Chapter 131 - Ancient Blazing Sun Palace, Zhao Pu Sends a Sword

Chapter 131: Ancient Blazing Sun Palace, Zhao Pu Sends a Sword

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wu Ziyuan of the Mu faction was one of the three Grand Elders of the Nine Mystic Sword Sect.

He was a peak-level Earth Realm expert.

The last time when they received the Sword Pavilion elders, the three Grand Elders had all taken action to fight the experts of the Wind Spirit Sword Sect.

When Han Muye was in the Sword Pavilion, he couldn’t even resist a look from the Sect Master.

At this moment, Wu Ziyuan looked over, and a powerful pressure descended.

A thick sword qi rose from Han Muye’s body, turning into an astral light that shielded his body.

Mystic Sun Technique.

This powerful sword technique that could condense first-grade sword qi could be cultivated at the same time. There were no blind spots at all.

At this moment, the Mystic Sun Technique automatically protected his body and could directly block the pressure of an expert like the Grand Elder.

Wu Ziyuan’s expression changed. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the small bronze sword that Han Muye had inserted in his hair.

“Sword Pavilion disciple?”

“Sword caretaker?”

Han Muye nodded and took out his identity token.

“Elder, I want to enter the library to read cultivation techniques.”

Although he had already comprehended the Golden Sun Technique after reading Shen Muyang’s performance technique, there were original books in the library. He might be able to gain something if he flipped through them.

“A direct disciple?” Wu Ziyuan was stunned again.

Elder Su Liang, who was standing at the side, also revealed a strange expression.

She knew that Han Muye was an official disciple of the Sword Pavilion, but she did not know when he had become a direct disciple.

In the Sword Sect, the position of a direct disciple was extremely precious, and it represented one’s status in the sect.

A disciple of the Sword Pavilion was qualified to become a direct disciple?

Wu Ziyuan’s eyes lit up. He nodded and said, “Since you’re a direct disciple, you’re naturally qualified to enter the library.

However, you can’t read the books for more than six hours at a time. You can’t copy them or damage them.

You are not allowed to go to the third floor without the permission of the two Grand Elders.”

These rules were what an important place in the sect like the library should have.

Moreover, the rules here were much simpler than in the Sword Pavilion.

The rules of the Sword Pavilion were really troublesome.

For example, ‘If I say you’re not at peace, you’re not.’

Or ‘Don’t argue. If you do, go home and calm down.’

“Thank you, Elder.” Han Muye put away the token and walked into the library.

“Who is this kid?” Wu Ziyuan turned to look at Elder Su Liang when he saw him enter the library.

“From the Sword Pavilion.” Elder Su Liang shook her head and said softly, “I’m not sure about other details.”

Really.

She thought that she had some understanding of this Sword Pavilion disciple.

At this moment, she knew too little.

“Today, Patriarch Tao Ran refined the Void Meridian Pill. After Han Muye observed it, he said that the Void Meridian Pill might be able to simplify the pill formula.

His comprehension of alchemy is very strong.”

As Elder Su Liang spoke, she walked into the library.

As an elder of the Pill Hall, she was qualified to enter the library.

Wu Ziyuan narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment before following her into the library.

The structure of the library was similar to the Sword Pavilion. As soon as they walked in, the fragrance of books wafted.

A sect needed to have enough history, be it a Sword Pavilion or a library.

This was the weight of the foundation.

A sect without a foundation would not be able to go far.

On the first floor of the library, there were rows of bookshelves. There were all kinds of books, bamboo slips, and jade slips.

The bookshelves were also marked with the attribute and aptitude a cultivation technique belonged to.

For example, the bookshelf closest to Han Muye was tagged with: Metal-type, below grade six aptitude.

Several bookshelves were similarly tagged.

The Golden Sun Technique that Han Muye was looking for should be Fire-type, followed by grade seven aptitude.

Following the tags on the bookshelf, he found a seventh-grade aptitude, fire attribute in just a moment.

On the bookshelves were fire-attribute cultivation techniques and sword techniques.

He scanned them quickly.

Hundreds of ancient books were listed.

Rising Fire Swordsmanship.

Cold Smoke Mantra.

Green Smoke Swordsmanship.

…

After searching, Han Muye frowned.

