Novel Full Chapter 3786: Library
Chapter 3786: Library
There was nothing much to say. They definitely should go to the cultivation technique library. Jin Yexue led the way, and they chose a left turn.
They had to pass through a bamboo garden first. After so long, and furthermore, it had been buried deep at the bottom of the lake all this while, this bamboo garden was actually still verdant and dark green.
“Yi, this is Nine Patterns Bamboo!” Tang Yan exclaimed in shock, “This is something that can be forged into a Three Star precious tool!”
“This thing only grows a bit every 10,000 years, and can wait for a dead person,” he said endlessly. “Growing it for 90,000 years is the limit. There are a great many that have rotted away from old age here, and they are all bamboos that have exceeded 90,000 years old. This is really a great waste! This needs to be submerged in Boundless Water for three years first, and it would be sturdy and uncorroded, which would last a million years.”
“What a waste, what a real waste,” he lamented bitterly.
Ling Han took a look, and cut off a few Nine Patterns Bamboo that had reached maturity. He gave two to each of them, and said with a smile, “The ones planted along the path are all Nine Patterns Bamboo, used for ornamental purposes. Lady Jin, your family’s ancestors must be incomparably glorious.”
Jin Yexue nodded implicitly, “My clan does indeed have some reputation.”
“You’re making me look forward to it even more.” Tang Yan rubbed his hands together, “It can’t be a Saint Technique, right?”
“Of course not,” Jin Yexue said with a shake of her head. “The Jin Clan has never produced a Saint before. I’m sorry to disappoint you.”
“How could that be!” Tang Yan hurriedly replied. “You didn’t in the past, but you definitely will in the future.”
Jin Yexue faltered upon hearing this. Only then did she realize that he was talking about her. She couldn’t help but smile beautifully, and her ice-cold demeanor instantly disappeared. She was extremely graceful, and Tang Yan couldn’t help but stare at her.
This guy forgot his friends when he saw the woman he was in love with.
Ling Han shook his head, and walked straight ahead.
The Jin Manor was huge, and after walking for a while, they finally arrived at their destination.
Ahead of them was a small building, and in front of the small building, there was a fierce- looking stone Pixiu keeping watch.
Ling Han took out the Cold Water Metal for a look, and said, “To open the doors, the mechanism is behind that Pixiu.”
“I’ll open it.” Tang Yan hurriedly ran over.
However, he hadn’t reached it yet, when he saw that stone Pixiu actually came back to life. It opened its bloody mouth and bit at him.
There was a snapping sound, and before Tang Yan could even dodge, he had already been bitten.
The stone Pixiu swayed left and right, and after chewing a few times, it finally threw Tang Yan out. With a bang, he fell onto the ground. Meanwhile, the stone Pixiu returned to its original position, and flopped down, turning back into a stone statue.
“F***!” Tang Yan struggled to get to his feet. The rare treasure he had on him had already been activated, but it was completely useless. He had been bitten through by the stone Pixiu, but the strange thing was that he had only suffered a light injury.
Theoretically speaking, it should have been able to crush a Core Formation Tier-level shield with a single bite, so what difference did Tang Yan have with a small fish? He would have become a dead fish with a single bite.
Thus, it wasn’t that Tang Yan was lucky, but rather that the stone Pixiu had no intention of killing him.
“What do we do now?” Tang Yan was dumbfounded.
“Let’s attack together. You’re in charge of attracting its attention, and I’ll open the mechanism,” Ling Han said.
Tang Yan wore a dark expression, and he asked, “Why don’t I open the mechanism?”
“Because you’re more compatible with it,” Ling Han said with a smile.
Pei, you are the one who is compatible.
Tang Yan grumbled internally. However, his cultivation level was higher than Ling Han’s, and he also had the rare treasure to protect him. No matter what, he would be able to withstand a beating better than Ling Han. Thus, it was definitely him.
“Come!”
As he said this, he immediately charged out. The stone Pixiu also responded, and suddenly stood up.
