Chapter 34 Five Elements Spells
Zhang Lin put the spirit stone into his storage bag, closed the shop door, and returned to the back room.
He sat by the window, took out the enhanced jade slip of the "Hundred Herbs Elixir Classic" from his storage bag, and pressed it to his forehead to study it carefully.
The foundation of second-grade alchemy is profound and extensive.
In the path of alchemy, every step—from controlling the heat and selecting ingredients to condensing the elixir and opening the furnace—requires careful attention.
The slightest mistake could ruin the elixir or even cause the furnace to explode.
After acquiring the skill of alchemy, Zhang Lin has not yet actually put it into practice.
"I need to find some time to refine a batch of pills and try it out."
Zhang Lin put down the jade slip, pondered for a moment, and then decided to put the matter aside for the time being.
Alchemy is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It requires a complete alchemical furnace, medicinal herbs, and charcoal fire, and more importantly, a calm and focused mind that cannot be distracted.
Now that the shop has just opened, I'm preoccupied with trivial matters and it's not a good time to practice alchemy.
There is another matter, however, that is more urgent.
Zhang Lin put down the jade slip and summoned the system light screen.
These days, although he is focused on the shop's affairs, he has never relaxed his efforts to hone his skills.
I have already gained a basic understanding of the Water Shield Technique, Metal Blade Technique, Earth Spike Technique, and Wood Vine Technique among the Five Elements Techniques.
The art of combat lies in adaptability.
The five elements generate and restrain each other. If one can master all five elements, one can act at will and deal with all kinds of situations during battles.
"system."
He silently recited the mantra, and a screen of light unfolded before his eyes.

Zhang Lin looked at the light screen and already had a plan in mind.
[Water Shield Technique, Tier 1 spell. Can be enhanced, consumes 12 spirit stones. Enhancement effect: Tier 3 spell, adds two random variations.]
"strengthen."
Twelve beams of spiritual light rose from the pile of spirit stones and flowed into Zhang Lin's brow.
A cool current of energy circulates through the meridians and eventually flows into the dantian.
Countless insights about the Water Shield Technique surfaced in my mind: the flow of water, the changes in water, the suppleness and the power of water.
What was originally a rudimentary spell of condensing water into a shield has now become profound and complex.
Zhang Lin opened his eyes and raised his hand again.
This time, what he condensed in his palm was no longer a three-foot-long water shield, but a thin layer of water curtain, forming a circle that covered an area of about a foot around his body.
[Water Shield - Tier 3]
Feature 1: Water Curtain: Condenses true qi into water to form a curtain, covering the entire body by about a foot, which can resist ranged attacks and has a defense power three times higher than that of the first-tier water shield.
Feature 2: Water Arrows: The water curtain can condense water arrows to counterattack, with arrows raining down and having extremely strong penetrating power.
Feature 3 - Water Dragon: The water curtain can transform into a water dragon, combining offense and defense. Wherever the water dragon passes, it can sweep away enemies.
With a thought, three water arrows suddenly condensed from the thin water curtain around Zhang Lin. The arrows were azure blue with cold light at the tips. With a whoosh, they flew out and embedded themselves in the courtyard wall, penetrating three inches into the brickwork.
He moved again, and a water dragon's head emerged from the water curtain. The dragon's head was ferocious, and its whiskers were swaying. With a spit, it spewed out a jet of water, blasting a hole in the stone railing of the well in the courtyard.
"Enhance the Golden Blade Technique".
Twelve more spirit stones transformed into spiritual light.
[Golden Blade Technique, Tier 3 spell. New random variations added: Armor Penetration, Greatsword.]
Zhang Lin raised his hand, and a golden light condensed in his palm, transforming into a three-foot-long golden blade with a blade as thin as a cicada's wing, gleaming with a chilling light.
[Golden Blade Technique - Tier 3]
Characteristic 1: Golden Blade: Condenses metal-type true energy into multiple sharp blades, unparalleled in sharpness. The more true energy output, the more Golden Blades are generated.
Feature 2 - Armor Penetration: Condenses a golden blade that can penetrate armor and ignore defenses.
