Traversing the path of life and death

Chapter Thirteen: Spirit Cultivation Techniques

Lin Yu has been cultivating for more than three years and has reached the fifth level of the Body Solidification Realm. Such speed is reasonable. During these three years, he has been in pain every day, but he has persevered every day, challenging one limit after another, breaking through his own shackles, and seeking to improve his strength.

For three years, Lin Yu lived a monotonous life, going back and forth between rest and cultivation. It was tedious and boring, but Lin Yu enjoyed the time that cultivation brought him. These days also brought Lin Yu a tremendous transformation.

The Lin family members seemed to have long forgotten Lin Yu's existence. After all, Lin Yu started his daily cultivation before dawn and returned to his hut late at night, by which time the Lin family members were already asleep, so there was no chance for them to meet. Even if they had the chance to see Lin Yu, they would leave in a hurry.

As the saying goes, "Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast." It's unclear which servant of the Lin family accidentally witnessed the duel between Lin Yang and Lin Yu, but they spread the word about their battle everywhere. Lin Yang, with his second-level Solid Body Realm strength, fought against Lin Yu, who had never cultivated. Both of them used all their skills and displayed their full strength. In the end, Lin Yang fled in defeat, which left the Lin family members in disbelief.

Every young member of the Lin family hoped to meet Lin Yu and have a chance to fight him, but Lin Yu seemed to have vanished into thin air, disappearing from people's sight.

The Lin Family Cultivation Techniques Pavilion is located in the Lin Family Estate. Shaped like an ancient pagoda, it stands several hundred meters tall. Four ferocious wild beasts are situated at the four corners of the pavilion, exuding a strong aura of savagery. The entrance to the pavilion is ten zhang above the ground, giving it an unapproachable feel. On both sides, there is a huge rock, divided into three sections, each about three zhang long. These are the steps to enter the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion, but these steps are really...

The Cultivation Techniques Pavilion is open to every member of the Lin family, and each person can receive a cultivation technique jade slip once. This jade slip is only for spiritual cultivators, but most of the Lin family members are body cultivators and very few cultivate spiritual techniques. Few people enter the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion, and the area in front of the door is deserted.

A young man with long black hair appeared in front of a certain cultivation technique pavilion. His handsome face was full of charm. He wore a white robe that clung tightly to his body. His right hand was tightly stroking the back of his head, as if he was thinking about something.

The young man was Lin Yu, who had come to the Cultivation Pavilion. After reaching the fifth level of the Body Solidification Realm, Elder Wu did not rush to let Lin Yu cultivate. Instead, he had him comprehend the elements of the outside world every day. After more than ten days of this, Lin Yu was able to relax completely, both physically and mentally.

Upon arriving here, Lin Yu followed Elder Wu's instructions. "Teacher, we've arrived at the Cultivation Technique Pavilion," Lin Yu said.

"Go in," came the old shaman's aged voice.

"Lin Yu, it's been a long time!" Lin Yu was about to climb up when the sudden voice interrupted his steps, causing him to turn back.

Looking at the person in front of him, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. This person was none other than Lin Yu's fourth uncle, Lin Qingshan.

Wearing a long blue robe, his two sword-like eyebrows were etched on his resolute face. At this moment, his face was full of smiles, his hands behind his back, looking at Lin Yu.

"Fourth Uncle, what brings you here?" Lin Yu asked Lin Qingshan apologetically.

“I came to this cultivation technique pavilion to find a cultivation technique. By the way, kid, a year ago I heard from your second uncle that you beat up his kid who was at the second level of the Body Solidification Realm, right?” Lin Qingshan asked.

Hearing what his fourth uncle said, Lin Yu was shocked. He had thought that only the two of them knew about it, but he didn't expect that the truth would eventually come out and others would find out. And trouble followed, just like now.

Lin Yu did not deny it, but nodded heavily and said, "Yes."

When Lin Qingshan heard Lin Yu admit it, he was overjoyed and then asked, "Tell me quickly how you beat him up. At that time, his strength had reached the second level of Body Solidification, and he also knew some mediocre combat skills. How did you do it?"

Lin Yu said calmly to Lin Qingshan, "At that time, I had also reached the second level of Body Solidification."

Hearing this, Lin Qingshan was shocked. At that time, Lin Yang and Lin Feng, who were about the same age as Lin Yu, had only reached the second level of the Solid Body Realm. It was indeed a bit unbelievable that Lin Yu, who was of the Five Attributes Realm, could also reach it.

Then Lin Qingshan anxiously asked Lin Yu, "What is your strength now?"

Lin Yu did not inform his fourth uncle that he had reached the fifth level of the Body Solidification Realm, but instead concealed the fact that he was still at the second level of the Body Solidification Realm.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingshan frowned and changed the subject, asking instead, "Did you come here today for something?"

Lin Yu pointed to the cultivation technique pavilion and said, "I've come here to pick out a cultivation technique."

"Do you intend to become a spiritual cultivator?" Lin Qingshan had assumed Lin Yu was a body cultivator, but he hadn't expected him to come to the cultivation technique pavilion to select a cultivation technique. At this moment, Lin Yu gave Lin Qingshan a mysterious feeling.

Lin Yu was puzzled by his fourth uncle's words but remained silent. Seeing that Lin Yu didn't speak, Lin Qingshan stopped asking and said to him, "Let's go in together." He then strode into the cultivation technique pavilion.

Seeing Lin Qingshan enter so easily, Lin Yu, who was on the ground, became curious about his strength. He then used the strength in his legs to bounce twice on the boulder and arrived inside the cultivation technique pavilion.

"The cultivation technique pavilion is divided into six floors. The cultivation techniques on each floor are scattered. The cultivation techniques in the jade slips are divided into five elements: metal, fire, and earth, and are located on the first to fifth floors. The sixth floor contains multiple elements. Take a look first," Lin Yu's fourth uncle said before striding upstairs.

"Teacher, why did you send me here? Why did Fourth Uncle just say I wanted to become a spiritual cultivator?" A series of questions filled Lin Yu's mind.

“I brought you here because, as your fourth uncle said, I want you to become a spiritual cultivator. However, to become a spiritual cultivator, you need a spiritual cultivation technique. So I brought you here so that you can learn about spiritual cultivation techniques and deepen your understanding of them. Take a look at these techniques first, but remember not to learn them,” Elder Wu said.

Upon hearing his teacher's words, Lin Yu began examining the various jade slips, remaining steadfast in his belief in his teacher's words.

Jade slips were scattered about, some emitting a faint light, others shrouded in golden aura. Lin Yu casually picked up a jade slip, and a vast amount of information flooded into his mind.

The Vajra Mantra integrates external metal elements into one's body, enhancing one's defense. Combined with combat techniques, it possesses a domineering offensive power. When refined to its extreme, defense and offense are unified. Those who cultivate this technique must possess metal...

The "Jade Gold Transformation" technique gathers a large amount of gold element, condensing it to its extreme. Relying on this instantaneous burst, it transforms into countless pieces of burning gold, possessing powerful penetrating force. Cultivating this technique requires possessing metal...

The first layer is entirely made of metal, including techniques such as the "Overlord's Golden Manual" and the "Golden Transformation Manual".
