On the second floor of the 7823rd Sword Tower, a figure sat cross-legged on a cushion on the balcony. His body was surrounded by waves of Spirit Qi that gathered from afar and surrounded him.
The pure Spirit Qi was not absorbed into the body, but covered the surface of the body. It flowed through the body like waves and was being refined.
Sword Aura Protection Secret Technique Level Three!
The Sword Aura Protection Secret Technique was obtained by Chu Mu when he killed a disciple of the Qinglan Sword Sect in the Hundred Beasts Valley of Qinglan Mountain. At that time, only the first and second levels were available. After Chu Mu cultivated it, the Sword Aura Protection Secret Technique was able to withstand the sharpness of the Hundred Refinements Sword.
Now, he found the Sword Aura Protection Secret Technique Level Three in the Great Kun Sword Mansion's Hidden Art Tower and exchanged it for 10,000 credits. He could finally cultivate it.
He focused all his attention and cleared all distracting thoughts. He used his mind to guide the Innate Sword Aura to mix with the surrounding Spirit Qi and converge it on his body, refining the Sword Aura Protection Secret Technique again and again.
When all the Sword Aura Protection Secret Technique Level Three was refined and compressed into Innate Sword Aura, the Sword Aura Protection Secret Technique Level Three could be considered successful. According to the description, the Sword Aura Protection Secret Technique Level Three could withstand the attack of a low-grade sword weapon once.
If it could be replenished in time, it could withstand a second or even a third low-grade sword weapon's attack.
Although there was only one chance, it could prevent injury or even death in certain unavoidable situations. It was also a good way to save one's life.
The refinement progress was unusually slow, indicating that it was not easy to cultivate the Sword Aura Protection Secret Technique Level Three. However, Chu Mu was determined to persevere.
After two hours, Chu Mu stopped moving the Innate Sword Aura. The Spirit Qi in the outside world slowly dissipated. He opened his eyes, which were as clear as water.
"Although the Shangyuan Sword Aura Technique is very good among the Yellow Class techniques, it is still very difficult to move the Innate Sword Aura Protection Secret Technique Level Three. Looks like I have to first obtain a Xuan Rank Cultivation Method to cultivate. That's the best choice. "Chu Mu stood up and thought to himself.
Although there was a Black Class Sword Aura Protection Secret Technique Level, he did not want to cultivate it. its level was too low. if he cultivated it, he would have to change his cultivation.
He left the Sword Tower and headed in the direction of the Scripture Pavilion.
Astral-9 was very large, at least five times larger than the entire outer palace. At first, Chu Mu wandered around aimlessly, but after a while, he saw a huge stone tablet.
There were carvings on the stone tablet that depicted a topographic map of Astral-9. Various locations were marked out, such as the location of the Hundred Affairs Hall, the Scripture Pavilion, and the Sword Comprehension Room.
After memorizing the route, Chu Mu headed towards the Scripture Pavilion.
The Inner Palace's Hidden Art Tower was far from being comparable to the Outer Palace.
A huge sword tower stood in front of Chu Mu in the shape of a tower. Five meters above the ground, there was a plaque on the gate. On the plaque, there were three big red words written on it: Training Pavilion. The words seemed to contain some kind of mystery.
This Hidden Art Pavilion had a total of five floors, and its overall height was more than fifty meters. Perhaps it was because it had been there for a long time, or perhaps it was because it had stored many books, but it naturally carried an aura of books that had experienced the vicissitudes of life, making people want to worship it.
In front of the Hidden Art Tower, which was over 50 meters tall, anyone would feel insignificant.
Unlike the Outer Palace, there were many people going in and out of the Hidden Art Tower, making it seem very lively.
Chu Mu stood still and took a few glances before stepping into the Hidden Technique Tower's entrance and entering the tower.
Rows upon rows of neatly arranged bookshelves appeared in front of him. There were many compartments on the bookshelves, and within each compartment were many books. Beside each book was a brief introduction to the book's contents.
The books here were also divided into categories. There were sword aura arts, swordsmanship, movement techniques, secret techniques, and even some miscellaneous travel notes.
Chu Mu's goal was to choose a sword aura art that he liked, so he quickly scanned through the bookshelves and found the section where sword aura arts were categorized.
