Stepping into the Martial Arts Pavilion, the first hall was filled with numerous bookshelves, on which countless classics were displayed. Many disciples were selecting among the bookshelves.
The classics in the Martial Arts Pavilion were not just various martial arts and cultivation techniques, but also included notes from strong individuals and miscellaneous cultivation experiences. These things were not necessarily less valuable than the martial arts and techniques.
Suddenly seeing so many classics, not only Lu Xuan, but also Lin Xinyi and Xia Ye, who were not of low birth, could not help but be somewhat shocked.
"Truly worthy of the Wind Sword Sect! There are so many martial arts and techniques preserved in this Martial Arts Pavilion. I originally thought that the cultivation techniques in the City Lord's residence were already quite numerous, but compared to here, they are just a drop in the ocean." Xia Ye could not help but praise.
Lu Xuan was also somewhat dazed. With just a Yellow-grade Lower-class Dragon Seizing Hand, the Long family could become the top clan in Green Hill Town. If all these classics of the Wind Sword Sect were to leak out, how many Long families could be created!
However, Lu Xuan then laughed at himself. Comparing the Long family to the Wind Sword Sect was simply inappropriate. The Long family could only hide in a small place like Green Hill Town, while the Wind Sword Sect ruled over three major empires nearby, making them incomparable.
Seeing the four of Lu Xuan standing stunned at the entrance, some disciples who were selecting classics glanced at them and then sneered. They clearly looked like new members of the Wind Sword Sect, inexperienced and making a fuss over nothing.
Just as they were feeling superior as returning students, Lu Xuan said, "Let's go. There's probably nothing good on the first floor. We'll go to the second floor."
Lu Xuan's words immediately caused a few returning students to burst into laughter. One of them mocked, "The second floor isn't something you can just go to. Without a thousand contribution points, you think you can go to the second floor?"
Since ancient times, new students and returning students have been a pair of irreconcilable contradictions. It seems that no matter where you are, returning students bullying new students is a common occurrence. Seeing that these new students, including Lu Xuan, seemed to know nothing, the returning students naturally enjoyed finding their superiority.
Hearing this, Lu Xuan just smiled and did not want to waste time arguing with them. He simply walked directly toward the stairs leading to the second floor.
"Xinyi, give me your badge. I'll transfer a thousand contribution points to you." Without waiting for Lin Xinyi to speak, Lu Xuan took the initiative to say.
Lin Xinyi only had a hundred contribution points, so she naturally did not have the qualifications to go to the second floor. However, Lu Xuan had a total of twelve thousand, so transferring a thousand to her was no problem.
Lin Xinyi did not refuse Lu Xuan's gift, smiling sweetly and handing over her badge.
After transferring a thousand contribution points to Lin Xinyi, under the watchful eyes of the returning students who were waiting for a show, the four of Lu Xuan passed through the barrier on the stairs without any hindrance and easily stepped onto the second floor.
Seeing this, the person who had just mocked Lu Xuan was almost bulging his eyes out.
"Damn! What's going on? He can really go to the second floor? I've been here for a year and haven't gone up there many times!"
"These new students are pretty impressive. They must have some background."
...
The number of bookshelves on the second floor was clearly much less than on the first floor. At a glance, there were only about ten bookshelves, and the books on the shelves were scattered, not fully filled.
This time, Lu Xuan did not rush to continue going up but instead flipped through the items on the second floor with Xia Ye and the others.
"Narcissus Blade, Blade Manual, Yellow-grade Lower-class."
"Rainbow Spear, Spear Manual, Yellow-grade Middle-class."
"Beast King Claw, Claw Technique, Yellow-grade Lower-class."
...
Lu Xuan flipped through several martial arts manuals, most of which were Yellow-grade Lower-class, with a few Yellow-grade Middle-class, but not many. It seemed that even those Yellow-grade Middle-class martial arts were probably quite poor. It was easy to imagine that the classics on the first floor were probably all Yellow-grade Lower-class, and the Long family's Dragon Seizing Hand, as well as the Lightning Sword Technique improved by the sword crystal, might have the qualifications to be placed on the second floor.
Lu Xuan was no longer interested in this level of items. He said to the three who were enthusiastically selecting techniques, "You take your time. I'll go to the third floor to check it out. By the way, you don't have to wait for me. I might cultivate there for a few days."
The three of Xia Ye all nodded. Entering the third floor required ten thousand contribution points, such a large amount of contribution points that even most of the returning students did not have. Being able to step into the third floor right after entering the Wind Sword Sect, Lu Xuan was probably the only one in many years.
After bidding farewell to the three, Lu Xuan walked straight to the stairs leading to the third floor. There was still a barrier on the stairs, hazy and indistinct, making it impossible to see the situation on the third floor. However, the barrier would only block disciples with less than ten thousand contribution points, and Lu Xuan naturally passed through without any problem.
The number of bookshelves on the third floor was even more pitiful, with only three bookshelves. At a glance, Lu Xuan estimated that the total number of classics on the third floor did not exceed a hundred, of course, not guaranteeing that some classics had been taken away for study.
As soon as he stepped into the third floor, several gazes swept over. Seeing Lu Xuan's appearance, someone immediately let out a light exclamation, clearly surprised by the appearance of a new face.
The number of disciples who had the qualifications to step into the third floor would not exceed a hundred. Although they might not be familiar with each other, they would at least have an impression. Clearly, they were seeing Lu Xuan for the first time and were all interested in observing this new arrival.
While they were looking at Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan was also looking at them. Including himself, there were only nine people on the third floor. Five of them, Lu Xuan had some impression of, the group previously referred to as "Young Master Lin." The other four he had not seen before, probably having come up long ago.
Lu Xuan specially paid attention to this "Young Master Lin." He had heard from the middle-aged attendant that this "Young Master Lin" was among the top ten on the overall ranking. Lu Xuan silently recalled the overall ranking he had seen before. Although he did not remember every name, he still had an impression of the top ten.
This "Young Master Lin" seems to be called Lin Tian? Yes, he is also from the Sword Sect. Lu Xuan tried hard to recall and finally remembered most of the information about this "Young Master Lin."
Realizing that he was from the Sword Sect, Lu Xuan became interested. After all, they were from the same sect, and in the previous sect competition, Lin Tian was the first in the Sword Sect. However, unfortunately, he barely ranked tenth on the overall list, which kept the Sword Sect at the bottom.
At this moment, this "Young Master Lin" did not pay any attention to Lu Xuan, his gaze still fixed on the bookshelf, not bothering to acknowledge someone he considered unimportant.
Lu Xuan, who was a senior of the same sect, originally intended to go up and greet him, but seeing Lin Tian's attitude, he immediately gave up the idea. He was not one to force himself on others.
Ignoring the gazes of the others, Lu Xuan walked straight to the bookshelves. His purpose was to select martial arts, not to sightsee.
(PS: It's a new week, and I have a good recommendation this week, having made it to the Three Rivers. Take this opportunity to sincerely ask for your recommendations! I want to see how many brothers and sisters are supporting this book.
Because the recent updates have been tiring, I'm quite lazy. To give myself enough motivation, I've decided to use the recommendation system for extra updates. If the daily recommendations reach three hundred, I'll add one more update on top of the two guaranteed updates! That means, if the weekly recommendations can reach three hundred by twelve o'clock today, there will be three updates tomorrow!
This commitment will last for a week. Brothers and sisters, use your votes to motivate me! I'm asking for the weekly recommendations! Also, welcome to share your opinions in the book review section!)
