Selection Complete

Nalan Chenfeng's tense, handsome face relaxed considerably, a flicker of delight passing through his eyes as the corners of his mouth rose.

A fire-attributed cultivation method of Mid Earth Tier or above could greatly increase cultivation speed after conversion. That was one of his main reasons for coming to Jia Nan Academy.

Although the Heavenly Flame Art before him had not reached High Earth Tier, obtaining it smoothly in Jia Nan Academy's Library Pavilion already made this trip worthwhile.

One had to know that in the empires of the Northwest Continent and the regions surrounding the Black-Corner Region, cultivation methods above Earth Tier were often priceless and unavailable.

A cultivation method above Earth Tier was enough to trigger a scramble among all factions, let alone one of Mid Earth Tier.

Every increase in cultivation method rank was a qualitative leap.

"Before reaching Dou Zong, I won't have to worry about cultivation methods anymore..."

Nalan Chenfeng's gaze sharpened. He reached out and firmly gripped the red scroll radiating scorching fluctuations.

There were still around ten minutes before it was time to leave the Library Pavilion. He would do his best to search for a High Earth Tier cultivation method.

But before finding a cultivation method of that rank, he would not throw away the Heavenly Flame Art. Otherwise, he would lose the chicken and the rice besides, trapping himself in his own cocoon.

Inside the spacious room, Lin Xiuya and the others stared intently at the red scroll in Nalan Chenfeng's hand, their eyes filled with envy.

Judging from the dense fire-attributed energy fluctuations just now, what Nalan Chenfeng held had to be a cultivation method or Dou Technique above Earth Tier.

And seeing Nalan Chenfeng's satisfied expression, the former was more likely.

Everyone had essentially come to Jia Nan Academy and entered this Library Pavilion for the same purpose.

Cultivation methods could increase cultivation speed, while Dou Techniques could only boost one's strength to a certain extent. Comparing the two, everyone knew which one to choose.

"I still have to give it another try."

Lin Xiuya muttered, his handsome face growing even more solemn.

Just now, he had found a Low Earth Tier wind-attributed Dou Technique, but it was not what he wanted.

Without any hesitation, Lin Xiuya moved again. His steps were graceful as he reached for an energy sphere flying through the air.

They were not Dou Ling cultivators and did not possess the ability to remain suspended in midair for a short time. Nalan Chenfeng's method of choosing was not suitable for them.

Simply catching the energy spheres in midair was already so difficult. Grabbing the things embedded in the walls was even more impossible.

Lin Yan, who had just smashed his head bloody, was the perfect example.

Liu Qing said nothing. After glancing back at Nalan Chenfeng, he resumed his actions.

They had both entered the Library Pavilion. If someone else could obtain a cultivation method above Earth Tier, he refused to believe he could not find what he wanted.

"Could it be that only Dou Ling strength meets the standard for entering this Library Pavilion..."

Lin Yan scratched his head, a thoughtful look flashing through his eyes.

Having just been blasted away by the energy barrier, he understood the difficulty of taking something from within. Nalan Chenfeng had been able to enter because of the gap in their strength.

However, that collision had not been for nothing. Soon afterward, he obtained a High Mystic Rank Dou Technique, which could serve as his fallback gain from entering the Library Pavilion this time.

Having a Dou Technique was better than leaving the Library Pavilion empty-handed.

"Did you find something..."

Seeing the smile on Nalan Chenfeng's lips, Han Yue smiled faintly as well, then her gaze became resolute again.

Her talent and strength could not compare to Nalan Chenfeng's, but she would not easily give up this one and only opportunity.

Nalan Chenfeng smiled back at Han Yue, then did not linger and continued searching according to his previous method.

Time passed second by second.

Lin Xiuya, Liu Qing, and the others darted back and forth through the room, constantly grabbing light spheres shot out from the energy barriers, then constantly discarding them.

"Another High Mystic Rank..."

Liu Qing frowned tightly and casually tossed aside the yellow light sphere he had caught. Without stopping, he continued chasing the next streak of light.

Lin Xiuya's expression was not relaxed either, a layer of fine sweat appearing on his face.

He had just caught another Low Earth Tier Dou Technique, but what he needed most right now was an Earth Tier cultivation method to bridge the gap.

Dou Qi cultivation methods were the foundation of cultivation.

No matter how powerful a Dou Technique was, without sufficient Dou Qi to support it, it was nothing more than a tree without roots.

On the Dou Qi Continent, strength reigned supreme. Cultivation level was what mattered most.

No matter how formidable a Dou Ling might be, even if he used an Earth Tier Dou Technique, he could never be a match for a Dou Emperor.

Bang!

Lin Yan was knocked back by an energy sphere once more. He staggered back several steps, anger rising in his heart.

"Damn it, this stupid thing..."

Lin Yan cursed, but he was no longer as stubborn as before. He obediently switched targets and continued pursuing the flashing light spheres.

Clang!

Han Yue's slender figure traced a graceful arc through the air. Her jade-like hand shot out and caught another energy sphere emitting a pale blue glow.

Looking through the light curtain, Han Yue saw the words on the scroll within, and her pretty face dimmed slightly.

"High Mystic Rank..."

Han Yue sighed and tossed away the light sphere. She lightly tapped the wall with her toes, borrowed the force to launch herself forward, and continued searching.

By now, she had already given up on finding an Earth Tier cultivation method. Even an Earth Tier Dou Technique would be better than returning empty-handed.

Ice was already a rare attribute. For someone with her attribute, finding a cultivation method above Earth Tier was simply far too difficult.

The rule of Jia Nan Academy's Library Pavilion was that each person could only take away one item, provided they could obtain it.

Time swiftly passed.

After a while, Nalan Chenfeng had examined the items within more than a dozen energy barriers in succession, yet he still had not found a single High Earth Tier cultivation method.

"Hm..."

Suddenly, Nalan Chenfeng's gaze shifted toward a recess at the deepest part of the wall.

That energy barrier was concealed behind a protruding stone pillar. Without looking carefully, one would never notice it.

The glow of that energy barrier was extremely faint, nearly transparent, as though it might extinguish at any moment.

Following the uneven positions along the wall where the energy barriers were stored, Nalan Chenfeng shifted his way over. Without hesitation, he thrust his hand directly inside.

Whoosh!

An icy blue light shot out from the energy barrier. Cold air spread through the room, and Nalan Chenfeng felt the surrounding temperature suddenly drop several degrees.

However, its power was clearly far weaker than when Nalan Chenfeng had obtained the Heavenly Flame Art.

"Ice attribute..."

Nalan Chenfeng froze for a moment, then swiftly closed his fingers around the light sphere and gripped it tightly.

The light faded, revealing an icy blue scroll within. A thin layer of frost covered its surface, while faint snowflakes seemed to drift across it.

"Mystic Frost Art, Low Earth Tier."

Nalan Chenfeng softly read the words on the scroll, the corners of his mouth lifting.

An ice-attributed Earth Tier cultivation method was of no use to him, but it would be useful to Han Yue. It still counted as a gain.

Given how close the two of them were now, he could give it to Han Yue as a gift. It was only a small effort anyway.

"Time is almost up. This will do..."
