These are the three secret books that Ding Hao finally chose.
Basically, they are the three highest-grade books stored on the third floor of this [Cangjiantang Arsenal].
The two old monsters, Daozu and Swordzu, were also quite satisfied with Ding Hao's choice.
Calculating with his fingers, he found that the time had reached the upper limit in the blink of an eye. Ding Hao carefully held the three wooden boxes and returned the same way. He came to the door of the [Sword Tower Arsenal] and met the man who was lying on the wicker chair and watching with relish again. The white-haired old man from a certain vernacular novel.
"Have you finally chosen? Let me see." The white-haired old man took the three wooden boxes from Ding Hao's hand.
"Well, little guy, you have good vision and ambition. The three secret books in the third level of [Sword Tower Arsenal], which are the most powerful but also the most difficult to practice, have been chosen by you." The white-haired old man said on his face. , showing a hint of surprise.
However, after a pause, the white-haired old man said seriously: "Little guy, although you have a good taste, I still advise you to make a new choice and don't choose these three books."
Ding Hao was stunned: "Why?"
"Their training conditions are strict, and the training cycle is too long to be effective in a short time. It will make your strength seem to grow very slowly. Moreover, you are now the first among the five colleges in the competition, and you will face countless challenges. Challenge, if your strength cannot improve by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, you will be exhausted." The white-haired old man said with a solemn expression.
A smile appeared on Ding Hao's face and he said gratefully: "Thank you for the elder's advice. However, I believe that the path to martial arts lies in accumulation and long-term benefits. We should not pursue quick success, which will lead to an unstable foundation. I am still willing to choose these three books. .”
The old man shook his head and said helplessly: "Sure enough, you have the same stubborn temper as that old monster. Whatever, I won't force you. I will give you one day. If you regret it after one day, you can come to me and give you an extra chance to change. .”
Ding Hao bowed in gratitude and said, "Thank you, elder, for your concern!"
"Okay, register in the borrowing register next to it, and then take it back to study. You can make a handwritten copy yourself, but remember, you must not teach the contents of the secret book to others without the approval of the chief instructor of your college. Disciple, otherwise, the sect’s rules are so strict that no one can save you when the time comes.”
"Disciple knows."
Ding Hao filled out the borrowing register, thanked him again, and turned to leave.
…
Watching Ding Hao's figure disappear into the distance, the white-haired old man was lying on the bamboo and rattan lounge chair, facing the air in front of him, and suddenly said: "The boy you are interested in is really good, he is a bit interesting, and he doesn't let me down." My trip was in vain."
"Haha, the person I am interested in is of course a good prospect. Thank you very much this time for letting you, the first leader of the [Cang Jian Tang Arsenal], to be the gatekeeper in person." In the air, a person Ding Hao's absolutely familiar voice said.
"My hard work is nothing, but you have to take good care of this young talent of yours. Among the registered disciples of this year, there are many bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods. They are also making moves over there. Don't let the former The tragedy happened again, geniuses are always prone to die young!"
After the white-haired old man finished speaking, there was a flash of silver flames, and the person and the entire wicker chair suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"Hmph, this time, I will never make any compromise. Whoever dares to touch my people, I will kill him!" The voice in the air was so cold and terrifying that the temperature suddenly dropped.
Then, before the [Sword Tower Arsenal], calm returned.
After half a stick of incense, an ordinary inner sect elder came to the door of the [Sword Tower Arsenal] to take duty.
There is also an endless stream of disciples of all kinds coming to this [Sword Tower Arsenal] to borrow or return secret books.
"If you stay on the first level for one hour, you need to pay five sect contribution points, ten sect contribution points on the second level, fifteen sect contribution points on the third level..." The elder on duty loudly announced the price of visiting and borrowing Xuan Gong secret books.
…
As soon as Ding Hao returned to his room, before he could carefully read through the three selected Xuan Gong secret books, there was a knock on the door outside.
Wang Xiaoqi and Zhang Fan appeared at the door.
The past few days have passed. Zhang Fan used the gold he got from gambling to buy some herbs that stimulate the human body's potential. After taking them, he finally successfully stimulated the Xuan Qi seeds and initially mastered the power of Xuan Qi. Before, I don't know how many times it was faster, and my whole person seemed to be energetic and practiced more diligently.
Wang Xiaoqi, on the other hand, has finally reached the middle level of the First Aperture Warrior Realm.
It's just that he obviously doesn't practice as hard as the Orion boy. With his talent, this level of progress can only be regarded as average.
"Senior Brother Ding, just now General Instructor Wang Juefeng sent someone to tell you that in three days, we will have our first outing trial. This time we chose the ninth-level trial area near Wenjian Sect. There are relatively few demons. , the risk is also slightly lower. Senior Brother Zhong and I want to go to the sect’s business district to purchase some necessary supplies for going out for trials. Senior Brother Ding, are you interested in going with us?”
Zhang Fan warmly invited.
Ding Hao was overjoyed and wanted to go out for a trial? Finally have a chance to see the world outside of Wenjian Sect
"Okay, let's go together."
Ding Hao also thought about purchasing.
The three of them met, chatted and laughed, and walked toward the Wenjian Sect's business district together.
…
The commercial area is the area where all kinds of life, cultivation and trading items are concentrated in the Wenjian Sect Mountain Gate.
From the bottom to the top of Wenjian Sect's mountain gate, there are nine stair areas in total.
The fifth courtyard in the southeast, northwest and northwest where the registered disciples are located is at the bottom of the ninth step area and is the outermost. The sect's commercial area, which is closest to the fifth courtyard, is located in the seventh step area. It is not small in scale, but whether it is items In terms of scale, it is obviously not comparable to the commercial districts in the core areas of the sects further up.
This is Ding Hao's first time coming to this business district.
There are people coming and going here, and there is constant noise, just like the commercial streets on earth in the past life.
The street is spacious and flat, with antique shops of various sizes on both sides, hanging with gilt plaques. They are engaged in various businesses and are all time-honored brands, such as [Lingdan Hall], [Lingyaoju], [Excalibur] Hall], [Fuyue Pawn Shop], [zì you replacement hall] and so on, there are countless places.
In addition to these well-decorated shops, there are also various stalls on the roadside, with vendors selling loudly.
The people doing business here include the registered disciples of the Wenjian Sect, outer disciples, inner disciples, and even some elder-level big shots. Of course, in addition to the people of the Wenjian Sect, there are also many outsiders who have been admitted. Vouchers can also be used for buying and selling transactions here.
The degree of commercial development here far exceeds Ding Hao's imagination.
