14: Chapter 14 Robbery of the Library, Ancestral Dragon Scripture

Shen Xingchen was surprised by the attitude of the two security guards.

So this jade medallion was so useful!

Shen Xingchen brought Secretary Su Rou with him into the library.

As soon as he stepped through the doors, he was shocked by the magnificent architecture.

The entire library was resplendent in gold and jade, resembling a classical dynastic palace and fully displaying its solemnity.

The martial skills and cultivation techniques were all placed within the hollowed-out sections of the surrounding walls, and right in the center was a spiraling staircase.

Furthermore, the bamboo slips and scrolls corresponding to those martial skills and cultivation techniques emitted intense light, and every single one of them was of immense value.

Is this the foundation of the entire city?

Shen Xingchen marveled.

It would be great if he could take away a few more martial skills...

Just as he was thinking this, he heard a light cough beside him.

Secretary Su Rou looked at Shen Xingchen with deep meaning in her eyes and said, "It really is magnificent. It would be great if we could take away two more martial skills or cultivation techniques. Am I right, classmate Shen?"

Shen Xingchen, whose thoughts had been exposed, gave an awkward smile.

This old woman really has a meticulous mind!

Shen Xingchen suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "Sister Su, it's not a problem if I don't take them away and just look at them a couple more times, right?"

Secretary Su Rou smiled and nodded, "Of course you can."

After all, choices needed to be made; it was impossible to make a decision just by looking at the cover.

Besides, could he master it just by looking at it a couple more times?

How could that be possible!?

Shen Xingchen's eyes curved into crescents, like a cunning little fox.

Since that's the case, don't blame me!

After leaving the library this time, let's see who else could be his opponent!

Shen Xingchen feigned a pretense as he walked up the stairs, came to a bookshelf, and picked up a scroll.

[Tiangang Myriad Buddha Seal] (Xuan-tier High-grade Martial Skill)

It fused the divine power of the myriad Buddhas of the heavens to construct a palm print in the palm of the hand, possessing immense power.

This one isn't bad; I'll collect it first.

Shen Xingchen pretended to casually flip through two pages unconcernedly.

He didn't even plan to memorize the specific key formulas.

Because whether he remembered them or not wasn't important; as long as the system could remember them, that was fine!

Five minutes later, he heard the system's voice.

{Ding!}

{Martial skill [Tiangang Myriad Buddha Seal] successfully recorded, available for study at any time}

Shen Xingchen put the scroll back.

Secretary Su Rou nodded in satisfaction.

Some geniuses were able to memorize and learn a martial skill within several hours.

Secretary Su Rou naturally knew that Shen Xingchen possessed peerless talent, so if he really looked at one for a full hour, that wouldn't do either!

But it was only five minutes, who would care?

You must know that high-tier martial skills and their qi circulation methods were recorded through profound patterns. If one could not comprehend all of them, even with a photographic memory, one could not remember the profound mysteries within!

This was what was called being understood only intuitively and not expressible in words!

For the rest of the time, Shen Xingchen browsed through martial skills and cultivation techniques. Some took a shorter time, and some took a longer time, but at most, none exceeded six minutes.

Secretary Su Rou was very satisfied.

Although this youth came from a poor background, he understood propriety and lacked greed.

Shen Xingchen was also quite satisfied with this process.

This was probably the legendary win-win situation!

During this period, he had looked at four cultivation techniques and four martial skills.

But it was a pity that the cultivation techniques were all Xuan-tier, which did not meet his requirements, so he put them down as soon as he picked them up.

As for martial skills, he had harvested quite a lot.

They were respectively [Zhoutian Formless Sword], [Void-Shattering Finger], [Heaven-Rending Fist], and [Divine Mobility Step].

Except for the [Zhoutian Formless Sword] which was Earth-tier Elementary, the others were all Xuan-tier High-grade.

With his current realm, learning Earth-tier martial skills would instead waste time, so Xuan-tier was just right!

Staying any longer might arouse Secretary Su Rou's suspicion.

Shen Xingchen decided to use the remaining time to choose a cultivation technique.

Looking left and right, he wasn't very satisfied with any of them.

He looked at Secretary Su Rou for help.

This old woman had spoken foul words to him and felt him up in the car for so long; she couldn't just close the car door and deny everything!

Secretary Su Rou smiled and said, "Don't look with your eyes; use your heart! True peerless cultivation techniques can resonate with the cultivator."

When she spoke, her brows and eyes curved into arcs, looking extremely cunning.

It was impossible to tell the truth or falsehood of her words.

Shen Xingchen still tried it, only to find that it was completely useless!

This old woman really did close the car door and deny everything, actually tricking him!

Hmph! As expected, the older a woman is, the better she is at lying!

Shen Xingchen walked further up the stairs.

[Dark Ice Condensing Spirit Technique]

Earth-tier Intermediate, transforming spiritual power into frost. When cultivated to great completion, it can freeze the opponent's spiritual power...

It's a bit like School Belle Jiang's; she wouldn't be practicing this, would she?

Although it was Earth-tier, he was still a bit unsatisfied, so he would leave it as a backup!

[Blood Sea Scripture]

Earth-tier Intermediate. When cultivated, the blood qi surges to the heavens, keeping living beings at a distance; it is extremely terrifying and deeply bizarre...

Hmm?

Is this an orthodox cultivation technique?

[Yin-Yang Joyous Union Scripture]

Earth-tier Lower-grade. When cultivated, it requires mating with the opposite sex in lingering affection; every time it is completed, one's cultivation base will skyrocket...

This is good! This is good!

Why is it only Earth-tier Lower-grade? What a pity, what a pity!

Just as Shen Xingchen was sighing,

suddenly,

deep within his heart, he felt an extremely faint call.

That didn't sound like human language; it felt more like a form of mental communication.

"Hmm?"

Shen Xingchen looked in the direction of the call.

At the very top of the library, an extremely dilapidated golden page emitted a dazzling light.

"Is this resonance?"

Shen Xingchen was shocked.

So Secretary Su Rou hadn't lied to him; there really were such miraculous cultivation techniques.

It seemed he had wronged her...

What Shen Xingchen didn't notice was that Secretary Su Rou at the very bottom had her small mouth wide open, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Scripture resonance!

She had only ever heard of such legends in storybooks.

How could something that only existed in legends actually happen!?

Shen Xingchen hurriedly stepped forward and removed the golden page.

The moment he first saw its contents, Shen Xingchen felt dizzy.

His mind and spirit felt as if they were about to be sucked into it.

That was a profound pattern, and at the center, a golden dragon shadow flickered in and out of view.

The vertical pupils in the eyes of that majestic dragon shadow suddenly dilated, emitting an incomparable might.

Shen Xingchen's consciousness intersected with the dragon shadow.

With a bang,

the golden page began to turn illusory, and that majestic aura bloomed completely.

Shen Xingchen saw the name of this scripture.

[Ancestral Dragon Scripture], Tier: Unknown

Such tyrannical might, such terrifying power.

Without any hesitation, Shen Xingchen chose to cultivate this cultivation technique.

After obtaining Shen Xingchen's recognition,

the majestic dragon qi on the golden page surged into Shen Xingchen's glabella like streams flowing into the sea.

Shen Xingchen's body floated up.

His aura climbed steadily...

Secretary Su Rou saw this in her eyes, filled with shock.

That golden page had been placed in this library for decades, and no one had ever been able to understand the contents on it.

Just by looking at the aura of that scripture, everyone could know its preciousness.

How many people sought it without ever finding it!

This youth merely touched it, yet obtained such a joyful response...

How could anyone bear this!?
