As the two argued, Wei Qing and Jun Wushang arrived at the Fate Pavilion.
Here, one could handle tasks such as accepting and submitting them, exchanging rewards, and changing identities.
"Young Wei, congratulations. You've become the youngest Earth-rank Garrison Commander in the Heavenly Mirror Division."
The manager of the Fate Pavilion, Chen Kang, was an old acquaintance. Chen Kang had been the one to receive Wei Qing and the others every time they submitted tasks before.
"Brother Chen, please don't make fun of me."
As he spoke, he placed ten taels of silver on the counter.
"I have a date tonight, and the minister has arranged a task for me tomorrow. I really can't spare the time to accompany my brothers who are about to die. Please make arrangements for me."
"Alright, Brother won't be polite with you. After your task is finished, we'll drink until we drop."
Chen Kang didn't stand on ceremony and directly accepted the silver.
"Okay, no problem."
Then, Chen Kang took out two new waist tokens. "Please hand in your old waist tokens. We need to destroy them."
"Okay."
Wei Qing and Jun Wushang placed their previously used waist tokens on the counter.
After Chen Kang confirmed they were correct, he casually pressed the second button from the right inside the counter.
Immediately, a rectangular opening slowly appeared.
Then, Wei Qing and Jun Wushang's three waist tokens were dropped into the opening.
After a series of "crunching" sounds, the waist tokens were completely destroyed.
Sign.
Fingerprint.
After receiving their new waist tokens.
Chen Kang took out two more medicine bottles.
He placed one bottle in front of Wei Qing. "This contains Meridian Opening Pills."
He placed the other bottle in front of Jun Wushang. "This contains Qi Gathering Pills."
Sign.
Fingerprint.
The two immediately put the pills into their chests.
Next, Chen Kang took out a key and placed it in front of Wei Qing. "This house is less than a hundred meters from the Wei Residence. Very convenient!"
When saying the word "convenient," Chen Kang deliberately emphasized the tone.
Chen Kang had learned about Wei Qing's situation later by chance.
Because of this, he had specifically chosen this residence for Wei Qing, which was very close to the Wei Residence.
Wei Qing immediately understood the meaning behind his words and clasped his hands in gratitude. "Thank you, Brother Chen."
"It's nothing."
"As for the Cultivation Method, you can go to the Library Pavilion to collect it yourselves later."
As he spoke, he handed two bookmarks, stamped with the seal of the Fate Pavilion, to the two.
Wei Qing and Jun Wushang took the bookmarks and chatted with Chen Kang for a few more sentences before heading to the Library Pavilion.
This was also the first time the two had visited the Library Pavilion.
"Uh... kid."
At the counter of the Library Pavilion, an old man reeking of alcohol took a swig and let out a belch.
Wei Qing and Jun Wushang obediently handed over the bookmarks.
Although they couldn't sense any aura of a martial artist from the old man.
But for such an important place as the Library Pavilion, the Heavenly Mirror Division would surely send a strong expert to guard it.
If they couldn't sense it, it could only mean that the gap between their strength and the old man's was like a chasm!
"Alright, no problem. Pick your own Cultivation Method. You have one hour. Go."
"Yes, senior."
Watching the two leave, a sharp glint flashed in the old man's previously cloudy eyes. "Heh heh, interesting little fellows. While that old ghost Sikong is away, I must find a way to poach these two treasures!"
The Library Pavilion was divided into six floors.
The lower four floors housed Cultivation Method and secret manuals corresponding to the Yellow, Earth, Profound, and Heaven Tiers respectively.
On the fifth floor, it was rumored that there were Innate Grade Cultivation Methods that contained Martial Dao Will.
As for the sixth floor, only the Division Chief of the Heavenly Mirror Division and the Pavilion Master of the Library Pavilion had the qualification to enter.
What exactly was inside?
Besides Your Majesty and the two of them, no fourth person knew.
