The old man in gray looked at Li Yan.
"The green-colored skills and magic within the pavilion are free, while other colors require spiritual stones to obtain."
Li Yan seemed to understand what he heard and looked at Li Wuyi in confusion. Li Wuyi smiled and answered for him.
"Uncle Gu, I will explain this to him in detail later."
"Well, go in!"
The old man in gray lazily raised his hand and waved it behind him. In an instant, a vortex black hole appeared in the air behind him. The vortex was suspended in the air, slowly rotating, which was very mysterious and unknown.
Li Yan looked a little dazed. He could vaguely guess the purpose of this vortex, but looking at the black hole like a monster's huge mouth, he couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart.
Li Wuyi took a step forward and pulled Li Yan. Without waiting for his reaction, his body immediately left the ground and flew into the black hole vortex.
Li Wuyu's sudden action startled Li Yan. He felt dizzy and when he opened his eyes the next moment, he found himself standing in an attic.
The attic was about 22 feet in size, and Li Yan couldn't help but look around.
At this moment, he and Li Wuyi were standing in the middle of this attic. There was a black vortex slowly rotating behind them, and there were three staircases leading upwards in front.
As he thought, this place might be like a storage bag, located in another space. Or maybe the black vortex just now was the teleportation array he had heard of, which transported them to another place near Xiaozhu Peak.
Li Yan made guesses in his mind based on his limited experience.
"Junior brother, this is the Treasure Collection Pavilion. The left of the three staircases in front leads to the Book Collection Pavilion; the middle one leads to the Treasure Pavilion; and the right one leads to the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion. I think you know what they are used for by hearing the names."
Li Yan withdrew his gaze and looked at the stairs following Li Wuyi's words. The left staircase was flashing a faint white light, the middle staircase was flashing a light yellow light, and the right staircase was flashing a light blue light.
"Let's go!"
Li Wuyi raised his foot and walked towards the stairs on the right. Li Yan was also a little excited and followed him. This would be his first step into the world of immortal cultivation.
When the two of them walked to the stairs, a white light flashed on Li Wuyi's body, and the whole person disappeared. But when Li Yan stepped onto the stairs, he suddenly felt that he had hit an invisible barrier and was immediately bounced back.
He was caught off guard and almost fell to the ground. Li Yan looked a little stunned. He had just seen Li Wuyi walk in without any obstruction, but he was blocked outside.
"Is there also a magic circle protecting this place?"
Li Yan thought in his heart.
He took a few steps forward cautiously again, stretched out a finger and pressed towards the pale white light. The moment his finger touched the white light, it was as if he touched an invisible transparent film.
The membrane was elastic. Li Yan pressed it hard a few times but failed to puncture it.
Li Yan retracted his finger, thought for a moment, and ruled out the possibility of using the token on his waist to enter this place, because he did not see the eldest brother take out the token or any other light flashing on his body just now.
After thinking for a while, he filled his finger with spiritual power and poked at the film again. He felt that after a slight obstruction, his finger actually penetrated the film at once. The next moment, his finger disappeared before his eyes.
But Li Yan did not feel any pain. He slowly pulled out his finger, and the finger slowly moved from the root... and slowly appeared in his sight.
Now Li Yan understood how to step onto the stairs in front of him, so he summoned his spiritual power, his whole body flashing with black light, and he took another step towards the stairs.
He only felt a flash of white light in front of his eyes, and then he found himself standing on another floor of a building.
Li Wuyi was standing in front of him with his hands behind his back, his back to him. Li Yan couldn't help but say "shame" inwardly.
I had to gather all my spiritual power to come in, while Li Wuyi just walked in with a calm look on his face, without any hesitation.
Li Wuyi did not look back either. He stood there waiting for Li Yan to come in. It was also a small test of this junior brother's magic power. One needs to be at least at the third level of Qi Condensation Stage to enter. Otherwise, he needs someone else to bring him in.
He heard yesterday that Li Yan's consciousness could leave his body at the second level of Qi Condensation, so he deliberately wanted to see whether his junior brother's magic power was also higher than that of the cultivators of the same level, just like his spiritual consciousness.
Although he could roughly tell from his late foundation-building cultivation that Li Yan's magic power was not weak, he was not as powerful as his master and Uncle Gu, who could see through the depth of Li Yan's magic power at a glance.
