Xiao Yu composed his emotions, picked up the ring on the table and put it on. When he focused his mind onto the ring, he immediately felt a spatial fluctuation at the spot where the ring was, and Xiao Yu's consciousness entered the space within the ring.

The space inside the ring had an area equivalent to that of a football field; apart from two racks there wasn't anything else in it.

Xiao Yu approached these two racks. One rack held some jade bottles, with descriptions of the contents of each bottle placed right beside them. These were all medicinal pills, but they were all at least Foundation Establishment realm and above to be consumed; no pills for the Qi Condensation realm could be found here. It made sense because everything inside this ring belonged to Blood Flame True Person, a Transcendence realm cultivator who would naturally not carry around any medicinal resources suitable for lower realms like the Qi Condensation stage. These Foundation Establishment-grade resources were likely leftovers from before.

The most Foundation Establishment-grade medicinal pills could be found here, followed by Core Formation-grade ones, and there were quite a few high-level pills as well, even some for Transcendence realm. All of these were left behind to help future inheritors solve the mysteries in this place and use them once they managed to leave the Restricted Divine Realm.

These resources might not mean much to Blood Flame True Person, but out there, they would be a fortune. If such treasures fell into the hands of loose cultivators, rivers of blood would likely flow. Even on a planet where all were loose cultivators, it could trigger a battle among them.

According to Blood Flame True Person's records, although the great cultivation world was desirable, it was also extremely cruel. It wasn't uncommon for people to kill others and rob their resources over small amounts of cultivation resources.

In the great cultivation world, there were countless ordinary beings and cultivators in the billions; therefore, deaths among cultivators were quite normal as resources were limited. Only those who survived battles had the right to enjoy such resources.

Earth was different though. There were only a few hundred cultivators here altogether, but even fewer remained after the calamity of Heaven and Earth.

In the past, there might have been disasters like this one, but they occurred in small areas. None compared to this level of disaster except for the catastrophe at the time of Pangu's creation of the world; perhaps it was even worse than that one. After Pangu opened up Heaven and Earth, the primordial energy was still quite thick. But now there almost wasn't any left, and what little remained was becoming more and more diluted. There might even come a day when this primordial energy no longer existed.

After leaving the first rack, Xiao Yu moved to another one. This one held rocks, crystals, and medicinal herbs. Just like before, there were descriptions of each item next to them.

Xiao Yu looked at all these things; among them were some crystals that contained primordial energy. The majority were mid-grade quality—there were about tens of thousands of them. Upper-grade ones numbered around a thousand, while supreme-grade crystals only amounted to hundreds. These resources were commonly used as currency in the cultivation world. There was also low-grade crystals, but since Blood Flame True Person didn't need any of those, there weren't any here.

The common currency in the realm of Cultivators is low-grade crystal stones. One medium-grade stone can be exchanged for twelve low-grade ones, and so on. This shows how much wealth True Master Blood Flame left for Xiao Yu.

But these items here are not the most precious. The rarest materials are those with just a speck of them. These are top-notch among top-notch items, priceless treasures.

There are also some rare divine herbs and medicinal plants collected and placed here directly. Although Xiao Yu doesn't recognize many of these things, explanations about their properties are written above them. Even if he didn’t read the descriptions, just from sensing the abundant natural energy exuded by these divine herbs and medicinal plants, he knew that they were extraordinary.

As Xiao Yu was examining each item one by one, something in a corner of the lowest shelf suddenly caught his attention; it gave him a familiar feeling.

When he felt this way, he quickly squatted down to take a look. He saw only three egg-sized stones lying quietly in that corner.

The sense of familiarity he felt emanated from these three stones.

In the book "Five Elements Stones," it was recorded that wood, metal, and fire Five Elements Stones were discovered during the War of Resistance among a batch of antiques being transported to Japan.

Five Elements Stones are rare treasures even in the greater cultivation world. He didn’t expect to encounter them on Earth, not just one but three at once. Furthermore, these stones are produced in places where the five elements converge, and they don't always appear even there. Now he had obtained three of them at once, so he carefully put them into his storage ring.

What made Xiao Yu feel familiar was not the fluctuations brought by the stones themselves but a hint of familiarity hidden within the stones.

The aura was very faint; if he hadn't been close to this shelf, he wouldn’t have noticed it at all. Holding these three Five Elements Stones in his hands, Xiao Yu closed his eyes and carefully sensed that familiar fluctuation.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu’s tightly shut eyes snapped open. When he opened them, a hint of excitement unconsciously appeared on his face.

