After eating the steamed bun, Lu An left the black horse in the stable and went to the housing area alone.
Along the way, many people looked at Lu An and pointed at him. Lu An knew that he was a newcomer and would arouse people's curiosity. However, he did not take the initiative to greet anyone and went straight to the Sutra Depository that Chen Wuyong had mentioned.
In fact, only the Sutra Depository's door was open and there were people going in and out. Lu An walked to the door and let the people coming out go first before going in.
Entering the door, the first thing that came into view was six neat bookshelves surrounding the wall. Every bookshelf was filled with books, which made Lu An's eyes light up!
He had no choice. The situation of Blue Water Peak and the laziness here had made him lose all hope. He even thought that the Sutra Depository would only have a few books. He did not expect that there would be so many books! As long as there were books, even if a master did not teach him, he could still learn by himself!
Lu An was overjoyed and hurried into the room. At this time, the bookshelves were filled with people and there was no space for him to squeeze in. Although Lu An knew that those bookshelves might have good Heaven Arts, he was not in a hurry and went to the empty bookshelves.
He stood in front of a bookshelf that was much taller than him. This bookshelf was different from the other five. The books were covered in dust and the thick layer of dust meant that no one had touched them for a long time.
Lu An looked around and saw that this bookshelf was the only one that no one was fighting with him for it. Looking at the bookshelf in front of him, Lu An did not know which book was good and randomly picked one.
This book was right in front of Lu An. When he took it out, a cloud of dust hit him. Lu An frowned slightly and waved the dust away before looking at the book.
《Imperial Water Arts》.
Lu An was startled and immediately flipped to the first page. The first page was an overview of the 《Imperial Water Arts》 and was easy to understand. The effect of the 《Imperial Water Arts》 was very simple. After learning it, one could walk on the waves. One could even come and go freely in the water and greatly increase the time a human could survive in the water.
Lu An was shocked. This Imperial Water Art was a good thing. As long as he could learn this, he would be able to hold on for a while even if he was trapped in the water.
At this moment, a woman walked past Lu An. Seeing the book in Lu An's hand, a trace of condescension appeared in her eyes, and she stopped behind Lu An.
"You really know how to pick," the woman said sarcastically. "You really pick whatever is useless."
Lu An was stunned. He turned around and looked at the woman. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Senior Sister, please guide me."
"You're quite sincere in calling me Senior Sister. I'll spend some time to explain it to you." The woman waved her hand and said, "A person's energy is limited, and the number of Heavenly Arts they can learn is limited. Heavenly Arts can only be unleashed when they are cultivated to a high level, so when choosing Heavenly Arts, you have to prioritize the ones that are powerful. "
"This 《Imperial Water Art》 seems to be useful, but it's actually completely useless. So what if he could walk on water? So what if he could move in water? Let alone a Level One Heavenly Master, even a Level Two Heavenly Master could not create a waterfall that could completely trap someone inside. "The woman said flatly.
Lu An was stunned, but he nodded. This woman did have a point. Although a Level One Heavenly Master could create a waterfall, it was only used for attack. Even a Level Two Heavenly Master could not create one as big as Jiang He's. However …
Lu An frowned slightly. Looking at the 《Imperial Water Art》 in his hand, he still felt that this thing had some uses.
Not to mention anything else, just the fact that he would not be afraid of water after learning it was enough to pique Lu An's interest. At this thought, Lu An smiled and said gratefully, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sister."
"Hmm." The Senior Sister snorted coldly and left without saying anything else.
After the Senior Sister left, Lu An did not put the book back on the bookshelf. Instead, he kept it in his ring and looked around the bookshelf. He had already decided to take three books back. In his opinion, three books were enough. He did not need too many because the person in the black fog still had to teach him secret techniques. The Heavenly Skill was just for show.
After looking around, Lu An tiptoed and took a book from the top row. The 《Imperial Water Art》 was already very thick, but this book was even thicker. Lu An felt that the thicker the book, the more powerful it would be. Hence, he chose this book.
《Frost Mist》.
