I'm accumulating points in the cultivation world.

Tang Doudou was not selected and left in disappointment. Back in her dormitory, she lay on her bed, feeling resentful no matter how hard she tried.

"I have good news for you!"

"I won't listen!" Tang Doudou covered her ears, then suddenly stood up and rushed towards the elder's residence.

After arriving, I learned from others that the elder in charge was present.

It wouldn't be appropriate to go there now, so Tang Doudou waited at the door of the elder deacon.

After waiting for more than two hours, the elder deacon finally walked over with a smile on his face.

"Isn't this Tang Doudou? What's wrong?"

"Elder, I..." Tang Doudou said, tears streaming down her face.

"Who bullied you?" the elder deacon asked, puzzled.

"During my match today, they deliberately targeted me and knocked me out of the game."

The elder in charge sighed. This child was innocent and had just entered the sect, so naturally he didn't understand the intricacies of the place. "This sect is like a small society. Cultivation is important, but interpersonal relationships are also very important. All of these combined make up overall strength. If you want to join the competition team, there's nothing I can do for you."

Tang Doudou stopped crying, "What about the Listening Wind Secret Realm?"

"The Secret Realm of Listening to the Wind? You want to go?"

Tang Doudou nodded repeatedly.

"The remaining eight people from the Listening Wind Secret Realm, even if we go down the list from the sect leader, there aren't any I can arrange!" the elder said helplessly. "How about we participate again next year?"

"I'll be too old next year," Tang Doudou said disappointedly.

The elder in charge was at a loss for what to do, and could only comfort him by saying, "If there are other secret realms in the future, I can try to help you get one."

Tang Doudou thanked the elder in charge, as he did not hold a high position in the sect, and if she insisted further, it would only create resentment.

It's better to stop now, so he'll feel guilty towards you.

Sure enough, before Tang Doudou even stepped out, the elder in charge called out to her, "This is the library card. You can go in and find a cultivation technique now."

Tang Doudou accepted the card, thanked the elder steward, and then headed towards the library.

The library is located in a relatively remote and quiet area. The exterior is made of soft blue marble, with countless Chinese characters carved on it.

An old man sat at the entrance of the library. He took the card, glanced at it, and said, "This card can be used to go to the second floor."

Tang Doudou thanked the old man and went inside. She saw a large hall filled with all kinds of books, and there were quite a few people quietly reading them.

There was a spiral staircase nearby. Tang Doudou went up the stairs. The second floor had fewer books than the first floor, and the cultivation techniques were more advanced. Tang Doudou found the bookshelf for fire-elemental spiritual roots and began searching for a suitable cultivation technique. She carefully browsed through each book, while also having the system scan it for her.

"These techniques are all too ordinary," Tang Doudou said with a hint of helplessness as she flipped through the pages.

"There are even better options on the third floor, but unfortunately you can't go there," the system said with a smile. "How about we check out other places?"

"Are there other places?" Following the system's guidance, Tang Doudou arrived at a bookshelf, which was filled with unnamed cultivation techniques.

"These techniques may look powerful, but they are incomplete, so it's best not to try them lightly."

Tang Doudou looked up and saw a senior brother speaking to her.

Tang Doudou thanked her senior brother and continued flipping through the pages.

"The Legend of the Wind and Clouds? System, come and see this one!" Tang Doudou said happily.

After the system finished scanning, it smiled and said, "This cultivation technique is perfect. With both of them combined, I can continue to deduce the later techniques. However, I don't recommend you choose this one. You should choose a more conventional one instead."

Tang Doudou put down her book and returned to the bookshelf. She selected a copy of "Fiery Blade Shadow" and took it to the front desk. The receptionist took out a photo stone of the book and handed it to her.

The library card in my hand was also put away; it was a one-time use card and could only be used once.

After leaving the library, Tang Doudou wanted to find a quiet place to cultivate.

"Why don't we go to that forbidden area? No one but you can go in there," the system suggested.

"What if someone finds out?"

"Don't worry, this is a product of the system, absolutely top-quality. As long as you recite the incantation, no one will be able to detect it."

"What kind of spell is it this time?"

"The incantation is: Open, the array that isolates you from the world! I, as your master, command you to kneel down and welcome your master!"

"Who on earth came up with such a cringeworthy line?" Tang Doudou complained, then looked around. No one was there.

It's best if no one's around, so you don't get yourself into trouble.

Tang Doudou lowered her voice and chanted in a rough and powerful tone, "Open up, the array that isolates you from the world. I, as your master, command you to kneel down and welcome your master!"

The next second, Tang Doudou disappeared.
