Chapter 108: The Five Elements Escape Technique
Hongmeng Purple Flame is absolutely the most suitable for destroying corpses and erasing traces. After Sun Ming took the Golden Elixir of the two lower-ranking brothers, he used the Hongmeng Purple Flame to refine the last trace of the two in this world into nothingness.
"It's your fault for choosing the wrong master." Sun Ming glanced at the two corpses floating in front of him and said in a low tone.
The mountain range was complex and confusing. Although Sun Ming had mentally prepared himself, he was still shocked by the majestic mountains in front of him. After all, it was possible to find the "Ten Thousand Year Ling Tian Xuan Tie" among so many peaks, but there wouldn't be too much of this thing. If they really had to search for it one by one, it would take a lot of time.
Although so, still have to find. Sun Ming was very depressed. Under the eyelids of so many Qiu Xian Union disciples, he went to find it openly and aboveboard. Not to mention whether or not he could find it, this risk couldn't be taken anyway.
"Wu Xing Dun Fa" suddenly emerged in Sun Ming's mind, a set of skills that converted the spiritual energy of his body with the five elements, allowing him to shuttle freely among the five elements.
Is this true or false? Sun Ming had always trusted Yun Zhongzi's master, but the thought of such an unconventional and astonishing technique appearing in his mind made him slightly suspicious.
His physical body shuttled back and forth among the mountains, rocks, grasses, and trees. Sun Ming was indeed very interested in the effects of this technique. However, in his mind, it was still somewhat inconceivable.
"After all, should I use it or not?" Sun Ming asked himself in his heart.
"Still believe in Yun Zhongzi's teachings. After all, although we live in different eras, the principles of the Great Way remain the same." With that said, Sun Ming gritted his teeth and activated the Earth Escape technique from the Five Elements Escape Method.
"Huh? Why isn't there any effect?" Sun Ming was somewhat astonished. But soon his astonishment was replaced by an inexplicable feeling.
The true yuan force in his body was slowly transformed into a thick earth yuan force through the action of the gong method. Sun Ming's mind stirred, and his body suddenly disappeared into the distance.
A wonderful feeling slowly rose up in Sun Ming's heart. It was as if he had become a part of the vastness itself, with its thickness and simplicity infecting his emotions. "Swimming" in the vastness' embrace, Sun Ming felt endless joy.
But anything good is temporary. Like the brief beauty of a meteor in the sky. Soon, Sun Ming retreated from this state. Because he found himself hitting a wall.
The biggest trick of the Five Elements Escape Technique is to change the five elements. Whatever you encounter, change into whatever it is. The highest state of the Five Elements Escape Technique is to use it freely and at will whenever you want. However, Sun Ming's level has not reached this point yet. When Earth Escape met the mine, the consequences are imaginable.
Sun Ming rubbed his head, which was almost smashed. He muttered a few words under his breath. After all, the Taoist scriptures said that before achieving great success, one must pay attention to the changes in the incantation.
Ding Ding Shen Zi. Sun Ming tightly leaned against the mountain wall of that mine and changed the mantra in his body. Slowly, the thick and heavy breath was gradually replaced by a sharp and piercing one. Still unobstructed. Sun Ming slowly searched inside the mine. Searching for the king among the iron.
"Senior brother, who do you think will be able to use these Xuan Tie ore that we're digging up?" a disciple who was swinging his flying sword in the mine asked another disciple of the Instrument Repair Union who was working diligently beside him.
"Who knows. It must be a disciple of the inner three sects who uses it. After all, the Xuan Iron here is also one of the best in the cultivation world. Not many of our equipment-refining associations can afford to use this kind of Xuan Iron. Apart from the disciples of the upper three sects, who else has the qualifications to use such high-quality Xuan Iron?" The senior brother who was collecting Xuan ore with a blue flying sword stopped and wiped his sweat, saying.
"Hey, Brother. Do you think the Xuan Iron we collected will be used by Yun Luan Fairy? Ah, being able to provide refining materials for Yun Luan Fairy is exciting just thinking about it." The disciple who was wielding the red flying sword seemed to have found a topic of conversation. He put away his flying sword and looked like he wanted to have a good chat with his brother about Yun Luan Fairy.
"Yun Luan Xian Zi ah." The senior brother seemed to have been enchanted when he heard the name, his eyes were distant and his emotions were stirred up. Sun Ming, who was eavesdropping above them, almost spat it out.
"Big brother. Big brother. Say something." That younger brother seemed to be also shocked by his own big brother's vulgar expression, and looked at his own brother's expression with great disgust.
"Cough, cough. Younger brother, I advise you not to think wildly anymore. A person of Murong Yunfan's level is not someone that small characters like us can think about." The slightly older Qi repair alliance disciple was also made somewhat embarrassed by his younger brother's words.
"I know. Of course, I wouldn't think of such an unattainable thing. I just thought about it for a bit. The ore I collected myself will be used by Yun Luan Xianzi. That's all the satisfaction I need." Almost the same expression appeared on this slightly younger brother's face.
"Hey, junior brother. Don't think nonsense. Yun Luan Xianzi is the direct disciple of the Alliance Master. How could she use such a mysterious iron?" The senior brother's words shattered his junior brother's "dream". And Sun Ming, who was originally planning to leave, also stopped because of this sentence.
