In the following time, in the strange space of Scripture Depository, sounds of breaking through the air and occasional low sighs came one after another.

Five people, including Jiang Donghua, began to make tentative moves.

Zhao Ming moved and grabbed a light ball that exuded a thick earthy yellow light. He held it heavily and the light dispersed, revealing a Dou Technique scroll named <Stone Protection Strength>. He felt it briefly and shook his head in disappointment.

"Profound-tier High Grade, although the defense is strong, it is too bulky and cannot match my skills."

Letting go, the light ball wrapped around the scroll and submerged into the space wall again.

Wang Han spotted a cyan light group with a sharp aura and grabbed it out. Inside was a roll of Green Jade Slip<Gale Stab> as thin as a cicada's wings. He felt it and spat.

"Tsk, the name is bluffing, it's just Dou Technique's movement aid of Mysterious-grade Mid-tier, useless!"

The light group returns to the cycle again.

Lin Xiu and Bai Ling also took action once or twice each, and what they got were either Mysterious-grade Mid-tier's skills with different attributes, or some off-beat Dou Technique's that seemed strange but not very practical. They all frowned and let go.

"If you want to accurately grasp the high-level skills that suit you in this group of tens of thousands of lights, the probability is too low."

Lin Xiu couldn't help but sigh, his eyes swept over the densely packed light groups that almost filled his field of vision, and he felt powerless.

This is simply more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack, and it all depends on illusory luck.

Bai Ling also curled her lips, obviously very dissatisfied with the previous harvest, but her temper was more stubborn, and she searched more intently.

Just when the atmosphere was a bit dull and anxious, Jiang Donghua, who had been standing quietly in his place, seemingly observing casually, but actually using the subtle sense of the jade slip in his arms to constantly eliminate wrong options, his eyes suddenly condensed!

The jade slip in his Storage Ring suddenly became hot at a certain moment, and a strong pulling feeling pointed to an inconspicuous light group on the right front, only the size of a fist, exuding a faint chaotic light!

That's it now!

Without any hesitation, Jiang Donghua's figure moved!

Fast! Fast to the extreme!

Like a bolt of cold electricity splitting open the space, everyone's eyes were blurred, and they didn't even see clearly how he moved. The chaotic light ball was already firmly grasped in his hands!

His sudden and violent movements, as well as his determination to win, instantly attracted the attention of the other four people present!

"Huh?!"

Zhao Ming's eyes flashed.

"Caught something good?"

Wang Han also immediately stopped moving and stared closely at Jiang Donghua's hand.

Even Bai Ling and Lin Xiu looked over subconsciously, with the same thought in their hearts.

With Jiang Donghua's strength and vision, what he grabbed so decisively must be no small matter!

Could it be that Earth-grade cultivation technique appeared?

In an instant, several pairs of eyes were staring at Jiang Donghua's hand, curious, probing, and even with a hint of subtle jealousy, wanting to know what kind of amazing treasure he had obtained.

Under the gaze of everyone, Jiang Donghua pressed his palm hard, and the chaotic light was crushed by him and dissipated, revealing the treasure inside.

However, the next moment, everyone was stunned.

Even Jiang Donghua himself looked at the crystal in the palm of his hand, which was about the size of a baby's fist, was dark purple in color, contained majestic yet mixed energy, and was even a little uneven on the surface, and there was a moment of astonishment on his stern face.

This is not a skill scroll at all, nor is it a Dou Technique jade slip!

This is clearly a Magic Core from Sixth-order Demonic Beast!

Although Sixth-tier Magic Core itself is also valuable, containing powerful energy, it is a precious material for refining high-level elixirs, setting up powerful formations, and even driving certain puppets.

Jiang Donghua looked at the Magic Core in his hand that was still emitting powerful energy fluctuations, and then felt the jade slip in his arms that had cooled down rapidly, as if it had never been hot, and was speechless for a moment.

The first guideline given by the teacher pointed to this point?

He let go of his hand expressionlessly.

The Sixth-tier Magic Core was immediately re-wrapped by the chaotic light, turned into a ball of light, and melted back into the space barrier with a "whoosh", waiting for the next destined person who might be overjoyed because of it.

A bad start.

Even with Jiang Donghua's temperament, I also felt a little embarrassed and helpless.

It seems that even the radar given by the teacher is not foolproof. The mystery inside Scripture Depository seems to be more complicated than imagined.

Time passed by minute by second, and light groups were flying in the space, but the frequency of the five people's attacks slowed down significantly.

Jiang Donghua tried two more times. With the help of the jade slip's weak induction, the light group that was captured was still only Profound-tier High Grade's Fire attribute Dou Technique and a Fire attribute technique of the same grade.

Things should not be considered bad. If placed outside, it would be enough for ordinary Dou Ling and Dou Wang to fight for the top spot. But for Jiang Donghua, whose target is Earth-grade cultivation technique and who has already practiced good skills, these are meaningless. They can only let it go and let it return to the flow of light.

"It can't go on like this!"

The person who spoke this time was none other than Jiang Donghua himself.

His cold voice sounded in this strange space, breaking the long silence and the dull atmosphere of fighting alone.

The eyes of the other four people instantly focused on him.

Jiang Donghua glanced at Zhao Ming, Wang Han, Lin Xiu and Bai Ling, and his tone was calm but pointed to the core.

"Scripture Depository Although the opportunity is good, the variables are too great. Geniuses have entered this place over the years, but in the end due to bad luck, they gained nothing and returned in vain."

He paused, looked at the light groups that were speeding up and down, with irregular trajectories, and continued.

"There are only five of us here. Instead of running around like headless flies and relying solely on illusory luck, it's better to find another way."

"We each tell what attributes, types of skills or Dou Technique we want most. If anyone happens to meet what others need, they can take it and exchange it with each other, or at least have a clear goal. It is better than everyone blindly grabbing it, and in the end they may all gain little, or even return empty-handed."

This proposal is very realistic and very tempting, but it also involves an issue of trust and information exposure.

Speaking of your preferred direction is, to some extent, exposing your own trump cards and cultivation tendencies.

For a moment, Zhao Ming, Wang Han and others looked hesitant and wary, and looked at each other, but neither of them spoke immediately.

No one wants to expose their own needs first.

The scene fell into a brief silence, with only the faint sound of flying light balls breaking through the air.

Jiang Donghua had a clear view of their reactions and understood them clearly.

As the proposer and the strongest among the five, he naturally understood that someone needed to break the deadlock first.

His expression remained unchanged, he spoke calmly, and took the lead in stating his needs in a calm tone.

"I need a Fire attribute technique."

He concealed the specific requirements of the ground level, but the direction was very clear.
