80: How did you go down the mountain so quickly?
Before long, Mo Fan arrived at the Outer Sect Scripture Hall.
The layout of the Outer Sect Scripture Hall was basically the same as the Menial Service Yard Scripture Hall, just looking a bit grander.
As soon as he entered, Mo Fan was taken aback, his face full of surprise.
He saw an acquaintance.
An old man with gray hair, resting his chin on his hand, was dozing off at the management counter.
Suspecting he had seen wrong, he quickly cast an Appraisal Technique.
The Virtual panel flashed, and the appraisal information belonging to the old man appeared.
[Qin Wentian, Xiantian Third Level, Outer Sect Disciple of Yuxu Academy, Keeper of the Outer Sect Scripture Hall. Having performed well in the Menial Service Yard, diligent and responsible for decades, Qin Wentian finally moved the higher-ups and was exceptionally promoted to an Outer Sect Disciple.]
"So he was promoted. I thought I had walked into the wrong place—"
Mo Fan scratched his head.
"However, are the words 'diligent and responsible for decades' serious?"
Mo Fan glanced at Old Man Qin, who was dozing off, and looked up at the sky, speechless.
Last time in the Menial Service Yard, he also saw Old Man Qin dozing off.
You call this diligent?
Of course, Mo Fan thought this was quite good.
As a worker, slacking off is a skill that must be maxed out.
Apparently, Old Man Qin's attainments in this area were quite good.
"Senior, please help me register." Mo Fan walked forward and gently shook Old Man Qin's shoulder.
Old Man Qin woke up groggily, wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, yawned, and said somewhat slurred:
"Name?"
"Mo Fan."
"Age?"
"18."
"Gender?"
"?"
Are you serious?
"Gender?" Old Man Qin repeated.
Mo Fan rolled his eyes and handed over his identity token directly.
The identity token had a number on it; by entering the number directly, all information would come out.
Seeing the identity token, Old Man Qin finally woke up and said somewhat embarrassedly:
"Sorry, sorry, I'm old, I forgot that I could just input the number to retrieve the information, hahaha—"
Mo Fan: "..."
No wonder you only got promoted in your old age.
Why didn't I notice you were so unreliable last time?
"2013963341—"
While entering the information, Old Man Qin looked up at Mo Fan.
It didn't matter if he didn't look, but upon looking, Old Man Qin immediately froze.
"Y-y-you—"
"W-w-what about me?" Mo Fan looked at him.
"I-I-I remember you!" Old Man Qin's eyes widened larger than a cow's.
"W-w-what a coincidence, I remember you too." Mo Fan laughed.
"Go, go, go, don't mimic me."
Old Man Qin glared at Mo Fan and continued: "You really promoted to the Outer Sect?"
He felt it was somewhat incredible.
Back then, when Mo Fan said he would promote to the Outer Sect in two months, he only thought the young man was bragging, but he didn't expect...
"Yes, I just came to report yesterday." Mo Fan nodded.
"Your current cultivation—" Old Man Qin swallowed, quickly glanced at the information displayed on the computer screen, and was stunned again.
"B-Body Tempering Seventh Level? How is this possible—"
Mo Fan scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "I had a small Breakthrough these past few days; the information hasn't been updated yet."
Old Man Qin: "..."
Is that the point?!
He took a deep breath and asked that somewhat unbelievable question tremblingly:
"Did you really master the Vajra Fist?"
Passing the Promotion Assessment with Body Tempering Seventh Level cultivation.
There is only one explanation.
This kid mastered the Vajra Fist!
"Just good luck, hahahaha. I exchanged for the Vajra Fist that day, went back and practiced without sleep for two months, barely learned it, and luckily passed the Promotion Assessment."
Old Man Qin: "!!!"
Old Man Qin was so scared his whole body almost jumped up.
Learned the Vajra Fist in two months?!
Is he even human?!
Mo Fan smiled awkwardly, stopped chatting nonsense with him, and quickly said:
"Senior, please help me register. I should have the authority for a free exchange. This time, I need to exchange for a Cultivation Technique and a Martial Skill."
"Oh, okay, okay." Old Man Qin nodded quickly and began to check.
"Yes, you indeed have the authority. Go and choose directly. Once you've chosen, come to me to register."
"Thank you, Senior." After thanking him, Mo Fan walked towards the retrieval terminal.
At this hour, everyone was either doing missions to grind resources or hiding in cultivation rooms to Cultivate. There weren't many people in the Scripture Hall, only a few scattered Disciples picking out Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills.
The retrieval machines were basically idle.
Mo Fan opened the search box and searched for Martial Skills first.
"High power, high cultivation difficulty, cool effects—"
Clack, he typed in the keywords and Mo Fan clicked confirm.
