After returning from the boat mission.

Lu Changfeng returned to the peaceful days at the Hall of Worship.

With the Wang Family's current supreme power in Fengcheng, the Wang Family's Worshippers actually had very few and easy missions, and they were mostly not dangerous.

Because no one was willing to incur the wrath of the Wang Family.

Lu Changfeng asked the other Worshippers in the Hall of Worship. On average, they only went on missions once a month, and sometimes it would be two or three months before a mission came up.

Therefore, early the next morning, Lu Changfeng prepared to head to the Scripture Pavilion, which the Wang Family opened to Worshippers.

Being able to view the martial arts collected by the Wang Family was one of the requirements for Lu Changfeng to join the Wang Family and become a Worshipper.

Since the cooldown for copying was long, Lu Changfeng planned to thoroughly cultivate all of the Wang Family's martial arts during his Worshipper career.

With his martial arts talent, he could easily get started with many techniques.

By accumulating small amounts, he would naturally increase his strength as he acquired more skills.

Lu Changfeng made his way to the Scripture Pavilion.

The elder at the Scripture Pavilion was an old cultivator in the Blood Tempering Realm. After checking Lu Changfeng's Worshipper token and identity, he allowed Lu Changfeng to enter.

The Scripture Pavilion had only two floors. The first floor contained techniques and martial arts for the Blood Tempering Realm, and the second floor contained techniques and martial arts for the Muscle Tendon Realm.

Lu Changfeng first went through the first floor.

There were a total of sixteen Blood Tempering techniques and nearly a hundred martial arts techniques.

The sheer number of techniques demonstrated the Wang Family's power.

Lu Changfeng selected two martial arts techniques for his daily cultivation: the fist technique [Great Ape Arm Fist] and the saber technique [Bloodthirsty Saber].

Both techniques were considered difficult to cultivate within the Scripture Pavilion and were among the highest-ranked martial arts techniques there.

They were considered high-quality among the Blood Tempering Realm martial arts.

For example, [Bloodthirsty Saber], when cultivated to perfection, should be much more powerful than the Falling Leaf Saber Technique.

There was no specific ranking for Blood Tempering Realm martial arts, but Lu Changfeng could discern their quality based on his own experience.

As for the Blood Tempering Realm techniques, Lu Changfeng glanced at them, and they were not much different from [Mount Le's Wrathful Vajra].

Perhaps the Wang Family had better Blood Tempering techniques that were not placed in the Scripture Pavilion.

After selecting the two martial arts, Lu Changfeng went upstairs to the second floor.

He was currently at the sixth level of the Blood Tempering Realm and could enter the Muscle Tendon Realm at any time. There was no harm in looking at the Muscle Tendon Realm techniques in advance.

The collection on the second floor was much simpler.

There were five Muscle Tendon Realm internal energy cultivation techniques and twenty-six Muscle Tendon Realm martial arts techniques.

Lu Changfeng first browsed the Muscle Tendon Realm martial arts techniques.

Muscle Tendon Realm martial arts were vastly different from those of the Blood Tempering Realm. This was because Muscle Tendon Realm martial arts involved internal energy, and the application of internal energy was incorporated into the moves. Therefore, they were completely unsuitable for Blood Tempering Realm martial artists to cultivate.

After flipping through a few, Lu Changfeng lost interest.

It was foreseeable that he would remain in the Blood Tempering Realm for a considerable period in the future.

Therefore, these Muscle Tendon martial arts would be unusable for him in the short term.

Lu Changfeng then looked at the five Muscle Tendon Realm internal energy cultivation techniques.

The quality of an internal energy cultivation technique could be determined by the initial number of meridians it opened.

Lu Changfeng took a rough look. The initial number of meridians opened for all five Muscle Tendon Realm internal energy cultivation techniques was around twenty.

The highest one opened twenty-four meridians, which was slightly better than the Muscle Tendon internal energy technique passed down to Lu Changfeng by his master, Zhang Desheng.

