82: Chapter 82 Receiving Resources

Upon learning that Yun Song possessed a Five-Element Spiritual Root, Steward Liu's face instantly darkened as if stained with ink.

He let out a heavy snort from his nose, his face full of disgust.

"A Five-Element Spiritual Root? Your Cultivate progress is as slow as a snail; think of how many resources it will take to see any results."

"You're likely a hopeless case, just wasting the Sect's savings."

After speaking, Steward Liu slapped the Storage Pouch at his waist with his right hand and gave a wave.

Instantly, a clattering pile of colorful Spirit Stones, two sets of inner Sect robes, a bottle of bigu pill, and ten bottles of Qi Gathering pills appeared on the table.

"There are one thousand Spirit Stones here in total, divided into the five attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, with two hundred of each."

"Keep this identity token safe; you will rely on it to enter and exit all parts of the Sect. If you lose it, don't come looking for me. Go over there and choose a Magical Artifact."

Yun Song thanked him repeatedly: "Many thanks, Steward Liu." After speaking, he turned to choose a Magical Artifact.

The display of Magical Artifacts was dazzling, with crisscrossing lights that left him dizzy.

Yun Song's gaze wandered among the many Magical Artifacts, thinking to himself: "Although these Magical Artifacts each have their wonders, the most suitable one is the best."

He swept his eyes across them and saw a mining hoe, which was extremely similar to the one he carried on his shoulder.

As for the other Magical Artifacts, he felt they would not be handy to use.

"Adding another mining hoe will provide an extra layer of security if I encounter any emergencies in the future."

Thinking this, he unhesitatingly picked up the mining hoe and weighed it in his hand a few times; the familiar feel put his mind at ease.

He carefully inspected the edge of the mining hoe, confirmed it was incredibly sharp, and nodded with satisfaction.

Yun Song chose the mining hoe, shouldered it, returned to Steward Liu, and said respectfully.

"Steward Liu, I have made my choice."

Steward Liu waved his hand impatiently: "Fine, fine, stop standing there. Pack your things and leave quickly; don't delay my rest time."

Yun Song looked at the items on the table, momentarily at a loss.

"Junior Brother Yun, let me help you."

Chen Changsheng keenly sensed Yun Song's embarrassment.

He stepped forward and picked up the Storage Pouch issued specifically for Yun Song.

A two-colored light flickered at his fingertips, a wisp of refined spiritual power quietly condensed, and then it was gently injected into the Storage Pouch.

He turned his gaze to the items on the table, and wisps of white mist immediately drifted out from the mouth of the Storage Pouch.

The white mist floated leisurely onto the items, spreading rapidly to envelop all of them.

The white mist gradually shrank and flew back into the Storage Pouch.

Subsequently, Chen Changsheng turned his head slightly, looked at Yun Song, and said: "Junior Brother Yun, give me your bundle and mining hoe as well."

Yun Song handed them over as instructed; Chen Changsheng took them steadily and placed the bundle and the two mining hoes beside the table.

The Storage Pouch once again emitted white mist to envelop the bundle and the mining hoes, drawing them inside.

Chen Changsheng cast another Spell and said: "Junior Brother, I have already removed the imprint on the Storage Pouch. Once you Cultivate spiritual power in the future and imprint it again, you will be able to take out the items inside at will."

Yun Song had seen Steward Wu use a Storage Pouch to store items several years ago.

But watching Chen Changsheng pack things for him with his own eyes this time, he couldn't help but feel a surge of amazement and novelty.

A warm current quietly spread in the depths of his heart.

The nervousness he felt when first entering the Sect and facing so many unfamiliar things gradually eased under Chen Changsheng's help.

Chen Changsheng's smile was gentle, his eyes full of respect as he bowed and cupped his hands toward Steward Liu, speaking earnestly.

"Steward Liu, we have troubled you for long enough; we shall take our leave now."

After speaking, he gently nudged Yun Song with his elbow and tilted his head slightly to signal for them to leave together.

The two walked with light steps and slowly backed out of the room.

Once the door closed again, Chen Changsheng patted Yun Song on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Junior Brother Yun, don't take it to heart."

