Escort Chief Lin), went up to the fifth floor in one breath. Although he didn't pay much attention, he could still feel that the atmosphere was completely different from that of the Leiyin Temple's Sutra Repository.

The Leiyin Temple's scripture pavilion looks more like a treasure vault, with each book carefully preserved, but very few people can actually browse through it. Even lay disciples like them, who can access the floor, always come and go quickly, choosing their martial arts techniques and leaving immediately, as if afraid that you might linger and steal something.

Inside the Xuanjun Pavilion, however, the atmosphere was quite leisurely. Many people could be seen standing in front of the bookshelves with books in their hands, and the lighting inside the pavilion was specially designed so that even in the most remote corner, there was enough light for people to read.

Escort Chief Lin frowned slightly as he looked at the books on the bookshelves on both sides. Most of the books here were things like "Illustrated Heavenly Demon Compendium," "Gu Aspect Decomposition," and "Eight Methods of Flowing Poison," which seemed to be related to the Demonic Cult sect and its Demonic Person. However, he did not find the original text of "Heavenly Demon All Forms Fist," let alone the original text that was said to have been left behind by Xuanjun himself.

After a slight hesitation, he walked towards a man in yellow robes standing in front of a bookshelf selecting books not far away. He had only taken a few steps when the man seemed to notice him. Lin, Escort Chief Lin escort), immediately slowed down, stopping when they were about five meters apart, and said:

"Young hero, I wish to borrow the manual for the Heavenly Demon All Forms Fist, but I cannot find it. Do you know where it is?"

"Oh, you've come to see the 'original' one, right? Over there. But be careful, although private duels are not allowed here, there are always some exchanges of energy. Be careful not to be injured by the leaked energy of others, and don't overreact."

The man in yellow was very kind and pointed the direction to Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin wanted to say that I just wanted to read the boxing manual, but he remembered that he could buy secret books on the first floor downstairs before. He knew that there might not be ordinary boxing manuals here at all. While he secretly thought that he had made a mistake, he also became very interested in the "original" that can trigger the interaction between Qi and Qi.

Following the direction pointed out by the man in yellow, Lin, Escort Chief Lin), passed through several bookshelves and saw a rather plain double wooden door. The words "Original Text of the Heavenly Demon All Forms Fist" were engraved on the door, and a sign hung on it that read "Close the door when you leave."

Is this the place?

Escort Chief Lin(bodyguard/escort), stepped forward, pushed open the door, and closed it according to the sign at the entrance. Only then did he activate his Body Protection Gang Qi and walk forward. It was a fairly large room, where many martial arts practitioners were exchanging ideas. When Escort Chief Lin heard their conversation, he suddenly noticed that there were actually pictures carved on the walls of the room.

He turned his head sharply and saw a demon painted on the wall beside him. Its arms were like snakes, it had wings under its ribs, and its beastly eyes were terrifying. The demon was about to pounce, and it was as if a gust of wind swept over it with its movement.

Escort Chief Lin), felt a tremendous shock, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

In Escort Chief Lin's eyes, the moment he locked eyes with that demon, the painting ceased to be a painting, but became a real demon.

"First time here?" A calm yet authoritative voice rang out, pulling Escort Chief Lin out of his terror. He gasped for breath, no longer daring to look at the pictures on the wall, and turned his head to look at the person who had spoken.

This was a middle-aged man who looked to be around forty years old, but his beard and hair were already gray. He looked at Escort Chief Lin bodyguard), with a smile, and before Lin could speak, he spoke first:

"There are 108 Heavenly Demon Aspects in this room, each with its own unique charm. It is said that the essence of these depictions was comprehended by Xuanjun after he slew countless Demonic Cult Demonic Person. The so-called Heavenly Demon All Forms Fist refers to the experience gained from observing these paintings, feeling the pressure and intent of the demons, and engaging in combat with them. Judging from your appearance, you probably came to see the original without looking at the manual, didn't you?"

Escort Chief Lin /escort), was somewhat embarrassed by what was said, but still nodded in acknowledgment. The middle-aged man, seeing this, maintained his calm smile and said:

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm the same way. But it's really not a problem. A master has his own methods for practicing boxing. If you just follow the boxing manual, you'll get twice the results with half the effort."

