In the following days, Lin Xuan studied the sword intent seed while waiting for the third test. A few days later, someone from the inner sect informed Lin Xuan to receive the reward for the second test.
The person who came was Elder Fang's doorman. He led Lin Xuan to Elder Fang's small courtyard and then went to inform Elder Fang.
In the quiet courtyard, other than Lin Xuan, there were two other people. They were Shangguan Liuyun and Duan Fei. They were second and third place, so they naturally had rewards.
Lin Xuan greeted the two of them and then stood to the side, waiting for Elder Fang. A moment later, Elder Fang, who was dressed in a Daoist robe, walked out with a smile.
"I will be responsible for the rewards for the three of you. According to the rules, the first place will be rewarded with a Pure Spirit Pill, a Mid-Profound Rank Martial Art, and a Human Rank Artifact."
"The second place will be rewarded with a Low-Profound Rank Martial Art and a Small Yellow Pill."
"The third place will be rewarded with a Profound Rank Martial Art."
Elder Fang said unhurriedly, "Lin Xuan, Shangguan Liuyun, the two of you are here to receive your pills."
Lin Xuan and Shangguan Liuyun walked forward and took the two white porcelain bottles. Then, they respectfully retreated. Lin Xuan opened the bottle and found a longan-sized pill inside. There was a faint green color flowing on top of it. The medicinal fragrance made people feel refreshed.
"This pill can actually raise one's cultivation by a small realm! It's really abnormal! "Lin Xuan carefully put it away and waited for what would happen next.
Elder Fang saw that Lin Xuan could remain calm under the temptation of a Grade Three Pill. His eyes flashed with a trace of surprise. He took out another item and threw it to Lin Xuan.
"This is the Human Rank Artifact rewarded by the sect, a storage ring."
Lin Xuan took the ring and put it on happily. With this, he would have a lot of things to carry. He immediately used his divine sense to touch the storage ring and put the Pure Spirit Pill inside.
"Alright, let's go to the Martial Skills Pavilion!" Elder Fang waved his hand and covered the three of them. Then, he flew away like a breeze.
The three of them only felt a hazy fog wrap around their bodies. Then, their bodies left the ground and flew quickly. They couldn't see what was happening outside, but based on their senses, they were flying upwards.
Not long after, Lin Xuan and the other two stood on the ground again. The three of them circulated their spiritual energy and immediately woke up.
"Follow me closely. Don't get lost," Elder Fang instructed. Then, he walked in a certain direction.
The three of them hurriedly followed behind, afraid that they would lose him. However, the three of them looked around curiously, their faces filled with curiosity.
The path made of bluestone slabs was winding, leading into the distance. On both sides of the path, there were many flowers and trees. In the distance, there were a few grand palaces. They were covered by clouds and mist, making them seem unreal.
During this time, they also encountered some disciples. These people all looked hurried, and their auras were abnormally powerful. Lin Xuan and the other two could not compare to them.
"Is this the inner sect?" Lin Xuan whispered.
"Yes, the inner sect and outer sect are on two different mountains. Usually, they don't move around. Ordinary outer sect disciples don't know about the inner sect's situation, and inner sect disciples don't return to the outer sect." Duan Fei said.
Shangguan Liuyun took a deep breath and exhaled after a while. "The spiritual energy here is much richer than the outer sect. Cultivating here will probably be twice as fast as cultivating in the outer sect."
The three of them discussed in whispers. They were filled with yearning for the inner sect. Lin Xuan thought about how he would be able to cultivate here soon and immediately felt excited.
If there were no accidents, he would soon become an inner sect disciple. His next goal would be to become a core disciple! Only then would he be qualified to return to his family.
The further in they went, the fewer trees on both sides. Instead, there were some buildings and terraces. Furthermore, there were more and more people. Many inner sect disciples looked at the three of them with interest.
Elder Fang led the three of them through the buildings and houses. Finally, they stopped in front of a building.
Lin Xuan looked up. In front of him was an octagonal pavilion. There were three floors, and each floor was fifty to sixty feet tall. Above the main entrance of the first floor, there was a black plaque. On it, there were three large golden words, "Martial Skills Pavilion."
These three words were written forcefully and deeply, and they emanated a grand aura that caused others to feel awestruck just by looking at them.
"Old Mo, an old friend is here to see you!" Elder Fang laughed.
Whoosh!
As Elder Fang's words fell, Lin Xuan and the other two felt a blur in front of them. When they blinked again, they found a hunchbacked old man in gray standing in front of them.
The three of them were shocked. They did not see where the hunchbacked old man came from. It was as if he had appeared out of thin air. Moreover, the hunchbacked old man looked like an ordinary person. There was nothing special about him.
"Alchemy Maniac Fang, you're still willing to come out of your alchemy room?" The hunchbacked old man scolded with a smile. "Why did you bring three little babies?"
"Old Mo, I'm here on official business. These three disciples are the top three of this year's tournament. According to the rules, they will enter the Martial Skills Pavilion to choose a Profound Level Cultivation Method. Arrange it for them."
"Humph, I was wondering why an alchemy maniac like you was willing to come out. It turns out that you have a mission." The hunchbacked old man snorted. "If you don't drink with me today, I'll eat all your pills in two days!"
Without waiting for Elder Fang's response, the hunchbacked old man said to Lin Xuan and the other two, "The three of you go to the first floor. According to your ranking, each of you will choose a martial skill. The time limit is thirty minutes."
Lin Xuan and the other two respectfully agreed. Then, they excitedly walked into the Martial Skills Pavilion.
Pushing open the vermillion door, Lin Xuan walked in. Inside were rows of bookshelves, but there was no one. In the entire hall of the first floor, there were only Lin Xuan and the other two.
"It seems that the Martial Skills Pavilion is open on a daily basis. Let's hurry and find a suitable martial skill." Duan Fei said.
The three of them did not delay and began to busy themselves. Lin Xuan walked to a row of bookshelves and picked up a book to read. However, he found that there was only a name and a brief introduction. There was not a single word about cultivation.
After thinking for a moment, he felt relieved. The Martial Skills Pavilion was an important place in the sect. Of course, martial skills would not be easily placed here. It should be that the inner sect disciples chose a martial skill according to the brief introduction, and the elders would teach them the real cultivation content.
Lin Xuan slightly tidied up his situation. He found that he did not need to change his swordsmanship for the time being. The Thunderous Sword Art was still his strongest martial skill. For the time being, he did not need a new swordsmanship.
As for the footwork and body refining martial skills, he cultivated them to the middle yellow rank. Moreover, they were cultivated to the great perfection stage. As his cultivation increased, these two martial skills fell behind.
Whether it was footwork or body refining martial skills, Lin Xuan decided to choose footwork. He did not particularly need body refining martial skills. However, in terms of footwork, he fell behind by a lot. If he encountered a speed type disciple like Duan Fei, he would not have any advantage.
With a goal in mind, Lin Xuan quickly began to search.
