I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

Chapter 189 Selecting Secrets

There were many small circles that invited Zhong Lixiao to gatherings, but he only participated in a few of them symbolically.

But even so, it still brought them closer to each other to a great extent.

Just like Yugong Zichi, after getting to know him for a long time, you will find that this person may be a little clumsy in speaking, but he is extremely clear-headed in his heart.

Like Xiang Xueer, the more you get to know her, the more you feel that she is a lovely "cat woman".

Especially the kitten temperament that she inadvertently reveals is very adorable.

Zhong Lixiao guessed that this girl's ancestors must have the blood of some cat demon.

very interesting!

As for Qiu Xie, this person is very strange.

The longer Zhong Lixiao was in contact with him, the more unfathomable he felt.

But for some reason, he always felt a sense of incongruity.

Just like that, after round after round of small circle gatherings, Zhong Lixiao finally broke free from these social trivialities.

Afterwards, he couldn't wait to go to the Sutra Library of Baiyun Temple to pick out some martial arts secret manuals for him or his disciples to use.

After passing the fifth floor of the Temple of War God, Zhong Lixiao obtained 3100 cloud coins.

The same goes for the Floating Cloud Tower, which also rewards 3100 cloud coins.

But in Xinhai Pavilion, Zhong Lixiao was ranked first on the Xinbei list because of his outstanding performance, and his reward soared to 10000 cloud coins.

Together they amounted to 16200 Yunbi, and Zhong Lixiao became rich overnight.

Although he obtained them all through his own ability, it still gave him a deeper understanding of the welfare benefits of a large sect like Baiyun Temple.

This scholarship mechanism is really friendly to academic masters.

As long as you perform well enough, you can even make more money than completing various tasks.

Money is only meaningful if it can be quickly converted into strength, so Zhong Lixiao couldn't wait to come to the Sutra Library.

As for these rewards, he didn't even need to go out of his way to claim them. As soon as the discussion meeting was over, a deacon from the Finance Hall personally delivered them to him.

What’s even more thoughtful is that the deacon of the Finance Hall even used some of his authority to help him exchange some of the cloud currency rewards into tri-color cloud coins.

You should know that such a three-color cloud coin can be directly exchanged for a top-grade spirit stone.

Not only that, he was also given the authority to exchange 20 Ercai Cloud Coins.

In the end, Zhong Lixiao directly "cashed out" the cloud currency and exchanged it for high-grade and medium-grade spirit stones.

When Zhong Lixiao received these rewards, he felt so happy that his whole heart was leaping with joy.

Medium-grade and high-grade spirit stones are extremely useful.

If he really needed spirit stones, he could sell them all out and exchange them for lower-grade spirit stones, making a killing.

This is because mid-grade and high-grade spirit stones are so scarce that they are priced but not sold.

Anyone willing to take action can definitely make a fortune from the exchange rate difference.

And that’s one of the benefits of this big splash!
When everyone was full of confidence and expectations for Zhong Lixiao's future, "investment" from various channels followed one after another.

Essentially, the deacon of the Finance Hall used the privileges of his position to frantically fleece the sect, and then invested in order to win over Zhong Lixiao.

Zhong Lixiao guessed that this move was most likely approved by the top management of the Finance Department!

Due to the need to purchase martial arts secrets and treasures, Zhong Lixiao even took out some spirit stones and exchanged them for cloud coins.

The Finance Department also gave the green light to this.

Soon, the amount of cloud coins on Zhong Lixiao's body climbed to 30,000.

If someone else came, things would definitely not be so easy.

There might be a large additional handling fee or other miscellaneous fees, but with Zhong Lixiao, they are all waived.

Everyone is against privileges, but when you are the one enjoying the privileges, it feels so good!
The Sutra Repository is located on the middle peak of Baiyun Temple.

From a distance, it looks like a loft standing between the peaks, which is very quaint.

but.

When Zhong Lixiao actually flew into the Sutra Repository on his sword, it was as if he had entered a whole new little world.

The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and the whole place is peaceful.

As far as the eye can see, there are ancient trees and roads leading to all directions. Everywhere you can see monks from Baiyun Temple reading books.

Some of them are very young and energetic, while others are gray-haired, but still hungry for knowledge.

It can be seen that they are all very dedicated and immersed in the ocean of knowledge.

The scenes before him made Zhong Lixiao very surprised, and even felt a little nostalgic.

Because the scene before him looked so much like the library of his university in his previous life.

