Chapter 8: The Book Pavilion

  One sword overturns the city

  He ignored those who were daydreaming and said to Ruo Bie Li and Ruo Qing Cheng, "Let's go, today I'll take you to the library to choose an attack spell!"

  "Why, Master Shu, do we still need to choose an attacking method? Isn't the Qingyun Sword Manual enough? Why do we need to choose again?" Yu Qiancheng also looked puzzled on the side.

  Wandering Son said patiently: "The 'Qingyun Sword Classic' is unmatched in power, but it also consumes a lot of spiritual energy. With your current cultivation level, you can't even release one move. What will you use to protect yourself if you encounter danger? So, you still need to choose an attacking magic spell, got it?"

  "If we choose two departments, won't that be better? Why can only one department be chosen? If we choose two departments, wouldn't the attack be stronger and make the enemy only able to defend?"

  "Essence is more important than quantity, if you learn too many things, when facing an enemy, you'll be hesitant about which technique to use, and by the time you decide, you'll have lost the initiative. Moreover, if you learn two or three techniques, your spiritual energy will be depleted before you can even use those powerful techniques. What will you use to cast those extraordinary techniques? Do you think you can defeat someone who has reached the middle stage of fusion with just the techniques from the early stages? The path of cultivation is about going against heaven's will, remember not to be too greedy, in the vast world, cultivate only one word 'fate', if you go against your heart, it will give rise to inner demons, and being controlled by them, you'll fall into madness. Do you understand?"

  "Master Uncle, what is the Book Pavilion like? Is it fun?"

  The loose cultivator shook his head and laughed, saying: "The Hidden Book Pavilion is a place where the sect's cultivation methods are stored. From low to high, it is divided into four floors. The first and second floors are for ordinary or middle-grade outer disciples to choose their cultivation methods. The third floor is for top-grade core disciples to choose their cultivation methods. As for the highest fourth floor, it is for a few extremely talented core disciples to cultivate. When they enter the fourth floor, they must make a heart demon oath, and they are not allowed to spread what they learn outside. Moreover, each of them is a person who is loyal to the sect with all their heart!" It's worth noting that the heart demon oath is a taboo for cultivators. If you violate the oath, when you close your eyes to cultivate, you may suddenly produce a heart demon and lose yourself in madness!

  "If it's not the case that innate talent determines one's achievements, then no matter how hard those without top-notch talents work, they won't be able to reach the same heights as those with top-notch talents, right? In the same Tribulation period, a person with top-notch talent can take down someone without top-notch talent in just a few moves."

  "You're a bit late to the party, aren't you? If it were really like that, there wouldn't be anyone left inside! What I just said was only for those who have just entered the sect and are chosen based on their innate talents. Since you've reached the Yuan Ying stage, of course, you can go up to the third floor, and when you reach the Hé Tǐ stage, you can naturally go to the fourth floor. It's just that you started a bit late, that's all!"

  "If Master suddenly asked: 'Master Uncle, when choosing a method, is there anything special to pay attention to?'"

  "You've grasped the key point, quite clever! When choosing a spell, you must first think about what kind of magical tool you'll be using in the future. If you're going to use a sword, then choosing a spell that's suited for knives will also work against enemies, but its power will decrease by one or two points. On the other hand, if you choose a spell that matches your future magical tool, its attacking power will increase by one or two points. Got it? So now you can take your time to think about what kind of magical tool you'll be using in the future, and avoid wasting time when choosing spells later on."

  Ruò Bié Lí and Ruò Qīng Chéng nodded at the same time! Yóu Lí Zǐ swept his sleeves, covering Ruò Bié Lí and Ruò Qīng Chéng together, flying towards the Cáng Shū Gé direction!

  An hour later, they stopped at the foot of a mountain shrouded in mist and cloud, looking like a paradise on earth, but there was not a single pavilion or building, let alone a library, nor even a shadow could be seen!

  "Master Shu, where is the Cangshuge? There isn't even a pavilion or a building here. Could it be hidden by an array?" Ruo Bi Li turned to ask You Li Zi with a puzzled expression, and Ruo Qing Cheng also looked at You Li Zi with a face full of doubt.

  The old man looked at the puzzled faces of Ruo Bie Li and Ruo Qing Cheng, stroking his beard and shaking his head with a smile: "Who told you that the Cangshu Pavilion must be a pavilion? The mountain in front of you is our destination, the Cangshu Pavilion!" After finishing, he laughed loudly!

  At this time, Ru Bieli was stunned, and in front of him was just a mountain! But why did it look so strange? Suddenly, he understood that this was not an ordinary mountain! The mountain in front of him was more like a sword, only made of stone. The Sword Mountain was not high, but the tip of the sword pierced directly into the clouds, and spiritual energy flowed from the tip, which didn't seem unusual at all!

  "Master Uncle, you don't mean that this mountain in front of us, which looks like a sword, is the Cangshu Pavilion? But how do we get in? Is it through that cave at the foot of the mountain?"

