Chapter 223: The True Five Elements Cultivation Method! A Psychic Connection Spanning Six Hundred Ye
Chapter 223: The True Five Elements Cultivation Method! A Psychic Connection Spanning Six Hundred Years!
After several days, Su Ping had almost finished translating the notebook.
Indeed, the ancient text was not overly lengthy, with the entire notebook containing less than two thousand characters.
However, the arrangement of the ancient text was extremely cryptic and challenging to comprehend. Therefore, after translating it, Su Ping copied it into his notebook, temporarily lacking the time to search for interpretations online.
Now, it was crucial to understand the origins of this ancient text with the Zhang brothers. Perhaps, by doing so, they could simplify the process of deciphering it.
"Greetings, Cultivation Master Su!"
Upon meeting again, the two brothers, one fat and the other thin, appeared more reserved than ever.
Nonsense, they had emerged as the top cultivators at the Metropolis Cultivation Competition, and their influence and capabilities in this province were beyond imagination.
Su Ping nodded and, to the brothers who were overwhelmed with gratitude, poured two cups of tea before smiling and asking, "After these few days, I've gained some understanding of that thing. How did you come across it?"
Upon hearing this, the brothers glanced at each other, and the taller one, Zhang Chaoqun, took out another drawing from his pocket and handed it to Su Ping, saying, "Cultivation Master Su, please forgive us for not recognizing the significance of your background. Initially, we only knew that your identity was extraordinary, but we never imagined it to be this remarkable. In fact, among the dismantling blueprints left behind by the Five Elements Spirit King in the ancient secret realm that was unearthed, there was another one!"
"Of course, my brother and I didn't intentionally hide this from you. It's just that this blueprint was taken away by Councilor Shen of the Metropolis Mechanical Engineers Association for research."
"Now, after hearing about your situation, Councilor Shen asked us to convey his regards and inform you that if you're interested in this, you can take it all."
The two brothers exchanged glances, and one of them painfully said, "Additionally, Councilor Shen also asked us to return the three million we spent on these items to you..."
Hearing this, Su Ping waved his hand dismissively, "That's not necessary. Spending money on business is a natural thing. Just convey my thanks to Councilor Shen."
Only then did the two brothers breathe a sigh of relief.
It was evident that they had experienced a lot with Councilor Shen when they were in Metropolis.
Moreover, Su Ping had reason to suspect that these two might have directly approached Councilor Shen, and it was even possible that Councilor Shen would seek him out after learning about his background and the Cultivation Competition.
However, after his background and the Cultivation Competition became known, naturally, no one dared to entertain any devious thoughts.
Thinking of this, Su Ping smiled slightly, unbothered.
He looked at the additional blueprint, narrowing his eyes slightly.
On it, there was a drawing and numerous symbols and annotations.
However, unlike the circular Five Elements Nurturing diagram that Su Ping had seen before, this one was pentagonal, and based on the textual annotations, it primarily focused on the Five Elements Opposition.
It was the opposite of the previous Five Elements Nurturing.
Su Ping didn't rush and, after putting it down, turned to the two brothers, "Alright, tell me how you got this thing?"
Only then did the brothers finally stop holding back, "Actually, it's quite simple. In our hometown, Hongzhou in Linjiang Province, we used our family's secret method to explore an upcoming secret realm and bought it in advance. We found these things inside."
"The owner of this secret realm is none other than the Five Elements Spirit King, also known as Xue Honglian! All these things were discovered within that secret realm."
Xue Honglian, the Five Elements Spirit King? A female ancient beast master of imperial rank? Su Ping didn't mind.
He took out his phone and started searching.
Soon, information about this ancient beast master appeared on his phone.
With his access, he found quite a bit of information.
Xue Honglian, from the Liang Dynasty's Tian De 65, had a history of six hundred and thirteen years. She came from a prominent background, belonging to the ancient Xue family with a thousand-year heritage spanning two dynasties, the Liang and Wu Dynasties.
Within the Xue family, a total of five Holy Spirit rank beings emerged, namely the Holy Spirit Xue Lie, the Holy Spirit Xue Sanjiang...
Simultaneously, Xue Honglian was the beloved youngest daughter of the fifth Holy Spirit rank being in the Xue family, the Holy Spirit Xue Siming, also known as the Holy Spirit Xue Honglian. She was the wife of the Prince of Nanzhao in the Liang Dynasty!
Her identity was indeed prominent.
Xue Honglian's name appeared in such a prominent family, and although this family disappeared from history before the modernization of Dragon Kingdom, it had existed through two dynasties and produced five Holy Spirit rank beings. It was reasonable for them to possess the method of writing and deciphering the ancient snake script.
Su Ping acknowledged this.
