Chapter 109 Fifth-Order Rebirth Record

Chapter 110 Fifth-Order Rebirth Record

Wang Ling acted swiftly, and within just five days, the transactions for the five shops were completed, earning Lin Qing 15,000 taels of silver.

The Soul Suppression Division immediately sent someone to deliver fifteen silver notes worth a thousand taels of silver to Lin Qing. No matter how calm Lin Qing was, he could not hide his overwhelming joy at suddenly receiving such a large sum of money.

However, when he saw on the panel that advancing to the fifth level of the Rebirth Record would require 10,000 taels of silver plus five elemental spiritual items, his joy was quickly diminished.

"The Record of Rebirth is the foundation for my growth, and I must upgrade it." Lin Qing immediately went to the treasury and exchanged all ten silver notes for gold.

Afterwards, he returned home with the gold and immediately went to the Golden Treasure Pavilion to buy five elemental spirit items.

The so-called Five Elements Spiritual Objects refer to rare and precious treasures that possess the five attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. These objects are frequently used in the forging of divine weapons.

When Lin Qing arrived at Jinbaoge, Manager Wang was the first to greet him, his face still beaming with a kind smile and his attitude incredibly warm.

"Lord Lin, I heard the other day that you killed Song Heilong. It was a great relief. Truly, heroes emerge from among the young!" Steward Wang said with a smile.

"Manager Wang is joking. It's just killing a fugitive, nothing to worry about," Lin Qing said calmly.

"Song Heilong is the leader of the Black Dragon Gang, the largest gang in the prefecture. He is a master of the Dan Jin skill. Lord Lin is only twenty years old and he was able to kill him. He has a bright future. No wonder he was appreciated by Lord Wang Ling and became a Jinling constable."

Manager Wang continued.

"It's just good luck. Manager Wang, do you have any Five Elements spiritual items in the pavilion?" Lin Qing asked.

"Yes, my Golden Treasure Pavilion has all kinds of rare treasures. The five elements spiritual objects are generally used for blacksmithing and weapon forging. They are diverse in type and quality. I wonder what Lin Qing specifically needs?" Manager Wang asked.

"Hmm, bring out some low-quality Five Elements spiritual items for me to take a look," Lin Qing said.

He didn't know exactly what five elements spiritual items the Rebirth Record required. Naturally, the cheaper the better, provided the requirements were met. After all, he only had a little over six thousand taels of silver, which seemed like a lot, but some things were too expensive. Spending it freely wouldn't be enough.

"Alright, Lord Lin, please wait a moment!"

Before long, Steward Wang ordered his men to bring over thirty kinds of spiritual items representing the five elements.

Every time Lin Qing picked up something, Steward Wang would explain what it was and how much silver it cost, while the Record of Rebirth would also provide a response.

"This is Tiankui Gold. This piece costs more than seven hundred taels of silver and is an important material for forging swords."

Lin Qing held it in his hand and weighed it in his hand. A message appeared before his eyes.

"Insufficient gold content, does not meet requirements!"

Lin Qing then picked up another piece of light blue metal next to him, and Steward Wang explained, "This is Azure Meteorite Gold, and this small piece costs 1,100 taels of silver."

"Meets the requirements, can be absorbed." The Record of Rebirth immediately provided feedback.

So, following this method, Lin Qing quickly selected the five elemental spirit items he needed. Even though Steward Wang gave him a 10% discount, and even though he carefully selected and put together the cheapest set, it still cost him 4,300 taels of silver.

Back home, Lin Qing was filled with emotion, feeling that money was flowing away like water. The 15,000 taels of silver he had just received were gone in the blink of an eye.

However, this money has to be spent.

As he placed thousands of taels of silver and five elemental spirits on the table in front of him, a message immediately appeared before his eyes.

"Sufficient amounts of common gold and silver items and spiritual objects of the five elements have been detected, meeting the requirements for upgrading the Golden Finger. Upgrade?"

"upgrade!"

In an instant, all the items in front of Lin Qing vanished into thin air, and the Rebirth Record level on the panel increased to level 5.

"The Fifth-Order Rebirth Record allows you to equip five martial arts skills simultaneously, shortens the time for skill replacement to one hour, obtains information about corpses within a 500-step range, and senses the location of corpses within a 3,000-step range."

The next instant, Lin Qing suddenly felt a strong attraction coming from the southeast, which was the direction of the crematorium compound.

A hint of joy flashed in his eyes: "I see. Within a range of three thousand steps, I will sense any corpse in any direction that can replicate martial arts techniques. The more corpses there are, the higher the martial arts level before death, the stronger the sense will be."

"In this way, the difficulty for me to find the corpse of that mysterious expert in the Blood Valley Forbidden Land will be greatly reduced."

"In addition, the number of martial arts skills that can be equipped has been increased to five, which allows me to combine martial arts skills more flexibly. It's just a pity that there are still too few talent fighting techniques that can be equipped," Lin Qing thought to himself.

This is because the Rebirth Record is too powerful, and his leveling speed is too fast. He simply doesn't have time to practice combat techniques. The Tathagata Fist Scripture in his hand has already consumed almost all of his time.

At this moment, Lin Qing had a sudden thought and noticed that the conditions required to advance to the next level of the Rebirth Record were a full 50,000 taels of silver, plus four kinds of high-quality exotic beast bones.

"Fifty thousand taels!" Lin Qing clicked his tongue in amazement. "We still have to find ways to make money. Relying solely on the silver issued by the Soul Suppression Division, our cheat system will never be able to upgrade any further."

.——

For the next period of time, Lin Qing stayed at the Soul Suppression Division and rarely went out.

While collecting corpses and accumulating strength, he also studied the Tathagata Fist Manual and the Flying Swan Technique. He practiced diligently from morning till night every day, never slacking off, and his strength rapidly increased.

Two and a half months passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Lin Qing followed Wang Ling to the entrance of the Blood Valley Forbidden Area again.

"Give it a try. This time, I should be able to break through seven hundred steps," Wang Ling said slowly.

This was the first time in over fifty days that he had brought Lin Qing here, because after entering the Core Formation stage, the speed at which a martial artist's strength increases would become very slow.

It takes a normal person more than ten years to go from the initial stage of the Dan Jin (Bao Dan Jin) to its perfection. If one has outstanding talent, it can be shortened to five or six years.

Lin Qing was exceptionally talented, but he figured it would take at least two years.

While he was pondering, Lin Qing had already stepped into the Blood Valley. He walked very fast, covering five hundred steps in three to five breaths, and then continued forward.

Blood-soaked corpses occasionally appeared, but he easily smashed them all with a single punch.

Five hundred, six hundred, seven hundred, eight hundred—Lin Qing kept running forward, taking a thousand steps, until he finally felt a strong pain.

"If I continue forward, I can take at least two hundred more steps, but a thousand steps is still not my current limit," Lin Qingjing pondered.

His gaze sharpened as he looked southeast, and suddenly he felt an extremely strong sensation, as if a force was pulling him in that direction.

He understood that there was a powerful martial artist's corpse in this direction, which made his heart burn with excitement.

But in the next instant, the direction from which the sensation came suddenly changed, shifting from southeast to northeast.

"Huh? What's going on?" Lin Qing's heart skipped a beat. "Could this corpse be moving?"

He stared intently ahead, trying to figure it out, but the white fog was thick and swirling, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

Suddenly, the corpse changed position again, this time to the northwest.

Lin Qing thus confirmed that the corpse could indeed move.

"A great secret must be hidden deep within the Blood Valley Forbidden Land. It won't be long before I uncover it completely!"

Lin Qing did not continue forward, but turned around and returned the way he came.
