Luo Ling took over Jade Slip from Qin Tiexin.

She did not investigate immediately, but first looked at the material of Jade Slip - red spiritual jade, with Flame-like natural lines on the surface, and a faint burning sensation in the tentacles. She recognized this jade material as "Fire Spirit Jade", which is usually used to burn fire attribute Cultivation Method, and can preserve spiritual power for a long time.

"Well preserved." Luo Ling commented, and then Divine Sense was inserted into Jade Slip.

The hall became quiet.

Qin Tiexin stood aside and waited. He could see Luo Ling's expression changing from calm to focused, her brows frowning slightly, and then slowly relaxing. Her fingers gently rubbed the surface of Jade Slip, as if she was feeling the flow of spiritual energy inside.

About twenty breaths passed before Luo Ling took back Divine Sense.

She opened her eyes and looked at Qin Tiexin, her expression much more serious than before.

""True Fire Instruction"." She spoke slowly, "For the fire attribute Cultivation Method, starting from the Qi Refinement Realm, you can practice all the way to Foundation Establishment Late Stage. The first three levels are Qi Refining chapters, and the last six levels are Foundation Establishment chapters. Each level has its corresponding Law Technique and application methods."

She paused and added, "The quality is very high."

Qin Tiexin is waiting for the following.

Luo Ling placed Jade Slip on the table and tapped his fingers on the table. "We Flowing Cloud Sect are famous for our weapon refining. Artifact Refining Hall's background is not bad, but the overall Cultivation Method library... is not very deep."

She looked at Qin Tiexin: "Most of the Cultivation Method in the sect were created by the ancestors of the past generations, or collected from the outside world. A complete Cultivation Method like this that can be cultivated all the way to Foundation Establishment Late Stage, especially a common but practical attribute like fire, is valuable."

Qin Tiexin said nothing.

Luo Ling continued, "Normally, when disciples go out to do tasks and enter secret realms, they sometimes get Cultivation Method, Law Artifact, and materials that they cannot use. You can choose to keep these things for yourself, or you can hand them over to the sect in exchange for Merit Points or Cultivation Resources."

She picked up Jade Slip and shook it: "This book "True Fire Instruction" is enough to exchange for a good reward."

Qin Tiexin was silent for a moment and then said, "The disciple will hand it over to the sect."

Luo Ling raised an eyebrow. "Why?"

"The disciple is Five Spirit Roots," Qin Tiexin said very directly, "This Cultivation Method is not suitable for me. Putting it in the sect can help more people."

After he finished speaking, he added, "And there is no shortage of disciples now Cultivation Method."

Luo Ling stared at him for two breaths and suddenly smiled.

"Good boy." She patted Qin Tiexin on the shoulder with considerable force, "It's good that you have this intention."

She took Jade Slip into her arms. "Then I will hand it over in your name. According to the rules, the sect will evaluate the value of Cultivation Method and give you a corresponding reward. Generally speaking, it is either Merit Points, Spirit Stone, or an opportunity to exchange for other resources."

Qin Tiexin nodded. "Follow Master's arrangements."

Luo Ling thought for a while, picked up a blank piece of Jade Slip from the table, and began to enter information into it. As she was recording, she said, "Merit Points, you are not short of it for the time being, and Spirit Stone, you also have a lot. I suggest you find a special opportunity."

"What chance?"

"Curios Pavilion." Luo Ling raised his head, "Have you heard of it?"

Qin Tiexin shook his head.

"That is a special place in the sect." Luo Ling explained, "It specializes in collecting those Law Artifacts and materials that are difficult to classify and have special functions, as well as some... rarer Cultivation Methods."

She paused. "Most of those Cultivation Method were obtained from secret realms, ruins or battlefields. Originally, Jade Slip had special restrictions and could not be copied and copied. So the sect put them in the Curios Pavilion. Disciples can use the resources they handed in to exchange for redemption qualifications and go in to choose."

"Can it only be exchanged by handing over resources?"

"Yes." Luo Ling nodded, "And there are restrictions. The quality of submission must be high. Many disciples don't get a chance to enter for several years."

She looked at Qin Tiexin: "The quality of your book "True Fire Instruction" is high enough. It should be no problem to be eligible to enter Curios Pavilion once."

Qin Tiexin Think for a moment.

