Slime Immortal.

Chapter 38 I’m Afraid You’ll Run Away
In the outer gate of Sanyuan Sect, there is a mirror-like lake surrounded by mountains. Chongshan Hall is located in the center of the lake. It is the main place for outer disciples to handle daily affairs and wait for dispatches.

Passing through an inconspicuous small door on the side of the main hall and walking a short distance along a dimly lit corridor, you will reach the library of Chongshan Hall.

The library is not big and the furnishings are simple.

Several rows of tall wooden shelves almost reached the ceiling, densely packed with books and scrolls. The air was filled with the mixed smell of old paper and wood, which was a bit dull.

There were several long wooden tables and benches against the wall for people to read and copy. As soon as Chen Yu came in, he saw many disciples concentrating on copying something with their imperial pens.

Most of the books here are old, with yellowed pages and curled edges. They mostly record basic cultivation methods, sect rules, geography of mountains and rivers, and illustrations of some common plants and minerals.

There are also precious martial arts books that can only be exchanged for Taoist scrolls.

Chen Yu searched his whole body but couldn't find a single scroll, so they were naturally not his target.

The cultivation volume in Sanyuan Sect is a lot, but there are also many benefits.

After a disciple has mastered the basic technique "Kaiyuan Baojuan" to the maximum level, or has advanced to the middle stage of Qi training, he can go to the library to receive advanced training techniques for free.

Compared to the Kaiyuanbaojuan which only lays the foundation, the advanced exercises are much more advanced and initially involve complex principles such as the five elements.

So now comes the problem.

He only knew that advanced skills could be obtained in the library, and no one told him how to obtain them.

Just when he was feeling worried, an old man came leisurely into the pavilion, looked up at him, and waved his whisk to drive him away.

"Go away, this is a quiet place for studying, why are you standing there like an idiot?"

"I'm here to receive the sect's advanced skills."

The old man with long eyebrows looked at him again, reached out to feel his pulse, and narrowed his eyes.

"Hmm... The spiritual energy is abundant, and the purity is indeed that of a mid-stage cultivator."

"Just follow me."

The old man walked to the depths of the library and waved his whisk, causing the martial arts books on the tall bookshelf to tremble and fall.

He put on his reading glasses and picked up the account book to register.

"name."

"Chen Yu."

"Where do you live?"

"A bamboo forest."

"Hmm... I joined the sect four years ago, and to have made such progress in my cultivation, I think I must have put in a lot of effort."

Indeed, he put a lot of effort into eating.

I just don’t know if eating diligently counts as practicing seriously.

"Before coming here, you can learn how to choose advanced skills."

"Have……"

"Don't rush to answer. I will explain it to you slowly."

The old man muttered, "In the past, many disciples who chose the wrong technique blamed me. This time, I'll explain it clearly to you. Don't come to me if you regret it in the future."

"it is good."

According to Chen Yu's understanding, choosing a martial arts method is similar to choosing a major. No matter what major you choose, someone will regret it in the end.

Either there is something wrong with the technique or there is something wrong with the master. It cannot be my own problem.

Of course, there are also fools who choose the wrong method in a fit of rage, and unlucky people who don’t understand the channels.

The water here is actually quite deep.

"Cough cough..."

The old man cleared his throat.

"Listen carefully, boy. I will tell you the difference between the basic and advanced techniques."

"The 'Kaiyuan Treasure Scroll' you're practicing is the most basic skill in the sect. It's used to nourish your meridians, expand your dantian, and build a solid foundation." "The benefit is that it's balanced and impartial."

"As for advanced techniques..." The old man smacked his lips, as if remembering something troublesome, "they are quite varied."

"Based on the Five Elements, there are the basic Qingmu Changchun Gong, Xuanshui Zhenfa, Lihuo Xinjing, and Houtu Zaiwu Jing..."

"There are also more complex dual-attribute techniques: Geng Metal Bing Fire Technique, Yi Wood Gui Water Sutra, Wu Earth Li Fire Technique... There are so many names."

"Single-attribute techniques are easy to learn but difficult to master, while dual-attribute techniques are difficult to learn but easy to master. Which one to choose is up to you, considering your ability and patience."

"I'm telling you this beforehand..."

"If you choose the right one, that's your ability. If you choose the wrong one... that's your own fault. Don't come back crying and bothering me. My old bones can't stand it."

"I want the Nine-Pit Palace Life Technique."

Xu Xuantian has no spiritual roots, or it should be said that the spiritual roots here are different from what he imagined.

The theory of cultivating immortals believes that every cultivator has all five elements in his body, that is, they all have the five elements spiritual roots.

It’s just that these five elements of spiritual roots are like five wooden sticks, some are long and some are short.

For example, those who have water spiritual roots are gifted in the way of water.

Chen Yu's five elements spiritual roots are all the same length, in other words, they are all the same short. He can choose any attribute of the skills, it all depends on his preference.

Then he would naturally choose the earth and wood dual-attribute technique that was more suitable for him - "Nine-layer Palace Creation Technique".

The old man raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

"Boy, have you thought it through? The market for civil engineering has not been very good in the past few decades. Shengkang has been peaceful for a hundred years. There have been no wars and no territorial expansion. Civil engineering practitioners can only do some repair work, and the conditions are difficult."

"Many of your brothers were building a spiritual vein mine on White Bone Mountain. Because the conditions were too harsh and there were frequent monster intrusions, three of them ran away last year."

"I figured it out."

"you……"

The old man swung the whisk in his arms, shook his head and sighed.

"Well, since you look kind, I'll show you a way. Since your five elements are balanced, why don't you choose to practice the fire element technique and go to Black Mountain Valley to guard monsters for twenty years. If you perform well, it's not impossible to transfer you back to Chongshan Palace to guard the gate."

"Uh……"

It takes twenty years of experience to be a gatekeeper. This Sanyuan Sect is simply too arrogant.

"What, you're not satisfied?"

"Let me think about it. The Ten Thousand Poisons Cave is in need of an inspector to guard the entrance and monitor the movements of the monsters. The cave is indeed quite dangerous. If you happen to have some talent in alchemy, and you hone your skills for a few years and become familiar with poisons, perhaps you could be transferred back to the Alchemy Hall and become Elder Lin's disciple."

"..."

"Don't worry, Elder. I won't just run away with the bucket."

He practiced the Nine-Level Palace Life Technique without any intention of finding a job, so it was impossible for him to run away.

He also has his own work to do, and the construction in Ziarella should be considered a big project.

It's just construction for his own swamp territory.

"Since you have awakened, I will not try to dissuade you. However, this technique is only the foundation. To truly realize its effect, you need the Dao method."

"Boy, you should prepare your Dao scrolls. Dao magic is not free."

"No."

Chen Yu answered very straightforwardly because he was very confident - he was very sure that he didn't have a single Dao ticket.

The old man quickly glanced in the direction of the door and lowered his voice.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have it. I can exchange these ninety-five broken souls for a Taoist scroll. If you miss this opportunity, you'll miss this shop."

"Elder, do you also take private jobs?"

"What kind of private work is this? It's reasonable for a retired old man like me to earn some spirit stones."
