One hour later.
Ji Ning and the others, who had just received the "Yinglong Guard Badge", followed Yu Lanyu to a magnificent palace with carved railings and painted beams. The palace was about 100 meters high and covered an area of nearly 1,000 meters.
"This is the Dao Cang Palace." Yu Lan said with a smile, "It contains countless techniques, secret arts, and miscellaneous streams. You can go take a closer look, but the spiritual beasts you brought cannot enter."
"Wait for me outside, Bai Shu and Xiao Qing."
Ji Ning and Mu Zixiao followed others into the palace.
The Taoist temple of Yinglongwei branch is too big.
"It's much bigger than the Taoist scripture hall in our Black and White Academy." Mu Zishuo sighed.
"Hmm." Ji Ning also took a glance.
"Xianjie Lianqi Famen actually has 360 varieties? This, this is simply...!" Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from afar.
Ji Ning and Mu Zishuo's faces also changed upon hearing this.
Three hundred and sixty kinds of immortal levels' Qi refining methods?
The Black and White Academy has only twenty-eight moves!
"Could the Cultivation Method actually have a 'Pure Yang Stage'? The Pure Yang Cultivation Method, surpassing even the Immortal Stage Cultivation Method?" Another cry of surprise echoed from afar.
Ji Ning and Mu Zixiao both rushed over hastily after hearing this.
That was an exquisitely carved crystal table, on which two books were placed. The covers of the books had twinkling starlight flowing across them. Next to it stood a silver-haired young man, who held in his hand a book with a cover that also had starlight flowing across it, and he exclaimed: "The Purple Mansion Realm actually requires at least 2,000 kilograms of yuan liquid to break through to the Myriad Manifestations, and at most 3,000 kilograms?"
"Is it that fierce?"
"The Xianjie Lianqi Famen. Generally, it's around 800 to 1,500 kilograms of yuan liquid." Many people came over, some quickly and some slowly, but Ji Ning and the other two were too far away and unfortunately, the two books on the table were snatched up by new Dragon Guards recruits.
They all looked at each other, shook their heads in surprise and exclaimed: "Practicing the Pure Yang School is several times easier than achieving the Refining Virtual Earth Immortal Realm of the Xian Jie School. A solid foundation is just good!"
Many people present had never heard of the Pure Yang Cultivation Method.
Everyone only knows the four major levels of Qi refining methods: Human Stage, Earth Stage, Heaven Stage and Immortal Stage. Who would have thought that there is an even higher 'Pure Yang Qi Refining Method'? It's worth noting that even the Black and White Academy, which has produced Heavenly Immortals, does not possess such a method.
"You don't even know this."
A beautiful woman in a green robe said proudly. "The Refining Qi Sect is divided into Human Rank, Earth Rank, Heaven Rank, Immortal Rank, and Pure Yang! However, even the top sects or the Hou clans like An Chengbei's North Mountain clan generally only have Immortal Rank Refining Qi Sect. Like Yinglongwei, it is the number one power in the entire Daxia Dynasty... that has a Pure Yang Refining Qi Sect!"
"Even Lian An and Beishan didn't?" Ji Ning muttered to herself, "Maybe they did, but just didn't dare to make it public."
On the boundless land, various vassals. Even some trump cards have to be hidden, for fear of being suspected by the Great Xia Dynasty of having the possibility of rebellion!
"What?!"
"Must one respond to Long Wei's inner guard to learn? Even if responding to Long Wei's inner guard, a thousand merits are needed to attain it?"
"Can't ordinary Dragon Guards like us ever learn? I was thinking of switching to a Pure Yang cultivation method!"
They quickly flipped through it and saw the conditions for learning this pure Yang method at the end, and suddenly they all cursed loudly.
Ji Ning's heart skipped a beat.
Whoosh!
He directly climbed onto the huge desk where 360 volumes of Xianjie Lianqi Famen were placed, and immediately began to flip through them. At the same time, other newly appointed Dragon Guards also thought of something and came over to take a look.
"Yinglong Wei's inner guard requires 100 merits to learn, one claw of Yinglong Wei requires 10,000 merits to learn. Two claws of Yinglong Wei require 100,000 merits to learn..." Ji Ning looked at the requirements above and couldn't help but shake his head.
The Xian Jie Lian Qi Fa Men is also very precious after all.
Normally, it would take a million merits for Longwei to achieve his goal. He must go through numerous battles and killings that span decades in order to accumulate so many merits.
"Black."
