Chapter 531: Chapter 529 Earth Element Secret Book_1

This two-headed Qiu Yu was a creature he had tricked into following him back during one of his venture into the Sect Moon Luck Land. It has been living in his cave for over ten years.

Being a third-rank demonic beast, it was previously in the growth stage and only broke through to the third rank today.

The growth of demonic beasts is extremely slow. Lu Xuan remembered that the fourth-grade spirit plant Gathering Spirit Pine, which he brought back from Langyue Blessed Land at the same time, had matured for several years, and the lower-ranked third-grade two-headed Qiu Yu only reached its complete form.

Although this two-headed Qiu Yu is generally a sociable creature, it usually hides in the mountains. But it is quite fond of Lu Xuan. After breaking through, it turned into a deep yellow light and rushed over to Lu Xuan in an instant, growling continuously.

“Well done, here’s a bottle of Jade Wash Spirit Dew for you.”

A trace of eager delight appeared on Lu Xuan’s face as his mind gathered on the third-grade two-headed Qiu Yu spirit beast in front of him.

A thought flashed by.

[Two-headed Qiu Yu, the third-rank demonic beast, eats fine iron spirit ore and is extremely sensitive to the scent of all kinds of ores. They like to collect various spirit ores and spirit soils, have a command of various low-level Earth Formula Methods, are born good at Earth Escape Skill, and can move freely in soil and rocks. Their scale armor is extremely defensive.]

“Once it grows into a third-grade spiritual beast, it can be used to explore spirit soil and spirit mines.”

As Lu Xuan thought, his gaze was attracted by a white light cluster not far ahead.

The light cluster flickered slightly, as if calling for Lu Xuan to touch it.

Lu Xuan smiled and walked up to it, gently touching the surface of the light cluster.

The cluster exploded silently into countless tiny light spots and flowed into Lu Xuan’s body.

A thought flashed through his mind.

[The third-grade spirit beast double-headed Qiu Yu has broken through, yielding a fourth-grade treasure, the Earth Element Secret Book].

Just as the thought disappeared, a massive amount of information surged into Lu Xuan’s mind.

[Earth Element Secret Book, a fourth-grade treasure, which records various Earth Escape Techniques. It’s not limited by the terrain and can be applied to various spirit soils and spirit ores. Moreover, it economizes the consumption of spiritual power and greatly enhances speed compared to ordinary Escape Techniques].

Lu Xuan stood in place, processing and absorbing the vast amount of information.

“Earth Element Secret Book, it’s a high-level version of Earth Escape.”

“Although it’s only a fourth-grade, it’s good in one aspect as the information appears directly in my knowledge sea, making control easier.”

Compared with ordinary cultivation techniques, Earth Element Secret Book is more of a secret technique. It records the earth escape techniques under different terrains and different spirit ores. After mastering it, one can travel freely through soil and rocks without being restricted by various conditions.

His previous practice of the Major Five Elements Cultivation Method, which contains the Five Elements Escape Technique, had also achieved some results through painstaking cultivation.

However, the Five Elements Escape Technique can only be deployed in an ordinary environment.

For example, the Earth Escape Skill is reasonably fast in regular spirit soil and rocks. But when encountering extremely hard rocks or spirit soil and spirit ores with various peculiar characteristics, the speed would slow down significantly. There might even be a need to stop and change direction.

But the Earth Element Secret Book solves this problem nicely.

After studying it, you can respond differently to rocks and soils of different textures. With the methods recorded in the secret book, you can easily traverse different terrains.

Moreover, compared with the ordinary Earth Escape Skill, the Escape Techniques in the Earth Element Secret Book consume less spiritual power and are a bit faster.

“That’s what professionalism is.”

Lu Xuan can’t help but sigh. With this Earth Element Secret Book, his ability to evade has increased significantly.

Previously, he had only practiced the Five Elements Escape Technique included in The Major Five Elements Cultivation Method, supplemented by the fourth-grade magical artifact, Qing Helved Shoes, and the Floating Light Body Method which he had mastered from the Scripture Treasury Pavilion. Compared with others, his evasion ability was mediocre.

Now, with the addition of the Earth Element Secret Book, his progress in this area has improved fast and furiously, increasing his survival ability significantly.

The “Earth Element Secret Book” appeared directly in his consciousness, allowing him to initially master this strange escape technique. His spiritual power surged, and his body was covered with a layer of pale yellow light.

The light enveloped Lu Xuan fluctuating in and out, and in an instant burrowed into the mountain.

Inside the mountain, Lu Xuan observed the surroundings with his spiritual sense, freely and quickly moving like a fish in the water.

The usually hard-to-pass rock now seemed no different to ordinary soil in his eyes due to the change in spiritual power. His speed did not decrease as he freely shuttle through them.

After experimenting for a while, Lu Xuan returned to the cave with an excited look.

Of the two two-headed armadillos he had brought back from Langyue Blessed Land, one had just broken through to the third grade, and the other one was on the verge of breaking through.

Lu Xuan sensed that its aura was on the verge of breaking through, and it should be able to upgrade to the third-grade spirit beast soon.

He glanced at the Wu Spirit Soil that the two socially-phobic spirit beasts had scratched off and didn’t admonish them, considering the light cluster’s sake. Instead, he took out a handful of Flame Soil from his storage bag.

“If you like spirit soil, I’ll leave some more for you.”

“Remember to work hard and strive for a breakthrough as soon as possible.”

Lu Xuan instructed the two two-headed armadillos.

Their four heads all nodded in agreement, each scrambling over to a half of the Flame Soil.

Although the one that just broke through was obviously stronger than the other armadillo, presumably because they had always been together, it didn’t take advantage of the situation to grab more Flame Soil.

Maybe the other armadillo was stimulated by its companion’s breakthrough, and its speed of ranking up was faster than Lu Xuan had imagined.

In less than ten days, while he was working hard to germinate the Primordial Essence Herb Spirit Seed, he felt the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the mountain.

Familiar at first and second time, his body instantly dropped, swiftly shuttling through the rock in the blink of an eye, arriving to the cave that the two-headed armadillo had dug.

The one that had already broken through to the third grade squealed at the sight of Lu Xuan, with intense joy shining in its gray-white eyes.

“Don’t worry, your brother will be fine.”

Lu Xuan sent a thought to it, focusing his attention on the other two-headed armadillo that was trying to break through.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly. It only reached the same rank as itself without trying to break the bloodline’s shackles, which made the process much easier.

Ultimately, under Lu Xuan’s attentive gaze, the second two-headed armadillo also successfully broke through to the third grade.

Lu Xuan congratulated it, took out a few spirit fruits from his storage bag, and fed them to the newly upgraded, still unstable two-headed armadillo, his gaze landing on the floating white light cluster in the low sky.

As he gently touched the surface of the light cluster, countless tiny light particles surged into his body.

[The third-grade spirit beast double-headed armadillo has broken through, obtaining the Fourth Grade Treasure, Earth Element Secret Book].

A thought flashed in his mind, and a flood of information surged into Lu Xuan’s consciousness.

His understanding of the Earth Escape Skill under different terrains recorded in the “Earth Element Secret Book” instantly deepened. His memory became more profound, his understanding more thorough, as if he had used it in different environments thousands of times.

“It’s actually a technique experience package.”

Lu Xuan was delighted and slowly digested the information in his mind.

“Good, it saved me a lot of effort.”

He was secretly pleased in his heart.
