My carefree life in space

Chapter 213 Dragon Clan Secret Techniques

Generally speaking, the art of bloodline tracing is an important means for cultivators to maintain family ties and find lost relatives. Its principle stems from the unique spiritual imprint contained in bloodlines, which is like a natural code. Each family's bloodline code has unique fluctuations and frequencies.

When using the Bloodline Search Technique, if a relative is within a certain range, the spiritual power in one's own bloodline will resonate with that of the other person, much like the telepathic connection between relatives in a vast sea of ​​people, guiding the cultivator to search for them.

It's one thing that Lin Shushu couldn't find Lin Cheng'an through the bloodline tracing method, as the reason could be attributed to the fact that he wasn't a cultivator, but why couldn't she find Yuan Qing either?

Hearing her question, Cangwu understood. Although this girl's cultivation level was already quite high, she wasn't a native cultivator after all, and there were some common-sense things she wouldn't know.

"There are several possibilities for this situation. One is the mutation of the bloodline, the second is the interference of the environment, the third is human intervention, and the fourth is the separation of time and space." Cangwu listed several reasons at once, leaving Lin Shushu stunned.

Seeing that she didn't quite understand, Cangwu explained each possible reason in detail.

First, there's the mutation of bloodline. In the cultivation world, there are numerous types of cultivation techniques, each with its unique cultivation methods and energy circulation pathways. Some extremely domineering techniques will comprehensively transform the cultivator's body during cultivation. This transformation causes significant changes to the originally stable bloodline connection.

Furthermore, there are some special constitutions in the cultivation world, whose appearance is often accompanied by earth-shattering phenomena. However, while these special constitutions grant cultivators powerful abilities, they also disrupt the normal fluctuations of bloodlines.

As for the second one, it's also easy to understand. Lin Shushu had already figured out the reason.

The cultivation world is vast and boundless, containing many mysterious and dangerous regions, such as the core areas of void turbulence and spiritual storms, which are filled with violent spatial forces and chaotic spiritual energy.

When a cultivator is in the midst of this chaos and attempts to use the bloodline kinship technique, the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from their own bloodline will be instantly torn apart and distorted by the powerful forces within the turbulent currents before they can travel very far.

Then there's the constraint of formations. The art of formations in the cultivation world is profound and complex. Powerful formations such as sealing formations and concealment formations are like insurmountable barriers, severing the connection between bloodlines at the spatial and spiritual energy levels.

The third and fourth possibilities were already fully understood by Lin Shushu without Cangwu needing to elaborate. Regarding human factors, there were instances of actively sealing one's bloodline and passively losing its power. As for spatial and temporal barriers, Lin Shushu was a prime example, simply due to differences in time travel or the flow of time itself.

The question now is, since we can't find our parents through blood, are there any other methods we can try?

A resolute glint flashed in Cangwu's eyes as he slowly spoke: "My dragon clan has a secret technique called the 'Spiritual Rhinoceros Tracing Technique.' This technique requires the dragon clan's spiritual crystals as a medium, and your bloodline power as a guide, to communicate with the spiritual energy that roams the world."

This was originally a secret technique of the Dragon Clan, but Lin Shushu had been kind to him, so Cangwu was willing to violate clan rules to pass on this secret technique to her.

Lin Shushu's eyes lit up; as long as there was a way, that was fine.

"To cast this spell, you must enter a deep meditative state, merging your consciousness with the spirit crystal, and then using the power of the spirit crystal to trace the source of your bloodline. However, this spell is extremely dangerous. If your will is not strong enough, you may get lost in the torrent of spiritual power and never wake up again."

"Senior, I'm not afraid. As long as there's hope, I'm willing to try." Lin Shushu didn't care about the risks Cangwu mentioned.

Cangwu nodded approvingly, "In that case, I will pass on this 'Spiritual Rhinoceros Tracing Technique' to you." Then, Cangwu explained the cultivation incantation and precautions of the secret technique to Lin Shushu in detail.

After memorizing the incantation and precautions, Lin Shushu suddenly realized that something was missing. She looked at Cangwu somewhat embarrassedly: "What are dragon spirit crystals?"

This spell requires a dragon's spirit crystal as a medium, but Cangwu has not fully recovered yet, and besides, he has lost his dragon body, so how can he produce a spirit crystal?

Upon hearing Lin Shushu's words, a look of desolation flashed in Cangwu's eyes.

Dragon spirit crystals are crystallized forms of energy, formed by the condensation of rich spiritual energy or special energy over a long period of time under special conditions. They typically contain powerful and pure dragon power.

In some ancient ancestral sites or ruins of the dragon race, there exist spirit crystals left behind by their ancestors as a gift and aid to their descendants. Only those who pass specific trials or possess pure dragon blood have the opportunity to obtain these spirit crystals.

For members of the dragon race, spirit crystals are an excellent cultivation resource, helping them to rapidly improve their cultivation level and increase their power. Absorbing the energy within spirit crystals can accelerate the circulation of the dragon's own spiritual power and the awakening of its bloodline power.

For other cultivators, if they can obtain and make good use of Dragon Spirit Crystals, they can also use the power of the dragons within to temper their own meridians, improve the purity of their spiritual power, and may even gain some special abilities or physiques related to the dragons.

Seeing Cangwu's troubled expression, Lin Shushu knew he was thinking about the past and felt a pang of guilt, so she didn't press him further. It didn't matter that she didn't have spirit crystals; she could always think of other solutions.

Cangwu saw through her thoughts, suppressed his bitterness, and returned to the matter at hand.

Didn't I give you a scale before?

Lin Shushu was taken aback. Back then, Cangwu had given her a scale as a token of gratitude for the Soul-Nourishing Wood he had given her. But what did this have to do with spirit crystals?

Cangwu knew she didn't understand, so he explained, "Dragon scales contain pure dragon spiritual power, and their effects are similar to those of spirit crystals."

Dragon scales have more uses than just that; they are also rare treasures for humans. For example, when breaking through a bottleneck, the energy surge from dragon scales can help break through the barrier of cultivation and achieve a leap in power. Adding dragon scales when forging weapons can also imbue them with the power and characteristics of the dragon race.

Lin Shushu was a little embarrassed; she was probably the only one who didn't care about receiving a dragon scale as a gift.

Finding the dragon scales and holding them in her hand, under the protection of Cangwu, Lin Shushu began to try to cultivate the Spiritual Rhinoceros Tracing Technique.

She sat cross-legged and circulated her spiritual energy according to the incantation. At first, everything went smoothly, but as she continued to pour in spiritual energy, the light emitted by the dragon scales became more and more dazzling, and powerful spiritual energy surged towards her like a raging tide.

Lin Shushu felt a splitting headache, as if countless steel needles were piercing her soul. But she gritted her teeth and persevered with her indomitable will.

Mo Ze watched anxiously from the side. He cast a questioning glance at Cang Wu, whose expression remained calm. Influenced by Cang Wu and trusting Lin Shushu, Mo Ze finally felt relieved.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Shushu suddenly sensed a familiar aura emanating from the dragon scales. Her heart skipped a beat; she knew she had finally found a clue. Therefore, she concentrated all her attention and followed the aura.
