Chapter 588: Chapter 588: Yang Jian, Your Yang Family’s Judgment Is Lacking

Soon, the three of them arrived at the Cultivation Method Area.

The Old Dragon King handed the Thunder Attribute Techniques he had just found to Cheng Yuan. "Xiaoyuan, these are the best Thunder Attribute Techniques I could find in the Yang Family Treasury."

Cheng Yuan flipped through a few pages, a disappointed expression on his face.

In truth, these few Thunder Attribute Techniques weren’t bad at all; they were definitely no weaker than the Wang Family’s Celestial King Formula.

Unfortunately, Cheng Yuan’s standards and cultivation had improved by countless folds, and he now looked down on these techniques.

Seeing Cheng Yuan shake his head, the Old Dragon King handed the *Yang Family Spear Technique* to him.

"This is the Yang Family’s ultimate technique, the *Yang Family Spear Technique*. What do you think?"

The *Yang Family Spear Technique* was far stronger than the *Celestial King Formula* and much better than the other Thunder Attribute Techniques, but Cheng Yuan still looked down on it.

After all, he had already mastered the Mystical Technique of the Yang Family Spear Technique—the Dragon Spear.

Looking at the *Yang Family Spear Technique* now, it just seemed a bit weak.

Just as Cheng Yuan was about to put the *Yang Family Spear Technique* back on the shelf, the figures of Hu Yidao and Zhu Song suddenly appeared in his mind.

’The Hu and Zhu Families’ techniques are too weak. Maybe I can create some techniques for them?’

Cheng Yuan began to seriously read the *Yang Family Spear Technique*. Soon, he had committed it to memory. Then, based on the Yang Family Spear Technique, he created a saber technique and a swordsmanship style.

Cheng Yuan named them the *Hu Family Saber Technique* and the *Zhu Family Swordsmanship*.

Cheng Yuan put the *Yang Family Spear Technique* away, then turned his head and asked, "Junior Martial Uncle Yang, does your Jinling Yang Family have any better Thunder Attribute Techniques?"

Yang Jian’s expression turned a little strange. "Well, there is one called the *Five Thunders Divine Skill*. It’s said to be a Saint Grade Technique passed down from Ancient Times! If you want it, I’ll go find it for you."

The Old Dragon King, who was standing to the side, mercilessly berated him, "Yang the Second, are you trying to swindle my disciple? Over a hundred disciples from your Jinling Yang Family have chosen to cultivate the *Five Thunders Divine Skill*. Seventy-one of them suffered cultivation deviation, and only one successfully became a Martial King! If you dare mention the *Five Thunders Divine Skill* again, you’ll have me to deal with!"

Cheng Yuan asked with great interest, "Master, if the *Five Thunders Divine Skill* is of such a high grade, why is it so difficult to cultivate? Is it because it has high requirements for one’s constitution?"

"The *Five Thunders Divine Skill* not only has high requirements for one’s constitution, but starting from the Grandmaster realm, every time you break through to a major realm, you have to be baptized in Divine Thunder of the corresponding attribute! In several hundred years, the Jinling Yang Family has only found two of the corresponding types of Divine Thunder!"

Yang Jian’s pupils contracted slightly. ’The Dragon Flame’s intelligence network is simply omnipresent!’

’Huangfu Yanyi even knows secrets like this!’

’Looks like I won’t be able to trick that little rascal Cheng Yuan after all!’

Yang Jian gave an awkward laugh. "I won’t mention it, I won’t mention it! You guys can look on your own!"

Cheng Yuan, however, was getting excited. The Celestial Witch Inheritance recorded many extremely dangerous, desperate lands, and in some of them, there were numerous records about Divine Thunder!

If Cheng Yuan’s strength were sufficient, he could definitely find the Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth Five Elements Divine Thunder!

The *Five Thunders Divine Skill* was a white elephant to the Jinling Yang Family, but for Cheng Yuan, it wasn’t a problem at all!

"Junior Martial Uncle Yang, could I trouble you to get the *Five Thunders Divine Skill* for me to see?"

Yang Jian was overjoyed. ’This little thief is quite curious! I hope he suffers cultivation deviation and dies while practicing!’

Yang Jian spread his hands at the Old Dragon King, adopting a ’don’t blame me for this’ posture. "Brother Huangfu, Cheng Yuan wants to see the *Five Thunders Divine Skill*. Should I give it to him or not?"

The Old Dragon King gave Cheng Yuan a deep look. ’Could it be? Does Xiaoyuan have a way to cultivate the *Five Thunders Divine Skill*?’

