"Thank you, Senior!"
Li Yunjing listened, and his heart was deeply moved. Could it be that this old man truly had no ulterior motives for him?
Was he really a good senior of the sect, willing to guide a junior like him?
Li Yunjing’s heart was in conflict, not knowing whether he should trust or remain cautious.
"Enough! Put down the book in your hand. There is little value in these for a prodigy like you."
The old man said with a light smile.
Obviously, ever since Li Yunjing made a na for himself outside, this senior expert’s attitude towards him had changed.
No longer treating Li Yunjing as an ordinary outer disciple.
Rather, seeing him as a true prodigy, a genius worthy of special attention.
Geniuses and ordinary people naturally cannot learn the sa things, nor can they be trained in the sa way.
Geniuses need to start higher.
Learning more esoteric and profound knowledge!
Because geniuses have the ability to comprehend deeply and truly make it their own within a certain ti.
This is far beyond the comprehension ability of ordinary disciples!
"Yes!"
Li Yunjing responded, placing the book back on the shelf.
As for the old man’s words, they made his heart tremble. Did this senior really see his talent as prodigious?
Comparable to figures like Yu Yunyi, Fu Chao, Wei Henian, and Xu Xun?
This made him feel a bit dazed and incredulous.
Had he really reached this step?
The old man led the way ahead, with Li Yunjing following behind, as they walked past rows of bookshelves.
After a short while, the old man stopped, not even looking at the shelves, and said, "The left-side shelf, from bottom to top, third layer, from left to right, the 112th book!"
"Oh!"
Li Yunjing was startled, then took a deep breath. What kind of mory was this?
How many books had this old man read here?
Could he really rember all this?
Li Yunjing obediently picked up the book, which had the words "Blazing Fire Palm" written on it.
When he looked at the table of contents, he found it was indeed a top-tier Fire Elent Magic, graded as a Middle Grade Tier One technique.
Such a technique was quite excellent among the ones in this layer.
The old man did not stop walking but continued forward while Li Yunjing held the book carefully and followed closely. After a while, they stopped at another bookshelf.
"Fourth Layer, 72nd book from the left."
The old man said calmly again.
"Wind-Catching and Shadow-Stealing Skill!"
Li Yunjing picked up the book and examined it closely, discovering it to be a Wind Elent Light Body Technique.
"This one is good, paired with your ’Gale Boots,’ it should make you the fastest among the outer disciples!"
The old man explained indifferently.
"Thank you, Senior, for the guidance!"
Li Yunjing was first stunned, then delighted. The old man’s selection of techniques for him, tailored to fit, was indeed highly effective, saving him ten tis the ti!
Otherwise, finding techniques suitable for himself in this vast sea of books would be like finding a needle in a haystack!
And with the speed of the fastest outer disciple, surely there wouldn’t be many who could surpass him in the inner sect either, greatly enhancing his safety!
Such were the benefits of a master’s guidance!
Li Yunjing once again felt the advantages of his growing reputation!
Otherwise, this senior might at most chat with him occasionally, but where would he have the patience to personally tailor and find the most suitable techniques?
Now, choosing the right techniques had beco a major concern for Li Yunjing.
His cultivation was sowhat mixed, and these disparate techniques could not be integrated to significantly boost his combat power.
For instance, the techniques and divine arts he obtained from a tribulation cultivator had not been studied or practiced at all.
He simply couldn’t learn them.
He had mastered so many things that sotis he didn’t know which to use.
He now needed ti to systematically sort through these techniques and divine arts, discarding the dross and keeping the essence, thoroughly integrating these techniques into sothing uniquely his own.
Now, the old man’s help seed to offer real hope of completing this plan in advance.
This made Li Yunjing imnsely grateful for the old man’s assistance.
Not to ntion the recomndation for him to access the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion next month.
To Li Yunjing’s gratitude, the old man responded with a slight smile and a gentle nod, remaining noncommittal.
This ti, the old man seed genuinely intent on aiding Li Yunjing, selecting what he deed the ten most suitable Five Elents Magic, flying techniques, and special techniques for him to read.
For each of these techniques, the old man provided evaluations, explaining their pros and cons, which Li Yunjing could only agree with, marveling at the old man’s erudition.
Out of hundreds of thousands of books, ten were chosen.
This level of erudition far surpassed Li Yunjing.
According to Li Yunjing’s estimate, it would take him at least three hundred years to read all the books on the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion!
Compared to the old man, there was a vast difference.
"These are enough for you to study; there’s no need to look anymore."
At this point, the old man finally said with a smiling expression, "Next month, if the quota is approved, I will call for you."
"Thank you, Senior. I will never forget your grace."
Li Yunjing held a stack of books and gave the old man a serious bow.
"Hehe! I’ll head to the second floor now. You go about your business!"
The old man chuckled, heading towards the stairs to the second floor.
"Alas!"
Watching the old man leave, Li Yunjing sighed. He couldn’t understand the old man’s intentions anyway, so he would just take it one step at a ti.
Jin Shouyun saw that Li Yunjing had borrowed so many books and was stunned. He asked, "Steward Li, are all these books to be borrowed at once?"
Today, he was in charge of the registration.
