Chapter 26: Li Laodao

Now the spirit power operation route and spirit power attributes had been solved, but the second element of the cultivation method, the cultivation method divine ability, he had no clue about until now.

Although the cultivation methods in the Treasure Pavilion had divine abilities, he could copy them, but he disliked the divine abilities in those cultivation methods for being too weak and didn't look up to them.

Moreover, those divine abilities were not compatible with his Ten Extremes Body.

Divine ability was the most complex part of the cultivation method. Long Xuan was stuck for a while and couldn't proceed.

So he simply skipped this part and went to complete the third element of the cultivation method first.

The third element of the cultivation method was supporting spirit techniques. Supporting spirit techniques could be one or many, without a limit on quantity, as long as they were perfectly compatible with the cultivation method.

Long Xuan naturally wouldn't only create one supporting spirit technique for the "Ten Extremes Scripture," but time was limited. Creating one spirit technique in the early stage was enough. Creating the second and third ones wouldn't be too late when he had plenty of time in the future.

Long Xuan had too many inspirations about how to create spirit techniques. Having watched so many anime and novels in his past life, he had plenty of inspiration.

Creating spirit techniques first required excluding abilities that couldn't be completed, such as spatial abilities, time abilities, and those world-destroying abilities. Don't even think about them.

Spirit techniques were limited to abilities that could be completed through spirit power changes. The more terrifying the ability, the more impossible it was to create it just by changing spirit power.

Therefore, when creating spirit techniques, don't think that the stronger the ability, the better. This would only lead to nothing.

Abilities that could be unleashed through spirit power changes were extremely few. They weren't so easy to think of at all.

And supporting spirit techniques must be 100% compatible with the cultivation method, fully utilizing the characteristics of the cultivation method, perfectly unleashing the maximum power of the cultivation method. It wasn't just thinking of an ability that could be used.

And the supporting spirit technique must be related to attack ability.

In this way, the scope had to be narrowed again. There wasn't much thinking that could be diverged. Precisely because there were few choices, Long Xuan soon had an idea.

Since the cultivation method was a five-element attribute cultivation method that had never appeared in this world, then as its perfect match, the spirit technique's initial idea was best to use five attributes at the same time. This was the characteristic of the cultivation method.

A spirit technique that could use five kinds of spirit power at the same time was a combination skill. Multi-attribute involved spirit techniques, even if they weren't created by Long Xuan, he imagined they were rare in this world, and this kind of combination skill would likely be stronger than single-attribute spirit techniques.

His idea was to gather spirit power in the palm, make it spin at high speed, and continuously compress it, finally forming a high-speed rotating and compressed spirit power ball, and finally throwing it at the enemy to attack the enemy through detonation.

If it was single-attribute spirit power, this move might not be very strong, and it was a general spirit technique that everyone could learn.

But Long Xuan possessed five-element attribute spirit power. If he injected five-element spirit power into the spirit power ball, made the spirit power complete the five-element great cycle, and then rotated and compressed it, what would be the power of the explosion produced when finally thrown at the enemy?

Long Xuan couldn't estimate it, but he imagined the attack power definitely wouldn't be very low.

And this spirit technique was absolutely perfectly compatible with the "Ten Extremes Scripture," both being five-element attributes that had never appeared in this world, and could perfectly call upon five different powers. The compatibility was absolutely 100%, simply tailored for this cultivation method.

Long Xuan nodded with satisfaction. He imagined the power of this move absolutely wouldn't be bad. That's it!

The principle of this spirit technique was very simple, even so simple that it didn't take many words to compile it into a spirit technique.

The only difficulty was that it required the practitioner to have extremely high control over spirit power and also have powerful soul power.

And Long Xuan, as an alchemist, had powerful soul power as a hard condition, and also needed extremely high spirit power control to control fire. He completely met these two restrictive conditions.

Therefore, Long Xuan spent a very short time researching this spirit technique, completing it in just one month.

Looking at this spirit technique named "Five Elements Jade" in his hand, Long Xuan was full of sense of achievement.

The "Five Elements Jade" he created was divided into four styles according to several cycles of the five elements theory.

First style: mutual generation cycle. The endurance was the highest. The Five Elements Jade unleashed was continuous, with plenty of stamina.

Second style: mutual recovery cycle. The attack power was the highest. The Five Elements Jade unleashed was unstoppable, with plenty of momentum.

Third style: mutual destruction cycle. The explosive power was the highest. The Five Elements Jade unleashed could produce explosive damage, full of power.

The name of the last style was "Extreme Jade," which was the Five Elements Jade unleashed using only a single attribute. Although each had its own characteristics, the power was relatively weak.

This was the first spirit technique he created from scratch according to his own ideas. It was all his hard work. Although it was very simple, the power was very extraordinary.

He easily blasted the Qian Clan Treasure Pavilion into holes in the illusion, which was enough to prove its power.

This was still when his realm was low and his spirit power was thin, and the mutated spirit power was only a fusion of two attributes.

When his spirit power was composed of Kan, Lin, Zhui, Yan, Gui... five major mutated spirit powers in the future, ghost knows what kind of strength this move of his could reach.

Long Xuan was extremely excited. The only thing that didn't satisfy him was that he still didn't know how to design divine abilities for the "Ten Extremes Scripture."

He didn't want to borrow the divine abilities of ordinary cultivation methods, but he didn't know how to realize the divine abilities he thought of with his imagination using text. He sat on the chair with a worried face. Being stuck was truly a painful thing.

"Little friend Long? Are you there?"

Outside the inn door, an old man's voice came.

He was very familiar with this voice. It was precisely that Li Laodao who was often his neighbor when setting up a stall.

If it weren't for the Gu that Li Laodao refined being too hard to guard against, forcing him to use microscopic ability to counter it, Long Xuan might not have refined the Heavenly Mechanism Eye so early.

Without the Heavenly Mechanism Eye, his matter of creating cultivation methods might have been delayed for who knows how long. Speaking of which, Long Xuan still had to thank him.

"I'm staying at an inn and you can still find me. Your news is very well-informed."

Long Xuan helplessly opened the door to welcome him in and closed the door again.

This Li Laodao was familiar and liked to get close to him. He didn't expect that even after hiding in an inn, he could still be harassed by him. He didn't know how he found himself. Long Xuan was helpless.

"Don't say that, as if I specially inquired about your location."

"Now who in the entire market doesn't know that you, this masked hero, often run here? Outside, it is now rumored that you have taken a fancy to that Qian Clan eldest young miss. Otherwise, why don't you go home and run to this inn every day? Are spirit stones burning?" Li Laodao teased.

"Nonsense, this is completely not the case. This is slander. They are slandering me. They are slandering me!"

"Which turtle grandson is spreading rumors? How can they slander someone's innocence out of thin air!"

Hearing such rumors about himself outside, Long Xuan's face changed instantly, and he completely broke his defense.

"Why are you excited? A love for beauty is common to all. I wouldn't laugh at you for anything."

"Speaking of which, ever since Qian Jinjin stopped wearing a veil, that stunning beauty has captured all the talents. There are many people who admire her, and you are not the only one. It's not shameful to say it." Li Laodao had a teasing look.

Long Xuan was tired. Destroy it. He was too lazy to explain. Explaining was covering up, and covering up was the truth. He simply wouldn't explain, and moreover, he couldn't explain it clearly.

"Alright, no business, no visit. Just state your purpose directly. I'm very busy and don't have time to listen to your gossip."

Long Xuan stopped the words he was about to continue and asked straight to the point.
