Compared to the first floor, there were far fewer people on the second floor of the Book Collection Pavilion.
The martial arts on the second floor were all top-notch, with power and value surpassing those of first-class martial arts.
Those top-notch combat martial arts and body techniques also consumed much more True Qi than first-class martial arts, and even if an ordinary Meridian Passage Realm martial artist successfully cultivated them, the consumption would be very high.
Therefore, only martial artists above the True Qi Realm would choose to cultivate top-notch martial arts.
In the Martial Academy, the number of disciples in the True Qi Realm and Meridian Passage Realm were roughly the same.
However, the disciples who were able to advance to the True Qi Realm had been in the Martial Academy for a long time and had already cultivated suitable martial arts.
Top-notch martial arts were valuable and difficult to cultivate, so most disciples would only cultivate one or two.
Lu Yun went directly to the section on body techniques.
He could still only see the names and introductions of the martial arts.
Ripple Step: Based on the sixty-four hexagrams of the eight diagrams, the cultivator follows a specific sequence of hexagram directions from the first step to the last, completing a full circle. This body technique is subtle and unpredictable.
Wind God Step: With the cultivation of this body technique, the body becomes light and nimble, and one can move silently and unseen, like the wind god descending upon the world.
Hundred Changes Divine Movement: When cultivated to perfection, one can travel thousands of miles in a day. In battle, the body becomes as flexible as a loach, able to move effortlessly between powerful opponents without a scratch.
Since Lu Yun was not in a hurry, he carefully read each of them.
Body techniques were different from other martial arts. Even if cultivated successfully, they would not increase one’s strength as much as other combat martial arts. Additionally, their cultivation difficulty was not much different from other martial arts, so most people would not waste time cultivating body techniques.
Lu Yun had the panel, so as long as he had enough energy points, he could quickly improve.
However, this did not mean he would choose a body technique randomly—only the one that suited him best would be the most effective.
As expected from the Martial Academy’s Book Collection Pavilion, there were dozens of top-notch body techniques to choose from.
After reviewing them all, Lu Yun hesitated between the Sky Light Cloud Shadow Step and the Gale Thunder Flash Step.
He liked both body techniques and found it difficult to choose between them for a moment.
“Although the Sky Light Cloud Shadow Step is also quite good, the Gale Thunder Flash Step suits my combat style better.”
Lu Yun was not an indecisive person. On the contrary, he was very resolute and quickly made a decision.
Having settled on a body technique, Lu Yun headed to the area for internal martial arts.
The next stage after reaching the peak of the Meridian Passage Realm was advancing to the True Qi Realm and refining True Qi.
Since his Pure Yang Aura was now at perfection and he had entered the peak of the Meridian Passage Realm, it was time for him to choose a top-notch martial art to refine his aggressive aura.
There were only about ten martial arts for refining True Qi, but those collected by the Martial Academy’s Book Collection Pavilion were the absolute best of the best.
Profound Water Refining Technique, Ferocious Fire Refining Technique, Longevity Refining Technique, Heavy Earth Refining Technique, Golden Sun Refining Technique, Cold Ice Refining Technique, and so on.
Each refining technique had nine refinements.
In other words, as long as any refining technique was cultivated to perfection, True Qi could be refined nine times.
Moreover, each refining technique yielded different effects when refining True Qi.
So, after the True Qi Realm, the attributes of True Qi among different martial artists would begin to vary.
Because Lu Yun had cultivated the Pure Yang Aura, his True Qi was extremely yang and aggressive, and he could only choose between the Ferocious Fire Refining Technique and the Golden Sun Refining Technique.
“The Golden Sun Refining Technique is more similar to the Pure Yang Aura, so I’ll choose that.”
“Hmm, peak of the Meridian Passage Realm, 1 can refine my True Qi now.”
When Lu Yun took out the Gale Thunder Flash Step and Golden Sun Refining Technique, the elder in charge of guarding the Book Collection Pavilion glanced at him and nodded slightly.
“Top-notch martial arts originals are not allowed to be taken out of the Book Collection Pavilion. Please wait a moment.”
