Mythical Cultivation

As expected, as Wu Ming had guessed, if it was simply due to his outstanding contribution in this mission that he was given some additional rewards, it would be reasonable. However, to give him such a precious treasure with such a grand ceremony and fanfare was obviously not based on just this reason.

In fact, as early as after the eldest son returned to the mansion safely, he immediately discussed with his second uncle, third sister and several others in the mansion about Wu Qi's various performances in this operation.

When they heard that Wu Qi's cultivation had made such rapid progress, the second uncle and the third sister both agreed that Wu Qi must be given a more generous reward to match his outstanding achievements. It was for this reason that the meeting between the eldest son and Wu Ming took place, along with the remarkable and precious reward.

Wu Qi hadn't even turned twenty yet, but he had already reached the remarkable realm of controlling creatures! Even within the Bai family, where talented people abounded, only the beloved Third Miss, Bai Ningzhu, could rival such achievements.

However, everyone knows that the reason why Bai Ningzhu was able to reach this level at such a young age was due to a rare adventure.

It's important to note that in Changling County, cultivators who reach the Exorcist Realm before the age of twenty are practically legendary. Even if one considers the entirety of Changping County, such individuals are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

Looking at the entire territory of Yu State, although the number of such cultivators has increased slightly, most of them still come from the top sects of cultivation, and are also among the most talented disciples within the sect.

But who could have imagined that Wu Qi, just an ordinary guard in the Bai Mansion, could achieve such astonishing accomplishments at such a young age through his own hard work and talent? Faced with such a genius, everyone in the Bai Mansion naturally dared not neglect him, racking their brains to secure him with the most generous treatment.

After all, even if it is impossible to ensure that Wu Qi will work for the Bai Mansion for the rest of his life, at least he must be grateful to the Bai Mansion and feel a sense of belonging.

Unfortunately, Wu Ming hadn't received the memories left by his predecessor and was completely unaware of the above. Otherwise, with his intelligence, he would have easily discerned the eldest son's true intentions in coming.

Such a magical weapon is naturally what Wu Ming has always dreamed of, because this weapon is closely related to his personal safety in this world, it can be said to be a matter of life and death, and its importance is self-evident.

Not only that, Wu Ming also coveted the Soul-Enhancing Pill, which could increase spiritual awareness. You know, no matter which world you are in, pills with this effect are extremely rare.

In his previous world, Wu Ming had never even seen the shadow of a pill that could increase spiritual awareness. While he knew of several elixirs with similar effects, such as the mysterious Yiyun Grass and the dreamlike Huanmeng Flower, these elixirs were all rare treasures in the world. He had only heard of them, never having seen them in person.

Now, there was actually a pill that could directly increase spiritual consciousness. How could Wu Ming suppress his curiosity? He couldn't wait to personally verify the amazing effects of this pill.

However, in addition to weapons and elixirs, Wu Ming was also very interested in secret techniques that could significantly enhance his own strength. Even the Bai Mansion, with its profound heritage and far-reaching reputation, possessed very few such secret techniques.

Faced with such a rare opportunity, Wu Ming knew that such a treasure must be priceless. If he missed this chance, he would probably never have the chance to get it again in the future.

After careful consideration, Wu Ming's brow furrowed, his eyes flickering, as if he were experiencing a fierce internal struggle. Finally, he took a deep breath, and as if he had made up his mind, his eyes became firm, and he decided to listen to the voice in his heart.

Because that voice had been telling him that although weapons were powerful, they could still be obtained as long as he spent a certain amount of time and energy to find them or through trading; the same was true for elixirs, which could be obtained through various channels.

However, secret skills are something that can only be obtained once in a lifetime and cannot be sought after. If you miss this opportunity, you may never have such an opportunity again.

Having made up his mind, Wu Ming no longer hesitated. He raised his head and looked directly at the eldest son, Bai Junze, who was sitting in the main seat. He said loudly, "Eldest son, I have thought it through. I want to choose a secret technique. Please help me."

Hearing Wu Ming's words, Bai Junze was stunned at first, then he burst into laughter and said, "Haha, Wu Qi, Wu Qi, I didn't expect you to make such a wise choice. I really didn't misjudge you. Well, since you have made up your mind, come with me." With that, Bai Junze stood up and walked towards the door.

Wu Ming hurriedly followed Bai Junze, and the two of them left the room together. Bai Junze waved gently, and the two maids guarding the door hurried over. Bai Junze gave them a few instructions, then led Wu Ming towards the library. Along the way, Wu Ming felt anxious, unsure of what secret techniques awaited him.

Soon they arrived in front of the library, which was tall and majestic, with a magnificent aura, giving people a sense of solemnity.

Just as Wu Ming was surveying the building before him, a figure suddenly emerged from within, blocking their path. This figure, with white hair and a youthful face, appeared energetic and vigorous. It was none other than Elder Yan, the guardian of the library.

When Old Yan saw Bai Junze, a smile appeared on his face. He bowed and asked, "Young Master, how come you have time to come to the library today?"

"Hello, Master Yan! Today I have brought Wu Qi here to select some secret techniques. I would like you to show us the way."

The dignified and elegant young master spoke politely, carefully took out an exquisite and gorgeous token from his arms, and handed it to Mr. Yan with both hands.

The token shimmered with a warm luster, like a rare treasure. One side of the token was meticulously carved with a lifelike cloud pattern. These clouds were either stretched and flowing, or gathered and separated, as if containing some mysterious power.

On the other side of the token, there was a large, eye-catching white character. The character was written in a vigorous and powerful style, revealing an unquestionable majesty. There was no doubt that this was the token of the head of the Bai family, symbolizing the supreme power of the Bai family.

Originally, this crucial token had always been held and kept by the master of the Bai Mansion, General Bai.
