Li Yuanba came out from the Great Elder's place. He checked the information on his identity jade disc and found that he had become a Jindan cultivator of the Senluo Sect.
If the sect arranges a task for him, his identity will be shown on the jade disc as an elder of a certain department.
He didn't care much about becoming a sect elder, and he didn't want to fight for power in the Senluo Sect.
He found the right direction and flew towards the sect's library.
Entering the library, he went up the stairs to the second floor, and then walked up the stairs leading to the third floor under the astonished gaze of a foundation-building cultivator.
This foundation-building cultivator recognized Li Yuanba. Although Li Yuanba was extremely lonely in the Senluo Sect, he had experienced many battles, especially the battle two years ago, in which he killed several true disciples in a row. This foundation-building cultivator was one of the survivors.
It was because he recognized Li Yuanba that this foundation-building cultivator shrank his body to prevent Li Yuanba from seeing him, while secretly watching Li Yuanba's movements.
After Li Yuanba walked up the stairs to the third floor, he almost screamed out loud.
The third floor is protected by a magic circle, and only Jindan-stage cultivators can go up there.
Since Li Yuanba was able to go up to the third floor, there is only one possibility, that is, Li Yuanba is already a Jindan cultivator.
This foundation-building cultivator thought of his fellow disciples who were still considering revenge against Li Yuanba. Because Li Yuanba was too powerful, several true disciples who had lost face last time had gathered together a number of powerful foundation-building late-stage cultivators, preparing to join forces to ambush Li Yuanba again in order to save their lost face.
The foundation-building cultivator took out his jade disc of identity and passed the news that Li Yuanba had become a Jindan cultivator to a good friend who was ready to take part in the action.
After that, this ambush, which had not yet been completed, disappeared without a trace after receiving this piece of news.
This is how the world of cultivating immortals is, strength is everything.
Li Yuanba walked up to the martial arts area on the third floor. There were fewer books and jade slips here than below, but there were still nearly eight hundred of them.
You should know that the skills in the skill area on the third floor can be cultivated to at least the Golden Core Stage.
In the past on Tianhai Island, the highest level of skills in Tianhai Sect was the Jindan stage skills, but in this skills area, they were placed randomly.
As long as there are enough contribution points, any Jindan cultivator from any sect can redeem it.
Li Yuanba’s identity jade disc had very few contribution points. He had done a lot of tasks, but those were only tasks for the Foundation Establishment stage. The difference in contribution points he obtained was too great if he wanted to exchange them for Golden Core stage techniques.
Fortunately, he was promoted to the Jindan stage, and the sect still gave him some rewards.
He has the right to choose two Jindan-stage exercises in the library for free, and then he has to go to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to get a set of sect Jindan robes, a storage bracelet, a standard magic weapon, and some third-grade resources.
Under normal circumstances, newly promoted Jindan monks would first go to collect the storage bracelet and other rewards, especially the standard magic weapon.
But Li Yuanba didn't think much of those things. Although the third-grade resources were of some use, he wasn't so noble as not to take them. He just urgently wanted to find a suitable technique.
There is no need to change the main cultivation technique. According to Elder Jian's judgment, the level of "Sword Intent Soaring to the Sky" is the best in the entire Northern Shu Continent, not to mention the Senluo Sect.
What he needed was a method for refining the body, and it would be even better if he could find a method for refining corpses and practicing independently.
With this thought in mind, he came to the library.
"I have something I want to ask you!" Li Yuanba did not immediately look for the martial arts he wanted. He had his own way of looking for martial arts in a place like the library. He came to the Jindan monk on duty and said with a smile.
Although this Jindan cultivator only guards the library, the most basic identity of a Jindan cultivator who holds a position in the sect is an elder.
In other words, the vast majority of Jindan cultivators have the status of elders in the sect, because they will more or less accept the sect's arrangements and participate in the sect's affairs.
Perhaps only the Nascent Soul Patriarch is qualified to do whatever he wants. In the Northern Shu Continent, the Jindan cultivators are the main force of the sect, and the Nascent Soul Patriarch is the sect's support.
As Li Yuanba spoke, he handed over a small jade bottle.
The Jindan elder on duty was resting with his eyes closed, and looked slightly displeased when being disturbed.
The guard duty on the third floor is the most leisurely. The Jindan cultivators rarely exchange their skills. In addition, there are not many Jindan cultivators in the sect, which makes the third floor empty most of the time.
The elder on duty at the Golden Core Repository opened his eyes and saw the jade bottle being handed to him.
