Chapter 19: Body Refined by Ten Thousand Thunders
Hearing the sound of the door behind him closing, Xiao Yun didn't think much about it. He glanced at the four people who were still a little panicked beside him and strode into the passage.
The passage was not very long. After walking for only about three minutes, Xiao Yun saw a pale yellow light in front of him.
After walking out of the passage, what appeared in front of Xiao Yun was an extremely spacious room. On the walls around the room, there were nearly twenty energy shields, and the pale yellow light came from these energy shields.
In the room, the other four people arrived soon after, "Is this the energy layer that the vice president mentioned? These treasures are floating in the air. Do we have to jump up and reach in?" Fang Wen, who arrived first among the four, spoke.
"Just wait and see." Seeing the puzzled expressions of the four people, Xiao Yun, who knew what was going on, said that there was no need to explain, because they would know how to get it in a while.
Just as Xiao Yun's voice fell, there was a slight sound of breaking wind in the room. Although the sound was very subtle, it was like thunder in the sky to the great fighters in the room.
"Something is coming." Fang Wen changed his position in the direction of the sound, and saw a purple-red light shooting out from the energy shield, and was grabbed by Fang Wen who was closest to it.
The purple-red light slowly dissipated, and a scroll wrapped in an energy layer appeared in Fang Wen's hand.
"Xuanjie intermediate skill, Thunder and Fire Art."
Holding the scroll in his hand, Fang Wen just gently reached in and found that he could pass through the energy layer without any hindrance and took the scroll out directly.
Watching Fang Wen's operation, the other three suddenly realized, and at this time, groups of energy balls of different colors kept gushing out from the energy shield, and then kept shuttling in the room, bringing up the sound of breaking wind.
The three people followed suit, constantly jumping up and catching the energy balls in the air one by one.
Xiao Yun did not blindly catch the energy balls like the others, but maximized his own soul perception to perceive those powerful light balls.
"Earth-level low-level fighting skills, Thunder Hands."
"Mysterious-level high-level skills, Refining Fire."
"Sixth-grade high-level medicinal materials, Heavenly Jade Fruit."
...
Time passed little by little, Xiao Yun did not get what he wanted after several attempts. The best of them, except for the earth-level low-level fighting skills with mismatched attributes, was the Heavenly Jade Fruit, which was the most valuable. But this was not what Xiao Yun, who only had the strength of a third-grade pharmacist, needed.
As time continued to decrease, several people around him got what they wanted, but Xiao Yun still had nothing in his hands. "There is not enough time." Xiao Yun muttered to himself, and his soul power became more and more tense.
At a certain moment, his soul power was stretched to the extreme, and his heart suddenly trembled. The soul perception that filled the entire room detected a very small fluctuation and transmitted it back to his mind. His tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and Xiao Yun shot into the air like a cannonball. His right hand stretched upward and firmly grasped a ball of silver energy in his palm.
Xiao Yun landed steadily on the ground, and his left hand gently extended, and his palm passed through the energy layer without hindrance. Four big characters were engraved on the scroll that came into view.
"Ten Thousand Thunders Body Refining!"
Xiao Yun's pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at the scroll in his hand in shock. "Could this be the Thunder Clan's body refining technique? Dean Mang Tianchi is really generous. He even placed this technique in the library."
As Xiao Yun took out the scroll, the speed of the various energy balls flying in the air also slowed down, and then the energy shield burst out with a strong suction force, sucking all the energy balls into it.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yun and the other five people realized that half an hour had passed. Fortunately, everyone got the things they wanted. They looked at each other and returned to the passage they came from. As the five people left, the vortex-like energy shields around the huge room also began to slowly shrink.
After a while, the energy shields turned into small dots, and with a slight click, they completely dissipated. At this time, the huge room became empty, and no one could have imagined that there had been countless treasures and skills here that were enough to cause a sensation in the outside world.
"Creaky."
When Xiao Yun and his companions reached the end of the passage, the originally tightly closed door suddenly opened slowly, and the warm sunlight from the outside shone through the gap in the door, leaving a long streak of light in the dark passage.
The door opened, and Xiao Yun and his companions came out one after another. Looking at the beautiful scenery outside the building, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling like they had seen
the light of day again. Seeing the five people walk out, an old man in a gray robe sitting cross-legged at the door moved, and a vast energy wave swept over Xiao Yun and his companions, and they felt as if they had been seen naked.
"Okay, you've followed the rules. Now the time has come, you can go. One more thing, all information about the library must not be disclosed to the outside world, even if you have obtained something from it." A hoarse voice sounded, echoing in everyone's ears.
Xiao Yun and the others bowed and promised that they would not reveal a single detail about the library.
"Come out, you all did not return empty-handed, did you?" Hu Qian, who had been waiting outside the pavilion, said with a smile when he saw everyone coming out.
"No..."
"That's good. No matter whether what you get is what you like or not, it's better to return with something than to return empty-handed."
Hu Qian smiled at everyone, turned around and bowed slightly to the two gray-robed old men at the door who looked like stone sculptures, saying, "Since these young guys have already got the things, I won't disturb the two old men from their meditation."
The two old men didn't respond, and were still as indifferent as before.
Hu Qian didn't care, and took the lead, leading everyone back to the passage they came from.
...
In the spacious and bright study, Hu Qian watched the secret door on the wall behind the desk slowly close, then he turned around and looked at the five people standing in the room, and said with a smile: "Well, you have got your reward. Have a good rest when you go back. Remember to come here tomorrow and I will take you to the inner courtyard then." When
everyone heard Hu Qian's words, they nodded quickly to remember them. Just as they were about to leave, a voice came from behind them.
"Also, let me tell you, as freshmen, if you want to avoid being bullied by seniors when you enter the inner courtyard, besides having stronger fists, you must also put aside your grudges and support each other. Otherwise, when you enter the inner courtyard, the consequences will not be very good."
"Don't think that you are stronger than them just because you are in the top five. The students who entered the inner courtyard were originally the best in the outer courtyard. In addition, the inner courtyard has unique cultivation resources. With your current cultivation level, you can only be considered as the middle to lower level."
