"The Grand Cloud Mountain has been too chaotic recently, so the floating Immortal City is more stable," Yue Wanling nodded her head.
"Indeed."
After that, he chatted with Yue Wanling for a while and also checked her data.
[ Yue Wanling ]
[ Cultivation: Late-stage of Qi Refinement realm ]
[ Cultivation technique: ??? ]
[ Martial arts techniques: Snow-Treading Wind, Thunderbolt Spell, Dark Ice sword technique, Heart-Clearing Spell, Heavenly Spirit Body Protection Spell, Disguise Technique ... ]
Cheng Xu was stunned by all kinds of cool martial arts and spells, especially the cultivation method that even the system couldn't recognize.
Cheng Xu wanted to ask her about her cultivation methods, but it didn't seem appropriate to ask so out of the blue.
"By the way, fairy, I've just made some Qi-gathering elixirs. Do you need them?" After all, she was a regular customer of his.
Yue Wanling was surprised. "Fellow Daoist Cheng, you can already make Qi-gathering elixirs?"
"I've only just mastered the refinement of Qi-gathering elixirs."
"The price of Qi-gathering elixirs isn't low. How many Qi-gathering elixirs do you have, Fellow Daoist?"
"Ten elixirs."
"I should be able to take ten, " Yue Wanling said somewhat hesitantly as she seemed to be considering. "Can you let me see how they look first?"
Cheng Xu smiled and handed over a Qi-gathering elixir.
"Mid-grade Qi-gathering elixir?" Yue Wanling was startled. "Is this what you meant by just mastered the technique of it, Fellow Daoist? " she asked.
"Maybe I'm just more talented in alchemy." Cheng Xu smiled innocently.
Yue Wanling gave Cheng Xu a meaningful look. In the end, she bought the 10 Qi-gathering elixirs for 240 spirit stones each.
After the matter was done, he returned to the quiet room and started to cultivate.
With 2,400 spirit stones in his hands, Cheng Xu was satisfied. He was ready to make a trip to the Medicine Immortal Valley to continue reading the alchemy books in the library cave and ask his master for some medicinal knowledge.
...
When he arrived at the Medicine Immortal Valley, he wanted to go and greet his master first, but he saw Perfected Chi Yao immersed in refining medicinal pills.
In order not to disturb his master's refining, Cheng Xu quietly left the cave abode and turned to look for his Junior Brother, Miao Changsheng.
Just as he came out of the cave, he bumped into an excited Miao Changsheng.
"Senior Brother, you're here too. Look at what changes I've made." Miao Changsheng said excitedly.
Cheng Xu took a closer look and couldn't help but be shocked."The peak of the Qi refinement stage?"
"Hahaha, that's right! I thought it would be hard to cultivate, " Miao Changsheng laughed. "It turns out that it's just so simple."
"Tsk, tsk, then I really have to congratulate you, Junior Brother!"
"With Senior Brother's talent, it's only a matter of time before you break through to the peak of the Qi refinement stage." Miao Changsheng smiled and prepared to enter the cave to tell Perfected Chi Yao the good news.
Cheng Xu hurriedly stopped him. "Don't, you can tell Master about it later. He is refining elixirs now."
"Uh, alright." Miao Changsheng quickly stopped in his tracks. I've just made a breakthrough, and I'm going to the library to pick out some books on martial arts and spells. Do you want to come with me? "
"What a coincidence, I was just about to head to the library cave."
The two of them hit it off and went straight to the library cave.
Perhaps it was because of the competition a month later, but the upper level of the library cave, which usually had no visitors, was now particularly lively.
After wandering around the upper level for a long time, Miao Changsheng could not find a suitable one.
On the other hand, Cheng Xu had found the complete three-layered formula for [ Protective Dipper energy ].
It took 100 contribution points to open the restriction outside the Protective Dipper energy technique. Cheng Xu did not have enough for the time being, but Miao Changsheng was rich. "Tell me which inheritance you like."
"Thank you so much, Junior Brother."
