Chapter 84

Hu Donghan, having figured out the cause and effect of the situation, felt a slight relief in his heart, and the murderous intent in his eyes dissipated considerably.

"Lin Pusong must be eliminated. However, I absolutely cannot make a move within the Yin Soul Sect! Moreover, Lin Pusong seems to be a blood relative of the Yu Zhi Peak's Yuan Ying Elder Lin Ru. It's not the right time to start a conflict yet..."

"For now, I should calm down, focus on cultivation, and wait for the right opportunity..."

Hu Donghan walked a short distance at a leisurely pace before quickly heading towards the Scripture Hall.

The Scripture Hall is where most of the cultivation techniques and spells of the Yin Soul Sect are stored. Most cultivators within the sect need to spend contribution points to exchange for cultivation techniques and spells here. One could say that the importance of the Scripture Hall is on par with the Earth Fire Hall and the Spirit Medicine Mountain.

A place like this naturally has extremely strict defenses.

As soon as Hu Donghan entered the territory of the Scripture Hall, he felt several divine senses sweep over him—these were divine senses that Hu Donghan, at his current realm, could still sense. As for those he couldn't even sense, there were even more.

Entering the courtyard of the Scripture Hall and approaching the hall, Hu Donghan was stopped by two cultivators. After checking Hu Donghan's waist badge, the two cultivators returned it to him, and their expressions became much friendlier: "It turns out it's a junior brother from the Earth Fire Hall's Alchemy Department. Speaking of which, the people from the Earth Fire Hall haven't visited the Scripture Hall for more than two years."

"Since you are from the Earth Fire Hall, you can choose any cultivation techniques and spells suitable for your cultivation in the areas you can enter. However, I do not recommend you to choose too many spells. Too many spells can lead to a lack of specialization, which is worse than not knowing any spells at all."

"Also, although you can freely take cultivation techniques, you absolutely cannot teach them to others. Once discovered, you will likely lose face in front of the law enforcement disciples."

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother." Hu Donghan thanked the two cultivators and then officially entered the Scripture Hall.

The Scripture Hall of the Yin Soul Sect is divided into six floors.

The first floor contains cultivation techniques and spells most suitable for Qi Condensation cultivators. Any cultivator who has earned a certain amount of contribution points within the Yin Soul Sect can come to the Scripture Hall to exchange for spells.

The second floor is the area for Foundation Establishment cultivators. The third floor is for Core Formation cultivators, and the fourth floor and above are for Yuan Ying and Transformation Spirit Elders—of course, if some Core Formation cultivators are granted permission, they can also enter the fourth floor and above to study the content.

On the first floor, Hu Donghan took a spell index from a Foundation Establishment cultivator and carefully examined the spells. Because Hu Donghan is a disciple of the Earth Fire Hall, the first three floors of the Scripture Hall are open to him, and the number of spells he can view is quite substantial.

First, he roughly filtered through all the spells and had a basic understanding. His mind raced: "Elder Duan Tian has been very good to me, so his advice must not be bad. Although there are many cultivation techniques available within the Earth Fire Hall's authority, after careful examination, it seems that the Earth Fire True Law recommended by the Elder is the best."

"Moreover, the Earth Fire True Law contains all the methods from the Qi Condensation stage to the Transformation Spirit stage. In each realm, there seems to be a unique secret technique that can significantly enhance one's strength once used!"

"The technique used by Qin Longhua from the Battle Hall earlier seemed to be a unique secret technique. The sudden surge of power was enough to kill an opponent of the same level! However, if I really think about it, the cultivation speed and recovery speed of the Xuan Yin Heart Method I am currently practicing, due to the 'True Explanation of the Ghost Path' outline, far exceed others. If I rashly change my cultivation method, I don't know if the content of the outline will also have an auxiliary effect on the Earth Fire True Law. If it doesn't, it might be better to choose other cultivation techniques..."

After some thought, Hu Donghan decided on the cultivation technique.

"Fine! I'll choose the Earth Fire True Law first! If the cultivation speed of the Earth Fire True Law is not good, I can always change the cultivation method later! There are plenty of cultivation methods in the Scripture Hall, and I don't believe I won't find one suitable for me."

After deciding on the cultivation technique, Hu Donghan found several systems of spells for creating zombies and skeletons from the spell index. These included spells for creating zombies and skeletons from the Qi Condensation stage to the Core Formation stage. When selecting these, Hu Donghan was a bit rough. To be honest, what Hu Donghan truly relied on was the 'True Explanation of the Ghost Path.' From the fact that the Yin Soul Sect does not place much importance on zombies and skeletons, it can be seen that the spells for creating zombies and skeletons within the sect are not very powerful!

Next, Hu Donghan found four spells suitable for his Qi Condensation stage: Phosphorus Fire Bullet, Ghost Needle Rain, Ghost Fire Shield, and Lesser Five Elements Ghost Escape Technique. Among these, Phosphorus Fire Bullet and Ghost Needle Rain are attack spells, Ghost Fire Shield is a defensive spell, and the Lesser Five Elements Ghost Escape Technique is an escape technique that can increase the speed of escape.

These spells do not consume too much spiritual energy and are quite powerful. They are also recommended in the spell index.

After selecting the cultivation technique and spells, Hu Donghan pretended to browse around the first, second, and third floors of the Scripture Hall for a while. Finally, he obtained the cultivation technique and spells he wanted and handed them to the cultivator responsible for making copies, each getting a copy.

Leaving the Scripture Hall with the cultivation technique and spells, he thanked the two guards again and then tried to use the Lesser Five Elements Ghost Escape Technique he had just read about, quickly returning to the Old Medicine Mountain.

Returning to his room quickly, Hu Donghan instructed everyone not to disturb him and then returned to the alchemy room to carefully read the cultivation technique and spells he had brought back.

In the path of cultivation, the most important thing is cultivation level, followed by spells.

Hu Donghan first read through all the cultivation techniques and mantras of the Earth Fire True Law and found that he could only understand the Qi Condensation stage techniques. As for the Foundation Establishment stage and above, although he could understand the words, he always felt a bit confused.

After reading the Qi Condensation stage techniques twice, Hu Donghan tried to cultivate according to the instructions. This attempt confirmed that the cultivation speed was indeed more than twice that of the Xuan Yin Heart Method under normal circumstances, as Elder Duan Tian had said.

"Cultivating the Earth Fire True Law, the speed is about the same as my current cultivation speed. However, I will still interpret the Earth Fire True Law using the outline of the 'True Explanation of the Ghost Path'..."

Reciting the outline of the 'True Explanation of the Ghost Path' in his mind, Hu Donghan recalled the content of the Earth Fire True Law. For a moment, Hu Donghan felt his mind enter a clear and enlightened state...
