Choosing a Cultivation Method

"Disciple Shen Long greets Sect Mistress and Martial Uncle Huang."

Shen Long bowed respectfully.

"Nephew Shen, don't worry. Since the establishment of the Thousand Spirits Sect, you are the first cultivator to ascend from the Spirit Control Sect of the Gan Yang Realm to the Lingxu Realm. Naturally, we must be more cautious."

Mo Bingbing said in a gentle tone.

"Aunt Mo, may I have the honor of seeing the Grandmaster?"

Shen Long's face was full of anticipation.

"Master is in seclusion. I will inform him when I have the chance. You should focus on your cultivation first. Junior Brother Huang, arrange a cave dwelling for Nephew Shen. His treatment will be better than that of other ascended cultivators."

Mo Bingbing gave the instructions.

"Yes, Senior Sister Mo."

Huang Lei readily agreed and said to Shen Long, "Nephew Shen, come with me to the Scripture Depository to choose a Cultivation Method! Then I'll arrange a cave dwelling for you."

If it were an ordinary ascended cultivator, he wouldn't need to personally intervene; he could simply send a Spirit Transmutation Realm steward to handle the matter.

Shen Long ascended from the Spirit Control Sect, and according to seniority, he is the grand-disciple of True Monarch Spirit Control, so his treatment is naturally different.

"Thank you for your help, Uncle Huang."

Shen Long expressed his gratitude.

"You are Uncle Wu's grand-disciple and an ascended cultivator, so you are naturally different from other Spirit Transformation cultivators. Come with me!"

Huang Lei spoke gently and led Shen Long away from the place.

"Senior Sister Mo, the information Nephew Shen provided is very valuable. Both the Big Dipper Pavilion and the Heaven Origin Race have sent people to search for Cai Lei. It's estimated that Cai Lei must have something very precious on him, otherwise they wouldn't have sent people Lower Realm the mortal realm to fight in the Yin Underworld Realm."

Wang Yuyan said.

She asked about the situation in the Lower Realm, and Shen Long briefly explained the Realm War.

Cai Lei couldn't hide it, after all, the disciples of the Big Dipper Pavilion and the cultivators of the Heaven Origin Race all Lower Realm for Cai Lei's sake.

Of course, Shen Long told Wang Yuyan this on the way.

Wang Yuyan used the Spirit Testing Array to ask questions, only inquiring about Shen Long 'Shen Long came from the Spirit Control Sect. Everyone has their own secrets.

"We don't have treasures like the Realm-Breaking Disk, nor do we have high-level Secret Talisman or special Formation. We can't send anyone Lower Realm lower realm, so knowing about this is useless to us. The gap between us and the Big Dipper Pavilion is quite large, so it's best not to get involved."

Mo Bingbing said.

Wang Yuyan nodded, chatted for a few words, and then withdrew.

A Giant Valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, inside which stands a nine-story pavilion with the three golden characters "Scripture Depository" on its plaque. Many disciples come and go.

On the fifth floor, dozens of Spirit Transformation cultivators were searching for ancient texts. Zhang Qing table was placed at the top of the stairs, Huang Lei sat behind it, while an elderly man in a blue robe with a ruddy complexion stood beside him.

Shen Long stood in front of a blue bookshelf, on which were placed a large number of Jade Slip, each of Jade Slip was engraved with a serial number.

He picked up a Cyan Jade Slip and immersed his Divine Sense into it.

"The Green Ape Precious Canon, created by the Master Green Ape, consists of eighteen levels and can be cultivated from the Qi Refining stage to the Late Void Refining."

"The Fire Qilin Technique requires the Essence Blood of Demon Beast with the bloodline of the Fire Qilin to aid in its cultivation. When cultivated to its best, one can transform into Fire Qilin Beast to fight enemies."

"The Thousand Insects True Scripture comes with several secret techniques to facilitate the subjugation of Spirit Insect."

······

Shen Long examined the contents of several Jade Slip, but was not satisfied with any of them.

These Cultivation Method are largely similar, and their cultivation conditions are not particularly demanding, making them quite different from the <Heavenly Demon True Scripture>.

Two hours later, Shen Long returned to Huang Lei with a disappointed look on his face and politely asked, "Uncle-Master Huang, are all the Cultivation Method that I can choose from here?"

