Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 111 Five Thunder Methods
After exchanging a few polite words, he headed towards the stairs to the second floor.

"Huh? Li Yunjing? What are you doing on the second floor?"

They had only gone halfway up the stairs when they saw two inner disciples blocking their way.

"Hehe! Senior brothers, please take a look!"

Li Yunjing recognized the two men; they were the security personnel on the second floor.

We see each other all the time and have a lot of contact on a daily basis.

However, personal connections no longer mattered at this point; to go up to the second floor, one had to strictly abide by the rules of the Sutra Repository.

Therefore, Li Yunjing didn't waste any words and directly handed over the letter of recommendation given to him by the old man.

"Hmm! A letter of recommendation?"

Upon receiving the letter, an inner disciple verified its authenticity, and his expression changed drastically.

This is a recommendation from a very important person!

Ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm deacons are simply not qualified!

Li Yunjing, without making a sound, has managed to create such a big fuss?

To be honest, the way the two inner disciples looked at Li Yunjing changed, and they seemed to feel a little awe.

This person has extraordinary connections and influence!
They are not to be trifled with!
“Brother Li, come with me. I’ll personally take you inside to complete the formalities.”

The inner disciple who received Li Yunjing's letter revealed a fawning smile, turned around, and gestured for Li Yunjing to follow him upstairs.

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Li Yunjing nodded and smiled in response, then followed the man up the stairs.

The stairs leading from the first to the second floor of the library are high and wide.

There are enough steps for seven or eight people to walk side by side, and there are a total of 365 steps.

Each step was constructed using high-grade wood-type spiritual materials.

This is not extravagance, but rather something of great use; the steps contain powerful restrictions.

If an enemy comes uninvited, they will be killed by the restriction!

Upon reaching the top of the stairs, Li Yunjing discovered that the door to the second floor was not an ordinary door.

Instead, it was a light curtain with blue ripples, like flowing water.

"Teleportation array?"

Li Yunjing was taken aback, looked at the senior brother, and asked curiously, "What's this?"

"Hehe! Let's go! The second floor of the 'Scripture Pavilion' is different from the first floor. You'll see when you come in with me."

The inner sect senior brother smiled mysteriously, gestured with his hand, and led Li Yunjing into the light curtain.

A cool sensation flashed by, and in the next instant, Li Yunjing's vision blurred, and he and his inner sect senior brother had entered a new space.

This place is indeed different from what my senior brother described.

It's no longer a single-story library.

Instead, they are individual stone houses, row upon row, totaling nine hundred.

"Junior Brother Li, come with me to complete the formalities and pay the fees."

Seeing Li Yunjing's curiosity, the inner sect senior brother smiled and gestured for him to follow him.

Near the entrance to the second floor, there is an office area for the disciples on duty.

With the help of this senior student, Li Yunjing quickly obtained a one-day study qualification.

After the handover was completed, the inner disciple greeted Li Yunjing, left the second floor, and returned to the stairwell to continue his duty.

"Senior sister, how do I borrow books?"

Looking at the stone houses, Li Yunjing was a little confused about the rules, so he asked the inner sect female disciple who was handling his paperwork.

"It's very simple! There are two options! The first is to borrow it and take it with you. Depending on the quality of the book, you'll need to pay 300-9000 spirit stones!"

The female disciple's words sent a chill down Li Yunjing's spine.

Cruel enough!

The most expensive book on the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion costs 9000 spirit stones to borrow once!

Isn't this going to kill me?
One book is worth half a "Foundation Building Pill"!

This price is really expensive!
The female disciple smiled and said, "There is a second way, which is to rent a stone house here. The daily usage fee for a stone house is 1000 spirit stones, and you can borrow all books that are not for Foundation Establishment stage!"

"Of course, you only have one day, so I think it would be more suitable for you to rent a stone house."

Finally, the female disciple added.

"Alright! Here's 1000 spirit stones!"

Li Yunjing had no choice but to hand over 1000 spirit stones.

“Very good! Junior Brother Li, go to stone house number 378. You can come out at this time tomorrow.”

The inner sect female disciple accepted the spirit stones, handed Li Yunjing a token, and said, "This is the key to the stone house. As for the books, you can choose them yourself inside the stone house."

"Uh! Okay..."

Li Yunjing was still a bit confused, but since the other party clearly didn't want to explain, he could only search for his own stone house here.

The layout of the second floor is clear, with rows of stone houses arranged neatly.

Soon, Li Yunjing found the stone house number 378 by using the number.

He placed his key in a recessed part of the stone door. The key and the recessed part fit perfectly, and with a few creaking sounds, the stone door slowly opened.

Li Yunjing took down the sign before going inside.

This stone house is not big, only about ten square meters.

The stone house was simply furnished with only a table and a chair, and on the wall opposite the chair was a light screen. Seeing this, Li Yunjing couldn't help but marvel.

This thing seems pretty advanced. On the light screen, a book list is displayed in different categories, including magic, alchemy, array formation, weapon crafting, and more.

Li Yunjing tried it out and was able to communicate with the light screen using his divine sense and open the options.

After Li Yunjing inputted his mental energy into the spell section.

Instantly, the content on the light screen changed, displaying various spell systems such as metal, fire, and wood spells, including the lightning spells that Li Yunjing had been longing for.

"This thing seems to have a technological feel to it!"

Li Yunjing clicked his tongue in amazement, and without any hesitation, he chose lightning magic as his first choice.

A string of lightning magic names appeared...

