Xuan Ye breathed a sigh of relief. Following the instructions in the booklet, he walked a short distance up the mountain and came to an eight-story pagoda.
"Book Pavilion." He read the words on the plaque and stepped forward, but was stopped by a light curtain.
"Brush contribution points." The guard at the door glanced at Xuan Ye and said impatiently.
Only then did Xuan Ye remember the rules of Xuantian Temple, sighed helplessly, and used his bracelet to brush his contribution points before stepping into the book pavilion.
It doesn't look very big from the outside, but after walking in, you realize that the first floor alone is three hundred meters long and wide.
It is filled with scrolls and books, divided into categories, ranging from monsters and beasts, training experience, medicine refining, weapon refining, combat experience, etc.
There are also extremely detailed chapters, including which sect, which branch, and who wrote it. Even the same technique used by Mo Feng was written by different people.
Xuan Ye was dazzled by what he saw and didn't know where to start.
At this time, a female disciple came over and asked softly: "Are you new to Xuantian Temple?"
Xuan Ye looked at the man, who was dressed in white and had two pigtails on either side. His face had a rather bookish temperament, and he looked pretty good, but a little dull.
"The books on the first floor are more complicated, and most of them are chapters recovered by the outside world. The second floor is the books written by the masters of the sect, and the content is more refined. The books above are mostly written by famous people, and they are layered according to categories. You can
Choose according to your needs.”
"Thank you, senior sister," Xuan Ye said, and was about to go to the second floor, but was stopped by a woman. She couldn't help but ask: "Senior sister, is there anything else you can do?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I am not a senior sister, but the master who manages the first floor. You can call me the flute master. Going to the second floor requires contribution points. I will let you brush the bracelet.
"
Xuan Ye's mouth twitched, but he ran to brush up his contribution points honestly, and then slowly walked up to the second floor with the woman's smile on her face.
The second floor is also not small, and there are a lot of books inside, and there are even books that charge separate contribution values.
He could only sigh and look at the contribution points on the bracelet, like grass in the wind, which would be picked up sooner or later.
However, Xuan Ye's experience is really bad, and the only way to make up for it is to get it from books.
From then on, for ten days, he read books day and night, whether they were biographies, manuals, or various miscellaneous books. He picked three or five books from each and read them all.
Until it feels almost the same, swipe the bracelet again and go to the third level.
From here on up to the sixth floor, there is no need to consume contribution points. This is because these four floors are divided into five categories: monsters, medicine refining, weapon refining, combat skills, and cultivation methods.
Among them, weapon refining accounts for the largest proportion. After all, Daqingqiong is also famous for relying on weapon refining. The categories include hidden weapons, long and short weapons, various strange magic weapons, and even ancient magic weapons.
There are more than one hundred techniques, and even the flame refining categories have ten bookshelves. There are also all kinds of weird refining techniques that give people a headache.
Fortunately, Lord Ding showed his power in time, and Xuan Ye selected more than fifty books from them. However, each book only has the first chapter, and you still need to contribute points to unlock it if you want to read it all.
He looked at the fading traces of light and felt like crying. It took him another month to finally read the book carefully, and he almost understood the meaning.
However, most of these books were in line with his current stage, and were not particularly advanced refining techniques.
After watching the weapon refining, Xuan Ye ran to the monster area again, starting with the famous mountains in Dongzhou.
This almost crazy move finally attracted the attention of the third-level management.
Everyone called him Kui Lao. He was a lame and rickety old man who looked quite stern. Therefore, the disciples who came here were in awe of him. Most of them shouted and left in a hurry.
Now seeing the old man walking up to him, his cold eyes sweeping over him made Xuan Ye feel a little uncomfortable. "Old Kui, are you looking for me?"
"I see that you have been staying in the library these days, even if you don't rest at night. What information are you looking for?"
Xuan Ye's face turned red and he touched his nose awkwardly. After thinking about it, he answered truthfully.
After hearing this, Mr. Kui laughed out loud, feeling a little different from his stern look. Then he patted the young man in black on the shoulder and said, "Why don't you hire a mentor? That would be much less than the contribution value you spend here."
Already."
"Mentor?" Xuan Ye really didn't expect this, but how could a mentor be as comprehensive as this?
No matter how much experience a tutor has, it is impossible for him to have as much experience as this group of people. It's just that judging from the pages of the book, it's a bit one-sided.
"I'm used to being comfortable. I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt to finding a mentor." He replied.
Mr. Kui patted Xuan Ye on the shoulder and said, "Silly boy, don't you know that if you want to participate in the Genting Gala in a year's time, you must be led by a mentor?"
"Genting Gala? That is?"
Mr. Kui shook his head and sighed. "You silly boy really doesn't know anything. The so-called Genting Grand Meeting means that Wan Sect comes to court, and of course it's just the elite disciples of the sect, going to the top of the mountain to participate in the competition."
"Thirty disciples will be selected through the competition, and they can enter the Glazed Heavenly Palace with an elder from each sect. You haven't even heard of the Glazed Heavenly Palace, right?"
Seeing Xuan Ye's blank expression, the old man explained in a confused manner: "The Glazed Heavenly Palace is an ancient secret realm that is only opened every thirty years. There are countless treasures in it, including skills and even some secret spiritual treasures."
