My Way

Chapter 22: Treasure House of Books
three days later.

The so-called final test was passed easily by Ling Wuyuan, just as he and everyone in his class had expected.

Everything happened very naturally. All the teachers and classmates felt that Ling Wuyuan should pass the test easily. Even though he got the first place, no one felt that there was anything surprising in the development of the test. At most, they just thought that he performed well in this test.

A matter of course.

The situation can be described in this way.

What happened next was just as Ling Wuyuan had expected.

He and the other candidates who passed the test once again saw Feng Shuyun, the elder Feng in the White Crow Gang, who was in charge of the training ground.

Although they had not seen each other for some time, Ling Wuyuan did not feel any sense of aging from the other person, as if only a month or so had passed.

"Very good, you newcomers have not wasted the White Crow Gang's training in vain and have successfully passed the most basic knowledge assessment. Next, you will go to the book collection treasury to choose a low-level cultivation method for free."

"Of course, as a reward for outstanding people, according to the rules of the gang, those of you who pass the exam in the top three can also choose an additional low-grade martial arts book and an ordinary weapon."

For a while.

Everyone looked at Ling Wuyuan and the other two guys with joy and a little envy.

If practicing exercises is a way to exercise the body, then lower-grade martial arts are methods of fighting and killing. Generally speaking, one is qualified to learn only after one's strength has been cultivated to a certain level.

As for choosing an ordinary weapon, it is also a very good reward and can help everyone save some money.

However, although they were envious, everyone also understood that this was the reward that the three of them deserved.
-
A treasure trove of books.

Unlike the library where anyone can enter.

This place is located right behind the library, close to the top of Baiya Mountain. It is the most important area for the entire gang. There are always hundreds of gang members armed with various weapons and more than three elders who are responsible for patrolling and guarding.

Once any problem occurs, basically all the main gang members will arrive here as quickly as possible.

Therefore, if you want to really break in here, you basically have to kill the entire White Crow Gang.

Usually.

Only members who try to exchange merit points for cheats will come here.

As for the situation where a large group of people come together, that will only happen when the newcomers are selecting basic secrets.

At this moment.

Under the leadership of Elder Feng, Ling Wuyuan and others successfully arrived at this area which they had not been qualified to reach in the past.

Based on visual observation, he felt that the height of the treasure house of books was about thirty meters, divided into four floors, and was not very high overall.

But the outer structure of the entire treasure house is filled with various metal frames and stone materials, with basically no wood.

And there are few windows throughout the building.

Even those windows that were provided to provide basic ventilation and lighting were small and filled with iron bars.

This means that this building definitely has extraordinary defensive and fire-resistant properties, just like a fortress.

Even if it was set on purpose, I'm afraid it wouldn't burn at all.

If you want to destroy this place, the only option is to storm it.

This fully demonstrates how much importance the entire White Crow Gang attaches to this place.

Once inside.

Ling Wuyuan could immediately feel that the overall atmosphere of the entire treasure trove of books was filled with a certain gloom.

Because there are too few windows, even if there are bonfires and candles lit inside all day, the actual environment inside is still inevitably a bit dark, giving people an inexplicable sense of depression and loneliness at all times.

Then, Ling Wuyuan saw a group of people bowing to Feng Shuyun. The middle-aged woman in the lead took the initiative to greet him enthusiastically:

"Welcome, Elder Feng!"

"These people are the newcomers this time, right?"

"Just leave them to us."

"Elder Zhao is drinking tea on the second floor. You can go and play chess with him..." Feng Shuyun naturally did not refuse this arrangement.

There is nothing interesting about a newcomer choosing a technique. It is more interesting to drink tea and play chess with old friends.

"it is good."

"Then I'll leave this group of newcomers to you. I'll come down later."

After saying that, he turned around and said to Ling Wuyuan and the others, "Did you all hear it?"

"Just follow Manager Li. She will help you handle things."

Finished.

He went directly to the second floor under the guidance of two servants.

After his figure completely disappeared around the corner of the corridor, the middle-aged woman called Manager Li slowly put away the smile on her face, and said with a stern face like that of Nun Miejue:

"Let's go."

"Next, you will have two hours to choose your own introductory practice method."

"Although these are all very basic things, the introductory practice method you choose will still largely determine the general path of your future life, so you'd better choose it carefully..."

Although there was not much expression on his face, Manager Li still diligently explained various basics to the newcomers behind him.

Soon, everyone came to a room, and then saw Manager Li holding catalogs and distributing them to them.

"Come on, choose carefully."

"After you've made your selection, someone will bring out the rubbings of the secret book for you."

"You can only read those rubbings by yourselves. You cannot circulate them privately. If you are found to be circulating them privately or even spreading them to the outside world, you will be punished at best by having your hands and feet broken, or at worst, your family will be implicated."

Without paying attention to the other party's warning, Ling Wuyuan immediately began to carefully look through the martial arts catalog in his hand.

[Bull Strength], [Bone Strengthening Body Training Method], [Tiger Bone Strengthening Body Skill]...

As his eyes swept over the various skills, Ling Wuyuan discovered that although newcomers could only choose low-grade skills, in fact, everyone could also choose mid-grade skills.

However, if you choose the middle-level practice method, you will not be able to obtain the entire secret book, but only a part of it.

Moreover, middle-level cultivation methods often require the use of some relatively precious materials to assist in the practice.

For example, the middle-grade cultivation method called "Tiger Bone Strengthening Technique" clearly states in the introduction column that in order to complete the practice of this technique, the practitioner needs to consume the bones and even the flesh and blood of at least several tigers.

Even if you just want to get started, you need to use fresh tiger blood that has just been taken out and a large amount of precious medicinal materials as medicine.

Such basic conditions made Ling Wuyuan immediately say that he was too poor and could not afford to practice.

Compared to this kind of martial arts, he can't afford to practice it even if he sells all he has.

He needed a cultivation method that was more accessible to the common people.

For example, the word [Manniu Jin] sounds very popular.

As a mid-level cultivation method, its entry requirements are only cow bones, cow hides, and some not-so-precious medicinal materials.

Of course, if one wants to practice it to perfection, according to the annotations, one needs the bones and hides of at least hundreds of wild bulls, and the difficulty of practicing it is far higher than the [Tiger Bone Strengthening Technique] which is also a mid-level practice method but is actually a practice for wealthy people.

[Barbarian Bull Strength] = Common people can get started, but it is difficult to practice and the actual final cost of practicing to perfection is not much lower than [Tiger Bone Strengthening Body Skill]. Furthermore, the actual effect after practicing is probably slightly inferior to [Tiger Bone Strengthening Body Skill]. It is an ideal choice for ordinary people who refuse to accept their fate.

【Tiger Bone Strengthening Exercise】= Only rich people are eligible to get started and the difficulty of practicing is relatively ordinary. After completing the practice, the actual effect is very good among the exercises of the same level. The biggest disadvantage is that if your family has no money, you can't even get in. It is an ideal choice for rich people.

In short, both have their own advantages depending on the actual wealth possessed by the practitioner.

Comprehensive evaluation.

Poor in literature and rich in martial arts.

There is no point in practicing if you have no money.
