Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 81 Ghostly Blade

"Hmm! That's more like it! I'm currently assigned to the 'Scripture Pavilion,' and I just left to return to 'Jinxiu Peak,' right?"

Li Yunjing smiled slightly, looking somewhat smug in front of his friends.

"what?"

Sure enough, Ma Xingyuan was shocked and could hardly believe his ears.

"Young Master Li! You've really struck it rich! Can you get me into the 'Library's Pavilion' too?"

Ma Xingyuan was so envious he was practically drooling.

That's the "Library of the Buddha"!

Important sect grounds!

It's incredibly juicy!
If you go to the "Scripture Pavilion" and stay for a year, you won't even need to buy any more cultivation spells, which will save you a lot of spirit stones!

"You think you can just go whenever you want? Do you think I'm a god?"

Li Yunjing shook his head slightly. He was assigned to the outer sect as a steward in the "Scripture Pavilion" only because of Yu Yunyi and the Yu family.

He himself had no face to speak of and no ability to bargain with a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so he managed to get Ma Xingyuan into the "Scripture Pavilion" as well.

"By the way, where are you doing your mission right now?"

Li Yunjing inquired.

"Sigh! I'm doomed. I can't compare to you, Young Master Li. I'm going to 'Yaxiangyuan'!"

Ma Xingyuan sighed, knowing that what he said was unreliable, but when he talked about his workplace, he still showed a smile.

This place is great!
He's been eating and taking things away lately, so he's been making a lot of money lately.

"Yaxiangyuan?"

Li Yunjing was truly shocked. How did that fat man end up there?

"Hehe! By using connections and asking Yue Zhouwang and Wang Yun to do some favors, I was able to get into 'Yaxiangyuan'."

Ma Xingyuan looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention to them, whispered in Li Yunjing's ear.

"Fatty! You're something else! 'Ya Xiang Yuan' is quite lucrative, no wonder you've gained so much weight."

Li Yunjing patted Ma Xingyuan's round belly and chuckled, but in his heart he was thinking about when he should go to "Yaxiangyuan".

This time, he was promoted to an outer disciple and became the manager of the first floor of the "Scripture Pavilion," which was a great honor for him.

Yue Zhouwang and his fellow nouveau riche must spend some money to celebrate their own fortune.
Recently, resources have been consumed quite a bit. Seeing Ma Xingyuan, Li Yunjing naturally thought of his "old friends" Yue Zhouwang and Wang Yun.

When good things happen, you naturally want to share them with your "old friends"!

Thinking of this, Li Yunjing looked at Ma Xingyuan and smiled, "I'm in a hurry to get back to 'Jinxiu Peak' today, so I don't have time to get together with you. Let's have a good drink at 'Yaxiang Garden' in half a month!"

"Good! Good! Good! Young Master Li, rest assured! Leave this banquet to me, I will definitely make it a grand success!"

Ma Xingyuan laughed heartily, very pleased that Li Yunjing had not forgotten his friend.

Ma Xingyuan had no idea that Li Yunjing had already set his sights on the other managers of "Yaxiangyuan".

If these people are smart, they're bound to bleed some money.

Li Yunjing, a disciple with such a promising future, is someone they can rarely rely on!
After receiving a wave of gifts and recovering his losses, Li Yunjing can then purchase talisman paper and monster blood to continue his talisman-making endeavor.

"Okay! It's settled then! See you in two weeks!"

Li Yunjing nodded, and they exchanged contact information for the outer gate before bidding farewell to Ma Xingyuan.

This time, I unexpectedly ran into the fat guy, which was a pleasant surprise.

The entire outer gate residential area is like a small town.

Each of the outer disciples has their own missions to complete, so they can't stay here indefinitely.

To run into each other on the street like this shows that Li Yunjing and Ma Xingyuan are truly destined to meet. After leaving through the outer gate, Li Yunjing returned to "Jinxiu Peak".

On his second trip into the mountains, Li Yunjing was questioned less, and he became a familiar face to many.

That evening, he gathered his group members in the cabin, prepared some spirit wine, fruits and vegetables, and roasted some meat from the "Crimson Sun Serpent".

When everyone got together, their relationships became much more harmonious.

Li Yunjing spent several dozen spirit stones on this meal, which can be considered a generous expenditure.

Su Guo and the others felt much more favorably toward Li Yunjing.

It was late at night, and the autumn wind was slightly chilly.

After seeing his group members off, Li Yunjing tidied up his room and prepared to practice meditation.

The next day, the two groups successfully handed over their tasks.

Li Yunjing threw himself back into his studies.

Unlike last time, when he only looked at books that gave him a general idea, this time Li Yunjing chose to study specialized knowledge.

The book he's holding right now is called "The Ghostly Blade".

Li Yunjing showed interest at first glance.

This is actually a spell comparable to a minor supernatural power.

In the cultivation world, spells are classified into many levels. The spells that Li Yunjing cultivates are considered minor spells, ordinary and not worth mentioning.

Above these minor spells, there are minor supernatural powers, major supernatural powers, and supreme supernatural powers.

In myths and legends, moving mountains and overturning seas, imitating the heavens and the earth, radiating golden light from the ground, having three heads and six arms, turning beans into soldiers, and summoning wind and rain... these are all supreme supernatural powers.

Such supernatural abilities are said to be only attainable by Nascent Soul Realm elders, and even many Nascent Soul Realm elders may not be able to master them.

Li Yunjing, having found a minor supernatural power cultivation method ahead of time, immediately showed interest.

If someone were to borrow the minor supernatural ability "Nether Whirlwind Blade" normally, they would need to pay 50 low-grade spirit stones.

This is why Li Yunjing, with his special duties, could read the scriptures for free; this is the hidden benefit of the "Scripture Pavilion".

"Nether Whirlwind Blade" is neither a typical cultivation technique nor a weapon-based move.

It is a secret weapon!

Looking at the contents of the book, Li Yunjing was horrified. He was to condense the metal element true essence in his lungs, transform it into a killing sword, and then spit it out with a flash of black light, killing everything within three to five feet.

The "Nether Whirlwind Blade" is extremely stealthy and fast, striking without warning. In close combat, ordinary cultivators simply cannot dodge this attack.

This made Li Yunjing extremely excited, as this was a powerful weapon for ambushing others or turning defeat into victory.

Who could have imagined that, when the opponent was powerless, he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a beam of black light, killing the person opposite him?

"Cough cough!"

Just as Li Yunjing was engrossed in watching, a cough came from behind: "Young friend, are you learning the 'Netherworld Whirlwind Blade'?"

"Ah! It's you, senior!"

Li Yunjing looked up and saw the elderly Taoist in purple robes. He quickly closed the book and bowed to the Taoist.

"Hmm! Young friend, I observe that your cultivation is quite diverse. You possess the five elemental spiritual roots, are you?"

The old Taoist priest was very kind and asked in a soft voice.

"Sigh! How did this old man get his eye on me?"

Li Yunjing sighed and then said with a wry smile, "This disciple's aptitude is not very good. Although I have all five elements, I can learn any kind of cultivation technique or spell."
