Talisman Emperor
Chapter 53 – Team Gathering
The Book Reserve Hall
Contrary to the layout of the Treasure Hall, there were no rooms, and by the time one entered the hall, it was a huge space covering an area of 3,000 meters.
Line after row of 30m high bookshelves can be found everywhere. They stood in layers to occupy every space in the entire hall. If one looked down from a high vantage point, one would be able to see that this row of bookshelves formed an octagonal shape, and was like a regular layer of blooming flower buds.
Walking in it was like walking into a winding labyrinth. Everywhere one's gaze was passed, filled a bookshelf full of piles of jade slips, and one could not discern directions.
At this moment, Chen Xi stopped in front of the bookshelf, as she walked along the hall and wandered around the bookshelf.
"Craft Talisman, mastermind, taming, botany, heavenly abilities, techniques .. This Book Reserve Hall actually covers and contains everything!" Chen Xi could not help but exclaim in shock.
Nearby, Ji Yu placed the jade slip in her hand and shook her head. “A large number does not mean it is rare and valuable. According to what I saw, most of the jade slips were all ordinary. ”
Chen Xi did not refute, as he knew that Ji Yu was very picky, and Ji Yu who was holding this jade slip in disdain was reasonable. Moreover, this jade slip was extremely precious to Chen Xi.
He was poor from a young age. When he went to the Beautiful Pavilion of Pine Mist City to purchase the martial techniques he needed, he was completely ridiculed by the female attendant. If not for the Little Princess of the General's Plantation, Qin Hongmian, stepping forward, she could only swallow the humiliation and humiliation secretly, then leave dejectedly.
Thus, at this moment, he had already decided inwardly that even if he did not cultivate it, he would still take out a jade slip that was practically as vast as an ocean. Exchanging them for spirit stones would still be a huge amount of wealth!
However, right at this moment, a wave of footsteps suddenly sounded from outside the hall.
Someone has come so fast!
Chen Xi was shocked inwardly. At this moment, it was already impossible for him to plunder all of these jade, but he was extremely reluctant to lose the chance to obtain so many jade.
What am I supposed to do?
I returned empty-handed from the Treasure Hall, could it be that I will meet the same fate in the Book Reserve Hall now?
“I have helped you choose sword techniques, heavenly abilities, and movement techniques. What else do you not have? ”As he spoke, Ji Yu stretched out her hand and gradually swept into the air, and numerous jade slips flew towards him as if they were growing wings.
Chen Xi was stunned, then asked. "Can we take everything?"
Ji Yu's face sank and she stopped what she was doing.
Chen Xi cursed inwardly. He had been with Ji Yu for a long time and understood Ji Yu's character very well. Ji Yu could devote himself to guiding Chen Xi's cultivation, but if Chen Xi asked him to do something he was unwilling to do, then it was simply impossible.
According to what Ji Yu said, only when Chen Xi had gone through all the trials in the Heavenpeak of Trials to become the personal disciple of the Master of the Manner could Chen Xi order him around.
At this moment, when he saw Ji Yu was displeased, Chen Xi immediately apologized. "Senior Ji Yu, I'm sorry, that junior is too greedy. If I can choose, then I hope to get some jade slip craft talismans. ”
Chen Xi knew that as long as she talked about matters related to the talisman craft, Ji Yu would definitely be very happy. Because his Master, Senior Fuxi, had precisely observed the River Diagram to deduce the deep meaning behind the secret cycles of heaven to gain a sudden understanding of the Grand Dao and ascend to the peak of the Dao.
Though it was precisely because he himself had an understanding within the Dao of Talismans that he could walk out of the Star Secret Realm and gain Ji Yu's recognition.
As expected, Ji Yu's expression instantly diminished significantly when he heard that Chen Xi was still constantly thinking about the Dao of Amulets. Ji Yu gave a cold snort before extending his hand to sweep through the air, and the 10 plus jade slips once again shot towards him.
The 13 jade slip talismans, coupled with the jade slips related to sword techniques, movement techniques, and heavenly abilities, I already have 20 jade slips. Even though it was only a speck in the vast ocean that was the Book Reserve Hall, the jade slip that Senior Ji Yu could choose from should be the gem in this sea.
