Four Seas Cloud Moon

Ji Zeming saw Lu Xiaotian walking over and followed him. The old man nodded with satisfaction. Lu Xiaotian bowed and said, "Hello, senior, I would like to know the rules here!"

If there are rules here, they exist; if there are no rules here, they don’t exist.

Then please give me some advice, senior!

You really want to know?

Well, please tell me, senior!

This place is divided into four floors, each containing different techniques and skills, divided into levels of Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow! This is the first floor, or Yellow level, the second floor is Mysterious level, the third floor is Earth level, and the fourth floor is Heaven level! Remember, you can only select two books at a time. If you don't choose the right one, you can put it back and choose again. If you don't choose on the first or second floor, and you don't choose on the third floor, and you don't choose on the fourth floor, there's no going back; you can only go forward and exit from the upper floors!

After understanding the rules and thanking the old man, they were about to leave when they were stopped and told, "I have a boxing technique that's quite suitable for you. Would you like to take a look? Oh, by the way, the grade is unknown!"

Lu Xiaotian and Ji Zeming exchanged a glance, and Ji Zeming said, "Thank you for your kindness, Senior. Let's go inside and choose!" Lu Xiaotian didn't expect Ji Zeming to refuse directly for him.

The old man smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay! Since you have concerns, you can make your own choice."

Ji Zeming saw Lu Xiaotian's confusion and explained, "Senior, please forgive my rudeness. I heard from my fellow disciples who learned martial arts from you that what was recorded there was inconsistent with reality, and that it later evolved into an ordinary entry-level boxing technique!"

Ji Zeming's words also answered Lu Xiaotian's doubts. Lu Xiaotian was a little bit incredulous after hearing it. Whether in novels or on TV, old men who appeared in places like this were always very terrifying. They would be the ceiling of the entire drama's combat power. The most representative example was the Sweeping Monk in Tian Long Ba Bu! No one would deny this!

But this old man should give away free gifts to anyone who comes to the library, which is strange! Lu Xiaotian relied on the Sweeping Monk in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils that he had seen before. When Tang San was secretly learning the Xuantian Gong, he met an old man who gave him the Xuantian Treasure Record. Xiao Yan encountered an old man who absorbed his Dou Qi for three years and gave him the Tianjie Gong. Linghu Chong encountered an old man who taught him the Dugu Nine Swords. Yang Guo encountered an old man who recognized Ouyang Feng as his godfather. Xie Wendong encountered an old man and became the leader of the Hongmen. I have also encountered an old man and received an inheritance. He is worth millions. Helping an old man on the street will definitely make you bankrupt. This last one doesn't count as a slip of the tongue! All signs indicate that any old man is not simple, and the things he brings out are even more extraordinary!

Lu Xiaotian said that he was willing to learn the martial arts from his seniors.

You really want it? The old man was a little surprised!

Yes, a gift from an elder should not be refused!

Since you want these two, take them. It’s a set of boxing techniques, divided into two parts!

Ji Zeming was very anxious on the side. He knew how important Lu Xiaotian was to the sect master. The two of them came in together, and Lu Xiaotian took out two of these things. Ji Zeming felt a little reluctant. It was thanks to Lu Xiaotian that he could enter the inner gate, and it was also thanks to Lu Xiaotian that he could enter the library today. Alas, let me repay you a favor. Ji Zeming took the initiative to take one book first. Lu Xiaotian was a little surprised.

Ji Zeming said, we each have one copy! We can borrow from each other after we go out!

Lu Xiaotian understood Ji Zeming's intention, which was to give each of them another chance to choose a martial art.

After saying goodbye to the old man, the two of them went directly to the first floor. There were many yellow-level skills and martial arts here, including sticks, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks! Palm techniques, leg techniques, fist techniques, and light skills, but there was no sword technique. This made Lu Xiaotian very surprised, so he said, "Ji Zeming, don't you find it strange?"

Ji Zeming was choosing a martial art that suited him, and was stunned when he heard this. Why was it so strange?

The skills here are not very advanced, and there are many types, but there is no swordsmanship!

Ji Zeming laughed. "Your martial arts skills are so high, and you use a sword. You must be a disciple of a master, and you've come down from the mountains to gain experience after completing your training!" He was ignorant of the world. Ever since the Sword Saint killed his demonic brother, saving the people from disaster and removing a great threat from the martial arts world, fewer and fewer people have practiced swords! It's been considered a demonic path, and some masters have disappeared. Most of the sects that used swords have been suppressed, so the practice of swords has become less and less common.

From Ji Zeming's words, I learned that the Sword Saint did this intentionally because he was not sure whether the Sword Demon was dead or whether he had any apprentices. The fewer people who used the sword, the easier it would be to master it. Just like me now, if I showed my talent in swordsmanship, it would be nipped in the bud! If that's the case, who would dare to use a sword!

Seeing Lu Xiaotian in a daze, Ji Zeming joked, "Don't worry, I won't betray you!"

Lu Xiaotian also laughed when he heard this. Lu Xiaotian suggested going to the second floor. Ji Zeming wanted to choose a yellow-grade book, which made Lu Xiaotian puzzled. Why didn't he choose a high-level one?

Ji Zeming explained that he was different from ordinary people and had an extremely rare dark attribute. There were not as many Xuan-level skills as Huang-level ones and they might not be suitable for him. If he gave up this level and there was nothing higher, wouldn't his trip be in vain?

Let me explain the attributes. Common ones are gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Rare ones are wind, thunder, and lightning. Even rarer ones are light and dark! Attributes are mutually reinforcing and mutually exclusive. For example, if you have a fire attribute and practice a water attribute technique, you can only exert 70% of your strength, or even less. If you have a water attribute and use a water attribute technique to fight on the sea, you might be able to exert 120% of your strength, or even more. Xiji Zeming would rather choose the Yellow Rank, which suits him, than try his luck at the higher ranks. It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he doesn't dare. Inner disciples can only come to the Library once every three years, so no one can waste this opportunity!

Lu Xiaotian was not in a hurry and waited for Ji Zeming to slowly choose. "Great!" Ji Zeming shouted. He really found a book that suits him. Ji Zeming is easily satisfied and knows what he should and should not do. There are not many such people in life. Ji Zeming is smart enough and his future achievements will definitely be great. It is a book of leg techniques. According to the introduction above, even if the power is not strong, it is better than the average intermediate Xuan-level light skills when used for light skills. Most light skills are of the Huang-level. Who would spend a lot of experience to study light skills? To put it bluntly, light skills are just escape skills. If you are strong in force, who would run away!

The two came to the second floor. Compared with the first floor, there were far fewer here. Even a big sect like Fengshen Sect only had 20 to 30 volumes of Xuan-level skills, most of which were attack-type and not very powerful. Ji Zeming really didn't come here to try his luck, otherwise he would have hit a wall. The two took a look around and saw nothing to see, so they went straight to the third floor. Speaking of the third floor, both Lu Xiaotian and Ji Zeming were very excited. This was a ground-level skill!

The third floor was even more empty, with only one row of bookshelves and a dozen or so books scattered around! The two of them glanced at each other and walked over!
