"Sir, how are you?"

Shen Yuan's sudden appearance in the courtyard scared the Maine Coon cat. The changes in the spatial level were too far away for a cat demon in the Qi Transformation Realm, and it had no way of perceiving it at all.

"It's just a slight improvement."

Shen Yuan responded casually, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Hu Tian's magical power has reached a high level, completely getting rid of the embarrassing situation of single means in the early stage, and has become more flexible and diverse on the spatial level.

Even if Shen Yuan does not rely on spiritual objects now, he can create a small storage space in his sleeves, pockets and the like that can be maintained for a short period of time.

Moreover, Shen Yuan, who has mastered the Hutian supernatural power, can actively create some small space cracks even if he is in the outside world.

Although its lethality is not outstanding, it is convenient.

Shen Yuan also has a deep understanding of the production of space grenades. Using the same material, the explosion range of the space grenades made by Shen Yuan will be larger.

Of course, these are essentially just details. What really makes Shen Yuan extremely excited is the ability he just used.

Teleport!

Theoretically speaking, this is an ability that only the True Lord Lianxu who can break through the void can use, forcibly breaking through the boundaries of space to complete long-distance jumps.

The Hu Tian supernatural power that has reached the master level is naturally unable to perform true teleportation, but Shen Yuan can achieve it through some tricks.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan looked at the secret place where he was.

Since the prototype of this secret realm was born from the Hu Tian magical power, the cave order and subsequent expansion were ultimately the results of the Hu Tian magical power.

Shen Yuan, who possesses the Hutian magical power, can completely control this secret realm.

Being in the secret realm, Shen Yuan's spatial affinity has been greatly increased, and he can easily complete spatial teleportation.

Being able to cross space with just a thought, this ability completely surpasses what can be achieved at the current spiritual energy tide stage.

And the uses of teleportation are not limited to this.

With a thought, Shen Yuan stretched out his right hand and sank his palm into the space. When Shen Yuan pulled back his right hand, he already had a bag of dried fish that Bai Xue had hidden in the drawer.

Shen Yuan's eyes can see through all the spaces in the secret realm, and he can get anything he wants just by stretching out his hand.

Being in a secret realm, it seems that anything can be accomplished with just a thought.

Different from the extremely powerful and difficult to control power of the Rain-Calling Divine Ability, everything in this secret realm belongs to Shen Yuan. The feeling of having everything under control makes Shen Yuan a little obsessed.

At this moment, a slightly heavy sound coming from his arm woke Shen Yuan from his trance.

Snow White had jumped onto him at some point and was waving her little white paws to try to snatch the dried fish snacks from his hands.

Watching Bai Xue trying hard to climb onto his right hand, Shen Yuan's feeling that everything was under control suddenly disappeared.

Looking around the entire secret courtyard, the independent space that originally covered an area of ​​more than 200 square meters has expanded more than ten times, but it is still pitifully small compared to the size of the secret realm.

Even if Shen Yuan in the secret realm could really control everything, it wouldn't make much sense in such a small place.

"It's just a secret realm. Once the tide of spiritual energy rolls down, I'm afraid there won't be even a little room for resistance.

Everything in the secret realm is just auxiliary means after all, only the power under one's control is the core."

With this thought in mind, Shen Yuan reached out and picked off the white snow that was climbing up randomly, and returned the dried fish he had taken out from her secret stash to her.

Bai Xue glanced at Shen Yuan angrily, then ran briskly to the Tiansheng Spirit Pond with a dried fish in her mouth, as if she wanted to share her private collection of delicious snacks with the dragon carp.

Shen Yuan couldn't help but twitch his eyes when he saw this, but the stupid son of a certain Dragon Lord family didn't seem to realize what Bai Xue had brought over, and he kept opening his mouth wide to try what the dried fish tasted like.

In this regard, Shen Yuan could only comfort himself:

"The dragon carp is a mirage dragon, not a fish. It has turned into a carp just because it has not grown up yet. Eating small dried fish does not count as cannibalism."

Shen Yuan watched for a while, then turned around and went back into the room.

The rewards for the third round of novice guidance have been collected and used, and Shen Yuan has completely completed the novice mission.

According to the system, the next step is to enter the main and side quests, which will give Shen Yuan more choices.

Although Shen Yuan is more inclined to complete the rewards brought by hidden achievements, hidden achievements are ultimately hard to come by, so it is still necessary to complete some main and side quests during this period.

After opening the system interface, Shen Yuan's eyes fell on the task column on the interface.

As the novice guidance was completed, a clear string of main task fonts appeared in Shen Yuan's sight.

Main quest: Cultivate a hundred arts!

Immortal Cultivation Arts: As a cultivator, how can the host not have a skill? Learning a good Immortal Cultivation Arts can make the host stand out among many disciples and become the backbone of Luoyun Sect.

Mission requirements: Please go to the Sutra Library and choose one of the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation to learn. The more types of Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation you learn, the richer the rewards you will get.

