Chapter 24: Practicing Swordmanship

Yun Shang soon appeared at Yunya Peak. Yunya Peak was a separate mountain. The entire mountain was occupied by the sect's library. One could imagine how huge the sect's library was.

It is said that Lingxu Sect's library is the place with the richest collection in the entire continent, with the most classics, skills and secret manuals. The sect's library has a total of ten floors.

There were people coming and going at the entrance of the library, with many disciples from the sect going in and out. At the entrance, there were two outer sect deacons wearing green robes standing on both sides guarding.

Yun Shang stepped forward, and one of the deacons stopped her and said to her, "Stop, show me your identity jade token."

Yun Shang stopped and took out the identity jade card from the storage bag and handed it to the other party for inspection.

The deacon disciple at the door took it and scanned the identity jade card with his spiritual sense. Seeing that there was no problem, he returned the identity jade card to Yun Shang.

He then said to Yun Shang, "It takes ten contribution points to copy a set of martial arts manuals, and five contribution points to borrow other books. However, they must be returned within one month, and you must leave the library before dark."

Yun Shang raised her hand to take the identity jade card handed over by the other party, then nodded slightly to the deacon disciple guarding the door to indicate that she understood, and then walked into the library.

The first floor of the library was very spacious, with many outer disciples in green robes walking around. On the upper left side was a semicircular counter, in front of which sat two inner disciples who were in charge of registration.

Yun Shang glanced around the first floor of the library and estimated that there were hundreds of bookshelves. These bookshelves were divided into different areas, and each area was filled with jade slips and secret records of skills of the same type and attributes.

Yun Shang walked past these bookshelves and finally stopped in front of the 23rd row of bookshelves. She looked up and saw that the entire row of shelves was filled with sword techniques of various attributes and grades.

  Yun Shang picked up one of the jade slips, probed her spiritual sense into it, and checked the introductions inside one by one, such as Luochen Sword Technique, Bishui Sword Technique, Yinyang Sword Technique, Tianlei Sword Technique, etc. There were sword techniques of various attributes.

However, the jade slips that can be placed here are not of very high grade, most of them are of Xuan grade. The really good or high-grade jade slips of exercises are in the hands of the elders of the sect or the chief great masters.

This is one of the reasons why many people choose to become apprentices after entering a sect. Having a master to protect them is secondary to being able to obtain good skills. The most important thing is to have the master's guidance, which will help you avoid many detours on the road of cultivation.

Moreover, the master is also the disciples' backer in the sect. Most people don't dare to bully the disciples with the master. You must know that anyone who can accept the master as a disciple must have a cultivation level of at least the Golden Core Stage.

Becoming a disciple depends on opportunity. The most important thing now is to choose a sword technique that suits you.

Yun Shang finally chose a top-grade Xuan-level True Yang Sword Art. The True Yang Sword Art is a fire-attributed sword technique. Although its grade is not high, it is indeed the most suitable sword technique for Yun Shang to practice at present as she shows outside that she has dual fire and wood spiritual roots.

After Yun Shang selected the jade slip on swordsmanship, she walked to the bookshelf where the jade slips on body skills were placed. Yun Shang searched for a long time and finally selected a jade slip on wind god technique, which was also a top-grade Xuan-level body skill. Having many card also a good thing for her now.

Yun Shang took the two jade slips to the counter on the upper left to register.

"Uncle Master, please help me copy these two jade slips."

Yun Shang said politely to the deacon disciple of the library who was in charge of registration at the counter.

"Okay, it takes ten contribution points to copy one jade slip, and two jade slips will cost twenty contribution points. Do you want to copy them?"

The deacon disciple in charge of registration at the counter asked Yun Shang. Although everyone knew the rules of the sect's library, as the deacon disciple in charge of registration at the library, he still needed to make these things clear to others first.

Yun Shang nodded, then handed the two jade slips in her hand to the other party, raised her eyes and said, "Copy them for me."

The deacon disciple took the two jade slips from Yun Shang's hand, then took out two blank jade slips, and finally copied the contents of the two original jade slips into the two blank jade slips one by one. After doing all this, he handed the two copied jade slips to Yun Shang.

He spoke again, "Including the five contribution points for entering the library, the total is twenty-five contribution points."

Yun Shang nodded, took the two copies of the jade slips from the deacon's hand and put them away, then handed her identity jade card to the other party.

The deacon disciple took the identity jade card from Yun Shang's hand, raised his hand and made a swipe. A white light flashed, and soon twenty-five contribution points were deducted from Yun Shang's identity jade card.

