Chapter 3: Scripture Pavilion

Soon, Xuan Yi led the group of twenty people to a Scripture Pavilion halfway up the mountain.

"This is the Scripture Pavilion prepared for you as new disciples," Xuan Yi said. "Inside, you will find various introductory cultivation techniques."

Xuan Yi led them inside, and the first thing they encountered was a corridor. On one side of the corridor stood more than twenty cultivators dressed in inner disciple attire.

"Senior brothers and sisters, I have brought the newcomers," Xuan Yi performed a salute gesture and informed the twenty individuals, who also saluted back.

"We won't provide any hints regarding your first technique. The techniques here vary in quality, and you are free to choose. As cultivators, we value one's luck, and this is the first test of your luck," Xuan Yi explained. "After you have chosen your technique, you can approach these senior brothers and sisters and invite them. If they agree to take you under their wing, you can follow them and they will arrange your cultivation for the next month." Xuan Yi continued, "Now, you may enter the Scripture Pavilion."

With Xuan Yi's command, the twenty new disciples entered the Scripture Pavilion like a swarm of bees entering a garden.

Inside the pavilion, there were more than ten bookshelves, each holding hundreds of books.

"A ninth-grade sect has so many introductory techniques?" Ye Xiyun exclaimed in surprise.

But seeing that others had already started choosing their techniques, Ye Xiyun didn't want to delay. After all, it was mentioned earlier that once they selected their technique, they could choose their senior brothers and sisters.

The sooner he chose his technique, the sooner he could pick someone.

If he went out late, wouldn't he only have leftovers to choose from?

Ye Xiyun randomly picked up a book from the shelf, but suddenly, his body trembled.

It was because the panel that had been unresponsive all this time finally showed a reaction when he touched the technique.

[Item: Thunder Resonance Technique

Grade: Low-Level Body Refining Technique

Compatibility: 70%, Immortal Martial Body not activated, compatibility decreases by 100%, -30% cultivation success rate]

Huh?

What is this?

Negative 30%?

Can a person have a negative success rate?

What does it mean? If I cultivate this technique, not only will I not become stronger, but I'll become weaker?

Aren't you supposed to be a cheat?

Isn't the Immortal Martial Body a supreme physique? Why is it showing a negative value on me?

This is just unreasonable!

Ye Xiyun refused to believe it and picked up another technique.

[Item: Diamond Body Technique

Grade: Low-Level Body Refining Technique

Compatibility: 60%, Immortal Martial Body not activated, compatibility decreases by 100%, -40% cultivation success rate]

[Item: Qi Absorption Technique

Grade: Low-Level Qi Cultivation Technique

Compatibility: 40%, Immortal Martial Body not activated, compatibility decreases by 100%, -60% cultivation success rate (On the day of successful cultivation, the host will fart)]

What the f*ck!

Ye Xiyun slammed the manual onto the ground.

"You, who are throwing manuals around. I’ll give you a warning just once, if you do it again, you'll be expelled from the Scripture Pavilion!"

At that moment, an old man appeared out of nowhere and spoke up.

"My apologies, my apologies. It was just a slip of the hand," Ye Xiyun quickly picked up the manual from the ground and placed it back on the shelf, patting off the dirt with a forced smile on his face.

As the old man walked away, Ye Xiyun took a deep breath and looked at the books on the shelf with a serious gaze.

With so many basic techniques, I refuse to believe that I can't find one that I can cultivate.

I, Ye Xiyun, am not a man who resigns himself to fate!

[Item: Diamond Legs]

...

[Compatibility: -40%]

[Compatibility: -50%]

[Compatibility: -30%]

...

[Compatibility: -100% (Congratulations to the host for finding the Divinely Chosen manual. If you don't believe it, open it and take a look. Just one look, and you'll fart.)]

What the f*ck!!!

Ye Xiyun raised the manual in his hand, ready to smash it down.

You f*cking bully! Are you trying to bully me?

I'm a damn transmigrator! Since I transmigrated to Lingxi Town, I haven't suffered such a great injustice in the fourteen years!

I don't believe it. It really makes you fart with just one look. I want to see... forget it, forget it...

Ye Xiyun placed the Divinely Chosen manual back on the shelf.

I've even found the Divinely Chosen manual. I refuse to believe that I can't find something suitable for me to cultivate. Even if there's a 1% chance of cultivation, I will make a comeback.

And then...

Finished searching the first shelf,

Finished searching the second shelf,

Finished searching the third shelf...

...

Finished searching the third-to-last shelf,

Finished searching the second-to-last shelf,

Finished searching the last shelf...

Alright, I'm exhausted. Destroy it all!

Ye Xiyun sat on the ground, holding a manual in his hand. His legs were spread apart, and his head drooped to the side, resembling a hopeless fish.

System + supreme physique = Ye Xiyun, a useless piece of trash.

What a perfect combination.

What's the point of me transmigrating here?

Am I just here to help Lingxi Town escape poverty and become the richest person there, then marry the twin sisters and live a happy life of making money during the day and having fun at night?

If that's the meaning of my life and pursuit, why the hell did you make me transmigrate to a damn immortal cultivation world? Couldn't you have sent me back to the 1980s? At least then, I could try to hitch a ride on the Ma family's fortune. And when I get old, I could say, "I'm not interested in money. My monthly goal is to earn a billion. Although I was recommended for university admission, I think Peking University is pretty good. Although you all say my wife is beautiful, I have face blindness, so I don't know which one you're referring to. They all look the same to me."

But in an immortal cultivation world, how can I act like that? Especially after seeing those fairy-like junior sisters when visiting the Immortal Sects, suddenly, the twin sisters from the Lingxi Town don't seem as enticing anymore.

But... reality is so cruel.

Ye Xiyun put the book back on the shelf, but his eyes narrowed. He reached into the gap between the bookshelf and the wall and pulled out another manual.

pItem: Death Seeking Manual

Grade: Saint-Grade Body Refining Technique (Incomplete)

Compatibility: 100%, can activate the Elementary Immortal Physique through cultivation if the Immortal Martial Body is not activated.]

As Ye Xiyun looked at this manual covered in dust and slightly worn out, his expression gradually shifted from stiffness to excitement, and his eyes revealed uncontrollable joy. Without even having the chance to read the content of the manual, he hurriedly ran out of the Scripture Pavilion.

Damn, 100% compatibility! So cultivating this thing should be a piece of cake for me!

Moreover, finding such a treasure in the entire Scripture Pavilion without any chance to exchange it, since that's the case, what's there to hesitate about? I need to go find a master!

Indeed, destiny is on my side! The opportunity for Ye Xiyun's rise has come!

As Ye Xiyun took out each book and put them back, finally grabbing a worn-out book and rushing out of the Scripture Pavilion, the faces of the disciples who were still choosing manuals changed, and they unconsciously hastened their selection process.