Xuan Ye only knew about this. No wonder Su Yuqing told him to see him again in a year before leaving. So if he wanted to participate in the Genting Gala, he would have to find a mentor.
He immediately looked at the old man in front of him and smiled slightly, "Old Kui, this disciple is new here and doesn't know anyone. How about you be my mentor?"
Mr. Kui's face froze. He didn't expect that this stupid boy could think of this. He wanted to refuse, but he rolled his eyes and smiled, "Are you sure? Although I can guide you, I can't give you any other help.
.”
"It doesn't matter, as long as you can make less contributions while reading." Xuan Ye understood exactly this. With this treasure house, he didn't need any guidance, he could just rely on his own efforts.
"It's not difficult," Mr. Kui asked again as he still had doubts on his face, "You have to think carefully, once it's confirmed, it can't be changed. If it's another instructor, maybe he can give you greater help."
Xuan Ye has always practiced on his own and is not used to being under someone's supervision. Since Mr. Kui will not interfere with his actions, it is the best. "Disciple, you are sure."
"Okay, then you can come and become a disciple!" After Mr. Kui finished speaking, his tone became much more stern.
Xuan Ye did not expect that this apprenticeship ceremony was extremely formal, but he still completed it willingly.
He was about to go back and continue reading, but was stopped by Mr. Kui.
"Don't worry, since you are already a disciple, I have to give you some gifts. After all, you are also the first disciple in a hundred years to become my disciple."
Mr. Kui said and handed over a treasure box, "This is the weapon refining experience that I spent hundreds of years refining for my master. If you have time, take a good look at it."
Xuan Ye took the treasure box and was a little flattered, so he quickly thanked him. "Thank you, Master, and I will continue reading."
Mr. Kui waved his hands and showed a smile on his face, but he didn't know if it was because he hadn't smiled for a long time, so he looked a little stiff.
After another fifteen days, Xuan Ye finally finished reading the books selected from the monster area, then said goodbye to Mr. Kui and walked out of the bookstore.
After two whole months, he finally saw the sun, and the haze in his heart was swept away, and he breathed in the outside air.
After Xuan Ye went out, he first looked at the sapphire bracelet on his wrist. Thanks to Mr. Kui as his teacher, he only spent one thousand contribution points after staying in the library for two months. Otherwise, the three thousand on his hand would have been gone.
.
After leaving the library, he had nowhere to go, so he could only go back to the small shabby house at the foot of the mountain. Unexpectedly, the aforementioned senior brother was still there.
When the man saw Xuan Ye, he was shocked at first, didn't say much, and went back into the house.
In addition, there are two new disciples who are quite enthusiastic. They call each other "senior brother" and "senior brother".
After talking, I learned that both of them came from a family of weapon refiners. One was named Qian Sijiu and he had just climbed the mountain a few days ago. The other was named Li Kui and had been climbing the mountain for ten days.
"Senior brother, why do you think Xuantian Temple is so strange? It is completely unlike a sect to recruit us and then ignore it." Li Kui asked.
Xuan Ye didn't expect that it took ten days for this man to start thinking about this issue. Thinking about it, he made a decision that night, which was really wise.
He is not a meddlesome person, and will not criticize the two of them just because of a few warm greetings. After all, this is also a part of the trial, it depends on when they will understand.
After staying in the small shabby house all night, Xuan Ye woke up in the morning light and hurried to the top of a nearby hill to meditate in order to consolidate his cultivation.
After the purple energy dissipated, he returned to Daqingqiong and rented a room further down the mountainside. He spent 500 contribution points and stayed there for three months.
Although the room is simple and simple, you can clearly feel that the spiritual energy inside is very abundant, almost comparable to that in the middle of the Earth and Hell Mountains.
If you practice here, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Even refining weapons and medicine will be quite helpful.
This is all due to the six spiritual veins under the feet. It is unusual for others to have two spiritual veins in a mountain range, but this Xuantian Mountain Range actually has six!
However, if this were not the case, Xuantian Temple would probably not establish a sect here.
After renting the room, Xuan Ye turned around and headed higher. On the side of the mountain of Daqingqiong, he spent 100 contribution points to rent a simple stone cave.
This was the training room of Da Qing Qiong. It was only after two months that he remembered the skills he exchanged at Feng Yu Tang.
There are not many contribution points left on him, so Xuan Ye plans to go down the mountain after practicing his combat skills.
Last time, I found a lot of medicines in Tianshuiyun under the Diao Ming Cliff, including the herbs used to restore Gu Meier's spirit body, but now I still lack the Dusk Fruit.
So this time when going down the mountain, in addition to obtaining contribution points, the more important thing is to find this medicinal material.
After being baptized by the Book Pavilion, he did see a place where the Dusk Fruit might appear, but the monsters inside were much more terrifying than those outside the Diming Mountains, so naturally he needed stronger combat skills.
Xuan Ye first lit a stick of incense in the corner of the stone cave, and then slowly opened the technique. The moment the jade axis was opened, a stream of light rushed into his mind, and a large amount of information surged in his mind.
