Chapter 44 (Into the Library)

Looking at the figure of Taoist Cang Feng leaving, Mu Hao's worry seemed to have improved a lot. In order to survive for two years in Wan Du Peak, Mu Hao had to be careful. Now the fog has disappeared, as if everything has settled in an instant, and Mu Hao's heart is also broad.

Although he accepted Cang Feng's teachings, Mu Hao still did not take Cang Feng as his teacher. Mu Hao could not let go of the killing of Moroke immediately. However, it was precisely because of this that Mu Hao and Cang Feng got along well, at least neither of them had any burden now.

Mu Hao was full of expectations for entering the library. Although Mu Hao's body is very strong now, it was just instinct and could not be effectively controlled by Mu Hao.

In addition, after Mu Hao discovered that the non-toxic calcined body he had been practicing was a technique of sacrifice and refining living zombies, he urgently needed to find a technique that could give him guidance for Mu Hao to continue practicing.

A day later, when Mu Hao came to the Ziyun Sect Library, he realized that what Master Cang Feng said was not a false impression. The huge Ziyun Sect Library was like a small city, standing in the back mountain of Ziyun Mountain. The huge library was four floors high, which looked extremely simple. It was hard for Mu Hao to imagine how many martial arts it contained in such a large library.

Seeing an old man in his seventies sitting on the stone table in front of the attic, Mu Hao hesitated for a moment, walked to the old man and asked tentatively: "Mu Hao, a disciple of Wandu Peak, wants to enter the library to choose a body refining technique." As he said that, Mu Hao took out the elder token left by Taoist Cangfeng yesterday and gently placed it on the stone table.

Hearing Mu Hao's voice, the old man looked at Mu Hao with loose eyes: "Today it seems to be a sect competition. Why don't you go to the competition? You ran to the library? Wandu Peak, is that old guy Morok your master?"

Mu Hao was a little impatient, but he did not regard the tired old man in front of him as an ordinary person. Although the old man was dressed very ordinary and was wearing a gray robe, Mu Hao knew that the old man who could protect outside the huge library would definitely not be so simple.

Thinking of this, Mu Hao had to bite the bullet and answer, "I am Morok's apprentice. Today I came to the library. I received permission from Taoist Cang Feng. I hope that the old man would let the younger generation enter the library to view it."

After hearing Mu Hao's words, the old man grinned and showed a row of white teeth: "Hehe~~~Morok's disciples can actually get involved with that guy Cang Feng, it's really strange! Since you brought the token of the elders of the sect, it's okay to let you in, but there are thousands of martial arts in the library. If you walk in like this, you may not be able to find the martial arts you want to choose even if you find the dark. How about it, do you want me to help you?"

Mu Hao's face was happy: "If you can help me, it would be the best. I want to take a look at the exercises in body refining, and please give me guidance."

The old man did not speak at this time, but looked at Mu Hao with a smile on his face, rubbing his fingers slightly.

Seeing Mu Hao a little confused, the old man's face turned slightly darker: "Boy, I really don't understand how you and Moroke learned it. Even if you ask me to help you, you should express your feelings. You don't even understand this. Generally, those little guys will bring me some good things if they want me to help. What good things do you have?" After the old man said that, he looked at the small black bag containing the soul-devouring skeleton bone on Mu Hao's waist.

Mu Hao never expected that the old man in front of him would ask for something from him openly. Even if he was a little dissatisfied with the old man, Mu Hao did not dare to show it on the spot. Mu Hao knew that he could enter the library smoothly and all he had to rely on the old man in front of him. Mu Hao didn't think about the opportunity he had finally expected, because he offended the old man and turned into a bubble.

Seeing the old man keep looking at the small bag on his body, Mu Hao felt like a fat sheep being targeted. In desperation, Mu Hao had to touch one of the small bags on his waist, took out two black crystals the size of eyeballs from it and put them on the stone table in front of the old man: "Senior, don't know if these two crystals are enough? If there are more, I will really not have them!"

The old man glanced at the crystal that Mu Hao took out, nodded lightly, and saw that the old man's wide cuffs swept over the stone table, and the two dark crystals disappeared, replaced by a white jade tube. Even Mu Hao didn't see clearly how the crystal disappeared.