Seeing Li Yunjing take so many books, he couldn’t help but secretly marvel. How could anyone read all these?
"Hehe! Register them all. I plan to read them thoroughly over these fifteen days."
Li Yunjing nodded, signaling Jin Shouyun to start recording.
In the Scripture Pavilion, not a single book could be lost!
This was an ironclad rule!
Li Yunjing could read for free, and he could take them ho to read at his leisure, but no losses were allowed. Even if he took one, it had to be registered to track its circulation for tracing purposes.
Such rules, Li Yunjing naturally had no authority to break. His team mbers wouldn’t dare violate the rules of the Scripture Pavilion either.
Soon, Jin Shouyun recorded the borrowing information and noted the return deadline—15 days.
Li Yunjing nodded in satisfaction, then stored the books in his storage bag.
"Alright! Carry on with your work. I’m going back to read!"
In the Scripture Pavilion, there were too many people, and he was often engaged in conversations, making it hard to fully concentrate.
Li Yunjing decided to go to his temporary residence at the back mountain of Brocade Peak to read slowly.
Li Yunjing was no longer a novice in the Scripture Pavilion but a seasoned practitioner who knew exactly what could be done and what couldn’t.
Within his jurisdiction, he had such conveniences.
While Li Yunjing was imrsed in reading, Yu Yunyi also learned in detail from Steward Li about the Youlan Mountain Range trip and everything that had happened.
Steward Li had personally visited the Shenxiao Dao Sect for this matter.
Clearly, this was a sign of extre caution.
The purpose was to prevent anyone from discovering the Yu Family’s unseemly role in the affair.
The cri of attacking and killing disciples of Shenxiao Dao Sect was no light matter!
Even a Foundation Establishnt expert like him couldn’t bear it!
As soon as it was proven that Steward Li was involved, the consequence was certain death.
To ensure absolute safety, Steward Li naturally chose the most appropriate way and t with the young lady in person.
"Unexpectedly, Li Yunjing has beco so strong?"
When Steward Li recounted Li Yunjing’s initial performance and the later news of him killing a Qi Cultivation Realm Great Perfection cultivator, Yu Yunyi was shocked.
Her bright eyes showed incredulousness.
Li Yunjing’s talent had already shown its value, but his prowess exceeded Yu Yunyi’s expectations.
"Yes, very powerful! Young Lady, it seems you made the right decision betting on Li Yunjing."
Steward Li laughed.
Even soone like him admired Li Yunjing.
A minor figure, in less than half a year, advanced from the first layer to the fifth layer of the Qi Cultivation Realm—what kind of talent was this?
In all his years with the Yu Family, he had never seen anything like it.
Even the young lady, Yu Yunyi, had begun cultivating at eight and reached the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation after ten years of arduous training!
This was already an extraordinary achievent!
A standard of the prodigious level!
Li Yunjing’s performance was truly remarkable!
"Interesting! Since his achievents are significant, we can help him enter higher circles, and perhaps he can aid our Yu Family in the future."
After a long while, Yu Yunyi smiled slightly, making her decision.
...
Recently, Li Yunjing had dived into his reading, even forgoing much of his ti for Qi cultivation ditation.
He spent all his available ti reading in his room.
Li Yunjing could read a page at a glance, morizing every word.
These words seed to co alive, forming vivid pictures in his sea of consciousness.
All the cultivation techniques, spells, and divine techniques were practiced thoroughly, dozens of tis.
Li Yunjing had completely absorbed this knowledge and started initial integration.
Particularly his "Water and Fire United," which, under the senior’s guidance, using "Blazing Fire Palm" and "Inverted Sea Technique" as the foundation, underwent further evolution, its power no less than a small divine technique.
Its stability greatly increased, making it one of Li Yunjing’s top techniques.
Besides the fusion of water and fire, in his Gold Elent cultivation, "Ghostly Vortex Blade" also saw progress with so gold attribute techniques integrated.
Summoning gold energy beca more varied, allowing faster and stronger execution of "Ghostly Vortex Blade."
For Wood Elent magic, Li Yunjing practiced "Myriad Woods Evergreen Technique," which was not good for combat but excellent for healing wounds, nurturing the spirit, and cultivating spirit wood and spirit grass.
In the sect, many spirit plant cultivators and pharmacists were proficient in this technique.
For Earth Elent magic, Li Yunjing chose a Body Refining Technique, "Stone Armor Skill."
Thus, all the Five Elents Techniques and spells Li Yunjing had were summarized and re-cultivated by him, presented in the forms of "Water and Fire United," "Myriad Woods Evergreen Technique," "Ghostly Vortex Blade," and "Stone Armor Skill."
These refined and distilled techniques were all imnsely powerful, worthy of being High Grade Tier One, suitable for inner sect use.
And Li Yunjing’s fundantal technique, "Shenxiao Dao," was the source of all techniques and divine arts, providing the power.
This "Shenxiao Dao," in Li Yunjing’s hands, was cultivated to utmost purity.
This "Shenxiao Dao," Li Yunjing had no qualifications to refine further.
Because the "Shenxiao Dao" was a perfect technique, the foundation of the Shenxiao Dao Sect.
