Chapter 12 Choosing Qigong Methods
The next afternoon, Lin Feng went to the place where he would apply for the assessment of the outer court disciples. After arriving at that place, Lin Feng quickly found the person who would assess him.
It's said to be an assessment, but it's actually very simple. As long as you can lift a 1,000-jin iron ball, that's all. For anyone with a Xuanbing-level cultivation base, this is no more than a trivial matter. However, for an apprentice-level person, this is more difficult than ascending to heaven. After all, even the strongest apprentice at level 9 has only about 500 jin of strength, so how can they possibly lift a 1,000-jin iron ball?
This assessment is a trivial matter even for ordinary Xuanbing-level cultivators, let alone Lin Feng.
So, Lin Feng's assessment went very smoothly and after half an hour, all the formalities were completed. The examiner then gave him a token. Lin Feng knew that this was the identity token of the outer courtyard disciples of Qing Lian Sect. With this token, Lin Feng would be considered as one of the outer courtyard disciples from now on.
After a staff member brought Lin Feng to his new residence and left, Lin Feng carefully examined the luxurious room in front of him. Everywhere was coated with a layer of gold paint, looking both noble and magnificent. Compared to the broken house he used to live in at the Miscellaneous Duties Institute, it was like heaven and earth, and there was no comparison between the two.
Lin Feng, who grew up in the Miscellaneous Pavilion, knew what kind of life the disciples of the Miscellaneous Pavilion lived. Every day, they worked hard to earn money, and the miscellaneous disciples were just workers in the 21st century who worked hard for a living. On the other hand, the outer pavilion disciples did not have to work and could receive fifty taels of silver every month. The only requirement was that as long as you practiced well and strived to reach the Xuan Shi level as soon as possible, you could enter the inner pavilion.
When it comes to the inner courtyard, one can't help but mention the ranking of Qinglan Zong's disciples. The ranking can be divided into three levels: the lowest level is the miscellaneous disciple with the lowest status, followed by the outer courtyard disciple, and then the inner courtyard disciple. The higher the rank, the better the treatment, which is a well-known fact.
All the disciples outside the institute are Xuanbing-level disciples. As long as they break through to the Xuan Shi level, they can apply to become inner court disciples. Inner court disciples not only receive 100 taels of silver every month but also have access to the White Cloud Cave for three hours of cultivation every day.
Baiyun Cave is a place in Qinglan Sect where the energy of heaven and earth is extremely dense. The speed of cultivation there is at least ten times faster than outside, or even a hundred times faster. This terrifying cultivation speed boost makes the outer courtyard disciples work harder to cultivate.
Now that he has become a disciple of the outer courtyard, he can go to the Cangong Pavilion to choose his skills. Thinking of this, Lin Feng's eyes couldn't help but burn with excitement. Those are skills that can increase one's power! With those skills and the Double Enhancement skill, his strength will probably be able to rise by several levels again.
After the actual strength is increased, Laozi directly goes to the Tieshan Mountains to level up and enter the Xuan Shi at the fastest speed. Then he enters the Xuan Jiang. As for that White Cloud Cave, it has no attraction to him. With his qualifications, even if the heaven and earth energy is a hundred times thicker, he will definitely not be able to compare with those geniuses. It's better to level up by killing monsters himself.
He didn't hesitate any longer and walked out of the room, rushing in the direction of the Canggong Hall.
The Gongfa Pavilion houses over a thousand volumes of gongfa, each one unmarked as to its level, so it's extremely difficult to pick out the powerful ones; that would depend entirely on your personal discernment and luck.
Lin Feng's mood was also a mix of excitement and calmness as he entered the Cangong Pavilion, his eyes scanning the rows of bookshelves standing before him, laden with all sorts of martial arts secret manuals.
Walked to the first row and casually picked up a copy of Gongfa.
"Ding, a 'Jin Yun Jue' cultivation technique has been found. Will the host decide to learn it?"
Upon hearing this voice, Lin Feng secretly thought to himself, indeed, the system would have a prompt.