There was no Golden Sun Technique.

He was confident that he would not miss it.

He turned around and walked back to the hall in front of the library. Grand Elder Wu Ziyuan stood there with his hands behind his back.

“What cultivation technique? You didn’t find it?”

Wu Ziyuan looked at Han Muye.

“Elder, I want to find the Golden Sun Technique’s ancient records.” Han Muye cupped his hands.

“Golden Sun Technique?” Wu Ziyuan stroked his beard and pointed to the second floor. “That’s an ancient book. Go to the second floor and browse.

These ancient cultivation techniques can be referenced, but there’s not much meaning in cultivating them.”

It seemed that because of Han Muye’s status as a direct disciple, Wu Ziyuan specially instructed him.

“Thank you for your reminder, Elder.” Han Muye cupped his hands again, then stepped onto the second floor.

The space on the second floor was also vast. There were a few elders and disciples of the Sword Sect in green and white robes reading books.

However, no one looked up when Han Muye arrived.

Time was precious in the library. No one would waste it now.

Han Muye followed the tags on the bookshelf and found the location where the ancient books of fire attribute were stored. After searching for a moment, he saw a cultivation technique tagged ‘Golden Sun Technique’.

It was a pale yellow book with simple words.

This was not the original but a copy of the original.

He reached out and flipped open the Golden Sun Technique. The words on it were indeed much more obscure.

Not only did this Golden Sun Technique record cultivation techniques, but it also recorded the origins of the Golden Sun Technique.

It was one of the basic techniques of the Blazing Sun Palace.

In the ancient times, there was a large sect in the Western Frontier that cultivated with Mu Lieyang’s cultivation technique. It gathered the power of the nine suns in the world and became invincible.

The Golden Sun Technique was only one of the Nine Suns Cultivation Techniques.

The ancient Western Frontier was constantly in war. In the end, the Blazing Sun Palace was destroyed by a powerful sword cultivator.

A powerful sword cultivator?

Han Muye couldn’t help but think of Sword Master Yuan Tian, who had dominated the world back then.

Could it be that this person destroyed the Blazing Sun Palace?

In Han Muye’s opinion, the power of the sun cultivated by the Golden Sun Technique was a profound technique.

He wondered what the cultivation technique that gathered the nine suns would look like.

After flipping through the entire cultivation technique, he placed the book back on the bookshelf and looked at the other cultivation techniques.

They were all ancient books. Since he was here, he might as well read a few more.

In six hours, he had read dozens of cultivation technique books.

Just as Wu Ziyuan had said, most of these cultivation techniques were meaningless.

Many of the cultivation techniques recorded in the books cost a lot, and the gains were very small.

In ancient times, there was no lack of spiritual energy. This way, he could still cultivate.

The spiritual energy in the current cultivation world was thin. If one cultivated such a cultivation technique, one would probably never be able to enter the Qi Condensation Realm.

When the six hours were up, he consciously put down the book and walked downstairs.

At this moment, Patriarch Tao Ran was already standing on the first floor with Wu Ziyuan and Elder Su Liang. Beside him was an old man in a green robe.

“How is it? Have you found the Golden Sun Technique?” Seeing Han Muye come down, Wu Ziyuan looked at him.

Han Muye nodded and said, “I’ve already read it and gained something.

Unfortunately, of the Nine Suns Techniques in the Blazing Sun Palace, we only have the Golden Sun.”

This was somewhat regrettable.

“The Nine Suns Techniques of the Blazing Sun Palace?” Patriarch Tao Ran thought for a moment and said, “I know where the ruins of the Blazing Sun Palace are. I’ll take you there when I have the chance.

I went there when I was studying the Fire Lineage cultivation technique.”

At this point, he looked at Han Muye and smiled. “Kid, the simplified formula for the Void Meridian Pill you mentioned makes sense. I found some records in ancient books that simplified the formula.”

It naturally made sense, and he had already comprehended the refinement method.

Han Muye smiled and said, “As long as it’s useful to Patriarch.”

Patriarch Tao Ran turned to Elder Su Liang and the green-robed old man and said, “Su Liang, Sun Ce, the simplified research on the Void Meridian Pill might be a chance for our Nine Mystic Sword Sect to rise in the alchemy world.”

