Chapter 129: Secret Not to be Transmitted

The three returned to the hall, where his grandfather was already brewing Green Jade Tea. Everyone sat down, and after drinking a few cups of tea,

his grandfather spoke, "Mao Bin, tell us about your entire Foundation Establishment process, and be detailed, so it can serve as a reference for Qing'er's future Foundation Establishment."

His second uncle nodded after hearing this, thought for a moment, and then said, "It seems my Foundation Establishment process was the same as what Father taught and what our ancestors recorded in the family's Scripture Pavilion."

"After entering, I adjusted my body and mind, and then I began to continuously compress the spiritual energy in my dantian."

"Until it was compressed to the extreme and I felt it couldn't be compressed anymore, I took out the Foundation Establishment Pill and consumed it. After the medicinal effect of the Foundation Establishment Pill spread, I dashed through in one go, and then I succeeded."

"The only thing was that I felt my divine sense was strong, and controlling spiritual energy and so on was quite handy!"

"And compressing spiritual energy wasn't as difficult as Father said! I actually think this process should be considered very smooth."

His grandfather nodded after hearing this and didn't say anything else.

His father said, "Second Brother, your Foundation Establishment process is basically the same as mine!"

Lin Zhangqing also agreed, "Yes, Second Uncle! You and my father completed Foundation Establishment on the same day and came out of seclusion on the same day."

"The time you used for Foundation Establishment was very short, nearly two months faster than Aunt's, and most importantly, it seems it was especially smooth."

At this time, his grandfather also said, "It is very likely that it should be because of the Hundred Flowers Drunken Soul Wine."

"In the future, if any clansmen come to exchange or purchase it! You must all insist that there is none left; otherwise, there will certainly be endless trouble!"

The three knew that what his grandfather said was reasonable, and they didn't want to encounter such trouble, so they hurriedly promised that they would insist there was none left and would not exchange or sell it to anyone again.

His grandfather nodded, believing that the few of them knew the importance of the matter, and didn't say anything else.

After considering it for a while, he took out two spiritual artifacts and two secret manuals from his storage bag.

First, he gave the two spiritual artifacts, one offensive and one defensive, to his second uncle. They were also a second-grade lower-grade flying sword and a second-grade middle-grade shield-type spiritual artifact, but they were both metal-attribute spiritual artifacts, just right for his second uncle's attribute.

His second uncle thanked his grandfather with a grin and then stepped forward to take the two spiritual artifacts.

Then his grandfather gave the two secret manuals to Lin Zhangqing's father and second uncle, one for each.

He introduced them solemnly, "This is a Heaven-grade cultivation technique, the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment chapters of the Five Directions Five Elements Thunder True Scripture. There are subsequent chapters."

"But the other contents will be passed on to you when your cultivation reaches that level. Moreover, in the future, when you leave the clan land, you must leave this cultivation technique manual behind. It is best to memorize the manual and return it to me."

"This cultivation technique is also Qing'er's opportunity. In the future, this Thunder True Scripture will be the secret not to be transmitted of our family's lineage."

"If Mao Ting or Little Ling get married in the future, their Dao companions must be approved by all of us before they can be taught the Thunder True Scripture. They are not allowed to teach it privately."

His father and second uncle looked at each other, never expecting that their family had such a powerful cultivation technique. However, doesn't a lightning-attribute cultivation technique require a lightning spirit root to practice? Finally, his second uncle asked this question, "Dad! The name sounds like a lightning-attribute cultivation technique. Doesn't it require a lightning spirit root to practice?"

His grandfather glared at him and said, "You haven't even looked at it, and you know it can't be practiced? Why would I give it to you if it couldn't be practiced?"

Lin Zhangqing hurriedly came out to explain, "Second Uncle, Father, this technique is the core cultivation technique of the Thunder Sacred Land in the Upper Realm. Due to some reasons, it spread to our realm."

"And after thousands of years of research and improvement by the Thunder Sacred Land, anyone with an earth spirit root can practice it to produce lightning mana."

"It's just that this lightning mana is stored in one lightning aperture after another, and each aperture needs a lightning-attribute spiritual object or spiritual artifact as a suppressing object."

"Now, both Grandfather and I have already cultivated several lightning apertures."

After saying this, he reached out and performed a Palm Thunder, which boomed on the floor of the hall. Fortunately, because his father and second uncle were in seclusion, the cave abode's defensive array was always in an activated state; otherwise, the sound of thunder might have spread to the outside.

