After Cheng Xujing left, Zhang Yuhe remained standing there, lost in thought.
Without considering whether one can learn it, the stronger the supernatural power, the better.
Speed-related supernatural abilities are especially important to him.
Zhang Yuhe originally thought that since he didn't have many merits, he could just find a couple of supernatural abilities in the library to learn and make do with them. He would consider changing to other supernatural abilities after accumulating enough merits in the future.
However, Cheng Xujing told him that the Scripture Tower possessed a powerful escape technique that only required 100 merit points.
This put him in a dilemma.
Having switched to this Heavenly Desolate Flying Immortal Technique, he no longer had time to switch to other supernatural abilities.
In that case, he'll only have one sword formation and one escape technique. Won't that be a bit insufficient?
"Fine, I'll choose the Heavenly Desolation Flying Immortal Technique."
After careful consideration, Zhang Yuhe finally made up his mind, mainly because he felt that speed was too important.
As for attack and defense, the Nine Heavens Primordial Sword Formation is a combination of offense and defense, which should be sufficient for the time being.
Moreover, he possesses numerous skills, allowing him to craft more magical artifacts, draw more talismans, and prepare array plates for self-defense.
After making up his mind, Zhang Yuhe quickly went to the scripture hall.
The same long-bearded old man was still guarding outside the scripture hall.
This time, however, the long-bearded old man was not writing. Instead, he closed his eyes and sat quietly on the bench.
Zhang Yuhe quickly stepped forward and called out softly.
"Senior, I would like to exchange for a divine power."
The old man opened his cloudy eyes impatiently, and only after recognizing Zhang Yuhe did he suddenly shout.
"It's you again, you little rascal."
A century has passed, but he still remembers Zhang Yuhe. It was this straightforward young man who refused to praise his calligraphy.
And he stubbornly chose the Hunyuan Heavenly Scripture. Is this something that a human can learn?
Suddenly, the old man sensed that Zhang Yuhe was emanating the aura of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and he was utterly astonished.
How long has it been?
One hundred years?
How can someone cultivate from the Qi Refining stage to the late Nascent Soul stage in just a hundred years?
"Could I have misread it?"
The old man instantly stood up from the bench and looked Zhang Yuhe over carefully, making Zhang Yuhe feel a little uneasy.
After confirming that he hadn't misread it, the old man took a deep breath and then asked calmly.
"You can choose which supernatural power you want to switch to."
After saying that, he tossed out a booklet, which was thicker than the one used to select cultivation techniques last time.
Zhang Yuhe quickly picked up the booklet and looked at it. It contained descriptions of various supernatural abilities, all of which were Heaven-rank supernatural abilities.
It contains various attack and defense abilities of all attributes, and even a number of high-grade Heaven-rank abilities. Judging from the descriptions, these abilities are incredibly powerful, making him quite envious.
Unfortunately, he didn't have enough merit points. A high-grade Heavenly Rank divine ability requires 500 merit points, and a mid-grade Heavenly Rank divine ability requires 200 merit points. He only had 100 merit points, which was just enough to exchange for a low-grade Heavenly Rank divine ability.
When Zhang Yuhe flipped to the end, he found only one escape technique, the Heavenly Desolate Flying Immortal Technique. The rest were mostly offensive techniques, with a few defensive ones as well, but not many.
There's no other choice but to pick this one.
Zhang Yuhe handed the booklet back and then said respectfully.
"Senior, I would like to exchange for this Heavenly Desolate Flying Immortal Technique."
Upon hearing Zhang Yuhe's choice, the old man gestured, and a stream of light flew out from the scripture tower, then landed in the old man's hand.
It was a golden jade slip.
The old man handed over the jade slip and then said calmly.
"Look around here, then leave. Give me your identity jade token."
Zhang Yuhe took the jade slip and immediately handed over his identity jade token.
He probed the jade slip with his divine sense and saw a picture of an immortal about to take flight.
The immortal in the picture appears to be still, but upon closer inspection, it can be seen that the immortal's position is constantly changing.
Is this a stealth technique?
That's teleportation, isn't it?
Zhang Yuhe was somewhat surprised when he saw the image of the immortal in the jade slip.
The scene flashed by, followed by the cultivation method of the Heavenly Desolate Flying Immortal Technique.
"That's how it is."
After reading the contents of the jade slip, Zhang Yuhe had some insights.
No wonder the immortals in the picture appear to be still, yet they appear in different places.
This is not teleportation, but an extremely fast speed, fast enough to deceive human perception.
"This is a good deal."
He was very satisfied with this escape technique.
After reading it, Zhang Yuhe handed the jade slip back to the long-bearded old man.
"Senior, I've finished reading it."
"Hurry up and leave after you've finished watching."
The old man handed the identity jade token back to him, and then said somewhat impatiently.
Zhang Yuhe cupped his hands in greeting to the old man, then transformed into a streak of light and flew into the distance.
After he left, the old man quickly took out a jade tablet, pointed to it, and then spoke.
"Old Ghost Lu, do you remember that kid who entered the inner sect with the token?"
In a grand hall deep within the sect, Elder Lu, who was cultivating, suddenly sensed something.
He took out the jade tablet to examine it.
"Hey, why is Old Ghost Fang talking about that kid? Could it be that the kid thinks his handwriting is ugly again?"
Elder Lu pointed and then spoke.
“I remember. What’s wrong, Old Ghost Fang? Did that kid say your handwriting was ugly again? Haha, I’m not trying to be mean, but with your handwriting that’s so bad it’s almost invisible, don’t embarrass yourself by showing it off.”
"Nonsense, I haven't picked up a pen in a hundred years."
"Oh? Then why did you suddenly bring up that kid again?"
"Do you know what level that kid is at now?"