The elder of the Book Collection Pavilion put down two martial arts books, said a faint sentence, and walked inside.
It only took him a dozen breaths of time before he reappeared with two gray-white booklets in his hand, the handwritten copies of Gale Thunder Flash Step and Golden Sun Refining Technique.
“Gale Thunder Flash Step costs 750 Contribution Points, and Golden Sun Refining Technique costs 1000 Contribution Points. Also, these handwritten copies cannot be passed on or damaged. They must be returned within a month; otherwise, you will face punishment, which may include expulsion from the Martial Academy and the revocation of your cultivation.”
The elder from the Book Collection Pavilion spoke indifferently, seemingly not recognizing Lu Yun, the disciple who had become famous in the Martial Academy.
Lu Yun responded, took out his identity token, and deducted 1,750 Contribution Points. With a heavy heart, he took his leave.
Spending nearly half of his Contribution Points in one go, it would be a lie if Lu Yun wasn’t feeling the pinch.
This was just the beginning.
“1’11 exchange for another Sumi Bag and use the rest to exchange for pills!” Lu Yun thought to himself.
Having made the decision, Lu Yun quickened his pace and arrived at the Weapon Tower.
Within ten minutes, he left the Weapon Tower with a purple Sumi Bag on his waist, his Contribution Points decreasing by another 300.
Afterward, he headed to the Pill Medicine Building.
Lu Yun’s choice was still Meridian Pills.
Meridian Pills cost 120 Contribution Points per bottle, and Lu Yun exchanged for twenty bottles.
Originally, he was short of five Contribution Points, but after some haggling from Lu Yun, the result was self-explanatory.
After one day of visiting the Book Collection Pavilion, Weapon Tower, and Pill Medicine Building, not a single one of his 4,000-plus Contribution Points remained.
While Lu Yun felt heartache, he didn’t regret it. He hurriedly left the Pill Medicine Building and couldn’t wait to go back and work on improving himself. In the Cultivation Room of his small courtyard, Lu Yun sat cross-legged, took out the Meridian Pills from his Sumi Bag, and prepared to convert them into energy values.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
Suddenly, there came a knock on the door from outside.
“Who’s that blind fool?!”
Lu Yun frowned slightly, feeling unhappy in his heart, but he still went to open the door.
Creak—
The courtyard door opened, revealing a somewhat familiar face. It was Mu Qingyun, the one who had troubled him time and time again in the past. “It’s you, huh? What is it, are you here to challenge me?” Lu Yun’s mouth curved into a mocking smile as he spoke in a taunting tone.
He had no good feelings toward Mu Qingyun in the first place.
Adding to the fact that this guy had disturbed him without reason, naturally, he wouldn’t treat him kindly.
“Lu, my brother, there may have been some misunderstandings between us.”
Mu Qingyun’s face was piled with smiles, appearing very bashful. If one didn’t know him, they’d think he was a shy and reserved young man.
“Oh, really?” Lu Yun leaned against the door, rubbing his chin with his right hand, and spoke thoughtfully: “But don’t we have quite a few misunderstandings? The first time was in Cloud Water County, and the second time was at the Myriad Phenomena Tower.”
“In both instances, you initiated the trouble with me.”
Mu Qingyun revealed an extremely remorseful expression and said with a bitter smile, “Back then, I didn’t know the height of the sky or the depth of the earth. Relying on my little talent and the lack of setbacks I encountered in Cloud Water County, I became arrogant and thought the world revolved around me. Because of that, I offended you, brother Lu, and 1 truly shouldn’t have!” “After entering the Martial Academy, 1 learned that there are people beyond people, and skies beyond the sky. I regret my past actions immensely.” “Fortunately, 1 realized this early enough and deeply understood that brother Lu’s talent and abilities are ten times better than mine. Even if I can’t befriend you, I shouldn’t have offended you. That’s why I came to visit and clear up the misunderstandings from before.”
Mu Qingyun didn’t hide it, directly stating his intentions.
Lu Yun observed Mu Qingyun with great interest, trying to discern something from his face and expression.
To his disappointment, all he saw on Mu Qingyun’s face was a sincere smile..