The rich learning atmosphere in the library and the relaxed feeling in other corners of the campus are like two completely different worlds.

Even Zhong Lixiao subconsciously slowed down the speed and movement of his sword!
As he entered the first floor of the Sutra Library, the learning atmosphere inside became more intense.

During this process, even some fellow disciples recognized Zhong Lixiao, and they immediately smiled and greeted him enthusiastically.

But because we were in the Sutra Repository, everyone was very restrained.

Even though he was very happy and surprised to see Zhong Lixiao, he just waved his hand with a smile on his face.

Zhong Lixiao returned the gifts one by one.

After carefully observing all directions, even Zhong Lixiao was quite looking forward to it.

I feel like he should take some time to come and borrow books in the future.

Especially considering that his master is improving the Five Spirit Mirror and may launch a virtual Sutra Library at any time, it is necessary for him to increase his reading volume and knowledge reserves.

However, his goal was to exchange for the secret manual of martial arts, so he went straight to the second floor.

Compared to the crowded first floor, where fellow students are immersed in knowledge, the second floor is relatively quiet.

At the entrance, there is even only an old counter.

Sitting in front of the counter was an old man with gray hair who looked like he was already in his eighties.

At this time, he was holding an old thread-bound book and reading it with great interest.

Sensing Zhong Lixiao's arrival, the old man said calmly without even looking up, "You can take a look at the books inside. Once you have made your choice, bring them to me and buy them."

"Yes."

Zhong Lixiao immediately clasped his hands together and bowed.

The old man said nothing and just waved his hand casually.

Zhong Lixiao then walked into the library of Baiyun Temple where the secret books were stored.

In just a moment, Zhong Lixiao was completely shocked by the scenes before him.

What comes into view is densely packed with books on various martial arts techniques.

They exist in various forms, some of which are very ancient, including bamboo slips, tortoise shells, stone slabs, and silk.

Some are full of exotic styles, and the writing materials are animal skin scrolls.

Some are jade slips that can be read directly with spiritual consciousness.

As for the most, they are mainly paper books.

It can also be seen from the different carriers of these books that the Baiyun Temple Sutra Repository has a long history and has witnessed the development of human civilization to some extent.

But from another perspective, it can also be seen that Baiyun Temple is indeed worthy of its status as a place of worship for immortals.

The collection of books is innumerable and the knowledge is unfathomable.

Zhong Lixiao simply scanned with his spiritual sense and found that his spiritual sense was bounced away immediately after touching the secret books placed on the bookshelf, and he was unable to peek into the real contents.

Zhong Lixiao had psychological expectations for this.

The inheritance of martial arts skills is of vital importance to any force, and high-level confidentiality measures are necessary.

What really shocked Zhong Lixiao was that there were so many martial arts techniques here.

[Too amazing, there must be hundreds of thousands of secret manuals here!]
What is the concept?
If a young monk gets a copy of "Earth Mother Power", it will be enough to pass it down to the family. If he gets a copy of "Herb Classic", he can live a very good life by selling medicine.

but.

There are hundreds of thousands of secret books on martial arts here.
No wonder small families are as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river, rising and falling suddenly, but the immortal sect always stands like a rock.

You have to know that this is only the second floor of the Sutra Library. He is not even qualified to go to higher floors now.

The difference in background is really too big!
After a brief exploration, Zhong Lixiao discovered that the secret books on the second floor were mainly divided into three categories: "Magic", "Skills" and "Miscellaneous".

Dharma mainly refers to the method of spiritual practice.

Qi training, body training, and spiritual awareness, anything related to realm improvement, are classified as "methods".

Techniques mainly refer to various spells and combat skills, mainly referring to various secret techniques.

As for the classification of miscellaneous areas, this is too complicated.

Alchemy, medicine, spiritual plants, insect breeding, puppets, formations, etc. are basically classified into the "miscellaneous" category.

For Zhong Lixiao, there is the "True Method of Controlling Earth" for Qi training, and the "Arhat Golden Body" and "True Method of Controlling Earth" for body training. The most scarce one is the spiritual training method.

But now that he has the ultimate secret technique "Boundless Sea of Heart", he essentially no longer needs to exchange for spiritual skills.

but.

Considering that King Wucheng also needed it, he felt that he still needed to exchange one.

As for the Qi training methods, it would be best to exchange for fire and ice methods.