Shen Yuan looked at the task prompt in front of him and was stunned.

Shen Yuan also learned a lot of relevant information about the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation from Luoyun Sect's diary. Generally speaking, after a cultivator reaches a certain level of cultivation, their advancement begins to slow down.

In addition, higher-level practitioners require more resources, which are difficult to provide by the sect alone, so they often delve into some cultivation techniques to obtain resources for themselves.

The skills of cultivating immortals are mainly divided into six categories: refining equipment, refining elixirs, formations, talismans, spiritual plants, and puppets.

Under these six categories, various different branches can be extended. If they are divided in detail, there are as many as hundreds of them. This is what the cultivation world calls the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation.

In fact, he didn't have much objection to Shen Yuan learning these cultivation skills in the main mission. Anyway, there was no hard requirement to study them to a certain level of proficiency, so he could just muddle through and complete the main mission.

But the problem now is

"I don't even have any introductory books on cultivating the Hundred Arts of Immortals, how can I learn?

Besides, I still need to study in the Sutra Library, so where can I get the Sutra Library from?"

Shen Yuan was a little dumbfounded. This Sutra Library was different from the sect’s spirit pond.

To put it bluntly, the sect's spirit pond is an imitation of a natural spirit pond. If Shen Yuan snatched a natural spirit pond and moved it back, it could be considered the sect's spirit pond.

However, it is not necessarily possible for an ordinary force like the Sutra Repository to be built. Even if there is one, it is a forbidden area of ​​the sect and outsiders are strictly prohibited from accessing it.

"I can't possibly attack another sect and empty out the Sutra Library, right?"

"Whether or not I have the ability to do so is not important. If I really act like this, it will be too ostentatious and will definitely become a target of public criticism."

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan couldn't help but feel a little troubled.

Just when Shen Yuan was at a loss, a black luxury car slowly drove towards the courtyard where Shen Yuan was outside the old city.

Fu Hua was driving the car, skillfully traveling through these remote alleys. A lazy-looking young man in a black jacket was yawning out of boredom in the passenger seat.

"Uncle, how many times have you brought me here in the past few days?

Every time I go there, I say I'm going to see that so-called expert, but every time I never see him, is this expert you're talking about reliable or not?"

The young man's words made Fu Hua's face darken.

"Mingzhi, don't be rude to Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen is a true hermit. Even your grandfather admires him. You'd better put your little thoughts aside."

Xue Mingzhi curled his lips in disdain, not taking Fu Hua's words to heart, and spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"Uncle, what era is this?

The Imperial Observatory recruited heroes from all over the world and made public the many methods it had collected over thousands of years, including several magical powers. Such treatment made countless practitioners salivate.

Anyone who has the chance to enter the Imperial Observatory would have already fought for it. There isn't even a decent spiritual vein in Wencheng, so how could there be any hermit masters?"

When Fu Hua heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Xue Mingzhi was his sister's eldest son and a direct descendant of the Xue family, the hereditary Earl Changyuan of the imperial capital. He was extremely outstanding in both family background and talent, except for one thing: he was too arrogant.

Having witnessed the most prosperous place for cultivation during the spiritual energy tide in the imperial capital, he naturally looked down on rural places like Wencheng.

Xue Mingzhi came to Wencheng this time because the Xue family heard that Mr. Fu had successfully entered the door of cultivation and wanted to send Xue Mingzhi to actively win over Mr. Fu.

It is extremely difficult for a martial artist with a golden elixir to cross the threshold and become a practitioner, and he cannot have any external help.

But once you cross it, the sky will be wide and the sea will be vast, and it is not impossible to achieve a great master in the future.

Even though the Changyuanbo Xue family has some reputation in the imperial capital, a future great monk who has reached the state of incarnation is still a rare help.

Xue Mingzhi's purpose this time was to invite Mr. Fu to the Xue family to become a worshiper. Because of the kinship relationship, the Xue family offered extremely generous conditions.

However, Mr. Fu refused very straightforwardly, which disappointed the entire Xue family. But they did not force it too much and chose to continue to build relationships.

For this purpose, the Xue family also solved some important problems for Fu Hua and took the initiative to help Fu Hua bid for several precious spiritual objects and classics.

Old Master Fu also felt the Xue family's sincerity and decided to return the favor. He asked Fu Hua to take Xue Mingzhi and those spiritual creatures to ask for an audience with Shen Yuan.

But in the past three days, Fu Hua failed to meet Shen Yuan despite several visits, which also aroused Xue Mingzhi's inherent arrogance.

In his opinion, even if Mr. Shen was recognized by Mr. Fu, he was at best just a small country monk and was not worthy of being in public.

Only a small family like the Fu family, which developed from a remote area, would be easily fooled by Shen Yuan's methods.

"If I get a chance later, I will definitely expose this so-called hermit master."

Such a thought flashed through Xue Mingzhi's mind.

Then, the car slowly stopped in front of the gate of the courtyard.
