Chapter 111: Great Divine Ability of the Five Elements Escape Technique

After consulting with the three Junior Sisters, everyone's consensus was that Lin Zhangqing should be the one to refine this bracelet.

Since that was the case, Lin Zhangqing did not stand on ceremony and immediately began the refinement, taking half an hour to complete it.

When he probed his divine sense into the bracelet's space, it was indeed worthy of being an item used by a high-level cultivator; the space inside was quite large, nearly one thousand cubic meters, though there were not many items left inside.

He poured everything out. First was a large pile of mid-grade spirit stones, totaling about a thousand pieces; this was nearly one hundred thousand spirit stones right there.

Surprisingly, there were also fifteen or sixteen high-grade spirit stones among them. Not a single low-grade spirit stone was found, but these spirit stones already amounted to a very large sum.

Lin Zhangqing roughly divided them into four equal shares, one for each person. Especially for the high-grade spirit stones, he tried his best to distribute those that matched their attributes to them. The three Junior Sisters wanted to decline, but Lin Zhangqing forced them to accept.

After dividing the spirit stones, the next step was to open the jade boxes. There were quite a few jade boxes poured out, so everyone worked together to open them.

They discovered that the spirit medicines inside had all withered and rotted, rendering them useless. It was truly a great pity.

The dozen or so bottles of spirit pills found were the same; they had all turned into a mass of black substance and completely spoiled. Surely no one would dare to use them, so they could only be thrown away.

There were also quite a few miscellaneous items, but most had rotted away, and the remaining ones had no use. Lin Zhangqing cleared them out and then used a Fireball Technique to clean them up.

However, from within those jade boxes, they managed to uncover three golden jade slips. This was likely the greatest harvest of this trip. Lin Zhangqing casually picked up one and pressed it against his forehead to view it.

Unexpectedly, the content inside actually had some connection to Lin Zhangqing. The content recorded in the jade slip was a Heaven-rank cultivation technique named "Five Elements Chaos Scripture"! It could be cultivated from the Qi Refining stage all the way to the late Nascent Soul stage, and it was the most suitable cultivation technique for cultivators with five spirit roots.

The total amount of spiritual energy or mana cultivated by the Five Elements Chaos Scripture is five times that of an ordinary cultivator, and one's foundation will be extremely solid, ensuring that a cultivator who practices this technique can walk further and higher on the immortal path.

However, it is not without its drawbacks; the time required to cultivate this technique is significant. Although it is not exaggerated to the point of needing five times the time of an ordinary technique, two to three times the time is definitely unavoidable.

And this is only under the condition of having sufficient resource supplies. If there were not enough resources, Lin Zhangqing would not dare to entertain the thought of switching to this cultivation.

Of course, the fact that this technique can be cultivated to the late Nascent Soul stage is also one of the main reasons.

This Five Elements Chaos Scripture is the core cultivation technique of the Chaos Holy Land in the Upper Realm. Releasing the technique into the Lower Realm is done in the hope that if a cultivator who practices the Five Elements Chaos Scripture can ascend to the Upper Realm,

they can find and join the Chaos Holy Land, becoming an inner sect disciple or even a core true disciple of the Holy Land, and they would also be able to obtain the subsequent parts of the Five Elements Chaos Scripture.

The reason for doing this is that every cultivator who can ascend to the Upper Realm is without exception a person of great fortune who possesses strength far exceeding their peers—a hero of their generation. For every Holy Land, such figures are highly sought after.

This was only viewing the first part. Of course, there is a lot of information inside, and there is no way to look at it carefully for the moment; he can only wait until he returns to study it later.

He handed the jade slip to Chen Zi Ya and took another jade slip from Hu Yunna's hand. Pressing it to his forehead, he discovered that this was a jade slip containing the inheritance of artifact refining. After flipping through it roughly, it could reach up to a fourth-tier upper-grade artifact refiner.

There was nothing much to see; in short, he would just copy a set and hand it over to the clan to handle later!

There would naturally be someone in the clan interested in it, and it could also enrich the clan's foundation. However, Lin Zhangqing himself was not interested in artifact refining.

If he really had to learn one of the hundred arts of cultivation, his first choice would be alchemy.

After all, this profession is more compatible with Lin Zhangqing, not to mention the support of his space, which is also a huge advantage.

He received the last jade slip from Zhao Mingxia's hand. Upon looking at it, he was greatly shocked; the content recorded inside was actually the Great Divine Ability of the Five Elements Escape Technique, composed of five minor divine abilities of the Five Elements Escape Technique.

