Chapter 32

Zhan Chen once again came to the front of the Martial Skill Pavilion and was stopped by the two senior brothers who were on duty. They asked him for the challenge token.

This time, Zhan Chen showed them his inner disciple jade token and said, "Senior brother, I'm here to choose a martial skill."

The two were slightly surprised, but they retreated to the side and said, "Inner disciples can freely enter the Martial Skill Pavilion, but if you want to exchange for a martial skill, you need a challenge token."

Zhan Chen shook his head and thought, "Inner disciples are indeed treated differently. If it was an outer disciple, they wouldn't be able to enter."

So he walked into the Martial Skill Pavilion. As soon as he entered, he saw Liu Yunchang sitting there again. However, this time, the old man didn't stop him. He just glanced at him and closed his eyes to rest again.

Zhan Chen, on the other hand, bowed and asked, "Master Elder, may I know where to choose an inner disciple's martial skill?"

Liu Yunchang closed his eyes and replied, "Go to the second floor and you'll see it."

"Thank you, Elder!"

Zhan Chen walked up the stairs to the second floor with anticipation, and the senior brother who was standing there didn't stop him.

When he reached the second floor, Zhan Chen looked around and was confused. Other than the two senior brothers guarding the stairs to the third floor, he saw rows of bookshelves and jade scrolls on them. Other than that, there was nothing different from the first floor.

However, the number of jade scrolls on the second floor was obviously much less than the first floor, only about one-third of the number on the first floor.

Zhan Chen was just about to ask the senior brother who was on duty there where the martial skills were, when he suddenly saw eight martial skills placed in a corner. It was especially eye-catching in a room full of jade scrolls, so he couldn't help but walk up to take a look.

《Forging Fire Art》,《Waterfall Art》,《Gold Breaking Art》,《Thunder Art》...

There were actually eight types of high-grade yellow-class martial skills of different attributes! The wind category corresponded to metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, and ice, these eight types of Zhen Qi. What a huge collection!

Zhan Chen was pleasantly surprised, but then he was troubled. Which martial skill should he choose? He suddenly remembered that he had just obtained a martial skill from Lan Xing, the 《Fire Thunder Sword》. If he combined it with the 《Forging Flame Art》, his power would increase by several folds. Thus, he subconsciously extended his hand towards the 《Forging Flame Art》.

"Wait, choose 《Gold Breaking Art》!" At this moment, Psycho Boy's voice suddenly sounded in his mind, giving him a fright. He quickly communicated with Psycho Boy, "Psycho Boy, what did you say? Why choose 《Gold Breaking Art》? None of the Martial Techniques that I have mastered are of the metal attribute. "

Frightened Boy explained, "Master, once this attribute is chosen, you can't change it easily, so you must think twice before you act! The Wandering Dragon Soul Sword itself is a metal-type Dao Artifact, and I know that the original owner's cultivation technique was also metal-type. If you choose another type of cultivation technique, you will have to destroy your own cultivation technique in the future and start all over again. "

"So that's how it is!" Zhan Chen suddenly realized.

"There is also the elemental Quintessence. There are pros and cons as well. For example, if one uses elemental Quintessence to execute a Martial Technique of the same attribute, then the might of the Martial Technique would be five times stronger than if one used elemental Quintessence to execute a Martial Technique of a different attribute. But vice versa. If one uses elemental Quintessence to execute a Martial Technique of a different attribute, then the might would only be half of the original."

Zhan Chen nodded and said, "Even so, people are still willing to practice attribute cultivation methods because the strongest attack power is the most important thing for people."

"Yes, Master. There is one more thing that you have to pay attention to, that is, the five elements restrain each other. Gold attribute martial skills will be at a disadvantage when facing a fire attribute martial skill, but if you encounter an opponent who practices a wood attribute martial skill, you will have an advantage. "

"But there is no absolute in this world. Back then, with the help of this boy, my original master was invincible among those of the same rank!"