  "Come on! Let's go in!" said the free spirit with a smile.

  When they went in, it finally felt a bit like a library! Don't look at the outside, which looks relatively small, but inside it's not small at all! Row after row of bookshelves were filled with piles of books, and no matter how you looked at them, there were tens of thousands of volumes. Each disciple was intently studying the scriptures, without anyone noticing their arrival. The second floor was similar to the first floor, with only a few thousand volumes of classics inside, and fewer people. On the third floor, there were even fewer classics, estimated to be around 1,000 to 2,000 volumes, and even fewer people. When they came up, some disciples looked at the sect leader bringing them up, possibly guessing something, with a hint of envy on their faces. Some disciples still studied the scriptures, taking out jade slips to record what they liked, then immediately going downstairs, probably eager to practice new scriptures!

  When they reached the fourth floor staircase, a middle-aged man who seemed to be on the verge of death was sitting on the stairs, staring at something. The wandering son had seen many strange things before and wasn't surprised anymore. He bowed to the man and said: "Lóng Shīxiōng, I've brought these two children up to the fourth floor to choose a technique!"

  The middle-aged man didn't even lift his head, and in a stiff tone said: "Hand order, token!" Youli Zi heard this and let out a bitter laugh. This senior brother is still like this! But he didn't see him take anything out, he just walked to the front of the middle-aged man, then moved his mouth as if transmitting some sound to the middle-aged man.

  After a while, the middle-aged man suddenly looked up and glanced at Ruo Bie Li and Ruo Qing Cheng. A flash of sharp light flickered in his eyes, revealing that he was an expert. However, he still spoke in a stiff tone: "Go on!" At this time, anyone with a keen ear could still detect a hint of joy in his words!

  As Ruobi watched, his eyes rolled around, clearly thinking of something bad. Meanwhile, Youlizi knew what he was thinking and hastily sent a message: "Don't do anything stupid, or you'll be the one to suffer. Wait for me to explain on the fourth floor, don't do anything stupid now!" Ruobi heard this and looked at the middle-aged man who was still looking down with a mixture of unwillingness and curiosity. Youlizi bowed to him again and went upstairs. After they left, the middle-aged man muttered to himself: "Two innate spiritual bodies appeared at the same time... that little girl is going to enter the Golden Elixir realm at such a young age, she's not simple! I estimate that our sect will rise to greatness in their generation! If it's really like this, then I..." He suddenly became excited, as if he hadn't finished speaking. If someone familiar saw his expression at this moment, they would be shocked, no less than seeing a divine artifact. After all, although the middle-aged man wasn't old, he was already over 7,000 years old!

  After going up to the fourth floor, Yu said to the wandering son who was not satisfied with the separation: "Just now I was thinking about how to deal with him, why did you stop me? I just thought of a good way!"

  The wandering cultivator smiled wryly and said, "My little ancestor, you should just calm down! Not everyone will indulge your every whim! That Brother Long, originally because he had injured several of the sect's top talents, was ostracized by them due to their arrogance. As a result, he was beaten to the point where he couldn't even be considered human. Later on, when disciples came here, they all treated him with great respect and caution, fearing that they would offend him if they weren't careful! Originally, 3000 years ago, he could have already left, but why did he stay until now? Do you know why? It's because 3500 years ago, a Heaven's Chosen disciple appeared in the sect. He was actually Brother Hai's disciple. When Brother Hai brought him to select scriptures, that disciple, knowing he was a Heaven's Chosen, felt superior and looked down on others. When he saw Brother Long's attitude, he actually spat at his feet on the stairs! In an instant, he enraged Brother Long. That disciple spent nearly 10 years recovering in bed after being beaten back to his sect. From then on, no one dared to provoke this living Yama!" After finishing speaking, he smiled and said to Ruo Bieli, "Why don't you go and tidy him up? I'm sure he won't hold it against you!"

  But after hearing You Li's words, Rou Bianli thought to herself: "You're still going to bully him? Who would dare to bully him now that he's spoken up like this? He just spat out some saliva and got away with it for 10 years, but I'd be stuck for 100 years! I'm not stupid!" But her mouth still spoke firmly: "For now, let's focus on finding a way to settle the law, we can deal with him later when we have time." Rou Qiancheng, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh at this brother of hers...

  "Alright, you guys go choose your spells now. Remember to pick from the right side, they're all single-target attack spells. I'll wait for you downstairs!" With that said, he turned around and left!

  Ruò Bié Lí turned his head and looked at Ruò Qīng Chéng saying: "Qīng Chéng little sister, what kind of Fa Jué do you want to choose?"

  Ru Xiang Cheng looked at Ru Bie Li and said innocently: "I want to choose the same one as Brother Bie Li!"

  "If we're going to part ways, let's choose a sword-type spell instead! I prefer swords! And since we know the 'Green Cloud Sword Classic', our attack power with swords is higher!"

  Yan Qing Cheng nodded and said: "En!" After that, the two of them went to the right side to select books.
