The Premium Collection Pavilion was located in the deepest part of Ling Xian Valley. It was strictly managed and did not have many books. However, what was preserved were the true sect secret manuals. There were only a few thousand boxes. The reason why it was called a box was because the books here were no longer preserved with paper. Instead, they were preserved with golden books and jade slips. There were very few golden books and most of them were jade slips.
Although Qin Di had the pass token, he could not flip through all the jade slips at will. He could only choose a topic each time and ask the manager to take out a box. Then, he would sit in the library and read with his spirit consciousness.
He was not a Foundation Establishment disciple so he could only read and not copy the contents of the jade slips. That was because his cultivation was too shallow and it was easy to lose the sect's secret manuals.
The first thing Qin Di looked at was the method to temper one's mind. After a long time, he found two sets of secret manuals. One was the Spirit Cultivation Manual and the other was the Spirit Absent-Mindedness Guide. They were both passed down by Nascent Soul Perfected Lords. The Spirit Cultivation Manual was a technique to temper one's mind. Not only could it resist mental demons, it could also strengthen one's spirit consciousness. The Spirit Absent-Mindedness Guide was a technique to attack one's spirit consciousness.
At this moment, he did not want to focus on spirit consciousness attacks. However, the Waning Sunlight Candle and the Twilight Rain were too powerful. If he could learn the Spirit Absent-Mindedness Guide, there would definitely be unexpected benefits.
Qin Di couldn't copy them, so he could only memorize these two sets of techniques in his heart.
Thereafter, he asked the manager to change a box and read the subsequent cultivation techniques of the Sacred Wood Art and the Green Dragon Art. Among them, the Cultivation Technique of the Divine Wood Incantation was very complete. However, the Azure Dragon Incantation could only be cultivated to Consummation Foundation Establishment. There was nothing after that. Xiao Chen could not find a way to advance to the Golden Core Realm. He memorized the two cultivation techniques as well.
After returning, Qin Di first cultivated the Spirit Cultivation Manual for a month. After that, he felt refreshed and his mind was much more stable. His spirit consciousness had also extended by three feet and reached a range of ten feet. The improvement was very obvious.
At this moment, it was indeed easier to continue fusing the Waning Sunlight Candle and the Twilight Rain. He was no longer lost and could last four to six hours in one cultivation session.
This time, he spent a full year and two months in seclusion! By the time he came out of seclusion, it was already the spring of the fourth year since he had entered the sect. His cultivation had already reached the peak of the sixth layer of Qi Training, his Yin and Yang meridians had already been completely connected, and his divine sense had also extended to three and a half feet.
During this period, neither Meng Shi, Yang Yunsong, nor the leading Senior Brother, Xie Yunzhong, sent anyone to disturb him. He also did not participate in the annual assessment, because his cultivation had long exceeded the limits set by the Sect, and there was no need for him to participate in the assessment.
This could be seen from the ranking of the outer sect disciples. Out of a total of two thousand outer sect disciples in four batches, he was ranked 1180th. In other words, not only was he ranked first among this batch of disciples, but he had also surpassed the gap of ten years, surpassing the 320 previous batches of disciples. This was a shocking result!
This year was the year of the Sect Grand Competition. Since it was a competition, every disciple had to participate.
This competition was not only to test the cultivation level of the new disciples, but also to judge the leading Senior Brother and Meng Shi's ability to lead the team. If the disciples performed well, they would receive more rewards.
At this time, there was still a month before the Sect Grand Competition, and Qin Di did not want to continue cultivating. The long years of cultivation had already made him feel tired, and he needed to adjust for a period of time.
All this time, he had been busy raising his cultivation level, but he did not seriously practice his martial arts. Even among the eighteen killing moves of his trump card, the "Earth Conquering Secrets", he had only learned the first five moves.
If he participated in the Sect Grand Competition now, he really did not have any moves that he could use. He could not use the "Earth Conquering Secrets", nor could he use the "Spirit Absentmindedness Attraction". Fortunately, he still had the "Green Dragon Secret Art", which came with a series of moves.
Therefore, in the remaining month, Qin Di practiced the moves every day, from morning to night. Green Dragon Emerges From Water, Green Dragon Claws, Green Dragon Swings its Head, Green Dragon Turns its Body, Green Dragon Lands, Green Dragon Soars the Sky, Green Dragon Swallows the Clouds, Green Dragon Spits Mist, Cloud Dragon Appears, Divine Dragon Swings its Tail, and so on.
After five days, he was very familiar with these moves, and he went to find Jiang Yunmu to exchange moves.
Jiang Yunmu's progress was not slow either, and he had already cultivated to the late stage of the fourth layer. He would come to Qin Di's spiritual field almost every half a month, and he had already turned the ten thousand mu of spiritual field over countless times. Every time he turned the field, he could open up a few acupuncture points, so he did not get tired of it.
Now, he had another task, and that was to exchange moves with Qin Di.
Between the two of them, one used the moves of the Green Dragon Incantation, the other used the Earth Conquering Secrets for defense, and the Mustard Earth Conquering Secrets for offense. One's cultivation level was higher by two layers, and the other was taller and stronger. It was a good match.
Because Qin Di had not mastered the Earth Conquering Secrets, the Green Dragon Incantation that he used was not powerful enough, and it lacked the imposing aura of a dragon. However, it had the characteristic of the Green Dragon's Hundred Transformations. It moved around like a swimming dragon, sometimes swallowing and sometimes spitting, sometimes floating and sometimes sinking, sometimes big and sometimes small, changing unpredictably. The principle of moving and combining Yin and Yang, while still containing the possibility of an ambush. When he attacked, when his body arrived, and when he moved, the moves complemented each other. It was very ingenious, and it had already reached a certain level of proficiency.
Jiang Yunmu, on the other hand, was a different scene. His movements were strong and vigorous, and his movements were simple and unpretentious, but his strength was ferocious, and he had the posture of "shaking the mountain with a shake of his arm, shaking the heaven and earth with a stomp of his feet."
After exchanging moves with him, Qin Di felt that he had a deeper understanding of the Earth Conquering Secrets, and not long after, he also mastered the sixth move.
After practicing their punches and kicks, the two of them practiced their weapons. Qin Di used a spear, and Jiang Yunmu used an axe. Because the weapons were not easy to control, the two of them did not exchange moves in actual combat, and only sparred a few times.
Fortunately, the competition between Outer Sanctum disciples only involved punches, kicks, and wooden swords, and they were not allowed to use Spirit Weapons or Dharma Tools. The Golden Elixir Sect was a famous orthodox sect, and it only had a total of 2,000 Outer Sanctum disciples. If they were to use weapons, they might very quickly lose all of them.
This was different from the Evil Sects, which used the method of nurturing Gu. They would recruit a large number of disciples at once, and then let them fight to their hearts' content. In the end, the one who would emerge victorious would definitely be the best among them, and the rest of the disciples would be used as whetstones.
When the Golden Elixir Sect nurtured its disciples, the early and middle stages of the Aura Refinement Realm mainly considered how to improve their skills. When they reached the late stages of the Aura Refinement Realm, when they were about to leave the Scarlet Flame Island, they would strengthen the cultivation of their martial techniques and movement skills. Finally, there was a specialized martial technique test, and only those who passed the test could go to the Outer Sanctum to carry out missions.
This method was a famous orthodox sect's nurturing method, and it could take care of the majority of the disciples, allowing them to cultivate in peace, and improve their cultivation as quickly as possible. However, this method also had its drawbacks, and that was, when fighting with the experts of the Evil Sects one on one, they would often not be able to kill their opponent, and would instead lose their own lives.
