Liu Suifeng continued, "This … you are all dragons and phoenixes among men. Being together will not affect your cultivation. Instead, you will improve together. There is no need to worry."
When Xiao Chen heard this, he smiled. He was truly amused by Liu Suifeng, "Alright, you don't have to say anymore. I know what you are thinking. You want me to distract your sister so that you can chase after Chu Xinyun in peace."
"But!" Xiao Chen withdrew his smile and said seriously, "Your sister is right. In this world where the strong rule, without sufficient strength, you cannot act rashly. You will understand this sooner or later."
Liu Suifeng had lived under Liu Ruyue's protection since he was young. He probably did not have many opportunities to go down the mountain. He did not understand this world as well as Xiao Chen.
If this continued, he would be at a disadvantage sooner or later. However, Xiao Chen was about the same age as him, so he could not say it out loud. He could only shake his head in his heart.
When Liu Suifeng saw that his trick was seen through, he laughed awkwardly, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go quickly. We have already wasted a lot of time."
After that, the two of them did not say anything. They hurried on their way. Soon, under Liu Suifeng's lead, Xiao Chen arrived at Qingyun Peak's library.
More than ten Divine Saber Camp bladesmen stood on both sides expressionlessly. Even though they had withdrawn their killing Qi, when they stood side by side, they still gave off a sense of pressure.
Xiao Chen did not expect to meet people from the Divine Saber Camp here. However, when he thought about it, he understood. The place where any sect or faction kept their secret manuals was a forbidden area.
For the Heavenly Saber Pavilion to send people from the Divine Saber Camp to guard this place was reasonable. There were probably more hidden guards than the ones in front of him.
Xiao Chen did not dare to casually extend out his Spiritual Sense. He followed behind Liu Suifeng and slowly walked towards the door of the library. After he handed over his identity token, the Divine Saber Camp bladesmen did not say anything and let him in.
Behind the door of the library, there was a tall wooden table. It was similar to the counter of a restaurant. There was a black-robed old man behind the wooden table. Xiao Chen could not tell what cultivation realm he was at. He sipped tea and focused on reading.
The old man felt Xiao Chen's gaze and gently put down the book in his hand. He smiled amiably at Xiao Chen, "Little Brother, you are finally here."
When Xiao Chen heard this, he was slightly stunned. He did not seem to know this old man.
When Liu Suifeng saw the situation, he stepped forward and explained, "This is my First Uncle, Liu Qing. He was injured twenty years ago. The Ice Crystal Flower you snatched back then saved my First Uncle's life."
Xiao Chen understood. So, that was the case. He was of the same generation as the previous Peak Master. That meant that his status was already very high. He did not dare to slight him. He stepped forward and said, "Ye Chen greets Senior."
In the end, I should be the one bowing to you. If it were not for you, I would have lost my life long ago. "
Xiao Chen could not figure out Liu Qing's cultivation. Furthermore, he was a senior. How could Xiao Chen dare to accept his bow? He quickly said, "Senior is too serious. It was just a small matter."
"Suifeng, bring him to the second floor. I will only charge half the contribution points for the secret manuals he chose today," Liu Qing nodded. He was very satisfied with Xiao Chen's humble attitude.
Xiao Chen did not expect there to be such a benefit. He quickly thanked Liu Suifeng and followed Liu Suifeng, quickly heading to the second floor of Qingyun Peak's library.
The library was split into two floors. The first floor was filled with Yellow Ranked and Profound Ranked secret manuals. There were no Earth Ranked secret manuals. The second floor was filled with Superior Grade Profound Ranked secret manuals.
"Sha!
Sha! "When Xiao Chen arrived at the second floor, he heard the sound of pages flipping. It was very quiet on the second floor. Could there be other people here?
When Xiao Chen looked carefully, there were indeed many people from the other peaks seriously choosing secret manuals. Liu Suifeng explained, "Don't find it strange. These are the core disciples of the sect. The core disciples have the right to go to the other peaks and choose secret manuals."
Xiao Chen nodded and ignored them. After he found out where the secret manuals for Saber Techniques were kept, he immediately went over and started choosing.
There were only fifteen Earth Ranked secret manuals in Qingyun Peak's library. Ignoring Cultivation Techniques, Palm Techniques, and Movement Techniques, Xiao Chen only found three Inferior Grade Earth Ranked Saber Techniques and one Medial Grade Earth Ranked Saber Technique. As for Superior Grade Earth Ranked Saber Techniques, there was not a single one.
Medial Grade Earth Ranked Saber Technique, Withered Tree Saber Technique. There was a total of eighteen moves. It was comprehended by an almighty senior in front of a ten-thousand-year-old withered tree.
This Saber Technique was simple and condensed; it was calm and imposing. There were no extravagant or complicated moves. It did not require a high comprehension ability to practice it. However, it was easy to learn but hard to master.
The essence of this Saber Technique required one to comprehend the longevity of the withered tree, enduring silently for ten thousand years. Only then would one be able to practice it to Great Perfection.
Withered Tree Saber Technique. Just from the name, one could tell the style of this Saber Technique. It was tenacious and heavy; it was a simple Saber Technique.
It was good, but unfortunately, it did not suit Xiao Chen's style. Furthermore, Xiao Chen's Spirit was not of the wood attribute. It would be difficult for him to reach Great Perfection.
The only Medial Grade Earth Ranked Saber Technique was not suitable for him. Xiao Chen felt it was unfortunate. Then, he looked at the remaining three Inferior Grade Earth Ranked Saber Techniques.
Mountain Splitting Saber Technique, Inferior Grade Earth Ranked Saber Technique. There was a total of nine moves. It was large, ferocious, and tyrannical. When practiced to Great Perfection, it would be easy to split mountains.