"Could it be that this equipment repair union also knows the grade of this Xuan Iron?" A doubt filled Sun Ming's mind. Although it wasn't a big deal, Sun Ming had come...
What a good thing. After all, if it's like this, then one's own process of becoming "immortal" might not be so peaceful.
"Senior brother, didn't you say that the Xuan Iron we're collecting now is already the best in the Cultivation Realm? Why can't Yun Luan use it then?" This disciple seemed somewhat disheartened. It seems that Mu Rong Yun Luan has been renowned in the Cultivation Realm for many years. Sun Ming thought to himself with a bad intention.
"Junior brother, I told you to be more careful with Jade Simplicity. But you refused to listen. Do you know what kind of person is the most terrifying among the Alchemists?"
"What kind of person is this? Shixiong?"
"What kind of person can it be? Of course, it's someone like you who doesn't read classics and has no culture. Ordinary Xuan Iron. The ones we're collecting now are indeed among the best. However, Brother Disciple, if you've read our sect's classics about Xuan Iron, you should know that Xuan Iron is also graded. It takes a thousand years in a spirit-rich environment for iron to form into Xuan Iron. After a thousand years, these Xuan Irons are called Green Stripe Xuan Iron if they're over a hundred years old. Those over a thousand years old are called Purple Stripe Xuan Iron. Those over ten thousand years old are called Golden Stripe Xuan Iron, also known as 'Ten Thousand Years Ling Tian Xuan Iron'. Of course, that 'Ten Thousand Years Ling Tian Xuan Iron' has only appeared in legends a few times. All the magical artifacts refined from it have become immortal instruments without exception. The most famous one is the First Sword Immortal, Nie Qingkuang's Cloud-Transcending Sword." That disciple seemed to have opened his floodgates and continued talking non-stop.
"People like Yun Luan Xianzi are not included, nor are some elderly masters' direct disciples. They all use Qingwen Xuanti. The ordinary Xuanti we collected is only for the ordinary disciples of the inner three sects to use. Yun Luan Xianzi can't even reach that level. Do you know why there's a large array protecting the mountain peak in the back? It's because that mountain produces hundred-year and thousand-year Xuanti." As soon as this disciple finished speaking, Sun Ming understood. He had been searching for so long, but not once did he hit his target, nor even touch its edge.
Sun Ming looked at these two disciples who had started collecting Xuan Tie ore with great difficulty and shook his head.
"Never mind. You two are also pitiful people. Let it go."
It's said to be a mountain peak. However, if you take a closer look, you'll find that it's actually a mountain range. It just seems a bit small. The whole thing is connected together.
Sun Ming chuckled lightly, ridiculing his own carelessness and the simplicity of the Qi Repair Alliance's formation. He also mocked the Qi Repair Alliance for using such a basic formation to protect something so important. And he mocked himself for being deceived by such an elementary formation that didn't even qualify as beginner-level.
He lightly swung his arms a few times. A faint, almost imperceptible wave of spiritual power slowly merged into the nearly invisible light screen in front of him from Sun Ming's hands.
Sun Ming swaggered past the light screen. The "Yan Xi Formation", a well-known representative formation of the Qixiu Alliance in the Xianxia realm, was broken so easily by Sun Ming. If this scene were to be seen by those formation masters, it's unknown what they would think. However, spitting blood is certain.
But apparently, in Sun Ming's view, this was just a trivial matter. Just like a university student who had learned calculus going to watch elementary school students do addition and subtraction. After all, the formation methods of the Sealing God era were much stronger than this thing that could hardly be called a formation method.
He had just walked in. Sun Ming was attracted by a strong metallic aura. Sun Ming knew that inside this mountain must be hidden the "Ten Thousand Year Ling Tian Xuan Tie".
Sun Ming carefully shuttled back and forth among the ore. Not only was he stunned by what was in front of him.
The cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage was like a miner, wielding a flying sword of the Spirit Tool grade. He was sweating profusely as he collected ore, each swing of his sword filled with True Essence. However, the seemingly invincible flying sword could only leave a faint mark on the purple ore.
Sun Ming had heard Yun Zhongzi say before that Xuan Tie would undergo a fundamental transformation after experiencing a certain amount of time. But this was also too astonishing.
Finally, under the unremitting efforts of these cultivators in their fusion period. A piece of purple ore finally fell from the mountain wall. Instantly, there was a burst of cheers among the crowd.
That purple mineral's fusion period is about to be completed. Holding the mineral, he ran in front of a person and said.
"Elder, this is the tenth piece of Purple Vein Mystic Iron. The ten pieces are now complete. Five were given to the Equipment Refining Union. These remaining ones... Please, Elder, take them and refine a flying sword." The cultivator in the Conjoining Period had no aura about him at all. He looked tensely at the old man before him.
"Yes, it's indeed ten pieces. Take this thing and go to our Union of Heaven Yuan Star's residence. There will be a master craftsman who can refine the flying sword for you." The old man handed over a jade card to that cultivator.
At that moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the palm-sized jade plaque. There was envy, resentment, and admiration.
"Just add a bit of effort. As long as you excavate ten pieces of Purple Vein Mystic Iron Ore, our Equipment Repair Union will definitely arrange for a Refining Master to refine flying swords for everyone." The old man's words were filled with temptation.
"Let cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage work as miners. It seems that the Tool Refining Union has indeed become arrogant to the extreme."