Now seeing that Li Yan had indeed entered here relying on his own strength, Li Wuyi couldn't help but be surprised.
"My junior brother is indeed quite powerful. This shows that his 'dismembered poisonous body' is really terrifying. He has mixed spiritual roots!"
After Li Yan calmed himself down, he looked around. There were ten rows of bookshelves in the room, filled with jade slips and ancient books.
"These are just the Qi Condensation Stage techniques. Green is the common one, and yellow is the advanced one."
Li Wuyi's gentle voice sounded beside his ear.
Li Yan had already seen that both the jade slips and the ancient books were flashing with faint green or yellow light.
“You can choose any green one, but you need spirit stones to buy the yellow ones. Most of the yellow ones are high-level immortal arts, and a small number of the yellow ones are exercises. After all, high-level exercises are hard to come by no matter which realm you are in.
Junior brother, you can choose the yellow technique. As for the spirit stones, I can lend them to you first. You can return them when you have them in the future.
For immortal arts, it is better to choose green and lower-level ones. After all, immortal arts training needs to be practiced from the basics step by step, unlike martial arts which are judged by their quality. You can take a look first."
Li Wuyi turned his head and looked at Li Yan with a smile. After saying this, he never spoke again.
Li Yan was still looking around curiously. After hearing what the senior brother said, he thanked him and then took a few steps forward and came to a bookshelf.
He picked up a green jade slip and immersed his consciousness into it. Suddenly, some information appeared in his mind. "Cloud Locking Cangmu Gong, a low-level wood-based Gong method, practicing this Gong method can make the spiritual power far-reaching and profound. When attacking, it contains the power of clouds and mist, which is unpredictable... When practicing, you can use hairy leaf grass, clumps of words, and leaves to wash the marrow of the body, and gradually make the body as strong as iron..."
After reading the general outline, Li Yan put down the jade slip, then looked at a jade slip next to it that was emitting yellow light, and immediately released his spiritual sense.
"Great Magnetic Technique, an intermediate entry-level magic technique, price: seven low-level spirit stones, effect: can create a gravity field of one to ten times greater within ten feet of the body, and all living things within this range will be affected by gravity, and their movements will be slow or even crushed to death by gravity."
Li Yan took out a few more ancient books from the bookshelves. These ancient books seemed to be made of the skin of some unknown monster. He opened an ancient book that was flashing with green light.
"History of the Desolate Moon Continent..." This is a book that introduces the history of the immortal cultivation world of this continent since ancient times.
Then open an ancient book that is flashing yellow light.
"Experience of flying technique, price: seven low-level spirit stones..." This should be the experience of cultivation left by the predecessors.
Li Wu just watched Li Yan quietly at first, and saw him walk and stop, and release his spiritual sense from time to time. Only then did he really confirm that Li Yan, who was in the second stage of Qi Condensation, had such ability. After a while, he also walked over and explained from time to time...
An hour later, Li Yan returned to the black vortex in front of the first floor attic with five green jade slips and seven or eight green ancient books.
Li Wuyi shook his head helplessly. He wanted to choose a water-based skill called "Tianji Liu" from the yellow jade slip for Li Yan, but Li Yan thought about it for a while and then shook his head to reject it.
Finally, he chose a martial arts book called "Ten Thousand Yuan Gong". This is a martial arts book without attributes, which means that anyone with spiritual roots can practice it, as Li Yan explained.
"He is a mixed spiritual root. If he simply practices water-attributed techniques, it might not be as fast as practicing this technique!"
Because the biggest feature of this technique is its fast advancement, and it has a magical effect in breaking through bottlenecks in various realms. In general, it can be summed up in one word.
"quick!"
But its shortcomings are also particularly obvious. The attack power is too weak. Compared with the cultivators of the same level, the attack power of those who practice this technique is simply not worth mentioning. Generally speaking, this technique was created for those who are dedicated to seeking immortality.
After Li Wuyi thought about it, he stopped forcing it. He knew that after cultivating the mixed spiritual roots to the seventh or eighth level of the Qi Condensation Stage, it would be very difficult to advance further. Even with the help of a large number of elixirs, the difficulty of building the foundation would be several times that of other spiritual roots.
