“Absolutely not,” Yue Wanling dismissed the notion without much consideration. “The Scorching Sun Sect lacks understanding of the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique, so why should they withhold it from us? Besides, it would be a reckless waste to let such a magnificent masterpiece technique collect dust in the library.”

“That may be true, but it’s ultimately their possession. We can’t control their decisions,” Cheng Xu replied.

“How do you even know that the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique belongs to the Scorching Sun Sect?”

“Isn’t that the case?”

“In the current cultivation world, how many sects truly inherit techniques exclusively from their own families?” Yue Wanling curled her lips and scoffed. “Enough of your overthinking. When you obtain the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique, you’ll probably be happier than anyone else.”

With those words, Yue Wanling led the way and gestured for Cheng Xu to follow suit.

Cheng Xu shook his head in speechless amusement and silently trailed behind, assuming the handsome appearance from his previous life.

Yue Wanling had already mapped out the route.

After a while, they bypassed the patrolling disciples, guided by Yue Wanling, and arrived at the main peak of the Scorching Sun Sect, where the library tower stood. Yue Wanling took out a piece of transparent gauze and wrapped them around it.

By the way, where did you obtain all these peculiar items?” Cheng Xu asked with envy in his eyes.

“Enough chatter. We’re stealing right now, not going on a leisurely outing,” Yue Wanling retorted.

“Oh,” Cheng Xu awkwardly fell silent.

Being a good student coming from a civilized world, he had never engaged in such clandestine activities.

However, the thrill of it felt novel and exhilarating!

Under Yue Wanling’s guidance, the two of them swiftly made their way to the rear of the library tower.

It was a tower entirely constructed from metallic components, consisting a total of six floors and protected by a layer of defensive array.

“Speaking of which, won’t people notice if we directly breach the array formation?” Cheng Xu voiced his concern.

“Of course not,” Yue Wanling replied with a mysterious smile, retrieving an object that resembled a compass from her storage bag. “Come, infuse your true essence into this magical treasure of mine.”

Cheng Xu didn’t grasp the situation, but he obediently followed Yue Wanling’s instructions and channeled his true essence into the compass.

As their vital energy was infused, a peculiar energy fluctuation emanated from the compass.

Just as their true essence was nearing depletion, Yue Wanling excitedly signaled for them to stop. “Success!”

Yue Wanling carefully pulled the compass’ legs apart, causing the array light layer in front of her to slowly peel back like supple skin.

Cheng Xu’s eyes widened. “Fairy, are you Doraemon?”

“Enough nonsense, hurry and enter,” Yue Wanling retorted, gradually revealing her true disposition. She snorted and glared at Cheng Xu before silently leaping into the array light layer. Cheng Xu followed suit closely.

After they were both inside, Yue Wanling retrieved the compasses, and the gap in the array formation’s light layer instantly sealed shut once more.

“Stay quiet and don’t make a sound! There might still be a few Scorching Sun Sect disciples guarding inside,” Yue Wanling communicated through her Divine Awareness. “Let’s climb up and enter directly from the third floor.”

Cheng Xu nodded solemnly. From the moment he entered the array, there was no way out.

Thus, both of them temporarily replenished their true essence and cautiously ascended to the tower’s third floor.

However, all the tower’s windows were sealed, leaving no access point.

To tackle this obstacle, Yue Wanling once again produced a peculiar object from her “dimensional pocket”. With a swift maneuver, the metal window was effortlessly removed by her.

At that moment, Cheng Xu could only describe this girl with a single word: Professional!

She resembled those super-skilled thieves from the movies in his previous life.

Together, they successfully infiltrated the third floor of the library tower.

“The Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique is most likely hidden on the top floor. Let’s ascend and locate it so we can make a copy,” Yue Wanling proposed.

“Make a copy? Didn’t you just take it away?” Cheng Xu questioned.

“Are you daft?” Yue Wanling retorted unhappily. “If we simply take it, the Scorching Sun Sect will undoubtedly notice. By making a copy, we can do it discreetly.”

