Chapter 42: Five Directions Five Elements Thunder True Scripture

After finishing the spell cultivation at night, he returned to his room and closed the door.

Entering the space, he inspected it all around, found no problems, and finished today's spirit plant catalysis task.

Then he found a place to sit down, took out the book containing the treasure, and studied it carefully, but found no flaws. Scanning it with divine sense, he didn't find anything either.

After studying it, if there was really something hidden, the most likely places were the front and back covers.

He took out the Golden Thread Escape Light Needle and peeled off the cover bit by bit. Sure enough, there was something. After completely peeling it off, a light gauze thinner than a cicada's wing appeared before Lin Zhangqing.

Gently unfolding it, it was actually a zhang square, covered with dense text and patterns. Holding it in his hand, it was as light as a feather, and he couldn't feel the weight at all. It was truly too magical! Lin Zhangqing also discovered one thing: the part of the light gauze pinched by his fingers disappeared.

To verify his guess, he released a Purple Crystal Scorpion and then covered it with the light gauze. The Purple Crystal Scorpion actually disappeared. Picking up the light gauze, the Purple Crystal Scorpion appeared again. He understood; this light gauze should have the effect of invisibility and anti-detection.

At the very least, it should be a spiritual artifact or a magic treasure. No wonder divine sense scanned it and found nothing, and it could be hidden for hundreds of years without being discovered. It was definitely a good treasure.

Lin Zhangqing tried to input spiritual energy into this light gauze, but it was simply a bottomless pit. The spiritual energy entered it, and there was no feedback at all.

Since he couldn't refine it for the time being, he would wait until the Foundation Establishment stage to try! Instead, he studied the text and patterns on it.

He saw that the whole thing was a zhang square, with text and patterns on both sides. After careful comparison, it was basically confirmed to be one of the three great spirit scripts of the ancient era, the Golden Seal Script. The Golden Seal Script was rumored to be the script used in the Immortal World, and it was only spread to the lower world later.

Fortunately, it was the Golden Seal Script. The script used in the cultivation world now was formed after the simplification of the Golden Seal Script, collectively known as Seal Script. All Seal Script characters should be able to find corresponding Golden Seal Script characters.

Now Lin Zhangqing could only guess, recognizing that this was a cultivation method named "Five Directions Five Elements Thunder True Scripture".

He browsed it roughly and felt that the cultivation method should be quite complete, as if it could be practiced to above the Deity Transformation stage. There were also various thunder-system spells and secret arts, as well as the refining methods of nine kinds of evolvable magic treasures, and corresponding treasure-passing techniques.

As for the others, he would wait until he found the data corresponding to the Golden Seal Script and Seal Script to translate them carefully. Otherwise, if he translated them wrongly, it would be a difference of a hundred thousand miles.

There was another problem: the spirit stones in the storage bag were running out, and his grandfather and aunt didn't know when they would return.

He had to find a way to earn spirit stones; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to afford the Purple Crystal Scorpions.

The next day, early in the morning, Lin Zhangqing finished his cultivation and felt that there was a little bit of progress again. His mood was quite good! Today he had an appointment with his little partners to gather on Aoyun Peak and distribute the spoils of war by the way.

He had to finish the spirit plant catalysis task on Aoyun Peak first, and prepare the things to entertain guests. The Purple Crystal Scorpions were still in the spirit beast bag and had to be brought to Aoyun Peak to sunbathe and feed by the way.

And Chuyi also had to be rewarded. It discovered the enemy more than ten miles in advance yesterday and gave Lin Zhangqing and the others sufficient preparation time, making a great contribution.

He would reward it with a Spirit Nurturing Pill first. The time since the last Vermilion Fruit consumption was too short, so it couldn't consume it again, so he could only wrong it for now.

Every time he approached Aoyun Peak, Chuyi could discover him from far away and come to welcome him. The man and the bird circled Aoyun Peak at high speed. This was the new game between the master and the servant now, and it was also the time Lin Zhangqing specifically practiced flying.

After flying enough, he landed in the courtyard, fed Chuyi the Spirit Nurturing Pill he had prepared, and let it go out to play by itself.

Then he fed the Purple Crystal Scorpions, and then he didn't need to bother with them. They would find a place to sunbathe by themselves.

Actually, he could let them forage for food by themselves now, but Nine Peaks Mountain was the Lin family's territory, and there were no wild beasts or demon beasts for them to hunt, so he still had to rely on Lin Zhangqing to raise them.

Lin Zhangqing had just set up the spirit fruits and was preparing to boil water to brew tea when he received Chuyi's early warning. He knew his partners were coming to Aoyun Peak.

He hurried to the door to welcome them. After a night of rest, everyone's spirits were good, and they should have adjusted.

"Ninth brother, what good things are you entertaining us with today?" It was still Lin Changlian who was the most lively. As soon as they met, she asked Lin Zhangqing for food and drink.

"Spirit fruits are enough, and spirit tea will let you drink until you are full." Lin Zhangqing also replied mischievously.

"Who wants to drink until full? Only a fool would drink tea until full." Lin Changlian was speechless.

Lin Zhangjie smiled and said: "I brought some osmanthus cakes made by my mother. They can be used as tea pairings later, and they should be quite good."

