Immortality: Starting with Plundering the Talents of Monsters

Inside the Luo family's library.

It has an antique feel and a very spacious feel.

The enormous luminous pearls embedded in the dome cast a soft glow.

In the center of the rustic wooden floor, there is a large incense burner.

Above it, sticks of incense for calming the mind were inserted, constantly emitting white smoke.

"These concentration incense sticks... are probably meant to help the Luo family members concentrate better when they come to look up books."

Xu Mo looked at the huge incense burner and felt it was a bit of a waste.

"Although the Concentration Incense is not valuable, not many people usually come to this library."

Even if they come, they only stay for a short while before leaving.

"All I can say is that the Luo family is incredibly wealthy; after all, they have a lot of money to burn."

Xu Mo silently complained to himself for a few minutes before starting his search.

He first strolled around the first floor of the library.

But soon, Xu Mo discovered that the books on this floor were for cultivators in the early stages of Qi Refining.

However, this approach was not applicable to him, a cultivator at the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

"Go up to the second floor."

Immediately, Xu Mo stopped lingering and went up to the second floor of the library.

The rows of bookshelves on the second floor are the same as those on the first floor.

Everything was neat and orderly, and each bookshelf contained the same type of cultivation techniques or spells.

However, unlike other cultivation families, the Luo family does not specialize in only one attribute.

Therefore, the collection in the library is diverse and varied.

For the time being, Xu Mo had not yet found any sword techniques.

"It's not allowed to release one's divine sense inside the library... This has greatly slowed down my search."

Xu Mo's eyes quickly scanned the rows of bookshelves until he saw the bookshelf labeled "Sword Techniques".

Just stopped.

  

"Finally found a sword technique or similar magic... but it must be of the metal element."

He walked in and examined each sword technique with his naked eye.

"Azure Water Ripples Sword", "Azure Wood Everlasting Spring Sword Technique", "Mountain Suppressing Sword Technique", "Heaven-Burning Fire Sword Technique", "Water Flowing River Sword Technique"...

Gengjin Sword Technique

"Found it."

Xu Mo's gaze searched continuously, and in no time he finally spotted the metal-attribute sword technique.

He first picked up the book "Gengjin Sword Technique", flipped through a few pages at random, and then put it back on the bookshelf.

"Just looking at the name of this spell, I felt it wasn't good enough... and sure enough, it was indeed a bit weak."

The Luo family doesn't possess many sword techniques that utilize metal elements.

Xu Mo counted carefully and found that there were less than ten books.

The reason is simple: swordsmanship is an extremely powerful means of killing.

Jin Fa was also extremely skilled in killing.

therefore.

In the world of cultivation, all cultivation families and sects are on high alert against sword techniques that are associated with the metal element.

To prevent leaks and avoid future threats to their own property.

For the Luo family, a family that doesn't primarily specialize in metal-based sword techniques, having even a few of these books is quite remarkable.

"That's fine, at least I don't have to struggle with it so much, making it easier for me to choose."

Xu Mo shifted his gaze to the other metal-attribute sword techniques.

To avoid being looked down upon because of his name, he carefully flipped through each page to read the contents.

If it didn't seem right, I put it back on the bookshelf.

"The sword is sheathed, the spirit is contained, ready to be unleashed..."

Xu Mo picked up a copy of "Gengting Shuyang Sword Technique" and began to read it carefully.

Upon opening the book, I was immediately drawn to the text of the first chapter.

"When the sword is sheathed, it gathers sword energy. When the sword is drawn from the sheath, it pours out."

The more Xu Mo read, the more moved he became.

"Indeed, this sword technique is well-developed and suits my style."

"You're the one."

Xu Mo took the book "Gengting Shuyang Sword Technique" downstairs and stood at the spot where the voice had come from.

He bowed respectfully and said:

"Butler, I have made my selection. Please make a larger copy for me."

No matter which sect or family you belong to, or what your status is.

It's impossible for them to give you the original cultivation methods and techniques.

"You're a metal-elemental swordsman?"

The steward guarding the library appeared in front of Xu Mo in a flash.

He took the spell from Xu Mo's hand and praised it:

"Indeed, all sword cultivators possess exceptional comprehension... My Luo family has gained another promising talent."

Xu Mo humbly retorted:

"You misunderstand, Steward. I am not a sword cultivator, but merely a talisman master hired by the Luo family."

"A talisman master? Besides making talismans, he also has to practice swordsmanship... That's quite similar to that girl Luo Lingyue."

Xu Mo remained noncommittal, quietly waiting for the steward to make the rubbing.

"This sword technique is extraordinary, a top-tier masterpiece among its kind... Requires fifty contribution points."

Have you thought this through?

The librarian took out a jade slip and asked Xu Mo a question.

"I've decided, this is the one."

Xu Mo nodded calmly, secretly relieved.

Fortunately, he killed a few more golden lizards while cleaning up the area yesterday.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to take this "Gengting Shuyang Sword Technique" with us today.

"Give me your identity token; I need to deduct your contribution points first."

The identity token was handed over, and after the steward performed some actions, it was returned.

"Alright, here you go."

Soon, the sword technique was copied onto the jade slip.

Xu Mo took it, put it in his storage bag, and left the library.

……

……

To master swordsmanship, one naturally needs to buy a good sword.

Xu Mo first went to the Treasure Pavilion in Liuyun Market.

Although the Treasure Pavilion is located within the Zhou family's Liuyun Market, it is not a property of the Zhou family.

Even if you purchase ritual implements here, there is a possibility that the information will be leaked.

But at least there is some guarantee.

Moreover, with the identity of the Luo family's talisman-making guest elder, Xu Mo is not afraid of the Zhou family making things difficult for him.

He then entered the Treasure Pavilion and purchased Buddhist artifacts.

This time, Xu Mo's identity has changed again, and his status has naturally risen accordingly.

The manager of Zhenbaolou gave them an even warmer welcome.

Soon, Xu Mo found a mid-grade first-tier longsword that he liked.

then.

Xu Mo spent fifty low-grade spirit stones to purchase this first-tier mid-grade Gengjin Cold Iron sword.

After obtaining the sword, he did not linger and returned to his cave.

In the front courtyard of the Luo family, inside a secluded cave.

Xu Mo stroked the blade of the Gengjin Cold Iron Sword with satisfaction, while the "Gengting Shuyang Sword Technique" was placed on the stone table.

A cold iron sword made of Geng metal.

It was a first-tier mid-grade magic weapon that he selected after a period of selection, suitable for metal-type sword techniques.

Now, Xu Mo has completed all the preliminary work, and all that remains is to prepare before the beast tide arrives a year later.

Just prepare properly.

"Before the beast tide arrives, we need to learn how to use the Wind Speed ​​Talisman."

Who knows, we might even make a fortune during the beast tide.

"Next, we need to improve our skill in drawing mid-grade first-tier golden light talismans, and try to consistently draw high-quality talismans."

"Swordsmanship and cultivation level must not lag behind either."

Xu Mo pondered to himself, making plans for the future.

A beast tide is extremely dangerous for a cultivator in the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

We must make thorough preparations.

If things go wrong, the Luo family will be unable to withstand it.

He would flee immediately to save himself.
