Chapter 20.1: Fellow Disciples, Would I Lie to You?
“Blue?”
Li Xun’s eyebrow twitched slightly, revealing a hint of surprise and joy deep in his eyes.
The system had just mentioned that he could obtain a flying magical treasure— and a spiritual treasure at that, which was incredibly valuable!
It’s well known that, in the cultivation world, among treasures of the same level, the most expensive are often those with special functions, especially flying treasures.
These treasures generally combine multiple functions, such as flying, defense, gathering spiritual energy, and even storage space!
After all, if they didn’t have these functions, one could just directly fly on a sword.
Why spend such a fortune on a flying treasure?
In terms of value alone, a lower-grade flying spiritual treasure like the “Royal Spirit Boat” was nearly on par with a mid-grade attacking spiritual treasure!
“Where is she?”
Retracting his steps, Li Xun scanned the entire fifth floor of the Scripture Pavilion.
Soon, he spotted a young woman dressed in the attire of an inner disciple, slowly ascending from the fourth floor.
She was enveloped in a blue light, though it was slightly dimmer than what Li Xun had seen on Ye Han earlier.
The young woman didn’t notice Li Xun.
She walked straight to a bookshelf, standing there with her back to him, raising her head to examine the techniques displayed.
“Which one should I choose?”
The girl frowned, somewhat hesitant.
She had been an inner disciple for some time now, but after switching to a new cultivation technique, her progress had been unsatisfactory.
By now, she should have been at least at the mid or late stage of the Spirit Meridian Realm.
However, nearly a year had passed since she switched to an inner sect technique, and she was still stuck at the initial stage of the Spirit Meridian Realm.
This speed was somewhat unworthy of her former title as a genius.
“When I first entered Profound Sun Sect, I was clearly suited for water-based techniques. So why is it that now, despite cultivating the ‘Gentle Water Technique,’ I’m not seeing any results?”
The girl couldn’t figure it out.
She reached out and picked up a book titled “Ice Origin Manual,” a lower-grade Xuan technique.
However, it was a branch of the water attribute, and mastering it would allow one to freeze an area for miles.
“Is it an ice attribute technique?”
She bit her lip, holding the “Ice Origin Manual” in one hand, and her identity jade token in the other, unsure of what to do.
Her jade token stored the contribution points she had accumulated over the past year from completing sect tasks.
These points were just enough to exchange for one technique.
If she made another wrong choice this time, she would have to waste another year.
At the early stages of cultivation, a year was too long, and she would be surpassed by countless others.
Just as she was wavering, a cultivation technique was suddenly handed to her.
“Junior Sister, why not try this one?” At the same time, a clear and gentle voice reached the girl’s ears.
“Hmm?”
“The Yi Wood Clear Water technique?”
The girl first glanced at the name of the technique and then turned to see a handsome face with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, a slight smile on his lips.
“Senior Brother, who are you…?”
Her large eyes sparkled like the stars in the sky as she blinked, a trace of confusion deep in her eyes.
She was certain she had never met this Senior Brother before.
“My name is Li Xun.”
Li Xun smiled and continued, “I noticed that Junior Sister seemed to have some difficulty choosing a technique, and as it happens, I have some understanding of eye techniques.”
“I could see that Junior Sister might be better suited for cultivating this Yi Wood Clear Water technique.”
“So I came over to recommend it to you, to save you from wasting an opportunity.”
“Is that so?”
The girl tilted her head, a hint of caution in her eyes.
After all, a Senior Brother she didn’t know suddenly approached and recommended a technique to her.
Anyone would be suspicious.
“Senior Brother, what eye technique have you cultivated?”
“Uh…”
Li Xun’s face stiffened slightly.
He hadn’t expected this Junior Sister to be even harder to fool than Shen Yuluan.
He made up his mind to find a way to learn an eye technique after today.
Otherwise, if he kept using this excuse in the future, someone might catch on.
