Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

Qin Yu’s gaze naturally fell upon this Hall Master.

This elder had clearly aged.

It seemed that maintaining the Array Hub for nine days to protect him had cost the elder greatly.

Looking at Duanmu Hong, Qin Yu felt a mix of emotions inside.

He didn’t consider himself a noble person and thought he had many flaws.

When he became aware of the hidden danger at the Array Hub, all he wanted was to escape, as far away as possible.

But the elder before him inspired Qin Yu deeply.

Perhaps he could never become someone like this elder, not now, and likely not in the future.

However, that didn’t prevent him from feeling respect for the elder.

”Hall Master.”

Duanmu Hong detected the complexity in Qin Yu’s tone, but only smiled faintly at him, ”No matter, my bones are strong, living a few more centuries is no problem.”

Though he had aged significantly, his eyes were very bright.

Especially when he looked at Qin Yu.

”Take this with you.”

As soon as Qin Yu sat down, Duanmu Hong brought out a token with Spiritual Power and held it in front of him.

Qin Yu looked up and saw the token engraved with the words ’Cyan Mist’, powerful and carrying an intense intimidating force.

”Hall Master, this is...”

He didn’t understand what the elder meant.

”This is merely an identity token. Carrying it allows you unfettered access in the Cyan Mist Hall. It’s of no use, just keep it.”

Duanmu Hong smiled warmly, assuring him he needn’t worry.

Although the elder spoke lightly, Qin Yu understood the weight of the token upon hearing the phrase ”unfettered access.”

Could the elder be wanting him to stay in Cyan Mist Hall?!

Not appropriate, not appropriate.

Though Cyan Mist Hall’s resources and Spiritual Qi far surpassed Cyan Mountain Sect, Cyan Mountain Sect had his Sect Leader!

A peerless beauty that even a Saint Monk couldn’t resist!

How could Qin Yu possibly give that up?!

”In this Secret Realm excursion, you have done well in repairing the Ancient Array. If there’s anything you need, feel free to ask.”

Duanmu Hong didn’t state what he would give Qin Yu, instead letting him make requests, clearly wanting to know what Qin Yu lacked.

Even if Cyan Mist Hall didn’t have it, he would find a way to get it!

”Thank you, Hall Master.”

Qin Yu was relieved as he didn’t mention wanting him to stay.

While relieved, he felt somewhat dismissive of the opportunity that many cultivators dreamt of, as he wanted to turn it down.

He respectfully accepted the token and said, ”Could I possibly choose a High Tier Cultivation Technique?”

”Of course!”

Duanmu Hong readily agreed, but became serious before calling Luo Lizhu in, ”Do not disclose the matter of the Ancient Array insight for the time being, to avoid any unforeseen issues.”

”Qin Yu understands!”

Qin Yu was more than happy to avoid more trouble.

”Lizhu!”

Only then did Duanmu Hong summon Luo Lizhu, ”Take Qin Yu to the Myriad Volume Tower.”

Myriad Volume Tower.

It was equivalent to Cyan Mountain Sect’s Library Pavilion, but clearly, the two couldn’t compare.

Watching the two depart, a trace of surprise flashed in the elder’s eyes.

He had said Qin Yu could request anything, yet Qin Yu only chose a Cultivation Technique.

This showed that the little one wasn’t greedy.

The elder’s smile grew deeper.

...

Luo Lizhu’s gaze immediately fell on the token in Qin Yu’s hand.

”Cyan Mist Order?!”

Qin Yu was momentarily stunned, then said, ”Is this what you’re referring to, sister? The Hall Master gave it to me just now.”

”...”

Luo Lizhu looked at him, her mouth opening and closing a few times, yet no words coming out.

Qin Yu didn’t know what the Cyan Mist Order represented, but she certainly did.

Seeing the Cyan Mist Order was like seeing the Hall Master himself!

It could be said that Qin Yu’s access now was far greater than hers as a Palace Envoy.

Moreover, Luo Lizhu seemed to understand how much the Hall Master valued Qin Yu.

On the way, she started telling Qin Yu about the Myriad Volume Tower.

”Later, sister will help you select an Earth Level Cultivation Technique!”

”I thank you in advance, sister.”

Qin Yu’s eyes lit up.

The best technique in Cyan Mountain Sect was barely Spirit Level.

He wondered if this Earth Level cultivation technique would be what he desired.

He was full of anticipation.

The two chatted amiably and soon arrived at the Myriad Volume Tower.

Located beneath the Main Hall’s mountain, with the Hall Master personally overseeing, it was as impregnable as a fortress.

As he neared the area, Qin Yu sensed multiple Divine Senses sweeping over him, and along the way, he saw no fewer than ten Array lines.

If not for Luo Lizhu leading the way, just these Arrays could have torn him apart.

Unbeknownst to him, even without Luo Lizhu, with the token in hand, he could pass through unobstructed.

Inside the Myriad Volume Tower, they didn’t linger on the lower floors.

Actually, Qin Yu wanted to widen his knowledge...

But of course, he couldn’t do so in front of this elder sister.

Upon reaching the top floor.

Qin Yu’s view suddenly broadened, seeing numerous jade tablets, warm as jade, enveloped by the white glow of Arrays, suspended in the air.

Counting carefully, there were precisely seventeen jade scrolls.

”The treasures in this place are all Earth Tier cultivation techniques. Among them are three Middle Grade Earth Tier techniques. However, these are imprint copies, not the originals, but identical in every way.”

Luo Lizhu provided detailed analyses of each technique’s unique aspects and potential limitations, allowing Qin Yu to make his selection.

Qin Yu was secretly amazed, the Cyan Mist Hall governing Ten Domains, its profound heritage was evident!

Regular Immortal Sects might not have a single one, yet here were seventeen varieties!

If only he could select a technique for his little fairy wives, that would be optimal.

Of course, that depended on obtaining the Hall Master’s permission first.

Then, Qin Yu began touching the floating jade scrolls one by one.

One, two...

As time passed, Qin Yu’s brows furrowed further.

”Brother Qin, couldn’t there be none that suit you?”

Luo Lizhu watched with overflowing concern.

It shouldn’t be possible.

Is there a more advanced technique in Cyan Mountain Sect than those in Cyan Mist Hall?!

”These techniques are all excellent...”

Releasing the final technique, Qin Yu’s face was full of bitterness.

Seventeen techniques and all Earth Tier, yet not one suited him.

Qin Yu’s feelings were complicated.

Was he destined to rely on exploring on his own?!

”This...”

Luo Lizhu was at a loss for words.

Even a Middle Grade Earth Tier technique wasn’t good enough?

”Sister, please take me to the next floor then.”

”The next floor only contains Spirit Level techniques...”

Qin Yu insisted, and Luo Lizhu had no choice but to take him.

...

Main Hall.

Duanmu Hong suddenly sensed something, and his figure abruptly vanished.

When he reappeared, he stood in the sky thousands of feet high.

Before him quietly stood a woman donned in Fiery Red Armor and wearing a Fire Cloud Mask.

He recognized this attire!

It was that of the Close Guard serving beside the supreme existence of the Immortal Country!

Flame Guard!
