Chapter Ch554 - Library Pavilion
Yet at this moment, Yan Tianhen was on his way to the library.
Although his alchemy secret scripts were rare and hard to find, they suited him well, but it didn’t mean that his cultivation could only stop there. He wanted to cast a wide net and gain more knowledge. In any case, it would be his loss if he didn’t read any of those secret manuals, and he didn’t even need to pay for them. The rule was just not to bring them out of the library.
The library was like a tall tower with many delicate and colored bells hanging from its eaves and corners. The tower had nine floors and nine corners, meaning it was all connected.
The lower three floors could be accessed by any disciple, while the third floor needed to be paid to enter. The upper three floors were closed off. Students couldn’t access them unless they had a master’s permission or their identity was already an inner hall disciple of the Three Halls.
However, according to the inner hall disciples who had been to the upper three floors, the seventh floor was filled with a collection of Divine Ranked secret scripts. Any script from there was enough to become a family’s trump card.
Many disciples were extremely envious. It could be said that the Divine Ranked secret script was also a big reason why they wanted to enter the inner halls.
The alchemy path included a lot of things, and there was no limit to suffering. It wasn’t any easier than taking the sword path.
Alchemy was on the second floor and craftsmanship was on the first floor. The sword, magic, and miscellaneous paths were arranged on the third floor because it avoided congestion of people from happening on the first floor.
As a matter of fact, congestion was absolutely impossible.
The area of the tower floor was huge; each floor had thousands of volumes of books, yet the disciples who could read books every day could be counted with both hands and fingers.
Usually, if the disciples chose their own appropriate secret script, they would need to borrow it for cultivation as if they got the most precious one and they would not waste their time in the library.
When Yan Tianhen came, there were not many people in the library.

However, Myriad Dao Academy upheld the principle that a good secret script is used for cultivation; otherwise, it is rotten. All secret scripts that could benefit disciples through cultivation would be shown to them free of charge regardless of their level.
It was no wonder that after the disciples of the Myriad Dao Academy came out, their cultivation was always much higher than that of other schools.
It was said that the Divine Ranked secret scripts used to be borrowed at will, but ever since the Sect Master found out that the disciples were being greedy and forcefully cultivated the Divine Ranked cultivation methods themselves, they suffered Qi deviations and became possessed, causing irreversible consequences. Hence, the sect strictly prohibited disciples from casually practicing the Divine Ranked cultivation methods.
Only disciples with excellent character and outstanding talent who passed the examination of the saints would be qualified to come and choose.
Yan Tianhen was interested in the Divine Ranked cultivation methods, but his interest was not so great. There were also Divine Ranked cultivation methods in the Yan family, but he once looked at it and felt dizzy. He couldn’t stand it at all.
At that time, Yan Tianhen thought, Why do people torture themselves?
Yan Tianhen’s view of swordsmanship was also from high to low. There were different kinds of swordsmanship secret books in the library, which were suitable for female practitioners, male practitioners, teenagers, and adults. The scripts included both flexible and strong techniques.
Yan Tianhen never had his own sword.
What he cultivated was the Yin Flame Palm, which was a sword and magic dual cultivation technique. The Yin Flame Palm itself could be transformed into a long sword, but if he wanted to bring his swordsmanship to the extreme, it was absolutely impossible without a sword.
Yan Tianhen was trying to find a set of swordsmanship secret scripts that could promote and integrate with the Yin Flame Palm. This one was too soft, that one was too strong, this one was suitable for an ice spiritual root, and that one was suitable for a fire spiritual root.
Looking at these secret scripts, Yan Tianhen always felt that there was something missing. He flipped through them quickly and put them back just as fast.
When Yan Tianhen was ready to pick up the next secret script, another hand held the corner of the same book. Yan Tianhen turned his head and looked to the side.
He found a smiling young man with a pair of peach blossom eyes. He let go of his hand. “I see you have been searching here for a long time. What book are you looking for?”
Yan Tianhen smiled at him, thinking about which courtyard this elder martial brother was from. “I’m afraid the book I’m looking for is not here.”
The elder martial brother seemed to be very interested and said, “The secret scripts here can’t be said to be all the secret scripts of the world, but they can be regarded as all manifestations of nature. Even Huarong Sword Immortal can find the one he wants here. I’d like to hear the secret scripts you want. What kind of sword techniques do you need?”
There was no one in charge of the library. It was all under the management of arrays and talismans. Yan Tianhen saw that there was no one around to ask, so he might as well inquire about the situation from this enthusiastic elder martial brother.
He asked, “What I want to find is suitable for half-demons, but the meditation method can’t be too full of Yang energy, and it is better to be full of Yin fire instead. Moreover, the sword moves couldn’t be too Yin and too soft, but they should be suitable for a person with a Yin constitution to cultivate.”
