Putting the ancient things aside for the moment, there was no point in just guessing, so Jiang Li continued to look at the other two books.

"The Coffin Burial Technique" was once a handed-down manual of a family of corpse-driving practitioners. Later, the family fell into decline, and its descendants joined the Sutra Valley with the secret book. His skills became one of the collections here.

It is said that during the most glorious period of their family, there was a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, and this is also the practice limit of this technique.

The Ghost Wood Art was somewhat special. It was not originally created by humans, but came from an old locust tree that had been transformed into a spirit over thousands of years! According to the records, the locust tree spirit was also extremely ferocious in those days. It had turned hundreds of miles of rivers and mountains into a graveyard of death. Its cultivation level was so terrifying that it once reached the realm of earthly immortals that surpassed the Nascent Soul.

Finally, God got angry and the thousand-year-old locust tree died from lightning. People later discovered the "Ghost Wood Secret" on the remaining tree trunk.

Jiang Li's face looked a little miserable. To read these two classics, one had to lie in a coffin buried underground to practice, while the other had to sleep in a cemetery every day to practice.

After practicing, he was afraid that he would be easily hunted down and punished whenever he went out.

Moreover, he had always thought that cultivating immortality skills should be able to hold on to a book of skills and practice all the way to the level of immortals. Unexpectedly, these skills actually have an upper limit.

After sighing for a while, Jiang Li still chose "Ghost Wood Art" as his initial practice.

First of all, the level limit of "Ghost Wood Art" is obviously higher than that of "Burial Coffin Art". In addition, he couldn't stand lying in a coffin and being buried underground every day.

After choosing the technique, Jiang Li walked towards the exit of the Sutra Library. Since he had few options, only three books, he naturally chose the fastest.

At this time, most of the disciples, including Yan Hong, were still gathered in front of the bookshelf, struggling with their thoughts.

Right in front of the metal door, the old man who had opened the door for them before and Elder Weng Sanqi were sitting behind a counter in the middle, discussing which kind of spiritual wine tasted better.

"Elder, I have made my choice."

Jiang Li respectfully placed "Ghost Wood Art" on the counter and stood there waiting obediently.

After a while, the two elders behind the counter finished the wine in their glasses, then turned their eyes to Jiang Li and the books on the table.

"The Ghost Wood Art is a pretty good martial arts technique. Come here, kid!"

The elder of the Sutra Repository made a few incantations with his hands, and the pages at the back of "Ghost Wood Art" immediately spread out and became readable.

"Since you are polite, I will help you a little more."

The elder took out a long, crystal clear jade strip from somewhere under the counter and pressed it on the book of martial arts.

Countless black ink characters crawled out of the book like insects and ants, and sank into the small jade piece that was only one finger wide.

After a moment, the three words "Ghost Wood Art" appeared on the jade piece. The elder raised his hand again and pressed the cold jade piece on Jiang Li's forehead.

"Don't resist, just stay calm!"

As he had just arrived, the other party had no reason to harm him, and he did not feel any ill will, so he did not dodge and let the jade piece press on his forehead.

The next moment, a cool feeling rushed into his mind, along with a series of mysterious and complex ink-colored texts, which were deeply engraved in his memory.

"Huai! It's the ghost in the tree!"

"Its roots drink the Yellow Springs of the Nine Netherworlds! Its leaves cover the eyes of the moon in the sky!"

"When a locust tree is near a grave, it is important to have all kinds of changes, to understand the mysteries of things, to be able to see through them with the spirit, and to be easy to understand. The land is wide and connected, the trees should be dense and green, the moon should be clear and bright, the wind should be ghostly, there should be no sound of fighting in the wild, and there should be an air of disaster in all directions. Naturally, there is no nobleness and no longevity."

"The trees in the area are withered, the graves are crooked, crows are crying and beasts are trampling, the surroundings are desolate, the front and back are defective, and the ghosts who feed them are lonely, cold and filthy..."

Within a few breaths, thousands of difficult and obscure words and ten complex images all flooded into his mind.

For a moment, Jiang Li leaned his hands on the counter, his head was dizzy and he couldn't recover for a long time.

"Haha, kid! You're dizzy, that's right. You're lucky to be able to use the jade slip before you even start practicing Qi."

The voice belongs to Elder Weng Sanqi.

At this moment, he felt a gentle force pulling his shaky body up and placing it on a mat next to him.

"Once you are able to stand firmly, come and thank Elder Li."

Jiang Li held his temples and rubbed them continuously, and the feeling of dizziness was quickly fading away.

Jade slip, is that thing a jade slip? It does look very similar to the bamboo strips on ancient bamboo slips.

And just like that, he crammed thousands of words and images into his memory. This method is truly magical and powerful.

After a few minutes, the discomfort had disappeared.

He suddenly remembered something and opened his personal panel with his mind. Sure enough, the words [Ghost Wood Technique Qi Training Level 0] had appeared in the column of skills.

So there is only the Qi training chapter?

