Chapter 669: Sacrificial Fire Art (4400 Added)

The Third Layer of the Library Pavilion.

This Library Pavilion is quite large; the first and second layers contain content for Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment, which Disciples are permitted to browse at will.

Upon reaching the Third Layer, which involves many Third-tier secrets, there are restrictions.

Even though Aaron came with a hand-written order from the Sect Master, he could only browse the catalog and then select one technique from it.

Leaving Shen Langtao outside, he entered the reading room to peruse the catalog and summaries, his gaze gradually brightening.

"Not to mention the all-encompassing nature of the cultivation techniques, many of the Secret arts are things I have never even heard of. Is this the foundation of a Nascent Soul sect?"

After browsing, what tempted Aaron the most were the subsequent levels of the 'Mingyu Art', a left-leaning Secret art—the 'Sacrificial Fire Art'—and the inheritance of the Third-tier Four Arts of Cultivation.

After all, if not for the appearance of the 'Lure Fish Pill', there would not be so many cultivators flooding into Ten Thousand Demon Lake.

'Other Immortal Cultivators do not live as long as I do... If one wants to break through cultivation bottlenecks as quickly as possible within a limited lifespan, one can only rely on dumping massive amounts of resources... For instance, if a Three Spirit Roots cultivator wants to achieve Golden Core, they must actually prepare a 'Five Elements Golden Core Pill' to have any hope at all...'

The Four Arts of Cultivation go without saying.

'Sigh... a worker is just a worker...'

"What has happened?"

That Disciple answered with a smile.

Shangong Hall.

Following that, a pitch-black Shadow appeared, accompanied by an influx of information like countless whispers.

This Disciple took the hand-written order and headed deeper into the Library Pavilion to exchange for the Dharma techniques.

He was also very tempted by the Third-tier Four Arts of Cultivation and that 'Sacrificial Fire Art' Secret technique.

Aaron just loves these Secret arts that grow more powerful the longer they are cultivated!

'And the supreme-grade techniques, precious Spirit Medicine, and powerful Dharma Treasures that might exist in Ancient ruins... they would absolutely make cultivators flock there like ducks!'

"However... I still cannot open the passage between the two worlds... but I feel the critical point is not far off..."

'Knowing full well that the rules of Shushan Sword Pavilion are just a carrot in front of a donkey, I still have no choice but to do this...'

The time spent accidentally discovering the ruins might be delayed to the limit.

Of course... at the beginning, the power of this Spirit Fire is only average, but as time is consumed, it will become stronger and stronger.

Aaron walked out of the Library Pavilion and immediately had Shen Langtao lead the way to Shangong Hall.

Although the other party also had Foundation Establishment cultivation, he had already reached the False Core realm, and his appearance was very young—not the kind achieved by taking a Youth Preserving Pill—so his future was clearly much brighter than Shen Langtao's.

'It is very clear... deep within this library building, there must be a late-stage Golden Core or even a Nascent Soul old monster sitting in charge!'

Aaron was flying with such excitement that he even wanted to fly above the clouds to get closer to the sun and stars.

The wind whistled; the speed of a Golden Core Cultivator is by no means comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Does this Mingyu Art technique only have seventeen layers? Or is there a continuation in the Fourth Layer of the Library Pavilion?"

Aaron pointed to a Jade Slip and asked.

"Reporting to Martial Uncle..." This Disciple searched through the data and replied neither servilely nor overbearingly: "This 'Mingyu Art' was originally created by Mingyu Zhenren. This cultivator passed away while still in the early stage of Nascent Soul, so there is indeed no subsequent technique..."

He casually pulled over a Foundation Establishment cultivator with an excited expression nearby and asked.

"Very well, please wait a moment, Martial Uncle."

If nothing else, didn't that Lin Yuanping fall precisely because of this kind of behavior?

After letting that trembling Foundation Establishment cultivator go, a smile appeared at the corner of Aaron's mouth: "Could it be... that I should also run a dungeon next?"

