Walker Of The Worlds Chapter 2140 Picking The Jade Slips

Chapter 2140  Picking The Jade Slips

The Searing Sparrow Darts was a skill that was decent, but was lacking for Lin Mu compared to his other skills. But when combined with Wonder Seeker, it became several times better. The skill could be adapted into an arrow by the bow and even amplify its power further, thereby making it stronger.

Not just that but the bow could even attack on its own without Lin Mu needed to control it if he wished for it. As such, having more skills to use in conjunction with Wonder Seeker would be great. While he used the True Earth Heart Dao Embryo to create stone arrows, it was still from his Dao Skill and needed greater power to do so.

The metal arrows he created were also a bit vague since they were just made out of pure metal elemental immortal Qi and weren't an actual Qi skill. Thus having a Qi skill here would be a good choice for it.

For example, among the twenty Qi skills Lin Mu had picked out, there was one that was called as Elephant Shredding Bolt.

It was a Metal Elemental Qi skill that allowed one to create a large illusory ballista that shot a bolt which could shred an elephant sized beast with ease. This skill was fully compatible with Wonder Seeker from what Lin Mu could tell and would be a perfect fit for it.

Then there was a dual Fire and Earth Elemental Qi skill called as Foot Swallowing Tar Bombs. Just like its name, it allowed one to create bombs that would spread sticky tar wherever they exploded. This could help restrict humans as well as other beasts, and could come in handy when Lin Mu needed to deal with large numbers of them at once without killing them.

While it could still cause damage, it was not that great and wouldn't kill the others.

Lin Mu reckoned, using it with Wonder Seeker will probably increase its efficiency and reach by several times.

In addition to these, there were several other Qi skills that he picked out, but these were the top on his list.

Once Lin Mu was done with the three crystal jade slips, he finally moved onto the four crystal jade slips.

"Oh? There's other things than Qi skills and cultivation technique mixed in this." Lin Mu noticed feeling a bit surprised. "A weapon forging blueprint…" he muttered.

Immortal weapons were certainly valuable, but what was often more valuable than that would be the method of making them. These methods were priceless to their creators and they would seldom reveal it to others. Most of the time, they would only pa.s.s it on to their disciples, and thus keep it limited to their legacy.

This was why great Weapon Forgers were so valued, as a good weapon could multiply the strength of an Immortal with ease. It was the single most straightforward method of growing one's power after all.

Depending on the type of weapon, the value of its blueprints would also vary greatly. A higher rank weapon's blueprint would obviously have a greater value. This was especially the case for organizations and powers like cultivation sects who would pay no expense in obtaining a good weapon blueprint. After all, it could greatly elevate the power of an entire sect if they could replicate the weapons.

The weapon blueprint contained in the jade slip was exactly that. "Eighteen Notched Cavalry Saber…" Lin Mu read the weapon's name.

The Immortal Weapon was a mid grade immortal weapon and was perfect for those in below the Fourth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal Realm. This was usually what the majority disciples of a sect were at thus the Eighteen notched Calvary Saber would fit their needs.

And it wasn't just because of its rank either, but because the materials needed to make the Eighteen Notched Cavalry Saber were also cheap and easy to find. "It can be made from Hundred Refined Immortal Iron mixed with a small quant.i.ty of Heavy Corundum, they will give it toughness and with the technique prescribed in the blue prints, one can add a great sharpness to it too." Lin Mu read the contents of the jade slip.

The cost to benefit ratio of this jade slip was quite high, as it could be used to ma.s.s produce immortal weapons. But ultimately this was something that didn't really matter to Lin Mu. He had his own high rank immortal weapons and thus something as simple as the Eighteen Notched Cavalry Saber would be useless to him.

'If there's something like this in the Four Crystal Jade Slips, there should be better stuff too.' Lin Mu reckoned and scoured through the rest of them.

The number of Four crystal jade slips was not that high, being less than ten in most of the shelves. As such, it didn't take Lin Mu to check all of them, especially with the others having already gone through their sections. Lin Mu's companions merely told them what they had found, making it easier for Lin Mu to determine whether they were good for him or not.

Surprisingly, a majority of the four crystal jade slips turned out to be worthless for Lin Mu. Even more so when compared to the Three Crystal Jade Slips that had the projectile Qi skills he would be able to use. There were several good cultivation techniques in the four crystal jade slips too, but they weren't needed by Lin Mu anyway.

As for the Qi skills, there were barely a couple of them on each shelf and they weren't necessarily better than Lin Mu's own skills. Adding them would not be of much benefit to him, thus he ended up not picking any of them finally.

After about sixteen hours of scouring the library, Lin Mu finally moved onto the 'dessert', the Five Crystal Jade Slips.

These were supposedly the best out of all of the, from what they had learned from the first one they had checked.

The Eight Valleys Holy Spear Technique was the signature technique of the Eight Valleys Immortal Sect and was a top quality Spear technique that would allow one to greatly improve their abilities.

Lin Mu wondered what other high quality Qi skills he would find among them.

The first five shelves he checked all had cultivation techniques on them, that weren't useful to Lin Mu. Though to most Immortals they were something they would kill to obtain. Everyone present here had top rank cultivation techniques thus these ended up being the last thing they would prefer picking from here.

'There are several Weapon blueprints in the five crystal jade slips too.' Lin Mu thought after going through more shelves. These were for High Grade Immortal Weapons and were not exactly meant for ma.s.s production. Instead these would be weapons that would be given to the elites of an organization or the elders of a sect. Making them also needed more valuable materials and needed skilled weapon forgers to make them.

There were several swords, sabers, spears, daggers and other weapons in it, but they weren't a need for Lin Mu in the end.

He wasn't going to spend effort in making a weapon and the nurturing it from the start when he already had others that were better than that.

In the end, his focus came back to the Qi skills among them. Their numbers were the lowest among the five crystal jade slips, and in the entire library the group only found a grand total of twenty one such jade slips.

And only one of them had caught Lin Mu's attention. But not due to its power, but because of how it was presented.

"This Qi skill… it is incomplete." Lin Mu discovered.

The description in the jade slip itself stated that this Qi skill was incomplete and only one part of it was contained in this.

"Grand Bagua Mythic Series Art… This does not seem normal." Lin Mu read the entire jade slip but could not exactly figure out what kind of Qi skill this was. Perhaps it was due to it being incomplete, but the description was a bit lacking.

'This jade slip has… the Qian Series inscribed in this.' Lin Mu read at the end. 'If this has to do with the Bagua, then there should be eight series.' He guessed.

It was one of the earlier concepts that Lin Mu had learned a long ago.

It was born from Taiji and was divided into eight parts: Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Gen, Dui, Kan, Li. Some of these corresponded to the basal elements, while some did to the heavenly elements, with a few being different entirely.

Bagua was considered more as a representation of the world itself and thus being part of the Dao too.

'Any technique that has to do with Bagua would have to touch upon the Dao for it to work… is this why it is incomplete? Even a fragment of the technique is worth a five crystal jade slip.' Lin Mu reckoned.
