Chapter 18: Shocking the World (1)

  His gaze suddenly froze! Chang Sheng didn't expect that this old man in front of him would have such a venomous gaze, and could actually estimate the weight on his body with just one glance. It seems that every cultivator who has reached the Nourishing Soul stage or above is not to be underestimated! He respectfully said: "Senior's praise is too kind, junior doesn't dare to accept it."

  The old man nodded gently and said, "Not arrogant, not impatient, calm and steady. Very good!" As soon as he finished speaking, he casually swept his spiritual sense, and suddenly his eyes became sharp, and his body also stood up with it.

  "You've actually succeeded in building your foundation?! You're only nine years old?!" The old man couldn't help but exclaim.

  Chang Sheng didn't know how to respond for a moment, because Master had told him not to reveal that he had successfully built his foundation. Not even when Pang Hai and the other two came to chat with Chang Sheng over the past few days did he let slip anything.

  Never thought that today, coming to the library would run into a strong practitioner of the Soul Nourishing Period. Master had told him before, all practitioners of the Soul Nourishing Period have already opened up their soul ability and possess spiritual awareness. They can use their soul energy to observe everything within a hundred feet around them.

  Just as Changsheng was about to speak, the old man opposite him had a slight pause in his expression, then recovered naturally and said warmly: "So you were actually taken in by Master Huoyan as a closed-door disciple, no wonder you succeeded in building your foundation at the age of nine. Since you have such good fortune, you must cherish it well, do you understand? You can go in now, but the martial arts manuals inside, you can only browse, not take away."

  Changsheng knew that it must have been the master who had helped him out. He nodded his head and paid his respects to the old man, then walked directly into the entrance of the second floor. The old man was left sitting there alone, sighing to himself, but Changsheng didn't know what he was sighing about.

  Entering the second floor, Chang Sheng saw that it was indeed no different from what he had heard outside. The entire space was less than thirty square meters in area.

  There was no bookshelf, only a set of rosewood furniture, on which seven secret skill manuals were neatly placed.

  The secret manual was made from a beast skin, which was not ordinary at first glance. The faint glow on it told Chang Sheng that it was the luster that only the fur of an eighth-order spiritual beast had. This beast skin could be used for tens of thousands of years without damage or decay. Almost all sects would use this precious beast skin to make secret manuals.

  Chang Sheng walked up to the table and observed these seven secret books. According to the names carved on the covers of the secret books, Chang Sheng understood that among these seven secret books, each had one five-element attribute method secret book, and the other two were ice-attribute method secret book and wind-attribute method secret book.

  He picked up the "Flame Spirit Manual" and sat down in a chair beside him. As he flipped through it, the first line of text that caught his eye was an introduction to the fire attribute, which read: "Fire, one of the sources of heaven and earth, sometimes light and ethereal, sometimes fleeting, sometimes violent, sometimes scorching hot. When encountering fire, it burns fiercely; when encountering water, it dissolves..."

  This ancient book only has the first layer of Gongfa, which can only be cultivated to the foundation. The operation route of the first layer of Gongfa is actually circulating in the nine acupoints around the heart. These acupoints can even build a bridge with the heart, allowing the fire-element true energy to enter the heart and circulate for one circle before returning to the acupoint and finally returning to the Dan Tian Qi Hai. According to the notes later on, the heart belongs to fire, only when the heart fire is not extinguished, can blood be continuously created, and vitality will become stronger!
