Chapter 31 - A Complete Mental Breakdown

A Complete Mental Breakdown

Countless disciples outside the resource hall were looking forward to the results. When they saw the first level of the Linglong Pagoda gradually lit up, they could not help but cheer.

Every time the resource hall opened, the time limit for obtaining cultivation techniques was two hours. It was not that the sect was stingy and did not allow the disciples to explore for a while longer. It was just that as time passed, the omnipresent pressure would become stronger.

If they could not hold on, then what awaited them was the damage to their soul and the destruction of their foundation.

The faster one moved forward, the stronger one's ability to withstand pressure would be. In other words, it was a display of one's strength.

To everyone's surprise, Nan Shan had passed the first level so quickly. There was less than a quarter of an hour that passed!

"First Elder, do you think that he left after casually skimming for a while?" Jiang Congshuang was guarding the door of the hall. Even though she tried her best to hide it, she could not help but show her worry.

"I've made so many plans that I forgot to tell him this. Most ordinary disciples would be shocked when they enter the resource hall for the first time. There are countless cultivation techniques in front of them for them to choose from. They would try it out no matter what.

"The level of a cultivation technique is actually far less important than its compatibility with one's body. Sigh, I wonder if he can find the most suitable cultivation technique for him."

The First Elder lowered his voice and whispered to Jiang Congshuang.

The two of them had a good impression of Nan Shan. In addition, they had a drink together last night and their relationship had become closer.

No matter what happened in the outside world, Nan Shan, who was in the resource hall, finally stepped onto the second floor while enduring the pressure that was so strong that it was almost tangible.

The Linglong Pagoda was the widest on the first floor, and the higher one went, the smaller it became. The second floor was about one-third smaller than the first floor, and there were not as many cultivation techniques in it.

The two floors extended along the wall. On the stone bookshelves, there were cultivation methods laid out. Beside each cultivation method, there was a simple description.

Not only did it contain the analysis of the technique, but it also contained information about the person who compiled the technique.

They were all placed together. Nan Shan looked over and saw that there were at most a thousand cultivation methods on the second floor.

Compared to the library on the first floor, it was very different.

He calculated the time limit in his mind and quickly browsed through it.

It had to be said that the second level of the cultivation method was indeed much better than the first level. The highest number of soul tremors in his hand actually reached five times, but there was still a big gap compared to nine times.

"There's no cultivation method here that I want. Could it really be on the third floor? Senior Sister Jiang said that her opportunities are hard to come by, and that's probably why."

Nan Shan had already made up his mind. He did not waste any more time on the second floor and turned to the stairs leading to the third floor.

The stairs on this level were also very different from the previous two levels. They were black and gray in color, and although they were made of stone, they had a faint metallic luster.

The surface of the steps was extremely delicate, like a mirror reflecting Nan Shan's face.

With one step, his muscles instantly tensed up, and even a layer of faint golden light appeared on the surface of his body.

That kind of pressure had already reached the point of no return. If it was an in-name disciple who came over, he would probably have been directly crushed into a meat paste.

The moment he stepped on the steps, his instinct was faster than his thoughts. Nan Shan directly summoned the Golden Bell shield.

In the face of pure physical attacks, Admiralty Cover was still very practical. It consumed little energy and had great defense. The area it covered was also divided into multiple areas, even the eyeballs could be protected.

With the protection of the Golden Bell shield, Nan Shan walked up to the third floor.

Immediately, his vision was filled with gold and jade. The layout of this third floor was like a luxurious palace.

The floor was made of glass, and the ceiling was hung with gorgeous and exquisite crystal lamps. Each cultivation method had its own mahogany box, which was padded with soft silk.

There was even a faint fragrance in the air that lingered around the tip of one's nose, making one instinctively relax.

After stepping on it, the glazed floor under his feet lit up with a soft glimmer, and walking in it was like being in a paradise among the clouds.

Coupled with the five elements aura emitted by the cultivation technique itself, even the spiritual Qi was much stronger than the outside world.

"No wonder the First Elder of the resource hall is respected by so many people. It's because he has the most wealth."

Nan Shan mumbled to himself. This time, he slowed down and picked up the cultivation methods in the mahogany box to read carefully.

After looking at half of the circle, Nan Shan paused for a moment and could not help but feel a little disappointed.

Each of these three levels of cultivation methods could be considered the world's most precious treasures, but the degree of compatibility with him was not high. At most, his soul trembled six times, still far from the number of extreme nine.

Suddenly, he noticed that in the middle of the room, a ball of misty and moist air was lingering around one of the cultivation methods.

It was as if a naughty little fish was blowing bubbles on it. Compared to the images that appeared on other cultivation techniques, it was much more agile.

Nan Shan had a rough guess in his heart. He walked up to take a look and a trace of joy finally appeared in his eyes.

"Isn't this what it means to find something without any effort?"

As he spoke, he picked up the cultivation technique. His mind trembled violently, and then it trembled six more times.

"The water element cultivation method can actually make my soul tremble seven times. It seems that my compatibility with this cultivation method can be considered quite high."

Holding the water element cultivation method in his hand, Nan Shan still did not give up. He tried all the cultivation methods on the third floor.

In the end, other than the water element mantra and another Sky Thunder incantation that caused his mind to tremble seven times, the other cultivation techniques did not exceed this number at all.

"It can only make my soul tremble seven times. It can't be compared with the system. I might as well take this opportunity to complete the investment mission on Senior Sister Jiang. The return on investing in a cultivation method is usually a cultivation method. Senior Sister Jiang's return is a hundred times. Maybe I can exchange it for something more suitable for me."

Nan Shan had made up his mind. Seeing that the two hour time limit was almost up, he did not delay any longer. He took a Book of Water element cultivation method and leisurely walked downstairs.

When he arrived at the bottom level, the door of the resource hall seemed to sense him and opened automatically.

The strong sunlight shone in and Nan Shan could not help but squint.

In just a short while, countless cries of alarm came in wave after wave, and there were even cries and curses as if they were about to collapse. This gave Nan Shan a solid fright.

"Why did he pick out the water element cultivation technique from the third level!"

"Maybe the five elemental spiritual veins are different from what we think?"

"For something like the water element cultivation method, so what if it's the five elements spiritual pulse! Can you still cultivate flowers?"

"That's right, the water spirit heart technique is cultivated alone, and the upper limit is so low that it's unsightly!"

"If I remember correctly, only female cultivators can cultivate this kind of pure Water-type cultivation technique, right?"
