After wandering around the mission hall for a while, Yun Xiao did not take on any missions.
He came to the mission hall this time just to get familiar with the general situation here. As for taking on missions, it is obviously too early at the moment.
It has been less than a day since he entered Leiyun College. He knows very little about various situations in Leiyun College. At any rate, he needs to stabilize first and thoroughly understand the ins and outs of Leiyun College.
In addition, the Kong family has to be guarded against. He knows those big families and powerful forces all too well. People from those big families always think they are superior. They always care about face. Once others don't give them face, they will try every means to get back at them.
He crushed the scapula and collarbone of that Kong Jingsheng. Such an injury probably requires several months of recuperation to recover and may even leave sequelae. This enmity will surely be avenged by the other party.
So, before he has absolute confidence in protecting himself, he still doesn't want to have contact with the Kong family. Even when going out to perform missions, he must be careful and make plans.
After leaving the mission hall, Yun Xiao did not return to his peak but followed the college's distribution map and headed towards the library of Leiyun College.
The missions in the mission hall require effort to reap rewards, but it's different in the library.
According to the college's rules, as long as one is an inner court disciple, they are eligible to consult all the martial arts on the first and second floors of the library. Now that he has obtained the identity jade plaque of an inner court disciple, he can freely learn the martial arts in it.
The low-level martial art of Golden Stone Fist is still too ordinary. With his innate advantage as a divine master, he can learn any martial art at a glance. Using such a talent to practice a first-order martial art is really a waste of talent.
The library of Leiyun College is located on a relatively low spiritual peak. This spiritual peak is surrounded by several tall spiritual peaks. There are many college experts living around. Once any unexpected situation occurs, these strong people living around will receive the signal immediately and appear in the library at the first time.
Unlike the mission hall, the library is a tower with a full five floors. The entire tower stands on the top of the spiritual peak, like a celestial palace, which is truly extraordinary.
Looking from a distance, the library doesn't seem to have as many people as the mission hall. It seems that there should not be many college disciples coming here to practice on weekdays.
Yun Xiao adjusted his clothes and soon arrived in front of the library, but was stopped by two veteran disciples guarding the door.
"Stop and show your identity plaque."
The two veteran disciples are both in their thirties. Yun Xiao did not release his spiritual power to sense, but judging from the temperament of these two people, they are probably both at the great accomplishment stage of the True Yuan Realm, just a bit older.
"Greetings, two senior brothers. I am Yun Xiao. I just joined Leiyun College today. This is my identity plaque."
Stopping, Yun Xiao respectfully saluted the two people and then took out his identity plaque and handed it to the two in front of him.
"Oh? A newcomer who joined today?" Seeing Yun Xiao's respect and courtesy, the two both raised their eyebrows. After taking a look at the identity plaque, they handed it back to Yun Xiao.
"You came to the library just after joining the college. It seems that you are quite motivated. Go in." The two did not make things difficult for Yun Xiao and let him pass directly.
"Thank you, two senior brothers."
Being let through so easily, Yun Xiao was also overjoyed. He bowed to the two again and then directly entered the library.
Frankly speaking, he really didn't expect it to be so smooth. Originally, he thought there would be many complicated procedures, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.
In fact, he actually doesn't know.
The library is indeed an important place in Leiyun College. The martial arts inside are all treasures of Leiyun College. But the truly advanced martial arts are all stored on the fourth and fifth floors of the library. And those two floors are guarded by top experts of Leiyun College. Ordinary people simply don't have the qualification to enter. As for the low-level martial arts on the first and second floors, Leiyun College doesn't attach so much importance to them.
Entering the library, Yun Xiao found that the space inside is very spacious. At a rough glance, it is probably at least about five hundred square meters.
There are many bookshelves placed in the entire first-floor hall, and various items are neatly placed on them. There are books, bamboo slips, and animal skin scrolls, etc. And these items are obviously all martial arts scriptures.
At this time, there are about a hundred people in the entire first-floor hall who are selecting martial arts scriptures. These people are all warriors at the seventh or eighth level of the True Qi Realm at a glance. But each one has an extraordinary aura and can be considered slightly inferior talents.
"So many martial arts scriptures. I didn't expect Leiyun College to have so many martial arts scriptures." Yun Xiao glanced at the bookshelves and found that there are extremely many martial arts scriptures here. There are probably at least three or four hundred kinds. Perhaps all the first-order martial arts of the Great Zhou Dynasty can be found here!
