My Fairy Raising Game

As soon as Shen Yu stepped into the library, he saw a disheveled white-haired old man sitting by the door, checking the identity tokens of each disciple one by one.

"Hey kid, stop right there! You've got some nerve..."

Seeing Shen Yu bypass the checkpoint and head straight inside, the white-haired old man glared, about to question him, but then noticed the purple rune mark on the back of Shen Yu's hand, and impatiently waved his hand away:

"So you're a person with connections... Alright, you can only use this to go to the first and second floors, and you can only choose one Taoist book. It's best not to spend more than half an hour on it."

The white-haired old man looked ordinary, but the person guarding this place was certainly no simple character. Shen Yu sensed something and felt that the aura emanating from the other party was as deep as the sea. He felt a chill in his heart and respectfully said, "Yes, thank you, senior."

So, under the envious and jealous gazes of some disciples, Shen Yu walked inside.

The library has six floors. Under normal circumstances, outer disciples can only enter the first floor and have only one chance to choose a Dao technique.

The second level houses Taoist scriptures of a higher rank and more profound and mysterious nature, but only inner disciples are qualified to enter.

However, because of his aunt Yang Lan's influence, Shen Yu was able to enjoy certain privileges.

Time was a bit tight, so after briefly examining the first floor and confirming that the sword techniques and skills there were rather shallow and lacked any profound ones, Shen Yu went straight to the second floor.

Compared to the slightly messy first floor, the second floor of the library is much more organized, divided into areas for categories such as alchemy, artifacts, formations, talismans, swords, and magic. For example, alchemy and artifacts refer to the classics and traditions related to alchemy and artifact crafting.

Shen Yu had a clear goal and headed straight for the "Sword" section, which was related to Kendo.

Soon, Shen Yu arrived in front of several tall bookshelves.

The bookshelves were mostly filled with paper books, but there were also some jade slips, bamboo slips, and even some stone slabs and unknown bones, all of which were engraved with mysterious characters and runes. They were all classic texts related to swordsmanship.

Compared to other regions, there are significantly fewer Taoist scriptures and classics here.

This is because the Taoist practices of Jade Toad Palace are mainly aligned with the Great Yin Dao, and are mostly water-based and yin-attribute, rather than being a Taoist sect that primarily cultivates swordsmanship.

Shen Yu was like a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar, a little excited, and couldn't wait to start picking.

Perhaps due to his innate talent for swordsmanship, he now has a strange fondness and expectation for swordsmanship.

"Snowflake Sword Technique", "One Breath Demon-Slaying Sword Art", "True Explanation of Purple Flame Sword Technique", "Yi Wood Azure Cloud Sword Formation"...

One after another, sword techniques were presented to Shen Yu.

Although there were many sword techniques, Shen Yu would occasionally ponder or frown, somewhat dissatisfied.

"While these sword techniques and manuals may contain many excellent ones, either their attributes don't suit me, or the conditions for practicing them are rather demanding."

Shen Yu's goal was actually very simple: as long as it didn't conflict with his foundational Daoist book, "The Spirit Toad Swallows the Moon," and its grade wasn't too low, he would be satisfied.

After all, we finally had the chance to visit the library, so we couldn't let this precious opportunity go to waste.

"Take this 'Yi Wood Azure Cloud Sword Formation' for example. It's quite exquisite, a rare sword formation technique with immense power. Once mastered, it's virtually unbeatable among those of the same level, and can even take on two or three opponents at once. However, the cultivation conditions are rather demanding. Not only does it require cultivating Yi Wood attribute Dao techniques, but it also necessitates using at least three flying swords to form a Lesser Three Talents Sword Formation. That's far too extravagant..."

Shen Yu shook his head inwardly and placed the bamboo scroll on the bookshelf.

"Three flying swords? I can't afford that..."

These books were all restricted, allowing only a portion of their contents to be viewed, thus denying him any opportunity to exploit them.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Shen Yu had a thought and a subtle feeling stirred within him.

There seemed to be something in the corner of the bookshelf that held a strange attraction for him.

To be precise, it's more like his innate talent, "Innate Sword Bone," sensed something.

Shen Yu took a few steps, parted a few books, and saw a dark iron ball, about the size of a baby's fist, with nine small holes, mottled with rust, and its surface was covered with cracks, making it look inconspicuous.

However, Shen Yu could sense that within this iron ball was an extremely weak yet still incredibly sharp aura.

"Could it be... a sword pellet?"

Sword pellets are a type of sword weapon. They are not sword-shaped, but rather pill-shaped. In terms of power, they are no weaker than normal flying swords, and even have some mysterious aspects. They are one of the iconic magical artifacts of sword cultivators.

The sword pellet is now clearly damaged.

Shen Yu picked it up and felt its weight; he immediately activated a layer of restriction on it and learned the relevant information.

It turns out that this sword pellet was obtained by an elder by chance in an ancient ruin. It was left behind by an ancient sword cultivator. It looks damaged, but it still contains a sword technique inheritance called "Nine Revolutions Gengjin Sword Technique".

This sword technique is quite profound and exquisite. When mastered to its extreme, it is incomparably sharp and can break through all laws with a single sword strike. It is a method that directly leads to the realm of Yin spirit.

The key is that the cultivation method of this sword technique is somewhat special. It is both a Taoist method and a supernatural power, which is an alternative path and does not conflict with the orthodox cultivation methods.

Unfortunately, this lineage is incomplete; although it has the main cultivation methods, it lacks the part for nourishing the body.

The way of the sword emphasizes unyielding integrity, entrusting one's honor, disgrace, life, love, hate, and grudges to a single sword.

Therefore, although the Nine Revolutions Gengjin Sword Technique is too fierce in its attacks, during the cultivation process, the fierce sword energy will often damage the meridians, flesh, bones, internal organs, and dantian. Over time, this will cause irreparable damage.

Therefore, methods for nourishing the body and strengthening the foundation are of paramount importance.

But now, this method of nourishing the body and strengthening the foundation has been lost.

The elder also left a warning for the younger disciples: "This sword technique, though powerful, is easily damaged due to its incompleteness, and is not a path to immortality. Those without a strong foundation should never practice it!"

This means that this sword technique lacks methods for nourishing the body, so practicing it can easily damage one's foundation and thus cut off future prospects. However, those with exceptional talent and a strong innate foundation need not worry about this.

Shen Yu hesitated for a moment: "I have innate sword bones, and my physique is naturally suited for swordsmanship. In addition, with the solid foundation created by the Mingyu Spirit Body, there shouldn't be any problem for me to cultivate this swordsmanship, right?"

Although this sword technique was incomplete and had significant flaws, Shen Yu was indeed tempted.

After all, this sword technique is incredibly powerful, enough to be his trump card.

Once he masters it, in addition to the Ice Soul Yuan Blade, Shen Yu will have another powerful supernatural ability at his disposal, which will increase his chances of dealing with Xu Ji, who may appear soon!

Coupled with the confidence given by his innate sword bone talent, Shen Yu had no reason not to be tempted.