His father and second uncle opened their eyes wide, looking at the small hole blasted out by the Palm Thunder on the ground. Only then did they believe what Lin Zhangqing said.

Knowing that the two brothers already believed that the cultivation technique could be practiced, his grandfather continued, "You yourselves also said just now that without a lightning spirit root, it's impossible to practice lightning mana. But this cultivation technique can indeed be practiced, and even various divine thunders can be practiced and used."

"Like the Geng Metal Divine Thunder and Gui Water Yin Thunder that Qing'er mainly practices, and the Wu Earth Divine Thunder and Yi Wood Yin Thunder that I mainly practice, do you understand the preciousness of this cultivation technique now?"

Hearing this, his father and second uncle both hurriedly nodded, indicating they understood.

At this time, his father, Lin Maosheng, asked, "Then if our whole family can suddenly use lightning-system spells, wouldn't we be exposed directly?"

His grandfather nodded, gratified that he could think of this question, and explained, "So, it absolutely cannot be used in daily life; it can only be used as a trump card."

"Moreover, when you are forced to use lightning techniques, you must ensure that the news cannot leak out. When necessary, you must silence the witnesses; you absolutely cannot be soft-hearted. Otherwise, the one who will suffer will certainly be yourselves."

"You wouldn't want a day to come when some great expert breaks into Nine Peaks Mountain to forcibly seize the Thunder True Scripture, would you?"

"Think about the consequences if such a thing happens. Would the Lin family still be able to exist then?"

His father and second uncle shuddered upon hearing this; they didn't even dare to think about that kind of scene.

His father, Lin Fandao, told them the worst result directly, extinguishing the last bit of luck in their hearts.

Subsequently, they secretly made up their minds that if they were forced to use lightning techniques, they would definitely not be soft-hearted and would absolutely not leave any living witnesses.

The two solemnly promised their father together that they would absolutely not let the news leak out, and even more so, they would not put the family in danger because of being soft-hearted.

His grandfather stared at them seriously and said, "It's good that you know the seriousness of the consequences of leaking the news."

"I let you practice the Thunder True Scripture because the Thunder True Scripture also has the effect of body refining. You will know this after you practice it in the future."

"More importantly, it is because from the Purple Mansion stage onward, one must undergo lightning tribulation to advance. Only by practicing the Thunder True Scripture can you have more certainty in passing it, so as not to fall under the lightning tribulation. Do you understand?"

His father and second uncle nodded together, indicating they understood.

His grandfather continued, "Practicing the Thunder True Scripture requires opening 365 lightning apertures, and each aperture also needs a suppressing object. I will support you with a small portion, but you need to find a way for the remaining majority yourselves!"

His second uncle laughed and said, "These apertures should be opened one by one, right? If so, we can solve it all ourselves."

"We can't always let Father worry about everything. After all, we are Foundation Establishment cultivators now; we have the ability to earn spirit stones ourselves."

His father also interjected, "Second Brother is right. In the future, we will hunt more demonic beasts, and we will always be able to earn enough spirit stones for our own cultivation and to purchase suppressing objects."

Hearing his two sons say this, as their father, he was still very gratified, "It's very good that you can think this way, but for now, you should still focus on completing the Hundred-Day Foundation Establishment!"

"As for the matter of practicing the Thunder True Scripture, we'll talk about it later. For now, just do as I say! Also, regarding the matter of your successful Foundation Establishment this time, we will discuss it after the Clan Leader comes, and then decide whether to announce it to the outside world. It is very likely that we won't let outsiders know. You should have a count in your hearts first."

His father laughed, "Anyway, we have already succeeded in Foundation Establishment. Whether it's announced or not, we are Foundation Establishment cultivators. I don't care about these empty names; Father and the Clan Leader can decide."

His second uncle also chuckled, "Actually, it's fine not to announce it. Perhaps by then, we can even ambush one or two bastards!"

"It's just a pity that we can't hold a Foundation Establishment Ceremony to receive some gifts or something; it lacks a little bit of flavor! Hehe!"

His grandfather heard this, glared at him, and said unhappily, "After finishing this cup of tea, you two go back and complete the Hundred-Day Foundation Establishment properly."

"You can take a look at the Thunder True Scripture first to understand it, but don't practice it yet. Wait until I demonstrate it to you once in the future before you start practicing. Do you understand?"

Hearing his grandfather's instructions, his father and second uncle hurriedly agreed.

After drinking the tea, they each took the two spiritual artifacts and the Thunder True Scripture manual and returned to their cultivation rooms, preparing to complete the most important Hundred-Day Foundation Establishment.
