[Option 1: Save the heaven-grade spirit stones and not use them. [Completion Reward: Xihe Secret Technique (Earth Grade Top-Rank)]

[Option 2: Create a jade slip with an earth-grade spirit stone. [Completion Reward: White Light Demon Axis (Earth Grade Low-Rank)]

[Option 3: Use a heaven-grade spirit stone to make a jade slip. [Completion Reward: Random Basic Attribute Point +1]

In a month's time, Jiang Beiran had made 72 jade slips out of the low and middle-grade spirit stones that had absorbed the Wood Spiritual Qi. Just as he was considering whether he should use Earth Grade or even Heaven Grade spirit stones to make a jade slip, a system notification suddenly popped up.

" Using a Heaven Rank spirit stone to make a jade slip?'

Puzzled, Jiang Beiran pondered for a while, but he still could not come up with a reason.

However, he knew that if he didn't do it, then there would be a high level Earth Grade trouble waiting for him, so he still decisively chose the third option.

However, it was definitely not an easy task to make jade slips with heaven grade spirit stones.

There were two basic abilities in the jade scroll technique. One was array formation, and the other was carving.

Jiang Beiran was naturally very proficient in these two mystic arts. However, he did not even have the experience of making jade slips with earth grade spirit stones, let alone heaven grade jade stones.

Picking up an icosahedron Heaven-rank spirit stone, Jiang Beiran examined it for a while and said,"'However, if I only make it into a jade slip... It shouldn't be too difficult.

If the spirit stones could determine the quality of the jade slip, then the jade maker could determine the strength of the jade slip's effect.

An outstanding jade craftsman could fully utilize all the characteristics of the spirit stone, allowing the jade slips he made to have unlimited possibilities.

For example, storing multiple moves at the same time, storing spiritual pressure and moves at the same time, using the stored moves multiple times, and so on.

However, these were not the best techniques...

Most jade slips had a very big flaw, and that was that when the moves were stored in the jade slip, their power would decrease. The worse the jade slip was made, the more the power would decrease. In addition, the longer the storage time, the weaker the power of the move.

However, the top-notch jade masters could avoid this shortcoming. Not only would the jade slips they produced not weaken the power of the move, but they would also strengthen it. Moreover, the longer they were stored, the stronger the move would be.

However, such a jade master was extremely rare in the entire Mystery Dragon Continent. Jiang Beiran only found out about such a formidable jade master from Lin Shiyun.

Among the new skills that Jiang Beiran had added, he believed that the three attributes of [Mystic Carving],[Spirit Infusing], and [Gas Cutting] were probably related to jade making masters. Once he had mastered all three skills, Jiang Beiran believed that he would be able to make jade chips like that.

However, these three points were not that many. Jiang Beiran estimated that he could barely make the Heaven-rank spirit stone into a jade slip. As for fully developing the potential of the Heaven-rank spirit stone, it was unlikely.

" Sigh, it's a little wasteful.'

However, compared to wasting, his life was definitely more important.

In order not to waste any Heaven-rank spiritual stones, Jiang Beiran decided to practice with Earth-rank spiritual stones first. He picked one from his Cosmos Ring and began to draw up a blueprint in his mind.

On the side, Lin Shiyun was seriously studying the Book of Changes that the master had given her. For her, who usually took three minutes, this time she had a strong interest in divination. The 64 hexagrams, 384 lines, divination and other mysterious techniques in the book were deeply attracted to her.

As usual, Lin Yuyan was admiring her senior brother while holding the White Mist Sword. Her expression changed from time to time, as if her senior brother was tugging at her heartstrings every time he moved his finger.

She should be the least anxious to leave out of the three of them. She would even cheer for those Profound Sages when she looked at the Heavenly Eye Formation, hoping that they could fight until the end of time.

Under the circumstances where the three of them were unusually fulfilled, time flew by for another month.

[Mission completed. Reward: Strength +1]

'Phew... It's finally completed.

Looking at the exquisite jade slip in his hand, Jiang Beiran heaved a sigh of relief.

The process of making a jade chip with a Heaven Grade jade stone was much more difficult than he had imagined. This thing was simply too precious. If he were to damage the lines slightly, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Fortunately, Jiang Beiran was not careless. The system had only requested him to make a jade chip out of a Heaven-grade jade stone, but there were no other requirements. Therefore, he did not pursue any fancy functions and instead made a very " ordinary " jade chip out of a Heaven-grade jade stone.

Upon hearing the system notification, Jiang Beiran put the Heaven-grade jade slip aside and stood up to walk toward the boiler.

Hearing the commotion, Lin Shiyun, who was reading, immediately raised her head and asked,""Master, is the jade scroll ready?"

"Yes." Jiang Beiran, who was in a good mood, came to the stove. After lighting the fire, he looked at Lin Shiyun and asked,""What do you want to eat?"

Lin Shiyun was stunned at first, then she became excited.

Ever since they entered the cave, Jiang Beiran had not personally cooked a single dish. Although Lin Shiyun's own cooking was not bad, it was like heaven and earth when compared to Jiang Beiran's. Therefore, in the past year, she had missed Jiang Beiran's cooking all the time.

The reason why Jiang Beiran suddenly wanted to cook was firstly because he was finally done with his cooking, and secondly because he was craving his own cooking.