Slightly disappointed, he opened his eyes and found that there were many more young men around him, humming and copying books.

It seems that other people don't have the same treatment as him.

That's not right. Those disciples with superior spiritual roots were just like him before, sitting crookedly on the cushions with their brows frowned and their hands on their foreheads. They should have also been instilled with the skills by the jade slips.

"Thank you, Elder Li! Thank you, Elder Weng!"

Jiang Li stepped forward again and bowed. This jade slip contained the skills and a detailed explanation of the skills, which at least saved him several days of hard study.

Compared with those teenagers who are still copying books and are anxious because they don’t even recognize the words, they are indeed getting a great advantage.

"Well, this is your first month's Outer Sect monthly salary. You can go to the Outer Sect Internal Affairs Hall to collect it in the middle of each month."

"Don't miss the weekly training classes at the Outer Sect University Hall. Go back and practice well."

The two elders nodded, not paying much attention to his thanks. After Weng Sanqi threw out a cloth bag, he gave him a final reminder and sent him back.

Jiang Li waited outside the door for a few minutes, and soon Yan Hong also came out of the Sutra Library. The two of them walked back to the outer gate area in a low-key manner.

Returning to their own small building, they both opened their cloth bags and placed all the contents on the table.

The bottle was not full. I looked at the label, poured out the pills and counted them. There were ten Qi-nourishing pills and ten Qi-recovering pills.

【Name: Nourishing Qi Pill】

【Type: Pill】

[Rank: Yellow Rank Lower]

【Note: It can help with cultivation. 】

【Name: Qi-restoring Pill】

【Type: Pill】

[Rank: Yellow Rank Lower]

【Note: It can replenish spiritual energy. 】

As expected, they were all lower-grade yellow elixirs.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Looking at Yan Hong on the opposite side, his monthly allowance is five spirit stones, twenty nourishing energy pills and twenty recovering energy pills, which is nearly twice as much as Jiang Li.

This treatment is indeed far from what it should be.

"Jiang Li, these are for you!"

Yan Hong took out a spirit stone, five nourishing pills and five recovering pills from his monthly salary and pushed them in front of Jiang Li.

This means sharing resources equally with Jiang Li.

In the early stages of cultivation, everyone was penniless and every bit of resource was extremely precious. Jiang Li was really touched that Yan Hong could do this.

However, the quantity of pills does not really mean much to him.

"No, thanks."

"My skills are quite special, and my demand for resources is different from that of ordinary disciples."

"And didn't we agree that the group would split the profits in half? I won't be polite then."

Yan Hong wanted to say something else, but Jiang Li did not refuse directly. Instead, he said that the resources required were different, so he had to give up.

"Well, if I leave you behind too much, don't come crying to me and regret it."

"Go away! You'll be the one crying then!"

After bragging and chatting for a while, the two of them parted ways. They were both eager to try practicing for the first time.

Sitting cross-legged with his five hearts facing the sky, Jiang Li assumed the posture he used when practicing martial arts.

Then he slowly visualized in his mind according to the description and patterns in the exercise.

A seed slowly emerged in his mind, a locust tree seed with a gray-brown surface and a tiny crack on the edge.

A quarter of an hour... half an hour... an hour later, Jiang Li let out a long breath, and felt as if his whole body was about to become stiff.

If you fail, you are still a long way from getting started with "Ghost Wood Art".

He has experience as an internal martial artist in controlling internal energy, so it should be much easier for him to feel spiritual energy than for others.

But after sitting cross-legged for a long time, I could only feel a vague feeling, and I couldn't grasp that feeling no matter how hard I tried.

It is true that everything is difficult at the beginning.

He now really wanted to eat all ten Qi-nourishing Pills and then continue practicing.

However, the martial arts manual records that it is best to cultivate the first wisp of ghost wood spiritual energy by oneself. If the first breath of spiritual energy is impure with the help of external forces, there will be many hidden dangers in the future.

I looked outside and it was still early. Cultivating immortals requires wealth, friends, methods and land, as well as the right time, right place and people.

The current time and environment are obviously not suitable for practicing the "Ghost Wood Art" with Yin Wood attributes. It seems that we should wait until night.

. . .

Putting aside his cultivation for the moment, he ran to the window and casually looked around. It was the first day and everyone was trying to cultivate, so no one was running around.

Jiang Li was very satisfied with this. He closed all the doors and windows, then took out a handkerchief from his arms.

This was a token of love given to him by a young girl who was traveling with him in a motorcade, but he still didn't know the girl's name.

When he untied the handkerchief, a palm-sized flat stone rolled out and hit the wooden table, spinning around.

[Name: Hidden Stone]

【Type: Miscellaneous】

【Contents: Unknown】

【Note: See if curiosity will kill you this time. 】

This was the stone he had picked up during his journey.

Those scaly monsters had been hiding it, especially the albino scaly monster, who seemed to be very interested in this thing. He guessed that it must be something very important.

He remained silent for such a long time, and now he finally waited for a safe environment to open the stone.
