Chapter 1479: Chapter 1476: A Hundred Top Treasures List! Heaven-reaching Sword Skill!

After arriving at the Five-colored Pavilion, Lin Bai parted ways with Nie Xiong and headed straight for the Purple Robe Pavilion.

Stepping through the grand entrance of the Purple Robe Pavilion, Lin Bai felt as if he had crossed into another world, where the pavilion interior shimmered like a starry sky, dotted with countless glittering points of light.

In this cosmos, an Elder in a white robe was sitting cross-legged. He raised his eyes to Lin Bai and said indifferently, "What do you seek in the Purple Robe Pavilion? State your name!"

Lin Bai was startled, then realized this could be the Elder guarding the Purple Robe Pavilion, so he bowed respectfully and said, "Inner Disciple Dongfang Bai, here to find a cultivation technique called the ’Qingmu Divine Thunder Secret Skill’."

Upon hearing this, the Elder in white robe waved his hand, and the star-like lights floating around Lin Bai scattered, leaving only a single point of light which slowly flew towards Lin Bai.

"The Qingmu Divine Thunder Formula is the second volume of the ancient ’Scripture of Five Elements,’ the Five Elements Sect’s foundational ultimate technique. It is a fragment that, according to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s estimation, should consist of five Chapters."

"In the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, we only have the Qingmu Divine Thunder Formula!"

"If you wish to exchange for the cultivation method of the Qingmu Divine Thunder Formula, you will need one billion Contribution Points!"

The Elder in white robe pushed the lingering point of light towards Lin Bai, who plucked it from the air. Its glow dissipated to reveal a jade slip inscribed with the words "Qingmu Divine Thunder" in his hand.

After reading it, Lin Bai’s face brightened, then he exclaimed in astonishment, "What? One billion Contribution Points! That expensive?"

The Elder in white robe said calmly, "Although the ’Qingmu Divine Thunder Secret Skill’ is only a fragment, it is a secret scripture of the Five Elements Sect and extremely precious. It is ranked eighth on the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s A Hundred Top Treasures List. Charging you one billion Contribution Points is already quite lenient."

"A Hundred Top Treasures List?" Lin Bai looked puzzled at the Elder in white robe.

The Elder in white robe explained, "The A Hundred Top Treasures List refers to the most precious treasures stored within the Five-colored Pavilion, which includes weapons, sword skills, martial techniques, Divine Powers, Divine Iron, and so on."

As he spoke, the Elder gestured with his hand, and numerous points of light converged in front of Lin Bai, lining up names of rare treasures before him.

"A Hundred Top Treasures List! First place, Heaven-reaching Sword Skill!"

"Second place, Incorruptible Divine Iron!"

"..."

"Eighth place, Qingmu Divine Thunder Secret Skill!"

"Ninth place, the Bodhi Pill!"

"..."

This list showcased over a hundred renowned treasures.

"Incorruptible Divine Iron ranked second? Does the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect still possess some?" Lin Bai asked with curiosity.

The Elder in white robe said, "In the past, the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect collected one hundred catties of Incorruptible Divine Iron from the Lingnan Continent to forge Immortal Swords. After the forging, only about three yin of Divine Iron remains. Should you wish to exchange for it, it would cost fifteen billion Contribution Points!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai clicked his tongue privately, "Merely three yin of Incorruptible Divine Iron costs fifteen billion Contribution Points? That’s too exorbitant."

The Elder in white robe said with a chuckle, "Hehe, young man, the rarity makes it precious. Nowadays, you can’t find even one catty of Incorruptible Divine Iron on the Lingnan Land. Charging you fifteen billion Contribution Points is already a small amount."

Lin Bai simply nodded noncommittally.

Who says you can’t find one catty? The Zhu Family of Zhu’s Fairy City found more than ten thousand catties!

Lin Bai spoke, "The Bodhi Pill..."

Lin Bai had heard of this type of elixir pill; on the mission to Dongshuang City, any Purple Robe Disciple participating could obtain one Bodhi Pill.

However, Lin Bai was not familiar with this item.

"The Heaven-reaching Sword Skill, what is that exactly?" Lin Bai asked curiously again.

The White Robe Elder said, "The Heaven-reaching Sword Skill is a closely-guarded secret of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect. If you need to exchange for it, you must pay a hundred billion Contribution Points!"

