Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Chapter 577: Chapter 292: Five Elements Escape Technique

Throughout the years, the Lu Family allied with Master Tan, as well as joined forces with Lin Chang’an and the Profound Sound Pavilion to earn Spirit Stones.

Under normal circumstances, within a Fake Pill cultivator clan, obtaining ten thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones would require nearly a hundred years of accumulation.

This is why many Fake Pill cultivators don’t even have a decent Magical Treasure.

With their cultivation merely at Fake Pill level, without adventuring to hunt, and lacking exceptional skills, it boils down to one word.

Poor!

Moreover, Lu Yushu had some thoughts, secretly glancing at the Sect Leader of the Profound Sound Pavilion.

The Profound Sound Pavilion boasts a Tier Three Alchemist, and in the future, if the Lu Family aims to contend for a Core Formation Spiritual Object, they might still need to rely on the Profound Sound Pavilion.

"Ten thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones!"

Seeing Lu Yushu directly pressing forward, Lin Chang’an showed a hint of surprise, then, looking at the other’s determined gaze, he thought of something.

After all, not everyone is like him, a Loose Cultivator. Lu Yushu has indeed taken on the guise of a Patriarch over the years.

At once, the three revealed smiles; relationships aside, if benefits can be integrated, then it’s all the better.

Subsequently, the three discussed the division of this round’s benefits. As for the treasures on the Jade Scroll, Lu Yushu can only sigh to himself, resigned to mere contemplation.

Meanwhile, Fairy Ni Chang, after contemplating, is also weighing which treasures at the auction are suitable for the Profound Sound Pavilion, ensuring they don’t impact the sect’s operations.

One has a family, the other a sect. Unlike Lin Chang’an, who is a solitary Loose Cultivator, without such burdens.

The two have naturally more considerations.

Despite knowing that the Jade Scroll matter isn’t significant, they ensured it couldn’t be leaked. Once leaked, the friendship among the three would be over.

Sure enough, two days later, Bihai Palace started selling the Jade Scroll at their auction.

Even a Core Formation Cultivator must shell out a hundred Middle Grade Spirit Stones.

...

[Lifespan: 169/604]

[Realm: Core Golden Early Stage (34/100)]

Within his abode, observing his cultivation progress, Lin Chang’an revealed a satisfied expression.

"Indeed, the cultivation speed of an Upper Grade Spirit Root and the potential of the Upper Grade Golden Core have almost no barriers in advancing."

"However, this Five Elements Escape Technique is genuinely difficult!"

Cultivating mana within his abode, Lin Chang’an thought of the Five Elements Escape Technique and couldn’t help but frown.

[Wood Escape Technique (Skilled 121/500)]

[Water Escape Technique (Skilled 36/500)]

[Earth Escape Technique (Skilled 24/500)]

[Fire Escape Technique (Beginner 97/100)]

[Metal Escape Technique (Beginner 52/100)]

The Five Elements Escape Technique belongs to High Level spells, only cultivable at the Golden Core Realm.

Of course, certain special physiques in the Immortal Cultivation Realm allow cultivators to use it even at Foundation Establishment or Qi Refining Stage levels, akin to Demon Beast’s inherent Divine Techniques.

"Due to my Main Cultivation Technique, the Wood Escape Technique progress is fairly good, followed by Earth and Water Escape Techniques, then Fire, with Metal at the bottom."

Since refining his Lifebound Treasure, the Fire Escape Technique feels more fluid, yet still lags behind the other three.

This is mainly because he hasn’t reached the realm of controlling fire with wood.

"Beyond concealment and escape, the Five Elements Escape Technique is extremely useful in combat, despite its apparent simplicity and difficulty in mastery."

Even with exceptional talent, his progress over the years feels slow, making Lin Chang’an shake his head.

If not for its utility in concealment, escape, spell amplification, and combat even at the Nascent Soul Realm, he wouldn’t be so patiently cultivating it.

Its name leads many to think it’s merely a fundamental escape spell.

In truth, besides enhancing attribute spell affinity, it greatly aids in combat.

For instance, facing a powerful attack, employing the Earth Escape Technique to entrench underground by several or even dozens of meters can evade or even diminish the opponent’s potent strike.

Or, when encountering unavoidable Fire Magic attacks, utilizing the Fire Escape Technique can lessen self-harm, with mastery enabling one to leap among flames, dodging damage.

