Choosing a Cultivation Method
Fourth Elder put down the yellowed book in his hand and looked at Zhao Chen with a kind smile."Yo! Little Chen is here? He shouldn't be going to the library this time. He should be here to choose a cultivation technique, right? Third Brother has already informed the Clan Leader and me.”
To be honest, Fourth Elder had a very good impression of Zhao Chen. Not only was he humble and polite, but he was also not like the other younger generation members of the same age who were filled with an impetuous aura.
In this day and age, there were very few young people who were willing to calm down and go to the library pavilion to read books that were considered "useless".
"Good morning, Fourth Elder. This disciple came today to go to the fourth floor to find two relatively high-grade cultivation methods and martial techniques!”Zhao Chen greeted the Fourth Elder with a smile. Then, he mobilized a wisp of True Qi in his body and released it out of his body.
"Hmm? Releasing true qi?" Seeing that Zhao Chen's zhenqi was still condensed after it spread out of his body, the Fourth Elder's turbid eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light. He hurriedly asked,"Chen brat, you've already entered the Aura Refining stage?”
"Yes!"
"Hahahaha! Not bad, not bad. It seemed that those rumors would be dispelled by themselves this time!”The Fourth Elder laughed heartily. Clearly, he was genuinely happy for Zhao Chen.
"Since you have already reached the Qi Condensation stage, then you can go directly to the fourth level of the Scripture Depository. However, remember that you have to carefully choose your cultivation methods and martial techniques. Don't blindly pursue power or speed.”
The fourth elder stroked his beard and instructed with an unusually solemn expression.
"Thank you for your reminder, Fourth Elder.”
Zhao Chen naturally understood the principle of biting off more than he could chew. If he was too distracted and greedy, he would only be able to do everything in the end.
Although Zhao Chen deeply agreed with Fourth Elder's words of being mature and scheming for the country, because of the presence of the Imperial Sister, everything could not be judged by common sense. Therefore, these words really did not apply to him.
"Yes! You can go up then. You can choose whatever you want except for the secret books on the fifth floor. But you are still in the stage of laying the foundation for the Xiantian Realm, so you can only choose one cultivation method and one martial technique at most.”
The Fourth Elder lay back on the recliner and waved at Zhao Chen to indicate that he could enter. Then, he picked up the ancient book from before and continued to read.
Zhao Chen cupped his fists and bowed. He turned around and walked into the Scripture Depository. As soon as he entered, a sandalwood fragrance assailed his nose.
The first floor of the Sutra Tower was the largest. It was dozens of square meters. There were mahogany shelves along the wall, and a large number of martial arts books were placed on the shelves.
There were a total of five floors in the Sutra Depository. On the first floor, there were some basic cultivation techniques and martial arts techniques, which were used to build the foundation for disciples who had just started cultivating.
On the second floor, there were some elementary cultivation techniques and martial techniques that were suitable for martial artists below the Bone-Forging Realm to cultivate.
The third level contained intermediate cultivation techniques and martial arts techniques, suitable for martial artists from the Bone-Forging realm to the Qi Refinement realm to cultivate.
The fourth level contained some higher-level cultivation techniques and martial techniques that were suitable for martial artists from the Qi Refinement Realm to the Connate Realm.
On the fifth floor, there were only nine Xiantian Realm secret manuals in the entire Zhao family. Among them, three were cultivation techniques and six were martial techniques. Two of the six martial techniques were incomplete, and one was incomplete.
All the secret techniques below the Inborn Realm were called mediocre techniques, or the so-called ordinary secret techniques. Only Xiantian level secret manuals were considered to be graded, and they were called Spiritual level cultivation techniques or martial arts techniques.
Further up were the Black Rank cultivation techniques that corresponded to the four Foundation Establishment realms. It was a heaven-grade cultivation technique that corresponded to a level-four Incarnation Realm cultivator. As for whether there were any higher-grade cultivation techniques above it, Zhao Chen did not know.
However, there was a high chance that there would be more.
The first level's cultivation techniques and martial arts techniques were directly dropped by the handkerchief temple. Zhao Chen walked up to the second level of the Sutra Depository, casually grabbed a secret manual, and began to flip through it. At the same time, he called out to his sister in his heart.
"Brat, why are you in such a hurry to summon bengong? Is there something urgent?”
"Empress, this is the Zhao Clan's Scripture Depository. Do you have any way to make a copy of all the secret manuals here?”
"Oh, I see! You look like an honest kid, but I didn't expect you to be so mischievous, but bengong likes it. This is simple. Just wait a moment."
After a dozen breaths, the voice of the Imperial Sister rang out again."Yes! You can check it when you return to your residence. Now, you should seriously choose two secret manuals before you go out, lest that old man suspects you!”
After receiving the accurate message from the imperial sister, Zhao Chen was no longer in a hurry. He leisurely flipped through the secret manual and walked all the way to the fourth floor.
Because Zhao Chen was not interested in those dazzling sword techniques and saber techniques, there was almost no secret manual that caught his eye. After walking and stopping, he chose a very useless cultivation technique on the third floor.
He also chose a halberd technique on the fourth floor, and it was an incomplete halberd technique with only the first nine moves.
That very useless cultivation technique was created by a peerless scholar who was comparable to a quasi-saint hundreds of years ago. It was the Righteous Song Technique used to comprehend the awe-inspiring meaning, which was also the literary qi.
However, due to various reasons, the Righteousness in the hearts of martial artists was mostly eliminated by time, and the literati were not much better. Therefore, it was rare to see people who still had Righteousness in their hearts in modern times, especially martial artists.
Therefore, even if ordinary martial artists obtained this cultivation method, they would not be able to comprehend the awe-inspiring meaning in this song formula. Almost no one in the martial artist community could practice it, so this song formula had always been shelved!
However, Zhao Chen had taken a fancy to this song formula at first glance. He had a vague intuition that whether he could comprehend literary qi in the shortest time would all depend on this song formula.
The halberd technique chosen for the fourth level didn't seem simple either. According to the Royal Sister Consort, this Thousand Blades Soul Slaying Halberd Technique should have a total of 89 - 72 moves. Now, only the first nine moves were infinitely close to the Xiantian level. It was really hard to imagine what level this martial technique would reach if the entire 72 moves of the halberd technique were complete.
As everyone knew, every move of a martial technique was stronger than the last. If every nine halberd moves corresponded to a major realm, then wouldn't these seventy-two halberd moves correspond to eight major realms?
Hmm, it was not very likely. At most, it would be a Heaven Grade martial skill that corresponded to a Soul Formation Stage Level Four. It seemed that he would have to think of a way to try in the future to see if he could restore this halberd technique completely.
