148: Chapter 148 Thunderclap

Just as Lin Shen was preparing to leave the Scripture Pavilion, the black-robed figure on the fifth floor suddenly spoke slowly.

Hearing this voice, a flash of pleasant surprise crossed Lin Shen's eyes, and he couldn't help but quickly turn his head to look back.

When facing Mo Shenggu previously, there had also been many times right before he was about to leave that Mo Shenggu would call out to him like this.

And every single time without exception, Mo Shenggu would give him certain resources or provide important information.

Right now, this black-robed Elder suddenly calling out to him had a high possibility of being related to the Cultivation Technique he practiced.

"This Senior Elder, I wonder what important matter you have in calling this Disciple?"

Harboring a heart of anticipation, Lin Shen hurriedly cupped his hands respectfully and asked cautiously.

"You haven't selected a Cultivation Technique yet? The token has already been used. If you miss this opportunity, the next time will be at your own expense."

The voice of the black-robed figure slowly sounded.

Hearing these words, the anticipation in Lin Shen's heart instantly fell through, but adhering to the principle of not wasting it, he still returned to the fourth floor and selected a lightning-attribute escape technique.

This lightning-attribute escape technique was named — Startling Thunder Flash. It could consume a large amount of Spiritual Qi to flash quickly, and when practiced to the Major Achievement Realm, it could even complete multiple instantaneous movements in a single instant, shuttling ten thousand meters away.

"This is rather my previous oversight. All along, I have relied on my lightning-attribute Spiritual Qi to enhance my speed, and since my speed has always been fast enough, I actually forgot to Cultivate a speed-aspect Cultivation Technique."

Obtaining this Startling Thunder Flash using the opportunity of that white jade token meant Lin Shen was not suffering a loss after all.

As long as he cultivated wholeheartedly, utilized the Luck within the fate-seizing jade pendant for an Epiphany, and waited until he successfully cultivated this Startling Thunder Flash, his own strength would definitely greatly increase.

Copying this Startling Thunder Flash with a Jade Slip, Lin Shen cupped his hands toward the fifth floor direction: "Many thanks to Senior Elder for the reminder, but this place truly does not have a Cultivation Technique that this Disciple admires. This Disciple will take his leave now!"

Cupping his hands respectfully, Lin Shen sighed, put away the Startling Thunder Flash copied with the Jade Slip, and walked outside the Scripture Pavilion.

That black-robed figure inside the fifth floor glanced at Lin Shen, shook his head slightly, and did not say much else.

However, just as Lin Shen was about to walk out of the Scripture Pavilion, the communication spirit talisman at his waist suddenly flashed.

Listening to the transmission within the communication spirit talisman, that black-robed figure suddenly spoke: "That kid Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu just sent me a transmission asking me to properly guide you when you select a Cultivation Technique. But unfortunately, you didn't choose any Cultivation Technique from my Scripture Pavilion. However, I have already accepted this favor, so as a Senior, I will point out a clear path for you."

"Senior Elder, please speak. This Disciple is all ears!"

Lin Shen, who was originally planning and scheming about where to go to find a Cultivation Technique suitable for his Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm, immediately turned back in pleasant surprise upon hearing these words.

Who would have expected such twists and turns.

Right at the very end, when he was truly preparing to leave, there was still an unexpected harvest.

At the same time, Lin Shen felt a bit more gratitude toward Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu in his heart.

He knew that the Sect Elder on the fifth floor had accepted a favor from Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu, which was why he was willing to give him some guidance.

"Zezhou, Land of Leize!"

The black-robed figure on the fifth floor slowly said: "Five to six hundred years ago, I was also pursuing the opportunity for a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm and once traveled around Zezhou. As a result, I mistakenly entered a place called the Land of Leize. There were many tribes there that did not concern themselves with worldly affairs, and all of them exclusively cultivated lightning-attribute Cultivation Techniques. If the lightning-attribute Cultivation Techniques in the Scripture Pavilion still do not suit you, you might be able to make a trip to the Land of Leize in Zezhou, and perhaps you can obtain the truly most suitable lightning-attribute Cultivation Technique for you from those tribes."

As he spoke, a sheepskin scroll was thrown down from the fifth floor. Seeing this sheepskin scroll thrown down from the fifth floor, Lin Shen hurriedly reached out and caught it.

Watching Lin Shen catch the sheepskin scroll, the voice in the fifth floor sounded once more: "The Land of Leize is extremely concealed. Back then, I also accidentally stumbled into it and expended a huge price before being teleported out from inside, and it is relatively dangerous inside as well. This is the map landmark of when I accidentally entered the Land of Leize back then. As for how to enter the Land of Leize, I do not know either; back then I also muddle-headedly stumbled into it. Whether you can enter this so-called Land of Leize depends entirely on your own fate. If you lack this fate, you can only blame your bad Luck."

These words were not meant to deceive Lin Shen.

Back then, he was traveling in Zezhou and accidentally offended a local aristocratic clan. While being hunted down by multiple Peak Foundation Establishment practitioners, he carelessly stumbled into that Land of Leize.

He also had gains within the Land of Leize, but he had paid an extremely heavy price when leaving.

Right now, if Lin Shen wanted to pursue a truly suitable lightning-attribute Cultivation Technique for himself, in this Southern Wilderness, I'm afraid only that Land of Leize held the most hope.

After all, in the Land of Leize, everyone cultivated lightning-attribute Cultivation Techniques. Among so many Cultivation Techniques, there would always be one that was most suitable for Lin Shen.

As long as he was willing to pay a certain price, and as long as he had the Luck to enter the Land of Leize, then there would definitely be an extremely high possibility of obtaining what his heart desired.

Looking at the sheepskin scroll in his hand, upon hearing the instructions of that figure in the fifth floor, Lin Shen nodded with a solemn expression and cupped his hands, saying: "Many thanks to Senior Elder for informing me, this Disciple already understands."

Seeing Lin Shen nod, another jade pendant flew down from the fifth floor and arrived in the palm of Lin Shen's hand.

The voice inside the fifth floor continued to ring out: "Take this jade pendant. If you are fortunate enough to enter the Land of Leize, you can go to the Canglei Tribe to find a woman named Leixi. She might be able to provide you with some help, of course, on the premise that she is still alive after all these years."

Taking the token, Lin Shen nodded, looked toward the direction of the fifth floor, and asked: "Many thanks, Senior Elder. I wonder if Senior Elder has any words that need me to bring?"

So many years had passed, yet the Sect Elder on the fifth floor could still keep a jade pendant given to him by a woman; the relationship between the two was definitely not simple.

Therefore, while taking the jade pendant, Lin Shen deliberately asked this sentence to see if there was anything that needed to be brought by himself.

"There is too much I want to say, so it's better not to say it! Speaking of it would only add to the sorrow. If she is still alive and asks you about me, just tell her that I perished long ago..."

The voice from the fifth floor spread out, carrying a trace of desolation and sighs of emotion...

"Yes, this Disciple understands!"

Hearing this, Lin Shen did not say much else, only nodded silently and put this jade pendant away into the Storage Pouch.

He cupped his hands toward the direction of the fifth floor, and seeing that he didn't say anything more, he also consciously and silently departed.

"Sigh, I received my Revered Master's last will to guard Chiyun Valley for all my life. If you are still alive, it would be better to part ways and live our separate lives; if you have perished long ago, consider it my apology to you..."

After Lin Shen left, a voice leisurely sounded from within the fifth floor...