The elder martial brother in green robes stared at man Yan Tianhen. “Most of the people with Yin constitutions are women, but most of the secret scripts suitable for women are soft and relaxed. Men are the Yang attribute, and most of the secret scripts are strong and masculine. It’s just that the sword technique you want needs to be both rigid and soft, with harmony between Yin and Yang. The most important thing is that it’s suitable for the physique of demons, which is indeed really hard to find in the world.”
It was no secret that Yan Tianhen was a half-Divine Devil human furnace, but he had been recognized by the Emperor and had become the second heir to the Ancestral Hall, so few people dared to make a fuss about his birth, and no one dared to covet his body blatantly.
Yan Tianhen was also very generous and didn’t hide from the outside world. No one dared to provoke him easily anyway.
Yan Tianhen nodded. “Yes, it’s just because it’s hard to find, so I want to search one by one, but I’m afraid there won’t be a suitable cultivation method for me in the whole library.”
The green-robed elder martial brother laughed. “No, no, I’m in this library every day. I once saw a similar secret book. At that time, I thought that there was no way a man could have that much Yin constitution in the world with both demon blood and Daoist blood at the same time. So I gave it a read. I’ll go back and see if I can find it and I’ll show it to you next time.”
Yan Tianhen was ecstatic. His eyes were bright as he said, “If Elder Martial Brother can find it for me, I will try my best to repay him.”
The elder martial brother chuckled. “Oh, how do you want to repay me?”
Yan Tianhen said with a serious expression, “No matter whether Elder Martial Brother wants either spiritual stones or official power, I can help him.”
The elder martial brother was still smiling. “As a cultivator, what do I need these things for? Why don’t you refine pills for me for a few years and not charge me for it?”
Yan Tianhen thought that the elder brother really knew who he was, and maybe he was waiting for him here on purpose. However, Yan Tianhen naturally knew the pros and cons.
He said with a smile, “If Elder Martial Brother can really find such a sword technique, I don’t mind refining pills for Elder Martial Brother for free.”
The elder martial brother in a green robe nodded his head. “The young man is fearless and he acts decisively and quickly. He isn’t stingy at all, which suits my appetite. If you come here again in a month, I will surely give you that secret script.”
Yan Tianhen gave him a proper bow. “Thank you, Elder Martial Brother. At this time in one month, I will wait here for Elder Martial Brother.”
The senior martial brother waved his hand, picked up the book that Yan Tianhen was about to take, and walked towards the table and chair next to him.
With Yan Tianhen’s goal achieved, he left the library and hurried to the dormitory after seeing that it was very late outside and the moon was high in the sky.
The next day was a rest day that occurred every seven days. On this day, all the disciples had a holiday. They could go in and out of the sect and did not have to pay any contribution points. Therefore, many disciples chose to go to Ethereal City to buy some clothes.
Everything was good in the sect, but there was nothing in terms of stylish material objects. Courtyard clothes were all made of the same cloth and hairpin rings were even more rare.
Therefore, the disciples of rich families would take advantage of this time to bring their clothes out for seamstresses in Ethereal City to embroider some patterns into them. Some craftsmen disciples would directly add some beautiful defensive patterns on their clothes, which was both beautiful and practical.
It was a matter of great face for disciples in Myriad Dao Academy to go out in courtyard clothes.
Gu Ruyu and Qi Feiqian haven’t had much chance to find Yan Tianhen since the beginning of school. Because Gu Ruyu was in the Dao Division and was also a pillar of the sword and magic paths, he was naturally very swamped. Every day, he would not only concentrate on practicing his sword, but he also had to use his spare time to guide other disciples. Qi Feiqing was called a man of friends. He had found many like-minded people to fight chicken and walk dogs with him, looking for business opportunities together. So he was also busy.
On this holiday, it was not easy for the other two to be free. They wanted to look for Yan Tianhen to hang out in Ethereal City. Unexpectedly, after finding Yan Tianhen’s dormitory, they found that he had already left here early in the morning.
“Where did Ah Hen go?” Qi Feiqing saw Yin Changge with sharp eyes and stopped him to ask.
Yin Changge said, “If not in the alchemy room, then he had gone to Little Penglai.”
Qi Fei was stunned. “Little Penglai? During this period of time, he really ran off to Little Penglai?”
Yin Changge nodded. “Yes, he didn’t hide it either. The whole East Courtyard knows.”
Gu Ruyu and Qi Feiqing exchanged glances, showing some concern.
Despite the rampant rumors outside, the two people originally didn’t take it to heart. After all, in their position, if they took to heart the judgment of outsiders, they would have hanged themselves with a rope a long time ago.
