Celestial Kong Shi, the founder of Mingshi Tang, the number one figure in history.
Every single word he left behind was invaluable. To think that his reply would be found in the handwritten letter of the Lu Clan's founder...
Putting aside the Lin Clan, if word were to spread, the entire Xuanyuan Kingdom would probably make a move to snatch it!
Zhang Xuan also came to a realization.
Even though Lu Chong had disguised himself as a mute, given the influence of the Lin Clan, they would definitely be able to find him if they really wanted to.
It was impossible for him to live under their noses for two years without them noticing anything.
From the looks of it now, they probably intentionally allowed him to live so that they could use him to find the handwritten letter.
Given Lu Chong's talent, they probably knew that it was impossible for him to exact vengeance on him, so they didn't pay him any heed.
However, it was a pity that no matter how much they thought about it, they would never have thought that they would meet this heaven-defying teacher of theirs, bringing about a calamity to their clan.
After coming to this realization, Zhang Xuan asked, "Your ancestor was acquainted with Kong Shi?"
If there wasn't any relationship between them, how could Kong Shi possibly reply to his ancestor's letter?
"I'm not too sure either. In fact, I've never even seen this handwritten letter before. I only vaguely heard my father mentioning it..."
Lu Chong said, "However, it isn't with the clan or me. It was hidden in the depths of the mountain range by my ancestor. If teacher wants it, I can offer it to you!"
This handwritten letter was left behind by his ancestor. Even though the Lin Clan had destroyed his clan, they were still unable to obtain it. However, if his teacher really wanted it, he was willing to offer it to him.
"Forget it. No matter how valuable Kong Shi's handwriting is, it isn't of much use to me!"
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Kong shi's authentic works might be an invaluable treasure to others, but to Zhang Xuan, it was nothing at all.
No matter how incredible it was, could it compare to the golden page of the Book of Heaven's Path?
At the very most, it was only valuable and could be sold for money. However, it wasn't useful to his cultivation at all.
Besides, no matter how valuable it was, it belonged to his student. His entire clan would be destroyed for it. He didn't have the hobby of vying with his student for treasures.
"I was being too rash!"
Hearing his teacher's words, Lu Chong's face reddened.
His teacher had done so much for him, and he was sincere about it. Naturally, it wasn't for the so-called handwritten letter. If he were to say that, it would seem as if he was trying to sound him out. It was like he was gauging the heart of a gentleman with his own mean measure.
"By the way, how did you deal with the Lin family in the end?"
Zhang Xuan turned to look at Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan had no idea how the Lin Clan and the Lin Clan had dealt with the matter after the lecture and his departure.
"I didn't kill them. Instead, I had Division Head Liao cripple their cultivation for me," Lu Chong replied.
Even though he had no choice but to exact his vengeance, he knew that killing them just like that was already letting them off lightly.
The Lin Family had been incomparably arrogant these past few years and had offended many people. With their cultivation crippled, and without the protection of the formation, even if he didn't do anything, this once illustrious family would definitely become a fleeting cloud, completely disappearing in the long river of history.
If he didn't kill them, he would be able to preserve his teacher's honor. He wouldn't be branded as a murderer.
"Un." Hearing the other party's words, Zhang Xuan nodded.
It had to be said that this student, whose heart was filled with hatred, had grown up after experiencing this incident.
If he really annihilated the entire Lin Clan, he would be in a disadvantageous position.
Crippling their cultivation and forcing them to live on was probably more painful than death.
"Teacher, I obtained this from the Lin Clan..."
Lu Chong took out a storage ring and passed it over.
Since the Lin Clan had already been destroyed, it was natural that he wouldn't leave behind any valuable items. Thus, he kept all of them in his storage ring.
As for this storage ring, it was also taken from Lin Ruotian's finger.
Lu Chong casually took it.
He wasn't interested in his student's possessions, but he didn't feel any guilt accepting the Lin Clan's possessions.
After all, without him, putting aside exacting vengeance, he might not even be able to survive after being captured by the Lin Clan.
Dripping a drop of fresh blood on the ring, Zhang Xuan extended his consciousness into it, and a vast space appeared before his eyes. It was much larger than the previous storage ring, measuring a hundred meters in length and width.
"As expected of the Lin Clan, there are so many gold coins here..."
Sweeping his consciousness across the storage ring, Zhang Xuan saw a mountain of gold coins, numbering at least a billion.
But of course, the most valuable items weren't these. Rather, it was the various formations, weapons, and spirit herbs.
"Spirit stones?"
Looking around, Zhang Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
In a corner of the storage ring, there were a few spirit stones quietly placed in a jade box, emanating a faint spiritual energy.
Counting them, there were a total of ten spirit stones, even more than what he had obtained from the Tianwu royal family.
"With so many spirit stones, I should be able to reach Half-Zhizun realm without a problem..."
Zhang Xuan chuckled.
Zongshi realm pinnacle was only a small cultivation stage away from Half-Zhizun realm. The amount of spiritual energy required was probably more than that of the entire Zongshi realm.
He was still conflicted on where he could find spirit stones, but to think that the Lin Clan would be so wealthy.
"Are there any cultivation technique manuals or secret manuals?"
After finding the spirit stones, Zhang Xuan continued his search.
There were two things that were of utmost importance to him at the moment. Firstly, spirit stones. Secondly, cultivation technique manuals and secret manuals. The more, the better.
"Hmm? There are quite a few formation master manuals here... "
Soon, Zhang Xuan's eyes came to a stop. He saw a huge pile of books on formations.
As a formation clan, the number of such books they had was probably even greater than that of the Formation Master Guild in the capital.
Sweeping through these books, his eyes soon fell on the final pile of books.