Lu An was stunned. He did not expect that he would be so lucky to find a Heavenly Skill related to ice so quickly. It could not be helped. Lu An's Fate Wheel was Deep Ice, and Deep Ice could not be turned into water. This did not mean that Lu An could not use the water element. It was just that once he used it, the water would not have the characteristics of Deep Ice at all.
Lu An quickly flipped to the first page and read the introduction carefully. Soon, he understood that the Frost Mist was similar to Camouflage. It could create a frozen space that could last for a long time without distracting the user. In this space, snowflakes and white mist would constantly fall, blocking everyone's vision.
This 《Frost Mist》 was also a support-type Heavenly Skill. Just like 《Imperial Water Art》, it did not have any actual attack power. Could it be that the entire bookshelf was filled with such books?
If that was the case, it would explain why this bookshelf was empty while the other bookshelves were full of people.
Lu An originally wanted to put this Heavenly Skill back. However, he thought that there was still one last book and there was no need to rush. Also, sealing one's vision could be useful sometimes. Hence, he put it in his ring for the time being.
Lu An looked at the bookshelf again. He thought that since he had chosen one in the middle and one at the top, the last book should be on the bottom row. At this thought, Lu An squatted down.
Looking at the books on the last row, he found that there was obviously more dust than the other books. It was obvious that this last row had not been visited for a long time. After looking back and forth, Lu An suddenly saw a pure black book. The book was covered by dust. In addition, it was black. It was hard to notice in the corner.
After thinking for a while, Lu An stretched out his hand and took out the book. After taking the book, Lu An was stunned.
Why was it so heavy?
Lu An looked at the book in confusion. This book was twice as heavy as the thickest book. However, what really surprised Lu An was that this book was the thinnest he had ever seen!
This book looked like it only had a few pages. There was not even an inch from the beginning to the back. Lu An looked at the name curiously.
《Ice Sword Dance》.
Lu An was stunned. He flipped to the first page. This 《Ice Sword Dance》 was finally an offensive-type Heavenly Skill. Although it was only a few pages, there were a total of six moves. Beside each move was a detailed explanation. More importantly, this was a second-grade Heavenly Skill!
Lu An's heart trembled. 《Fog of Frost》 was a first-grade Heavenly Skill. 《Imperial Water Technique》 was also a first-grade Heavenly Skill. Only this 《Ice Sword Dance》 was a second-grade Heavenly Skill. In Meteor Trail City, second-grade Heavenly Skills were priceless existences!
But …
Lu An frowned. He had always been using a dagger and had nothing to do with a sword. The difference between weapons was like heaven and earth. Whether it was the moves or the concept, it was completely different. There was simply no way to learn from it. However, Lu An did not want to give up on his dagger.
Looking at such a good book in front of him but unable to learn it, Lu An could only sigh. He placed the real book back to its original position. After browsing through the bookshelf for a while, he finally chose the last book. It was the most basic first-grade Heavenly Skill 《Rain of Icicles》.
As the name implied, this Heavenly Skill was a rain of sharp icicles that fell from the sky. Similar to the Fog of Frost, the Rain of Icicles did not require the user to control it. Or rather, it was impossible to control it. A first-grade Heavenly Skill was the most basic.
After choosing three books, Lu An placed them into his ring. He then turned to look at his surroundings. Those people were still discussing and choosing. Lu An understood the principle of biting off more than one could chew. He did not covet the Heavenly Skills here and turned to leave.
When Lu An walked out of the house, the sun was still in the northwest. It was still early. Since he had found a Heavenly Skill, he naturally wanted to go back and try it out. Hence, he headed straight for his house in the forest.
Creak Creak.
His shoes stepped on the thick snow. Lu An kept his head down. His mind was still thinking about which of the three Heavenly Skills he should cultivate first. At this moment, a few figures suddenly stood in front of him.
Lu An was stunned. Looking at the few pairs of legs in front of him, he slowly raised his head and looked at the four people in front of him.
These four people, he had never seen a single one of them before.
Although these people did not look friendly, Lu An still took the initiative to speak after some consideration. He politely asked, "Seniors, may I ask what's the matter?"
"You're the newcomer, right?" One of them took a step forward and looked down at Lu An. He sneered and said, "These seniors of yours are nothing much. They just heard that you didn't follow the rules and are here to teach you a lesson!"