He briefly glanced at the initial steps of Muscle Tendon Realm internal energy cultivation.

Lu Changfeng then put down the techniques in his hands.

"Hmm?"

Just as he was about to leave, Lu Changfeng noticed a book lying horizontally on the bookshelf.

Because the book's cover was made of black, unknown beast hide, it was easy to overlook its existence.

Lu Changfeng reached out and took the book down. A lot of dust had accumulated on its cover.

Lu Changfeng brushed off the dust and gently opened the booklet.

On the first page of the booklet were four large characters: [Seven Styles of Fengtian].

It seemed to be a martial arts technique.

Lu Changfeng continued to flip through. The second page was a nine-square grid, depicting the practice method of a saber technique through illustrations and text.

The following nine pages detailed the progression of the saber technique.

It was divided into nine levels.

The weight of the saber used in each level increased during practice, with the final level even reaching an astonishing 999 jin.

"Is this something a person can actually cultivate?"

Curiosity drove Lu Changfeng to continue flipping through.

The subsequent content was actually a cultivation method for the Muscle Tendon Realm!

"Initial breakthrough requires opening eighty-one channels?"

"Can anyone even do that?"

It was known that if one failed to break through the Muscle Tendon Realm, it would damage the meridians. On the second attempt, they might have to switch cultivation methods, and in more severe cases, the meridians could be too damaged to ever reach the Muscle Tendon Realm.

I can do it!

A voice in Lu Changfeng's heart told him.

As long as he completed the previous nine layers of saber technique practice, he might actually be able to cultivate this martial arts technique!

Lu Changfeng continued to flip through.

Seven Styles of Fengtian, First Style, Yellow Heaven Style!

Besides these few words on the book, the rest was blank.

And this was already the last page of the booklet.

Lu Changfeng thought for a moment, then took the book downstairs and found the old man in the Scripture Pavilion.

"Senior, do you know about this [Seven Styles of Fengtian]?"

The old man looked up at the booklet in Lu Changfeng's hand and said, "Oh? Of course, I know it."

"This is an old relic of our Fengcheng; no one knows where it came from anymore."

"But don't believe it. If you really cultivate according to what's written, your body will definitely be ruined."

"This cultivation method was probably written by some scumbag novel writer trying to harm people. It's written quite convincingly, though."

The old man said with a sigh, as if he had suffered a loss from this cultivation method in his younger days.

Lu Changfeng thought for a moment before speaking, "Can I make a copy?"

"Of course, no problem."

"It's fine for reading like a storybook, but don't try to cultivate it."

The old man took the [Seven Styles of Fengtian] from Lu Changfeng and copied the first few pages.

He didn't copy the last page because, apart from the words 'Yellow Heaven Style,' there was nothing else.

"Alright, here's the copy. You can leave now," the old man said.

Lu Changfeng nodded and looked at the last page of the [Seven Styles of Fengtian] open on the table in front of the old man. A thought suddenly struck him.

"Senior, let me put the book back for you."

"Oh? Thank you very much! That saves me the trouble of climbing the stairs!"

The old man handed over the [Seven Styles of Fengtian].

Lu Changfeng took it and walked towards the second floor.

In front of the bookshelf on the second floor.

Lu Changfeng reopened the [Seven Styles of Fengtian] to the last page.

'Seven Styles of Fengtian, First Style, Yellow Heaven Style!'

It was still these few words, with a blank space beneath them.

Lu Changfeng took a slight breath and circulated a force within his body as if commanding his own limbs!

Saber Intent! Falling Leaf Saber Intent!

Hum.

A few ripples appeared on the book's surface, caused by the Saber Intent.

Other than that, there was no change.

Lu Changfeng was slightly disappointed. He had a feeling this cultivation method was more than just a simple novel.

Never mind, he'd go back and try cultivating it.

If it really didn't work out, he could always come back to copy the [Great Ape Arm Fist] and the saber technique [Bloodthirsty Saber].