Yun Shang took the identity jade token and scanned it with her spiritual sense. As expected, there were only 190 contribution points left.

Contribution points are much harder to earn than spirit stones. It cost her twenty-five contribution points just to enter the library, which made Yun Shang feel painful.

After copying the jade slip, Yun Shang walked out of the library and went straight back to the outer gate Qixia Peak.

After Yun Shang returned to her residence, she raised her hand to activate the restriction, set up an isolation formation, and then flashed into the space.

The first thing Yun Shang did after entering the space was, of course, to harvest all the spiritual herbs, fruits, and rice in the space, and then plant a new batch.

After doing all this, Yun Shang walked to the place where Lingwu Tea was planted. Lingwu Tea had grown from the original seedlings into the current bushes.

However, it was not yet time to pick the Lingwu tea, so Yun Shang watered the two Lingwu tea plants with some spiritual spring water.

Then they came to the Soul-Nourishing Spring next to the wooden house. After the Soul-Nourishing Spring was stored in Yun Shang's space, the seven-colored lotus growing in the Soul-Nourishing Spring grew particularly well, and the spiritual energy seemed to be more abundant than before.

The most important thing is that the two seven-color lotuses seem to have grown older, and the silver moontail fish inside are also surviving well and are more lively than those seen in the cave before.

Yun Shang counted the soul nourishing stones in the soul nourishing spring. There were six in total. One soul nourishing stone was enough to give birth to a soul nourishing spring. It shouldn't have any effect on the soul nourishing spring if she absorbed a soul nourishing stone, Yun Shang muttered softly.

Thinking of this, Yun Shang did just that. She reached out and took out a soul-nourishing stone from the soul-nourishing spring. Then she sat cross-legged on the spot, holding tightly in both hands a fist-sized soul-nourishing stone that was as black as ink. She closed her eyes and concentrated on absorbing the energy in the soul-nourishing stone in her hand.

Half a month later, Yun Shang finally absorbed all the energy from the fist-sized soul-nourishing stone in her hand, and the soul-nourishing stone that she had originally held tightly in her hand had now turned into a pile of waste.

Yun Shang slowly opened her eyes, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she was obviously in a good mood.

The Soul-Nourishing Stone really lived up to its name. After absorbing the energy of a Soul-Nourishing Stone, her consciousness jumped directly from the middle stage of foundation building to the great perfection of foundation building, leaping across two levels. How could Yun Shang not be surprised?

Yun Shang's gaze turned to the five remaining soul nourishing stones in the soul nourishing spring. Even if she left one soul nourishing stone to be used to nurture the soul nourishing spring, she could still absorb four soul nourishing stones.

Yun Shang thought longingly, wondering what her spiritual awareness would reach if she absorbed all the remaining four soul-nourishing stones.

Then I thought, more haste makes waste, so I shouldn't be too hasty. There will be plenty of time to absorb it slowly in the future.

Yun Shang stood up. After her consciousness reached the great perfection of foundation building, the place that her consciousness could cover was even farther. With her eyes closed, everything within a few hundred meters around her was clearly visible. Yun Shang curled her lips, obviously in a good mood.

He walked into the wooden house, made herself a meal of purple crystal rice, stewed a silver moon tail fish caught in the soul nourishing spring, roasted a black feather chicken caught in the monster forest, and finally got two spiritual vegetables and had a delicious meal.

Yun Shang touched her bloated round belly and walked around in circles to digest the food. When she felt her stomach was not so bloated anymore, she walked into the wooden house.

Sitting cross-legged on the cushion, she took out two jade slips that he had copied in the library today from her storage bag, one was the True Yang Sword Technique, the other was the Wind God Technique, one was the sword technique, and the other was the body technique.

Yun Shang first picked up the jade slip of the True Yang Sword Art, probed her spiritual sense into the jade slip, and read the contents inside. After Yun Shang memorized the contents of the jade slip, she stood up and left the space.

Then she raised her hand to open the restrictions and formations in the house, came to the stream behind the house, took out the magic weapon , and began to practice the True Yang Sword Technique.

The True Yang Sword Technique is a fire-attributed sword technique. Although its grade is not high, it is the highest grade sword technique that Yun Shang can currently obtain.

Time flies like water, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

During the past three months, Yun Shang had been practicing swordsmanship except for resting. After three months of constant study and practice.

Now Yun Shang has not only mastered the True Yang Sword Art, but has also proficiently mastered the first three levels of sword moves. Now Yun Shang has one more way to fight the enemy.