Wei Qing and Jun Wushang stood in the first-floor lobby, looking up at the spiraling staircase.
"Holy cow, what a display..."
Jun Wushang whistled, his fingertips brushing past the nearest bookshelf.
Thousands of Yellow Grade Cultivation Methods were neatly arranged.
The gilded titles on the spines of the books gleamed under the lights.
Wei Qing and the other man weren't interested in these, and they went straight up the stairs to the second floor.
The entire floor had only one row of rosewood bookshelves.
The bookshelves were divided into upper, middle, and lower tiers.
Cultivation Method tags floated in front of the compartments on each level.
The nine High-grade Profound Tier Cultivation Methods at the very top were enveloped in golden light shields.
Wei Qing's cultivated Returning Origin Art was prominently listed among them.
Jun Wushang suddenly stopped and casually pulled out a purple-covered Spirit Transformation Art.
"Qingzi, I'll ponder here for a while. You go to the third floor."
"Alright."
With that, Wei Qing turned and went up the stairs to the third floor.
The moment he stepped on the last stair, nine luminous pearls lit up in sequence.
Three Star-Gazing Wood tables were arranged in a "品" formation.
On the tables to the left and right, four Cultivation Methods each floated, supported by bronze lamp stands shaped like Xuanwu;
The two Cultivation Methods on the central table were supported by vermilion gold stands shaped like golden dragons.
Wei Qing slowly turned around.
As Wei Qing passed by Hegemon Body Art.
The jade slip suddenly projected a description:
Hegemon Body Art, using the physical body as a weapon for tempering, with the body and defense as the main focus.
Highest realm of refinement: Hegemon Body.
Can instantly mobilize all the strength of the body, increasing physical defense tenfold.
Suitable for close-quarters assassination and defensive martial artists.
After reading the description, Wei Qing continued to the next Cultivation Method.
Six Heavenly Thunder Styles, absorbs lightning power, stores it in the body, the true essence carries the paralyzing and destructive properties of lightning.
The moves can be stacked.
Each stack increases the power by fifty percent.
Demon Subduing Staff
Snow Treading Without Trace
Brahma Art
Wei Qing finally chose Six Heavenly Thunder Styles. Among the ten Earth Grade Cultivation Methods, it was the only Earth Grade Mid-Tier Cultivation Method related to saber techniques.
He then selected two Earth Grade Primary-Tier Cultivation Methods from the ring gifted by Yun Tianheng, planning to give them to Jun Wushang and Zhang Xue.
For Cultivation Methods of Earth Grade Mid-Tier and above, their current meridians couldn't handle it.
Forcing themselves to cultivate would actually harm them.
Earth Grade Primary-Tier was already their limit.
When Wei Qing went downstairs, Jun Wushang had already chosen a Spiral Art Cultivation Method.
Afterward, the two of them made a note at the front desk and turned to leave the Library Pavilion.
The moment their backs disappeared, the door of the Library Pavilion closed by itself without any wind.
When they looked back, the old man's figure had already vanished.
Exiting the Heavenly Realm Division.
Wei Qing raised his hand and flicked it. The key drew a silver arc in the air and landed steadily in Jun Wushang's palm.
"You take Aunt Liu over there to stay first. When we go back later, we'll move directly."
"Okay."
Jun Wushang nodded lightly.
His home was indeed quite small, just two cramped rooms, with no space for Zhang Xue to stay.
Being able to move to a more spacious residence now was a solution to their urgent problem.
The three walked slowly along the bluestone path, wine banners by the street rustling in the evening breeze.
Zhang Xue suddenly tugged at Jun Wushang's sleeve, her voice lowered significantly, "Do you think... Aunt Liu will like me?"
Jun Wushang paused, chuckling softly, "Oh? Is this your first time meeting the in-laws, getting nervous?"
"You brat."
"Our Xue'er is clearly a beautiful bride, watch your words."
Jun Wushang immediately felt a sharp pain in his ear.
