In a world of immortals and swordsmen, a young Taoist named Mu Shao'ai loves flying swords, raising poison insects, drawing talismans, and refining pills. Isn't it delightful to live a care...
Compared to the pleasant surprises on the first floor, the second floor of the library was rather unremarkable.
Most of them are low-level cultivation methods, as well as second-rate Taoist techniques and secret skills. Those involving more than a hundred acupoints have almost disappeared.
However, if you just want to broaden your horizons, it's not bad.
Many secret techniques and cultivation methods are not of a high level, but that does not mean they are weak. They just have various drawbacks or lack follow-up methods, otherwise they would not have been included in the library.
Moreover, these endless streams of ingenious ideas also gave Bai Cang a lot of inspiration.
However, after a quick review, Bai Cang was not in a hurry to broaden his knowledge.
Instead, he chose and put away the "White Rainbow Sword Manual" as the method to control the Hundred Poisons Immortal-Slaying Sword.
Swords in this world are divided into two types: magic swords and flying swords, as are the methods of controlling swords.
The Hundred Poisons Immortal Slaying Sword is a magic sword that can unleash the Hundred Poisons Immortal Slaying Sword Light, but the sword itself still needs to be held in one's hand. The "White Rainbow Sword Technique" is the most advanced magic sword technique in the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion. It emphasizes ever-changing and unpredictable movements, and is most suitable for magic swords that can unleash the rainbow transformation of sword light.
"However, before learning the White Rainbow Sword Technique, you can first learn a few superior mortal sword techniques as an introduction and transition."
Bai Cang thought to himself, "But since I'm here, I might as well take the weapon-refining blueprints as well."
He hadn't forgotten that the Heavenly River True Lord had also bestowed upon him the blueprints for refining three superior magical artifacts.
With this in mind, Bai Cang immediately waved the True Inheritance Token and said, "Where are the ghosts and gods here? I am here by order of the True Lord to go to the Hall of Transmission."
The third floor of the Sutra Repository is the Dharma Transmission Hall, which is one of the most heavily guarded places in the entire temple complex.
All the forbidden spells here were personally arranged by the Heavenly River True Lord. Even the "sweeping Taoist" who guards the place is a ghost or god who has been granted a title by Longhu Mountain. Even the face of Yuan Tiangang and the other three capitals is no match for him.
Their natal spirit tablets are all in the hands of the Heavenly River True Lord, and they only obey the Heavenly River True Lord's commands.
It can be said that the Dharma Transmission Hall is the "true form" of the Sutra Repository.
The scripture pavilions on the first and second floors only housed some Taoist scriptures and miscellaneous notes.
Although there are secret cultivation methods, they are basically ordinary inheritances.
The true core secrets of the Heshan Sect, such as the refining diagrams for high-grade magical artifacts, are all kept in the Transmission Hall.
Each one is extremely rare, something that would drive countless rogue cultivators and unorthodox practitioners to fight tooth and nail for.
The true essence of the Heshan sect can only be revealed here.
There are very few places in the entire Chilong Temple that were personally arranged by the Heavenly River True Lord.
Aside from the Nine Rivers and Great Swamp, even this Dharma Transmission Hall and the sect's treasure vault couldn't capture his attention like this.
Unless permitted by the Heavenly River True Lord, or having performed a great service and having the Three Capitals Council jointly petition the True Lord for permission, one is not allowed to enter the Hall of Transmission of Dharma.
This also applies to the heads of the Three Capitals and Five Courts, including Yuan Tiangang.
After all, the law should not be passed on lightly!
The Sutra Repository contains many common cultivation techniques or blueprints for refining low-grade magical artifacts.
Even if you are not a true disciple, it is not difficult to obtain the corresponding inheritance.
Only the treasures in the Hall of Transmission of Dharma are all from the Heavenly River True Lord, like exquisite jewels, shining brightly, and at the very least, they are all of the highest quality.
"boom!"
