Chapter Ch554 - Library Pavilion (1/2)

When Tong Zishu heard this gossip, he sighed lightly and said with great worry, “Huarong Sword Immortal has always ignored the customs of the dynasty. In those days, King Ye and his consort visited him several times and wanted to invite him out of seclusion to enter the world, but he never agreed. I didn’t expect their son to be superior in skills. Huarong Sword Immortal has always been modest and soft-hearted. If Prince Ye is hard on him and pretends to be poor, perhaps Huarong Sword Immortal might just give in again and again.”

The words of Tong Zishu stirred up the sensitive and fragile nerves of many disciples. They could not help but denounce Yan Tianhen, as if Yan Tianhen had already done something unspeakable to their number one idol, Huarong Sword Immortal. They even wanted to find Yan Tianhen to fight to the death.

Yet at this moment, Yan Tianhen was on his way to the library.

Although his alchemy secret scripts were rare and hard to find, they suited him well, but it didn’t mean that his cultivation could only stop there. He wanted to cast a wide net and gain more knowledge. In any case, it would be his loss if he didn’t read any of those secret manuals, and he didn’t even need to pay for them. The rule was just not to bring them out of the library.

The library was like a tall tower with many delicate and colored bells hanging from its eaves and corners. The tower had nine floors and nine corners, meaning it was all connected.

The lower three floors could be accessed by any disciple, while the third floor needed to be paid to enter. The upper three floors were closed off. Students couldn’t access them unless they had a master’s permission or their ident.i.ty was already an inner hall disciple of the Three Halls.

However, according to the inner hall disciples who had been to the upper three floors, the seventh floor was filled with a collection of Divine Ranked secret scripts. Any script from there was enough to become a family’s trump card.

Many disciples were extremely envious. It could be said that the Divine Ranked secret script was also a big reason why they wanted to enter the inner halls.

The alchemy path included a lot of things, and there was no limit to suffering. It wasn’t any easier than taking the sword path.

Alchemy was on the second floor and craftsmans.h.i.+p was on the first floor. The sword, magic, and miscellaneous paths were arranged on the third floor because it avoided congestion of people from happening on the first floor.

As a matter of fact, congestion was absolutely impossible.

The area of the tower floor was huge; each floor had thousands of volumes of books, yet the disciples who could read books every day could be counted with both hands and fingers.

Usually, if the disciples chose their own appropriate secret script, they would need to borrow it for cultivation as if they got the most precious one and they would not waste their time in the library.

When Yan Tianhen came, there were not many people in the library.

However, Myriad Dao Academy upheld the principle that a good secret script is used for cultivation; otherwise, it is rotten. All secret scripts that could benefit disciples through cultivation would be shown to them free of charge regardless of their level.

It was no wonder that after the disciples of the Myriad Dao Academy came out, their cultivation was always much higher than that of other schools.

It was said that the Divine Ranked secret scripts used to be borrowed at will, but ever since the Sect Master found out that the disciples were being greedy and forcefully cultivated the Divine Ranked cultivation methods themselves, they suffered Qi deviations and became possessed, causing irreversible consequences. Hence, the sect strictly prohibited disciples from casually practicing the Divine Ranked cultivation methods.

Only disciples with excellent character and outstanding talent who pa.s.sed the examination of the saints would be qualified to come and choose.

Yan Tianhen was interested in the Divine Ranked cultivation methods, but his interest was not so great. There were also Divine Ranked cultivation methods in the Yan family, but he once looked at it and felt dizzy. He couldn’t stand it at all.

At that time, Yan Tianhen thought, Why do people torture themselves?

Yan Tianhen’s view of swordsmans.h.i.+p was also from high to low. There were different kinds of swordsmans.h.i.+p secret books in the library, which were suitable for female pract.i.tioners, male pract.i.tioners, teenagers, and adults. The scripts included both flexible and strong techniques.

Yan Tianhen never had his own sword.

What he cultivated was the Yin Flame Palm, which was a sword and magic dual cultivation technique. The Yin Flame Palm itself could be transformed into a long sword, but if he wanted to bring his swordsmans.h.i.+p to the extreme, it was absolutely impossible without a sword.

Yan Tianhen was trying to find a set of swordsmans.h.i.+p secret scripts that could promote and integrate with the Yin Flame Palm. This one was too soft, that one was too strong, this one was suitable for an ice spiritual root, and that one was suitable for a fire spiritual root.

Looking at these secret scripts, Yan Tianhen always felt that there was something missing. He flipped through them quickly and put them back just as fast.

When Yan Tianhen was ready to pick up the next secret script, another hand held the corner of the same book. Yan Tianhen turned his head and looked to the side.

He found a smiling young man with a pair of peach blossom eyes. He let go of his hand. “I see you have been searching here for a long time. What book are you looking for?”