"There are indeed Half-Zhizun and Zhizun realm cultivation technique manuals here..."
At the very end of the bookshelves were the most precious items of the Lin Clan, the Lin Clan's cultivation techniques and battle techniques.
Among the cultivation techniques passed down in the family, there were cultivation techniques for half-step Supremes and Supremes.
However, there weren't many of them.
There were only a dozen Half-Zhizun and two Zhizun realm cultivation techniques.
"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat..."
If others were to obtain these cultivation techniques, they would surely be overwhelmed with excitement. However, to Zhang Xuan, they weren't of much use. However, many a little makes a mickle, so he decided to take a look at the contents first.
Hu!
A book appeared in Zhang Xuan's palm, and as soon as he touched it, the same content appeared in the Library of Heaven's Path.
"Compile!"
Gathering the dozen Half-Zhizun realm cultivation techniques together, Zhang Xuan swiftly compiled a single book.
Flipping it open, Zhang Xuan was rendered speechless.
There were very few correct sentences, making it impossible for him to compile a cultivation technique.
"Forget it..."
Knowing that if he were to cultivate according to this method, putting aside achieving a breakthrough, it would already be a blessing if he didn't die, Zhang Xuan immediately lost interest.
"What is that?"
Just as Zhang Xuan was about to withdraw from the storage ring, an average-sized jade bottle suddenly appeared in the corner of the storage ring.
It wasn't too big, and it didn't look too eye-catching either. However, it was carved out of the top-notch [Spirit Accumulation Jade], and it emanated a gentle aura.
Flicking his wrist, the jade bottle appeared in his hands.
Without opening it, Zhang Xuan muttered in his mind, "Flaws!"
A book appeared in the Library of Heaven's Path, and Zhang Xuan flipped it open. "Carved out of Spirit Accumulation Jade, the work of a 7-mo craftsman. It has the ability to prevent one's blood from rotting and spiritual energy from dissipating. It contains two droplets of the grade-1 spirit beast, Steel Armored Dragon's blood essence! "
"Spirit beast blood essence?"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up, and he nearly leaped up in agitation.
Previously, when he was fighting with Lin Ruotian, the Library of Heaven's Path clearly showed that the other party had consumed the spirit beast blood essence, which was why he was so energetic.
Zhang Xuan thought that the other party had already absorbed all of the spirit beast blood essence, but to think that there would still be two droplets remaining.
It seemed like the daughter of the princess consort had given him three droplets, but given his stamina, he only managed to assimilate one droplet.
Even so, it still allowed him to rise from Zongshi realm pinnacle to Half-Zhizun realm pinnacle.
"Is there a way to use it?"
Spirit beast blood essence was different from spirit stones in that it wasn't simply consumed. There was a unique method to assimilate it into one's body and raise one's fighting prowess.
Since the head of the Lin Clan had succeeded, there must be a way to assimilate it.
With this thought in mind, Zhang Xuan began searching through his storage ring. Not too long later, a secret manual appeared before his eyes. There were five words written on it — < Spirit Blood Body Nourishment Formula >!
"Flaws!"
Zhang Xuan kept it in the Library of Heaven's Path. Flipping through it, he was rendered speechless.
This Spirit Blood Body Nourishment Formula might seem incredible, but it was filled with hundreds of flaws.
How could one cultivate such a cultivation technique?
"Right, there are quite a few physical body cultivation techniques in Tianwu Kingdom's Book Collection Vault. I should try fusing them together..."
After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Xuan was just about to toss the book aside when a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
After sweeping through Tianwu Kingdom's Book Collection Vault, there were quite a few physical body cultivation technique manuals in there.
Many of them were much stronger than the ones he saw at Master Lu Chen's residence.
Zhang Xuan had been avenging Lu Chong ever since he left the kingdom's Book Collection Vault, so he hadn't had the chance to browse through them.
Thus, he took out these books from the Library of Heaven's Path and placed them together with the Spirit Blood Body Nourishment Formula.
"Compile!"
Hu!
A brand new book appeared before Zhang Xuan's eyes.
He hurriedly flipped it open, and the contents within came into view.
"Through the improvement of one's physical body and the tempering of one's zhenqi, one's physical body can reach a level comparable to that of one's zhenqi, or perhaps even higher. However, it is extremely difficult to achieve a breakthrough! Through the nourishment of spirit blood, one's body can become as fearsome as a spirit beast's... "
The book was filled with the cultivation technique.
"It works..."
Swiftly browsing through it, Zhang Xuan clenched his fists tightly.
Just as he had guessed, by fusing this book with the physical body cultivation technique manuals, a new Heaven's Path Divine Art was formed.
"Let's call it... Heaven's Path Golden Body 2-dan!"
Knowing that it could be cultivated, Zhang Xuan immediately named it.
Even though the Heaven's Path Golden Body that he had formed at Lu Chen's residence was formidable, as his cultivation advanced, it was no longer of much use. On the other hand, the Heaven's Path Golden Body before him, which contained the higher tier physical body cultivation technique manuals and the Spirit Blood Body Nourishment Formula, was clearly of a higher tier.
"In order to cultivate it, one has to smear the spirit blood on one's acupoints and absorb the energy contained within to improve one's physical body. Once one succeeds, the cultivator will possess formidable fighting prowess... "
After recalling the contents of the book, Zhang Xuan opened the jade bottle in his palm and poured out two droplets of blood essence. Following the method recorded in the book, he smeared them on his acupoints.
Tzzzzzz!
As soon as the spirit blood essence came into contact with his skin, he felt a searing heat reminiscent of flames.
Spirit beasts were existences beyond that of Fighter. Without a cultivation technique, not only would one not be able to advance one's cultivation, one might even die on the spot.
