Select a technique, break through again, and reach the eighth level of Qi training!

On the way to the Scripture Pavilion, Lin Mo weighed the warm, jade-like token in his hand, his heart a mix of emotions.

When he first arrived, his life plan was still focused on how to become a glorious Outer Sect Disciple so he could legitimately “stock up” at the Scripture Pavilion.

Who would have thought that plans change faster than they are made?

As soon as he slightly revealed his strength, his entire being directly took off, instantly becoming an Inner Sect Disciple.

An Inner Sect Disciple!

This was not the same concept as an Outer Sect Disciple.

Even though it was just one word difference, their statuses were like heaven and earth!

In the entire Qingxuan Sect, there were over three hundred Outer Sect Disciples, forming the grassroots of the Sect.

And Inner Sect Disciples?

At most, there were only about thirty of them.

These thirty-odd individuals were all at the Foundation Establishment Realm or above, the true core of the Qingxuan Sect.

One could say that Inner Sect Disciples were already the pillars of the Qingxuan Sect!

“What an unexpected development.”

“The Sect rules clearly state that one can only be promoted to Inner Sect upon Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

“But I didn’t expect that with my actions, the Sect would directly make an exception for me!”

“This is truly…”

Lin Mo muttered to himself as he walked.

Just yesterday, he was about to be expelled from the Sect due to his poor talent, and then ambushed and crippled by his arch-rival at the mountain gate.

Yet today, not only did he not have to leave, but he also skipped the Outer Sect entirely, transforming into a noble Inner Sect Disciple.

This promotion speed was like riding a rocket.

He still clearly remembered the Qingxuan Sect Grand Elder’s expression of “I have discovered a once-in-ten-thousand-years prodigy for the Sect.”

One could only say that overthinking was a sickness that needed to be cured.

However, for him, this was naturally a great stroke of luck.

The Scripture Pavilion was located at the Peak of the Qingxuan Sect’s main mountain, a simple and ancient three-story stone pagoda.

After Lin Mo showed his Inner Sect Disciple token, the Elder in charge of guarding it didn’t even lift an eyelid, simply waving his hand to let him pass.

This was privilege.

If an Outer Sect Disciple came, they would have to register, have a time limit, and it would be as troublesome as borrowing a book from a library.

Inside the Scripture Pavilion, tall bookshelves reached the ceiling, filled with various Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals, and the air was permeated with a faint scent of ink and the aura of time’s accumulation.

Lin Mo did not linger on the first floor; the Cultivation Techniques stored there were all relatively low-level, and he didn’t find them appealing.

He walked directly to the second floor.

The number of Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals on the second floor sharply decreased, but each one was far superior to the low-level Cultivation Techniques on the first floor.

Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills in the Cangxuan Great Realm were divided into four major Ranks based on quality: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow, with each Rank further subdivided into four smaller grades: Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, and Peak Grade.

Lin Mo scanned the area and quickly found the few highest-Ranked Cultivation Techniques in the second-floor section.

“Profound Rank Low Grade, 《Azure Origin Sword Art》…”

“Profound Rank Low Grade, 《Blazing Fire Heart Sutra》…”

“Profound Rank Medium Grade, Purple Heaven Qi Guiding Art…”

He picked up the Purple Heaven Qi Guiding Art and browsed its introduction.

This Cultivation Technique was upright and harmonious; the Spiritual Qi Cultivated from it was pure and abundant, capable of supporting a Cultivator up to the Golden Core Realm.

This was already the Qingxuan Sect’s most prized treasure.

“This is it.”

Lin Mo did not hesitate too much.

Although the Golden Core Realm cap didn’t sound impressive, for his current needs, it was perfectly sufficient.

Once his strength grew, it wouldn’t be too late to seek better Cultivation Techniques.

After selecting his main Cultivation Technique, Lin Mo began to consider Martial Skills, Movement Techniques, and Spells.

These three items were also divided into Ranks according to Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.

He circled the Martial Skill area and finally pulled out a Yellow Rank Low Grade Martial Skill that looked the most unassuming from a corner.

Collapsing Fist.

That’s right, it was the most trashy Yellow Rank Low Grade.

This wasn’t for his own use, but for the Body Tempering Realm Cultivators that would soon appear in Great Xia.

Because this Collapsing Fist, which he looked down upon, did not require Spiritual Qi to activate, but rather blood Qi.

This was perfectly suited for Body Tempering Realm Cultivators.

Next was Movement Technique.

Movement Techniques could save one’s life at critical moments, so Lin Mo naturally took them very seriously.

