Chapter 142: Chapter 140: Is This a Proper Cultivation Technique?

"Does a cultivator really need such improper knowledge?!"

Though Qin Yu criticized righteously, he didn’t put down the book in his hand. He quickly glanced around, and after confirming no one was nearby, he gently opened the pages.

His eyes glinted with scrutiny and judgment, like a strict teacher reviewing a disciple’s homework, immersing himself meticulously in the lines of text.

Gradually, his eyes widened, his expression full of shock.

It was as if a door to a new world had swung open right before his eyes.

"Damn, cultivators really know how to play."

After reading just one page, Qin Yu couldn’t help but sigh, realizing how shallow his former understanding had been.

Yet, when he eagerly tried to read further Chapters, he was stunned to find the pages locked tight by invisible chains, unable to be turned.

Clearly, the Cyan Mountain Sect had placed some restrictions—otherwise, every disciple entering the Library Pavilion could read all the secret manuals!

Limited access, still have to switch cultivation techniques for the lovely wives—what a pity, Qin Yu thought privately, returning it to its place and picking up another book.

"Dragon and Phoenix"

What does this mean?!

Qin Yu didn’t quite get it, but upon opening it, he learned some intriguing new points.

Turns out...

There are indeed unorthodox ways.

This style, how does it not look like someone from the righteous path at all!

Definitely crooked ways!

This wouldn’t have come from the Demon Sect, would it?

For example, maybe, one of those merging sects.

"Tsk tsk!"

Qin Yu immersed himself in the joy of reading. Even if he could only look at the first page of each book, his passion and hunger for knowledge remained undiminished.

After that, he browsed several fascinating classics:

For instance:

"Dragonfly Water Touching Technique"—this book was light and graceful, as its title suggests. Though he only saw the cover page, he already glimpsed much, discovering truth in small details.

"Verbal Skills"—at first glance, the title sounded joking, but it actually held clever mysteries. Between the lines lay the art and wisdom of words, teaching him how to spar with others using verbal prowess.

"Ten Great Grotto Heaven Secret Records"—a volume that led him into immortal secret realms, letting him gain an initial glimpse of the mysteries behind Grotto Heaven Blessed Lands.

Etcetera.

All were new knowledge points, each offering a unique insight, truly covering all aspects.

Everything he could imagine—and even things he couldn’t—were here!

Especially that "Ten Great Grotto Heaven Secret Records," which seemed to give Qin Yu a clue about the Ten Great Sacred Bodies.

Pity he could only read one page.

But even the content on that very first page had descriptions surprisingly similar to the Sacred Body of his beautiful master lady.

Why wasn’t it exactly the same?

Qin Yu didn’t understand at first either.

But the preface already mentioned: Each of the Ten Great Grotto Heavens is a rare occurrence in the world, with only a one-in-a-billion chance—unless fate intervenes, no one can obtain them.

The person who wrote this book is truly an exemplary model among cultivators!

Of course, Qin Yu guessed this senior probably just heard rumors, never actually witnessed or experienced those Grotto Heaven Blessed Lands.

Even so, Qin Yu thirsted for knowledge.

Pity he could only see the first page, still didn’t know what features the other Nine Grotto Heavens had.

Qin Yu helplessly put the book down.

But whenever there was an opportunity, he would take it back to study carefully.

What can you do? Qin Yu was born a lover of learning—after all, only knowledge brings progress!

Flipping through again, Qin Yu made another round, and finally picked a superior Mortal Technique for his lovely wife back home.

Walking up to the second floor.

Qin Yu gave it a casual glance—mostly mid- to lower Spirit Grade Cultivation Techniques, all proper books, obviously not suitable for him.

Stepping onto the third floor, it was completely different from floors one and two.

The cultivation techniques were no longer casually placed on bookshelves; each technique was protected by an independent array, floating in the air like stars in the night sky, shining softly.

On both sides of the entrance stood two ancient stone steles, densely carved with the names and brief introductions of each technique.

The number wasn’t huge; maybe a dozen or so.

"They’re actually... all superior Spirit Grade Cultivation Techniques!"

Qin Yu’s gaze swept rapidly, a shock flashing in his eyes.

He had heard that in some secret realm, a superior Spirit Grade Cultivation Technique appeared, and reportedly, many Golden Core Great Cultivators fell fighting over it.

Shows how rare they truly are.

No wonder it’s the former top Immortal Sect of Yunlan Domain—their profound heritage, even in decline, isn’t something ordinary cultivators can imagine.

One must know: Aside from Root Bone, the cultivation technique is a crucial factor in one’s cultivation speed.

These techniques alone could plunge the whole Yunlan Domain into chaos—no wonder Hundred Sword Sect coveted the Cyan Mountain Sect so badly.

Who wouldn’t be tempted?

"Whew..."

Qin Yu took a deep breath; only now did he truly realize the unfathomable depth of the Immortal Sect—this was just the tip of the iceberg, and the shock it brought was no small thing.

Soon, he adjusted his mindset and began filtering cultivation techniques.

He read through each technique carefully.

It wasn’t dissatisfaction, but rather a genuine sense of being dazzled—not knowing which to pick.

Until time was nearly up.

Qin Yu then discovered a superior Spirit Grade Cultivation Technique called "Hundred Rivers Return to the Sea Technique."

This technique, when activated, doubled the speed of absorbing and refining Spiritual Qi. The key was, it could synchronize with one’s own Spiritual Power, letting Spiritual Qi converge in the Dantian like rivers flowing to the sea, forming a grand scale of all rivers converging.

Moreover, as the cultivator’s Spiritual Power improved, the cultivation speed wouldn’t just double—it could even triple or quadruple.

Frankly, this technique was perfect for Qin Yu. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Ordinarily, for a cultivator to strengthen their Spiritual Power is much harder than raising their Cultivation Realm.

But this didn’t apply to him at all.

As long as his Flame Points were enough, he could quickly boost his Spiritual Power.

Without hesitation, he decisively slotted his token into the groove in the middle of the stone stele. As he chose the technique, a streak of light flashed overhead like a meteor and landed in front of Qin Yu.

The array faded automatically, revealing a beast-skin scroll.

Qin Yu didn’t examine it closely—he collected it and turned to leave.

Exiting the Library Pavilion, Qin Yu respectfully handed the two selected cultivation techniques to the two Guardian Elders waiting nearby for their review.

"Cultivation Techniques from the Library Pavilion are only for disciples’ focused study over one month. Regardless of your comprehension, you must return them on time. Do not keep or leak them outside. Violators receive sect punishment."

One of the Guardian Elders, eyes sharp as a torch, flipped through quickly, then gently handed the techniques back to Qin Yu, with an undeniable authority in his tone.

"Disciple understands."

Qin Yu replied, following the attendant out.

Soon after, the attendant came back—it seemed she’d asked the two elders something.

Then the attendant left, returning to the Sect Leader’s Cave Mansion.
