I Can See Through Everything

Chapter 90

As the stone door slowly opened, Lu Qing gradually took in the scene inside.

What he saw startled him.

Behind the stone door was a small stone chamber. Right in front of the door, on a stone bed, sat a figure in a cross-legged position.

The sudden sight of someone behind the door gave Lu Qing quite a fright.

But he quickly realized that the figure had no breath, and its face had become skeletal, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he couldn't help but mock himself inwardly.

After all his precautions against an ambush, he hadn't escaped this shock.

Knowing that the person on the opposite side had been dead for an unknown period, Lu Qing felt reassured enough to enter.

He did not disturb the skeleton but first circled around the stone chamber.

The space behind the door wasn't very large, divided into three stone chambers, each the size of an ordinary room.

Besides the chamber with the skeleton, one of the other two chambers appeared to be a meditation room, and the other seemed to be an alchemy room.

Unfortunately, both the meditation room and the alchemy room were empty, with nothing of value left.

There were some jade bottles in the alchemy room, but Lu Qing found them all empty, yielding nothing.

After inspecting the stone chambers, Lu Qing turned his attention to the skeleton.

At first glance, he noticed the skeleton's bones were somewhat translucent, almost like jade.

His heart trembled, realizing that this skeleton must have belonged to a very powerful practitioner in life.

The second realm of martial cultivation, the Tendons and Bones Realm, specifically focused on tempering the bones and tendons.

But even in the heritage Lu Qing had received, there was no mention of bones being tempered to a jade-like state upon reaching perfection.

Thus, this skeleton must have belonged to someone far beyond the Tendons and Bones Realm, perhaps even a Postnatal Realm martial artist.

Could this person be the mysterious individual who created this jade-like cave?

A thought flashed through Lu Qing's mind.

He began to focus on the skeleton.

Soon, a dense red light emerged from the skeleton.

[Precelestial Realm Skeleton: This skeleton belonged to a Precelestial Realm practitioner.]

[Soul dispersed, bones remain. The bones of a Precelestial Realm practitioner are tempered by Precelestial Qi, remaining intact for thousands of years.]

[The owner of this skeleton seemed to have perished after a failed breakthrough attempt, exhausting their essence, energy, and spirit.]

Seeing the information floating above the skeleton, Lu Qing realized this person wasn't the mysterious individual who had created the cave.

Instead, this was an unknown Precelestial Realm practitioner.

Considering the golden items left behind by the cave's creator, it was clear that if these bones belonged to them, they would have emitted golden light, not red.

Still, it was puzzling why this Precelestial Realm practitioner ended up here and failed their breakthrough attempt.

Regrettably, there were no books or other sources of information here to provide more context.

Lu Qing was a bit disappointed.

After a sigh, he quickly adjusted his mood.

This expedition had already yielded substantial rewards.

Not only had he found numerous Hundred-year-old Ginsengs, but he had also obtained the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid, a treasure that could drive anyone mad with desire.

To want more would be too greedy.

After calming his mind, Lu Qing's gaze fell on the skeleton again.

He considered whether to bury the skeleton.

Logically, leaving the skeleton here was best.

After all, the stone chamber was extremely clean, and the skeleton would remain undisturbed for centuries.

However, since Lu Qing intended to visit this cave often in the future, he felt uneasy about facing a skeleton every time.

So, after some thought, he decided to give the skeleton a proper burial.

Having made his decision, Lu Qing solemnly bowed three times to the skeleton and apologized before preparing to move it out.

However, as soon as he moved the skeleton, he heard a soft clatter as something fell from it.

He initially thought he had accidentally dislodged a bone and was about to apologize when he saw that what had fallen wasn't a bone.

It appeared to be a long, rectangular jade stone.

Curious, Lu Qing picked it up.

It was indeed a beautiful piece of jade, with several peculiar patterns on it.

Looking at the patterns, Lu Qing felt a sense of familiarity.

After thinking for a moment, he realized that these patterns were similar to those carved on the walls of the outer cave.

Lu Qing's heart trembled.

Could this jade be related to the mysterious individual who created the cave?

He immediately activated his ability and focused on the jade stone.

After a while, a dense red light emerged from the jade.

[Inheritance Jade Slip: A jade slip that can record and transmit information.]

[It is said that those who have cultivated their divine sense can engrave information onto certain special jade slips, leaving behind legacies to ensure their secrecy.]

[Without divine sense and the corresponding activation method, it is extremely difficult to access the information on the jade slip.]

[Do you want to download the information?]

"Red light?"

Seeing the supernatural light emanating from the jade in his hand, Lu Qing was momentarily stunned.

He knew that this item likely had little to do with the mysterious individual who created the cave.

Nevertheless, he was thrilled.

According to the information provided by his ability, this might be exactly what he was looking for.

He immediately chose to download the information.

As per his usual practice, he kept his eyes fixed on the jade slip.

[Downloading... Current progress: 1%, 2%, 3%... 97%, 98%, 99%, 100%]

[Download complete. Do you want to learn the information?]

[Found a technique. Do you want to simulate the technique?]

The information download from the jade slip took much longer than Lu Qing had expected.

It took a full quarter of an hour to complete.

After the download finished, he saw two more choices appear.

One asked if he wanted to learn the information.

The other asked if he wanted to simulate the technique.

This indicated that the jade slip contained not just ordinary information, but also a legacy technique!

Lu Qing was overjoyed.

Even if this jade slip wasn't left by the mysterious individual who created the cave, it was still extremely precious.

Otherwise, the unknown Precelestial Realm practitioner wouldn't have kept it so close even in death.

Thus, the legacy technique within must be invaluable.

He immediately made his choices.

He chose to simulate the technique while learning the other information.

As soon as he made his choices, Lu Qing felt a flood of information pour into his mind.

Familiar with the process, he closed his eyes and silently absorbed the information.

A long time later, when he opened his eyes again, they were filled with joy.