He carefully selected for a long time in the second-floor Movement Technique area, finally choosing a Yellow Rank Peak Grade Movement Technique, Illusion Maze Step.

Mainly because the Qingxuan Sect had no Profound Rank Movement Techniques, so he could only choose this one.

Furthermore, the introduction to this Movement Technique stated that when Cultivated to Major Achievement, one’s movements would be unpredictable, capable of dodging countless attacks within a small space, not inferior to a Profound Rank Low Grade Movement Technique.

It sounded like it could be very flashy.

Thus, he chose this one.

Finally, Spells.

As a qualified Cultivator, one couldn’t just rely on close-quarters combat.

Long-range attack methods were a must.

In the Spell area, he found a Profound Rank Low Grade lightning-element Spell, Shining Thunder.

This Spell could transform Spiritual Qi into lightning, with extremely fast attack speed and considerable power.

After selecting these four Secret Manuals, Lin Mo took them downstairs and performed a simple registration with the guarding Elder.

The Elder still maintained his half-dead demeanor, only slightly opening his eyes to confirm Lin Mo’s Inner Sect Disciple token when he saw the Purple Heaven Qi Guiding Art Lin Mo had chosen.

Leaving the Scripture Pavilion, Lin Mo followed the guidance on the token to his new residence assigned by the Sect.

It was an independent courtyard located halfway up the mountain.

The courtyard had flowers and grass, and a dedicated quiet room for Cultivation; the environment was serene and elegant, and the Spiritual Qi concentration was several levels higher than that of the Menial Labor Courtyard.

The treatment was like heaven and earth.

Lin Mo entered the quiet room, closed the door, and eagerly took out the Purple Heaven Qi Guiding Art, beginning to study it.

However, an hour passed.

Lin Mo stared at the words in the Secret Manual, his mind blank.

“What in the world is this nonsense?”

“Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Yin and Yang Five Elements, Meridians and acupoints… I recognize every word, so how do I become illiterate when they’re put together?”

He felt like he was back in high school, facing a brand new math textbook.

That feeling of powerlessness, those who know, know.

“Damn it! I can’t comprehend it, I simply can’t!”

Lin Mo discovered a very awkward truth.

That was, his Comprehension Ability seemed to still be at that extremely poor level.

So, he temporarily gave up struggling, took out paper and pen, and began working as a diligent translator.

He translated the content of the Purple Heaven Qi Guiding Art, word for word, sentence by sentence, into Great Xia script.

Afterward, he processed the three Secret Manuals, Collapsing Fist, Illusion Maze Step, and Shining Thunder, using the same method.

After completing all this, he bundled all these translated “study materials” and sent them to Lin Xiyue.

“Younger Sister, your brother’s future depends on you!”

“Go for it, you’re the best!”

After sending the items, Lin Mo let out a long breath, picked up the original Secret Manual of Purple Heaven Qi Guiding Art again, and continued to diligently comprehend it.

As a result, he had only looked at it for less than half an hour, feeling a headache.

Suddenly!

Boom!!!

A vast and pure Spiritual Qi erupted from within him without any warning!

This power was so surging that it instantly washed over his limbs and bones, causing all his Meridians to emit a comfortable hum!

The Spiritual Qi reserves within his body began to rapidly increase at a visible speed!

Qi Condensation Sixth Layer Peak!

Bottleneck shattered!

Qi Condensation Seventh Layer!

Qi Condensation Seventh Layer Middle Stage!

Qi Condensation Seventh Layer Peak!

With another soft sound, the Bottleneck was broken through again!

Qi Condensation Eighth Layer!

It wasn’t until his cultivation stabilized at Qi Condensation Eighth Layer that this violent Spiritual Qi growth slowly subsided.

Lin Mo was completely frozen in place, his brain crashed for a full ten-odd seconds.

He slowly lowered his head, looked at his hands, and then felt the Spiritual Qi within his body, which was several times stronger than before.

What happened?

I didn’t do anything?

I just sat here flipping through a book, and how did I break through two Ranks as if I was riding a rocket?

The next second, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning.

He suddenly realized.

It was Lin Xiyue!

It was definitely Lin Xiyue!

“Holy crap! Is this girl a monster?”

“How much time has passed? At most a few hours on Blue Star, right?”

“She comprehended a Profound Rank Medium Grade Cultivation Technique? And even Cultivated it successfully?”

Lin Mo’s expression became incredibly complex.

While he was still doubting life over the heavenly script, his Younger Sister had already achieved light-speed getting Started and was frantically boosting his cultivation!

Why was the difference between people so vast!
