Chapter 201: Rules for Opening the Treasure Ground, World Crystal Stone
"My name is Yang Ji!" Yang Ji stood in the air, looking at Gu Xinghua and the others as he declared.
"Yang Ji? Why does that sound familiar?" Gu Xinghua looked at Yang Ji and pondered quietly. A memory suddenly flashed through his mind, and he lifted his head to exclaim, "Yang Ji? Are you the same Yang Ji who once won first place at the Immortal Sword Sect's Sword Appraisal Conference?"
"Indeed, it is him!" Li Yinxue and the others flew over and landed nearby, saying, "Brother Gu, are you all alright?"
"All is well, all is well. We really owe Yang Ji a lot this time!" Gu Xinghua forced a bitter smile but quickly recovered his composure. As an Immortal Ranking Genius, he maintained a dignified and elegant demeanor. He understood when to advance and when to retreat and did not address Yang Ji as a junior, instead cleverly calling him 'Brother Yang'.
"I am thankful for Brother Gu's rescue!" The people beside Gu Xinghua were all geniuses, with no fewer than six leaders among them. At the moment, they too showed the proper respect.
After all, the might Yang Ji had displayed was too strong and terrifying. Just standing silently in front, he seemed like a towering peak, an expanse of heaven, making it difficult to look him in the eye, and unconsciously, everyone felt diminished.
"Brother Gu, we have just arrived at this Ancient Battlefield and are not clear on the situation. Please enlighten us," Yang Ji asked directly.
"This Ancient Battlefield is the final resting place of many Dao lineages and contains numerous treasures, even Immortal heritages. However, getting them requires enough strength," Gu Xinghua said earnestly.
"Oh? What do you mean?" Yang Ji asked curiously.
"The rich sites of the Ancient Battlefield open up one by one. Once they open, countless experts rush over. If one spots a treasure and doesn't have the strength, they can only watch helplessly, unable to obtain it," Gu Xinghua explained.
"Rushing over? How can others be sure when a rich site opens? Doesn't that require chance and luck?" Yang Ji asked, slightly surprised.
"Brother, you may not know, but whenever a rich site opens, a large number of True Inheritor Talismans will appear. Once the Talismans appear, Immortal Light shoots up into the sky, visible from a great distance and very eye-catching, attracting endless masters in a mad rush for the opportunity," a leading genius explained.
"I see! When we first entered this spatial fissure, we continuously saw geniuses from the Overlord Clan, Immortal Clan, and Dragon Race hurrying over. It must be for this reason; this area must have only recently opened," Yang Ji realized.
"Yes, this area has only been open for a short while. We were close by and entered first. The True Inheritor Talismans that appeared here were also first collected by us. Unfortunately, right after we collected the Talismans, we ran into a group of Fiendish Demons. If not for Brother Yang's timely arrival, I fear we would have all died here," Gu Xinghua said with a wry smile.
"Every place where a rich site opens, a True Inheritor Talisman must appear. It seems that the Immortal King intentionally did this to increase the uncertainty and competitiveness of the assessment," Li Yinxue mused.

"This Ancient Battlefield is likely to be the greatest opportunity of this assessment, because once True Inheritor Talismans appear here, there will be dozens or even hundreds — an exaggerated number. That's why I used an external clone to send you a message, urging you all to come directly here to seek opportunities, rather than letting other powers benefit," Gu Xinghua said.
"Besides you all, I also sent a message to all the disciples from our sect participating in this assessment. I believe they should be arriving soon. Other forces are doing the same; the numbers will increase, and soon after, the competition will become even fiercer."
Yang Ji nodded, curious, "By the way, Brother Gu, you've been here for over a hundred years; have you found any opportunities?"
"We have found eighteen Divine Medicines, one stalk of Low-grade Dao Medicine, five Low-grade Daoshi Veins, eighty-five fragments of Dao Devices and Immortal Artifacts, and ninety-five World Crystal Stones.
Our greatest gain was obtaining the incomplete inheritance of a Golden Immortal, learning two Immortal Techniques," Gu Xinghua recounted truthfully, without any intention to conceal, clearly aiming to curry favor with Yang Ji.
"Wow, Brother, you actually obtained a stalk of Low-grade Dao Medicine! It's said that this Dao Medicine can automatically absorb the qi between heaven and earth, emitting an endless medicinal aura. The medicinal aura can be directly absorbed or used for Alchemy. Having one stalk of Dao Medicine is like having an endless supply of Medicine Pills and benefits," Shang Guanwu exclaimed, mouth agape.
"Hehe, Dao Medicines also come in various types! Some are for healing, such as Immortal Medicine. Some can extend lifespan, like the Great Dao Ginseng. Some for enlightenment, like Enlightenment Tea. Some can strengthen the Primordial Spirit, like the Immortal Flower. The Dao Medicine we found is a Willpower Flower.
Absorbing the medicinal aura it emits can condense one's Immortal Will, Immortal Wills and the Great Dao Will," Gu Xinghua said with a smile.
Yang Ji glanced sideways with a slight smirk, for he found Shang Guanwu's focus rather quaint.
Indeed, a satiated woman does not understand the hunger of a starving man.
Having received the inheritance of an Immortal Monarch, she ignored the two Immortal Techniques granted by the Golden Immortal inheritance.
Ignoring Immortal Techniques, she only saw the Dao Medicine.
Truly, the joys and sorrows of people differ.
As for Gu Xinghua's gains, Yang Ji was indeed envious.
Immortal Techniques — he did not have even one.
Although he had not reached the Realm of Void Refinement, nor had he grasped the Great Dao Principles, and thus even if he had Immortal Techniques, he wouldn't be able to unleash their power, still lesser than Supreme Divine Powers.
But whether he could wield that power or not, having them was still better than not.
That was the foundation.
Shang Guanwu had previously received the inheritance of Yun Zhongxian, presumably obtaining Immortal Techniques.
And Gu Xinghua also had good fortune, now commanding Immortal Techniques of his own.
