Chasing after her husband? Is it even possible to win him back?

"......" Ah, this.

Chu Xunfeng was puzzled, hesitated for a moment but didn't ask any more questions, and simply looked away. "Miss, where are we going now?"

"Let's go to the main hall first." Xu Bailing walked towards the sword pavilion at the end of the wide platform with her sword in one hand. Chu Xunfeng's gaze turned to the spot where the ponytail youth had been standing, but he didn't see anyone, so he followed Xu Bailing.

Sword Pavilion, the sword refers to its shape and the pavilion refers to its architectural form. As Chu Xunfeng got closer, he realized that this Sword Pavilion was very much like a huge comprehensive teaching building.

The lobby on the first floor was incredibly spacious. At a glance, nearly a hundred people were scattered throughout the lobby, yet it did not feel crowded. Several windows were scattered throughout the lobby, and people were moving around in front of each window.

Xu Bailing still remembered the task the Seventh Elder had given her, so she took the initiative to explain, "The windows on the first floor are basically for disciples to accept sect tasks, hand in tasks, exchange cultivation resources, and receive their monthly stipends."

Chu Xunfeng nodded and, under the gaze of many, followed Xu Bailing up the stairs to the second floor.

"The second floor is generally used for selecting courses, choosing classrooms, cultivation rooms, and handling miscellaneous matters related to sect disciples."

Uh-huh-huh.

The two then went up five floors.

“The five floors from the seventh floor down to the second floor are classrooms. The eighth and ninth floors are private training rooms. Further up, the tenth to twelfth floors are the scripture library, and the thirteenth to nineteenth floors are the private classrooms of the seven elders, which are only for their direct disciples.”

"The last few floors are all above the sword hilt level, and have nothing to do with ordinary disciples." Xu Bailing looked at Chu Xunfeng. "I'll take you this far. Next, go to the Scripture Pavilion yourself, give your name, show the teacher there the nameplate that was given to you at the reception point yesterday, choose your cultivation method and supernatural power, and then go to the second floor to report and register for the basic body cultivation course. But don't register for any extra courses for now. You have great talent, and the sect will arrange a special teacher to teach you. Do you understand?"

Chu Xunfeng pondered for a moment, then nodded gently, "Thank you, Miss, I'll remember."

"Alright, if you need anything, go to the second floor and ask the disciples of the Reception Hall. For the next few days, focus on practicing your cultivation techniques. If there's anything you don't understand, stop for now and wait for the Elders' Hall to arrange a suitable teacher for you. Then you can ask your teacher for guidance."

"Okay." Chu Xunfeng nodded, watching Xu Bailing quietly disappear down the stairs from his sight.

After a long silence, the young man quietly spoke up, "System, the pills you gave me must be very powerful, right?"

[Rare in the world.]

“So, it’s not that there isn’t one…” Chu Xunfeng paused for a moment, “Could the people of White Emperor City have figured it out?”

[It's not impossible, but the user has no reason to deliberately conceal it. They can simply follow their prepared lie and pretend they don't know the value of the pill.]

"Hmm." Chu Xunfeng brushed aside the complicated suspicions in his mind, turned around and stepped onto the stairs.

The tenth floor, the library.

Chu Xunfeng stopped after climbing the last step.

Ahead, a huge transparent light screen covered the entire open and spacious space.

A dignified middle-aged man dressed in black sat cross-legged in front of the light screen, his arms crossed, and met Chu Xunfeng's gaze.

"This is the library containing the cultivation methods of soldiers and the classics of swords and sabers."

"The cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities required for body cultivation are on the eleventh floor."

Chu Xunfeng blinked and bowed slightly to the middle-aged man, "Thank you, senior."

The young man walked around the corridor and continued upstairs.

The eleventh floor was the same as the tenth floor, except that the guard at the door was now an old man in a black robe.

"The books here contain cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities for body cultivators. Please show your identification plaque."

"Senior, please take a look." Chu Xunfeng took out a palm-sized nameplate and handed it to the black-robed old man.

Chapter Eleven: Unavoidable Trouble

The old man in black robes took the nameplate from Chu Xunfeng, activated the engraving within it with a wisp of sword energy, glanced at the innocent-looking Chu Xunfeng, and handed the nameplate back to the young man.

"Yes, your identity is correct. Yesterday, Yan Tang gave you instructions that you can choose one cultivation technique below the Three Profound Realms and two divine abilities within the Four Realms. After you have made your choice, touch the book with your nameplate to make a record, and then go to the second floor to collect it."

"You have two hours to choose. Don't try to hide any cultivation techniques or supernatural abilities. You can't escape this restriction. Do you understand?"

"Yes, disciple understands." Although the old man spoke very rudely, Chu Xunfeng did not take it to heart. He smiled and replied, and was then waved away by the old man.

The young man walked towards the light screen and entered the library without feeling any obstruction.

In that instant, the whole world seemed to fall silent. Chu Xunfeng could even hear his own breathing, and the familiar scent of paper and ink filled his nostrils.

The young man glanced at the endless bookshelves, each shelf filled with numerous books, bamboo slips, and even some cultivation techniques stored in strange stones and metals... the number of which was probably in the four figures.

This vast amount of content is divided into two categories.

Kung Fu techniques and supernatural powers.

Then they were categorized by realm and placed on bookshelves engraved with different restrictions.

How should I choose?

System? Help!

[Go straight ahead, the ninth bookshelf on your right, sixth row, contains the book "Blood Refining Technique"]

Chu Xunfeng breathed a sigh of relief and, following the system's guidance, found the Blood Refining Manual, picked it up, and casually flipped through it.

