Chapter 88 - 79: Massive Gains! Five Elements Fire Element Technique = Brewing Five Elements Fire Potion, Essence Pill Formula!

No wonder he was the most powerful Qi Refinement prodigy over a hundred years ago—this storage bag, looted from the Tiger-faced Cultivator, is five times bigger than the one Lin Chang’sheng snatched before!

The space inside is thirty feet across!

And as for Spirit Stones, there’s a huge pile—all sparkling white!

After counting them, there are more than 1,200 pieces!

Three Cultivation Technique books, one Array Scripture, one Foundation Establishment Pill Formula, two Foundation Establishment Pills, one Essence Pill Formula, ten bottles of Essence Pills—five in each bottle, two Top Grade Magical Artifacts: one Ancient Sword Magical Artifact and one Fan Magical Artifact.

Seven Middle Grade Magical Artifacts.

One beast hide map, a fiery red feather thick as an arm, all sorts of herbs, and a big pile of Demon Beast Materials!

"Damn, this is crazy rich!"

"This trip was so worth it! What a damn windfall!"

Lin Chang’sheng stared at the stuff in the storage bag with excitement glinting in his eyes.

First things first.

Time to upgrade storage bags.

And I can finally swap out for a top-tier Magical Artifact!

"Mission for the Golden Line Python is done. Time to return to the sect."

"But... there’s still time. Before I leave, I’ll get to entry level in the Five Elements Fire Element Technique!"

Lin Chang’sheng held a register in his hands, thinking silently.

The Five Elements Fire Element Technique was a technique he got from the sect. But because he was messing with other Magics and wanted to chug down a Spirit Storage Pill to grind Cultivation Experience Points, it got delayed. Now everything’s wrapped up, he can finally cultivate the Five Elements Fire Element Technique.

[Five Elements Fire Element Technique (Entry Level 0/1000)]

[Detected Cultivation Immortality Technique: Five Elements Fire Element Technique. You can consume 5 Spirit Stones to simplify it. Simplify?]

Lin Chang’sheng held the Five Elements Fire Element Technique, looked over it for more than an hour, and then two red prompts popped up on his interface.

"Simplify!"

Lin Chang’sheng instantly clicked confirm.

[Great Dao is Simple: Cultivation Immortality Technique Five Elements Fire Element Technique is being simplified... Simplification complete! Five Elements Fire Element Technique == Boil Five Elements Fire Potion]

Lin Chang’sheng hit confirm, and in less than a hundred breaths, a red prompt popped up again.

"Huh? Five Elements Fire Element Technique = Boil Five Elements Fire Potion? How the hell do I boil this?"

Looking at the simplified result, Lin Chang’sheng looked thoughtful.

Yuan Condensing Technique = Stirring Five Elements Items—so this time, Boil Five Elements Fire Potion? Is it about tossing Five Elements Items into a pot, adding water and boiling?

"Alright, time to leave this Illusionary Stone Collection Array and find a place with water nearby. I’ll fetch a few barrels, head to the mountain top, and fire up the pot!"

With this thought, Lin Chang’sheng’s interest spiked.

He had a storage bag especially for pots, pans, soup pots, stands, and other living supplies, just to be ready for weird requests after simplifying techniques or magics—no more scrambling for stuff last-minute.

Once I’m on the mountain top, I can boil the Five Elements Fire Potion, chop wood with my saber, practice some fancy wind-bending waist moves and Shaking Body and Hips. Multitasking—four birds with one stone! Only regret: the sun’s not scorching enough, or I could make it five.

Lin Chang’sheng walked out of the cave, left the Illusionary Stone Collection Array, and reached the highlands—only to spot, about fifty miles back, a huge stretch of marsh. Without hesitation, he headed straight for the marsh.

Soon after...

Lin Chang’sheng arrived at the marshlands.

This area spanned nearly a hundred miles, home to Ice Profound Turtles, Silver-backed Crocodiles, Bloodthirsty Leeches, and about a dozen types of Demon Insects and Demon Beasts. Most of the Demon Beasts here were at about Qi Refining Fifth or Sixth Layer, and a few matched the early stage of Qi Refining Seventh Layer—in other words, pretty damn strong.

Lots of Liuyun Immortal Sect disciples came here to do missions and harvest Demon Beast Materials.

Lin Chang’sheng reached the edge of the marsh, set up a stove and a pot, tossed in wood, some fire medicine, water, gold, and earth pieces, pulled out dry firewood from his storage bag, then cast Fireball Technique inside!

BOOM!

The firewood roared to life, and in no time, the water in the pot was boiling.

Lin Chang’sheng took out a giant ladle and gave the pot a stir.

Five Elements Fire Element Technique Experience Points +1!

Five Elements Fire Element Technique Experience Points +1!

.......

"Oh? It really does give me EXP!"

As Lin Chang’sheng watched the red prompt pop up on his screen, his eyes lit up. He grabbed a small stool, sat down, and stirred the pot while swiveling his waist, busting some dance moves.

As soon as this pot was done, he’d head for the mountain top and hit a four-in-one target shot.

"Run! Ice Profound Turtles are coming!"

"....."

At that moment—

A shout came from the distance, and four or five figures suddenly dashed like mad toward Lin Chang’sheng.

Behind them, massive waves exploded across the marsh, ice arrows flying everywhere—four gigantic Ice Profound Turtles were chasing them, quick as lightning.

As the chase burst forward—

The group ended up pretty close to Lin Chang’sheng.

"Huh? Isn’t that my little courtyard neighbor Liu Zhengfeng? Zhao Kai? And that Nie Yuan who asked me to team up for missions?"

Seeing these guys running for their lives, Lin Chang’sheng was genuinely surprised.

Along with them were two girls—one at Sixth Layer of Qi Refining, the other at the Peak of Qi Refining Fifth Layer.

"Senior Brother Lin, is that you? Get out of here!"

"The four Ice Profound Turtles are right behind us!"

Spotting Lin Chang’sheng chilling by the water with a big steaming pot, Liu Zhengfeng’s sharp eyes quickly shouted a warning.

"Such a pain in the ass."

Lin Chang’sheng frowned. If these Ice Profound Turtles rampaged through here, their water-splashing would screw with his Five Elements Fire Potion brewing. Not happening.

He made up his mind on the spot.

With a wave of both hands, eighteen Small Fire Beads shot out like Meteor Fire Rain—aimed right at the eyes of the four charging Ice Profound Turtles!

Meteor Fire Rain—awkward angles, deadly accuracy.

In a flash, all four turtles had their eyes scorched, howling in pain, crawling around blind, frantically shooting out Profound Ice Arrows as they spun in place.

"Wind God Scroll!"

Lin Chang’sheng’s brow furrowed. His figure shot forward like lightning, landing on the shells of the turtles, Slaying Saber in hand—slashing out invisible Purple Thunder Wind Blades. In an instant, the four beasts, each as strong as a cultivator at the early stage of Qi Refining Seventh Layer, had their heads chopped clean off by Lin Chang’sheng!