Elder Su Liang and the medical hall elder named Sun Ce nodded.

“That’s right. If we can simplify the Void Meridian Pill, it might become the exclusive pill of the Sword Sect.

At that time, it would be extremely beneficial for the disciples of the Sword Sect to break through to the Earth Realm, sell them, and befriend the various sects.”

The old man named Sun Ce said excitedly.

“You’re in charge of the medical hall. Think about it. I’ll go to Mushen City and hand this simplified pill formula to Old Man Mu.” Patriarch Tao Ran chuckled, full of pride.

It seemed that being appreciated by the Mu family’s patriarch was an extremely glorious thing for him.

Without lingering in the library, Patriarch Tao Ran, Elder Su Liang, and the others continued to go to the medical hall to refine pills.

Before leaving, Patriarch Tao Ran generously gave the Void Meridian Pill that he had just refined to Han Muye.

Such a high-quality Void Meridian Pill was not cheaper than a high-quality, semi-spiritual weapon.

At least 200,000 spiritual rocks.

It was still the kind that was priceless.

This scene made Wu Ziyuan and Sun Ce curious.

Could this Han Muye be the last disciple of Patriarch Tao Ran?

Otherwise, how could he bear to give it to him?

Of course, they did not know that Patriarch Tao Ran was doing this to return Han Muye’s favor for guiding him in alchemy.

Although Han Muye only gave a few pointers, it allowed Patriarch Tao Ran to find the direction to refine the supreme-grade Void Meridian Pill.

If he did not return this favor, Gao Changgong would definitely laugh at him when he returned to the Sword Pavilion.

Gao Changgong was very protective.

Han Muye left the library and did not return to the Sword Pavilion directly. Instead, he headed to the market outside the Pill Hall.

Suzhen Store.

“Senior Brother Han, it’s been a long time.” Bai Suzhen smiled when she saw Han Muye.

Han Muye handed the copy of the ‘Three Lives Technique’ he had obtained from the cultivator’s cave abode to Bai Suzhen and said, “This is the spiritual medicine needed to refine the Void Meridian Pill. If there’s a chance, help me collect some.”

Void Meridian Pill!

Bai Suzhen’s smile widened.

“Okay, okay, I’ll definitely collect some.

Senior Brother Han, the Void Meridian Pill is much more precious than the Energy Nurturing Pill and the Cloud Qi Pill!

Senior Brother, if you can still refine supreme-grade pills, you’ll really become rich.”

Every pill needed to break through to the Earth Realm was precious.

If it was supreme-grade, its price was comparable to a spiritual weapon.

Without hundreds of thousands of spiritual rocks, it was impossible.

Han Muye didn’t say much to Bai Suzhen. He took some spiritual herbs to refine the Cloud Qi Pill and Energy Nurturing Pill and left.

The more enthusiastic Bai Suzhen was, the further away he wanted to be.

He was a decent man.

“Dong—”

Just as he returned to the Sword Pavilion, the bell on the Nine Mystic Mountain rang.

A disciple had returned victorious.

“Zhao Pu of Three Stones House killed a Foundation Establishment demon and sent a sword to the pavilion.”

Han Muye and Huang Six stood at the entrance of the Sword Pavilion. Zhao Pu of Three Stones House led a few disciples behind him. They were dressed in red robes and carried swords with both hands.

To be able to ring the bell, this sword was at least a semi-spiritual weapon.

As expected, Han Muye reached out to take the sword and felt the sword energy in it.

“I’ve received a semi-spiritual long sword today. I’ll put it away.”

After confirming that there were no mistakes, Han Muye walked into the Sword Pavilion with the sword.

Han Muye was a little curious about the demon expert’s sword.

The sword qi entered the hilt, and an image appeared in his mind.

The forging method of the sword was not complicated. After all, it was only a semi-spiritual weapon.

The original owner of this sword was not a demon, but an elder of a small sect.

This small sect’s sword technique was ordinary. The sword technique he comprehended was only equivalent to the Nine Mystic Sword Sect’s One Mystic Sword Technique.

No wonder this elder did not escape from the hands of the Foundation Establishment demons.

Demons.

From the images in his mind, Han Mu saw a demon with a human body and a demon head for the first time.