"No, that's not it. There's also the Thousand Spirits Secret Manual, but only a few people, like Uncle Wu and Senior Sister Mo, are qualified to cultivate this Cultivation Method. If you want to cultivate the Thousand Spirits Secret Manual, you'll need to make exceptionally great contributions. Tell Nephew Li what kind of Cultivation Method you're looking for; he knows all the books here inside and out."

Huang Lei said.

"Senior Brother Li, I want to cultivate the Transformation Art, preferably one that allows me to transform into various Demon Beast forms to fight enemies."

Shen Long said.

"Junior Brother Shen is talking about the Hundred Beasts Precious Canon, right? I'm reading it right now."

A loud male voice rang out.

A burly man in a golden robe walked over, holding a Golden Jade Slip in his hand.

"My name is Liu Xuan, and I pay my respects to Martial Uncle Huang."

The burly man in the golden robe bowed and handed the Jade Slip to Shen Long.

Shen Long scanned the area with his divine sense, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.

The "Hundred Beasts Precious Canon" has twenty-one levels. Every three levels can be mastered to learn a Transformation Art. The first three levels require the Essence Blood of a first-tier Monster Ape for assistance in cultivation, while the fourth to Sixth Floor require the Essence Blood of a second-tier Monster Eagle for assistance.

To be honest, the "Hundred Beasts Precious Canon" is a pretty good Cultivation Method, but its cultivation conditions are not as good as the "Heavenly Demon True Scripture," and its Divine Ability are also inferior.

The first three levels of the "Hundred Beasts Precious Canon" borrow some of the Divine Ability of the Spirit Ape, while the first three levels of the "Heavenly Demon True Scripture" can unleash some of the Divine Ability of the Mountain Giant Ape. The two are incomparable.

"I will cultivate the Hundred Beasts Precious Canon! My name is Shen Long, thank you, Senior Brother Liu."

Shen Long said.

The old man in the green robe quickly copied the contents, handed a Cyan Jade Slip to Shen Long, and said, "This is the Hundred Beasts Precious Canon, containing the cultivation methods for the first fifteen levels. If you advance to the Void Refining stage, go upstairs to exchange for the cultivation methods for the sixteenth to eighteenth levels."

"Thank you very much, Senior Brother Li."

Shen Long thanked him and accepted the Jade Slip.

"Alright, now that you've chosen your Cultivation Method, let me take you to select your cave dwelling!"

Huang Lei got up and walked downstairs, Shen Long quickly followed.

The old man in the green robe breathed a sigh of relief and sat down in the chair.

"Senior Brother Li, what's the background of this Junior Brother Shen? How come he's able to have Uncle Huang personally guide him in choosing a cave dwelling?"

Liu Xuan asked curiously.

"He's probably a newly accepted disciple! Perhaps his skills are superb, or he has exceptional talent!"

"That's what the old man in the green robe guessed," he said.

At the foot of a steep mountain peak stands a silver stone tablet over a hundred feet tall, inscribed with the three large characters "Golden Roc Peak".

There are many buildings on the mountain, and at the top of the mountain is a vast manor. Shen Long and Huang Lei are sitting in a Cyan Stone Pavilion.

"Nephew Shen, how is Golden Roc Peak? The original owner advanced to the Void Refining stage and moved to a better cave dwelling."

Huang Lei asked.

"This place is quite nice; I'll stay here. Thank you, Uncle-Master Huang."

Shen Long expressed his gratitude.

"You should rest here for now. Tomorrow I'll have my disciple bring you the entry benefits, and he'll show you around the Thousand Spirits Sect."

After saying this, Huang Lei transformed into a Escape Light and disappeared.

Shen Long arrived at the entrance of a nine-story Golden Pavilion, with the three large characters "Golden Roc Pavilion" written on the plaque.

Shen Long entered a secret room. Inside, there was a magic array that was a hundred feet in size, with hundreds of empty slots.

With a flick of his sleeve, hundreds of High-Grade Spirit Stone flew out and landed in the groove.

He took out a square Golden Token, infused it with Law Power, and a golden light flew out from the token and disappeared into the magic array.

The magic array trembled slightly, the runes shone brightly, and the restrictions of the Golden Roc Garden were activated.

"We've finally settled down."

Shen Long muttered to himself.
