Inside the Scripture Pavilion, the first floor had the most cultivation techniques and martial arts, all of which were mid to low-grade mortal-level martial arts. Many outer disciples were choosing their techniques here.
Su Changqing did not linger and headed straight for the fourth floor.
The fourth floor of the Scripture Pavilion housed all spiritual-grade martial arts.
Compared to the first floor, the number of techniques on the fourth floor was much fewer, only three to four hundred volumes.
Su Changqing wasn't in a rush; he carefully read through the introductions of each martial art.
"Spiritual-grade low-grade 'Rampaging Bull Fist'"
"Spiritual-grade mid-grade 'Gale Blade Technique'"
"........."
These martial arts were all recorded in jade slips, and one couldn't see the specific content inside, only the introductions.
Only after exchanging for them could one begin cultivation.
This was to prevent disciples from just looking without exchanging, essentially getting them for free.
After all, the sect wasn't a charity; if everything were free, how would it operate?
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Su Changqing's gaze stopped on a martial art.
"'Nine Sky-Cutting Swords' This is actually a superior-grade profound-level martial art?"
Su Changqing's eyes widened suddenly, a hint of excitement in his gaze.
Indeed, the Nine Sky-Cutting Swords consisted of nine swords and was a superior-grade profound-level martial art, but the current volume was incomplete, containing only three swords, reaching only the superior-grade spiritual level.
Interesting.
Just the three incomplete swords could reach the superior-grade spiritual level; if all nine swords were mastered, how powerful would that be?
[Ding! Incomplete martial art 'Nine Sky-Cutting Swords' discovered]
[Option 1: Incomplete? Not even a dog wants it, choose another martial art, reward: 10 bottles of Qi-Boosting Pills]
[Option 2: Not even a dog wants it? I want it! A true villain must have extraordinary vision, reward: Complete version of 'Nine Sky-Cutting Swords']
Whoa!
The system's voice echoed in his ears again.
"I choose option two!"
Even a fool would know how to choose.
The complete version of the Nine Sky-Cutting Swords was a superior-grade profound-level martial art, worth a fortune.
After picking up the jade slip of the 'Nine Sky-Cutting Swords', Su Changqing also chose a body technique.
Spiritual-grade mid-grade body technique 'Wandering Dragon Step'.
In battle, the role of body techniques was significant, even life-saving.
After selecting the two martial arts, Su Changqing used his identity jade token for the exchange.
The techniques and martial arts from the Scripture Pavilion had to be returned within a month and could not be passed on to others, or else the sect would severely punish the violator.
[Ding! Choice successful, obtained complete version of 'Nine Sky-Cutting Swords']
Just as Su Changqing walked out of the Scripture Pavilion, the system's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
The complete version of the Nine Sky-Cutting Swords was directly imprinted in his mind.
Wow.
So this is a superior-grade profound-level martial art?
Truly exquisite.
Due to his max-level comprehension, he instantly grasped the entry-level of the 'Nine Sky-Cutting Swords'.
In a great mood, Su Changqing cheerfully returned to Lingyun Peak.
***
Because both senior sisters were out on missions, Lingyun Peak was very quiet, with only Master and Su Changqing present.
"I'm grinning with pride, I'm grinning with pride..."
Perhaps thinking of Master, Su Changqing was in an exceptionally good mood, humming a little tune, a slight smile unconsciously appearing on his face.
Surely, dear Master misses me too.
Entering Master's cave abode, Gu Xiran was already awake.
After dual cultivation, her injuries had recovered significantly, allowing her to use a bit of power, roughly equivalent to the early Mortal Transformation Realm.
To fully recover, it would probably take at least a month.
Seeing Su Changqing walk in, Gu Xiran's expression instantly turned cold.
"Rebellious disciple, you dare to come back!"
Gu Xiran's cold voice seemed to push people away, yet beneath that coldness, there seemed to be a hint of other emotions.
Very complex.
After all, this rebellious disciple Su Changqing was different from others.
Although he bullied her, he was her first...
Su Changqing grinned, unconcerned, and sat beside his dear Master, smiling as he looked at her.
"Disciple must return to help Master heal, how could I not come back?"
Seeing Su Changqing's smiling face, Gu Xiran felt utterly humiliated.
This bastard.
Does he know how she spent this day?
This kid, after cultivating for so long, isn't he tired!?
Gu Xiran was quite curious.
Though she had cultivated for many years and lived a long life, Gu Xiran had never experienced such a thing.
"Today, you can forget about it. Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Gu Xiran snorted coldly.
Now, she had true energy within her, although only at the Mortal Transformation Realm, she had many means, dealing with Su Changqing would naturally be no problem.
She had that confidence.
"Really?"
Su Changqing's lips curled slightly, forming a smile.
"Master, you're... too confident."
Inside the cave abode, Master's surprised voice soon echoed.
"Ah!!"
"This, how is this possible, you rebellious disciple, you've broken through to the late Mortal Transformation Realm.
You... how do you have such strength?"
Shocked, utterly shocked!
Gu Xiran was going crazy.
To access the premium content, go to [ ℙawℝead.com ].
She thought her Mortal Transformation Realm strength could easily handle Su Changqing.
Unexpectedly, this kid silently broke through to the late Mortal Transformation Realm, and his combat power was extraordinary, that terrifying strength directly suppressed her, rendering her immobile.
Unexpectedly, even her current cultivation level couldn't compare.
This immediately put Gu Xiran at a disadvantage.
She couldn't believe it.
Just a few days ago, Su Changqing was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and in just a few days, he had broken through to the late Mortal Transformation Realm.
This breakthrough speed was too fast.
Like a rocket, his speed soared.
Su Changqing grinned: "Thanks to Master's assistance in cultivation, disciple will surely help Master heal, sparing no effort."
Su Changqing spoke with righteous indignation.
Gu Xiran: "????"
Damn?
What kind of creature is this bastard?
Speaking so righteously?
However, no matter how much Gu Xiran opposed, it was useless.
After all, Su Changqing's current strength could firmly suppress her.
But Su Changqing had other matters to attend to, so, half a day later.
***
Su Changqing glanced at Master, a smile forming on his lips.
"Dear Master, disciple has other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave."
Su Changqing chuckled, then quickly slipped away before Gu Xiran could explode in anger.
Tsk tsk tsk.
Better to run first.
Watching Su Changqing's rapid escape, Gu Xiran gritted her teeth in anger.
"Damn little bastard, daring to make me... once my cultivation is restored, I'll make you pay!!"
Gu Xiran roared.
Of course, she was just venting.
Truly taking action against Su Changqing, she probably couldn't do it.
Not to mention the influence of the heaven-defying True Love Gu, just in these few days, the master and disciple had unprecedented emotional exchanges, Gu Xiran couldn't really act.
After all, he was her first man.
Significant beyond measure.
