On the top floor of the library, Lin Feng stood before numerous Earth-rank cultivation techniques, caught in a dilemma. Each technique was incredibly tempting, but the academy stipulated that only one could be chosen, and this time it was only for the suppression of the Five Elements Technique.
Therefore, after much deliberation, he finally selected six techniques most suitable for himself:
*Blazing Sun Burning the World Technique*, *Dragon Roar Tsunami Technique*, *Mysterious Yellow Limitless True Technique*, *Heaven-Splitting Sky-Severing True Technique*, *Ten Thousand Trees Returning to the Origin True Technique*, and finally, *Thunderous Might Technique*, which had been placed here with the permission of the Imperial Clan. These
corresponded to the five elements: fire, water, earth, metal, wood, and thunder.
Leaving aside the five elements closely related to Lin Feng's own attributes, even the high-level Earth-rank *Thunderous Might Technique* seemed very suitable to him. Although it was unrelated to the five elements, if he could cultivate a powerful body, suppressing the abnormal fluctuations of his internal fighting qi would be a piece of cake.
Furthermore, this cultivation technique belongs to the Thunder Clan. If Lin Feng can become an eighth-grade alchemist in the future, and if he really can't keep up with Xiao Yan and the Soul Emperor, joining the Thunder Clan would be a viable option.
However, after a moment's hesitation, his years of training still made him exclude the "Thunderous Might Technique." Lin Feng still wanted to rely on himself; relying on someone else was not so easy.
The arrogance of the Imperial Clan was different from that of the academy. Lin Feng could choose to join the academy without hesitation, but if he were to join the Imperial Clan, it would be out of necessity.
As for the Imperial Clan looking down on him, well, while transmigrators shouldn't be arrogant, they shouldn't lack backbone.
After considering the remaining five cultivation techniques, Lin Feng hesitated again. Any one of the five elemental techniques had a significant suppressive effect on him.
First was the metal-elemental "Heaven-Splitting Sky-Shattering True Technique." When practicing this technique, Dou Qi would be transformed into powerful metal Dou Qi, causing a great tearing sensation in the body. With each circulation, the body would become stronger.
If he could find a rare and exotic metal from the vast world and refine it into his body, then fighting opponents of higher levels would be commonplace and effortless for Lin Feng.
However, Lin Feng eliminated it without hesitation. The intense tearing sensation during cultivation was enough to deter him. Pain was already commonplace for Lin Feng, who cultivated the soul technique "Grinding Wheel Soul Forging Method."
But if his already unstable battle qi were to erupt again during its circulation, Lin Feng would die, perhaps only able to join the great cause of "hehehe."
After eliminating another technique, Lin Feng seemed to have an epiphany and eliminated the water-attribute technique "Dragon Roar Tsunami Technique." Although this technique was also extremely good, and its inherent dragon attribute aura might even have unexpected uses at some point, Lin Feng still eliminated it. After all,
he wanted to counteract the conflict between water and fire, not to mention that he also planned to subdue a strange fire for his own use. The water-attribute aura alone would pose a significant obstacle during alchemy, making it a losing proposition.
After a reluctant glance, Lin Feng decisively put it back in its original place.
In the end, only the fire-attribute "Blazing Sun Burning the World Technique," the earth-attribute "Mysterious Yellow Limitless True Technique," and the wood-attribute "Ten Thousand Trees Returning to the Origin True Technique" remained before Lin Feng.
Lin Feng coveted all three techniques. The fire attribute was helpful for refining strange fires, the earth attribute was clearly superior in suppressing a path, and the life aura of the wood attribute was also very useful in dealing with battle qi.
For a moment, Lin Feng was caught in a dilemma and closed his eyes to ponder deeply.
"I've decided on you!"
After a few moments of thought, Lin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed the "Mysterious Yellow Limitless True Technique" that exuded a rich and powerful aura, and then unhesitatingly put it back on its original bookshelf.
Mysterious Yellow Limitless True Technique: Mid-level Earth-rank technique, known for its tenacity. It is said that as long as one's feet are firmly planted on the ground, one can possess an endless cycle of battle qi. Furthermore, its powerful battle qi has a strong suppressive effect, which is very helpful in resolving Lin Feng's problem. Additionally, due to its powerful attribute, the cultivator's strength will greatly increase.
Unfortunately, if it weren't so irrelevant to Lin Feng's subsequent plans, this technique would be extremely suitable for him as the primary cultivation method for the Five Elements Technique.
Ultimately, only the fire and wood techniques remained before Lin Feng. In the end, Lin Feng abandoned the "Blazing Sun Burning the World Technique," which was more advantageous for refining different flames, and chose the wood-attribute "True Technique of Returning to the Origin of Myriad Trees."