"They're all just low-grade profound-level sword aura arts." He frowned slightly.
"If you want a higher-grade sword aura art, you'll have to go upstairs," a student said casually as he passed by.
"Thank you," Chu Mu said and walked up the stairs to the second floor without hesitation.
There were many students on the second floor, and they were still choosing sword aura arts. Glancing at the bookshelves, they were all mid-grade profound-level sword aura arts.
"It seems that the profound-level sword aura arts should be on the third floor. If that's the case, could the profound-level sword aura arts be on the fourth floor?"
Because the Hidden Art Tower was shaped like a tower, the first floor was the largest and naturally had the most books. The second floor was second, and the third floor had even fewer books. Although Chu Mu did not go to the fourth floor, he knew that the fourth floor would definitely be smaller than the third floor, and the books collected there would definitely be fewer.
Chu Mu's ideal goal was a profound-level sword aura art. If there were profound-level sword aura arts, it would naturally be better.
However, profound-level sword aura arts required too many credits, at least 160,000. For someone like him who only had 40,000 credits, he did not know when he would be able to gather enough credits to exchange.
"I'll take a look at the sword aura arts on the third floor first, and then go to the fourth floor to take a look. Finally, I'll make my choice based on my satisfaction and needs," Chu Mu said to himself.
Since the beginning of cultivating sword aura arts, Chu Mu had focused on elemental attributes. Naturally, his first choice was elemental attributes.
Elemental attributes could also be called non-elemental attributes. It meant that it did not enhance any swordsmanship or movement skills. It was a balanced cultivation method.
Some people said that balance meant weakness, while others believed that balance meant strength.
However, whether it was strong or weak still needed to be determined by the individual and the actual situation. For Chu Mu, although elemental sword aura arts could not enhance the power of other swordsmanships, it would not weaken the power of other swordsmanships either. Moreover, due to its attribute, it would not be easily restrained.
Chu Mu's swordsmanship was not of a single attribute. So far, he had only cultivated wind, cloud, and metal swordsmanships. Regardless of whether he cultivated wind, cloud, or metal swordsmanships, the enhancement of one attribute would naturally weaken the other two.
Standing in front of the bookshelf of sword aura arts, Chu Mu's eyes lit up slightly as he carefully looked through the shelves one by one.
"Icicle Sword Aura Art, Profound Level High Grade. Seven levels in total. Focuses on ice elemental innate sword aura. Enhances ice elemental swordsmanship by 30%. Requires 80,000 credits."
"Purple Thunder Phaseless Art, Profound Level High Grade. Eight levels in total. Focuses on lightning elemental innate sword aura. Enhances lightning elemental swordsmanship by 30% and lightning elemental movement skills by 10%. Requires 90,000 credits."
As he searched, Chu Mu's gaze was suddenly attracted by a sword aura art.
"Nine Transformations of Heaven Origin, Profound Level High Grade. Nine levels in total. Focuses on elemental innate sword aura. Cannot enhance the power of any swordsmanship or movement skills. However, after cultivating to the ninth level, the innate sword aura will be 50% thicker than the sword aura cultivated from sword aura arts of the same level. The recovery speed of innate sword aura will also be 50% faster. Requires 100,000 credits."
"100,000 …" Chu Mu sucked in a breath of cold air.
If the calculation was based on the 1000 credits that inner palace students received every month, then 100,000 credits would take 100 months. That would take more than eight years. It was too long.
"Nine Transformations of Heaven Origin will be my first choice if there is no sword aura art that I am more satisfied with on the fourth floor." Chu Mu thought to himself as he walked up the stairs to the fourth floor.
The fourth floor was indeed smaller than the third floor. The number of books on the fourth floor had also decreased by more than half.
Searching through the bookshelves of Sword Aura Arts, although they were all top quality Xuan Rank Sword Aura Arts, Chu Mu didn't find any Yuan Type Sword Aura Arts. Moreover, these top quality Xuan Rank Sword Aura Arts required at least 160,000 academic credits.
"Fine, I'll use the Nine Transformations of Heaven Origin as my goal and try to gather 100,000 credits as soon as possible." If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation. "
