16: Lingbo Weibu

"The Martial Pavilion is divided into five main areas.

These are Mind-Cultivation Techniques, Body Refining, Movement Techniques, Offensive Martial Skills, and Defensive Martial Skills.

First, congratulations to all you new Sect Disciples; each of you may choose one Profound Rank Low-grade Cultivation Technique.

However, you must remember that Cultivation Techniques are strictly forbidden to be privately taught. Violators will have their Cultivation Technique abolished and be expelled from the Sect.

Alright, go in and choose! Be sure to maintain quiet. If you are driven out by the guardian, you will lose the Opportunity to choose."

Immediately, including Ji Mo, a large group of young men trembled slightly with uncontrollable excitement.

After all, that was a Profound Rank Cultivation Technique!

Except for a few prominent aristocratic Families, the highest-level Cultivation Technique in most Families was merely Yellow Rank Advanced.

Now, as soon as they entered the Sect, they had Profound Rank Cultivation Techniques to choose from. How could this not make their blood boil?

"You have the time it takes for one stick of incense to choose. If you exceed the time, Cultivation Techniques will be randomly assigned.

Remember! This is your only free Opportunity to choose, so think carefully before selecting.

In the future, if you wish to enter the Martial Pavilion again, you will need to use Sect Contribution Points. All of you, go in."

"Sister Xi, you should choose a Mind-Cultivation Technique type of Cultivation Technique.

Your talent is already good, and now you are only at the Acquired Sixth Stage Early Stage cultivation. It must be that your Cultivation Technique is limiting you.

Choosing a Mind-Cultivation Technique type of Cultivation Technique will allow you to display your talent as quickly as possible."

Ji Mo said to Ji Ruoxi with a serious expression.

"En, I was planning the same thing. Then I'll go choose a Cultivation Technique first."

Ji Ruoxi's eyes were filled with anticipation, and before her words even finished, she impatiently walked towards the Martial Pavilion.

Ji Mo, however, did not act immediately. He stood rooted to the spot, lost in thought, pondering which type of Cultivation Technique he should choose.

One must know that he already possessed the "Hegemonic Heaven Refining Art," so Mind-Cultivation Technique martial arts were naturally not within his consideration.

Although offensive Cultivation Techniques were what he currently lacked, they were not the most urgently needed—after all, once the heaven and earth creation bell appeared, it could suppress everything, though the method was a bit too singular and overbearing.

As for defense, there was even less need to say; the cauldron of creation bell's defense was unparalleled, and Ji Mo's own Physical Body defense was quite formidable.

Thus, only Movement Techniques and Body Refining remained.

Although both the "Hegemonic Heaven Refining Art" and "monster beast pill" had Body Refining effects, those were merely incidental effects that came with increased strength.

If he wanted to maximize his Physical Body talent, he still needed to rely on targeted Cultivation Techniques.

Furthermore, movement was Ji Mo's current weakness; he had not yet Cultivated any Movement Techniques.

Once he encountered a speed-type enemy, if the opponent wished to flee, Ji Mo could only sigh in helplessness.

Thinking of this, Ji Mo made up his mind to first choose a Profound Rank Movement Martial Skill.

With his strength, accumulating Contribution Points would probably not be too difficult, and it would not be too late to exchange for other types of Cultivation Techniques then.

Walking into the Movement Technique area, a Cultivation Technique named "Lightness Skill" instantly caught Ji Mo's eye.

"This... isn't this the Cultivation Technique from 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils'?"

Ji Mo was instantly dumbfounded. Afterwards, he browsed the introductions of several other Cultivation Techniques, and after a brief thought, he still decided to choose this "Lightness Skill."

This Cultivation Technique was suitable for short-distance bursts, with significant effects in combat and killing, perfectly matching Ji Mo's intentions—everything was for killing enemies.

After all, Ji Mo wasn't going to deliver packages, so there was no need to choose a Cultivation Technique suitable for long-distance rapid movement.

Moreover, this Cultivation Technique was his childhood dream.

Before long, everyone had finished choosing.

Elder Mu's expression became extremely serious, his gaze sweeping over the crowd as he said in a deep voice:

"Youngsters, now that the Cultivation Techniques have been chosen, you must Cultivate diligently.

I emphasize again, private discussion, exchange, and mutual teaching are strictly forbidden, and borrowing, exchanging, or snatching are even more prohibited.

Anyone who dares to violate this, I will not let off lightly; I will personally cripple you!"

As he spoke, Elder Mu's Aura suddenly changed, as if he instantly transformed into a peerless Vicious Beast. Everyone felt as if the blood in their bodies had frozen, falling into endless fear, and they hastily responded in unison:

"Yes!"

