Before I was about to leave, I told Elder Su that I was going to go to the sect library to receive my first cultivation technique. He nodded and suggested a few of all elements he knew were especially potent. Although I wouldn't be using them, the thought was nice. I told him I'd take them into consideration and that I'd be on my way.
You might be wondering why nobody is showing me where it is. Well, that would be quite foolish of someone to, given it is a relatively large building capable of being spotted from anywhere in the sect. It looked to be made of spirit basalt, and what appeared to be… ordinary steel?
Well, I didn't question it, as it seemed quite normal anyways, I entered, and was pleasantly surprised to see no arrogant young masters, cocky elders or hidden strong ones. It just seemed… like a normal place, surprisingly, although it was fairly noisy, with many people talking. I took a look around, seeing if there were any great cultivation methods. This IS the starting sect's library, there's sometimes some good loot for the MC, although I wasn't expecting much. I was just going to grab a generic flame cultivation technique to cover for the one I would use..
Oh wait, you must be wondering why I'm getting a cultivation technique this early, when I haven't even awakened an element. Well, considering I have a Blank Physique, and there are two options to awaken elements with it: 1. Using rare materials to make a pill that gives you a random affinity, good or bad with basically no risk or 2. Using a cultivation technique which, based on its tier and element, will give you a random affinity, and with the greatness of the cultivation technique I would be using, I would probably get a High Heaven-grade Fire Element.
Oh… I see something..?. Let's check it out. The.. Heavenly Wind Scripture? But only Mu Qingxuan had that!.. Although the novel didn't give detail on how she got it as far as I'd read.. Maybe that's how.. Well, too bad for her, it's mine now. It's absolutely amazing, and the only reason 𝘚𝘩𝘦 got it was so the author could make Xie Long keep his harem with him from area to area, and I'm going to be stopping him from getting that anyways.
A voice echoed from behind me.
''Wait, why are you here? And why do you have that?''
Shit.

[Mu Qingxuan POV]
Since Elder Ji had already told me he had the capability to awaken my physique, I decided to look around in the sect library for the Heavenly Wind Technique. Luckily, in chapter 1378, the author had finally explained how it looked like and how Mu Qingxuan had managed to get it. It was hidden in a secret compartment, and there were certain requirements for it, although I didn't remember them. I had let him know that I would be getting my first cultivation technique, and I had started walking away. I had entered the library, and saw Jiang Yi doing something. I had many suspicions about him, and he seemed like he was trying to hide it. I got closer, to the point I was right behind him. I managed to get a slight glimpse of the book he was holding..
And my jaw dropped.
''Why do you have that?''
He said, ''What do you mean? I just grabbed the wind cultivation technique over there, and I was going through it.''
''Well, then why were you hiding it?''
''The cultivation world is a dangerous place, I can't be letting people see any of my skills.''
''We are literally in our sect, what do you have to hide?''
''Nothing.''
''Then show me the technique.''
''OK.''
He pulled out a technique that looked quite similar to The Heavenly Wind Technique, you know what, I'm just going to call it the HWT, it's shorter. It was titled: Flowing Destruction. Although I still said, ''Oh, ok.'' in a normal tone, inside, I was grinning in delight. I would manage to get my hands on one of the best things in the entire webnovel, and I'd be able to put it to use this early!

Back to MC POV
I had managed to bullshit my way through a conversation with a very nosy child, whom I had a slight suspicion of knowing more than they let on. I was about to leave when I was stopped by a kid my age dressed in decent clothes.
''Halt! I am the young master of Elder A's Clan.''
Who the fuck names their child A in a xianxia world? And don't tell me.... I've encountered a young master?
''And I'm the disciple of Elder Su.''
''Well, I don't c- wait, who?''
''Elder Su, the guy who's the leader of the Zephyr Peak.''
''Wait, what? Please spare me, master.. what's your name?''
''Jiang Yi.''
''Please spare me, Master Jiang Yi! I'll become your lapdog or anything!''
Wait, he is actually sensible... Aw man, I thought I'd encountered an arrogant young master and was ready to curbstomp the shit outta him.
''I shall spare you... but only if you become my lackey.''
What, you thought I would just deal with him and ignore him forever?
I have like no reputation in the sect, and I'll need people to do things for me, even if I'll be ditching them in the future.
''I will! Thank you so much!''
''What's your name, and what peak are you in?''
''My name is A' Qiao, and I'm from the Snowy Cloud Peak.''
''Ok. I want you to go home to your peak, and come back here next week.''
He nodded and left with the few people he had brought.
I started going to my own peak, getting to my home after a long walk that this young body quite literally needed, I looked like a twig. I'd need to start exercising later..
I reached my house, got to a room nobody was in and one that I was sure people wouldn't look for randomly. I got out the Heavenly Wind Scripture, and began following the steps. I was technically already in the first cultivation realm, I had access to qi, although it was elementless.
I had to guide it through my body in a certain motion, gradually going through certain points. I had done this for a while, when I felt something coming through me. It felt quite cold. I felt my Qi changing, and I felt more in tune with it. I was excited, and hurriedly tested it out on the floor. Nothing happened to it, as it was quite strong, but, from what I noticed, the floor was VERY cold. I tested it again and paid close attention to it. Hoho, I awakened an ice-related variant of wind!
How will I hide it though...
