Chapter 329: Chapter 298: Purple Flame Sky Thunder Scroll_1
After the banquet ended, everyone went back to rest.
A few days later, Xu Mu followed Li Youlan to the Imperial Royal Library to select martial techniques, accompanied by Xu Lingyu and Qiao Qianqian.
The three martial inheritances they were awarded went to the three of them, while the other two chose ancient treasures, and a majority of the spirit stones went to Xu Mu. As for Li Youlan, she received rewards from the royal family, netting a haul no lesser than the others.
As they journeyed, Qiao Qianqian did not speak to Xu Mu due to Li Youlan’s presence, but from time to time, she would give him a resentful glance.
This behavior somewhat made Xu Mu’s skin crawl.
What happens at home stays at home, he and Qiao Qianqian had barely communicated with each other, and Xu Mu didn’t believe she was attracted to him.
Unnecessary solicitude often hints at sinister ulterior motives!
There must be something wrong with this woman, and it would be wise to exercise caution in future interactions!
Xu Mu warned himself silently.
Li Youlan calmly rode in a palanquin, seemingly paying no attention to the situation.
Soon, the group arrived at their destination. After a series of procedures and checks, they finally entered the interior of the Imperial Royal Library.
“Take your time choosing, come to me if you have any questions!”
Li Youlan had her own martial techniques to choose from, so she was not planning to accompany them.
They each went their separate ways, heading to their areas of interest.
Qiao Qianqian and Xu Lingyu went straight to the area with Qi Cultivation Techniques, while Xu Mu headed to the Body Refining Techniques area.
The library was massive, with a number of martial techniques and hidden skills recorded, many times denser than that of Fairy Moon Palace. Looking around, it felt as vast as an ocean of smoke.
“Knowledge always expands, but understanding has limits!”
Xu Mu sighed inwardly.
Even though Body Refining Techniques were not niche, they were not mainstream either. Xu Mu thought there would only be a few dozen, but to his surprise, there were hundreds of them.
All Xu Mu could say is, worthy of a superpower that stood tall for tens of thousands of years!
The Old Ancestor of Tongyou must have hurried to leave after saving people out of fear of the power of the royal family.
Xu Mu suspected that even without a Divinity Transformation Old Ancestor, the Da Yuan Royal Family could still suppress individuals of Divinity Transformation.
“Fortunately, I have the Black YuanYing. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so easy to pick a suitable technique!”
With so many techniques to choose from, it was impossible for him to try each one. Just by reading the description, it was challenging to select a suitable method.
However, the Black YuanYing, who was of royal origin, knew the library like the back of his hand. With his keen eye and extensive knowledge, he was ideally suited to make a selection.
“In my view, given your current situation, you should strive to increase your cultivation level as quickly as possible and then head to the Extreme North to find the Chi of Origin. It’s a complete waste of time to practice Body Refining Techniques!”
The Black YuanYing struggled to understand Xu Mu’s decision to cultivate the Body Refining Techniques.
Body Refining Techniques were notoriously difficult to master and demanded a great deal of vitality. In other words, they were better suited to young cultivators. Given Xu Mu’s current situation, it seemed like a waste of time.
If he forced himself to cultivate it, he would not only end up with nothing but also risk potential harm.
“You just help me pick, why the unnecessary chatter!”
Naturally, Xu Mu did not disclose to the Black YuanYing about the system he possessed that allowed him to quickly master any Body Refining Technique as long as he had enough Energy Pills.
He wasn’t worried about the Black YuanYing finding out, as he could control the God Refining Tripod so effortlessly that the Black YuanYing couldn’t sense anything about the outside world.
“If you want to do something this stupid, it’s up to you. Just don’t delay finding Chi of Origin! It’s been hundreds of years since I last noticed it, and no one knows what changed there. You should move quickly!”
