There was no end to these cultivation methods. Even the third floor had an absurd amount of cultivation techniques.
'I get that you don't like any of these methods, but at least adjust your power curve so that I can understand the power difference between them. Who are you helping by saying Extremely Weak to everything?!'
Hearing the sound of scrolls hitting the floor along with a muffled scream, Han De moved towards the nearby balcony while frowning.
Looking down, he saw Ning Bi on the floor with a bunch of scrolls laying around and a thin-looking youth looking at her in a daze.
'This is the first time she visited anywhere in the sect! With maximum luck, her encounter rate is really off the charts. Is that guy a capture target I wonder? His looks are OK, he seems to be at 5th stage Qi Condensation. Perhaps he is the legendary forever rebound guy?'
Han De rolled his eyes on Otome Game Heroine and her prey and went back to check more cultivation methods.

A few hours after, Han De went down to the first floor. He had found a few dozen cultivation methods that were entirely dependent on pure light element roots. After reviewing all of them with his limited knowledge, he chose 5 of them. Now he needed a quiet space to use some points to comprehend them, and then finally derive a new method from them.
He immediately saw the gloomy-looking Ning Bi nearby, still looking at random scrolls. He had kept an eye on her and already knew how she scoured the entire first floor. Feeling her masters gaze on herself, Ning Bi timidly walked towards him.
”Master, I have looked and looked but I can't find anything that really spoke to me”
Now, this was unexpected.
'Really? You couldn't find anything? Not even a dangerous incomplete art? Are you an MC or what?'
Han De suppressed the urge to pinch his glabella. Previous cultivation pervert visited archives only once. His cultivation method came from the Han family so he didn't need one. He looked at the martial arts, loudly complained about how trash and useless they were, and then left. He never came back to the archives and would even scoff at it when someone mentioned. It would've been fine if it was left with that, but this idiot actually went on and created his own sword art and became famous with it.
Elder Fu looked amiable but Han De was certain he wouldn't hesitate to calculate against him. He belonged to a different internal faction after all. Han De decided to bite the bullet and ask instead of searching for a method himself, he was already sick of looking at jade slips. He found him by himself on the second floor.
”Elder Fu, I need a cultivation method for my disciple. Could you tell me which cultivation art is the most dangerous here? I don't care if it is an incomplete one, I just want the most dangerous one, preferably one that caused multiple people to die, or go crazy, or go crazy and die. I'm not picky”
Elder Fu couldn't believe what he had heard and stood there with a blank look on his face.
'So he didn't die, but went crazy? Interesting. A bit disappointing, but still workable'
Realizing what he said out loud, Han De was about to make some excuse, but Elder Fu interrupted him.
”I remember a fire element cultivation method called Blazing Fury. Over the years there have been a number of disciples that tried to cultivate it but all of them failed.”
Feeling intrigued, Han De couldn't help but ask. ”What happened to those disciples?”
”Nearly all of them burned to death unfortunately. Those with special constitutions were luckier and they were just crippled. This scripture requires precise control of fire elemental energy and it is incomplete at the Qi Condensation stage, Elder Yang tried to reconstruct it's matrix some years ago but failed. As such we put it on the 7th floor for the safety of the disciples”
Han De was now certain. This was it. With 100% pure fire roots Ning Bi could perfectly control fire elemental energy. Probably.
”Thank you, Elder Fu, I will take a cautionary look at it”
Han De gave a faint nod, quickly took away the Blazing Sun scripture from the 7th floor and left with Ning Bi.

'Fine whatever, it's not like I have any other choice, it should be fine as long as I don't cultivate it, right?'
[Blazing Sun Scripture (incomplete) comprehension successful]
Han De instinctively braced himself for a lot of pain and suffering. He was very familiar with how Xianxia systems worked. Good things would be followed by pain. But he was pleasantly surprised.
'This feeling of understanding, it is similar to what happened when I got Han De's memories, but this is more complete, somehow more thorough. Like the difference between rote memorization and actually learning something.'
Feeling content, Han De looked at his cultivation methods.

'I have no frame of reference to know if that is cheap or expensive. But considering the method itself is Very Weak, it probably is expensive isn't it…'
'Complete it!'