Immediately, Elder Mu withdrew his Aura and led everyone to a large street.

Along the street sat small courtyards of uniform size.

"This street is your residential area. There are restaurants and shops nearby where you can take care of your food, drink, and daily necessities. Of course, you'll have to pay for it yourselves.

If you're well-off, you can also rent luxurious mansions."

Elder Mu said, a meaningful smile appearing on his face.

Following that, Elder Mu led everyone to the adjacent street and introduced it:

"This street can meet all your Cultivation needs, whether it's medicinal herbs, Medicinal Pills, equipment, or even Cultivation Techniques, you can find them here.

However, the origin of these Cultivation Techniques must absolutely not be from those obtained from the Martial Pavilion."

"The living areas have been introduced. Next, I'll take you to experience the 'Martial Arena'.

Wushuang City is large, and there are many people. Where there are many people, there are naturally grievances.

However, private duels are strictly forbidden within the city, and the Martial Arena is the place to resolve grievances.

There, you can engage in death matches and even place bets. If you are strong enough, earning money here is not difficult.

However, if you lose, you might lose your life. Weigh the dangers yourselves."

Elder Mu wore a cunning smile.

Afterward, Elder Mu led everyone to an area in the center of the city and said:

"This is the Mission Hall. You will receive missions, redeem rewards, and earn Sect Contribution Points here.

Additionally, beyond Wushuang City is all trial territory. In the nearby Wushuang Mountain Range, there are countless Yao Beasts, spirit materials, and Opportunities.

But be extremely careful not to approach the Holy Land's area, otherwise, if you are killed as an outsider enemy, you will have died in vain."

"It's getting late. Everyone go back and rest. From now on, your Cultivation will depend entirely on yourselves!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Mu's figure disappeared.

Ji Mo and Ji Ruoxi immediately went to choose two adjacent courtyards.

Just as they were about to enter the courtyard, they were stopped by an auntie. "Rent is one hundred taels a month. Note, one person per residence. If you want to live here, pay first, otherwise, scram."

Ji Mo was immediately a bit awkward; he didn't have any silver with him.

At this moment, Ji Ruoxi said from the side:

"Two rooms." Saying this, she handed over the silver.

Only then did the auntie let them pass, allowing the two to enter their respective courtyards.

"Thank you, Sister Xi."

"Why be so polite with me? If it weren't for you, how could I have come to Peerless Sect? Go get some rest!"

The two smiled and greeted each other, then each went into their rooms to rest.

Ji Mo stepped into the room, looked around, and couldn't help but secretly lament that the room was indeed very simple.

Inside, apart from some daily necessities like tables, chairs, and a bed, there was nothing else, only a set of bedding placed on the bed.

However, Ji Mo didn't dwell on it too much. He quickly adjusted his mood and sat cross-legged by the bed.

He pulled out the Secret Manual containing "Lightness Skill" from his storage space, his eyes filled with anticipation and focus.

This Secret Manual, in his eyes at this moment, was like a key to unlocking new combat abilities.

He slowly opened the Secret Manual, carefully studying the text and diagrams on it. The complex meridians and exquisite circulation routes gradually imprinted themselves in his mind.

Following the method described in the Secret Manual, Ji Mo tried to circulate the spiritual energy within his body, guiding it to flow along specific routes.

Perhaps due to the Transmigration or the comprehensive boost brought by the Hegemonic Heaven Refining Art, Ji Mo's Comprehension Ability became increasingly extraordinary, and the circulation of spiritual energy within his body became smoother.

Ji Mo felt his body gradually becoming lighter, as if an invisible force was lifting him.

He stood up and began to try walking according to the footwork in the Secret Manual.

Initially, his movements were a bit clumsy, and his steps were slightly chaotic, but with repeated attempts, he gradually grasped the essentials.

"This 'Lightness Skill' is indeed miraculous!"

Ji Mo exclaimed inwardly.

He quickened his pace, and he was seen moving freely through the small courtyard, his figure flickering like a ghost, sometimes left, sometimes right, making him difficult to predict.

"Minor Achievement Realm." Cultivating Lightness Skill to Minor Achievement in one night, many people would likely find it unbelievable.

Even Ji Mo himself found it somewhat incredible that his current talent was so Heaven-Defying.

This was not just a matter of Comprehension Ability; his body should have also been transformed by the Hegemonic Heaven Refining Art, just like the innate Dao Body written about in novels of his previous life, making it more suitable for Cultivation.

"Thank you again, Mother Blue Star!"