He took the jade bottle, opened it, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and then sniffed it in disbelief, only then was he sure that it was a third-grade elixir to aid in cultivation.
A third-grade elixir that aids in cultivation, especially one that is not produced by the Senluo Sect, although its value is limited, getting it for free is something that makes him extremely happy.
The value mentioned here is limited, compared with the third-grade spiritual object. As a reward for obtaining information, it is definitely worth it.
"I am a stranger to you, fellow Taoist. I am Elder Cai from the Library. May I know your name?" Elder Cai asked with a smile.
"Elder Cai, I'm Li Yuanba. I've just been promoted to the Golden Core stage. This is my identity jade disc. I've come here specially to choose two skills!" Li Yuanba handed over the identity jade disc.
"You have two free skills. Just tell me if you need my help!" Elder Cai checked the jade identity disc and handed it back.
"Elder Cai is in charge of the library, so he is very familiar with the techniques here. I need a body-refining technique and a corpse-refining technique for independent practice!" Li Yuanba gave the third-grade elixir just to get accurate information.
"Junior Brother Li, you have found the right person. There are 132 body-building exercises here. If we ignore the difficulty of practice and only consider the effect, the number one one is the 'Scorching Sun Jade Body Technique'!" Elder Cai accepted the gift and responded enthusiastically.
He stretched out his hand and a jade slip flew over from the shelf next to him.
"I see that Junior Brother Li doesn't have any aura of magic power, so I don't think he will choose the magic power to cultivate his body. It is said that this 'Scorching Sun Jade Body Technique' was discovered by an old ancestor of the sect when he was exploring an abandoned mansion. It is a cultivation method for the late Golden Core stage. The cultivation method for the Nascent Soul stage needs to be exchanged for contribution points!" Elder Cai went on to introduce.
Li Yuanba did not have much objection to Elder Cai's judgment.
Elder Cai looks quite old, but he still has some vision.
Li Yuanba took the jade slip of "Scorching Sun Jade Body Art" and probed his spiritual sense into it.
In the absence of handover procedures, all he could see was the brief introduction of this technique.
Just as Elder Cai introduced, Elder Cai almost repeated the introduction of the technique, but Li Yuanba found that Elder Cai omitted one thing, which is that this body-refining technique is a pure Yang body-refining technique.
No wonder Elder Cai said that he only considered the effect of cultivation and not the difficulty of cultivation. This "Scorching Sun Jade Body Technique" is probably extremely rare in the sect, and it is extremely rare to find cultivators who have the conditions to cultivate it.
Pure Yang body-refining techniques such as the 'Scorching Sun Jade Body Technique' are in natural conflict with most of the demonic cultivators in the Senluo Sect.
"If you are not satisfied, there are two other body-building exercises that are also good!" Elder Cai did not think that Li Yuanba would be interested in the 'Scorching Sun Jade Body Technique'. He just arranged the exercises on the third floor of the library according to his own analysis and introduced them to Li Yuanba in order.
Such an introduction would make him feel that it was worthy of the third-grade elixir that Li Yuanba had paid for.
At the same time, such an introduction can also show his value. Apart from him who is extremely familiar with the skills in the library, who else can do this?
"No need, for the body-refining technique, I'll choose 'Scorching Sun Jade Body Technique'!" Li Yuanba thought of his own Tai Chi Taoist body. When in human form, it was an extremely yang body, which was most compatible with the 'Scorching Sun Jade Body Technique'.
This answer made the words that Elder Cai wanted to say next stuck in his throat, making him feel like he had to get them out.
"You have good vision. The 'Scorching Sun Jade Body Technique' is definitely the most powerful body-building technique here!" Elder Cai calmed down and said with a forced smile.
"Please introduce another martial art to me, Elder Cai!" Li Yuanba asked.
"The techniques for self-cultivation of corpses are extremely rare. Only three of them are included here. If you have to choose the strongest one among the three, it must be the 'Evil Corpse Spirit Record'. However, the 'Evil Corpse Spirit Record' requires the corpse to have extremely high spirituality. Because the content of the technique is too complicated, a corpse without sufficient spirituality cannot practice it!" Elder Cai felt that Li Yuanba might just want the strongest technique, so he still mentioned the strongest technique first.
It is normal that corpse refiners rarely have independent cultivation techniques. Generally speaking, corpse refiners grow by absorbing spiritual objects and in formations that gather cold and yin energy.