"We're family, so there's no need to thank me." Miao Changsheng chuckled and used his identity token to open the restriction for Cheng Xu.
At the same time, the cultivation computer had also successfully identified the method of the Protective Dipper energy.
Because Cheng Xu had already mastered one layer of the skill formula, he only needed to cover and install it. In just a few seconds, he had successfully installed it. Just like that, he had easily comprehended the third realm of the Protective Dipper energy.
At the same time that his defensive ability was greatly improved, his true Qi consumption had also been reduced by a lot.
"This floor only has some ordinary martial arts and spiritual spells. Let's go to the second floor and take a look."
Cheng Xu quietly closed the restriction and went up to the second floor with Miao Changsheng.
Not long after he reached the upper second floor, Miao Changsheng found a fist technique that he liked. He happily made a copy of the technique on a jade slip and prepared to slowly study it when he returned.
On the other hand, Cheng Xu found a few ancient books on martial arts theory, each of which was only 60 contribution points, which was quite cheap.
Thus, he decisively borrowed Miao Changsheng's identity token and downloaded the four ancient books of martial arts theory into the cultivation computer. His knowledge and understanding of martial arts instantly rose to a new level.
The power of martial arts skills also rose with the tide.
"Eh? isn't that Senior Sister Jian?" As Miao Changsheng continued to stroll around, his eyes inadvertently fell on a young beauty with a cold temperament. "You're still studying the 'Mystic Water technique'? Are you bent on mastering it or what?"
Cheng Xu cast a puzzled look at her. "Senior Sister from which branch? "
"She's Uncle Master Ma's eldest disciple, Jian Yuxiang. Although she's not good at refining medicine, her cultivation aptitude is outstanding. "According to what Master said, Senior Brother Tang will be defeated by this girl sooner or later," Miao Changsheng introduced.
Cheng Xu muttered to himself and nodded, secretly taking note of this competitor.
"By the way, is the Mystic Water technique very powerful?"
"It is strong, but it is also profound. Our Medicine Immortal Valley has been passed down for thousands of years. Other than the first few generations of ancestors, the number of disciples who have mastered the Mystic Water technique can be counted with one hand. However, Senior Sister Jian managed to master it last year," Miao Changsheng said. "Uncle Master Ma was so happy that he would praise Senior Sister Jian every time he saw her. It's a pity that Senior Sister Jian's Mystic Water technique has been stuck at the first realm."
"Interesting. I like a tough challenge!"
The corners of Cheng Xu's mouth curled up, and he couldn't help but be interested.
"No way, Senior Brother. You also want to practice the Mystic Water technique?" Miao Changsheng's eyes widened in shock. "Trust me, the Mystic Water technique is not something a normal person can comprehend."
Cheng Xu didn't say anything. He silently moved behind Jian Yuxiang.
Jian Yuxiang, who was seriously comprehending the Mystic Water technique, clearly sensed that there was someone behind her. She turned her head back with her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Uh, Senior Sister, please continue. I'll just watch and not say anything." Cheng Xu was smiling.
"You are...?" Jian Yuxiang looked at Miao Changsheng, who had followed her in, and asked in realization, "The new in-name junior brother that Uncle Master Chi Yao has taken in?"
"I'm Cheng Xu." Cheng Xu smiled and nodded. He did not expect this girl to have heard of him, an in-name disciple. "I heard that Senior Sister Jian is a genius, so I came to pay you a visit."
Jian Yuxiang nodded her head indifferently and ignored Cheng Xu.
At this time, Cheng Xu had inconspicuously read the data of the Mystic Water technique and was patiently waiting for the loading bar to be installed. The key was that he had saved some contribution points.
Judging from the installation speed and the 24.5MB file size, the Mystic Water technique was indeed not simple.
However, to him, no matter how difficult it was, it was just a matter of waiting for the installation progress bar.
Seeing that Cheng Xu had been staring at Jian Yuxiang's back, Miao Changsheng thought that Cheng Xu was interested in Jian Yuxiang, so he tactfully turned to another place and continued to look for martial arts and spiritual spells.
