Nowhere to Hide
Following the sound, Xiao Yan's gaze landed on an energy shield on the left.
"It seems like something is about to come out," Xiao Xun'er said, sensing something.
Just then, a burst of intense red light suddenly shot out from the energy shield, transforming into a streak of light that hurtled towards Xiao Yan and the other four.
"Watch out!" Seeing the red light shooting towards them, the other three, unaware of its nature, quickly dodged.
Xiao Yan suddenly reached forward and, to the astonishment of the others, grabbed the red light in his hand.
Then, the extremely fast red light dissipated, transforming into a crimson scroll that appeared in Xiao Yan's hand.
"High Xuan Tier cultivation technique, the Blazing Flame Art." Holding the red scroll, Xiao Yan read out the name on the scroll's surface.
Upon seeing this, the others suddenly realized that there was a treasure inside the energy shield.
Just then, a series of sounds rang out, and a massive amount of energy burst forth from the energy shield, then moved erratically throughout the huge room.
"This technique is not bad, but it's not what I need." Xiao Yan loosened his grip, and the scroll transformed into a red light once more, merging into the dazzling light of the sky.
Xiao Yan didn't rush to snatch it; instead, he used his excellent soul perception and eyesight to observe the differences in the energy spheres.
Unlike the various colored energy spheres seen by others, the energy spheres Xiao Yan saw were all roughly the same color.
Each energy ball contains a different temperature. Based on the case of obtaining High Xuan Tier cultivation technique from the first energy ball, the higher the temperature, the higher the value.
In Xiao Yan's eyes, there were far fewer energy spheres with higher temperatures than himself, and more energy spheres with lower temperatures.
Without rushing to make a move, Xiao Yan scanned all the energy spheres. The most valuable items in the Library Pavilion were now completely exposed to him.
After careful observation, Xiao Yan finally identified several targets.
Xiao Yan took a step forward, his mysterious steps seemingly accompanied by the roar of a dragon. In a flash, he appeared in front of an energy ball that was flying extremely fast, right before the astonished eyes of the other four.
Although Xiao Yan has not yet fully mastered the ' Dragon Soaring Technique ', he has already grasped the basics and his speed far surpasses that of ordinary Earth Tier techniques, and the energy consumption is extremely low.
With a series of dragon roars, Xiao Yan's figure flashed back to his original spot, and he now held scrolls, medicinal herbs, and other items in his hands.
"Such speed!" Xiao Xun'er looked at Xiao Yan in surprise.
The eerie white light in his eyes faded, and Xiao Yan looked at the item in his hand, smiling as he said, "All the good stuff in the Library Pavilion should be here now."
"The Magic Core of Tier Six Magical Beast, Low Earth Tier Dou Technique, and the Cold Marrow Branch used to refine the Sect-Breaking Pill..."
After selecting them, Xiao Yan kept only two scrolls.
One of them was a pale red scroll with a line of small characters on it: Ninefold Phoenix Flame Art, Mid Earth Tier.
One of them was a light blue scroll with a line of small characters on it. "Dark Water Cold Moon Technique, High Earth Tier".
Xiao Yan was genuinely shocked to obtain High Earth Tier cultivation technique from the Library Pavilion of the Jia Nan Academy.
This level of skill would definitely cause a great sensation even in the Central Plains.
After a brief glance, Xiao Yan tossed the pale red scroll in his hand to Xiao Xun'er and smiled, "This cultivation technique is useless to me. During the selection competition, judging from the ferocity of your Dou Qi spirit, the cultivation technique you are currently practicing is probably only at the Profound Tier."
Xiao Xun'er smiled sweetly, "I just need a transitional cultivation technique right now, and this is perfect."
Xiao Yan stroked the light blue scroll in his hand. "This remaining scroll of cultivation technique can be used by my mother. It's time for her to switch to a more powerful technique."
In the Dou Qi Continent, it's not always better to have a higher-level cultivation technique. You also have to consider your own Dou Qi attributes. Obtaining a high-level cultivation technique that is suitable for you is a very rare thing.
Having obtained the appropriate items, Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er turned and left the Library Pavilion.
After the final simulation, Xiao Yan was filled with other shocks.
Gu Yuan, the Ancient Clan Chief, is Xiao Xun'er's father. The former is of the same generation as Xiao Xuan, the patriarch of the Xiao Clan. That's quite a big gap!
Ancient Clan revered those with the strongest Dou Di Bloodline. Xiao Xun'er's Dou Di Bloodline was just beginning to emerge, so she probably didn't have many good resources yet.
However, even with Xiao Xun'er's awakened Dou Di Bloodline, losing her virginity would still be quite easy...
"It's truly Dou Di Bloodline with mixed strengths and weaknesses," Xiao Yan shook his head slightly.
Perhaps Gu Yuan sent Xiao Xun'er to the Xiao Clan to avoid some fanatical members of the Ancient Clan.
After all, climbing up to Xiao Xun'er's high branch would save him at least two thousand years of struggle, but the special nature of the Dou Di Bloodline made Xiao Xun'er very wary of those things.
Once they arrived at the Xiao Clan, aside from the fact that Xiao Xun'er would grow up to be elegant and otherworldly, which might cause some trouble, they would be safe most of the time.
Watching the five people walk out one after another, Hu Gan, who had been standing in front of the pavilion, chuckled and said, "None of you left empty-handed, right?"
Xiao Yan and the other four nodded.
However, compared to the Earth Tier Cultivation Method that Xiao Yan obtained, the others were not so lucky.
"That's good. Whether it's useful or not, at least we've gained something." Seeing this, Hu Gan chuckled and bowed slightly to the Qian and Bai Elders by the gate. "Since these little ones have come out, I won't disturb your arduous cultivation any longer. Farewell."
The two gray-robed men remained unresponsive to Hu Gan's words, but Hu Gan didn't seem to mind. He waved to Xiao Yan and the others and said, "Come with me. I'll take you to the Inner Academy now."
After leaving the Library Pavilion, Hu Gan led Xiao Yan and the other four to an open space.
The place was already packed with people, who were scattered into many groups of varying sizes, chatting and laughing in hushed tones.
The appearance of Xiao Yan and his group quieted the lively open space slightly, and everyone looked at Xiao Yan with awe.
During the selection competition, Xiao Yan's formidable strength silenced all dissenting voices.
Hu Gan's gaze slowly swept over the forty-five students on the open ground. Counting the five behind him, there were fifty in total. He nodded in satisfaction.
"Dear students, today is the day you enter the Inner Academy. I must congratulate you; your long-term efforts have finally paid off."
"The Inner Academy is the core of the Jia Nan Academy. Due to its secrecy, most instructors in the Outer Academy do not know its exact location. Therefore, we will personally deliver it to you."
Lin Shuiyao, who was accompanying them, nodded in agreement. She didn't know the location of the Inner Academy of the Jia Nan Academy at first. It was only because Xiao Yan had a health problem that she unexpectedly learned how to enter the Inner Academy in advance.