"A hundred billion, you’re robbing people," Lin Bai shuddered at the number and blurted out.

The White Robe Elder said, "The Heaven-reaching Sword Skill is ranked on the A Hundred Top Treasures List, and it’s placed here for you all to see. Stating the price of a hundred billion Contribution Points is merely to prevent ordinary disciples from obtaining it."

"If you wish to cultivate the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill, unless you are a Junior Sword Venerate, all others must pay a hundred billion Contribution Points, and that’s only for the first volume!"

Curious, Lin Bai asked, "After becoming a Junior Sword Venerate, will the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill become cheaper?"

The White Robe Elder nodded slightly and said, "Mmm, every Junior Sword Venerate can obtain the first volume of the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill. If your cultivation is successful, dominating the Lingnan Land will be no problem."

"Of course, if you are talented enough, you may continue to obtain the second volume!"

"Our current Sword Venerable of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect has cultivated up to the third volume of the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill, a person who is enough to change the dynamics of the Lingnan Land."

Lin Bai narrowed his eyes and said, "So, what kind of Sword Skill is recorded in the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill?"

The White Robe Elder said, "The Heaven-reaching Sword Skill engraves the Sword Techniques of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s swordsmen over more than twenty thousand years, including the cultivation records of past Sword Venerates of our sect!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai took interest and curiously asked again, "How many volumes does the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill have in total?"

The White Robe Elder said, "To date, the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect has collected four volumes! However, aside from the founding ancestor of our sect, no one has been able to cultivate to the fourth volume!"

"I see." Lin Bai nodded in sudden understanding: "Alright, I’ll exchange for the Qingmu Divine Thunder."

Lin Bai took out his Identity Token and handed it to the White Robe Elder.

"The Qingmu Divine Thunder Formula costs ten billion Contribution Points!" The elder didn’t even look at Lin Bai’s Identity Token, and with a thought, he deducted ten billion Contribution Points from it.

Looking at his Identity Token after getting it back, Lin Bai saw that there were still three billion Contribution Points remaining.

Subsequently, the Magic Circle Prohibition on the Jade Slip in Lin Bai’s hand finally slowly dissipated, allowing him to see the text content.

Having obtained what he wanted, Lin Bai turned and left the Purple Robe Pavilion, returning to Little Spirit Stream, and before he walked out of the Purple Robe Pavilion, he looked back at the "Heaven-reaching Sword Skill" with some anticipation in his eyes.

Back at the Little Spirit Stream, Lin Bai took out the Qingmu Divine Thunder Formula and began to read it carefully.

Half a day later, Lin Bai had read through the cultivation method of the Qingmu Divine Thunder back and forth several times, understanding it thoroughly.

"After cultivating the Qingmu Divine Thunder, the Spiritual Power will inherently contain the power of the Thunderbolt. Every move and style will carry the tremendous might of thunderbolts, and it can even use the power within the Divine Elixir to transform into thunderbolts to annihilate opponents!"

"The second volume of the ’Scripture of Five Elements,’ though a fragment, seems to be not so simple."

"Let’s start cultivating first."

Lin Bai closed his eyes, and his body silently began to operate the Qingmu Divine Thunder Formula.

Immediately, the Spiritual Power from heaven and earth uncontrollably converged into his body, gathering above his Dantian.

At this moment, strokes of electric arcs began to sweep across the Five Elements Divine Pill, and clumps of cyan thunderclouds started to condense, with cyan lightning shuttling incessantly within them.

This swath of cyan thunderclouds enveloped the Five Elements Divine Pill, as if it were an egg.

"Ha!" Two days later, Lin Bai chuckled and stood up from his room, walked out the door, looked towards a huge rock on the Little Spirit Stream, and with a wave of his hand, sent out a sword light that whistled away.

Within this sword light, a wisp of cyan Thunderbolt was diffused, striking the huge rock, and with a "crack," a scorched Sword Mark was left on the rock, still with lightning moving around above it!

"This sheer might with just a casual move? Qingmu Divine Thunder is indeed powerful," Lin Bai said indifferently: "But isn’t the consumption too great? This casual strike actually consumed the Thunderbolt Power I cultivated over the past two days!"

Lin Bai’s expression darkened as he saw that the Qingmu Divine Thunder on the Five Elements Divine Pill had been largely consumed, which instantly worried him!