The former can be practiced by the eldest disciple Xue Jingliang and Wu Chengwang, while the latter is exactly what the third disciple Hu Xiaolu needs. As for the second disciple Ning Yunzhi, the water-based technique she is currently practicing, the Ripple Technique, is generally quite good and does not need to be changed.

but.

She also needs a body-building method that's suitable for her!

If possible, Zhong Lixiao also hopes to find a secret Shinto method suitable for the Mountain Goddess, but he doesn't know if there is one.

Afterwards, Zhong Lixiao began to look for various secret methods seriously.

The first is to practice Qigong, which is really cheap.

Even the most advanced secret method of Qi training would not cost more than twenty cloud coins.

This reminded Zhong Lixiao of the time when he bought "Earth Mother Power" in Fengxi Market, and the whole copy cost him thirty spirit stones.

Although "Earth Mother Kung Fu" is not a street stall product, it is definitely not a top-level inheritance.

From this horizontal comparison, we can see how conscientious the skills in the Baiyun Monastery's Sutra Library are.

"So cheap! This is really the sect's internal price!"

Afterwards, Zhong Lixiao searched around and found a book called "Canglang Jue".

The price is 25 cloud coins.

This price once again made Zhong Lixiao stunned.

"Canglang Jue" is a very famous technique, the top-level technique among water-based techniques.

While once again admiring the heritage of Baiyun Temple, Zhong Lixiao's sense of identification with Baiyun Temple also soared sharply.

How could one not like a sect with such a profound heritage and such a powerful scholarship mechanism from the bottom of one's heart?

Subsequently.

Zhong Lixiao also discovered that there were various books of "xxx Small Essays xxx" on the bookshelf. Basically, they were all the experiences and insights left by the senior monks of Baiyun Temple when they practiced a certain secret technique.

This kind of book is no less than the annotated "Guanhong Spear Secret" taught to him by his ancestor Zhong Anhe. It is a secret among secrets, but it can be found everywhere on the bookshelf of the Sutra Library.

Great!

Half an hour later.

After searching through all the bookshelves in the Sutra Library, Zhong Lixiao finally found the secret method he wanted.

The first one is the secret method of spiritual consciousness. Zhong Lixiao chose a book called "Nine-Rank Lotus Platform Divine Method".

When practicing this method to cultivate spiritual consciousness, it mainly simulates the process of planting lotus seeds in the sea of consciousness, then nurturing the lotus seeds to take root and sprout, and finally blooming into a ninth-grade lotus platform.

This is a very moderate and peaceful martial arts method. Although it is far inferior to the "Boundless Sea of Heart" secret method he is practicing now, it is also top-notch among the spiritual secret methods.

You can continue practicing until the late stage of foundation building.

The price is 200 cloud coins, which is very reasonable.

Zhong Lixiao has already made up his mind and intends to make this method the most core secret method of spiritual consciousness in his lineage.

So, he needs to buy at least four copies.

King Wucheng, Xue Jingliang, Ning Yunzhi, and Hu Xiaolu.

Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, he himself also practiced this method.

The main reason for repeated purchases is because of the rules of Baiyun Temple.

Baiyun Temple has a scholarship mechanism, and the skills here are generally cheaper than those outside, but you have to buy them with your own money.

Otherwise it would be stealing.

Once discovered by the sect, the problem will be very, very serious!
And this is 800 cloud coins.

Next, Hu Xiaolu was going to practice the ice-based skills.

Zhong Lixiao chose a book called "Three Feet of Ice", which was very cheap, 180 cloud coins.

This is an advanced technique that can be practiced to the level of foundation building.

Zhong Lixiao felt that this was enough, and he had not yet arranged any body training for Hu Xiaolu.

Hu Xiaolu has a mutant ice-type spiritual root. There is no bottleneck in her cultivation to the foundation-building stage. She doesn't even need a foundation-building pill. She can completely improve her cultivation level first.

As for his second disciple Ning Yunzhi, Zhong Lixiao exchanged the body-refining technique "Jiuyuan Fati" for her.

Unlike Hu Xiaolu, Ning Yunzhi's magical power is the "Law of Power", so she must take an all-round combat route.

Body training is a must!

This method can be practiced all the way to the late stage of foundation building, and the price is not high, 150 cloud coins.

The reason why he chose this method instead of teaching her "Golden Body of Arhat" was that he himself did not have the "copyright" to the complete version of "Golden Body of Arhat" and could not teach it.

The second is that the "Golden Body of Arhat" and the "Ripple Power" practiced by Ning Yunzhi are not compatible.

