, capable of strengthening any fire-attribute bloodline.