It included the cultivation methods for each minor divine ability, the various spirit objects and spirit materials that could be used to assist in cultivation, and finally, the formation of the divine ability seal—commonly known as the divine ability seed—in the dantian. The entire cultivation process was recorded in great detail. Once all five minor escape divine abilities were mastered, they could be fused into the Great Divine Ability of the Five Elements Escape Technique. There was nothing more to say; this also had to be copied.

This escape divine ability must be discussed with the Clan Leader and his grandfather later; it must be strictly controlled.

It should only be circulated within a small circle of trusted Foundation Establishment cultivators in the clan; there is no need for ordinary clansmen to know. If the news were to leak out, the Lin Family would be in danger.

Lin Zhangqing believed that for the sake of a divine ability inheritance, plenty of people would come to cause trouble for the Lin Family, and it was even highly possible they would break down the doors of Nine Peaks Mountain to forcibly seize the inheritance!

He passed the jade slip to the next person to view, and only after everyone had finished did he express his intentions.

Everyone could copy all three jade slips, but he asked everyone not to spread them casually, especially the Five Elements Chaos Scripture, because Lin Zhangqing himself was preparing to switch to cultivating the Five Elements Chaos Scripture.

After hearing this, the three Junior Sisters all indicated that they would only copy the artifact refining inheritance and the Great Divine Ability of the Five Elements Escape Technique; the Five Elements Chaos Scripture did not match their attributes, so they would not copy it.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhangqing knew that the three Junior Sisters were deliberately yielding to him. He was very grateful in his heart and could only keep it in mind for now.

Next were a few magic treasures. That's right, magic treasures, because Lin Zhangqing tried to input spiritual energy into them, but they were like stones sinking into the sea. If they were spiritual artifacts, there would at least be some reaction, so he confirmed these were all magic treasures.

Five magic treasure flying swords of the five elements—one each of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—and a magic treasure shield with a tiger-head pattern.

Lin Zhangqing also took out the artifact refining furnace he had collected earlier, plus the storage bracelet, making exactly eight magic treasures.

Because of the three Junior Sisters yielding the Five Elements Chaos Scripture earlier, Lin Zhangqing specifically let the three Junior Sisters choose first.

After the three of them discussed it among themselves, they decided that Chen Zi Ya would choose first, Hu Yunna second, and Zhao Mingxia third. Needless to say, Lin Zhangqing would be fourth.

Chen Zi Ya went first; she chose a water-attribute magic treasure flying sword. Hu Yunna chose the artifact refining furnace. Zhao Mingxia chose the magic treasure shield. Lin Zhangqing chose a wood-attribute magic treasure flying sword.

In the second round, Chen Zi Ya chose a metal-attribute magic treasure flying sword. Hu Yunna chose a fire-attribute magic treasure flying sword. Zhao Mingxia hesitated for a moment and chose the storage bracelet. Lin Zhangqing had no choice; in the end, only the earth-attribute magic treasure flying sword was left.

After choosing, Lin Zhangqing said to Zhao Mingxia, "Junior Sister Zhao, this earth-attribute flying sword is more suitable for you. Shall we swap?"

Zhao Mingxia shook her head and refused, "Senior Brother, I am not good at fighting. A flying sword in my hands would be a waste; it is more suitable in Senior Brother's hands."

Since she said so, Lin Zhangqing could only let it go. Through these few days of getting along, Lin Zhangqing also discovered that the few Junior Sisters were quite reliable, and their temperaments were very good; they were all people worth befriending.

Including the three Junior Sisters yielding the Five Elements Chaos Scripture earlier, and now Zhao Mingxia yielding the earth-attribute magic treasure flying sword to him, he kept all of these in his heart.

Seeing that the time was about right, Lin Zhangqing recalled all the Purple Crystal Scorpions at the cave entrance back into his spirit insect bag.

Chen Zi Ya controlled the formation hub, opened a gap, waited for everyone to come out, and then performed a series of incantations outside to restore the formation to its original state.

This formation had the Spirit Eye Spring as its energy core; as long as it was not destroyed, it could still support it for a long time, and it would be very difficult for others to discover it without special means.

Just as they were leaving, Lin Zhangqing had a sudden inspiration. He deliberately walked at the very end and left Lin Zhangliu by the Spirit Eye Spring, letting it stretch its roots into the Spirit Eye Spring, thinking that while there was still a little time, it would be good to absorb a bit more spiritual energy.

Anyway, it was a void creature; a formation definitely could not block it.