“Come and chase me!” Tang Yan had successfully drawn its attention, and hurriedly broke into a run.
The stone Pixiu chased after him, which was slightly dumb.
Ling Han hurriedly leaped out as well, but he had just leaped out, when he saw the stone Pixiu’s body tremble, and another one actually appeared in its original position.
F***!
This stone Pixiu immediately charged out, biting towards Ling Han.
Its abilities were far too terrifying, and it was extremely likely that it had already reached the True Self Tier. So what if Ling Han was freakishly powerful? He was only at the Foundation Building Tier, after all.
He couldn’t resist at all, and he was bitten and thrashed.
When the stone Pixiu had played enough, it opened its mouth and spat. Pu, Ling Han fell onto
the ground.
How tragic.
On the other side, the one that was pursuing Tang Yan had also completed its mission. It jogged back, and then fused with the other stone Pixiu, turning back into one.
“I say, what kind of terrible idea did you come up with?” Tang Yan came back, his hands on
his hips.
Ling Han spread his hands and said, “I didn’t know that would happen either.”
Thankfully, the stone Pixiu didn’t kill them, and only bit them painfully.
“What do we do now?” Tang Yan asked gloomily.
“I’ll do it,” Jin Yexue stepped forward and said.
“You’re no match for it!” Tang Yan hurriedly exclaimed. He had already activated his trait of
chivalry.
“I’m not going to fight it,” Jin Yexue said as she walked forward. When the stone Pixiu came back to life, she bit her finger, and blood instantly seeped out.
The stone Pixiu’s movements came to an abrupt stop. It looked dumbly at Jin Yexue, as if it
had turned back into a stone statue.
Jin Yexue walked over and wiped the blood on the stone Pixiu’s forehead.
She turned around again, and said, “The ancestral bloodline can freeze it for about half an hour. Let’s go in immediately.”
Tang Yan and Ling Han both nodded. They went to the stone statue’s location and pulled the trigger. Ka, ka, ka! The doors to the small building immediately opened.
They entered, and saw that it was filled with bookshelves. Some were filled with books, some were filled with jade plates, and there were also animal hides and stone tablets.
“There aren’t any valuable secret techniques on the first floor. Let’s go to the second floor,”
Jin Yexue said.
Ling Han and Tang Yan both nodded in understanding. Although Jin Yexue had never come here before, she was still a member of the Jin Clan, after all. Thus, she would naturally know more about this place than them.
They went up to the second floor. The layout here was more or less the same as the floor below. There were still rows of bookshelves, covered with dust.
Ling Han picked up a book, yet it immediately turned into dust. Too much time had passed.
Tang Yan and Jin Yexue were also searching, but without exception, ordinary books definitely could not be preserved for tens of thousands of years, and had long since decayed. However, this place had not been touched all this while, and that was why it maintained the appearance of a book, but would shatter at the slightest touch.
Then what about the stone plates and jade plates?
“Thirteen Blood Moon Palms.”
“Thousand Transformations Fist Scroll.”
“Night Scroll.”
“…”
They found a great many cultivation techniques, and they were all very first-class, but they were only limited to the level of the True Self Tier. There was no True Lord Tier cultivation technique or Sect Master Tier-level technique.
Could it be that even the strongest ancestor of the Jin Clan was only a True Self Tier elite?
If that was the case, then “Old Monster Gu” would die with remaining grievances.
A mighty Spirit Transformation True Lord had actually died for the treasure trove of a measly
True Self Tier elite?
Hehe.
Ling Han did not believe this. He had been secretly observing Jin Yexueall this while. This woman was a descendant of the Jin Clan. If there was a precious technique, she should know
where it was stored.
Though Jin Yexue did not make any unusual movements all this while, and was just like Ling Han and Tang Yan, rummaging through the bookshelves, every once in a while, she would use her gaze to look in a certain direction. It was very covert. If Ling Han had not been observing
her all this while, he would definitely not have noticed.
What… lay there?
Ling Han walked over, and his divine sense immediately discovered that Jin Yexue looked
slightly nervous.