"Please enlighten me, senior." Escort Chief Lin, immediately bowed. He had already recognized that the "middle-aged man" in plain clothes in front of him was Yuanqingzi, the Grand Elder of True Martial Temple Renowned Master was over ninety years old.

"I wouldn't presume to offer guidance." Yuanqingzi waved his hand, took Escort Chief Lin a few steps, gestured for him to look at the other martial arts practitioners, and then said:

"Now that you've reached the Grandmaster realm, you must know how to use your Spiritual Sense, right?"

"Yes, it is possible, but because it is easily corrupted by the Demonic Cult Demonic Person, it is not very proficient." Escort Chief Lin, shook his head. Two hundred years ago, Spiritual Sense was considered another characteristic of a grandmaster besides flawless qi. However, nowadays, even the Qi Gazing Technique can be corrupted by demonic energy, let alone using Spiritual Sense to fight. Back then, Xuanxin Pavilion was one of the first sects to be destroyed by the Demonic Cult Demonic Person because it was proficient in this art.

"It's alright, as long as you can do it, you'll be fine. Use the method of Spiritual Sense combat to observe these demonic forms and learn how to deal with them. When you can calmly deal with the 108 forms in this room, you'll have completed your own Heavenly Demon All Forms Fist. However, it's not easy. I've been here for three months and have only managed to comprehend three fist techniques."

Yuanqingzi shook his head as he finished speaking, but his eyes held a hint of admiration. Upon hearing this, Escort Chief Lin looked at the portrait on the wall again. With the old Daoist's reminder, this time, when the illusory image of the Heavenly Demon pounced, his Spiritual Sense also threw a punch in his mind.

The illusory demon seemed to be alive, dodging his "attack," and a serpentine tail coiled up from behind his head. Lin, Escort Chief Lin), suddenly turned to the side, trying to block, but a sharp pain came from his chest.

"Huff, huff..." Suddenly waking from the "illusion" of mental battle, Escort Chief Lin somewhat understood how the young grandmaster had mastered such a strange and bizarre fist technique. However, just how powerful was this Xuanjun's cultivation to be able to capture the Heavenly Demon Aspects in a painting?

"The bottles on the sixth floor are almost used up." Old Li's reminder rang in Feng Xue's ears from the hidden tenth floor of the Xuanjun Pavilion. Upon hearing this, Feng Xue's face fell. She reached behind her waist, pulled out a delicate little yellow bottle, walked to a metal plate, and replaced the somewhat faded bottle on it, saying with a hint of helplessness:

"Aren't these martial arts practitioners working way too hard, neglecting their meals and sleep?"

"Isn't it good that they're working day and night? If this Xuanjun Weird Tale were to materialize, it would probably be a national-level behemoth." Old Li said with a "you Versailles" look on his face, somewhat resentfully. Feng Xue sighed upon hearing this.

"I'm afraid that before I can even condense the Weird Tale, I'll run out of bottles!"

"Just collect more when you run out, it's not like it's a non-renewable resource," Old Li said with a slightly sour tone. Feng Xue simply shook her head, not responding, and instead asked:

"What brings you here? Are you abandoning your Yuelai Inn?"

"My side is already on track. At the current rate of expansion, we should be able to condense the Supernatural Tale Entry within two years. As expected of another world, the speed of condensing Trait is indeed faster than in the real world!" Old Li said with considerable excitement. Feng Xue, however, was surprised and said:

Two years?

"Yes, after all, we still need to control the spread of information..." At this point, Old Li's expression suddenly turned serious, and he solemnly said to Feng Xue:

"Speaking of which, you don't seem to have ever controlled any Weird Tale information, have you?"

"Who said that? I've also written setting guides and stuff for Weird Tale..." Feng Xue immediately retorted, but Old Li shook his head and said:

"I'm not talking about that, but rather about proactively slowing down the spread, controlling the situation, and reducing redundancy. Although you're currently gathering high-intensity Weird Tale, you can't be this lucky forever. If some strange problem causes the spread to go astray, you'll be in for a world of trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Xue immediately suppressed her Versailles-like aura, and the doubt that had been lingering in her mind was finally voiced.

"Speaking of which, I've always wanted to ask this: what if we end up with unwanted or troublesome supernatural Supernatural Tale Entry?"