"Okay, take this white jade tube on the third floor of the library, and you will find the skills of body refining. If you are interested, you can use your spiritual sense to burn the content of the book into the library. Remember, books cannot be taken out of the library." After saying that, the old man opened his right hand, and his body was filled with strong earth element magic. Five yellow lights shot out from the five fingers of his right hand, and fell directly into the stone gate of the library.

After the yellow light shot out by the old man penetrated into the stone gate, it seemed as if it had touched the mechanism. The stone gate of the entire library sounded loudly and slowly opened to one side.

After seeing the entire stone door being opened, Mu Hao did not hesitate. He picked up the white jade tube on the stone table, bowed to the old man, and walked directly into the library.

As the stone gate slowly closed, the old man sitting on the stone table with turbid eyes seemed to have become a different person. For a moment, the light shone in his eyes, and he no longer had the tired expression just now.

"Haha~~~Cang Feng, you are really good to that little guy! He even gave him a jade tube. I hope he can really bring hope to our Ziyun Sect as you and Geranis expect." The old man said to an inconspicuous open space in front of the library.

At this time, the figure of Taoist Cang Feng suddenly appeared in the open space where the old man's eyes were involved.

Unlike his expressions with Geranis and others, the face of Daoist Cang Feng at this time seemed a little restrained: "The Supreme Elder, this son has a strong personality and a good foundation in cultivation. If he can be cultivated, he may really become the pillar of our Ziyun Sect in the future."

The old man nodded: "That boy has a good root and bone, but I just don't know if our Ziyun Sect can wait until that time. You will teach him carefully in the future."

"I understand, Supreme Elder, if nothing happens, I will go back first." Seeing the old man nodding, Cang Feng's body slowly disappeared from the open space.

At this time, the old man returned to his tired face. Before he knew it, the two dark crystals that Mu Hao handed to the old man appeared in the old man's hand again.

The old man played with the dark crystal and muttered to himself: "What kind of martial arts will you choose? I really look forward to it!"

At this time, Mu Hao had no idea what happened outside the library. At this time, Mu Hao was completely shocked by the huge number of books and techniques in the library.

Looking at the endless amount of martial arts books in the entire library, quietly placed on the huge stone bookshelf, Mu Hao, who had never seen such a scene, was not only a little stunned. Originally, Mu Hao thought that even if there were some cultivation techniques in the library, there would not be too many. After killing Moroke, even if Mu Hao searched through the entire Wanpo Peak, he had only found six books related to cultivation. This made Mu Hao think that martial arts books are relatively important cultivation resources in the Ziyun Sect, but after seeing the countless books in front of him, Mu Hao realized how outrageous he was wrong.

I roughly counted the number of large stone bookshelfs on the library, which was as large as 99. The books on it were not only various important techniques, but also books from various major cultivation systems were not short of them. The entire Oprece history and humanities books were also very large. What surprised Mu Hao even more was that there were many key techniques and tips of the cultivation.

What Mu Hao was thinking was not wrong. The entire library is indeed the top priority of Ziyun Sect. In the long history of Ziyun Sect’s establishment, the entire library has been accumulated for a long time to reach its current scale. Even compared with the martial arts scriptures of some large sects, Ziyun Sect is not much different.

However, even so, there are very few disciples of Ziyun Sect who can cultivate great power. Different people's own qualifications and conditions have led to many ancient methods no longer returning to the prosperous period of the past. Although good skills will give practitioners some opportunities, it is extremely difficult to cultivate to the highest level in this era when the world is becoming increasingly thin.

It is precisely because of many reasons that the huge resources of the Ziyun Sect’s martial arts and scriptures are far less valuable than Mu Hao imagined. No matter how good the martial arts are, they need someone to master them before they can be reproduced in the world.

Looking at the countless collections of books in front of him, Mu Hao seemed a little moved. The purpose of Mu Hao participated in the trial of Ziyun Sect was to learn a trick. However, two years have passed, and with the obvious progress of Mu Hao's cultivation, Mu Hao's expectation had already passed with the wind as his progress.

I simply read some books about the history of the Opres continent. Although most of them have nothing to do with cultivation, Mu Hao still seemed very interested.

I don’t know how long it took, but Mu Hao browsed the first floor of the library before he started walking towards the second floor. At this time, a hint of doubt appeared in Mu Hao’s heart. Just now, Mu Hao also saw a lot of physical exercises on the stone rack on the first floor. This discovery made Mu Hao think of why the old man outside the library wanted him to go to the third floor of the library to find the exercises.
