Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Earth Tunneling Skill

Next to the jade slips on the tray, there was a small booklet for each one.
It recorded the contents of the jade slips.
In the past, when Ping’er was not that familiar with He Song, she would only bring the booklets over.
Only when He Song decided what he wanted to buy, would Ping’er go and fetch the jade slip for him.
Not like now, where all the booklets and jade slips were taken out at once.
As such, it could be seen that Ping’er had quite a bit of trust in He Song.
If He Song were really an Evil Cultivator, just grabbing the jade slips and running, Ping’er would be blamed by the Foundation Establishment Master.
At that time, punishment would be inevitable.
He Song naturally understood this.
He also approved of Ping’er’s actions.
Picking up a small booklet at random, He Song began to look at it quickly.
“First, Light Body Skill, one of the basic skills, can increase walking speed, must-have for long-distance travel and escaping, worth ten spirit stones.”
“Second, Mountain Light Body Skill, a middle-grade technique, faster than Light Body Skill, essential for long-distance travel and escaping, worth fifty spirit stones.”
“Third, Earth Tunneling Skill, a high-quality technique, can tunnel into the ground after casting, travel at extreme speed underground, but be careful as it is easily countered by the Earthshaking Skill, worth one hundred spirit stones.”
“Fourth, Heavenly Cicada Light Body Skill, a high-quality technique, can briefly hover in the air after casting, travel at extremely fast speed, whether it’s for travel or escaping, it is one of the best techniques for Qi Refining stage practitioners, worth one hundred spirit stones.”
“Fifth… ”
Picking up and putting down the booklets inside the tray repeatedly several times,
He Song eventually finished reading all the booklets, having a general idea about these escape techniques.
He Song had already learned the Light Body Skill, which, although it wasn’t slow, wasn’t outrageously fast either, probably because it was only a basic skill.
As for the Mountain Light Body Skill,
According to the descriptions in the booklets, it originated from the Thick Earth Sect and was the most commonly used Light Body Skill among the
Qi-refining mid-stage outer disciples of the sect, its speed being very fast.
Although it was only a middle-grade technique, if it were fully used, it could even catch up to a Qi-refining late-stage cultivator using the Light Body Skill.
However, if a Qi-refining late-stage cultivator had also practiced the Mountain Light Body Skill, it would be a different story.
At the same time, because of its tier, the speed of the Mountain Light Body
Skill should be inferior to the high-quality Heavenly Cicada Light Body Skill.
Of course, the Mountain Light Body Skill was also cheaper than the Heavenly Cicada Light Body Skill.
Then there was the Earth Tunneling Skill.
Tunneling into the ground, traveling at an extremely fast speed underground.
According to the descriptions in the booklets, the speed of the Earth Tunneling Skill was very fast, not quite as fast as the Mountain Light Body Skill during underground travel, but not much slower either.
Moreover, since they were underground, if used with the Breath Concealment Formulas, it would be much safer under the condition that no one detected them, it could be considered a technique for quickly escaping silently.
Lastly, the Heavenly Cicada Light Body Skill.
The origins of this skill were unknown, as there was no record of it in the booklet.
However, its characteristic of allowing them to briefly hover in the air made this Heavenly Cicada Light Body Skill especially popular in the Spirit Skill Pavilion.
Cultivators were also human.
Especially Qi-refining practitioners.
For those who hadn’t stepped into the Foundation Establishment Stage and couldn’t practice the tunneling skills at that stage, they naturally couldn’t turn their bodies into tunneling light and travel through the sky like Foundation Establishment Masters.
In this case, their yearning for the sky was evident.
Can’t transform into tunneling light?
Then use the Heavenly Cicada Light Body Skill to fly!
Even if they could only hover briefly, it was still a wonderful experience.
Moreover, as a high-quality technique, the Heavenly Cicada Light Body Skill itself had a very fast speed, making it quite suitable for Qi-refining late-stage practitioners to use for travel or escaping.
That was the reason for the Heavenly Cicada Light Body Skill’s popularity.
After reading all the booklets, He Song thought for a moment before deciding on the Earth Tunneling Skill.
Safety.
It was the first consideration for He Song.
Neither the Light Body Skill nor the Mountain Light Body Skill, nor even the Heavenly Cicada Light Body Skill, seemed as safe to He Song as the Earth Tunneling Skill.
The Earth Tunneling Skill allowed for traveling underground, not fast, but not slow either, and with the cover of the soil layer, it was obviously safer.
If the Earth Tunneling Skill were used in conjunction with the Breath
Concealment Formulas, as long as they didn’t intentionally pay attention,
who could know that there was a cultivator underground using the Earth Tunneling Skill?
In the future, He Song would definitely have to leave the Immortal Pavilion and go elsewhere to open spirit fields repeatedly.
On the way there and back, he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t attract attention every time.
Using the Light Body Skill himself would make him too conspicuous, making it easy for others to follow him.
Earth Tunneling Skill, on the other hand, allowed him to quietly tunnel underground from his home without anyone noticing his departure, and no one would know where He Song went.
Naturally, the more concealed Earth Tunneling Skill became his first choice.
In addition, in case his spirit field was discovered,
He Song, who would be caught in the middle of it, could use the Earth Tunneling Skill to quietly leave with the help of the Five Phases Array buying him some time.
When using the Earth Tunneling Skill in conjunction with the Breath Concealment Formulas, it would be easy to slip away without any precautions.
Although doing so would cost him a spirit field, at least his life would be safe.
After thinking it over in his mind, He Song gently wiped the table.
Instantly.
One hundred spirit stones appeared on the table in front of him.
“Fellow Daoist Ping’er, I’d like to purchase this Earth Tunneling Skill.” He Song gave the spirit stones and picked up the jade slip with the Earth Tunneling Skill recorded on it.
Seeing Ping’er nodding slightly and taking away the one hundred spirit stones, He Song naturally pressed the jade slip against his forehead.
The next moment.
A huge amount of information poured into He Song’s mind from the jade slip.
Fortunately, He Song’s soul was stronger than ordinary cultivators, so he could quickly organize and classify this information and then firmly imprint it in his memory.
Once he returned home, he would be able to start comprehending the Earth Tunneling Skill.
Soon after,
He Song put the jade slip back on the tray.
Then he looked at Pinger.
“Fellow Daoist Ping’er, I also need the Object Controlling Skills and some other middle-grade techniques. Could you please help me fetch them?”
Object Controlling Skills.
Middle- grade technique.
Worth fifty spirit stones.
He Song had heard about it from Ping’er during his last visit to the Spirit Skill Pavilion.
At that time, Ping’er told him that the Object Controlling Skills were of great use.
Unfortunately, He Song didn’t have much money at that time and couldn’t afford it, so he ended up buying just two basic skills and left with a feeling of disappointment.
Now, three years have passed.
He Song also had some assets, so he naturally thought of this middle-grade technique and wanted to buy it too.
In addition to the Object Controlling Skills, He Song also wanted to buy some other middle-grade techniques, so he asked Ping’er to fetch them all at once so that he could pick and choose.
From the side,
Ping’er saw that He Song had bought the Earth Tunneling Skill and was still not satisfied, and wanted to buy some middle-grade techniques.
Her gaze toward He Song changed instantly.
“Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment, I’ll be right back.”
As she spoke, Ping’er picked up the tray from the table and left, but as she left, she couldn’t help but wonder..
