Chapter 391 - Elder Renhao Steps In (2/2)
”Thank you, Elder Renhao!” Young Master Xuan Hao was overjoyed. ”Then we will be entering first, Senior Apprentice Brother Junwei!”
Xuan Junwei could only grit his teeth in frustration as Young Master Xuan Hao led the group to walk straight past him, entering the skills repository.
”Elder Renhao! Why?!” Xuan Junwei was full of indignation at the moment.
”You need to learn to see the big picture, Junwei,” Elder Renhao said before turning to leave, leaving Xuan Junwei at the entrance of the skills repository.
Xuan Junwei thought while gritting his teeth in frustration.
See the big picture?
Yeah, right.
You and the rest of the elders are just plain biased!
”What are you looking at? Don't you have a job to do?!” Xuan Junwei barked at the two guards who were still standing at the entrace of the skills repository. ”And you'd better not go spreading lies about what just happened here. Nothing happened at all, got it?”
”We understand, Senior Apprentice Brother Junwei!”
”Good!” Xuan Junwei said before stomping off.
What happened today was too much of an embarrassment!
If word spread that he had acted to block Young Master Xuan Hao but failed miserably, how would he be able to continue holding his head up among the younger generation?
Then again, why did Elder Renhao appear here all of a sudden?
One had to know that Elder Renhao was Faction Leader Xuan Qinshang's right hand man, the person who represented his will!
For someone like that to act for something as minor as this, the elders must have come to some decision that he was unaware of.
For someone like that to act for something as minor as this, there had to be some underlying currents among the elders that he was unaware of.
Xuan Junwei's eyes flashed with a glint of cold light.
To make sure that things go smoothly for him from now on, he would definitely have to ask his grandfather Elder Cuixiong, and get to the bottom of this matter!
***
Within the skills repository, Young Master Xuan Hao cheerfully led the way, heading straight for the third floor.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Lu Tianzi did not bother asking about what happened earlier.
In any case, things turned out in their favour, so all's good.
”The first floor is mainly catered for Essence Building realm martial artists, while the second floor is mainly catered for Essence Condensation realm martial artists. As you have probably guessed, this third floor is mainly catered for Origin Core realm martial artists like us!” Young Master Xuan Hao explained. ”You might not be able to find the secret techniques of the Timeless Flame Sect here, but there are rather impressive techniques placed here as well. I'm sure you will be able to find some that are of use.”
Lu Tianzi nodded.
It was only natural for the Timeless Flame Sect to not place their secret techniques in the common area of the skills repository.
Those were usually the defining techniques of a sect, and could be considered the true foundations of their heritage.
Such manuals certainly need to be safeguarded with the utmost care.
Otherwise, what would they do if these precious secret manuals got damaged, lost, or even leaked to the outside due to a random disciple's carelessness?
But despite hearing that these secret techniques would not be here, Lu Tianzi was not at all affected.
After all, that was not what he came for.
His main aim today was to check if they actually had Origin Core realm cultivation techniques of the Spiritual Essence system!
”Well then, I shall not hinder you any further,” Young Master Xuan Hao said before gesturing for them to enter the third floor.
Lu Tianzi and Nanlan Qianxue did not stand on ceremony.
Since they were already here, they obviously would go take a look and see if there was anything they wanted.
Nanlan Qianxue did not follow Lu Tianzi, choosing to go her own way to look for suitable techniques.
Once again, Young Master Xuan Hao tagged along with Ruan Ling, giving her suggestions on what could be useful to her.
As for Lu Tianzi, he walked through the shelves with extraordinary speed, taking nothing more than a mere glance at the types of techniques on display before moving on.
Since he already had a clear goal in mind, he did not waste any time looking through other things. If he still had some spare time later, he could always revisit them.
In the end, Lu Tianzi finally stopped in front of a deserted corner of the third floor.
”Spiritual Essence Cultivation Techniques!” Lu Tianzi emotionally read the label on the shelf before him.
As expected, the Timeless Flame Sect really had Spiritual Essence Cultivation Techniques of the Origin Core realm!
To think that he would be unable to find any of such manuals in the few human settlements that he had been to, only to come across them in a demon influence's skills repository.
Fate truly worked in wondrous ways.
Faced with such an opportunity, Lu Tianzi did not waste anymore time.
He immediately sank his perception into the first jade slip on the shelf, and immersed himself into the world of Spiritual Essence system cultivation techniques!