Then, the two tomb raiders could just casually obtain the secret realm of such a figure? Was it that easy to encounter a secret realm belonging to a figure whose wealth and power rivaled a Holy Spirit rank being? Was it just a coincidence that he encountered someone like the Holy Spirit Yu Liangqing?
Of course, the Tianmu Sword Seal of Yu Liangqing is more important than anything else.
Su Ping came back to his senses and pondered.
From the name Xue Hongluan, he could deduce a lot of useful information.
However, this was obviously not enough.
Su Ping nodded and asked another question:
"In the secret realm of this Xue Hongluan, is there any trace left of the ancient person who created the hand notes?"
Exploring the ancient Beast Tamer's tomb secret realm to find ancient relics left in the secret realm is inherently a very troublesome matter.
The two brothers looked at each other, and then Zhang Chaofan seemed to think of something and said directly:
"Unusual, didn't you take some photos at the beginning? Quick, show Su Peiyu."
Zhang Chaofan then remembered and took out his phone, opened a special folder, and there were many photos inside.
In the photos, this is a colorful secret realm world.
Obviously, this Five Elements Spirit King Xue Hongluan, indeed has a strong preference for the Way of the Five Elements, and the secret realm is in this style.
Moreover, it can be seen that Xue Luan's pets are mostly elemental pets.
However, after flipping through, Su Ping still couldn't find the answer.
Su Ping was a little disappointed.
Apparently seeing Su Ping's expression, the two brothers were a little nervous. Zhang Chaofan helplessly said:
"Su Peiyu, this ancient Five Elements Spirit King did leave some things in her secret realm, but some of them were sold by my two brothers, and I'm really sorry. If you have enough time, we can find the previous buyer and see if there are any other clues."
Su Ping shook his head: "Forget it, besides these, there's nothing else left in the secret realm of this Xue family imperial Beast Tamer, right?"
Zhang Chaofan nodded, but soon was slightly startled: "There's one more thing, but it's just a decorative item with no use."
Now Su Ping won't let go of any small clue, and said directly: "Take it out and let me see."
Although figuring out the origin of this item won't be of much help in researching it, for a family that has researched the Five Elements for so many years, any discovery might be extremely important.
Zhang Bufan reluctantly took out the item from the Beast Space.
Indeed, as he said, this item is purely a decorative item with exquisite craftsmanship and a good appearance.
It's a jade pendant.
On the back of the jade pendant, there's a single character 'Xue'.
On the other side, there's a strange decorative pattern resembling magic, probably a personal preference of this ancient noble lady.
Su Ping's eyebrows slightly furrowed, but the jade pendant felt smooth and warm, indicating good quality jade. However, it's unclear what resources were used to carve it.
However, this item is completely different from the Tianmu Sword Seal.
It doesn't even have the storage capacity of the Tianmu Sword Seal, and is just a simple jade pendant.
Su Ping played with it for a while and then put it away.
Then, Su Ping asked about the situation in the secret realm.
Unfortunately, Xue Hongluan's secret realm collapsed and disappeared half a year ago. Otherwise, Su Ping really wanted to take a look.
Originally, Su Ping wanted to speculate about the secret realm and the situation within it, but after the two brothers arrived and chatted for more than an hour, Su Ping thoroughly understood.
For such a small matter, Su Ping felt a bit embarrassed to have come to Linzhou in person. So, as a payment for the jade pendant and the blueprint, Su Ping additionally gave 5 million.
After hearing that one of the brothers' pets is the Flame Wolf and wanting to cultivate the Ashen Wolf Lord, Su Ping called Ding Yan from Huaiyang Province.
He asked the brothers to directly take the money to find Ding Yan for cultivation.
At the same time, he made an agreement with the brothers: if there are any other interesting ancient special hand notes in the future, contact him first!
These three brothers are obviously talented as well.
Although a bit of personal connections were used, Su Ping still felt it was worth it.
Because at this moment, his gaze was on the sketch.
This is a draft with the same handwriting, showing the Five Elements Mutual Restraint.
This blueprint is also quite interesting. It's obviously from the same person as the previous blueprint, Xue Hongluan.
In the reception room, Su Ping couldn't help but start researching.
The Five Elements Mutual Generation allows energy to circulate continuously. Then, what benefits does the principle of the Five Elements Mutual Restraint have for pet cultivation?
Soon, Su Ping had an idea.
The correct version is available on 69shu.com! 6=9+shu_bar.
This is also the reason why that Shen Councilor wanted to research this blueprint.
Because at this moment, the Five Elements Mutual Restraint represented by this blueprint has more practical significance.
The Five Elements Mutual Generation is just used as a channel for energy conversion.
However, the principle of the Five Elements Mutual Restraint can make the attribute restraint more apparent.
