Chapter 279 - Chapter 279: Chapter 261: Offering the Pill [Thanks to Changbai Wind and Snow Voice for the monthly ticket reward] (2/2)
He couldn’t penetrate it at all.
Lin Jing was quite puzzled; it was usually easy for his Divine Sense to probe into other jade slips.
“Could it be that there is some kind of forbiddance on this jade slip?”
Lin Jing muttered to himself.
Then he picked up the jade slip and continued to examine it.
After a long time, Lin Jing did not find any forbiddances on the jade slip.
In this case, either the forbiddance was too ingenious for Lin Jing’s cultivation to detect,
or there was no forbiddance at all, and it simply required a special method to open.
“A special method…”
Lin Jing paused for a moment, then thought of the bloodline inheritance box. He wondered,
“Could it be that this jade slip also requires the testing of bloodline power?”
Lin Jing then nodded slightly.
“Hmm! Very likely…”
Afterward, just like when he opened the box, he used a blade of condensed Spiritual Power to cut his finger.
Next, he dripped a few drops of blood onto the jade slip.
The moment the blood touched it, the jade slip immediately reacted.
The blood directly merged into the jade slip.
Then, a hazy purple light began to emanate from it, enveloping the entire jade slip, causing it to float and levitate in mid-air.
Moments later, the purple light dissipated.
And the jade slip returned to its original appearance, falling down.
Lin Jing reached out and caught the jade slip.
Then, he once again concentrated his Divine Sense and probed towards the jade slip.
This time, it was exceptionally smooth.
Lin Jing’s Divine Sense directly entered the jade slip.
However, as soon as he probed inside, a vast amount of information rushed into Lin Jing’s mind.
The sheer volume of information was overwhelming; Lin Jing had barely reacted when a severe headache struck, feeling as if his head was about to explode.
Thereupon, Lin Jing did not hesitate.
He quickly withdrew his Divine Sense.
After withdrawing his Divine Sense, Lin Jing fell back into the chair behind him.
His forehead was bulging with veins, and sweat soaked his entire body, even drenching his back.
The information just now was so immense that Lin Jing felt that if he had exited a few seconds later,
his head would probably have exploded on the spot, and even his Divine Sense might have been scattered by the surge of information.
One should not underestimate such an enormous volume of information; if one is not careful, it can indeed result in such consequences.
It’s like when a cultivator uses the Soul Searching Technique.
Very few cultivators employ the Soul Searching Technique, although it can extract desired information from an enemy’s mind; it also poses a significant burden on oneself.
Performing a Soul Search on someone is like receiving their memories, knowledge, and even emotions in an instant…
If one does not have a strong mind, there’s a high likelihood of becoming lost in it, unable to extract oneself.
What’s worse, one might even cause their own mind to collapse under the strain.
Therefore, Soul Searching is generally used by a cultivator of a higher rank on those of a lower rank,
and it cannot be used frequently.
Only in this way can it be relatively safe.
Previously, Wu Cai Immortal had intended to perform a Soul Search on Lin Jing, naturally for the same reason. Lin Jing appeared to only have eighth level Qi Refinement cultivation,
while Wu Cai Immortal was a Golden Core Immortal; there was a two-rank difference between them, so Wu Cai Immortal did not have any concerns.
Moreover.
He didn’t really believe that Lin Jing was the murderer.
His main purpose was actually to disrupt Lin Jing’s mind during the Soul Search, rendering him into an idiot or even killing him.
After all, because of Lin Jing and Huang Qingling, Liu Yiyuan had not progressed for a long time.
Although Wu Cai Immortal was angry about his lack of progress, he still harbored deep hatred for Lin Jing, the main culprit.
However, fortunately, the Zhang Family Patriarch intervened in the end, preventing Wu Cai Immortal from succeeding.
……
After withdrawing his Divine Sense…
Lin Jing felt that his mind was now filled with many scattered pieces of knowledge related to Alchemy Dao.
Although Lin Jing had forcefully withdrawn, this small portion of knowledge remained in his mind.
Probably less than one-thousandth.
Lin Jing then closed his eyes and delved into his sea of consciousness.
He discovered that this knowledge was just a collection of fragmented pieces, difficult to connect together.
It seems that to fully understand,
he would need to absorb and digest all the Alchemy Dao knowledge in the jade slip to integrate it all together.
However, Lin Jing obviously would not take such a risk.
He could feel that if he continued recklessly, he was very likely to completely succumb.
He might even have his sea of consciousness burst by the vast volume of knowledge, causing his Divine Sense to disperse, leaving him a simpleton.
Following that…
Lin Jing, supporting himself on the nearby table, stood up.
Just as he was about to go to his bedroom to meditate and recover, a very familiar voice came from outside.
“Lin Jing, I’m here, hurry and open the door.”
This voice was none other than Huang Qingling’s.
