"That's not bad. If we increase our speed and defense, we won't have to worry about anything."

"It's just that it lacks a bit of fun; you don't move your limbs at all, and you don't feel any participation in the fight... Oh well~"

He shook his head, stopping thinking about it. He figured he just needed to strive for a higher level, and the process would give him the answer.

He had already explored most of the cultivation technique room in this library. Next, he turned around and arrived at the bookshelf area where "auxiliary" and "miscellaneous" were engraved together.

The area is about half the size of the attack zone, but the techniques placed together are almost completely unrelated.

Amplification-related, speed-related, transformation-related, cultivation-related...

Because he was searching for a shrinking technique that was uncertain of its existence, Ning Chang did not skip around while watching. He spent more than an hour, then two hours, browsing through this large, chaotic area.

Not only did he see several familiar book titles, but he also found techniques that were very practical and even useful to him, such as "The Art of Breath Convergence," "Soldier Shrinking," "Twisting," "The Five Elements of Mutual Generation," and "The Secret of the Longevity of Herbs and Trees"!

Meanwhile, when he took the "Grass and Tree Longevity Manual" from the restricted area, he also found a demonic cultivation technique with a rather classic concept next to it, the "Bloodthirsty Soul Devouring Technique"!

It's no wonder he noticed this cultivation technique; among the restricted areas that already had a restriction, it had an extra, more vibrant restriction than the surrounding ones!

Although Ning Chang could easily take down the "Bloodthirsty Soul Devourer" book with the token given to him by Ning Tongyu, after flipping through a few pages of the introduction and thinking for a while, he put it back in its original place.

This book, "Bloodthirsty Soul Devourer," is indeed as its title suggests. Its cultivation method involves killing to obtain blood, extracting souls and refining spirits, leading to rapid advancement and making it difficult to find an opponent of the same level. It has corresponding methods for each stage, from gathering spirit to transforming essence, with human soul blood being the most superior.

After reading the brief introduction, Ning Chang couldn't help but think of the "industrialized demonic cultivators" that were circulating.

Paid blood donation, buying babies with precious stones... quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.

"If one is determined to cultivate this technique, then this method is feasible, but... it's unnecessary for me."

He felt that method was too troublesome, and it inadvertently slowed down the cultivation process. Moreover, it would likely cause those self-proclaimed "righteous" people to go crazy for no reason and disturb his peace.

Ning Chang simply shook his head and continued on to the next area.

Of the cultivation techniques he just took from the "Miscellaneous" section, apart from the "Grass and Tree Longevity Technique," which is a cultivation technique, the others were all interesting or practical auxiliary techniques.

The main feature of the "Grass and Tree Longevity Technique" lies in this "longevity". After cultivation, the connection with natural plants and trees increases, and vitality and self-healing ability are greatly enhanced. As for the increase in cultivation speed, it is just icing on the cake.

The Concealing Breath Technique is a complex version of the Concealing Breath Talisman, with a total of five levels. Once you reach the second level, you can achieve the effect of an ordinary Concealing Breath Talisman. The higher the level, the less likely you are to be detected.

"Shrinking Soldiers" is the "shrinking technique" he was looking for. If it weren't for the word "shrinking" in the title, Ning Chang probably wouldn't have been able to find the so-called shrinking technique this time.

As its name suggests, its function is primarily a spell used on objects and weapons, capable of shrinking their size, down to as little as two percent of their original volume!

As for "Twisted," although its name is novel and powerful, its function is only to assist in changing the structure of objects, such as disassembling, deforming, and bending.

It still uses spiritual power, but the method provided by the cultivation technique makes it more convenient and flexible.

He removed it because of its practicality.

Compared to it, the "Five Elements Mutual Generation" technique is much more useful, as it allows one to freely change the attributes of their own moves and spiritual power.

However, the drawback is that if two incompatible spiritual energies enter the dantian, it will cause spiritual energy disorder, which may result in dantian injury or even death!

This is due to the nature of this technique itself, and it's what makes it different from those single-attribute conversion techniques.

After all, if one can calm down and cultivate five different spiritual energy conversion techniques, even if the five spiritual energies coexist in the dantian, there will be no reaction at all!

Ning Chang walked a few steps to the last area, which was clearly decorated differently.

This area has two rows of bookshelves, one red and one green, which distinguishes it from the surrounding area, and even the distance between them and the other bookshelves has been significantly increased.

"Strange fire...elixir recipe..."

Ning Chang read aloud the labels above the two rows of bookshelves.

He ignored the green Danfang bookshelf and stood facing the Yi Huo bookshelf.

Actually, he didn't really want the strange fire that much; he was just curious about how Medicine King Valley could cultivate strange fire on its own, and what it looked like.

Just as he focused his gaze, intending to browse through any book on strange fire with any name, what caught his eye was a touch of green mixed in with the dark red!

It was so striking and eye-catching all of a sudden!

"Must-read for borrowers... It's deliberately designed this way, and the title is written this way too. It seems to be some important common sense."

He reached out and took the book down, then opened it directly.

Unlike its appearance, although the whole book looks similar to other books, when you open it, there are only three pages.

Three pages, each centimeter thick.

Even without close inspection, one can discern the rough wood grain on it, suggesting that it was made directly from split wood.

However, it feels no different from the paper in other books, being just as soft, smooth, and resilient.

This surprised him somewhat about the technology used in its creation, but only for a moment.

"There are two kinds of flames in the world. One is the innate divine fire, which is nurtured in the host's sea of ​​consciousness and meridian dantian at birth. Its upper limit depends on the host's talent, and there is no upper limit..."

"The second is the extraordinary fire of heaven and earth, born from the creation of heaven and earth, with different functions and great power, which can be refined and cultivated..."

"However, now that the method of stimulating life has been introduced, the flames have been divided into two, one of which is the strange fire and the divine fire, which are now collectively known as the strange fire."

"The second is spiritual fire, which uses a method of stimulating growth to transform spiritual power into spiritual fire. Although it is useless in battle, it can be used by those without other fire to refine elixirs."

After reading it, he pursed his lips and put the book back.

"The person who was able to develop a method for refining pills without the need for a special fire has done a great service to the cultivation world, opening up a new path."

"Perhaps that person also had ulterior motives in restricting the use of spirit fire from being used for attacks."

After offering his comment, he picked up a book titled "Methods for Identifying Strange Fires" from the nearest available location.

"Ice Flame... Life-Giving Mystic Wood Fire... Ninefold Golden Flame... and Chaos Fire? This description is quite intriguing."

I glanced through it once and already started to get tired of it.

So he put the book back and looked at the bookshelf full of fire-related martial arts techniques, but he had no interest in them at all.

He then turned and walked out of the prefab house with the thirteen martial arts manuals he had taken.
