Chapter 97: First Visit to the Sutra Pagoda
Lu Yu put the statue aside, and when he returned to its original place, Yang Chudie had already taken out a box from under the base of the statue.
The box was opened, and inside was an antique and exquisite token. One side of the token was engraved with a sword, and the other side had the word "Jade Butterfly" written on it.
It seems that this is the real thing of Yudie.
Yang Chudie handed the token directly to Lu Yu.
"Although you are only at the first level of the True Yuan Realm now, your cultivation is extremely profound, far beyond ordinary... It's just that the martial arts moves you are proficient in are a bit monotonous, and you cannot fully utilize your strength..."
"Although I can teach you some fundamentals of Taoism, what I have learned is very limited, and you and I have different basic techniques, so what I teach may not be completely suitable for you."
"If you really want to find a Tao method that suits you, you still have to go to the Sutra Pagoda at Wulao Peak to read the ancient scriptures. Considering that your level is too low, you should take this Jade Butterfly token with you. !”
"This token was specially awarded to Yudie by the Elders Council when she presented the Flying Flower Escape Shadow to the Scripture Pagoda. It should allow you to check out more classics in the Scripture Pagoda."
Lu Yu was startled. He didn't expect that this token was exchanged for "Feihua Escape", and his hand suddenly felt heavy.
"Thank you, Master!"
Lu Yu couldn't help but feel a little touched in her voice. She actually handed such a token to herself, which showed the high expectations for her in her heart.
"Thank me for what?"
Unexpectedly, Yang Chudie had a relaxed expression on his face.
"If you want to thank Yudie, you should thank Yudie. This is her token after all... However, after you completed your studies at the Tibetan Scripture Tower, you originally wanted to fight for her in the Xiao Litian secret realm, so you There’s no need to thank her so much.”
"No."
Lu Yu said solemnly.
"Both of you should be grateful, but the one who should be especially grateful is you, Senior Sister!"
Hearing this, Yang Chudie was quiet for a moment, and when he spoke again, his tone had become much softer.
"Go to Wulao Peak quickly. Don't waste time. I hope you can find a Tao method that suits you there."
"Um."
…
There are five peaks in Wulaofeng, just like five human fingers.
The entire Wulao Peak is a behemoth. It is independent from other major mountain peaks and does not recruit any disciples. It is entirely controlled by the elders. It is the holy land of the entire Dali Sword Sect.
The most core organizational heads of the entire Dali Sword Sect are established here.
Therefore, the defense here is extremely strict. Lu Yu entered Wulao Peak after numerous checks along the way.
According to the topography of the mountain peak, the interior of Wulao Peak is divided into five areas.
The Sutra Pagoda is located on the top of the mountain in the first area. The entire tower is very huge, almost the same size as the entire mountain.
There are nine floors in the tower, and each floor contains countless classics, not only the techniques and secrets, but also the techniques of alchemy, medicine, talismans, weapon refining, etc. Everything you need is included.
The higher the level, the more advanced the collection of classics, the higher the required permissions and the higher the merit points consumed.
As an inner disciple like Lu Yu, if he didn't use Master Yudie's token, he could only reach the second level at most.
As the secret realm of Xiao Li Tian is about to open, there are many disciples who want to cram in the Buddha temporarily. Therefore, the mountain road of Wulao Peak is full of people, and it is quite lively.
Although major mountain peaks generally have their own collections of martial arts books, the most complete collection of books is the Wulaofeng Sutra Pagoda. Especially for some disciples who encounter bottlenecks in their skills, the Sutra Pagoda is very important to them. Said to be irreplaceable.
When Lu Yu arrived at the Sutra-Tibetan Pagoda, as expected, there was already a long queue outside the door, and he had to go through inspections in order before he could enter the tower.
"Senior Brother Xu, long time no see."
"Junior brother Zhao Yanwu, nice to meet you!"
Not far in front of Lu Yu, two disciples who were waiting in line to enter the Sutra Storage Tower suddenly said hello.
"Senior Brother Xu, what have you been busy with lately? I haven't seen you for a long time."
"It's a long story. I took on a mission in Xuanhongtang and it took me three full months. I almost broke my legs from exhaustion. I finally finished it recently."
"A three-month red mission?" Junior Brother Zhao Yanwu couldn't help but be moved, "Then you must have gained a lot of merit, right?"
Senior Brother Xu pretended to be humble on the surface, but there was a hint of pride in his eyes, showing that he was actually extremely proud in his heart.
"It's just so-so. It should be enough for me to learn the entire Thunder Sword Technique this time."
Thunder Sword Technique?
The crowd immediately exploded.
"Who is this person? He is so loud? He actually wants to learn the full set of Thunder Sword Techniques?"
"This person is Xu Yichen, a disciple of Cuizhu Peak, the thirteenth on the Qingyun Ranking!"
"The Qingyun Ranking is the potential ranking among the core disciples, sorted by the ones who are most likely to be promoted to true disciples. It is quite extraordinary for this person to be ranked thirteenth on the Qingyun Ranking."
"No wonder you have such a loud tone..."
Lu Yu remembered that when he went to Cuizhu Peak for Yu Wanli's business, Fang Qian had introduced this person's name to him, but he didn't expect to see the real person here.
He couldn't help but look at the man, and felt that this man had a handsome face and extraordinary behavior, just like his name, he was otherworldly.
But he was only at the ninth level of the True Yuan Realm, and had not yet broken through the Return to the Sea Realm. Didn't it say that only when one reaches the Return to the Sea Realm and has a deep and unfathomable True Qi like the sea can one activate the Dao Jue? Why did he have to learn the Thunder Sword Jue now?
Lu Yu was confused.
In a blink of an eye, it was Xu Yichen's turn to enter the Sutra Library.
Xu Yichen took out his waist badge and put it into a formation device next to him. Suddenly, a series of words appeared on a crystal stone wall at the entrance of the Sutra Library.
The guard at the door immediately announced loudly: "Xu Yichen, the core disciple of Cuizhu Peak, currently has 35,500 merits and can enter."
There was a burst of discussion among the crowd.
"35,500 merits! So many!"
"No wonder he just said he wanted to learn the full set of Thunder Sword Technique!"
"Where did he get so many merits!"
"Didn't you hear what he said just now? He ran the reward mission for three whole months!"
"So many merits for the mission in three months? Even if you and I run for thirty years, we may not get so many merits!"
"Is this comparable? He is a core disciple, the thirteenth on the Qingyun list, and his efficiency in earning merits is naturally much higher than you and me..."
...
Lu Yu couldn't help but think that in the past few days, the Sun Crystal Ore he robbed was handed over to the Xuanhong Hall of Langya Peak to exchange for merits.
I don't know how many merits he has now, and what kind of martial arts books he can exchange for.
A few more people passed the inspection at the door and entered the Sutra Library.
Finally, it was Lu Yu's turn.
He took out his waist card, took a deep breath, and put it into the formation device.
Suddenly, information about him appeared on the crystal wall.
But his information seemed a little wrong, even the guard disciples couldn't help but widen their eyes, and checked several times before finally confirming it.
"Lu Yu, the inner disciple of Yudie Peak, currently has negative merit of 35,500..."
"Not allowed to enter!"
