Mysterious Sky Longevity Art! Invisible Escape Technique!

"Follow me in!"

Old Monster Qiong strode inside first, with Han Feng close behind.

The space on the Fifth Layer was much smaller than the floors below, with far fewer bookshelves.

There were only about a hundred or so Cultivation Technique Jade Slips up here, but each one radiated a spiritual light far denser than those downstairs.

"These techniques are all the finest of my Moongazing Sect. Every single one has its unique merits. Take your time picking, kid—no need to hold back."

Old Monster Qiong released his grip, clasped his hands behind his back, putting on an air of "this old man is generous."

Han Feng's heart burned with excitement.

This place—ordinary Foundation Establishment disciples probably didn't even have the right to set foot here.

Yet he could browse and choose freely.

So this was the benefit of having a powerful backer?

He suppressed his surging emotions and began to examine them carefully.

Based on his knowledge of the original story, cultivation techniques could be roughly divided into three categories.

The first type had average or even slow cultivation speed.

But the divine abilities and secret arts they came with were immensely powerful, offering many ways to defeat enemies, often unleashing unexpected might in battle.

The second type was the opposite—these techniques boosted Magic Power remarkably fast, with swift cultivation progress, but their divine abilities were weak.

They had almost no strong means of self-defense.

The third type was the so-called top-tier technique!

These techniques not only cultivated at lightning speed but also came with extraordinary divine abilities.

However, their cultivation conditions were extremely harsh, with many restrictions.

Han Feng's goal was naturally the third type.

He went through them one by one, memorizing the introductions and limitations of each technique.

Just Then, a fragrant breeze swept in, and Zhou Qingning's figure quietly appeared on the Fifth Layer.

She glanced at Han Feng, who was selecting a technique, then at Old Monster Qiong, who wore a smug expression, and said coolly, "Senior Brother Qiong certainly moves fast."

Clearly, Old Monster Qiong could bring Han Feng here, and she had the same right—she'd just been beaten to it.

"Naturally. When it comes to taking disciples, the early bird gets the worm!" Old Monster Qiong chuckled, showing no sign of feeling awkward.

Zhou Qingning ignored him and focused her attention on Han Feng.

Han Feng paid no mind to the silent rivalry between the two Core Formation seniors. His attention was completely drawn to a cyan Jade Slip.

"Mysterious Sky Longevity Art!"

He picked up the Jade Slip, extended his divine sense into it, and carefully read the technique's introduction.

This was a top-tier Wood Attribute cultivation technique!

Cultivating this art would greatly enhance a cultivator's physical recovery, and their Physical Body's defense would be far stronger than peers at the same level.

Most importantly, this technique could extend one's lifespan to a certain degree, significantly boosting the cultivator's longevity!

Of course, the restrictions were considerable.

Once Core Formation was reached, subsequent cultivation would require a massive amount of Wood Essence as an aid, or it would be very difficult to make progress.

But what Han Feng valued wasn't the lifespan boost at all—it was a heaven-defying divine ability that came with this technique!

A Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator could condense their life essence into a "Wood Origin Bead" within their dantian.

This thing was like a bomb that could be detonated at any time. In battle, one could instantly consume lifespan to activate the Wood Origin Bead, unleashing a supreme strike with power comparable to a cultivator's full-strength self-destruction!

If one's lifespan was nearly exhausted, the bead could be dissolved to return the consumed life essence, preventing an early death from old age.

For other cultivators, this divine ability might be a last resort, not to be used lightly.

But for Han Feng, it was practically tailor-made!

His lifespan could be enhanced through Attribute Addition!

As long as he had enough Attribute Points, he wouldn't fear this kind of consumption at all. He could use this desperate move as a regular tactic!

"Two seniors, I've made my choice!"

Han Feng walked up to them, holding the cyan Jade Slip.

"Mysterious Sky Longevity Art?"

Old Monster Qiong and Zhou Qingning were both surprised by his choice.

"This technique focuses on the path of nurturing life. Its combat ability isn't the most outstanding among techniques of the same level, but it excels in granting a long lifespan," Old Monster Qiong commented.

"It's fine. A longer life is a good thing."

He suddenly sighed, his expression turning somewhat complex. "I hope you won't end up like me in the future, stuck at Core Formation."

Han Feng's heart stirred. This Old Monster Qiong was probably nearing the end of his lifespan.

"Han Feng, I have two bottles of pills here. Keep them well—they'll shorten the time you need to reach Foundation Establishment Middle Stage considerably."

Zhou Qingning's jade-like hand turned over, producing two pristine white porcelain bottles.

Pills gifted by a Late Core Formation cultivator!

Han Feng's heart leaped with joy as he quickly took them and bowed in thanks: "Thank you, Senior Zhou!"

Though he had Thousand Year Spirit Medicines on hand, he still couldn't refine pills himself.

Having a treasure mountain he couldn't use, these two bottles of pills were a timely relief for his pressing need.

"Your disciple would also like to pick a few more mid-grade spells..." Han Feng pressed his luck.

"Bite off more than you can chew!" Old Monster Qiong's eyes widened. "Spell cultivation isn't urgent. Focus on mastering this Wood Escape Technique first!"

With that, he tossed over a cyan Jade Slip.

"Fine..."

Han Feng could only take it helplessly.

This Old Monster Qiong—what he gave was certainly practical.