After listening to this detailed explanation, Zhan Chen's heart no longer hesitated. He picked up one of the 《Gold Breaking Art》 and flipped through it.

"Gold is hard and indestructible …"

Sections of the internal cultivation method flowed into his mind. The qi in Zhan Chen's meridians automatically flowed according to the path described in the cultivation method. Gradually, he gained a deeper understanding of the nature of gold.

The metal attribute was known as the strongest attack attribute. It was the natural nemesis of the wood and earth attributes which had strong defensive power. The 《Gold Breaking Art》, as the name suggested, cultivated qi that was incomparably domineering. It was indestructible and indestructible. It could even easily cut through gold and iron.

Zhan Chen was fascinated by it. He almost entered the state of cultivation until his senior brother reminded him. "Little brother, this is not the Cultivation Tower. Don't cultivate here!"

He woke up and apologized. "I'm sorry, senior brother. I unknowingly entered the state of cultivation."

The senior brother smiled. "This is normal. It's my first time here. I'm not much better than you. But you are not allowed to cultivate here. Hurry up and memorize the contents of the cultivation method. This cultivation method is not allowed to be taken out of the Martial Skill Pavilion."

"Thank you senior brother for your reminder."

Zhan Chen hurriedly memorized the contents of the cultivation method. He ran it a few times. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he stood up and left.

After leaving the Martial Skill Pavilion, he went straight to the Medicinal Pill Pavilion. The Medicinal Pill Pavilion was also a four-story building. The first floor provided all kinds of first-grade medicinal pills, which were usually used by Martial Disciples. The second floor provided mostly second-grade medicinal pills, and there were even a few third-grade medicinal pills, which were mainly used by Martial Masters. The third floor mainly provided third-grade medicinal pills, and only elite disciples and Sect Elders had the right to enter. As for the fourth floor, it was a mystery, and only the Sect Leader and Grand Elder could enter.

Different from the deserted Martial Skill Pavilion, the Medicinal Pill Pavilion was full of people. Zhan Chen went directly to the second floor. He came to the counter and said to a senior brother. "Senior brother, I'm here to collect the Spirit Heaven Pill."

The man looked at Zhan Chen and asked. "Hey, I've never seen you before. Are you a new inner disciple?"

"Yes, I'm Zhan Chen."

"Oh, good. I'm Han Hao. Here you are. This is the Spirit Heaven Pill for you at the end of this month. It's a second-grade pill. It can increase the efficiency of martial arts by nearly 50%. One pill can last for six hours. It's a rare good thing. Unfortunately, there are only ten pills a month. "

Zhan Chen took the jade bottle from Han Hao. He opened it and saw ten red pills lying in the bottle. A strong medicinal fragrance wafted out from the bottle. It made people's blood boil.

"Good stuff!" Zhan Chen quickly plugged the bottle to prevent the pill's efficacy from evaporating.

After leaving the Medicinal Pill Pavilion, he hurried to the outer dormitory and told his roommates the news that he had become an inner disciple.

Everyone felt like they were dreaming. Although they were disappointed, most of them were happy for him.

Cao Shuang was the most excited among them. She patted Zhan Chen's shoulder and said, "Zhan Chen! We have to call you senior brother from now on. "

Zhan Chen chuckled and replied, "Why are you guys being so polite with me? We'll always be brothers. Just call me by my name! "

"Good! We'll have someone to protect us from now on! Let's go and hold a celebration banquet for Brother Zhan Chen! "

So Zhan Chen was dragged away by the crowd to celebrate. He also dragged along a few of his good friends from the odd-job workers.

Never forget your brothers and never forget your roots. This was what his father often taught him. Now, Zhan Chen also practiced it.

After a night of revelry, Zhan Chen dragged his drunken self back to his courtyard. As soon as he entered the door, he fell asleep on his bed.

Until the next morning, he was awakened by a knock on the door. He was puzzled. "Who could it be? Looking for me so early in the morning? That's not right. I don't have many friends in the inner sect. Could it be senior brother Xu Pei? "