Feature 3: Greatsword: The golden blade can transform into a giant sword over ten feet long, weighing as much as a thousand pounds, capable of cleaving through a city wall with a single strike.
With a thought, Zhang Lin summoned a giant golden sword, over ten feet long, which hovered above his head. Runes flowed across its blade, and the oppressive aura it emitted caused fine cracks to appear on the stone slabs in the courtyard.
He dismissed the greatsword.
"Earth Spike Technique, a first-tier technique, uses true qi to draw upon the earth's energy, causing stalagmites to emerge from the ground and attack the enemy by surprise."
Upon selecting the enhancement option, the twelve spirit stones transformed into spiritual light.
[Earth Spike Technique, Tier 3. New random variations: Earth Escape, Xuanhuang Great Hand.]
Zhang Lin closed his eyes to sense the newly added method, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
Earth Escape Technique – it's a life-saving skill.
[Earth Spike Technique - Tier 3]
Characteristic 1: Earth Spikes: Stirring up the earth's energy, stalagmites emerge from the ground, covering an area of three zhang in radius, the stalagmites are as sharp as spears.
Characteristic Two: Earth Escape: Can burrow into the soil and move stealthily, at a speed of 30% of walking speed, and can reach a depth of about 10 feet. The duration depends on the consumption of true energy.
Characteristic Three: Xuanhuang Giant Hand: Condenses earth-elemental true energy into a giant hand over ten feet long, capable of grabbing, striking, and seizing, with immense strength.
Zhang Lin walked to the open space in the courtyard, and with a thought, he swayed and disappeared into the soil.
The underground world was pitch black, and the soil pressed against his body, but he used earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape through the earth) to protect himself, and the soil parted to the sides like flowing water, allowing him to pass through.
He burrowed in the mud for a moment before emerging from the ground, his body spotless.
"Earth Release Technique... In a critical moment, this can be a lifesaver."
Zhang Lin was satisfied.
"Wood Vine Technique, a first-tier spell, uses true qi to generate wood-type spiritual power, which transforms into vines to entangle and bind the enemy."
After the enhancement, twelve more spirit stones transformed into spiritual light.
[Wood Vine Technique, Tier 3 spell. New random variations: Thorns, Absorption.]
[Wood Vine Technique - Tier 3]
Characteristic 1: Wood Vine: Promotes the growth of vines that entwine and bind enemies. The vines are tough and cannot be broken by those below the mid-stage of Qi Refining.
Characteristic Two: Thorns: Poisonous thorns grow on the vines; those who are pricked are poisoned, slowed down, and have their internal energy circulation obstructed.
Characteristic 3: Absorption: The vines can absorb the enemy's true energy and feed it back to the caster.
Zhang Lin raised his hand, and a stream of green spiritual energy surged from his palm and landed on the ground.
The ground cracked open, and several vines as thick as a thumb broke through the soil. The vines were covered with fine, poisonous thorns that gleamed with a faint green light under the moonlight.
With a thought, he vines wrapped around a blue stone in the courtyard, and the poisonous thorns pierced the stone, but nothing happened.
However, if the poison entangles flesh and blood, it will enter the meridians through the wound, obstructing the opponent's flow of true energy.
Even more frightening is the absorption property.
If the vines entangle an opponent, they can continuously draw upon the opponent's true energy and feed it back to the caster.
As the tide ebbs and flows, the more the opponent struggles, the weaker they become.
"What a brilliant wood and vine technique!"
Zhang Lin dispersed the vines, feeling extremely satisfied.
The Five Elements techniques are now complete.
Water Shield is primarily for defense, Golden Blade is primarily for offense, Earth Spike is primarily for control and survival, Wooden Vine is primarily for sustain and attrition, and Fireball is primarily for burst damage.
With all five elements present, mutually generating and restraining each other, there are no weaknesses when engaging in combat.
He sat cross-legged in the courtyard, counting the spirit stones he had consumed.
Each of the four techniques requires twelve spirit stones to enhance, totaling only forty-eight. If sold, they could fetch at least tens of thousands of spirit stones.