True Technique of Returning to the Origin of Myriad Trees: A mid-level Earth-rank technique, possessing powerful vitality, it can enhance life essence, allowing for rapid recovery from injuries, and its battle qi is inexhaustible. It can continuously refine spirit wood hearts to enhance the life attribute of battle qi; the older the spirit wood heart, the more powerful its effect on the technique.
Upon seeing the description of this cultivation technique, Lin Feng immediately envisioned a towering ancient tree. If he could refine even a portion of this tree, his future would be unimaginable.
Although this goal was incredibly difficult, no one is without grand plans. Even if he ultimately failed to achieve it, the mid-level Earth-rank "True Technique of Returning to the Origin of Myriad Trees" was still excellent.
Indeed, fire-attribute techniques were more advantageous for Lin Feng in refining strange fire, while wood-attribute techniques would increase the difficulty. However, the strange fire Lin Feng had chosen was somewhat of an exception. It not only possessed the fire attribute common to all strange fires but also had a unique wood attribute.
"So be it," Lin Feng muttered to himself, "If I really can't find a solution to the conflict between the five attributes of battle qi, it won't be too late to switch to a fire-attribute technique then. After all, for an alchemist, a fire-attribute technique is the best choice."
Finally, Lin Feng glanced at the cultivation techniques one last time, then turned and left with the "True Technique of Returning to the Origin of Myriad Trees" in his hand.
"Who knows, we might meet again someday?"
When Lin Feng reappeared outside the pavilion, only Vice Dean Hu Qian remained, waiting for him. The two elders, Qian Bai and Qian Shi, had already gone into seclusion shortly after Lin Feng's departure.
The
sound of footsteps startled Hu Qian, who was standing and feigning sleep. Seeing Lin Feng emerge, he asked with concern,
"Elder Lin Feng, how was it? Did you obtain the cultivation technique you desired?"
Hu Qian's words stirred Lin Feng's memories again; he had wanted to possess all those rows of Earth-rank cultivation techniques.
"The 'True Technique of Returning to the Origin of Myriad Trees'!"
A cultivation technique appeared in his hand, and Lin Feng smiled slightly at Hu Qian.
"Thank you very much, Vice Dean. When I advance to the sixth-grade alchemist realm, I will definitely refine a Breakthrough Pill for you."
Seeing the delighted look in his eyes, Lin Feng quickly added.
"Of course, it's the rule for alchemists to provide their own materials."
"Hahaha, Elder Lin Feng is indeed generous." Hearing Lin Feng's promise, Hu Qian was overjoyed, stroking his beard and waving his hands repeatedly. As for the medicinal materials for refining the Breakthrough Pill, he had already prepared several sets, but unfortunately, the old man Huo was really unhelpful.
As for entrusting it to Han Feng to refine, he wasn't stupid; such a strategic-level pill wasn't something to be easily given away.
After obtaining the cultivation technique, Lin Feng didn't immediately enter seclusion. After all, he had only just finished nearly a month of seclusion, and he was already quite bored. In addition, having just broken through to the second-star Dou Wang level, he couldn't make any major breakthroughs in the short term, so he decided to go see Little Fairy Doctor.
When Lin Feng returned to the classroom, he found that Instructor Ruolin's class had already ended. After asking a few passing students, Lin Feng went to the academy's cafeteria.
"Little Fairy Doctor, how did you grow such a slender waist?"
"Yes, yes, is there some secret? Teach us quickly!
"
Little Fairy Doctor simply smiled and remained silent in response to the questions, which was typical of her personality. Seeing Little Fairy Doctor's expression, the crowd understood that she didn't have any secret, and then turned their attention to the girl who had initially asked Little Fairy Doctor.
"Xiao Yu, forget about Little Fairy Doctor's slender waist, tell us quickly how you grew such long legs!"
"Yes, yes, and so tender!"
A rather fierce female student said, pinching Xiao Yu's long leg exposed by her jeans, giggling.
"Ah, you damn perverted girl, see how I deal with you!"
The crowd watching the two bickering didn't stop them at all, but instead cheered, and eventually everyone joined in the fray, even the quiet Little Fairy Doctor wasn't spared. Fortunately, these crazy female students knew that no male students were present, otherwise, many male students would have been forced to stand up.
When Lin Feng arrived at the cafeteria entrance, this was the scene he saw. His lips twitched slightly; he couldn't bear to look.
"Are Xian'er and the others always this crazy?"
Actually, all six cultivation techniques were very suitable for Lin Feng. If he had to choose the most suitable, he'd prioritize Fire, Earth, Wood, and Thunder, with Water and Metal slightly less so.
