Chapter 12

Lin Fei did not dare to question the words of the gray-robed old man.

From these words, he sensed a strong warning, and came to the conclusion that the gray-robed old man must be the elder in charge of the Secret Skill Pavilion.

"Choose your mystic arts well, then come to me for registration. Remember, at your current Fourth Heaven of Martial Dao, you can only choose one mystic art. The other must be an auxiliary mystic art. You may go now."

Lin Fei left respectfully.

For some reason, standing before this elder, Lin Fei felt immense pressure, his heart pounding. Truly, the elder was formidable.

......

After pushing open the door.

The Secret Skill Pavilion came into Lin Fei's view on the first floor.

Row upon row of wooden shelves, neatly arranged, exuding a sense of ancient history and a profound aura, wafted towards him.

"Is this the Secret Skill Pavilion?"

Although it was his first time entering, the memory of the Secret Skill Pavilion lingered in his mind, a place he had always yearned to visit, even in his dreams.

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed his excitement, finally having the qualifications to enter the Secret Skill Pavilion.

In the next breath, Lin Fei's face turned into a bitter one, and he couldn't help but slap his forehead.

"Damn, so many skills, how long will it take to choose in half an hour? I should have asked more questions. Do I have to read each one?"

Lin Fei was in a tragic situation.

The first floor of the Secret Skill Pavilion was not just a few shelves but row upon row of wooden shelves, like a library, countless in number. By estimation, there were at least tens of thousands of skills.

Tens of thousands...

Lin Fei was speechless again.

"Whatever, one step at a time!"

......

The Secret Skill Pavilion, as the name suggests, is a place to store mystic arts.

The Divine Martial Sect, one of the three major sects of the Unfallen Dynasty, has a collection of mystic arts that no ordinary family can compare to, proving the true depth of its heritage.

This is the depth.

Mystic arts, fist techniques, leg techniques, chapter techniques, saber techniques, sword techniques... various mystic arts are categorized and stored, allowing Lin Fei to avoid aimlessly searching.

"Fist technique, Arhat Fist, third-rate mystic art!"

"Fist technique, Great Sun Heavenly King Fist, second-rate mystic art!"

"Sword technique, Setting Sun Sword Technique, first-rate mystic art!"

"Sword technique, Azure Cloud Sword Technique, first-rate mystic art!"

"Leg technique, Wind God Leg, third-rate mystic art!"

......

Walking down, various fist techniques, sword techniques, saber techniques... came into view, making his eyes dazzle.

"The first floor of the Secret Skill Pavilion has so many manuals, what about the next few floors?"

Lin Fei didn't dare to imagine further, remembering the elder's words, he didn't dare to rashly go down.

Walking down, Lin Fei realized why the monkey in the story dropped the watermelon to pick up the sesame seeds. It seemed he was in a similar position.

Too many mystic arts, no idea where to start.

Fortunately, Lin Fei had thought about it before coming. The heart method was the most important, crucial to his future achievements, and could not be taken lightly.

"Let's go to the heart method section first!"

......

The Secret Skill Pavilion was well-organized, making it easy to find the corresponding section.

Heart method section.

"Damn, these heart methods are just too..."

Lin Fei stood between the wooden shelves, with heart methods on both sides. A rough count showed there were no fewer than several hundred heart methods, densely packed, making it hard to know where to start.

"Ice Mystic Qi, first-rate mystic art!"

He randomly pulled out a book, and the introduction in the table of contents read:

"Ice Mystic Qi, first-rate mystic art, ten levels in total. When fully cultivated, Ice Mystic Qi can turn a three-zhang radius into an icy wasteland, injuring the body and freezing the mystic qi..."

After reading the introduction, Lin Fei could easily imagine the power of Ice Mystic Qi, a formidable weapon.

"Powerful, but unfortunately, not what I need."

Lin Fei shook his head, put the mystic art back, and continued searching.

"Blazing Sun Heart Method, second-rate mystic art!"

"Six Harmonies Heart Method, third-rate mystic art!"

"Unyielding Tyrant Heart Method, first-rate mystic art!"

"Heaven-Opening Blazing Sun Heart Method, first-rate mystic art!"

......

It must be mentioned that there were many heart methods, like shopping in a mall.

In a short time, half an incense stick had passed, and Lin Fei had yet to find a satisfactory heart method, which made him anxious. Not finding a suitable heart method would greatly affect his future.

In his anxiety, Lin Fei began to search faster.

One after another, he glanced at each one, making quick decisions.

"Huh, why are there a few books placed here alone?"

As he walked down the wooden shelves, Lin Fei was accustomed to the placement of the heart methods. For some reason, he noticed a few books on a nearby shelf and walked over, driven by a strange impulse.

A quick look showed there were only a few manuals on this shelf.

"Unyielding Tyrant Heart Method, first-rate heart method, incomplete, not recommended for cultivation!"

Suddenly enlightened, Lin Fei understood. These heart methods were all collected from outside, lacking parts, and not recommended for cultivation.

Inheriting the cultivation memory, Lin Fei knew that heart methods must be complete. Missing even one level would prevent the heart method from reaching its full potential, greatly affecting one's strength.

"Pity these heart methods!"

Lin Fei felt a sense of loss. If they were complete, their value would be much greater. Even the incomplete ones were first-rate heart methods, and the complete versions might be Yellow Rank heart methods. He continued to look subconsciously.

"Nine Transformations Heart Method, first-rate heart method, incomplete, not recommended for cultivation!"

Just as he read a few words, something unexpected happened.

"Beep, task bar activated. Discovered the missing incomplete Nine Transformations Heart Method. Do you accept?"

The sudden system voice startled Lin Fei. Before he could react, the cold voice sounded again.

"Discovered the missing incomplete Nine Transformations Heart Method. Do you accept?"

Lin Fei, a game otaku, immediately understood and almost laughed out loud. He had unintentionally discovered a hidden task, and a mysterious task had appeared. He was shocked, wondering if he had really become a part of a game.

"Accept!"

"Task bar activated: Find the missing incomplete Nine Transformations Heart Method."

"Current status: Not completed."

"Task reward: Unknown!"

......

After checking, Lin Fei almost spat blood.

It was hard to trigger a task, but the result was confusing. He didn't understand why finding the Nine Transformations Heart Method was a task.

Unexpectedly triggering the task area, Lin Fei was very surprised. He opened the upgrade system again, which had been dim and colorless, and it finally turned into a vivid color.

Having played online games, everyone knows that unexpectedly triggering a task often results in rich rewards. Lin Fei hadn't expected this.

Subconsciously, Lin Fei's gaze fell on the Nine Transformations Heart Method. When the introduction appeared before his eyes, his expression suddenly changed, showing a delighted look. The heart method he had been unable to satisfy finally had a solution. "Ah, so that's how it is."
