Chapter 160: 105 Each Has Arrangements (Second Update) Chapter 160: 105 Each Has Arrangements (Second Update) Fang Yuxin led Bai Qianqian along, choosing carefully. Each time, it was she who retrieved the Jade Scroll from the spirit light, then handed it to Bai Qianqian to check. After examining a total of 352 scrolls, Bai Qianqian finally found the Cultivation Technique meant for him.
This time, the moment he took the Jade Scroll in hand, Bai Qianqian felt something different. Then, with practiced ease, he probed into it with his Spiritual Tentacles, and found that the seal within the scroll wasn’t immobile as before. Instead, it rippled with waves of light and then dissolved like melting snow.
Immediately after, he saw the name of the Cultivation Technique—Five Elements Rotation Technique! The essence of the Five Elements Rotation Technique was the eternal cycle of the five elements, perfectly suited for someone with a Five Elements Spirit Root.
Even though Bai Qianqian couldn’t understand the subsequent arcane descriptions, he had an inkling that this was indeed suitable for him. He couldn’t help but grip the Jade Scroll tightly in his hand, his face flushed and his expression one of excitement.
However, just as he was emotionally stirred, a dazzling golden light suddenly shot out from the scroll and pierced into his Sea of Consciousness! Instinctively, he attempted to block it with his spiritual power to no avail; his spiritual barrier had barely formed when it completely disintegrated in the golden light.
At first, he panicked, but then he realized that the golden light was the sealed technique within the scroll. As the golden light entered his Sea of Consciousness, his mind was instantly filled with many obscure characters. However, these characters were fleeting, and he couldn’t remember a single one!
As the golden light vanished and the seal within the scroll reemerged, the Jade Scroll returned to its original appearance.
At the same time, the first volume of the Five Elements Rotation Technique appeared in Bai Qianqian’s mind. The rest of the content was sealed, unlockable only when his cultivation reached the necessary level. This was actually a form of protection by the mighty being who had imprinted the technique into the scroll for their successors. The full text of the technique was too vast, and Bai Qianqian, still young, could not have sustained it in his Sea of Consciousness, which is why the content after the first volume was sealed.
Even though it was only the first volume, Bai Qianqian was thrilled. He reluctantly returned the Jade Scroll to Fang Yuxin’s hand, and before he could speak, Fang Yuxin excitedly asked, “Qianqian, did you find it?”
Bai Qianqian nodded hurriedly, his soft, mushy voice earnestly responding, “Mama, it’s the Five Elements Rotation Technique. The technique has been transferred into my Sea of Consciousness, but I can only see the first volume, the rest is sealed.”
Fang Yuxin breathed a sigh of relief. She had been leading Bai Qianqian along this entire time without finding a thing and was starting to feel anxious. Hearing the name Five Elements Rotation Technique, she vaguely felt that it must be an excellent technique and couldn’t help but feel overjoyed. Cradling the Jade Scroll, she respectfully placed it back into the orb of light, then, with Bai Qianqian in tow, they bowed toward the light before leaving.
Both of them noticed that this was a truly magical place. After turning around, the orbs of light they had previously touched had disappeared without a trace. Oddly enough, they both felt as though the orbs were still there, just invisible to them now.
That cluster of white light remained distant, but oddly, it looked no closer than when they had first seen it. It seemed as if they had walked so far, but in reality, they had been merely marking time in place.
Fang Yuxin knew this to be the marvel of the Formation and didn’t delve into it further, instead pulling Bai Qianqian toward the White Jade. They had barely taken a step when the scene before them changed abruptly. The endless void around them began to crack and vanished without a trace, revealing the White Jade in front of them, standing solidly there, touchable just by reaching out a hand.
Bai Qianqian was still a child, innocent and carefree, and he couldn’t help exclaiming, “Wow! Ma, that was so amazing just now!”
Fang Yuxin nodded in agreement, finding everything that had just happened incredibly magical. The next moment, both of them couldn’t help but look back. Behind them, the void was nowhere to be seen, only the usual wooden racks and Jade Scrolls remained, indistinguishable from before and as ordinary as ever.
Bai Qianqian exclaimed again, “Wow!”
Fang Yuxin led him away, quickly heading back to Fang Jintang and the others. Their minds were withdrawn from the wondrous Illusion Realm, as they instinctively looked toward Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe, relieved to see they were fine.
They had spent quite some time choosing the Jade Scroll, and just as they came out, it so happened that Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe had finished absorbing the Elemental Crystal. Fang Yuxin walked over, checked on them, and then couldn’t wait to have them test their Spirit Root again to see if it really had an effect.