Just then, Bai Cang suddenly smelled a rich aroma of incense.
A piece of lead oxide appeared out of thin air in the library, and suddenly ignited without wind, sending up wisps of blue smoke.
A wisp of Yin spirit gradually materialized from the green smoke, condensing into a divine body that seemed almost tangible.
Countless dark black lines intertwine on its Yin spirit body, forming mysterious and strange inscriptions, as if it were moving from illusion to the real world.
A phantom kingdom faintly appears, outlined in the wisps of smoke.
Paper figures and horses floated down from the illusion, and upon landing, they transformed into lifelike soldiers and horses, all gleaming in gold, clad in golden armor, and wielding various weapons, exuding an awe-inspiring presence.
Various banners, flags, golden gourds, silver spears, and other ceremonial weapons further enhanced the display of power and prestige.
It was clearly just a ghost, but it didn't have the slightest hint of eeriness.
On the contrary, it appears dignified and upright, with a somewhat divine air.
The leading Yin deity, resembling a golden-armored divine general, sat enthroned in the illusory palace, appearing as large as a mountain, exuding divine might.
Upon seeing the True Inheritance Token in Bai Cang's hand, and the blurry face shrouded in divine light suddenly becoming clear, he immediately responded, "So it is the young master who has graced us with his presence. I am Shang Tianyang, the patrolling divine general. Greetings, young master."
Seeing this, Bai Cang smiled slightly and a jade bottle flew out from his sleeve. "So it is General Shang in person. This humble Taoist, Bai Cang, greets you."
"This mere Xuan Yin Ghostly Spirit is of little importance; I hope the Mountain God will not find it offensive."
"Absolutely not! Absolutely not!"
The patrolling general Shang Tianyang was moved upon seeing it, but he still waved his hand repeatedly and pushed the jade bottle back, saying, "Serving the young master is my duty, how dare I accept such a great gift?"
The allure of the Xuan Yin Ghostly Fiend to ghosts and spirits is an irresistible temptation.
Although the patrolling deity Shang Tianyang is a ghost god appointed by Longhu Mountain, his essence is still that of a cultivator's yin spirit, and he has not transcended the category of ghost cultivators, so he is no exception.
But some things are too hot to handle!
Seeing this, Bai Cang smiled and pushed it back, "It's just a small gift, how can I not accept it?"
If you don't want to accept gifts, who the hell are you trying to impress with this huge display?
"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? How can we let the young master spend so much money?"
The patrolling deity Shang Tianyang softened his tone slightly, but still pushed the jade bottle back.
"What's so special about a mere Xuan Yin Ghostly Fiend?"
Bai Cang pushed it over again, "If General Shang thinks it's not enough, I'll go and dig out all of Master's treasury right now, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
The master of the young master, isn't that the young master Han Qinhu?
Upon hearing this, the patrolling deity Shang Yang shuddered, as if he had thought of something terrifying. He quickly forced a smile and said, "Your Excellency bestows this gift, I dare not refuse. Then this humble deity will gladly accept your reward!"
Before he finished speaking, the patrolling deity Shang Yang skillfully put away the jade bottle.
Then, with a wave of his hand, the illusory kingdom transformed into a gateway.
Even from a distance, Bai Cang could sense the chilling power contained within, permeating the void, and even the howling wind carried a cold and sinister aura.
"As expected of a ghost or god raised by the True Lord, even accepting gifts is so particular, requiring three refusals."
Bai Cang chuckled inwardly and immediately cupped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Divine General."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Cang flicked the token in his hand, and a dazzling light descended upon him.
Before Bai Cang could react, a powerful force swept up his body.
When Bai Cang opened his eyes again, he found himself seemingly inside the Hall of Transmission.
The jade slips stood in mid-air, arranged in neat rows, like a jade-colored dragon encircling Bai Cang's figure.
The jade slip was like the scales of a jade dragon, constantly swirling around him, following his wishes, allowing him to peruse it at will.