Cheng Xu nodded slightly, in understanding. As they climbed the stairs, he inquired, “Are you confident in your ability to copy the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique?”

“What if it’s not in a written form but concealed within an object or a painting?” Cheng Xu provided an example. “Although I can use a cultivation computer to read and install it, wouldn’t 1 be courting death if it crashes for a few days?”

“Why wouldn’t I be able to copy it?” Yue Wanling appeared perplexed.

For instance, what if the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique is not in the form of text but is hidden within an object or a scroll?” Cheng Xu elaborated.

“No, it’s just an Iron Scroll containing the technique,” Yue Wanling replied without hesitation.

“Fairy, have you seen it before?” Cheng Xu inquired.

Yue Wanling smiled but remained silent.

Moments later, they reached the top floor of the tower.

The top floor had the smallest space and fewer books.

The two of them looked at each other and began to search separately.

Cheng Xu couldn’t find any trace of the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique after searching for a long time. Instead, he found an extremely powerful magic treasure production method.

It recorded a powerful magic treasure called [Substitute Xiaobao]. After refining it, it could block a fatal injury for its master and teleport the master out, leaving a corpse that looked exactly like the master on the spot.

‘Good heavens, wasn’t this equivalent to having an extra life?’

Unfortunately, the books in the library were all sealed in a special restriction.

They could be seen but not touched.

Hence, Cheng Xu thought of Yue Wanling. “Fairy, do you have a magic treasure that can open the restrictions on this?”

Yue Wanling turned around hesitantly. “You found it?’

No, I just found this magic treasure forging method quite interesting and wanted to make a copy of it.”

Yue Wanling rolled her eyes at Cheng Xu and threw him a token. “Remember, return it to me after you’re done.”

Cheng Xu was surprised and delighted. He thought it was some powerful prop.

He took a closer look and found that it was an identity card of an inner disciple of the Scorching Sun Sect.

“D*mn, you even dare to kill an inner disciple of the Scorching Sun Sect?” Cheng Xu gasped.

“1 picked it up.” Yue Wanling replied impatiently.

“Do you think 1 believe you?”

“Believe it or not.”

Yue Wanling didn’t care if Cheng Xu believed her or not and continued to search for the whereabouts of the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique.

While Cheng Xu was secretly on guard against this girl, he used the identity card to activate the restriction of [Substitute Xiaobao] and successfully read and installed it.

Then, he searched for the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique while reading the books related to refining.

“Found it!” There was good news from Yue Wanling’s side. “You hid it quite well. This little trick won’t stop me.”

Cheng Xu was pleasantly surprised and went forward to take a look. He saw that the secret compartment of the bookshelf in front of Yue Wanling was slowly opening up, revealing a simple and unadorned iron scroll with dense inscriptions carved on it.

At the same time, the loading option appeared in front of him.

At a glance, he knew that it was not on the same level as the stone tablet in the Medicine Immortal Valley.

He tried to load it and did not install it for the time being. As long as he did not install it, it should not be a problem.

It turned out that the Heavenly Treasure Refining Technique was indeed not on the same level as the Mantra of Medicine. After activating the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye, it took less than an hour to successfully load it into the cultivation computer, but he did not dare to install it directly for the time being.

During the reading process, Cheng Xu also successfully experienced the full effect of the first layer of the Ten Thousand Arts Evil Eye.

In addition to the spiritual impact, there was another effect that allowed one to absorb spiritual energy from the void. Moreover, the rate of absorption was quite fast, almost doubling the concentration of spiritual energy in the surroundings.

The only drawback was that it consumed a lot of spiritual energy, which was equivalent to consuming spiritual energy to increase his cultivation speed.

Even so, it was still a big surprise for Cheng Xu.

“Transcription complete!”

Yue Wanling put away the Jade slip with satisfaction, then carefully returned the secret bookshelf to its original state. “Let’s go. I’ll make a copy for you when we get out.”

Cheng Xu hesitantly looked at the Artifact Refinement manuals in the library. “Since you’re already here, why don’t you stay a little longer?”

“It’s not impossible. The Scorching Sun Sect’s collection of books on refining is quite comprehensive.” Yue Wanling’s eyes flickered.