Having read the introduction and the basic theory of this Blood Refining Technique, Chu Xunfeng admitted that the system had indeed helped him find the most suitable cultivation method for him to begin with.

The Phoenix Blood Dragon Bone Pill granted Chu Xunfeng two innate supernatural abilities. The cloud energy brought by the Cloud Dragon allowed Chu Xunfeng to move lightly and gracefully, supported by the cloud energy.

The other innate ability happens to be related to blood.

The phoenix can be reborn from the flames, and this second innate divine ability happens to be related to rebirth and flames.

Once Chu Xunfeng is injured, the blood seeping from his wound will ignite into flames, slowly repairing the external injury.

Based on this, and with the Blood Refining Technique used to transport qi and blood, Chu Xunfeng already had quite a few wild ideas he wanted to try and see if they could be successful.

Using a nameplate to record the cultivation technique, Chu Xunfeng put down the Blood Refining Manual. "Where are the supernatural abilities?"

[Turn right at the bookshelf ahead, walk seven bookshelves, and on the third bookshelf on your left is "The Dragon's Step".]

The Soaring Dragon Step, as the name suggests, is a movement technique, and it is also highly likely to be able to complement Yun Conglong's innate divine ability.

Next!

[In the back, third row, "The Essentials of Windfury Leg Slamming"]

[The user's hands must be reserved for the weapon, so body training begins with leg techniques, focusing on the lower body. The Swimming Dragon Step can complement the Wind Fury Thrust Leg.]

can.

Then it's up to you.

Setting down the original text, the young man holding the identity badge gradually showed joy on his face, and his steps became lighter.

The young man quickly ran out of the library, making sure to greet the grumpy old man at the entrance before leaving.

"This kid... he really just randomly picked three books?" The old man in the black robe frowned and shook his head as he watched Chu Xunfeng run downstairs.

Chu Xunfeng hurried down the stairs, his body enveloped in wisps of cloud, attracting the attention of many disciples in White Emperor City.

Arriving at the bustling second floor, Chu Xunfeng looked around and found the window with the sign for the transfer of cultivation techniques hanging on it. In a flash, he stood in front of the window that no one had ever visited.

"Hello, I'd like to exchange the cultivation technique I selected earlier at the Scripture Pavilion." As he spoke, the young man handed the nameplate in his hand to the woman behind the window.

"Okay, please wait a moment." The woman smiled gently, took Chu Xunfeng's nameplate, got up and walked behind the counter, then disappeared.

Chu Xunfeng stood in front of the counter, his heart pounding with excitement. He didn't even notice that not far away, many disciples were casting pitying glances at him.

After waiting for about half an incense stick's time, the female disciple still hadn't returned. Chu Xunfeng's earlier excitement gradually cooled down, and he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Why are so many people staring at me?

Chu Xunfeng frowned slightly and subconsciously turned around to look behind him, only to see the ponytail youth who had provoked him that morning tossing a nameplate in his right hand and holding three books in his left.

The female disciple who was supposed to fetch the book for him was standing behind the ponytail-wearing youth, looking at him with a mocking smile.

"Half an incense stick's time, and your reaction is really slow..." The ponytail youth's tone was mocking. "Not bad, a disciple who's just been promoted, and he's already getting the treatment of a personal disciple, a cultivation technique, and two supernatural abilities... Tsk tsk tsk..."

[User, the opponent is at the Body Refinement and Blood Qi Realm; you are no match for them.]

Not a match... but...

Chu Xunfeng frowned. His opponent was strong, but judging from the current situation, he knew that he couldn't avoid this confrontation. So he simply stepped forward and said, "I have never met you before... I don't know where I have offended you, that you would target me like this?"

"Treatment...treatment." The ponytail-wearing youth stared at Chu Xunfeng with a condescending look. "I ask you, why do you, a disciple who has been promoted, receive the treatment of a personal disciple?"

Chu Xunfeng's mind raced.

He also noticed that after the ponytail youth said that, many of the disciples who were watching the commotion looked at him differently.

Many neutral observers, who were just watching the show, began to scrutinize the situation.

"I'm not very clear about things like being promoted to disciple, but I wasn't a disciple of White Emperor City before yesterday. My talent was discovered by the 'Wandering Scholar' yesterday, and I was brought into White Emperor City by the Seventh Elder, the Fifth Elder, and the young lady."

Chu Xunfeng answered neither humbly nor arrogantly. He kept staring at the ponytail youth's expression and saw that the other party unconsciously exerted force when he heard the words "young lady". He was certain of something and sighed softly.

"I can roughly guess why you're targeting me... If you only have this much magnanimity, the young lady would never think highly of you."

A sudden whooshing sound of wind breaking through the air was accompanied by a muffled groan from Chu Xunfeng.

The handsome young man suppressed the surging blood and qi within him, slowly lowered his trembling right hand that had been covering his face, and gripped his nameplate with all his might.

He stared at the ponytail man with a livid face and slowly said, "And... coming to cause trouble for me because of some unfounded things will make even bystanders aware of your narrow-mindedness."

The young man with the ponytail took a few heavy breaths. No matter how arrogant he was, he wouldn't dare to make a move against a fellow disciple who was two realms lower than him in public.

He had just angrily hurled the nameplate at Chu Xunfeng's head. If Chu Xunfeng hadn't blocked it, he would have been locked up in the Enforcement Hall for several months.

"You, very good, surnamed Chu... I'll remember you." The ponytail youth gritted his teeth and casually threw the three manuals in his hand at Chu Xunfeng before turning to leave.