"The path of cultivation is long by nature; heroes are not judged by their origins, and there are no age limits."

"You just need to focus on your own cultivation and prove yourself with your strength. For now, I will take you to the Cultivation Technique Pavilion to select some Cultivation Techniques."

"Junior Brother, you are currently still in the Qi Refining Realm, so many Cultivation Techniques are difficult for you to practice."

"For now, you can only select some auxiliary Cultivation Techniques. As for raising your Realm, you must primarily rely on the Spirit Guiding Art."

As soon as Chen Changsheng said the words "Spirit Guiding Art," Yun Song secretly pondered: Is the Spirit Guiding Art he mentioned the same one I practiced before?

However, the words reached his lips, but Yun Song ultimately refrained from asking.

He simply watched Chen Changsheng silently.

The two walked along, and after about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they arrived at a mountain peak.

A massive stone building appeared before their eyes; hanging above the entrance was a stone plaque engraved with the three golden characters "Cultivation Technique Pavilion."

The two walked into the hall and saw a White-clothed Man sitting upright on a chair.

On the table was a teapot and a cup, and the man held a book in his hand; he looked to be about thirty years old.

Seeing the two enter, he placed the book in his hand on the table and revealed a kindly smile.

"This is Steward Wang, who is specifically in charge of distributing Cultivation Techniques," Chen Changsheng whispered to Yun Song.

"I ask for Steward Wang's guidance in the future!" Yun Song quickly said respectfully.

"Hehe! Junior Brother, there is no need to be so polite!" Steward Wang responded in a kind tone.

Chen Changsheng continued: "Steward Wang, this Junior Brother Yun just joined the Sect today and has come to select a few sets of Cultivation Techniques."

"Do you see over there? The Cultivation Techniques are all arranged in designated areas."

Steward Wang pointed his finger and continued.

"Since you just joined the Sect, according to the rules, you must first receive the Spirit Guiding Art; it is in the first cabinet."

"The second cabinet stores auxiliary Cultivation Techniques, and the third cabinet contains Elementary Spells; you may take them to Cultivate. They all have detailed instructions written on them, so you can go over and take your time selecting."

"As for the cabinets further back, they contain Intermediate Spells, Advanced Spells, and secret arts respectively."

"Given your current situation, you are not yet able to practice them, so there is no need to go over there; do not waste your time."

Chen Changsheng casually pulled over a stool and sat down leisurely.

With a strong yearning for Cultivation Techniques, Yun Song couldn't wait and walked quickly toward the wall.

His gaze instantly locked onto the first cabinet, where a Jade Slip lay quietly.

He reached out and picked it up; the three ancient characters for "Spirit Guiding Art" came into view.

Upon careful study, he discovered that this Cultivation Technique was for drawing in the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, which was no different from what he had learned before, except for the medium; previously it was a book, and this time it was a Jade Slip.

Although he had already mastered it, having an extra safeguard was always good, so he took out the Jade Slip, thinking in his heart that he might discover some new insights in the future.

Subsequently, he moved to the second cabinet, his gaze quickly scanning among the many Cultivation Techniques.

At first, the Cultivation Techniques he saw failed to move him; he couldn't help but frown slightly, shake his head gently, his face full of dissatisfaction.

However, when his gaze landed on two of the Jade Slips, his eyes instantly lit up.

On one of the Jade Slips, it was clearly written "Turtle Breathing Technique." Cultivating this technique could conceal one's own aura, which was undoubtedly an excellent life-saving method for Yun Song, who had to survive in the perilous world of cultivation. He couldn't help but feel secretly delighted, as if he had found a rare treasure.

And the other Jade Slip recorded the healing "Wood Spirit Immortal Art."

This "Wood Spirit Immortal Art" had three levels and could draw in the wood-attribute Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, transforming it into spiritual liquid for healing.

Yun Song knew deeply that injuries were inevitable on the path of cultivation; possessing such a healing Cultivation Technique might save his life at a critical moment, so its preciousness went without saying.

Holding these two Jade Slips, a gratified smile appeared on his face, his heart full of the joy of having achieved his wish.