Su Ping looked at the Five Elements Restraint Diagram, which consisted of a circle with various nodes. He couldn't help but take a few more glances at it.
Gold restrains wood, wood restrains earth, earth restrains water, water restrains fire, and fire restrains gold.
It's a simple principle, but it holds infinite mysteries.
However, it didn't seem to be of any help to him. Suddenly, Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed.
He felt something was amiss!
There was a paradox in the relationship between the Five Elements!
Gold restrains wood, wood restrains earth, earth restrains water, water restrains fire, and fire restrains gold.
Gold generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, and earth generates gold.
Something was wrong!
Su Ping quickly took out another diagram and began to jot down notes in his notebook.
Gold generates water, water restrains fire, fire generates earth, and earth restrains water...
This discovery couldn't be called a paradox, but rather, when the two elements of the Five Elements come together and condense, they give birth to a completely new energy transformation.
When the two elements of the Five Elements, which have a generative and restraining relationship, are derived to a third element, a change occurs.
For example, when water restrains fire, based on water generating wood and fire restraining wood, water restraining fire not only generates wood but also excites it!
After understanding this, it seemed to be not a difficult concept to comprehend.
Water restraining fire generates wood.
Wood restraining earth generates fire.
Fire restraining gold generates earth.
Earth restraining water generates gold.
Gold restraining wood generates water.
This is the derivation of the Five Elements' mutual generation and restraint.
Naturally, there is also the derivation of the Five Elements' mutual generation to derive the Five Elements' mutual restraint.
Fire generating earth generates wood.
Earth generating gold generates fire...
It's so amazing!
According to this theory, it may be possible to develop a completely new and more complex Five Elements Energy Conversion Diagram in the operation of the Five Elements' mutual generation and restraint.
This energy conversion not only achieves zero consumption but also allows the energy to increase during the process of mutual generation.
Su Ping licked the corner of his mouth, put down his notebook, and looked back at the two draft diagrams.
Soon, his eyebrows furrowed again.
Then, Su Ping suddenly glanced at the jade pendant placed aside.
On the jade pendant, in addition to the side engraved with the character 'Xue', there was another side with an extremely bizarre pattern.
It was somewhat similar to the magic array in some nonsensical anime. A circle surrounded a five-pointed star.
But at this moment, the more Su Ping looked, the more he felt the divine strangeness of it.
At this moment, Su Ping had no interest in the notebook or the original owner of the Five Elements Handwritten Notes.
Because at this very moment, he suddenly realized his mistake. He thought that the original owner of the handwritten notes, written in ancient serpentine script from the ancient times, was the one who had mastered the Five Elements.
Xue Hongluan was merely a later copyist.
Now it seemed, a huge mistake!
This extraordinary woman from the Liang Dynasty over six hundred years ago, this direct descendant of the Xue family, the Princess Consort of Southern Commandery, Xue Hongluan, might be the one who truly completed the analysis and achieved the ultimate understanding of the Five Elements' mutual generation and restraint!
The reason was that, in addition to the ancient serpentine script's obscure and incomprehensible ancient text and the basic Five Elements Formation Diagram, which was also likely to be an ancient legacy.
This Five Elements Spirit King, the Princess Consort of Southern Commandery, Xue Hongluan, the two draft diagrams she made were the true further advancement of her understanding of the Five Elements' great path!
At this moment, as Su Ping looked at the pattern on the jade pendant, he slowly overlapped the two draft diagrams.
A circular diagram of the Five Elements' mutual generation and a five-pointed star diagram of the Five Elements' mutual restraint slowly overlapped.
This time, the pattern that emerged was exactly the same as the pattern on Xue Hongluan's jade pendant!
However, it was even more intricate. For example, the energy orientation of the Five Elements written on this diagram was even more complex than the Five Elements Formation Diagram itself.
Ten more intricate mutual generation and restraint energy orientation diagrams, in the moment they overlapped, the messy directions and symbols completely fused together.
At this moment, Su Ping seemed to truly understand that the symbols, which were originally thought to be annotations for the draft diagram by the Zhang brothers, Shen Li, and even himself, were not their original intention.
After these two diagrams perfectly overlapped and combined, they were Xue Hongluan's true legacy from over six hundred years ago—her Five Elements' mutual generation and restraint energy orientation diagram!
At this moment, Su Ping had an indescribable feeling.
The more complex energy orientation he had just thought of, which might exist in the Five Elements' mutual generation and restraint, he hadn't had the chance to try it yet, but over six hundred and thirteen years ago, a noblewoman from a powerful family had already completed it.
At this very moment, Su Ping felt his soul and his mind transcending time, merging with a woman from six hundred and thirteen years ago.
However, at this moment, on the two diagrams, after perfectly overlapping for several minutes, on the unknown material paper, a row of graceful calligraphy slowly appeared.