Lin Feng didn't rush either, directly denying it, and slowly started trying one by one, with the system's crisp prompt sound constantly echoing in his mind.
"Ding, found a copy of 'Water True Notes' from the Ordinary Tier Cultivation Method. Will the host decide to learn it?"
"Ding, Found a 'Warehouse of Wooden Classics' cultivation manual. Will the host decide to learn it?"
...
Hearing that so many were ordinary techniques, Lin Feng's heart couldn't help but feel a wave of discontent. Damn it, why are they all ordinary techniques? If this continues, when will I ever find an advanced technique?
But just then, Lin Feng heard a voice that made him slightly delighted.
"Ding, Found Human Cultivation Technique 'Sunset Canon', will the host decide to learn?"
Lin Feng continued to give up, this person's cultivation method was good, but unfortunately it wasn't his cup of tea. He put down the cultivation method in his hand and started again. Since there were human-level cultivation methods, then surely there were also mysterious-level cultivation methods, only they were very rare. If there were many mysterious-level cultivation methods, that wouldn't make sense, as everyone knew that the higher the level of a cultivation method, the rarer it was, this was a universally acknowledged fact.
It was unknown how much time had passed, but Lin Feng had already found nearly five hundred cultivation methods. Logically speaking, he should have found at least one Xuanji cultivation method by now, but for some reason, he couldn't find any no matter what. This made him mutter to himself in frustration. He had already searched through almost a quarter of them and still hadn't found any - could it be that there wasn't even a single Xuanji cultivation method?
Lin Feng shook his head and cast aside this unrealistic idea. He had already found over 40 books on the Human Stage cultivation method, so it was impossible that he didn't have a single one. It was probably just that he hadn't found it yet. And so, he continued to search through them one by one.
However, just as Lin Feng picked up a black skill book, he heard two prompt sounds, which made him stop.
"Ding, a cultivation manual 'Meng Niu Jue' has been found. Will the host decide to learn it?"
"Ding, a fragment of the Body Refining Technique 'Golden Body Tempering Decision' has been discovered. Will the host decide to learn it?"
Lin Feng's face was a bit strange, he had never heard of the existence of a refining body technique in this body's memory. He carefully checked it again and finally found a clue, he discovered that the cover of this technique seemed to be thicker than other techniques, could it be...
Lin Feng didn't think much, directly pulled out the dagger that had been placed at his waist, and slowly cut it open. Suddenly, a piece of skin-like thing appeared from the crack, Lin Feng quickly pulled it out to take a look, it was a sheepskin scroll.
After putting that skill book back in its original place, Lin Feng hid the sheepskin scroll in his clothes and waited until he got back to slowly study it. Now the most important thing is to find the skill.
Finally, when Lin Feng found more than 640 books, he finally heard the sound that almost made him cry.
"Ding, discovered a copy of the Xuanjie Gongfa 'Cangqiong Jue'. Will the host decide to learn it?"
Damn it, I've been searching for so long, and finally found by old man.
After finding a Xuan-level cultivation method, Lin Feng didn't dare to try again. Anyway, the highest level in the Cang Gong Pavilion was the Xuan-level cultivation method, and whether or not he found other Xuan-level cultivation methods didn't have much significance anymore. Having tried five or six hundred cultivation methods, he was already exhausted, and if he had to continue trying, he would probably be driven mad. So, he quickly took this cultivation method to the registration office to register it.
Actually, the Canggong Pavilion only has about a dozen or so Xuanjie Gongfa methods. Lin Feng had to search through over 600 books before finding one Xuanjie Gongfa method, which goes to show that his luck was pretty bad. However, it's not easy to find even one Xuanjie Gongfa method. In the entire outer courtyard, nobody knows if anyone has learned Xuanjie Gongfa methods. Most people have only learned Fangjie Gongfa methods, and those who have learned Renjie Gongfa methods are extremely rare, let alone Xuanjie Gongfa methods.