This was one of the more widespread Inferior Grade Earth Ranked Saber Techniques in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. Many people had practiced it before. When Xiao Chen was underground, he had seen Ma Chen use it. Its might was indeed extraordinary.
There were no requirements for the attribute of the cultivator's Martial Spirit. It was a choice. Xiao Chen slowly placed it down. If there were no other choices, he would choose it.
Xiao Chen continued looking. The remaining two Saber Techniques were the Wind and Thunder Saber Technique and the Lingyun Saber Technique.
The Wind and Thunder Saber Technique was a Superior Grade Profound Ranked Saber Technique. However, it had very high requirements for practicing it. One had to have a dual-attributed Martial Spirit to practice it. There were very few people with such a physique. Hence, it was not very popular. Hence, it was demoted to Inferior Grade Profound Ranked.
The Lingyun Saber Technique had a total of eighteen moves. It was created by a senior of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion on the highest peak of the Lingyun Mountain Range. After cultivating it for a hundred years, he suddenly comprehended it while looking at the majestic Lingyun Mountain Range.
Unfortunately, this Saber Technique was not a complete Saber Technique. Xiao Chen did not know why, but he destroyed the final three moves of this Saber Technique. This resulted in this Saber Technique, which was originally comparable to a peak Superior Grade Earth Ranked Saber Technique, being demoted to Inferior Grade Earth Ranked.
Because it was missing the final three moves, it was not a complete Martial Technique. Furthermore, it had very high requirements for comprehension. Hence, like the Wind and Thunder Saber Technique, very few people practiced it.
Of the four Saber Techniques, the Withered Wood Saber Technique did not match. The Wind and Thunder Saber Technique had too high requirements. Xiao Chen could only choose from the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique and the Lingyun Saber Technique.
The names of these two Saber Techniques were very interesting. One was named Mountain Splitting and the other was named Mountain Range. Xiao Chen did not know if the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique that he practiced to Great Perfection would be able to split the Lingyun Mountain Range that he practiced to Great Perfection.
The two Saber Techniques had their own unique points. However, the Lingyun Saber Technique was on a higher level. However, because it had a higher requirement for comprehension and was missing the final three moves, there were not as many people practicing it as there were for the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen picked up the Lingyun Saber Technique, "I'll choose this. Although the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique is the complete version, there are too many people practicing it in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. It is too ordinary."
The Lingyun Saber Technique was more suitable for him. Although it had a higher requirement for comprehension, Xiao Chen lacked a lot of things. However, he lacked comprehension. He was not afraid of not being able to practice this Lingyun Saber Technique well.
Who knew, with his current comprehension, it might even be possible for him to comprehend the final three moves by himself.
After making up his mind, Xiao Chen started to flip through the Lingyun Saber Technique. After flipping a few pages, he finished reading the introduction. However, he discovered that there were only blank pages.
The meridian circulation routes, the Mental Cultivation Method, the names of the moves … there was nothing. Xiao Chen flipped through the other secret manuals and discovered that they were the same. There were only rough introductions, and the rest were blank pages.
After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen understood the crux of the matter. Most cultivators had very good memories. If all the Cultivation Techniques here were completely recorded, they would be able to memorize them in half a day.
They could memorize a Martial Technique in half a day. Furthermore, there were geniuses with photographic memory. They would probably be able to memorize all the Martial Techniques in the Compendium Pavilion in a day.
Given this, the rule of using contribution points to exchange for Martial Techniques would be useless. It would be more troublesome to obtain the secret manual than he imagined.
After putting away the Lingyun Saber Technique, Xiao Chen did not see Liu Suifeng. He was not in a rush to return, so he started to wander around the second floor.
Xiao Chen started to wander around the bookshelves. Occasionally, he would flip through the various Martial Techniques. Looking at the introductions was a way to broaden his horizons. In the future, if he met an enemy who practiced this type of Martial Technique, he would be able to get a rough idea of it.
As he wandered around, Xiao Chen discovered a strange Martial Technique in the corner of a bookshelf. There was a note behind the Simplified Nine Saber Heavenly Exterminating Formation. This secret manual was still in the process of being theorized; it was not perfected yet. It was for reference only.
Nine Saber Heavenly Exterminating Formation … isn't that one of the three great formations of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion? Why is it here? Furthermore, it is a simplified version. Xiao Chen's interest was piqued. He quickly picked it up and flipped through it.
Unfortunately, it was the same as the other Martial Techniques. The simplified version of the Nine Saber Heavenly Exterminating Formation only had a rough introduction. The detailed method of operation was not written in it.
"Ye Chen, have you chosen your Martial Technique?" Liu Suifeng asked as he strolled over from behind.
Xiao Chen carefully put away the simplified Martial Technique. When he saw the secret manual in Liu Suifeng's hands, he could not help but be astonished, "The one in your hands seems to be an Earth Ranked secret manual."
Liu Suifeng nodded and said, "En, it is an Inferior Grade Earth Ranked Cultivation Technique. This is the contribution points that I earned from working as a caretaker at Jade Maiden Peak for the past half a year. This time, I can use it before the core disciple exam."
After the two of them spoke, they headed down the stairs. At the top of the stairs, there was a person in his twenties. He was wearing the gray robes of the Gangyu Peak cultivators. He had a rather handsome face, but he gave off a sinister aura.
When Liu Suifeng saw this person, his expression changed. He said in surprise, "Wang Rong, when did you come back?"
When Wang Rong saw Liu Suifeng's appearance, he smiled gently. He revealed an expression of disdain, "I just came back. After a year, you have not changed at all. No, you have become even weaker than before. Move aside!"
Wang Rong casually pushed Liu Suifeng's shoulder with his palm. He did not seem to use much strength, but Liu Suifeng's body was pushed back uncontrollably.