"Good heavens! There are so many, more than 100 kinds of lightning techniques!"

Li Yunjing glanced at it, weighed it over, and finally chose the "Five Thunder Orthodox Method".

He remembered that Xu Xun's thunder magic that defeated Si Hezhong was the "Five Thunder Orthodox Method".

Once I've mastered the Five Thunder Orthodox Method, I'll show you how I can dazzle Xu Xun's eyes!
Li Yunjing used his mind to communicate with the light screen and selected the book.

The light screen flashed, and suddenly, a book flew out from the screen and slowly landed on the table.

"Good heavens! It's automated teleportation! How many complex teleportation arrays are designed inside?"

Time was of the essence. After his initial amazement, Li Yunjing didn't dare to waste any more time. He sat down immediately and began to read "The Five Thunder Orthodox Method".

The Five Thunder Method is profound and extensive; it is not merely an ordinary thunder magic.

As Li Yunjing flipped through the book, he discovered that it was a supreme thunder technique that combined the power of the five elements.

When it reaches its full potential, it can unleash "Yi Wood Divine Thunder", "Bing Fire Divine Thunder", "Wu Earth Divine Thunder", "Geng Metal Divine Thunder", and "Gui Water Divine Thunder".

Each type of thunder is the ultimate expression of the power of the five elements.

Only when something is truly perfect can its strongest power be unleashed.

According to legend, if one cultivates such lightning magic to its fullest potential, even a celestial being descending to earth would be struck dead by it.

Xu Xun, the prodigy of the "Hall of Enforcement," has only scratched the surface of his cultivation.

Forget about achieving great success, I haven't even achieved minor success yet. I've only just begun to understand the basics and entered the field.

As soon as Li Yunjing opened the book, he was immediately captivated by its profound and extensive content.

"Good! Good! Good!"

While reading and combining his understanding of thunder magic, Li Yunjing became completely immersed in cultivation.

This book, "The Five Thunder Orthodox Method," is profound and complex. The first volume alone is more complicated than any spell or minor supernatural power that Li Yunjing has ever learned combined.

Li Yunjing originally thought that he was exceptionally energetic and could read ten books in a single day, making a fortune.

But when he actually started learning the Five Thunder Orthodox Method, he realized how terribly wrong he had been.

This thing isn't so easy to learn.

How to transform thunder magic with the power of the five elements, how to stimulate and guide thunder power, and how to cultivate thunder within the body—these things are all too complicated.

With the slightest carelessness, not only could you not attack others, but you yourself would probably be blown to bits.

Thunder magic is extremely powerful and is the strongest divine power to deal with evil spirits and heretics. The difficulty of cultivating it made Li Yunjing frown countless times.

Even with his level of understanding and talent, he needed to read carefully, ponder repeatedly, deduce constantly, and try many times before he could gain even a little bit of insight.

This was because Li Yunjing was compatible with thunder magic, possessed a high-grade thunder spiritual root, and was self-taught, having learned some thunder magic, which enabled him to understand the records above.

If it were an ordinary inner disciple, there would be no way they could even begin to cultivate!
Even some true disciples who are not at the Foundation Establishment stage are not capable of cultivating this "Five Thunder Orthodox Method".

Li Yunjing's choice of the "Five Thunder Orthodox Method" truly exceeded the purple-robed elder's expectations.

Li Yunjing is good at disguising himself and hiding his talents.

In the eyes of the purple-robed elder, Li Yunjing was just a normal person with the five elements spiritual root.

For this reason, the purple-robed elder carefully selected some Five Elements-based spells for Li Yunjing.

The purpose was to allow Li Yunjing to lay a solid foundation in advance so that he could make full use of this opportunity to borrow advanced Five Elements Minor Divine Powers and improve his strength.

The purple-robed elder would never have imagined that Li Yunjing would dare to attempt the "Five Thunder Orthodox Method".

If he finds out, he will definitely be shocked again.

Within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," Xu Xun was able to cultivate the "Five Thunder Orthodox Method" at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Realm, making him the strongest prodigy in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" in the last three thousand years.

He was the first person to be able to perform the Five Thunder Orthodox Method at the Qi Refining stage.

This book, "The Five Thunder Orthodox Method," has its first volume placed on the second floor of the Sutra Repository.

The purpose was simply to broaden the horizons of the inner disciples and true disciples.

He was by no means a great figure in the sect, but he hoped that his disciples could learn this supreme scripture.

Even the most important people don't have this expectation!
Li Yunjing's ability to comprehend the "Five Thunder Orthodox Method" at the sixth level of Qi Refining is comparable to that of a top-grade thunder spirit root ancestor of the sect ten thousand years ago.

That ancestor with the Thunder Spirit Root was practically invincible throughout an era.

It is a source of pride for the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" that is remembered by countless cultivators throughout its history.

Now, how similar is Li Yunjing's choice to that of that patriarch?
……

Meanwhile, on the fifth floor of the "Scripture Pavilion," two elderly men sat in the tea room, one of whom was the purple-robed old man that Li Yunjing was familiar with.

"Hehe! Senior Brother Sun, I really didn't expect that one day you would actually come to me for help."

The old Taoist priest, dressed in a black robe, with a ruddy complexion, looked at the old man in purple robes with a smile.

"Hehe! Junior Brother Liu, there's no other way! I finally found a promising talent, and I naturally can't bear to see him waste his youth on trivial matters."

The purple-robed Taoist chuckled softly, seemingly somewhat saddened.
