Evil Immortal!

Shen Chong couldn't stay in the library for long, so he said a few words to Meng Yuan and left directly.

The library has five floors. The cultivation methods on the first and second floors are relatively ordinary, but they are all rare cultivation methods that are hard to find outside. Ordinary demon-suppressing guards, demon-suppressing flag officers, and demon-suppressing captains can come here to choose.

The third to fifth floors contain even more profound and mysterious cultivation methods, which are only accessible to those with more than one hundred households.

Meng Yuan did not stay on the first floor, but went directly to the second floor.

His goal was always clear: he knew that the "Ziyang True Explanation" was on the second floor, so he didn't bother wasting time on the first floor.

Upon reaching the second floor, Meng Yuan pretended to browse around and discovered that the collection there was indeed quite extensive.

It has almost everything except for demonic methods, including martial arts, immortality, Buddhism, and even unorthodox methods like Gu poison. There are also secondary professions such as alchemy, weapon crafting, formation, talisman making, spiritual plants, and spiritual cooking.

Meng Yuan was somewhat envious, but also somewhat helpless.

If he could choose more of these cultivation techniques and Taoist books (skill books), he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble planning. Unfortunately, these cultivation techniques and Taoist books are all restricted, so he can only choose one at most.

Meng Yuan stopped thinking about it and went to a corner.

This is the area for cultivation techniques within the immortal cultivation system, filled with bookshelves containing various types of books, including yellowed paper books, cloth and silk scrolls, as well as jade slips and bamboo slips.

Some are Taoist manuals for mage practitioners who cultivate Qi and form the Golden Core, some are sword-wielding techniques for sword immortals, some are the inheritances of feng shui masters who survey geography, and some are even the ancient inheritances of Qi cultivators.

Following his memory, Meng Yuan pushed aside a few books on the bottom shelf of the innermost bookshelf and found a scroll made of animal skin.

This is a somewhat damaged animal skin scroll, which looks as thin as a cicada's wing, but is soft and tough, with a mysterious dark gold color and some natural patterns that are faintly visible. It is unknown what kind of strange beast the skin is made of.

When unfolded, it is more than two feet long and half a foot wide. At first, it is covered with lines of fine, obscure, and profound characters.

And a series of detailed and vivid visualizations.

However, most of the content above seems to be shrouded in a fog, making it impossible to see clearly, because it has been subject to a restriction.

On the surface of the animal hide scroll are a few small characters, their sharpness restrained yet their elegance flowing like that of immortals—"The True Explanation of Ziyang"!

"It was here after all!"

Meng Yuan's eyes lit up.

This scroll, "The True Explanation of Ziyang," was a very precious hidden opportunity in version 1.0 of the game!

In a previous life, it was accidentally obtained by a player named "Master of the Moon Worship Cult," who later used it to ascend to the throne of a top-tier player. Ultimately, this player even became one of the very few top players in the game "Evil Immortal" who advanced to the Primordial Spirit True Immortal realm!

On the bookshelf, there was a label that briefly introduced the book, "Ziyang Zhenjie".

The gist is that this Taoist book is a rare, pure Yang attribute book, incredibly profound, but its origin is unknown and it is incomplete. The complete book has thirteen levels, directly leading to the Yang Spirit realm, but this version only contains the first nine levels, stopping at the Golden Core realm.

Furthermore, according to the calculations of the experts within the Demon Suppression Division, the missing parts of this Taoist book have been lost, which greatly reduces its value.

If this were the only reason, given the quality of "Ziyang Zhenjie", it would still qualify to be placed on the fourth and fifth floors of the library.

However, this Taoist book has a few flaws that are not really flaws.

This skill has extremely high requirements for the practitioner's aptitude and talent. Those with slightly inferior aptitude may not be able to even get started after more than ten years of practice!

Moreover, while this skill is indeed exquisite, it relies heavily on accumulation. The magical power cultivated is known for its purity and strength. Therefore, even if one's talent meets the requirements of this Taoist book, progress will inevitably be slow during the cultivation process... Perhaps three years of cultivation cannot match the achievements of others in one year!

For various reasons, "Ziyang Zhenjie" was no longer valued and was placed on the second floor of the library.

However... Meng Yuan naturally wouldn't care about the slow progress. As long as he had enough experience, he wouldn't care even about legendary immortal scriptures.

Moreover, he knew exactly where the missing parts of this "Ziyang True Explanation" were, but they had not yet been released and would only appear in game version 2.0.

Even after Meng Yuan cultivates to the Yangshen realm, a follow-up Daoist book will appear, and it will be the kind that directly points to the Yuanshen True Immortal!

This opportunity originally belonged to the player "Moon Worship Cult Leader," but since Meng Yuan found out about it, he naturally wouldn't be polite.

Meng Yuantai clearly understood the benefits of cultivating a profound martial arts manual in the early stages of the game!

Not only will they have a much higher starting point than other players, but the profound Taoist books often contain various powerful spells and supernatural abilities, which will give them a great advantage when fighting against others!

The key is that if players can cultivate advanced techniques and Taoist scriptures from the beginning, they can lay a solid foundation, and their future prospects will only be brighter!

Meng Yuan suffered from not understanding this principle back then. In the later stages of the game, due to insufficient foundation, he encountered bottlenecks several times, and his cultivation stagnated. He tried all sorts of methods to barely make up for it.

However, profound cultivation techniques and Taoist scriptures are often monopolized by major forces such as immortal sects and aristocratic families, making them difficult for players to obtain. The only way to acquire them is to join a prestigious sect and become an apprentice of a powerful immortal.

Meng Yuan took the animal skin scroll to the first floor, found the one-eyed old man guarding the door, and cupped his hands in greeting: "Please trouble you, senior, to help me remove the restrictions on it."

The old man glanced at him, then took the scroll, casually ran his hand through it, and a flash of light appeared on it. His voice was hoarse: "Take this, but return it within three days, and do not divulge it to anyone else. Otherwise, you will be severely punished and executed!"

"Thank you, senior."

Meng Yuan nodded as he accepted the animal hide, bowed, and then left the library.

Arriving at a secluded place, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

The job change skill book I've been longing for is finally in my hands.

Without hesitation, Meng Yuan opened the book and read it from beginning to end.

[Detected a fragmentary version of the legendary Taoist text "Ziyang Zhenjie". Do you wish to study it?]

......

Just as people are divided into different classes, the cultivation methods and Taoist books of different cultivation systems also have their own merits and demerits.

From lowest to highest, they are divided into lower-grade, middle-grade, upper-grade, top-grade, heirloom-grade, classic-grade, and the legendary immortal-grade Taoist book!

"The True Explanation of Ziyang" is a world-class Taoist book. Although it is incomplete, it is enough to make Meng Yuan surpass the vast majority of cultivators in the world.

"yes!"

With Meng Yuan's agreement, a surge of information rushed into his mind.

The contents of "Ziyang Zhenjie" were imprinted in Meng Yuan's mind from beginning to end, word for word, and he could not forget them.