"I see..."

Aaron's expression was gloomy. He did not attempt to communicate with his main body, but prepared to secretly hold the Ritual after returning this time.

If he had this art in hand, the power of the Black Sun Demon Fire might be taken to the next level, and it could also be of great use after achieving Golden Core.

Bang!

The next moment, Aaron crashed down, like a bird with broken wings.

He walked out of the quiet room and summoned a Disciple standing by.

Aaron realized. Although he had always been steady in his style and did not participate in these popular dungeon-running activities, he had seen and heard plenty of them.

"Giant ruins?"

The moment the Array Formation opened, Aaron even felt a sense of hair-raising dread.

Aaron fell into deep thought.

Aaron realized, and even felt that he had a hand in this matter.

Otherwise, although his Jade Bone defense would prevent him from being killed by the fall, becoming the first Golden Core Cultivator in history to fall and injure himself severely did not seem like a very glorious thing.

"The main body... is actively contacting me? It seems... it sensed that I have become stronger again?"

Just at this moment, his expression froze, and infinite fog seemed to appear before his eyes.

He muttered to himself, his brow carrying a trace of heavy, lingering solemnity: "I just didn't expect... the main body to have such plans..."

Aaron immediately dismissed other thoughts. After obtaining the seventeenth layer of the 'Mingyu Art', he asked another question: "As a member of the sect, one can exchange for corresponding Dharma techniques through contributions, right?"

"Then let's exchange for the seventeenth layer of the Mingyu Art first."

'Should I set another small goal: in the future, disguise myself as a newly promoted Golden Core cultivator a few more times to join the sect and fleece this Library Pavilion bald?'

Its concept is to cultivate a powerful Spirit Fire; first, the cultivator needs to refine a Spirit Fire Fire Seed, and then refine it through various methods, which can slowly increase the power of the Spirit Fire.

Upon entering the city, Aaron felt that this city of Immortal Cultivators was vastly different from the past.

That Foundation Establishment cultivator hurriedly bowed: "Reporting to Senior... there is great news! Some cultivators discovered a giant ruin deep within Ten Thousand Demon Lake... it seems to have a history of tens of thousands of years, and it is still guarded by extremely powerful Forbidden Techniques. It is clearly a place with incredibly rich internal resources. If there is a Spirit Medicine Garden... there might even be ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine produced!"

Fortunately, when he was still several hundred meters from the ground, he made a turn and landed steadily in mid-air.

After saying goodbye to Shen Langtao, Aaron flew out of Qianjian Mountain and headed toward Qianyang City.

After all, secret arts and techniques are merely the branches and leaves, while cultivation methods and realms are the main trunk; this order of priority must not be confused.

And the "Sacrificial Fire Art" is a heterodox secret art, even leaning toward the Demon Sect.

"Judging by the fact that the main body can actively contact me, perhaps at the late Golden Core stage, or at the latest upon condensing a Nascent Soul... I can truly open the passage and summon the power of the main body to descend?"

"That is exactly so; Martial Uncle can go to the Shangong Hall, accept missions, earn Goodness Merit, and come to exchange for the corresponding techniques."

Qianyang City.

Aaron did not rashly choose a mission, but first familiarized himself thoroughly with the procedures, then copied down the missions, preparing to go back and study them slowly for a few years first.

In any case, the restrictions on a Guest Deacon are minimal.

But in the end, he sighed and still chose the main cultivation method first.

"Uh... forget it; although that ruin has the richest findings right now, it is also the most dangerous. Whoever wants to go can go, but I am certainly not going."

Not only that, Aaron also went directly to Baifeng Xianzi's Cave Abode, preparing to hoard supplies, gather cultivation resources related to exploring the ruins, and see if he could stir up a wave of speculation to earn another sum of money from the gold diggers!

Furthermore, after the gold digging ends, he can also go to the market to acquire some items from the ruins, profiting from both ends!
