379: Chapter 379 Gold Shop!

"What kind of incredibly glorious behemoth was the 'Five Elements Sect' that created this 'Five Elements Primordial Scripture' back then?

What level of existence is this cultivation technique... exactly?"

Qin Yan's heart was filled with shock and awe, while a surge of endless pride also welled up.

Being able to obtain this inheritance was a stroke of immense luck for him!

No matter how difficult the road ahead, he would surely follow this path and walk it unswervingly!

"However, these deep-seated mysteries can be left for later exploration."

Qin Yan composed himself, his gaze becoming sharp and steady. "Now, the resources are ready, and the technique has been comprehended!"

He looked at the Storage Ring beside him, filled with a massive amount of resources, and felt the abundant blood and qi within his body and the technique he had just grasped.

"Today, I, Qin Yan... shall break through to the Fourth Grade, condense the Five Elements, and officially step onto the Great Dao of Qi Refining!"

In the third-floor training room, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy and solemn.

Qin Yan's eyes were calm as he moved his mind. A flash of light emanated from the Storage Ring, and several spiritual herbs of various shapes appeared out of thin air on the floor in front of him.

The first batch he took out was specifically for condensing the "Gold Element True Qi Seed."

As soon as this batch of spiritual herbs appeared, the air in the entire training room seemed to become a bit sharper.

An invisible and intangible yet clearly perceptible sharp aura permeated the air.

It was like standing on the edge of a domain composed of thousands of sword blades; his skin even felt a faint, slight stinging sensation.

This was the natural manifestation of the pure and powerful "Sharp Gold Qi."

Qin Yan was in no hurry to start. Instead, he first took out a thick "Gold-Attribute Spiritual Herb Encyclopedia," an authoritative text he had specifically borrowed from the library earlier.

This was so he could accurately identify and avoid misusing these precious resources.

He compared them to the illustrations, his gaze sweeping over the various spiritual materials before him, each containing pure gold-attribute energy, as he quickly identified them in his mind:

"Fourth-grade spiritual herb 'Genggold Grass,' leaves like short daggers, veins like Sword Runes, primarily sharp, often used for refining armor-piercing pills..."

"Fourth-grade spiritual material 'White Iron Essence Flower.' Although it's a plant, its texture is hard and its gold qi is condensed. It needs to be slowly dissolved with blood and qi to nourish the bones and meridians..."

"Fifth-grade spiritual herb 'Sky-Rending Golden Bell Flower.' Its petals are as thin as metal sheets and make a slight clanging sound when shaken. It contains the power of shattering and has a rather violent medicinal nature..."

"Sixth-grade spiritual herb 'Gilded Jade Marrow Ganoderma.' Shaped like a lingzhi mushroom, liquid golden light flows throughout its body. Its medicinal power is majestic yet gentle, making it an excellent medium for harmonizing various gold-attribute medicinal powers..."

One by one, the gold-attribute spiritual herbs were identified.

His gaze finally landed on the one with the most restrained yet most astonishing aura among all the gold-attribute spiritual herbs.

It was a section of strange root about half a foot long, its entire body presenting a pure, flawless appearance, as if the finest white gold had melted and then solidified.

The root was not straight but had natural gnarled twists and branches.

Faint golden rays of light, visible to the naked eye, flowed across its surface, flickering as if countless tiny metallic sharp edges were breathing in and out.

Just looking at it made one's eyeballs feel a slight stinging pain, as if countless fine needles were gently pricking them.

At the fork of the root, a liquid metal-like flow of light could be faintly seen slowly rotating inside, emitting an ancient, pure, and supreme sharp Dao charm.

Comparing it to the encyclopedia, Qin Yan's heart trembled: "Seventh-grade spiritual herb—'Taibai Sharp Gold Root'!"

"Legend has it that it grows in places of extreme metal, taking a thousand years of absorbing the heaven and earth's Sharp Gold Qi to take form."

Having confirmed all the spiritual herbs were correct, Qin Yan no longer hesitated.

He took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, with his five centers facing the sky.

His consciousness sank into his body, and he began to fully circulate the first layer of the "Five Elements Primordial Scripture," which he had just initiated!

"Boom—!"

Once the technique was activated, the blood and qi in Qin Yan's body instantly surged and roared!

At the same time, his spirit was highly concentrated as he clearly "internally visualized" every minute change in his body, especially the lung area corresponding to the "Gold Element."

"Step one: use gentle auxiliary herbs to clear the way, nourish the meridians, and construct the initial 'Gold Element Qi Field'!"

Qin Yan reached out, picked up a gentle, fourth-grade "Gold Silk Thread," and swallowed it without hesitation.

The spiritual herb entered his stomach but did not immediately turn into violent medicinal power and run wild.

The cultivation path of the "Five Elements Primordial Scripture" had already constructed a preliminary framework within his body. As soon as the medicinal power entered, it was captured by an invisible gravitational force.

It was slowly guided through several specific small meridians, eventually following a unique path toward the lungs.

Qin Yan carefully controlled the circulation speed of the technique, allowing this gentle medicinal power to slowly linger at the periphery of the lungs, forming a layer of pale golden halo.

Simultaneously, the small meridians through which the medicinal power flowed left behind tiny, imperceptible pale golden traces, as if undergoing a preliminary 'gold-attribute assimilation.'

After the medicinal power of the first spiritual herb was completely absorbed, Qin Yan did not stop.

Following a specific order, he picked up, swallowed, refined, and guided the fourth-grade and even some relatively gentle fifth-grade auxiliary herbs one by one.

One, two, three...

More and more gentle medicinal power gathered around the lungs, and that layer of pale golden halo gradually became clear and thick.

At the same time, the pale golden traces left in the meridians where the medicinal power had flowed became deeper and deeper, as if plated with an extremely thin yet incredibly tough metallic film, slowly increasing the affinity and carrying capacity of these meridians for gold-attribute energy.

With Qin Yan's current powerful physical foundation from the newly formed Indestructible Blood Demon Body, there was no great risk in enduring the impact of these fourth-grade spiritual herbs' medicinal power.

However, he knew that the subsequent fifth-grade main herbs, and the core sixth and even seventh-grade spiritual herbs, would see their medicinal power increase exponentially. They would be overbearingly powerful, and relying solely on his physical body to withstand them would be extremely dangerous, potentially even shattering his meridians.

Therefore, the preparation with these gentle medicinal powers, the preliminary strengthening of the meridians, and the construction of the 'Gold Element Qi Field' around the lungs were crucial.

They served as a 'buffer zone' and 'guiding array' for the subsequent violent medicinal power.

The fourth-grade spiritual herbs were soon completely refined.

Thus, Qin Yan picked up a fifth-grade 'Swirling Pattern Golden Astral Fruit' and took a bite.

The fruit melted in his mouth, turning into a torrent of Sharp Gold Qi several times more violent than before, roaring as it surged into his meridians!

Completely different from the gentleness of the fourth-grade medicinal power, this force was full of aggression, as if countless tiny golden needles were pricking his meridians!

Qin Yan was well-prepared. He gave a muffled groan and circulated his technique with all his might.

The golden halo around his lungs, formed by the fourth-grade medicinal power, seemed to be stimulated; it vibrated slightly and emitted a soft attraction.

At the same time, the meridians reinforced by the 'plating' of the fourth-grade medicinal power also lit up with their pale golden traces, creating a certain guiding and soothing effect.

(Hehe~)
