"Martial Artist, where did you learn the hand skill you just used? What’s its na?"
Yu Jinglei asked curiously.
"Replying to Sect Master, this hand skill is called Ground Seal, learned from the Transmission Palace."
Yu Jinglei looked puzzled, then imdiately reacted: "That’s impossible."
He knew the cultivation techniques in the Transmission Palace better than anyone, especially a Grandmaster martial arts skill as powerful as the Ground Seal.
Zhong Lin smiled and explained, "How would I dare deceive the Sect Master? In the Transmission Palace, there’s a hand skill called Cotton Palm, also known as Hidden Needle Palm. Once this hand skill is trained to great success and fully understood, one will naturally comprehend the Ground Seal. It seems it was left by a sect elder, but I unexpectedly stumbled upon it by chance."
Yu Jinglei’s mouth dropped open too, unexpected that this powerful Grandmaster-level martial arts skill actually originated within their sect. Inside, he couldn’t help but complain about the sect’s predecessors.
Why not just pass on such a powerful martial arts skill directly? Why hide it? If a disciple hadn’t coincidentally learned it, would it just be left in a corner forever?
No wonder so many sects faded into oblivion throughout history, it’s all due to these old habits of keeping things hidden, and so even rely on oral transmission. Don’t they realize how dangerous it is outside? What if they die? Wouldn’t the legacy be cut off?
"Zhong Lin, I wonder..."
Yu Jinglei wanted to say sothing but was directly interrupted by Zhong Lin.
"Sect Master, I have compiled the sect’s martial arts skills into a book, ready to return it to the sect."
As he spoke, he pulled out a booklet from his bosom and respectfully handed it over.
Yu Jinglei looked at Zhong Lin with increasingly amicable eyes, patted his shoulder, and said, "Zhong Lin, you have not disappointed . Elder Yin taking you as a disciple is a blessing to our sect. You and Yun Yi shall beco the twin pillars of our sect in the future."
He reached out to take the Ground Seal from Zhong Lin’s hands. Just a glance filled him with awe, and his face lit up with joy.
"Ah, what a great Ground Seal, capable of drawing Earth’s energy and condensing Earth’s power. Even more impressive is that you, Zhong Lin, can wield a Grandmaster martial arts skill at the First Grade Realm, drawing from the power of Heaven and Earth. It’s truly extraordinary insight. No wonder you reached the First Grade Pure Essence Realm before turning twenty."
Yu Jinglei praised sincerely.
In front of the Sect Master, Zhong Lin dared not boast, lowered his head slightly, and wore a modest expression.
"The Sect Master overpraises . I only managed to refine it by coincidence. Sect Master, is Ground Seal a Grandmaster martial arts skill?"
"Indeed, otherwise, how could it draw Earth’s energy? This Grandmaster martial arts skill is fundantally different from others. Achieving this skill shows that the Grandmaster Realm has already opened its doors to you. It’s a pity you practice the ’Flying Spirit Sword Scripture’; if it were the ’Treasure Image Divine Skill,’ with this Ground Seal, you’d likely soon break through to the Grandmaster Realm."
Yu Jinglei sighed with regret on his face.
Saying this, he also pulled out a booklet and handed it over.
"This is the sect’s secret technique for breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm, take a look."
Zhong Lin’s face lit up with joy, he quickly reached out to receive it, thanked him, and imdiately began reading it.
Seeing Zhong Lin’s eagerness, Yu Jinglei didn’t mind. Back in the day, he was even more impatient.
After a while, Zhong Lin flipped to the last page of the secret manual, slowly closed it, and after a mont of contemplation, sighed deeply.
"Indeed, the secret technique for breaking through to the Grandmaster level is truly insightful in every word."
"Zhong Lin, did you understand it?"
"Everything is clearly explained. If I still don’t understand, wouldn’t I be a fool?" Zhong Lin said casually.
Yu Jinglei’s mouth twitched, that remark was really vexing.
This secret technique hasn’t been read only by Zhong Lin; the three Supre Elders and Shi Yunyi also read it. Yet they had to ponder for long to barely grasp a hint of its essence, not to ntion mastering it. If they had, they would have long passed the need to wait for a Breakthrough Pill.
"Sect Master, I feel inspired and wish to retreat for a while."
"Go ahead! Go ahead!"
Yu Jinglei was sowhat disappointed, initially wanting to offer guidance. It seed unnecessary now, as overly brilliant disciples could also be a headache!
Zhong Lin bowed and then turned to leave, heading straight for Spirit dicine Peak.
"Second Brother."
A familiar figure, with short legs taking large strides, ran towards Zhong Lin — it was Stone.
Zhong Lin also smiled, bent down, and lifted Stone in his arms.
"You’ve gotten taller and chubbier."
Stone had started practicing Martial Arts, plus there was no shortage of various Elixirs, clearly only seven years old yet already seed like a half-grown boy.
"Second Brother, I’ve missed you so much."
Little Stone clung tightly to Zhong Lin’s neck, tears streaming down his face.
No matter how mature he seed, he was still just a child after all.
Zhong Lin tapped Stone’s forehead and laughed, "Crying at your age? Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at? Didn’t your second brother co back now?"
Being scolded by Zhong Lin like this, Little Stone shyly wiped his tears, then got down from Zhong Lin’s arms, his face flushed.
The child already felt shy.
"Let’s go ho."
"Mm."
A large hand held a small one, and their figures cast long shadows in the sunset, echoes of laughter reverberating through the valley.
That evening, Zhong Lin, for once, did not cultivate, and Gu Yourong personally cooked, allowing the three of them to enjoy a reunion dinner.
At the dining table, Little Stone chirped continuously about his studies and martial arts practice during this period, and Zhong Lin could see from his words that Little Stone was indeed very happy and not bullied by anyone.
Indeed, with his older brother being a True Disciple of the sect, an Upper Third Grades Martial Artist, and a Fourth Grade Alchemist, who in the Sword Cauldron Sect wouldn’t want to curry favor and who would dare offend him?
After dinner, Zhong Lin went to Gu Yourong’s room for dual cultivation, and only after midnight did he leave, feeling refreshed.
In the secret chamber, on the mat.
Zhong Lin took out that secret manual again. It had no na, yet recorded many conversion secrets between cultivation techniques, not just between two specific techniques, but among all mutual-generation techniques within the basic Five Elents.
Wood and Fire are Mutually Beneficial, Earth and Fire are Mutually Beneficial, Earth and Gold Mutual Generation, Gold and Water Nourish Each Other, and Water Wood Mutual Generation.
Within the Five Elents, these five mutual-generation techniques’ conversion points were all encompassed within.
Seeing this secret technique, Zhong Lin was greatly enriched. His cultivation of the ’Five Elents Mixed Essence Skill’ already included five attributes, with no obstacles in transitions between them. However, upon seeing the key points recorded, he felt inspired.
The breakthrough to the Grandmaster Realm lies in this "Five Elents Mutual Generation."
