Deciding to act on his thoughts, Li Xun didn't hesitate and began to stroll on the fifth floor.
Soon, he spotted a junior disciple in a corner holding two cultivation techniques, looking troubled and indecisive.
At the sight of this junior disciple, Li Xun's eyes lit up because a faint white light surrounded him.
Even though the glow was dim, it confirmed that his previous guess was correct!
Almost at the same time, the system's voice rang out.
[Ding, congratulations, Host, you have found a white-grade investable person. Invest in the Returning Origin Technique and gain ten middle-grade spirit stones!]
"Returning Origin Technique?"
Li Xun muttered to himself and glanced around. He found the Returning Origin Technique, picked it up, and walked briskly toward the junior disciple.
A few minutes later, on another spot of the fifth floor:
[Ding, congratulations, Host, you have found a white-grade investable person. Invest in the Divine Water Scripture and gain a Spiritual Pill!]
A quarter of an hour later, on the sixth floor:
[Ding, congratulations, Host, you have found a white-grade investable person. Invest in the Roaring Waves Palm and gain a Broken Cloud Spear (middle-grade spiritual treasure)!]
After nearly half an hour, Li Xun finally stopped. In this time, he had invested in nine people, gaining a rich harvest. The only regret was that he didn't gain any cultivation techniques. If someone like Lu Changhe received twenty more years of cultivation, he could almost become a core disciple.
"I came here too early today."
Li Xun glanced at the sky outside. The sun had just risen, and many disciples were still inside or just leaving their quarters.
If he had known about this loophole in the system, he would have come during the peak time when the most disciples were in the Scripture Pavilion.
"Unfortunately, my time in the Scripture Pavilion is almost up."
Li Xun sighed lightly. Each disciple could only stay in the Scripture Pavilion for an hour. If they exceeded the time, the elder guarding the pavilion would throw them out.
"Nevertheless, it's not a complete loss. At least I know that I can exploit this bug in the Scripture Pavilion. Once I accumulate enough sect contributions, I can come again," Li Xun calculated and didn't waste any more time.
He walked directly to a nearby bookshelf.
During his investment on the sixth floor earlier, he had spotted a spear technique that he wanted, but he didn't have enough time to claim it into his identity token.
Arriving at the bookshelf, Li Xun reached out and took down the cultivation technique he desired.
The Broken Star Halberd Technique!
A Low-grade profound technique with eight moves. When mastered, it might be possible to shatter stars. Although Li Xun couldn't guarantee that, it should be easy to shatter several mountains.
After transferring the contents of the Broken Star Halberd Technique into his identity token, Li Xun headed towards the exit of the Scripture Pavilion.
As he approached the entrance, the elder in purple robes who had seen him before glanced at him casually, sensing his identity token with divine sense before confirming everything and not obstructing him.
Returning along the familiar path, Li Xun was about to reach his small courtyard when he noticed something unusual.
There was an outer disciple walking back and forth in front of his courtyard, dressed in outer disciple attire. It was none other than Ye Han!
"How did he find this place?"
Li Xun was puzzled.
"Senior Brother Li!"
Without waiting for Li Xun to figure it out, Ye Han, who had been waiting, looked over upon sensing his arrival. A joyful expression appeared on his face, and he walked over quickly, saying, "Junior Brother, I finally caught up to you!"
"Ye Junior Brother, it's been a while," Li Xun replied with a smile, asking, "How is your injury?"
"Thanks to Senior Brother's Blood Qi Pill, not only has my injury healed, but I also broke through to the fourth level of Body Refining!" Ye Han said excitedly.
The Blood Qi Pill had a broad range of uses, not only for recovering from injuries but also for tempering one's blood and body. It was considered one of the most precious pills for body refining realm cultivators.
"Indeed, fortune favors the well-prepared," Li Xun praised and then asked with a puzzled expression, "Is there something you need, Junior Brother, for you to come all the way here?"
"Senior Brother, I've been grateful to you since the day you helped me. Today, I'm here to repay a part of my debt to you," Ye Han said sincerely, taking out a newly written book from his robes.
The book looked fresh, and a faint fragrance of ink wafted from its pages, suggesting that it had just been completed.
"This is a high-grade profound technique called the Golden Body Technique. After mastering it, your physical defense will be unparalleled. Even if faced with a Spirit Connection Realm cultivator or a Profound Core Realm cultivator, they won't be able to hurt you even a bit."
"Junior Brother wants to give this to me?" Li Xun squinted and glanced at Ye Han, especially at his hands. He could confirm that Ye Han didn't have any storage ring.
However, there was only one explanation that made sense - Ye Han had a grandparent.
But the question was, where was Ye Han's mythical grandparent hiding?
At this moment, Li Xun couldn't be sure.
