There were no fixed guards at the entrance of the Heaven's Ao Building. There might be, but he would not be able to discover them. After walking through an unknown array, he could be considered to have truly entered the interior of the Heaven's Ao Building.
The building was split into five levels and was extremely spacious. In front of the building's entrance, there were rows and rows of green stone tables. On top of them, there was a faint glow of arrays.
There were only twenty to thirty people in the entire hall. They were spread out in the spacious hall and it was unusually quiet. It was not as crowded and bustling as Lou Xiaoyi had imagined. But then again, for things like cultivation techniques, who would not go back to study and cultivate after taking one? It would take at least a few years, or at most a few decades before taking one. It was not like they needed to buy fresh ones every day.
There was no one in uniform, nor was there anyone who looked like an attendant. There was only an old man sitting on a chair in an inconspicuous corner, resting with his eyes closed. Occasionally, a cultivator would take out a jade slip and respectfully walk up to the old man to record their names.
Gu Bei had explained the procedure very clearly to him. It was not troublesome.
Roughly speaking, there were only a few hundred jade scrolls on the first level. According to Gu Bei, the thing he wanted to take was among them!
Actually, the target was very obvious. Most of the arrays on the green stone tables were white. Only one place had a faint yellow glow. It was different from the rest.
Lou Xiaoyi was not in a hurry. Since he was here, of course he had to take a good look. Hence, he started from the entrance of the building and followed the order of the tables, looking down one by one.
After ten thousand years of inheritance, the details were arranged very carefully. Very few people would touch the real cultivation technique jade scrolls in the array. Because once you picked it up, your choice was basically decided. Everyone was looking at the introduction scrolls outside the array. These things did not need to be pasted. They were just ordinary scrolls. They mainly introduced the origin of the cultivation technique, its effects, taboos, conditions and so on.
Lou Xiaoyi looked for an hour and felt that he could not continue looking. Just as Gu Bei had said, if he planned to look through all the introductions of the cultivation techniques, he would not be able to leave this building without a few months!
It was really not a good thing to have too many cultivation techniques. It made it hard for people to choose from them. It was more like a way to show off.
After figuring this out, Lou Xiaoyi walked directly to the yellow light. There was not a single person in this place. It was not that it was not important, but it was too important. Therefore, every new disciple would choose this place at the first opportunity. They would not dilly-dally like Lou Xiaoyi.
He walked closer and took a closer look.
The Foundation Building Chapter of the Yellow Court Interior, the Foundation Building Chapter of the Daoist Scripture of Internal Nourishment, the Immeasurable Small World, the first chapter of the Big Dipper Scripture, the first chapter of the Xuanling Mystic Technique, the Primal Chaos Dao Foundation, the Heart of Heaven, the Sound of Thunder, the Thunder of Thunder, the Heart Sutra of Embryonic Breathing, the Heart Sutra of the Heart, the Six Ding and Six Jia Awakening, the Three Yang Inwardly, the Four Clearances Seclusion Technique, the Three Caves Treasure Pouch, the Five Elements Shifting Foundation Building Chapter, the Wind and Thunder Yu Steps, and the Three Lights Nine Transformations Mantra … These were the seventeen main Foundation Building exercises of the External Sword.
The remaining six techniques were all enveloped by the yellow light.
However, he decided to choose from the seventeen external sword techniques. He was very clear that with his current ability, he could not choose the most suitable technique from the other techniques. He might be able to in the future, but he definitely could not now!
That old fellow Gu Bei had been talking about the Five Elements for a long time. In the end, when he looked at it, there was only one book about the Five Elements! Could it be that his hidden meaning was for him to choose this one?
He was not a child. He would not give up his own thoughts just because of someone else's recommendation. This was different from a favor!
Therefore, he had to look through the seventeen techniques in detail.
After two hours, he first eliminated a few techniques that he did not feel, were obscure, unfamiliar, and seemed to be profound. To him, he agreed with Gu Bei's words. He had plenty of time to try out profound things in the future. The most important thing now was to build his foundation. If he set the difficulty level at hell from the start, he would be looking for trouble!
Therefore, after eliminating the Immeasurable Small World, Xuanling Mystic Technique, Chaotic Taoist Foundation, Ying Yuan Thunder, Thunder Attracting Crimson Script, Embryonic Breathing Internal Technique, Six Ding Six Jia, Four Brightness Secluded Passage, Treasure Pouch of Three Caves … He eliminated nine techniques in one go, giving him a more focused range of choices.
The remaining techniques, the Foundation Building Chapter of the Inner Scenery of the Yellow Court and the Foundation Building Chapter of the Inner Cultivation of the Taoist Scriptures, were the most basic techniques of Taoism. They were not biased, did not conflict, and were not unconventional. They were the purest basic techniques. On this basis, the cultivator could choose any Taoist technique in the future without any obstacles. Moreover, the speed of one's cultivation, the cultivation of one's mana, the tempering of one's body, and the balance of one's spirit were also the best choices!
Among the seventeen techniques, Tianxin Zhou was the only technique that vaguely involved the cultivation of one's spirit. The reason why he kept it was because his spirit was different from ordinary people. He wondered if there would be an unexpected surprise if it was combined with this technique.
The Internal Notes of the Three Suns was one of the few techniques that focused on the speed of cultivation. In the introduction, it said that in terms of the speed of cultivation, this technique was unique among the other techniques.
In the first chapter of the Big Dipper Scripture, he had an indescribable love for the stars. Perhaps it was because his soul had drifted in the universe for a long time, he regarded them as friends who could not speak. He also regarded himself as a star that could not shine. It was as if he would not feel lonely only when he was among the stars in the universe.
The Foundation Building Chapter of the Five Elements Shift, the Wind and Thunder Yu Steps, and the Mantra of Three Lights and Nine Changes were all techniques that were closely related to combat. From their names, it could be seen that they were almost blending speed into the technique. It was a bit similar to what Lou Xiaoyi did in the Gobi, pursuing the ability to attack while moving. This was his favorite method.
Choice. A cultivator would always face countless choices in his life. If he made the wrong choice this time, he would have to wait ten years to correct it!
He once again activated the method of elimination. He first eliminated the Internal Notes of the Three Suns. Thinking about it carefully, it was not a good thing to only focus on the speed of cultivation. For a few decades, your cultivation might suppress others, but when everyone reached the peak of the Foundation Building realm, the weakness of this technique would be exposed. It was not good for the formation of the Gold Core. Moreover, Swordsman was not an orthodoxy that relied on cultivation to win. Swordsman looked at explosive power. One, two, three, pay the bill. There were very few situations where they were entangled with each other.
Then, he erased Tianxin Zhou! Although it was very unique to use the Foundation Building realm to train one's spirit, it was twice the effort for half the result. A lot of effort and a lot of gain did not match, and the cost-effectiveness ratio was very low! The key point was that Lou Xiaoyi's unique spirit training technique was completely incompatible with Tianxin Zhou. If he had to train his spirit, he might as well choose the Big Dipper Scripture. At least it was related to the stars, and he might be able to learn from each other.
There were still six books left. Choosing was giving him a headache!
He had to choose between the foundation, the combination of cultivation and combat, and the feeling of intimacy!
Life was like a dream. When he needed to spend spirit stones to buy them, he didn't seem to have such worries. Now that there was a free one in front of him, he …