Once she chooses to practice this method, she will inevitably follow Zhong Lixiao's old path and mix up the techniques.

In this regard, Zhong Lixiao could only say: How could he have had the conditions that Ning Yunzhi has now?

As for why she didn't choose the "Water Control Method", the main reason was that Ning Yunzhi already had the foundation of the "Ripple Power", and it was not cost-effective to change the skills.

The highest realm of "Ripple Power" is to pursue "an ancient well without waves" and "no ripples", which is very consistent with "Nine Abyss Dharma Body".

As for Xue Jingliang, his most important task at present is to build his foundation through the "Red Flame Art".

All other distractions are inappropriate!
However, due to the need to improve King Wucheng, Zhong Lixiao still exchanged for "The True Method of Controlling Fire" and "Zhurong Taoist Body".

The quality of these two sets of skills is very high, and the total cost is 400 cloud coins.

As for the secret techniques of spearmanship, Zhong Lixiao searched for it but found nothing particularly suitable.

During the foundation-building period, the "Guanhong Spear Technique" passed down by the ancestor Zhong Anhe is sufficient.

If you want more advanced spear secrets, you have to go to the third floor at least.

In addition, Zhong Lixiao also bought a book called "Encyclopedia of Magic".

This is much more comprehensive than the "Detailed Explanation of Magic" compiled by the Taoyuan Zhong family after they wiped out many surrounding families and collected the essence of each family's magic.

It even includes some very rare spells.

for example.

Gravity magic, levitation magic, machine pulling magic, star pulling magic, soul pulling magic, etc.

This technique is considered a secret technique at the foundation-building level and is worth 100 cloud coins.

If Zhong Lixiao wants to teach it to his disciples, he still needs to buy it again.

There is no way, this is the rule of Baiyun Temple.

Training apprentices also costs money!

It’s a pity that Zhong Lixiao didn’t find the secret method of Taoism suitable for the Mountain Goddess.

In the end, Zhong Lixiao spent a total of 1630 cloud coins.

He bought almost all the secret techniques that their lineage would need for future cultivation at once.

Considering the price, it’s quite cheap!
In addition, the cloud coins he is spending now are almost all earned by "brushing points" not long ago, so he doesn't feel bad about spending them.

rich!

When he walked to the counter, he immediately told the octogenarian the secret method he had chosen and the repeated purchases for his apprentice.

The octogenarian was a little surprised.

More than 1,600 cloud coins are not a small amount for a cultivator who is building a foundation.

For Zhong Lixiao to be able to pull it out so easily, he must be an extraordinary genius.

It's just that he accepted disciples so early, and three at once. It's so unexpected!

In Baiyun Temple, those who accept disciples are generally Jindan Zhenren, and this is a sect task with assessment indicators.

Otherwise, many Jindan Zhenren would probably not bother to accept disciples!
Training apprentices consumes too many resources. Instead of wasting these resources on apprentices, it is better to use them on yourself.

If you are unlucky and meet an ungrateful person, then all your efforts will be in vain.

The octogenarian looked deeply at Zhong Lixiao with his confused eyes. The next moment, Zhong Lixiao's body, which was almost comparable to that of a Jindan Zhenren, suddenly made the old man's eyes glow with gold.

As for the mist that was rising in Zhong Lixiao's sea of consciousness, it gave him a fright.

Is this the protection of the Hall of Inquiry? !
What a genius!
The octogenarian didn't say anything else and quickly exchanged all the skills that Zhong Lixiao needed.

It seems that such a genius has a strong sense of autonomy, so why should he interfere?

at the same time.

Zhong Lixiao's heart also moved, and he felt that the protective fog of the Hall of Inquiry was constantly surging.

This made him feel a chill in his heart!

Who is this old man?
A master like the Sweeping Monk?

The background of Baiyun Temple is really terrifying!
However, after thinking about it for a while, it seems normal.

After all, this is the Sutra Repository, the foundation of Baiyun Temple's inheritance.

The fact that it can be left to such an old man to look after alone speaks volumes.

Afterwards, everything went according to plan and went unexpectedly smoothly.

Only after walking out of the Sutra Library did Zhong Lixiao breathe a sigh of relief.

Then his eyes turned to Wanbao Tower. Whenever there were treasures on the shelves inside Baiyun Temple, they could basically be seen on the shelves of Wanbao Tower.

I just wonder if there are any magic weapons for sale?
