Immortality is above

Chapter 8 8: Fragments of the Book of Heaven, the Law of Five Elements
  The origin of the fragments of the Heavenly Book is mysterious. According to ancient legends, it coexists with the heaven and earth, so every fragment of the Heavenly Book contains some kind of law.

There is another saying that the Book of Heaven was originally a complete book, but due to a huge change, it fell into pieces and was torn into unknown fragments, scattered in the world...

For thousands of years, countless immortal cultivators have been diligently searching for these fragments of the Book of Heaven, and regard them as an immortal destiny that can be encountered but not sought.

However, this matter involves the secrets of the great road, and ordinary monks and low-level demons do not know about it. Even if they obtain it, they will use it as treasure fragments.

When Chen Liubai learned about this, he learned a lot from the mountain gate.

In fact, after so many years, most of the fragments of the Heavenly Book have been owned, and only a few are left outside.

Now, Chen Liubai got this piece, which is half the size of a book page and in excellent condition. How can he not be overjoyed or even lose his temper?
  Fortunately, he had a good temperament and quickly suppressed his inner excitement. After he got home, he studied it carefully to see which kind of great law was contained in this fragment of the heavenly book.

It was late at night and everything was quiet. Except for lanterns and torches lit in a few places in the huge Chenjiaji, the rest of the place was completely dark.

In the dark room, a heavy breathing sound suddenly came out. Chen Liubai opened his eyes wide with a look of ecstasy.

I had made some guesses before. After all, I had seen the fox demon with the fragment of the Heavenly Book perform extraordinary escape skills.

Now it's finally confirmed.

What this fragment contains is one of the nine laws: the law of the five elements.

The five elements of metal, wood, water, earth, and fire are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, and thus the Five Elements Escape Technique is derived. One of the techniques is highly talked about among the people in the market.

"Invisibility"!
  This technique is based on the Five Elements Escape Technique.

There is another spell that is even more popular, called "The Midas Turning into Gold";
  All in all, as long as you understand and master the Five Elements Law, you can learn various techniques within the entire Five Elements category.

Although it is only a fragment of the Heavenly Book and the rules are not complete, only about half of the content is available at most, but it is already extremely impressive.

The power of supernatural powers is immeasurable.

At this moment, Chen Liubai really felt like he had been hit by a pie in the sky.

This kind of luck can be called "natural selection".

Thinking about it carefully, he has been very lucky since traveling to this big world:
  I spend my daily life collecting money, and the young girls I meet on the walk are all pretty...

Being admitted as a scholar at the age of fourteen is also a sign of great fortune.

As for meeting a mysterious old man and eating flat peaches, let alone that, it is a one-in-a-million chance.

Until he failed to cultivate immortality and was kicked out.

The elder of Shanmen said, "It's a pity that I missed the opportunity"...

Chen Liubai thought that his good luck had come to an end and had been used up.

However, when I went back home from the mountain and killed demons on the way, I got this fragment of the heavenly book again.

All things considered, "luck" can no longer be used to explain it.

It was as if it was destined somewhere, just waiting for him to take it.

Chen Liubai couldn't figure out what was going on.

Maybe, probably, maybe...

Every time traveler is a chosen one.

Sometimes, he is quite confident. Otherwise, when I was young, I would not have recklessly thought about the dragon-slaying sword used to dig the Seven-Star Stone Arch Bridge, imagining that it was a magical weapon.

And they take it for granted that the magic weapon should shed blood to recognize its master.

The past is past, people should look forward.

With the fragments of the Book of Heaven in hand, the laws of the Great Dao seem to be within reach, but it is not easy to master them. It requires a long-lasting and hard learning process.

But it doesn't matter. What Chen Liubai can endure most is loneliness. He is not afraid of hardship, let alone tiredness.

Before that, he could use the existence of the fragments of the Heavenly Book to activate the crude Five Elements Escape Technique, as well as some other spells. Although I only have the skin of it, it is already quite practical in this mortal world.

For example, the low-level fox demon who was incompetent was able to escape from Chen Liubai twice with the help of the power of the broken scroll. Finally, in the county government hall, Chen Liubai unexpectedly used a holding talisman to capture it. .

That amulet is a very good thing, it’s just one piece.

There are not many Yangyuan Pills left.

……

Whoa whoa!
  The rooster crows, the east turns white, and before you know it, it's dawn.

In order to study the fragments of the Heavenly Book, Chen Liubai stayed up all night and consumed a lot of mental energy. When he walked out of the room and came outside.

Mother Chen saw the dark circles under his eyes and the pale and haggard look on his face, and immediately asked with concern: "San'er, didn't you sleep well last night? Why do you look so tired? Are you sick?"

Chen Liubai replied: "I'm fine... maybe I'm not used to it. Well, what do you want for breakfast?"

"I'm going to make porridge and some pickles."

"Just plain porridge and pickled vegetables? Dad is weak and needs to eat better."

When Chen Liushan heard this, he couldn't help but muttered: "Who doesn't know how to eat well? But with the situation at home, it's thanks to you that we have porridge in the morning."

To tell the truth, before Chen Liubai came back, he had eaten thick flour steamed buns for breakfast, which were dry and hard.

Chen Liubai took out a large bunch of money and handed it over: "Brother, go buy some delicious food and come back."

Seeing such a large string of money, at least hundreds of dollars, Chen Liushan was stunned. He didn't know whether to accept it or not.

Chen's mother said hurriedly: "San'er, it's not easy for you to save money as you work hard outside. You should save it to marry a wife."

Chen Liubai smiled and said: "I have been outside these years. Although I have not become an immortal, I have learned martial arts from others and have the ability to make money."

"You know martial arts?"

Chen Liushan looked at it doubtfully, but couldn't tell that there was something powerful about Lao San.

"If I didn't know martial arts, I would have died outside... Brother, go buy something to eat. When you come back, I have something to tell you."

"okay."

If you are willing to spend money, breakfast will be much richer.

However, in Chen Liubai's eyes, this "richness" was just a mediocre meal.

But he doesn't dislike it either. Once he comes back, everything will be fine. There is almost as much meat and bones of a tiger demon stored in the pot and sky bag on his waist.

Take any piece out and it will be a great supplement.

As for the gold and silver treasures, they are almost countless, so there is no need to worry about spending money.

After breakfast, the two brothers came to the room.

Chen Liubai suddenly took out a piece of silver and said, "Brother, thank you for taking care of my two elders at home these years. It's hard work."

Looking at the white ingot of silver, which amounted to about five taels, Chen Liushan swallowed his saliva: "For me?"

"A man can't be without money, so just use it."

It was stuffed directly into his hand.

Holding the hard and real money in his hand, Chen Liushan was surprised and happy, and asked: "Lao San, have you really made money?"

"Don't talk about this outside."

Chen Liubai chuckled, without further explanation, and turned to ask: "Brother, what's wrong with your legs?"
