Chapter 2139 Hard Choices


    It had been an hour and Lin Mu had gone through all of the one crystal jade slips as well as the two crystal jade slips in the nearby shelves.


    The one crystal jade slips were all Qi skills without exception and were basically useless for Lin Mu. At first he thought that this was just the case for the first shelf that he had picked. But when he checked out the other shelves, he found it to be the same.


    Lin Mu asked hispanions too and they confirmed that they had found all the one crystal jade slips to be Qi skills. Almost all of them found them to be useless other than a couple of obscure ones that appealed to Daoist Chu and Ziran.


    And those Qi skills weren''t offense skills, but had supportive or auxiliary effects.


    For example Daoist Chu liked a Qi skill called as the Echoed Shivers. It was a sensory Qi skill that allowed one to sense vibrations through the air. While this was something most immortals could do with the help of their Immortal sense, this Qi skill allowed one to do the same without it. As such, it could be a good backup skill in case one was unable to use their Immortal sense for some reason.


    Another good use for it was to cause misdirection for others in the scenario of an ambush.


    The enemies might think that the user is unaware and is not using their immortal sense, but the Echoed Shivers Qi skill would allow them to know of their movements, regardless. As such, the Qi skill was actually not that bad and Lin Mu found it good to have in one''s repertoire too but the limitations on the Qi skill also reduced its use. Not only did the Qi skill consumed a high amount of Immortal Qi to do this, it also had a limited range of ten to twenty meters.


    Such a range was only good for close encounters whereas most immortals fought at a longer distance.


    Lin Mu didn''t need this Qi skill either as he had a far superior ability… His Spatial Perception.


    Even for Daoist Chu, while he did add it to his list of potential choices, he hadn''t actually picked it.


    The Qi skill that Ziran had found to be useful was something that was suited to exploration.


    It was called as the Shadow Mote Tag.


    It was a Qi skill that could only be used by someone that could use Shadow element or the Darkness element. It allowed on to create a small shadow tag that could be attached to other objects, whether they be living or nonliving. This could then be identified by the user even if the appearance of the object changed, whether due to another Qi skill or some formation.


    As such, the Shadow Mote Tag could be quite useful in navigating through illusory arrays and mazes that changed often and also in tracking down others.


    This was actually a Qi skill that impressed Lin Mu, and he found it to be the best one among all the one crystal jade slips he had seen so far but its restrictions basically made it impossible for him to use it. In the two crystal jade slips, Lin Mu found that these were also Qi skills, but there were still some auxiliary skills mixed in them.


    The quality of the Qi skills was also a lot better, and they had fewer restrictions than the others. Lin Mu found them a bit more useful and picked out a few that could be potential picks for himter.


    After another two hours of scouring the shelves, Lin Mu had looked through most of the two crystal jade slips and had chosen three of them as potential options. He set them apart, and wouldter discuss with the others if they were viable or not.


    "Finally, the Three Crystal Jade Slips…" Lin Mu muttered and picked up the first one.


    The number of Three Crystal jade Slips was quite low aspared to the one crystal jade slips. On a single shelf, there weren''t more than fifteen to twenty of them.


    Among them, about half of them were Qi skills, and one could finally find some cultivation techniques mixed in. Though of course, the cultivation techniques were not something anyone here would pick easily as they had their own top quality cultivation techniques they used.


    Even Min Ju and Elder Ho had top quality cultivation techniques as part of the Great Kang Auction house.


    There was no way, anyone weaker would be qualified to serve Lady Kang after all.


    The two royals had either their signature techniques or something better they had obtained in the Immortal Court.


    Qiao De also had a top tier cultivation technique due to him being part of the ck Candle Pavilion.


    Monk Hushu was a Buddhist cultivator, so almost all of the cultivation techniques were ipatible with him by default, while Ziran had his own cultivation technique that was suited to his unique race.


    Then there was Lady Kang who had a rather obscure and unique cultivation technique that used the power of stars.


    Even among the top tier cultivation techniques Lin Mu knew that not many could use the power of stars.


    ''Even if I can''t use them, it might be good to study them.'' Lin Mu thought and still picked out a few that garnered his interest along with the good Qi skills. ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    Among the Three Crystal Jade Slips, Lin Mu particrly liked the Qi skills that were projectile type Qi skills.


    ''These would be perfect to use with Wonder Seeker,'' Lin Mu thought to himself.


    For this, he was a bit spoiled for choice as there were a lot of them that he could use and found good. As such, he picked out more than twenty such Qi skills before finally moving onto the four crystal jade slips.


    This was where the number of jade slips was skewed towards cultivation techniques more instead of Qi skills.