"Ah~ it's been almost an hour, right?"
Cheng Xu looked at the installation progress bar that was about to finish and laughed in his heart.
Because from the moment he stood there, Jian Yuxiang's gaze had been on the second realm of the Mystic Water technique. An hour had passed, but she hadn't even turned a page!
"Ding! The installation is successful."
As soon as the system notification appeared, the complete technique and the profound meaning of using the Mystic Water technique appeared clearly in Cheng Xu's mind.
There were a total of three realms, and the power would increase significantly with each realm.
Seeing that Jian Yuxiang was stuck on that page, Cheng Xu couldn't help but remind her, "Ahem… Ahem… I don't know if Senior Sister has ever heard of the saying, people always strive for better and look forward while water flows downwards."
"What?" Jian Yuxiang didn't know what was going on and turned back to look at Cheng Xu. She seemed to be a little angry.
However, Cheng Xu had already turned around and swaggered away.
Jian Yuxiang turned her head back in anger. When she looked at the technique in front of her again, she was suddenly stunned. Her eyes lit up and she remarked, "Water flows downwards. Water flows downwards. Could it be that he wants his true Qi to flow downwards and imitate the flow of water?"
Thinking of this, she eagerly wanted to try it out.
…
"It's fine, Senior Brother. Although Senior Sister Jian's personality is a bit cold, she's still quite a good person."
Miao Changsheng winked at Cheng Xu when he saw him.
Cheng Xu was confused. "What's this? What's going on? "
"Hehe~ Senior Brother, don't pretend. You just stood there for so long and your eyes were peeled onto Senior Sister Jian the entire time. You barely read the technique, so you're obviously more interested in Senior Sister Jian ~!"
"…"
Cheng Xu rolled his eyes. "What are you thinking about? let's go up to the third floor and take a look!"
In all honesty, it wasn't that he didn't want to look at the Mystic Water technique, but that he didn't need to.
It could only be said that being too powerful was also a kind of trouble, and it would easily cause misunderstandings.
"Alright, alright, alright."
Miao Changsheng chuckled as he followed him. As he went up, he didn't forget to look back at Jian Yuxiang. A sheepish smile appeared on his face.
The upper three levels of the library cave were not very big, but the martial arts books and records inside were basically all exuding an ancient aura.
"This level is basically filled with the inheritances collected and left behind by the first generation of the Medicine Immortal Valley's patriarchs," Miao Changsheng explained. "It's a pity that many of the inheritances seem to be too profound and difficult to understand now. "
"To be able to leave behind so many high-quality inheritances, it seems that the first-generation ancestors are not weak!"
"Not only were they not weak, but the Medicine Immortal Valley was also glorious in the past, okay? It's just that the later generations were not as good as the previous ones," Miao Changsheng said. "It was only later that they started to focus on alchemy."
"Is that so?"
While Cheng Xu was secretly surprised, his gaze was inadvertently attracted by a black stone tablet in the center of the third floor.
The stone tablet was engraved with dense and mysterious characters, and it exuded a unique aura.
However, that was not the main point. The main point was that the system option [ Read ] was floating above the stone tablet.
"That stone tablet is…?"
"You mean that?" Miao Changsheng explained, "That is a stone tablet left behind by the founder of the sect. It is said that there is some kind of mysterious and powerful inheritance hidden in it. Unfortunately, other than the founder, no one has been able to understand the true meaning of it."
Cheng Xu took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement in his heart. He strode to the stone tablet and pretended to comprehend it.
This was a familiar plot and routine.
Wasn't this the kind of treatment that the main character of a novel would love to enjoy?
It was a peerless martial art that had been lost for a long time. No one else except the protagonist could understand it.
"Senior Brother, you..." Miao Changsheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. Just as he was about to go up and persuade him to leave, a faint emerald light suddenly appeared on the dark stone tablet. "What the hell! No way!"