Instead of this, it would be better to give this junior brother a chance to advance and gain immortality.
The sect's original intention was to mobilize a large amount of resources and then cultivate a person with outstanding combat power in the Foundation Establishment Period, but Wei Chongran finally wanted Li Yan to go his own way.
The foundation-building period is only over two hundred years. If Li Yan has his own great immortal fate, then he may be able to advance to a higher level.
Therefore, Wei Chongran did not tell Li Wuyi what martial arts to choose for Li Yan. But Li Wuyi was such a smart man that, although his master did not explain it, he vaguely guessed that the sect was willing to accept a disciple with mixed spiritual roots in order to bring out the effect of the poisonous body.
Li Yan just wanted to find a random martial art, since he didn't know how to practice it anyway, but the martial art he chose should also be able to cover up the Guishui Sutra. Later, when he saw the "Wanyuan Gong", his eyes lit up.
This book was just like it was tailor-made for him. It had no attribute and was good at breaking through bottlenecks. If he showed any signs of advancement in the future, or used any kind of attribute aura to come out, after understanding the technique he practiced, it would be considered normal.
Therefore, Li Yan decisively chose this martial art. If Li Wuyi continued to persuade him, he would find various reasons to refuse.
The other four green jade slips are the immortal arts that he has longed for.
He chose "Wind Blade Technique", "Fireball Technique", "Quicksand Technique" and "Cloud and Rain Technique". There are many free basic magic techniques. It is impossible for Li Yan to choose them all at once. He knows the principle of biting off more than you can chew.
As for the seven or eight ancient books that were shining with green light, they were the historical classics of the continent and introductory books on cultivating immortals, all of which were books such as "History of the Wild Moon Continent" and "Compendium of Types of Cultivation".
Li Yan knew that his foundation was too shallow and he needed to accumulate a large amount of information. The ancient books he selected included not only historical classics, but also other types of knowledge on cultivating immortals, such as introductions to formations and elixirs, etc.
He didn't want to practice these skills, but he wanted to have a general idea of them. It was necessary to have a rough understanding of them.
According to Li Wuyi, after these jade slips and books are taken out, they must be checked by the old man in gray, and then sealed into his sea of consciousness with magic. When he needs it, he can remove the seal little by little, and finally form his own memory until the seal is completely removed and disappears.
Li Yan looked at the remaining two stairs, and just as he was about to go out, he asked Li Wuyi.
"Big Brother, do those two places also require mana to enter like the library?"
Li Wuyi did not answer the question directly, but spoke with a slight smile.
“There are various restrictions hidden inside the library. The library we entered before only allowed people in the Qi Condensation Stage to practice various methods.
In fact, there is a staircase in the corner of the attic. I wonder if you can see it? That staircase leads to the floor where you can practice martial arts and immortal arts that can only be practiced in the foundation-building stage."
Li Yan was stunned and recalled carefully. It seemed that there was a corner covered with white light. At that time, he was busy reading jade slips and classics and did not pay too much attention to it.
Li Wuyi continued.
“In this way, there are stairs leading up to the Nascent Soul stage in each floor of the library, but only those with sufficient strength can enter. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to enter the higher floors, you will also be attacked by forbidden techniques and may even die.
The other two staircases you mentioned are not divided by realm, but must be led by Master Gu himself to enter. They are full of magical pills and treasures, which are precious cultivation resources. "
Having said that, Li Wuyi slapped the storage bag on his waist, a colorful light flashed, and several items appeared in the air.
“Speaking of these resources, I might as well give you some of them here. In addition to the items you received at the Deacon Hall of Laojun Peak when you entered, Xiaozhu Peak also distributes cultivation resources to its disciples every month.
You will receive three low-grade spirit stones and three fasting pills every month, which is the same as the Qi Condensation disciples of the other four peaks. From now on, you just need to go to the main hall in front at the hour of Mao three days before the beginning of each month to collect them.
In addition, once you successfully build your foundation, your cultivation resources will increase exponentially."
Looking at a small porcelain bottle and three crystal jades floating in the air, Li Yan's face showed joy. He didn't expect that he could get spiritual stones again. After thanking them quickly, he put all the things into his storage bag.