Lin Zhangyuan also opened his mouth and said: "I also brought stir-fried broad beans, which are quite fragrant and also very good tea pairings."

Lin Changlian let out an "ah" and said, "What I brought is jujube paste cake. I thought only I brought delicious food, but I didn't expect you to bring it too." Lin Zhanghao scratched his head embarrassedly, "The one you said is me. I really didn't expect it."

Everyone laughed loudly after hearing this. It made Lin Zhanghao even more embarrassed.

The big guys grew up together, so naturally, they wouldn't haggle over such small things.

"Come, come, come, everyone sit down. There is already too much food to eat.

Try this Green Jade Tea I just brewed. This is second-tier spirit tea, which has the effect of refreshing the mind.

Usually, it's for Foundation Establishment cultivators to drink. Today, let's enjoy the treatment of Foundation Establishment cultivators." Lin Zhangqing hurriedly greeted them to sit down and drink tea.

Everyone hurriedly tried it. Second-tier spirit tea was indeed different. After one sip, the whole person was refreshed, and their thinking was much clearer.

"Ninth brother, you didn't steal your grandfather's tea to entertain us, did you? Will you be beaten by your grandfather?" Fifth brother asked with some worry.

"It's okay, this was given to me by grandfather, no need to steal it, you can drink it with peace of mind!" Lin Zhangqing hurriedly explained; otherwise, they wouldn't dare to drink it.

Only then did everyone taste it with peace of mind. It had to be said that the effect of second-tier spirit tea was really good. If they drank a cup before each cultivation, the cultivation effect would definitely be better.

So Lin Zhangqing decided that he would drink a cup of Green Jade Spirit Tea before his own cultivation in the future to put himself into cultivation in a better state.

Then he would plant more Green Jade Tea trees in the space. Anyway, the space was large enough, and with root systems, they could be catalyzed to survive.

If there was any surplus, he could sell it to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. This idea was good! Everyone drank tea and ate cakes, laughing and playing, and time passed in a flash. It was Lin Changlian who reminded them that there were still spoils of war that hadn't been seen, which reminded everyone; otherwise, they might have forgotten about this.

Six storage bags were piled on the table, as well as dharma artifacts and some fragmented small things.

Everyone picked up one storage bag to refine. Lin Zhangqing refined it slightly and saw that it was a three-cubic-meter storage bag, and poured out all the things inside.

There were probably three or four hundred spirit stones and three bottles of pills, a few spiritual talismans, as well as some clothes and messy sundries.

He flipped through it and found a Thick Earth Technique cultivation method. Other things were useless. When the time came, he would exchange them all for the Affairs Hall! The Thick Earth Technique was also a cultivation method that was everywhere in the cultivation world and had no value.

Looking at the things poured out by his partners, they were about the same. There were about two thousand spirit stones, thirteen bottles of pills, mainly mid-to-low-grade Qi Gathering Pills, and one or two bottles of Qi Recovery Pills and healing pills.

In the last storage bag, Lin Zhangqing estimated that the things inside were about the same. After refining slightly, he poured them out.

There were not many spirit stones, and there was only one bottle of pills. However, besides clothes and sundries, he discovered a secret manual of "Four Seasons Sword Technique - Spring Sword".

Lin Zhangqing flipped through it and found that there were only six moves in total, and it looked quite good.

Everyone should copy a copy later, and send the original to the Scripture Pavilion to expand the family's foundation.

Next was the meat distribution session. There was nothing to say about splitting spirit stones equally; everyone got four hundred-plus spirit stones.

Pills and spiritual talismans were also distributed to everyone as equally as possible. Everyone didn't care about having one more or one less. If someone liked the sundries, they took them away. If no one wanted them, they were exchanged for the Affairs Hall.

The focus was still on the dharma artifact part. In total, there was one first-tier high-grade spirit boat, five first-tier mid-grade flying swords, one high-grade wood-attribute flying sword, three first-tier low-grade defensive dharma artifacts, and three mid-grade ones. However, many were damaged. Only two were intact, and the others needed to be repaired.

Lin Zhanghao suggested that the spirit boat shouldn't be divided, but kept as a common property for everyone, which would be convenient for acting together in the future.

This proposal was very good and received everyone's unanimous approval. It was decided that it would be kept by Lin Changlian first.

Everyone pushed each other on the question of who would choose first. Finally, it was unified that Lin Zhangqing had made the greatest contribution, so he chose first, and the following order was Lin Changlian, Lin Zhangjie, Lin Zhangyuan, and Lin Zhanghao.

Since it was like this, Lin Zhangqing didn't be polite and directly chose that first-tier high-grade wood-attribute flying sword and a first-tier low-grade defensive dharma artifact. However, this low-grade defensive dharma artifact had to be sent for repair.

Next, everyone also chose their own suitable dharma artifacts, and the remaining extra dharma artifacts were exchanged for the Affairs Hall.

Contribution points would be distributed to everyone when the time came. These trivial matters were all handed over to Lin Zhangjie. Who told him to be the eldest brother of everyone! The little partners were full of food and drink, and also divided spirit stones and dharma artifacts, so they said goodbye and returned home with satisfaction.

Only then did Lin Zhangqing have time to fly toward the Scripture Pavilion.