He remembered the battle of Cao Mu. In the square filled with poisonous fog, he could only rely on Wind Fang Bracelet to barely contain him, and in the end he had to fight to get closer. If there had been better long-range means at that time, the battle might have been much easier.

"Master," he said, "This disciple wants to find some means of fighting the enemy from a distance."

Luo Ling's eyes lit up. "Have you got an idea?"

"Wind Fang Bracelet is very powerful, but the limitation is too great." Qin Tiexin touched the wolf fang bracelet on his wrist, "It takes time to activate, Wind Blade has a limited number, and recovery is slow. If we can find a more flexible and durable remote method..."

He didn't finish what he said, but his meaning was clear.

Luo Ling thought for a while and said, "There may indeed be something suitable in the Curios Pavilion. But the objects there are all kinds of strange and may not be exactly what you want. I suggest you go to the Library Pavilion first. Take a look at the second floor of, there should be a lot of long-range martial arts Jade Slip. If there are suitable ones, learn them first; if not, try your luck at the Curios Pavilion."

Qin Tiexin nodded. "Disciple understands."

"The redemption token I gave you last time has probably not been used yet, right? Tomorrow you go directly to the second floor of the Library Pavilion to find out if there are any suitable martial arts. The day after tomorrow, I should be able to get the redemption qualification for the Curios Pavilion. You can go to the Curios Pavilion to have a look."

"Thank you, Master." Qin Tiexin said with cupped hands.

Luo Ling waved his hand. "Okay, that's it for today. Go back and think about what is missing. There are many kinds of long-range means - flying swords, flying needles, darts, crossbows, Law Technique, talismans... You have to choose the one that suits you."

She paused and looked at Qin Tiexin: "Your advantage is that you are powerful and physically strong. But your shortcomings are also obvious - not fast enough, not agile enough, and not adaptable enough. When choosing long-range methods, you should either consider amplifying your strengths or how to circumvent your weaknesses."

Qin Tiexin Listen carefully.

"For example, flying swords," Luo Ling gave an example, "Require fine Divine Sense control and spiritual manipulation, and you may not be good at it; flying needles and darts require dexterity, so you have to work more on finesse; but if it requires strength, such as flying axes, it may be more suitable for you, but the accuracy may not be that good."

She stood up and patted Qin Tiexin on the shoulder. "Think about it for yourself. On the way to practice, the master can only point you in the direction, but you have to rely on yourself on how to go."

"Yes." Qin Tiexin bowed.

He turned around and walked out Heart-Forging Hall.

He did not return to cave abode immediately, but walked to the edge of the square and sat down on a stone pier.

He took Wind Fang Bracelet off his wrist.

The five wolf teeth lay quietly in the palm of the hand, with a warm green light glowing on the surface. After these few days of Nourishment, the Wind Blade consumed previously has been restored and can be activated again at any time.

But Qin Tiexin knows the limitations of this thing.

It takes time to activate - about half a breath. This half breath may determine life or death in a life-and-death fight. Moreover, after each activation, the spiritual power in the wolf's fang will be consumed and needs to be replenished and replenished. After all five wind blades are used up, it will take at least an hour to restore one.

It's barely enough to deal with enemies of Cao Mu's level. But what if the enemy is stronger, faster, and more dexterous?

He remembered the sparring session with Nangong Yao just now.

With Cloud Gauze Handkerchief's speed and toughness, if it were an enemy, it would be a question of whether Wind Fang Bracelet's Wind Blade could hit. Even if it hit, the opponent could use Law Artifact or Law Technique to block it.

Remote means are too weak.

Qin Tiexin grasped the mace string tightly and slowly released it.

He needs better means. Not this one-time and consumable, but something that can be used continuously and flexibly. It is best to cooperate with his strength advantage instead of relying solely on spiritual power.

Go to the Library Pavilion tomorrow to have a look.

Go to the Curios Pavilion the day after tomorrow.

You have to think carefully about what you need.

Qin Tiexin Close your eyes and start to adjust your breath.

However, the cold eyes of Cao Mu appeared in his mind involuntarily, the sound of the poisonous needle grazing his ear, the heavy breathing in Gravity Corridor, and the long three-breath wait before Sword Gang Talisman started.

If only there were better remote means...

He took a deep breath and suppressed these distracting thoughts.

Hold Five Phases Conversion Pearl and start practicing.

Adjust the condition to the best first.
