After returning to the Lin family, it was already evening. Lin Xiu guessed that there should be no one in the Skills Pavilion at this time, so he went straight there.
The Skills Pavilion was the most important place in the Lin family. Whether a family's martial arts were prosperous or powerful, it had a lot to do with the strength of the family's martial arts. Although the Lin family was only a second-rate family in Huining City, they also had their own Skills Pavilion, which was guarded by the most powerful elder in the family.
Because of the recent reputation, the guards in front of the Skills Pavilion obviously received a notice from the family when they saw Lin Xiu. They smiled at Lin Xiu kindly and let him in.
After entering the pavilion, Lin Xiu first bowed to the elder who guarded the stairs leading to the second floor.
As the oldest person in the family, the elder was wearing a snow-white robe, but his old face was full of smiles. Looking at the young man in front of him who had recently become famous in the family, the elder stroked his white beard and said softly, "Lin Xiu, right? You are really calm. After the family competition just ended a few days ago, those little guys couldn't wait to come here. You are the most calm, not bad, not bad."
Hearing this, Lin Xiu was a little embarrassed. He originally thought that Master Feng Huo had better martial arts, so he didn't care much about the family's Skills Pavilion, but he didn't expect Master Feng Huo to tell him that there was no martial arts suitable for humans.
Seeing Lin Xiu's blushing face, the elder didn't think much and thought that it was because he was young and couldn't stand other people's praise.
Seeing Lin Xiu looking at the second floor of the Skills Pavilion, the elder was very straightforward. He directly stepped aside and gave way to the stairs behind him. When Lin Xiu lifted his leg, the elder said with a serious face, "Child, on the road of cultivation, don't bite off more than you can chew. Although there is nothing special about our Lin family's martial arts, you have to remember that the most suitable one is the strongest."
Lin Xiu could see that the elder was sincerely thinking for him. When he went up to the second floor, Lin Xiu cupped his fists to the elder again and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your guidance, elder."
Unlike the Inferior Grade Human Martial Techniques on the first floor, the second floor of the Martial Technique Pavilion was filled with the stronger Medial Grade Human Martial Techniques. There was even the Lin Clan's treasure, the Superior Grade Human Raging Waves Palm.
Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques were different. Martial Skills focused on improving a person's combat skills, while Cultivation Techniques focused on improving a martial artist's cultivation strength. In terms of preciousness, the value of Cultivation Techniques was generally comparable to a higher level Martial Skill.
The number of Martial Skill books on the spacious second floor was undoubtedly much lesser than the dazzling line-up of books on the first floor. However, their value far surpassed that of the first floor.
Lin Xiu picked up a skill on the bookshelf closest to him and opened it. It was a skill called Kun Yuan Sword Technique. Although it looked powerful, Lin Xiu placed it back without hesitation.
There was only one month left until the City Lord Residence selection. He had never practiced sword techniques before. If he chose this book, he would not be biting off more than he could chew, but it would be difficult to achieve anything in a short period of time.
He picked up a few more Martial Skills and flipped through them briefly. Lin Xiu placed them back in disappointment. Just by looking at the introduction at the front, these Martial Skills were quite powerful. However, three out of the five Martial Skills required weapons, and the other was a leg technique. Only one was more suitable for Lin Xiu to practice.
After looking around, Lin Xiu was left with five Martial Skills. He frowned and obviously couldn't make up his mind.
Lord Feng Huo was in a deep slumber and would probably only wake up after a few days. He could only rely on himself to choose now.
Among these five Martial Skills, two were fist techniques, two were palm techniques, and one was an extremely rare wind attribute Spirit Power movement skill.
After hesitating for a while, Lin Xiu finally decided to bring these five Martial Skills with him and ask for the Great Elder's opinion when he went down.
Lin Xiu, who was carrying the five Martial Skills, returned to the first floor anxiously. He cupped his hands towards the Great Elder who was reading an unofficial history novel in front of a desk. He then took out the Martial Skills and let the Great Elder carefully choose for him.
The Great Elder took the Martial Skills and looked at Lin Xiu with interest. He then spread the five Martial Skills on the desk and began to explain the pros and cons of these five Martial Skills in detail.
"This Eight Trigram Palm was obtained by an ancestor of the clan many years ago. According to him, this Martial Technique was originally an Earth Ranked Martial Technique. However, he only obtained an incomplete version. Although it is slightly stronger than a Medial Grade Human Ranked Martial Technique, there is a limit to how strong it is. On the contrary, it requires a large amount of time to slowly practice. This is currently not suitable for you.
Hearing the Great Elder's words, Lin Xiu couldn't help but nod his head. Although the temptation of an Earth Level Martial Skill was great, it needed time to slowly practice. The selection would begin in a month, and he didn't have enough time to master this Martial Skill.
Then, the Great Elder pointed to a Martial Skill that Lin Xiu chose and said seriously, "I heard that you used a Martial Skill called Army Breaker during the Large Competition. Although that Martial Skill's name is fancy, it is undeniable that it is extremely beneficial for your cultivation and foundation. You have good taste, child. This Mountain Quaking Fist can be said to be an advanced version of Army Breaker. With the Army Breaker Fist as a foundation, I believe that your progress will be extremely fast if you practice this Mountain Quaking Fist."
After taking out the Mountain Quaking Fist, the Great Elder pointed to two Martial Skills at once.
"The movement technique Graceful Swan and this Clear Breeze Palm should be the best mid-grade Mortal Level Martial Skills on the second floor. Although the attack power of the Clear Breeze Palm cannot be compared to the Mountain Quaking Fist, it has the advantage in that it is gentle and consumes very little spirit energy. In addition, Graceful Swan can increase your speed so that you won't fall into a predicament when fighting with enemies. The two complement each other, and in terms of value, it is not inferior to some high-grade Mortal Level Martial Skills. But these two Martial Skills have a high requirement for aptitude. If you don't have the talent for the wind attribute, don't force yourself to pick these two Martial Skills. "
Lin Xiu saw the Great Elder's earnest and well-intentioned appearance and was elated. From the Great Elder's words, he knew that the Clear Breeze Palm and Graceful Swan Movement Technique were definitely outstanding. Otherwise, the Great Elder wouldn't advise him like this.
"Great Elder, since these two Martial Skills are so good, I want them." Lin Xiu said solemnly.
"Forget it, since you guys are unable to comprehend the attribute of spirit energy, you can cultivate these two Martial Skills for now. If you really have the talent for the wind attribute, I believe that cultivating these two Martial Skills will allow you to comprehend the wind attribute even faster." The Great Elder seemed a little helpless.
But if he knew that Lin Xiu was able to sense the wind attribute spirit energy, he would be shocked. A Blood Refinement Realm cultivator was able to comprehend the element. Such a rare genius in the Immortal Martial Continent actually appeared in a second-rate clan in a small city?
The Great Elder put away the last Soft Water Palm skill and said angrily, "Don't cultivate this kind of Martial Skill that's just for show. I don't know how you managed to find this Martial Skill."
Lin Xiu smiled embarrassedly. Of course, he wouldn't tell the Great Elder that this Soft Water Palm skill was because he had been cultivating by the pool every day recently, so he thought that this Water Palm skill would be very easy to cultivate. He didn't expect to be scolded by the Great Elder.
After putting away the three Martial Skills and thanking the Great Elder, Lin Xiu planned to leave.
