Dragon Hidden in the Sky

"This is a Rejuvenation Pill, only a fifth-grade pill, not much, but it's more than enough for healing!" the woman said.

"Fifth grade?" Ye Qing's expression shifted. "Is this the grade of the pill?"

The woman looked at Ye Qing strangely and said, "You don't even understand these things?"

"I don't understand!" Ye Qing shook his head.

He didn't know much about this, nor had he studied it, or perhaps he simply hadn't had the time to study and understand it along the way.

The woman pondered for a moment and said, "Pills are divided into nine grades. This Rejuvenation Pill is a fifth-grade pill. As long as a person's body is below the Immortal level, they can recover in a very short time!"

Ye Qing's expression shifted slightly as he said, "Then the quality of this pill isn't low, is it?"

“For you, it should be; on the market, it should be worth 30,000 yuan a piece!” the woman said.

Ye Qing glanced at it, which meant that this bottle of pills was worth about 600,000 blue crystals.

This woman is actually a rich woman!

However, given that she most likely comes from an advanced civilization, this doesn't seem to be a big deal.

"This is a bit valuable!" Ye Qing said, silently putting the bottle into his spatial ring.

This thing was incredibly useful to him at crucial moments.

"By the way, you said pills are divided into nine grades, what about the others? For example, cultivation techniques, combat skills, armor, and so on?" Ye Qing asked curiously.

"You don't understand anything?" The woman frowned even more deeply and asked, "How did you get here?"

In fact, Ye Qing hadn't really looked into these things in detail.

As for the big yellow dog and Xueying, they probably all assumed that Ye Qing knew about these things, and never mentioned them to Ye Qing. Of course, Ye Qing himself didn't ask too much about it either.

"Cough cough, I got here by luck." Ye Qing coughed lightly.

The woman pondered for a moment before speaking, "Generally speaking, most things are divided into nine levels, which are the opposite of the nine levels of civilization, and also the nine levels of cultivation. For example, the fourth rank actually corresponds to the extraordinary."

“But cultivation techniques and combat skills are different. Cultivation techniques and combat skills only have five levels, from low to high: Mortal, Earth, Heaven, Absolute, and Divine! Each major level is further divided into three minor levels: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced,” the woman said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing's expression shifted slightly.

When Chen Xuan and I obtained the Rising Sun Sword Technique, Chen Xuan was extremely excited. According to him, the sword moves of the Rising Sun Sword Technique were enough for him to lead Xuan Chen Star to become a top power in the Milky Way in the future, and even to reach the seventh level of civilization. This proved that the Rising Sun Sword Technique was of a high grade.

However, we can ask Chen Xuan about his specific level next time we meet.

Ye Qing nodded and said, "Thank you for clearing up my doubts!"

"It's alright!" At this moment, the woman hesitated for a moment and asked, "By the way, my name is Gu Qingcheng. What's your name?"

"Ye Feng!" Ye Qing said, coming up with a name randomly.

A strange look appeared on the woman's otherwise aloof face, and then she spoke: "You're a psychic, right?"

"Hmm?" Ye Qing asked curiously, "Why do you ask that?"

“You found me precisely; only a mentalist’s spiritual detection could do that,” the woman said. “I already sensed you when you appeared more than a hundred meters away.”

Ye Qing found this woman to be quite intelligent. He didn't deny it and nodded, saying, "Indeed, the reason I saved you was also for my own selfish reasons. I just arrived at this ruin and wanted to find out what the situation was like inside. I searched those houses for a long time but found almost nothing!"

"These ruins have existed for countless ages, witnessing countless battles of geniuses. Everything in the outer perimeter was taken long ago! Besides, there's nothing good in the outer perimeter; most of it is just low-quality combat techniques and cultivation methods." The woman paused, then said thoughtfully, "Would you like to cooperate with me? If you do, I'll share all the information about this underground palace with you!"

"How exactly will we cooperate?" Ye Qing asked.

"You saved my life. Although your cultivation is only at the early stage of the Transcendent Realm, you have spiritual power, which is quite useful. We can cooperate. I will provide information, and you can use your spiritual power to help us find our way. We will split the spoils fifty-fifty, how about it!" the woman said.

Ye Qing pondered for a moment and then said, "Alright!"

The woman then breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "Then it's a deal!"

“This underground palace belonged to a powerful race in this spirit realm countless ages ago, called the Goblin race!” the woman said. “Most of the characteristics of the Goblin race are related to the earth element, and they like to live underground… This place is a Goblin city. According to the records in my sect’s ancient books, this underground palace is divided into three areas!”

"The area we are in now is the outskirts, inhabited by some of the more ordinary goblin race, so there's nothing of value there. Plus, after countless battles of geniuses, it's been looted by wave after wave of people!"

"Further inside lies the territory inhabited by some high-ranking goblins. However, much of this area has been taken away, leaving only a few remnants. It's highly unlikely that any Heaven-level or higher combat techniques or cultivation methods will appear here," the woman said. "Deeper still lies the core of this goblin lineage, but this place is fraught with endless danger. Even for an Immortal, entering it would be extremely perilous!"

Ye Qing's expression shifted, and he said, "So... you want to enter this place and get injured?"

“One of our sect members once entered one of them! He barely escaped with his life,” Gu Qingcheng said. “This core area contains valuable things.”

At this point, she looked at Ye Qing and said, "Something so good that even a level nine civilization would be tempted!"

Hearing this, Ye Qing licked his lips, then pondered for a moment before asking, "There must be other people inside, right?"

Gu Qingcheng nodded and said, "Yes, but there aren't many people. Over the years, not many people have come to this underground palace and gained anything. So, whether it's people from advanced civilizations or the Heavenly Court, very few people come here anymore. Those who do come are mostly people who are after the core area!"

At this point, Gu Qingcheng looked at Ye Qing and said, "Right now, I'll only talk about the ones I've seen: Chen Sixue from the Academy and Wang Yuheng from the Xuantian Pavilion. Both of them are at the Immortal level. As for the others, I haven't paid much attention to them!"