’The *Five Thunders Divine Skill* is an Ancient Divine Technique on par with the *Xuanyuan Divine Skill*. If Xiaoyuan can master it, his strength will advance by leaps and bounds.’

’It’s just that the cultivation requirements for this thing are far too demanding!’

To test Cheng Yuan, the Old Dragon King said in a deep voice, "Xiaoyuan, don’t you know Dragon Seeking and Qi Observation? Go ahead and look. If you can find the *Five Thunders Divine Skill*, I will permit you to cultivate it."

Cheng Yuan activated his Double Pupil and put on a show, raising his hands to form hand seals. He muttered incantations and paced around in circles, his feet tracing the steps of the Nine Palace Flying Stars.

Soon, Cheng Yuan spotted an astonishing amount of Spiritual Power atop one of the bookshelves!

This Spiritual Power was tens, even hundreds of times greater than that of the *Yang Family Spear Technique*!

Cheng Yuan pointed at the bookshelf. "Junior Martial Uncle Yang, if I’m not mistaken, the *Five Thunders Divine Skill* is on top of this shelf!"

Yang Jian gave Cheng Yuan a deep look. ’This kid really knows Dragon Seeking and Qi Observation! He actually found the *Five Thunders Divine Skill*!’

Yang Jian leaped up and retrieved an ancient book from the top of the bookshelf.

This ancient book was made of bone tablets.

Crooked oracle bone script was carved on them, along with some diagrams.

Because it hadn’t been touched in so long, the ancient book was covered in dust.

Yang Jian gently patted it, knocking the dust off before handing the ancient book to Cheng Yuan.

"This is the original manuscript of the *Five Thunders Divine Skill*. If you like it, you can take it with you."

Cheng Yuan held the ancient book, a satisfied smile on his face. "Even if I can’t cultivate this thing, I can sell it as an antique. It should fetch a sky-high price."

Having accepted the *Five Thunders Divine Skill*, Cheng Yuan was content and sought nothing more.

Well, the main reason was that his Jade Pendant Space was already filled with high-quality medicinal herbs, and he really couldn’t carry anything else.

Cheng Yuan followed Yang Jian on the tour of the Treasury with waning interest, until they reached the Spirit Stone Area. Only then did his spirits lift again!

On the shelves here were some Spirit Stones, as well as some promising-looking ores that might contain Spirit Stones.

Cheng Yuan swept his gaze over them. The purity of most of these Spirit Stones was relatively low; only three or four of them had decent Spiritual Power.

Cheng Yuan shook his head lightly, unimpressed.

Just as Cheng Yuan was about to turn and leave, his foot suddenly snagged on something. He subconsciously looked down and saw a ’waste stone’ lying on the ground.

To be precise, it was a ’waste stone’ that had been split in two.

Inside one half of the ’waste stone’ was a piece of Jade Marrow the size of a baby’s fist!

It was enough to refine several Magical Artifacts.

Cheng Yuan quickly scooped up that half of the ’waste stone’.

The Old Dragon King and Yang Jian were stunned.

The Old Dragon King kindly reminded him, "Xiaoyuan, what do you want that broken thing for? It’s already been cut in two—it was a bust! There are no Spirit Stones inside."

Cheng Yuan grinned. "Master, it’s true there are no Spirit Stones in this rock, only a small piece of Spirit Stone essence—Jade Marrow!"

Jade Marrow?

The Old Dragon King didn’t quite believe Cheng Yuan, but as Cheng Yuan’s master, he didn’t voice his doubts.

Yang Jian, however, had no such reservations. He said coolly, "I have a strong foundation in stone gambling. Judging from the cut surface of this waste stone, its core is pure rock. It’s absolutely a waste stone! How could it possibly contain Jade Marrow? The world of stone gambling is a deep and treacherous one! Sometimes, even I make mistakes. Cheng Yuan, you should just save your energy..."

Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Yuan suddenly whipped out his Broken Blade and viciously slashed down!

SHLICK!

A large chunk was sliced off the ’waste stone’, revealing a piece of translucent, crystalline Jade Flesh!

An astonishing wave of Spiritual Power spread out!

The Old Dragon King immediately grew excited, shooting a gloating look at Yang Jian!

"What pure energy fluctuations! This is definitely Spirit Stone essence—Jade Marrow, without a doubt! Yang the Second, your Yang Family’s judgment is really lacking! To think you’d just toss a treasure like this on the ground."
