The grades of the martial techniques on the third level were finally incomparable to the ones on the second level. There were no longer any low-grade Yellow Level manuals, the lowest was at least mid-grade Yellow Level.
Unfortunately, Lu Xuan flipped through a few books and didn't find any high-grade Yellow Level manuals. It seemed like high-grade Yellow Level manuals were extremely rare even for the Wind Sword School.
It wasn't that they didn't have any, but they wouldn't take them out easily. Those martial techniques were most likely with the core disciples. After all, the core disciples were the most important talents of the Wind Sword School.
Lu Xuan didn't lack martial techniques. The Taiyi Origin Art could support him to the tenth level of the Body Refinement Realm. For now, it was enough. However, this didn't stop him from studying these mid-grade Yellow Level manuals to see how powerful they were.
Although he had been using the Taiyi Origin Art to train and could clearly feel its power, what made Lu Xuan curious was that the Taiyi Origin Art didn't indicate what grade it was. Using this mid-grade Yellow Level martial technique as a reference, he might be able to guess a thing or two.
Lu Xuan randomly picked a middle-grade Yellow Level cultivation method and skipped over the introductory part. He flipped to the back and read the meridians that were circulating. Lu Xuan could not help but be slightly shocked when he read it.
There were only three meridians indicated in the manual, but the Taiyi Origin Returning Technique had as many as twenty-six meridians!
The difference was almost ten times!
Although he already knew that the Taiyi Origin Art's grade might be extraordinary, he didn't expect it to be this powerful.
Lu Xuan quickly flipped through a few more manuals that were similarly mid-grade Yellow Level manuals, but they all only had three meridians.
After confirming that he didn't see wrongly, Lu Xuan couldn't help but lick his lips in excitement. A mid-grade Yellow Level manual only had three meridians, then with twenty-six main meridians, what kind of level could the Taiyi Origin Art reach?
High-grade Yellow Level? Definitely more than that!
Mystic Level manual? Probably more than that …
Lu Xuan vaguely guessed that the Taiyi Origin Returning Technique was at least an Earth Level cultivation technique.
Cultivation Methods and Martial Techniques were divided into four major levels according to Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. Below them, they were further divided into Upper, Middle, and Lower grades. Just by looking at the Martial Technique Pavilion of Wind Sword School, there was not a single Upper Grade Yellow Grade Cultivation Method. It could be seen that Upper Grade Yellow Grade Cultivation Methods were extremely rare in Wind Sword School.
As for the Mystery Level skill, even if there was one, it would at most be at the Lower Grade of the Mystery Level, and it was very likely to be the most precious treasure of the sect. As for the Earth Level skill, not to mention a Level 3 sect like the Wind Sword School, even a Level 4 sect above the Wind Sword School might not have one.
Lu Xuan's heart could not help but pound when he thought about how it was very likely that he now possessed a set of Earth Level or above cultivation methods. No wonder his cultivation speed was so much faster than others. He actually had such a huge treasure on him!
Moreover, Lu Xuan was only speculating about the Earth-level cultivation method. There might even be a slight possibility that it was a Sky-level cultivation method. Lu Xuan could not help but be shocked by his own thoughts when he thought of this. A Sky-level cultivation method was one of the best cultivation methods out there.
The only regret was that the Taiyi Origin Art that he had now was only for the Body Refining Stage. He didn't know if there would be a follow-up cultivation method in the mysterious Sword Crystal …
Lu Xuan stood in front of the bookshelf and let his imagination run wild. His face showed ecstasy one moment, and then became worried the next.
His expression, as well as his action of flipping through the books, naturally fell into the eyes of a few seniors who were observing him. That seemingly indifferent Lin Tian also glanced at Lu Xuan with a trace of disdain in his eyes. One look and they could tell that he was a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. He was so excited by just a few cultivation methods.
Naturally, they didn't know that Lu Xuan was excited by the power of the Taiyi Origin Art. In their view, Lu Xuan was obviously shocked by so many "powerful" cultivation methods.
Suppressing the trace of restlessness in his heart, Lu Xuan took a deep breath and slowly calmed down. He placed the cultivation methods back on the bookshelf and then walked to another bookshelf. The previous bookshelf was filled with cultivation methods, which Lu Xuan didn't need. With the powerful Taiyi Origin Art, even if the entire Wind Sword School's cultivation methods were placed in front of him, he wouldn't be moved at all.
And now, the bookshelf that Lu Xuan walked to was filled with martial skills. This was his real goal this time.
Previously, when he participated in the assessment in the Sword Forest, Lu Xuan realized the importance of movement martial skills. Because he didn't have any movement martial skills, he couldn't dodge enemies who were far faster than him. He could only choose to face them head-on or use the Blink Sword Art to instantly kill his enemies.
However, doing so would consume a considerable amount of Yuanli, and it would greatly reduce his ability to continue fighting. If he had been able to obtain a set of movement techniques during the assessment, he would definitely have been able to advance further. As such, he was extremely eager to obtain a set of movement techniques at the moment.
Other than a movement martial skill, he also needed a sword art. Currently, he only had two sword arts, the Lightning Light Sword Art and the Blink Sword Art.
However, both sword arts had their flaws. Although the Blink Sword Art was powerful, it consumed a lot of Yuan power. It was his trump card and he wasn't willing to use it easily.
On the other hand, the Lightning Light Sword Art's power could only be considered average. It was enough to deal with ordinary warriors, but it was still not enough to be used in a battle. Although its power wasn't bad at the end, it needed to be accumulated over time. During a battle, one might not be given enough time.
Picking his own martial skill, Lu Xuan didn't dare to slack off and looked through the books one by one.
"Afterimage Technique, Yellow Grade Medial Grade Martial Skill. After mastering it, one's speed will greatly increase. At most, one can create three afterimages."
"Dark Shadow Step, Yellow Grade Medial Grade Martial Skill. Uses Yuan power to change the light in the surroundings, increasing the concealment effect."
"Demon Subduing Sword Art, Yellow Grade Medial Grade Martial Skill …"
Other than choosing a movement martial skill, Lu Xuan didn't miss out on any of the sword martial skills. Every time he found a book, he would seriously study it. Perhaps it was because his vision was too high, but after looking through a few books, Lu Xuan was slightly dissatisfied. However, he didn't reveal any impatience. Finding a martial skill that was suitable for him was the most important thing.
However, after looking through the entire bookshelf, there wasn't a single book that caught his attention.
Finally, on the lowest shelf, Lu Xuan found a movement martial skill that he was satisfied with.
"Rushing Thunder Flash, Yellow Grade Medial Grade Martial Skill. Fast as thunder, fast as lightning. Can be used for quick movement in a small area, dodging sudden attacks."
"I choose you!" Lu Xuan let out a sigh of relief and made his decision. The Rushing Thunder Flash wasn't suitable for long distance travel, but it was extremely useful in battle. No matter if it was used to dodge an attack or to attack an enemy.
Although he had chosen a movement martial skill, Lu Xuan still hadn't found the sword martial skill that he wanted. The bookshelf that contained martial skills had already been searched by him.
Could it be that he couldn't find a sword martial skill that was suitable for him in such a large Martial Skill Pavilion? Lu Xuan wasn't willing to give up, so he shifted his gaze to the last bookshelf.
However, the last bookshelf didn't contain martial skills or cultivation methods. Instead, it contained the personal notes of a few experts, or the words of their experiences. It would be extremely helpful for cultivation.
Holding onto the mentality of a desperate situation, Lu Xuan walked towards the bookshelf.