"I'd better go to the second floor. As for first-order martial arts, I have already practiced the Golden Stone Fist. Having more is of no use."
Licking his lips, Yun Xiao did not stay on the first floor of the library but went directly to the second floor.
As he walked up the stairs leading to the second floor, the outer court disciples on the first floor all cast envious glances. As for this, Yun Xiao didn't pay much attention. In a few steps, he arrived at the entrance to the second floor along the stairs.
When he arrived on the second floor, the first thing that caught his eye was not the martial arts scriptures but a wooden reclining chair and an old man in his sixties on the chair.
This old man was lying in the center of the second-floor library. The bookshelves on the second floor are all placed along the wall, so the central part is a large open space. It's hard not to notice this old man.
At this time, there are dozens of people scattered around looking through martial arts scriptures on the bookshelves at the corner. Some are sitting cross-legged in the corner and practicing directly. As for the old man on the reclining chair, he seems to have fallen asleep.
Just then, a young disciple who was originally sitting cross-legged and practicing in the corner suddenly stood up and frowned as he came to the old man.
"Elder Yan, this disciple..."
"There's no need to say. The Cangwu Fist you just selected is an extremely strange second-order martial art. Presumably, you are stuck at the place where true qi reverses and find it difficult to understand its true meaning."
Before the young disciple could finish speaking, the old man on the reclining chair spoke first without even opening his eyes.
"Put that Cangwu Fist back and try practicing the Violent Ape Fist. That martial art should be more suitable for your current cultivation."
"Thank you, Elder Yan for your guidance. This disciple has been taught!"
After hearing the old man's words, the young man's face lit up immediately. He bowed to the old man with deep respect in his eyes. Speaking of which, he had chosen the Cangwu Fist for cultivation before, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't understand what the reverse flow of true qi meant. So he wanted to ask this elder.
Unexpectedly, before he could even open his mouth, the other party already knew what he was going to ask! Speaking of which, from the time he came to this second-floor library until now, the old man had been lying there with his eyes closed and had never opened them. But even in this situation, the other party knew that he had chosen the Cangwu Fist and also knew where he was stuck. This kind of means is simply astonishing.
"Elder Yan is so powerful. Without even opening his eyes, he knows what Senior Brother Liu wants to ask!"
"That's right. Elder Yan is an old and powerful figure in our Leiyun College. Don't look at him with his eyes closed. Even if he just listens with his ears, he knows what each of us is doing."
"Tsk tsk. I'd say that Elder Yan's strength is secondary. The most important thing is that Elder Yan doesn't have a lofty and overbearing attitude and always guides everyone in cultivation. This is the most important thing."
"That's right. The other elders in the college never even look at us ordinary disciples properly. How can they be as approachable as Elder Yan?"
"Stop talking. Hurry up and concentrate on comprehending martial arts. If there's anything you don't understand, you can also ask Elder Yan for advice..."
In the corner, several young disciples listened to Elder Yan's guidance to that Liu surnamed man and all showed respect in their eyes. They subconsciously started talking. From their conversation, it's not difficult to hear that this old man on the reclining chair is definitely a powerful figure deeply loved by everyone in Leiyun College.
"This old man is actually an elder of Leiyun College?"
At the entrance, Yun Xiao hadn't had time to enter the hall yet. And everything that had just happened and the conversation of several people in the corner, he had seen and heard it all.
Looking at the old man on the reclining chair again, Yun Xiao couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.
He knows what the status of an elder in Leiyun College means. To become an elder of Leiyun College, first of all, one's cultivation must reach the Yuan Dan Realm. That is to say, this old man known as Elder Yan in front of him is actually a top expert in the Yuan Dan Realm!
Aside from the mysterious woman he saw on Eagle Sorrow Mountain, this Elder Yan in front of him is the first expert above the Yuan Dan Realm that he has seen. For this kind of top expert, he can't help but be a little curious.
"The one at the door. What are you doing standing there? Come in and speak."
Just then, Elder Yan's voice rang out again, making Yun Xiao tremble all over. Then he subconsciously looked around and found that there seemed to be no one else at the entrance except him.
"Could it be calling me?"
Seeing that there was no one else around, his eyebrows raised slightly, and naturally thought to himself.
"Yes, it's you. Don't just stand there. Come over and speak."
As if he had heard his thoughts, Elder Yan's voice came again, confirming his guess.
"It really is calling me."
His eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous. However, he still adjusted his clothes and walked towards the other party.