"Jet black."
Not a few cultivators shook their heads.
Ji Ning also shook her head. Originally, Ji Ning had wanted to switch to the 'Water Attribute' Pure Yang School herself. Unfortunately, only inner disciples could learn the Pure Yang School!
Transferring to a different cultivation method... is also quite common. For example, when Ji Ning was at Mount Yan, he cultivated the very ordinary "Water Source Technique", but at the Black and White Academy, he used the "Water Source Annotation" to lay down his foundation, if he specialized in an even better pure yang technique for cultivating qi... although it's not as good as starting with a pure yang technique from the beginning. It's still much better overall.
What a pity...
Such a Dharma method, how could it be lightly transmitted?
……
They soon arrived at the second floor of the palace.
"It's also difficult for Shentong to learn."
"Eighty-nine kinds of divine powers, and yet more than half of them can only be learned by responding to the Dragon Guard's inner guard!"
"Law is like heaven and earth, requiring the lowest... one claw should be learned from the ten virtues of Long Wei!"
Ji Ning and others looked at those divine classics.
"Law of Heaven and Earth", "Fire Rainbow Escape Technique", "Moving Mountains and Reversing Seas"... Each and every one of these divine abilities made Ji Ning's eyes widen with envy.
Conditions also vary in height.
"The Book of Changes is naturally easy to learn."
The most difficult one is a divine ability called "Candle Dragon's Eye", which requires the inner guard of the Dragon Guard, and only after accumulating countless merits can it be exchanged!
"What great merit?" Ji Ning secretly cursed.
Ji Ning had long heard of the name 'Candle Dragon's Eye', a divine ability that only appeared in legends, on par with some legendary divine abilities like 'Hou Yi Shooting the Sun'. He never thought he would see it today. Apparently, the Great Xia Dynasty had an incredibly deep foundation to have brought out this legendary divine ability.
"The Eye of the Dragon Candle... but it's just being taken out to tempt people." Ji Ning shook his head, "Must be a member of the Dragon Guard Inner Guard, and must be absolutely loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty. And also get infinite merit. This is extremely difficult for even Earth Immortals, obviously those who can meet this condition are truly powerful God-devil cultivators! A God-devil cultivator, just because of one divine ability, would have to sell himself to the Great Xia Dynasty?"
Ji Ning could also guess that this divine ability was incredibly powerful.
"But compared to my Star-Picking Hand, it's probably still a bit inferior." Ji Ning thought to himself.
Stardust...
But since Pangu opened the sky and earth, countless divine powers have been enough to rank in the top ten. The Daxia Dynasty dominates a vast world, and it's still unrealistic to obtain a top-ten divine power.
……
Xian Jie Lian Qi Fa Men three hundred and sixty kinds, Pure Yang Lian Qi Fa Men three kinds.
Eighty-nine kinds of divine power.
Sixty-one kinds of divine thought magic.
One hundred and two forbidden secret arts.
……
There are also many rare treasures and countless precious materials. Although they are just book catalogs, since they should be placed here, the conditions for exchange have been marked... With Ying Longwei's background, it is naturally something that can be taken out.
"It's actually possible to exchange for Xianji-grade treasures."
"Xianjie Fa Bao, I've heard that many immortals don't have a Xianjie Fa Bao. Unfortunately, this is also something that can only be obtained by becoming an inner guard of the Yinglong Wei and requires a huge amount of merit."
……
All the way down, even Ji Ning and Mu Zixiao from Heibai Academy, the third largest force in Anping County, were shaken by it, and their eyes were greedy for more. It can be imagined what other newly promoted Yinglong Guards are thinking.
It's killing me.
The richness of Taoist scriptures... is indeed worthy of being called the first in the Great Xia Dynasty!
"What do you all think?" When Ji Ning and the others walked out, Yu Lan Dao looked at a group of people with unfulfilled ambitions, "As long as you join my Dragon Guard Imperial Guard, you can truly soar to new heights."
Ji Ning and others were all silent.
"It's okay."
"You can ask to join the Dragon Guard at any time." Yu Lan said with a shake of his head, "However, the later you join the Dragon Guard, the more time you will waste. Who knows, on the path of cultivation, because of this delay, you may not be able to leap to the next level."
Suddenly a short and stout man walked out, his eyes cold and stern, saying in a low voice: "I join the Imperial Guard of Yinglong."
Yu Lan Dao Ren suddenly smiled: "Very good, you are the first one in this batch!"
