Extracting Billions Of Toxins And Tempering An Unsullied Body

The next morning, Gu Xi had only slept for a few hours, but he still arrived at Luoxian Peak feeling thoroughly refreshed. This was perhaps he was too excited, or perhaps he had just advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage.

The Library Pavilion was located on the Luoxian Peak.

He looked at the tall pavilion that was shrouded in clouds. White fog curled up, and the pavilion was faintly discernible, adding a sense of mystery to it. It was as if an Immortal had descended here.

This building looked ancient and simple, but it had a long history. Every brick or tile was filled with an inexplicable aura. There was a rich collection of books, as many as ten thousand of them. Whether it was the most basic or profound, everything was here.

Anyone could enter the sect’s Library Pavilion. The prerequisite was that one had to have contribution points. Gu Xi had not saved much before. After all, with his strength, he could only carry out very few missions. Naturally, he did not get many contribution points.

He was short of points, so he had to be careful.

Gu Xi thought he had come early, and he did not expect there to be a line. He suppressed his strength, so it was not obvious.

After all, if people knew his current cultivation, it would inevitably attract prying eyes. His cultivation speed was just too abnormal. There was no lack of killing and stealing in the cultivation world, so it was better to be careful.

At the front were a few disciples dressed in blue, one in red, and the rest were all in white robes like Gu Xi.

The sect was strict in class and discipline. The personal disciples wore purple robes, the inner disciples wore red robes, the outer disciples wore blue robes, and the non-disciples wore white robes.

Disciples of different statuses wore different clothes, and everyone hoped to enter the outer sect as soon as possible. The same was true for the blue-robed and red-robed disciples, which meant that they would be one step closer to the core.

As one of the white-robed disciples, Gu Xi was not young anymore, but he still had not entered the outer sect. Now, he was hanging out with many new disciples who had just entered the sect.

Seeing his arrival, a few white-robed disciples looked at him sympathetically.

“He’s obviously from the same batch as us, but he hasn’t entered the outer sect yet.”

“There’s nothing we can do. It’s his fault for having such a poor foundation.”

“If I were him, I would be too embarrassed to appear here. With his talent, even the yellow-grade books in the library are like heavenly books in his eyes.”

Hearing the discussions around him, Gu Xi did not mind. Soon, he spent a portion of his contribution points to enter the library.

There were five levels in the library. From top to bottom, they corresponded to the four cultivation methods of heaven, earth, black, and yellow-grade cultivation methods. The last level was not open to outsiders. Only the clan leader or the core members were qualified to enter. It was extremely mysterious.

What was inside, no one knew.

According to Gu Xi’s current status, he could only access the most basic yellow-grade cultivation methods.

On the counter, there was a half-squinting old man surnamed Zhao. His cultivation level could not be seen, and he was an elder who specialized in managing the library. He seemed to be taking a nap, and when he saw Gu Xi’s arrival, he said casually, “Name?”

“Gu Xi.” Gu Xi handed over his identity card.

Elder Zhao casually took it and glanced at it. “The first level is yellow-grade, don’t run around.”

There was a formation between each level, and the purpose was to prevent anyone from running around or randomly barging in.

After saying this, Elder Zhao continued to nap, ignoring Gu Xi, as if he was an invisible insect.

Gu Xi was already used to being ignored. After all, disciples like him were at the bottom of the pyramid, and no one would take him seriously. However, sooner or later, he would prove himself.

The moment he stepped into the library, it was as if he had entered another world. It was a vast and endless collection of books, and it was almost dazzling.

The bookshelves were arranged in an orderly manner. There were all kinds of books placed on them. He touched them one by one, calming himself down. The books were filled with an inexplicable charm. It was as if each book had its own fragrance, its own indescribable flavor.

The sunlight refracted through the window, and dust scattered in all directions. It was extraordinary.

Faced with so many books, Gu Xi was caught in a dilemma. He did not know which book to borrow. He had very few contribution points, so he could not borrow much.

The sect only had basic Qi Refinement cultivation methods, and the clan only had basic Body Refinement cultivation methods. Gu Xi had already extracted these before, so he did not need them for the time being.

After pondering for a moment, Gu Xi planned to find a sword technique, fist technique, and movement technique. Now it seemed that these were the ones he needed the most. They were very important in battle.

There were many sword techniques and fist techniques here. If he were to look through them one by one, he would not be able to finish them even if the sky turned dark. It was indeed a difficult problem to find the ones of good quality among the many cultivation methods. 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

A thought flashed through Gu Xi’s mind, and he suddenly slapped his head. “I got it! Why don’t I check it out with the system?”

Based on the previous situation and the system’s introduction, it should be able to identify cultivation methods with a better foundation and fewer flaws. With the system in hand, there was no need for him to sift through all of them. It would save him a lot of time.

[The system has detected 8,690 flaws in ‘Mountain Suppressing Fist’]

[The system has detected 7,780 flaws in ‘Ice Soul Sword Manual’]

[The system has detected 9,230 flaws in ‘Wandering Cloud Steps’]

...

The system’s notification kept ringing in his mind. Although it was a little noisy, the effect was significant. Just as Gu Xi had expected, he quickly finished examining an entire row of bookshelves.

In the end, he chose the cultivation methods of ‘Tiger Subjugation Fist’, ‘Sword Drawing Technique’, and ‘Lost Track Steps’ because these were relatively less flawed.

When he came before Elder Zhao again, it had only been the time it took for half an incense stick to burn. It must be known that no matter what kind of disciple came to the library, it would take a lot of time to choose a cultivation method that suited them.

Elder Zhao raised his eyes and glanced at the books. He only thought that Gu Xi had randomly picked them and did not take it to heart.

“I’ll borrow these few books.”

Elder Zhao immediately rejected him. “No, you don’t have enough contribution points. You can only borrow one.”

“Ah...”

Gu Xi had no choice but to give up. He picked the Sword Drawing Technique. “Then I’ll take this one.”

It was strange that the Sword Drawing Technique cost the least contribution points, but it also had the least flaws. He suspected that there might be something special about this technique, but no one had discovered it.

After all, when Gu Xi had taken the technique, the bookshelf in the corner had been covered with a thick layer of dust. It was obvious that no one had read it for a long time.

Elder Zhao finally looked Gu Xi in the eye and sized him up from head to toe. A hint of interest flashed across his eyes. “You’re going to choose this one?”