As she spoke, she took out the second Scorching Sun Sect disciple identity card from her storage bag.

Cheng Xu was stunned. “You killed more than one?”

Yue Wanling rolled her eyes at him.

“Then where did you get these two identity cards?”

“So many disciples of your sects have died in the joint operation. Is it difficult for me to take the opportunity to get two identity cards? I have the identity cards of the other three sects, let alone the Scorching Sun Sect.” Yue Wanling pouted.

“Uh, alright.”

Following that, Cheng Xu began to read through the Artifact Refining manuals in the library.

Yue Wanling could only copy them one by one with the Jade slips, making Cheng Xu feel extremely superior.

It couldn’t be helped. This was the difference in technology.

The two of them copied and read from the top floor all the way back to the third floor. In the blink of an eye, it was the third day. The disciples on duty downstairs changed shifts several times, but they did not notice the two of them.

At this moment, Cheng Xu’s [Equipment Refining] application had expanded to 475.2MB, and his Equipment Refining skills had also risen.

[Artifact Refining]

[Equipment Refining Theory: Level 10]

[Refining ability: Advanced]

Cheng Xu was satisfied.

After they were done, the two of them went to the familiar window at the same time.

After jumping out of the window, after Yue Wanling’s miraculous operation, the window that was cut open actually sealed up perfectly, and there was no trace of it at all.

Next, it was the familiar Compass opening the light layer of the formation.

Just as the two of them were halfway through injecting their true essence, a loud sound suddenly came from the mountains, followed by a violent tremor, which scared the two of them.

Yue Wanling was also frightened, but she quickly calmed down. “Don’t panic.

The commotion seems to be coming from the exhibition.”

Cheng Xu looked at the mountain peak where the exhibition was held in shock. He saw that it was already enveloped by a ball of Demonic Qi, and there was a faint sound of intense battle.

“What was going on?”

“The demonic path is starting to act again?”

“Didn’t they say that the demonic path had already restrained itself a lot? Why did they attack the sect directly?”

“Don’t be distracted. Let’s hurry up and open the array formation first.” While Yue Wanling was surprised, her expression was secretly happy. “With the demonic path doing this, we’re actually safer.”

Cheng Xu looked at Yue Wanling suspiciously. “Why do 1 feel like the demons are cooperating with you to retreat?”

“You suspect that I’m from the Demon sect?” Yue Wanling’s beautiful eyes widened.

“A little, but not quite.”

Yue Wanling rolled her eyes and couldn’t be bothered with Cheng Xu.

A moment later, the light layer of the formation was successfully opened. The two of them jumped out of the formation and started to retreat toward the Scorching Sun Sect.

The Scorching Sun Sect was in a mess. Demonic Cultivators could be seen everywhere.

As the two of them retreated, they were quickly targeted by a group of Demonic Cultivators. The leader was a middle-stage Foundation Establishment feminine-looking youth with a familiar bronze bell floating beside him. He was probably another Demon heir.

“Where are you two running off to?”

The feminine-looking young man smiled evilly and blocked their path. Several claws behind him laughed evilly.

“Demon Lord, this girl’s level is a little low?”

After seeing Yue Wanling’s appearance, the Demonic Cultivators were greatly disappointed.

The feminine-looking young man waved his hand with a look of disdain. “You’ve really dirtied my eyes. Hurry up and put it out. There’s no need to be gentle with women.”

“Alright, Demon Lord!”

Several of his minions immediately surrounded Cheng Xu and Yue Wanling

Yue Wanling was not angry. As she hummed softly, the cold air around her body overflowed. The flying sword shot out from behind her. Wherever it passed, the cold wind raged and left behind a large area of Bone-piercing Ice Flowers.

Several Qi Condensation Demonic Cultivators were instantly frozen into ice sculptures, leaving only two Early-stage Foundation Establishment Demonic Cultivators alive.

When the demon heir saw this, his expression instantly turned solemn. He was about to make a move personally when he was stopped by two flying swords that were speeding over.

“Sorry, your opponent is me..”
