Chapter 353: An Open Scheme

Xiao Fan nodded in agreement, knowing that Warrior Feng was already giving him special treatment.

He was not a Disciple of Wudao Peak, so naturally, he could not be allowed to take the Cultivation Techniques away.

"Thank you, Elder." Xiao Fan bowed deeply to Warrior Feng.

"Alright, I will wait for you outside. You have two hours to browse."

Warrior Feng chuckled, turned around, and left the side hall.

Within the massive side hall, only Xiao Fan remained. He turned his gaze toward the Cultivation Techniques on the surrounding shelves.

"Ordinary Cultivation Techniques are useless to me. Let's look at Martial Skills…"

Xiao Fan murmured. In truth, the thing he lacked least was Cultivation Techniques.

Previously in the Outer Sect Scripture Pavilion, the Cultivation Techniques he had read were all Martial Skill types: spear techniques, sword techniques, and saber techniques.

Only those were of some use to Xiao Fan.

With the star chart, the thing Xiao Fan lacked least were basic Cultivation Techniques for his cultivation.

Even though he clearly could have spent another two months cleaning the Outer Sect Scripture Pavilion…

Xiao Fan had never returned.

It was because the Outer Sect Scripture Pavilion was no longer of much use to him.

Xiao Fan exhaled and began to look through the Cultivation Techniques within the side hall.

"There are many Yellow Rank ones, and quite a few Profound Rank ones too…"

Xiao Fan murmured as he looked around, discovering that the majority of the Cultivation Techniques here were of the Yellow and Profound Ranks.

His gaze shifted toward the row of Earth Rank and Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques, and he walked over to inspect them.

"Earth Fiend Fist…"

Xiao Fan's gaze landed on a fist technique, which had a separate note below stating it was a Heaven Rank Low Grade Cultivation Technique.

He wanted to pick it up, but found that he could not touch the manual…

"What is this?"

Xiao Fan was a bit dazed. There was no Restriction on the manual, but when he reached out to touch it, the manual seemed transparent, and his palm passed right through it.

"These Cultivation Techniques can only be viewed by becoming a Disciple of Wudao Peak…"

At that moment, Warrior Feng's voice suddenly drifted into Xiao Fan's ears…

This gave him a start.

That old geezer…

Xiao Fan cursed in his heart as he realized the reason. This was another trap set by Warrior Feng.

Letting him in, but only for two hours a day, and not allowing him to take the manuals away.

And the Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques here couldn't even be read…

He could only stare at them!

Wasn't this just baiting him?

Xiao Fan exhaled, seeing right through Warrior Feng's scheme.

Strictly speaking, this wasn't a hidden plot; calling it an 'open scheme' would be more appropriate.

Xiao Fan gave up on trying to read the Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique… He didn't lack them anyway.

The Spirit-Devouring Moon Slash he had recently learned was a Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique, and it was definitely a very powerful one even among its rank.

"Biting off more than one can chew…"

Xiao Fan murmured without any sense of loss, shifting his gaze to the Earth-Rank Cultivation Techniques to the side.

This was a sword technique. This time there was no issue, and Xiao Fan picked up the manual directly.

It wasn't an original ancient text, but a transcribed copy.

Xiao Fan began to examine it, reading intently…

Outside the side hall…

Warrior Feng had not left. Although he was outside, it was easy for him to use his Divine Sense to check on what Xiao Fan was doing inside.

"Why isn't this fellow in a hurry…"

Warrior Feng murmured in a low voice. In reality, it wasn't that he didn't want to let Xiao Fan see those Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques.

The truth was, his Wudao Peak didn't actually have any Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques; what he had said before was mostly exaggeration.

After all, he was planning to trick Xiao Fan into coming to Wudao Peak. How could he succeed without making things sound enticing?

Within the Jixian Sect, the only complete Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques left were secret manuals kept by the Ancestor of Jixian Sect.

Let alone a Disciple, even as the Peak Master of Wudao Peak, he would have to pay a significant price and endure the Ancestor of Jixian Sect's moods just to view them.

"This kid isn't falling for it…"

When Warrior Feng told Xiao Fan earlier that he could view those Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques by joining Wudao Peak, he was naturally lying.

Once Xiao Fan actually joined Wudao Peak, he would deal with the rest then.

As it turned out, Xiao Fan appeared very indifferent toward the Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques… showing no sense of urgency at all.

"The mysteries surrounding him are growing. If he doesn't possess some incredibly formidable Cultivation Technique, then he's a fool…"

Warrior Feng naturally didn't believe Xiao Fan was a fool.

That left only one possibility: Xiao Fan possessed an even stronger Cultivation Technique.

Although Warrior Feng was curious, he had no intention of asking.

After all, this concerned Xiao Fan's secrets.

In the world of cultivation, opportunities depend on fate; some things should not be forced.

Time flew by…

If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't even be able to finish reading a single Profound Rank Cultivation Technique in these two hours.

Much less learn it…

But Xiao Fan was different. He possessed the Enlightenment Seed, which always produced miraculous effects at times like this.

It greatly enhanced Xiao Fan's power of comprehension.

Even if he couldn't fully master every Cultivation Technique he saw, he could still manage to memorize them.

He didn't look at cultivation-type techniques, focusing all his attention on sword and spear techniques instead.

These Martial Skills were of the greatest help to him.

As for Spell-type techniques, his cultivation was only at the Tongtian Realm; even if he learned them now, the effects wouldn't be very significant.

Not all Cultivation Techniques were as powerful as the Ji Family's Azure Flame Art or the Xie Family's lightning art.

Two hours later…

Xiao Fan walked out of the side hall.

Outside the side hall, Warrior Feng sized Xiao Fan up curiously.

He became even more convinced that this boy definitely possessed a supreme treasure!

It was no joke… how could a normal person enter such a treasure-filled place and come out voluntarily without being called?
