Chapter 680

So he had already decided not to rack his brains over this problem anymore; tonight, when Li Qinchuan returned, he would lay the issue out and explain it clearly to him.

He would let him decide for himself whether or not he truly wanted to cultivate this technique.

If he wanted to cultivate it, he would have to be responsible for his own cultivation resources; otherwise, he shouldn't cultivate it at all! He could just continue cultivating the ordinary technique he was using now!

Without realizing it, two or three hours had passed. Lin Zhangqing suddenly felt a slight fluctuation in the formation and knew that Li Qinchuan had returned! He then summoned him over through Chuyi.

As soon as he saw Lin Zhangqing, he said very happily, "Brother-in-law, you've come out of seclusion? Did the cultivation go smoothly?"

Lin Zhangqing smiled and nodded, saying, "It was fine, quite smooth! How has that person been these past few days? Are they still continuing to follow you?"

Li Qinchuan nodded and said, "Still the same; they even followed behind me when I came back just now!"

Lin Zhangqing had already reacted by now, knowing that the person was definitely instigated by Wei Zhanggeng.

As for why they hadn't made a move yet, he already had some guesses, more or less.

That was that the Black Lotus Shadow Pavilion should have already notified Wei Zhanggeng that their two attempts at interception had both failed.

This let Wei Zhanggeng know that his strength was extremely formidable, and thus he dared not act rashly again.

In any case, no matter how much Lin Zhangqing thought about it, this was the only possibility!

But Lin Zhangqing did not tell Li Qinchuan about this guess; instead, he said, "Then you must remain vigilant yourself. Do not be careless, or you might be harmed by someone in the dark!"

Li Qinchuan nodded and said earnestly, "Brother-in-law, don't worry! Since it concerns my own life, I will definitely not let my guard down!"

"By the way, Brother-in-law, the market has been quite good recently."

"I've sold quite a few second-tier spirit materials, and now I have nearly 32,000 sect contribution points in my hands! But there aren't many second-tier spirit materials left. Brother-in-law, do you think you could replenish some for me?"

Lin Zhangqing nodded, then threw his identity jade token to him and said, "Keep the share of the reward that belongs to you from those contribution points, and transfer the rest to me. Wait a moment, and I will replenish some spirit materials for you!"

After hearing this, Li Qinchuan was incredibly happy; he had finally received his reward, and it was actually over 6,400 sect contribution points.

One had to know that within the Tianshui Sect, 5,000 contribution points were enough to buy a pill to help his mother with Foundation Establishment! As for the remaining contribution points, he already had a plan for them.

Besides keeping a portion to buy cultivation resources, he had long had his eye on several items he wanted to buy as gifts for his mother and sister.

He hurriedly transferred the contribution points to Lin Zhangqing's identity jade token, leaving behind the share that was his.

Lin Zhangqing then threw him a storage bag he had prepared earlier, which was filled with second-tier spirit materials.

After finishing these things, Lin Zhangqing asked again, "Do you have any thoughts on the technique you are currently cultivating?"

Li Qinchuan found this a bit baffling, but he still answered honestly, "It's just like that. What thoughts could I have about an ordinary technique like the 'Return to Origin Technique'? Could it be that you have a technique more suitable for me to cultivate, Brother-in-law?"

Lin Zhangqing hadn't expected this kid to be so smart, guessing it all at once, so he stopped being evasive.

He said directly, "I have a high-grade technique suitable for those with five spirit roots! Its characteristic is that the spiritual power or mana cultivated is more than five times deeper than that of cultivators of the same rank, and it also has some auxiliary effects when advancing in rank."

"However, the drawback of this technique is also very obvious: the progress is extremely slow, and the consumption of cultivation resources is more than five times that of ordinary techniques. But I think that if you cultivate this technique, you will have a tiny chance of forming a Golden Core; I can't guarantee anything after that!"

"And if you continue cultivating the current 'Return to Origin Technique', the highest level I can see you reaching is merely the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment."

"So now, it depends on your own choice! Of course, you don't have to make a decision right now; you can consider it seriously for a while, and just tell me when you have a result!"

However, contrary to Lin Zhangqing's expectations, Li Qinchuan only hesitated for a moment!

He stood up directly, took two steps back, and knelt down, kowtowing heavily to Lin Zhangqing three times.

Only then did he say with a firm attitude, "Thank you, Master, for bestowing the technique. This disciple is willing to switch to the technique you mentioned!"

Seeing him like this, Lin Zhangqing nodded and said, "Alright! I understand. You can get up first!"

"Before passing on the technique, I must roughly tell you about its origin, so you aren't completely in the dark! The technique you are going to cultivate is called the 'Five Elements Chaos Sutra', and its quality is beyond your imagination!"

"I won't tell you exactly how high it is; you can savor it slowly with your heart in the future!"

"Its background is very significant; it is a technique passed down from the Chaos Holy Land in the Upper Realm. Of course, it is also the supreme inheritance of my Lin family."

"If it weren't for your sister's sake, and the fear that you would die of old age before my eyes, I would not have made an exception to pass it on to you!"

"So listen well: you are not allowed to pass it on to anyone else."

"Even if it's your children in the future, you are not allowed to pass the technique on to them without my permission. Do you understand?"

Hearing his brother-in-law say this, Li Qinchuan finally realized that the origin of this technique actually involved a Holy Land in the Upper Realm.

He was instantly so excited that his hair stood on end, and he knew that this might be the greatest opportunity he would ever receive in his life!

He was so grateful that his eyes filled with tears, and he choked out, "Thank you, Brother-in-law! I promise I will never mention this technique to anyone in the future! I also promise I will absolutely not pass it on!"

After saying this, he swore a venomous Heavenly Dao oath.

Only then did Lin Zhangqing take out the jade slip he had prepared early on and solemnly placed it in his hand.

Then he continued, "Inside this is the Qi Refining chapter of the 'Five Elements Chaos Sutra'."

"When you cultivate to near the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, I will naturally give you the subsequent parts of the technique!"

"During this time, understand and perceive it carefully first. If there is anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me. Only start your seclusion to switch techniques after you have fully digested it."

"But you must be mentally prepared; after switching, you might only have the cultivation of the second or third layer of Qi Refining left!"

Li Qinchuan received the jade slip respectfully and carefully tucked it into his bosom for safekeeping.