It is extremely rare to find corpses that can practice martial arts independently. Take the corpses of Li Shiming for example. Although there are already more than a dozen corpses there, none of them can practice martial arts independently.
The reason for this is spirituality. It is no problem for the master to control the corpse to fight, but if he wants to control the energy inside the corpse to circulate according to the exercises, it is a more delicate operation, which requires the corpse to do it by itself.
However, the intelligence of the corpse is almost all focused on combat, and the rest of the intelligence is at the level of mental retardation. It is almost impossible to let a mentally retarded person practice complex skills.
Of course, since there are corpse-refining techniques that can cultivate their own skills, there must be corpse-refining techniques that can cultivate this kind of skills.
According to legend, when a corpse is being refined, there is a very low chance that a corpse king with extremely high spirituality will appear. This kind of technique is used for the corpse king to practice.
So when Elder Cai was introducing Li Yuanba, his eyes kept looking at Li Yuanba's waist, wanting to see what Li Yuanba's refined corpse looked like.
You can't see it by looking at it this way. It's an instinctive action after association.
"Then let's choose 'Record of Evil Corpses'!" Li Yuanba made the decision without even looking at it this time.
In his opinion, no spirituality of the corpse refiner could compare to his own. He was not afraid of any spiritual requirements, as long as it was the practice method of the corpse refiner.
"This 'Evil Corpse Spirit Record' is a complete version that can lead one directly to the Golden Corpse realm!" Elder Cai introduced as he reached out again to take out a jade slip.
The skills like "Record of Evil Corpses" are different from the skills practiced by cultivators themselves. They are much less important, but have fewer requirements for realm.
He completed the formalities and placed the two jade slips into the formation next to him. A ray of light enveloped the two jade slips, which was to open the restriction on the jade slips through the formation.
"The jade slips cannot leave the sect. You must return them within one month!" Elder Cai reminded Li Yuanba as he handed the two jade slips.
Li Yuanba had known this for a long time. The sect was always on guard against the martial arts. Unless the cultivators memorized the skills themselves, the sect's skills would rarely leak out.
This is why the probability of finding martial arts techniques among Li Yuanba’s spoils of war is extremely low.
The monks from the big sects in the Northern Shu Continent carry with them jade slips of martial arts techniques that are either passed down by their masters, secretly recorded by themselves, or purchased from outside. In any case, the martial arts techniques in the sect’s library cannot be taken out.
However, he had obtained many complete skills from the sword cultivator Jindan Yun Xingyi. That was because Yun Xingyi's sect was relocating, so he carried the skills with him.
Of course, some extremely powerful monks in some sects will also carry important skills with them. This is because they have enough confidence in their own strength and will not leak the skills.
Li Yuanba took the two jade slips and went to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, where he received a storage bracelet containing the equipment and resources given to him by the sect.
The magic weapon is a flying sword of very average quality. This is considered a benefit for Jindan cultivators in large sects. There are four types of magic weapons to choose from, and their quality is similar.
Judging from the refining techniques, they are all the work of a master refiner, but because the third-grade materials are the lowest level, the quality of the magic weapon is also unsatisfactory.
He received this magic flying sword based on the principle of not letting it go to waste. He would decide whether to trade it or give it away in the future. Anyway, he would not sacrifice it.
He was worried that it would be a waste of his time to refine a flying sword of this quality.
The rest are third-grade spiritual fruits and spiritual tea, which are three years' worth of quotas to be collected in one go.
It seems that no matter whether it is a large sect of the righteous or evil way, their welfare is similar.
Considering that the world of immortal cultivation has been developing for tens of thousands of years, some rules have long been fixed, and it is normal that the welfare of major sects is similar.
Li Yuanba returned to the location where Wanjianfeng was before. He took out the magic weapon of Wanjianfeng. With a thought, the magic weapon of Wanjianfeng suddenly grew bigger in front of him and returned to the normal form of Wanjianfeng.
Since the magic weapon of Wanjian Peak was not used for attack, the mountain of Wanjian Peak fell gently on the ground, exactly in its original position, without the slightest difference.
He entered the mountain and the mountain protection formation was activated.
His cave and spiritual veins were all restored. Except for the Wanjian Peak being refined into a magic weapon, there was almost no difference here from before.
Of course, when he travels in the future, he can take his cave and Wanjian Peak with him, and he no longer has to worry about what other cultivators might think of Wanjian Peak.
The Wanjianfeng magic weapon also became an important magic weapon for him to protect himself, and was even the strongest magic weapon for a long time.