Afterward, 404 popped up.
Mo Fan's face darkened; he deleted the four words "cool effects" and searched again.
Browsing through the retrieved Martial Skills one by one, Mo Fan ultimately chose the Vajra Fist - Innate Chapter.
Even in the Outer Sect, the Vajra Fist was still one of the best.
After all, it was equivalent to a First-rate Martial Skill.
After choosing the Martial Skill, Mo Fan used the same method to filter Cultivation Techniques.
Ultimately, he chose a Cultivation Technique named Innate Art.
Although the name was plain and simple, it was also a First-rate Cultivation Technique.
The Innate Art was the Cultivation Technique with the highest cultivation difficulty in the Outer Sect; very few people had mastered it.
After choosing the Cultivation Technique and Martial Skill, Mo Fan found the relevant video discs and walked towards Old Man Qin.
"Y-you chose the hardest one again?" Looking at the video discs Mo Fan handed over, Old Man Qin swallowed.
"Yes, after all, difficulty and power are basically positively correlated."
Old Man Qin nodded with some difficulty and helped Mo Fan register the information.
"Room 302, you can go now. It's still four hours."
"Thank you, Senior." Mo Fan thanked him and walked towards the temporary cultivation room of the Scripture Hall.
Innate-level Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills could be normally practiced after opening the Qi Sea, but without the impetus of Innate Protective Aura, the effect would be greatly diminished.
Watching Mo Fan's departing back, Old Man Qin didn't recover for a long time.
Finally, he sighed and said with a reminiscent look: "This kid's talent is a bit scary—"
...
Two hours later.
Mo Fan, who had already learned the Innate Art and the Vajra Fist, walked slowly out of the cultivation room.
In fact, he learned this stuff after one look; practicing it took some time, but it didn't exceed an hour in total.
In order to appear slightly more normal, he forced himself to practice it several more times.
"Learned it so quickly?" Seeing Mo Fan come out, Old Man Qin was dumbfounded.
How long has it been?
"Barely remembered it, I'll go back and ponder it slowly." Mo Fan explained.
"That's true, you haven't entered the Innate realm yet, so you can only remember it first and practice slowly later—" Old Man Qin nodded thoughtfully.
"Senior, farewell." Mo Fan smiled, returned the video discs, and turned to leave.
However, just as he reached the door, Mo Fan seemed to think of something and turned back.
"What is it?" Old Man Qin looked at Mo Fan politely.
"I would like to ask Senior, is the task of recording instructional videos for Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills posted by you?"
"Yes, it is me." Old Man Qin nodded blankly.
"Then, in the future, when it's necessary to re-record the Innate Art and the Vajra Fist - Innate Chapter, could Senior notify this Junior..." Mo Fan said shyly.
Old Man Qin was stunned, obviously looking blank, but after realizing what was meant, he nodded and said:
"No problem. There is your information record on the computer. I will send you a text message when the time comes, and you can just come over to record."
"However, that's all I can do. Whether your instructional video is ultimately selected depends on its quality; it's not something I can decide."
"Thank you, Senior!" Mo Fan thanked him, beaming with joy, and turned to leave.
Very good, another way to earn Spirit Stones has been added.
...
The next day.
Mo Fan climbed out of bed, feeling refreshed.
After cultivating the Innate Art and the Innate Chapter of the Vajra Fist, Mo Fan's strength improved by a tiny bit.
This way, he could at least trade blows with the Red-Clothed Female Ghost.
Without being trampled, the quality of sleep naturally improved significantly.
"Not bad, in another three or four days, there will be hope for a counter-kill!" Mo Fan was full of fighting spirit.
After a simple wash, taking advantage of the rising morning sun, Mo Fan quickly opened the window and Cultivated the Golden Body Art facing the sunlight.
A quarter of an hour later, after finishing his cultivation, Mo Fan simply packed his luggage and prepared to go out.
"Li Xinghe asked me to go there at nine o'clock. It's still early, let me go to Wen Buyan's place first."
Mo Fan planned to leave a message at Wen Buyan's place, lest Xu Jing come down the mountain and not find him.
"That ghost place, the Sword Pavilion, is too seriously affected by Sword Intent; there's not even a signal, otherwise a phone call or a text message would suffice."
"In the afternoon, while working in the Spirit Herb Garden, I still have to squeeze in time to go to the Pill Dao Hall to complete the assessment for the Spirit Medicine collection task. Why did things suddenly get so busy?"
Mo Fan complained, pushed the door open, and prepared to go to the Assessment Hall to find Wen Buyan.
However, just as he pushed open the door, he saw a pretty figure standing in front of him.
It was Xu Jing.
"Why did you come down the mountain so quickly?" Mo Fan asked in confusion.