It turned out that when sensing this fluctuation, he suddenly realized where the familiarity came from—it was the chaotic Five Elements Ghost Qi unique to Zhong Kui. Once he confirmed it, without caring about anything else, his mind left the ring and focused entirely on these stones.

Xiao Yu收迴心神後，他想到三塊五行石出現在了他的手中。

"Wood Ghost, Metal Ghost, Fire Ghost, are you three alright" Xiao Yu looked at the stones in his hands and spoke to them.

After waiting for a long time without any response from the stones, Xiao Yu called out again. However, there was still no reaction from the stones. He thought for a moment and understood what was happening. Therefore, he chuckled softly at the stone and said: "It's fine if you don't admit it. Once you see your two brothers, they will explain everything to you!"

He knew the worries of these three Five-Element Ghosts; the Five-Element Ghosts are incredibly rare beings, especially in their chaotic form. Throughout history, there have only been a few of them. Now that the damage to their core is very severe, they have no self-protection capabilities and can be easily refined by others within minutes, so it's reasonable for them to be cautious.

Moreover, they are afraid of being tricked because in this state, nobody should know that they hid inside these stones. After all, the stones they inhabited had changed hands several times but no one could detect their presence.

After finishing up here and turning his hand over, those stones disappeared again from his hand. At this moment, Xiao Yu was in a very good mood because Earth Ghost and Water Ghost also wanted to find these brothers, and he was paying attention too, yet they had never been found until now.

After tidying up everything here, he once again signed the arcane hand signs; with his movements, that light screen gradually vanished and turned into a stone wall. Without surpassing Blood Flame True Man’s cultivation level, it's impossible to notice the mystery of this place.

Once he finished dealing with everything, he threw those two inheritance jade slips into his ring and left from the inheritance site.

"Xiao Yu, how is it" When Xiao Yu walked out from the stone door, these elders who were sitting cross-legged on the ground hurriedly stood up and asked him.

Although it seemed that Xiao Yu had been inside for a short time, he actually spent an entire day and night in there. Seeing that Xiao Yu didn't come out, those elders started sitting in meditation here. For example, Old Master Song, even though he no longer had cultivation, his current practice of health-preserving techniques allowed him to go without food for a day.

"It's already finished!" Hearing the elders’ questions, Xiao Yu nodded.

“Oh How is it then What was inside” Upon hearing that Xiao Yu had completed everything, these elders quickly asked further. They have been guarding this inheritance site for over half a century and naturally want to know what's inside.

Since this place of inheritance might be the only thing left by their eldest brother.

"He left behind some cultivation techniques and items!" After hearing these elder's questions, Xiao Yu told them.

Xiao Yu didn't mention the matter of the Banner of a Million Ghosts. A million ghost souls, all battle spirits, and they were their comrades-in-arms who had willingly stayed behind to defend China; although they had volunteered to remain, Xiao Yu always felt that preventing them from reincarnating was the cruelest thing.

Back then, True Man Blood Flame told these battle spirits to continue guarding China, which is why more than a million ghost souls remained.

"Even if we die a thousand deaths, our hearts will never change!" This was their sole thought at the time. It can be said that back then, those soldiers had only one belief: no matter how many times they died and were reborn, they would not alter their faith!

Regarding these cultivation techniques, there wasn't much they could do. Their leader wanted to teach them Daoist cultivation methods when he was alive, but none of them possessed the special aptitude required for that type of cultivation; thus, those elder men didn't pay much attention to those methods.

"Didn’t our eldest brother leave us any words" Upon hearing Xiao Yu's statement, they inquired further.

In fact, what was left behind wasn't important to them at all. They only wanted to know how their big brother was and whether he had given them a message.

They were aware that many of those people had been saved by their eldest brother, who then taught them their skills and formed the Blood Flame Unit with them.

It could be said that True Man Blood Flame wasn't just the founder of this unit but also their teacher and benefactor. Their feelings towards True Man Blood Flame were very special.

Hearing those elder men's questions, Xiao Yu shook his head. Neither jade slip contained any words from these elder men, and although he saw their yearning eyes, it was impossible for him to deceive them with a lie here. Thus, upon hearing the elder men’s inquiries, Xiao Yu helplessly shook his head.tures standing at each corner of the buildings.