"Furthermore, the deeper the mastery over the Five Elements Escape Technique, the greater the enhancements for attribute spells."

For example, applying Metal Escape Technique to a Treasure Sword boosts its sharp attack potency, etc.

Lin Chang’an slowly stood, forming seals and displaying the Earth Escape Technique.

Aside from his Protective Spiritual Light gaining a faint earth attribute aura, nothing happened, invisible to careless Cultivator’s eyes.

Though its execution is simple, it’s dubbed the foundation of innumerable methods.

"The Skilled Realm Earth Escape Technique."

Lin Chang’an calmly formed seals, directly walking towards the chamber wall.

The next moment, his body eerily melted in, like a droplet slowly fusing into water.

In the endless darkness, utilizing Spiritual Eye and Divine Sense, Lin Chang’an clearly perceives his surroundings inside the wall.

"This is inside the stone wall; upon entry, mana consumption starts to rise, delving two or three meters deep in earth, yet just a meter deep in stone."

In an instant, Lin Chang’an touched a solid Barrier, forcing him grudgingly to return.

The Five Elements Escape Technique isn’t almighty; encounter Arrays or Barriers, and it’s obstructed.

Unless breaking through them.

Back in the chamber, Lin Chang’an took a deep breath, realizing once accustomed to Five Elements Escape Technique, its potential in combat is vast.

Such a sensation is rather intricate.

Most cultivators hardly ascend this Divine Technique to the Supreme Realm.

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, legends exist where an Earth Spirit Body Nascent Soul adept escaped from Nascent Soul Late Stage using masterful Earth Escape Technique.

Another, a mythical corpse king, inherently harmonizing with Earth Escape, fled from numerous same-realm cultivators besieging due to the technique. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

These tales dot the history within the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

"The Five Elements Escape Technique isn’t urgent; it demands slow accumulation and refinement."

After taking a deep breath, Lin Chang’an stowed the technique away.

Many Nascent Soul masters haven’t mastered this spell; seeing its direction alone, he believes he’ll eventually hone it to Supreme Realm.

...

Outside the abode, the Sword Servant, breathing lightly, wielded a long sword emitting Sword Aura.

Serving as a sparring partner, the Cyan-Horned Bull mooed delightedly, playfully foot-stomping.

Its robust horns resisted the Sword Aura, leaving not even a trace.

Its sturdy body, protected by formidable defense power, bore only white marks from the Sword Aura, not breaching the Protective Spiritual Light.

Besides actively releasing their Mana Shield, cultivators harbor a faint Protective Spiritual Light on their bodies.

This acts as a cultivator’s final line of defense.

Common scenarios involve Body Cultivators close-quarter striking Magic Cultivators, severely injuring them, who then quickly distance themselves.

Only those with shattered Protective Spiritual Light suffer direct concussive impact.

"Moo!"

Upon Lin Chang’an exiting the abode, the Cyan-Horned Bull, having progressed to Tier Three, immediately sensed its owner’s emergence, excitedly wagging its tail.

Lin Chang’an keenly discerned the Sword Servant synchronously detecting his departure from the abode.

"Master!"

Upon seeing Lin Chang’an outside, the Sword Servant employed Clear Wind Technique, erasing combat marks, respectfully approaching Lin Chang’an’s side.

"Not bad, you’ve diligently trained during this period."

Observing the dependable Sword Servant, Lin Chang’an nodded in approval.

Obedient and not verbose, cherishing precious cultivation opportunities, utilizing every moment for cultivation.

"Rest up, restore mana, then later join me at the Market auction."

Over the years, Lin Chang’an gradually ceased treating the Sword Servant as an outsider, habitually settling into the pavilion.

The Sword Servant proficiently brewed a pot of Spirit Tea, standing behind Lin Chang’an, massaging his shoulders.

"Moo moo!"

Watching this, the Cyan-Horned Bull’s large eyes widened, pondering its exclusion.

Seeing the anxious Cyan-Horned Bull, Lin Chang’an shook his head helplessly, contemplating kicking the gluttonous bull twice if not for raising it personally.

"Alright."

Shaking his head, Lin Chang’an tapped his Storage Bag, tossing out two Spirit Fruits, which the Cyan-Horned Bull joyfully savored.
