Chapter 428: Chapter 224: Abundant Harvests (Part 2)

Jiang Feng opened it and discovered that it was actually a profound Disguise Technique. Once cultivated to a certain level, one could achieve Shifting Form and Shadow, fooling even Qi Condensation Realm Peak cultivators without any flaws.

"Heavens are truly helping me!"

Jiang Feng was overjoyed inside.

He was being hunted by the Great Tang Royal Family and pursued by the Divine Sect. If he could successfully master Thousand Faces, he would be able to gain a brand-new identity and escape the Royal Family and Divine Sect operatives.

Compared to the Sword Control Technique and Five Elements Array, this Thousand Faces really is a lifesaver.

He couldn’t wait to sweep through the book’s content with his Spiritual Sense. After scanning, he glanced at his attribute panel.

Skills: Flame Saber (Mastery+), Wind Control (Mastery+), Five Elements Array (Beginner+), Sword Control Technique (Beginner+), Thousand Faces (Beginner+)

After making sure it was recorded on his panel, Jiang Feng put Thousand Faces back in its original place.

"If you like it, just take it— even if someone discovers it, nobody would think you took it."

Little Cyan Snake reminded him.

It had clearly seen Jiang Feng’s heart speed up and joy overflow when he found Thousand Faces; his excitement was written all over his face.

But after sweeping it with his Spiritual Sense, he just put Thousand Faces back.

"Taking it is useless—cultivating this Disguise Technique costs too much mental energy. It’s better to just buy a mask that can hide my aura."

Jiang Feng shook his head.

Little Cyan Snake was speechless, feeling Jiang Feng was cheating it, but Jiang Feng really didn’t touch Thousand Faces again. Could he really memorize all its contents with just a sweep?

Even so, he would forget after some time.

Does he not know the logic of reviewing to refresh knowledge?

Jiang Feng went to the third row of bookshelves.

Using both eyes and Spiritual Sense, he didn’t miss a single book.

Just by the title, Jiang Feng often couldn’t tell if it was a Cultivation Technique or Magical Techniques and Divine Power. Whenever he was in doubt, he’d take down the book for a closer look, and if it was no help to him, he put it back.

This third row of books—

had great variety.

Human Martial Arts took up a large part.

There were also quite a few Wild History Biographies.

There were even secret accounts of the Divine Sect and the Underground Palace. Jiang Feng looked closely, but the contents weren’t useful as references, and he couldn’t tell if they were true or not.

Especially the descriptions about the Underground Palace.

The book said: the Dragon Capital Underground Palace is a sealed Hell. Whoever causes the Underground Palace to appear before the world is opening the Gate of Hell and will bring catastrophic disaster to this world.

Jiang Feng frowned.

He thought this was just alarmist nonsense.

It could even be lies left by the Royal Family or Divine Sect to keep people away from the Underground Palace.

But regardless of whether the Underground Palace was Hell or not, or what was inside, Jiang Feng didn’t care for now. He just wanted to avoid the Great Tang Royal Family and Divine Sect’s pursuit and live freely again under the sunlight.

His gaze and Spiritual Sense swept over the lowest row of books on the shelves.

Mysterious Nether Spear Technique.

His gaze was drawn to a spear technique book.

Jiang Feng picked it up for a look.

He originally thought it was Human Martial Arts, a spear technique cultivated by Innate Powerhouses, but unexpectedly, it was a Magic Sect cultivation manual for Martial Cultivators—overbearing and pure, able to compete with the Sword Control Technique.

One move within, called Shadow-Following Form, created an impenetrable polearm defense; even a Cultivation Powerhouse’s Sword-Controlling Divine Power couldn’t get close.

"I’m a cultivator now. Even if this Mysterious Nether Spear Technique can rival the Sword Control Technique, I probably can’t train in it!"

Jiang Feng muttered inwardly.

But still, out of habit, he swept the book with his Spiritual Sense.

After finishing,

Jiang Feng checked his attribute panel.

Skills: Flame Saber (Mastery+), Wind Control (Mastery+), Five Elements Array (Beginner+), Sword Control Technique (Beginner+), Thousand Faces (Beginner+), Mysterious Nether Spear Technique (Beginner+)

"It actually got recorded."

"Could it be that I can also cultivate Magic Sect manuals for Martial Refiners?"

"It’s said the Second Prince became the Divine Sect Saint Heir because of his Immortal Martial Dual Cultivation. Could it be that I, too, can pursue Immortal Martial Dual Cultivation?"

"Or perhaps the attribute panel makes my cultivation boundless, with no barriers?"

Jiang Feng thought silently.

He even wanted to try adding Fortune Points to Mysterious Nether Spear Technique to see how far he could improve it.

On the surface, he put the book back.

"We’ve been in here about an hour, right?"

Jiang Feng asked.

"If you hadn’t tied me up, I’d have eaten all the Spirit Rice already."

Little Cyan Snake weakly wrote out a line.

"What about all these swords, sabers, and staves—what are they? Magical Artifacts?"

Jiang Feng approached the weapons covered in the dust of ages. He picked up a spear—surprisingly light, as it was made of wood.

He squeezed it forcefully but couldn’t leave a mark. Gripping even harder, the wooden spear only gradually bent when he used all his strength.

Jiang Feng quickly let go.

This wooden spear had unusual material.

But its level was still a bit lacking.

He then picked up a broadsword.

The dust fell away by itself.

A resonant saber cry rang from the blade, a burst of sharp aura shining inside the Treasure Vault.

"Hmm?"

"Not good!"

Jiang Feng’s expression suddenly changed.

This saber cry happened so abruptly—he hadn’t expected it at all. It echoed through the Treasure Vault. What if the people outside heard it?

"Go, now!"

He threw down the broadsword, grabbed the more than two thousand Spirit Stones, and rushed out of the Treasure Vault with Little Cyan Snake. Using the Blinding Technique, he sealed the entrance, then man and snake plunged into the pool, coming out into another passageway.

"Quick, activate the Restriction Array!"
