378: Chapter 378 Introduction to the "Five Elements Primordial Scripture"!

The space within was not empty; rather, it was packed to the brim!

Radiant and spirit-energy-overflowing spiritual herbs were neatly organized into categories!

There was the "Crimson Flame Vermilion Fruit," entirely reddish-gold and shaped like leaping flames;

There was the "Cold Water Jade Marrow," crystal clear with what seemed like flowing water circulating inside;

There was the "Wutu Spirit Root," heavy and simple, emitting the aura of the earth;

There was the "Gengjin Sword Grass," its sharp aura restrained and shaped like a small sword;

And there was the "Yimu Spirit Vine," brimming with vitality, its leaf veins resembling natural runes...

Every single one was a treasure of at least the fifth grade or higher, and there were even several rare wonders emitting an even more majestic and obscure aura, suspected to be of the sixth or even seventh grade!

Besides these core five-element attribute spiritual herbs, there was also a dazzling array of fourth and fifth-grade auxiliary medicines for blending and stabilizing medicinal properties, in staggering quantities!

"As expected... these are the resources Her Highness Anya promised!"

A surge of wild joy rose in Qin Yan's heart; he could hardly restrain himself from cheering aloud.

He was all too familiar with this resource list; it was the "sky-high price" list he had given Anya, required for a perfect entry into the "Five Elements Primordial Scripture"!

"Finally... it's here!"

Qin Yan felt as if a heavy stone that had been pressing on his heart for a long time had finally dropped.

With these resources, the greatest obstacle to him breaking through to the fourth grade and formally embarking on the path of Qi Refinement had been cleared!

Amidst his joy, he couldn't help but complain inwardly: "But Her Highness Anya really is quite carefree... to send such a precious batch of resources directly via a smart robot?

Isn't she afraid of something going wrong midway, or them being swapped? She didn't even give me a heads-up..."

But complaints aside, Qin Yan's mood was more excited and eager than ever before.

"No time to lose!"

His gaze became sharp. "The resources are in place, and I have spent enough time consolidating at the Third Grade Limit.

Today... is the best time to break through to the fourth grade!"

He suppressed the urge to take out the resources immediately.

Because he knew that the first step of the breakthrough wasn't using the resources directly, but rather successfully entering the threshold of the "Five Elements Primordial Scripture" first!

Only by entering the threshold of the cultivation technique and forming the correct energy circulation path and the embryonic form of the True Qi seed...

...could he efficiently guide and absorb the medicinal power of these rare spiritual herbs to complete the most critical True Qi transformation and foundation-laying.

Qin Yan calmed his mind and summoned the personal panel in his head. His gaze fell upon the cultivation technique column:

[Qi Refinement Technique: Five Elements Primordial Scripture (Not Entered)]

Immediately after, his gaze shifted to the Skill Points—95 points.

"This 'Five Elements Primordial Scripture' is truly extraordinary; the Skill Points required to enter the threshold are as high as 90!"

Qin Yan sighed inwardly.

These past few days, he had devoted almost all his time to Spear Technique training, and his Skill Points had grown rapidly, finally breaking the 90-point mark yesterday.

On the panel, the indicator to add points behind "Not Entered" finally lit up.

"Everything is ready, except for the 'East Wind.' And this 'East Wind' is now in my hands!"

Qin Yan no longer hesitated. Concentrating his thoughts, he decisively invested all 90 Skill Points at once into advancing the entry of the "Five Elements Primordial Scripture"!

"Add points!"

"Buzz—!"

It was as if a grand bell had been struck in the depths of his soul!

A vast, mysterious, and all-encompassing flow of information, like a bursting galaxy, surged into Qin Yan's mind!

"The five elements rotate, generating and overcoming each other, flowing endlessly, forming a universe of their own. Yin and Yang create and transform, returning to the Primordial..."

The general outline and Profound Truth of the "Five Elements Primordial Scripture" first emerged. Every word seemed to contain the ultimate truths of heaven and earth, instantly raising Qin Yan's understanding of the "Five Elements" to a whole new level.

Immediately after, more specific and subtle cultivation methods unfolded slowly like a scroll:

"First Layer: Initial Opening of the Five Elements."

"Draw the free-floating Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth five-element spiritual energy from heaven and earth into the corresponding palaces of the five internal organs.

Within the Lung Palace (Metal), Liver Palace (Wood), Kidney Palace (Water), Heart Palace (Fire), and Spleen Palace (Earth), condense five 'Five Elements True Qi Seeds' that are distinctly different in nature yet interconnected..."

Detailed seed-condensing formulas, energy circulation routes, methods for opening and nourishing the True Qi corresponding to the five organs, techniques for guiding and filtering five-element spiritual energy...

Countless subtle and profound insights, as if he had already practiced and meditated on them ten million times, naturally merged into his memory and instincts.

He even "saw" the process of the five seeds slowly condensing into form within his five organs, from nothing to something, from illusory to real.

In the Lung Palace, a point of platinum sharpness was quietly nurtured, incomparably keen;

Within the Liver Palace, a touch of emerald green sprouted with vitality, full of life;

In the depths of the Kidney Palace, a drop of deep blue True Water silently gathered, extremely soft and cold;

In the core of the Heart Palace, a cluster of crimson flame leaped and rose, blazing and wild;

In the center of the Spleen Palace, a mass of bright yellow thick earth steadily condensed, bearing all things.

The five seeds were of different colors and completely different attributes.

The torrent of insights lasted for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before slowly subsiding and settling.

Qin Yan slowly opened his eyes; a five-colored brilliance seemed to flash and vanish within them, before returning to a deep calm.

"The first layer of the 'Five Elements Primordial Scripture'... I've finally officially entered the threshold!"

A great sense of accomplishment surged in Qin Yan's heart.

And when he understood the characteristics of this cultivation technique more deeply, the shock in his heart was beyond measure!

"This... this cultivation technique is simply heaven-defyingly overbearing!"

"According to the technique's description, once the first layer 'Initial Opening of the Five Elements' is successfully completed and the five 'Five Elements True Qi Seeds' are condensed within the five organs...

...then the total amount and purity of True Qi contained in each seed will far exceed the single True Qi core condensed by ordinary single-attribute cultivation techniques!

And this is only the beginning!

Five seeds mean he will simultaneously possess five different types of True Qi!

The sharpness of Metal, the vitality of Wood, the continuity of Water, the explosiveness of Fire, and the heaviness of Earth!

This is not just an accumulation of the total amount of True Qi, but a comprehensive coverage and complementarity of attribute characteristics!

According to his estimation, if successful, his overall amount of True Qi will reach about... ten times that of a martial artist practicing an ordinary technique of the same level!

Ten times!

What a terrifying concept!

Qin Yan had some understanding of cultivation technique grades.

Cultivation techniques in the world are roughly divided into four major levels: Common, Subtle, Profound, and Top-tier.

Each level is further subdivided into two ranks: Earthly Fiend and Heavenly Stellar.

To his knowledge, even the most top-tier and rarest Heavenly Stellar Top-tier techniques usually produce a total amount of True Qi that is only 6 to 8 times that of an ordinary technique of the same rank.

This is already enough to create peerless geniuses who are invincible among their peers or can even fight those at higher ranks.

Yet the "Five Elements Primordial Scripture" can reach a difference of ten times!

This has already exceeded the scope of his understanding of "cultivation techniques"!