Chen Xi casually stored the jade slip inside her storage ring, then followed behind Ji Yu to escape her way in.
The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, and it was faintly mixed with the rumbling sounds of people. All of the cultivators who could enter the hall were in the Violet Palace Realm and had formed groups before coming; the huge gap in their strength and numbers caused Chen Xi not to dare to stay any longer. Moreover, for the sake of preventing his footsteps from being noticed, he did not even touch the many jade slips on the nearby bookshelf because he was afraid that others would notice something from the traces left behind.
Unlike the others entering the hall through the main door, Chen Xi had entered through the small hidden passageway of the Main Hall. If one did not search carefully, it would be very difficult to see this passageway, so, he had not met a single cultivator all the way home.
"Ha ha ha! The Book Reserve Hall! The timeless Book Reserve Hall, Nether Enlightenment, was left behind! ”A raucous and hoarse laughter suddenly resounded in the hall. “The jade stone that slipped on this row of bookshelves was probably at least several tens of thousands and had been covered in dust for 10,000 years. Now it'll even benefit us. It's truly an incredible fortune. ”
This guy really didn't disguise his excitement, huh? Chen Xi stood in front of the hidden door far away and could not help but shake her head when she heard this voice, and he was just about to step into the hidden door and leave when he suddenly heard a familiar voice sounding out, causing him to stop dead in his tracks.
"The fellow Daoists of the Phoenixcloud Sect, aren't you getting excited too quickly?" The voice was warm and warm, but when it entered Chen Xi's ears, it instead caused killing intent to surge in his heart.
Letian Chai!
When he remembered being stabbed in the back by this person in the Crimsonflame Mountain Range that caused him to fall into a deep abyss, the hatred in Chen Xi's heart surged uncontrollably, causing him to fall into a deep abyss, and his expression became extremely ice-cold.
"Senior Ji Yu, I've decided to stay back. '' Chen Xi took a deep breath and sent a voice transmission with a deep voice.
Ji Yu glanced at Chen Xi and said indifferently, “Dragon your own enemy. I won't help you even if you get killed by him. ”
Chen Xi nodded, only by killing his enemy with his own two hands could he vent the turbulent hatred in his heart.
Whooshing sound!
Chen Xi glanced around, then her body warped as the tip of her foot lightly tapped on the floor and she nimbly dashed over the stone blocks in a corner like a silent leopard cat. This stone beam was three meters wide and arranged in a cross pattern with dozens of stone blocks, like a huge net stretching over the entire hall, and he did not have to worry about being found while hiding here.
Moreover, he could see the scenery within the entire hall from this position. According to Chen Xi's conjecture, those Phoenixcloud Sect cultivators would definitely start a battle with Chai Letian's group in order to compete for the jade inside the hall. This way, he would actually be able to hide here and choose the best opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Chai Letian!
Violet Palace Realm cultivators already had the Power of Perception, moreover, their six senses were acute and extremely sensitive to their surroundings. Chen Xi did not dare to use the Power of Perception. He held the aura all over his body then lay flat on top of the stone block, like a wisp of black shadow. At the same time, his eyes narrowed as he carefully stared at the hall below.
At this moment, two groups of cultivators had already gathered in the hall.
One group was a group of cultivators led by Chai Letian, with Chen Xi's acquaintances like Du Qingxi, Duanmu Ze, Song Lin …
Whereas, on the opposite side there were some foreign cultivators who wore varied clothes and of different ages. The four people leading were very striking, a thin old man, a determined middle-aged man, a young man and a young woman. The four of them were wearing purple-purple robes similar to the beautiful pattern of phoenix flames dancing in the air while being surrounded by clouds. They shocked the Phoenixcloud Sect cultivators that Chen Xi had seen in Bloodbath City.
Right now, the two groups had already taken their Magic Treasures and weapons and were confronting in the space in the middle of the bookshelf, ready to fight.
The skinny old man from Phoenixcloud Sect said coldly, “Hmph! Even though all of you are disciples that come from various great powers in Dragon Lake City and have extraordinary statuses, but I'm sorry, for the sake of the jade slipping here, I'm sorry, asking us to leave was absolutely impossible. Not only would I, Fu Heng, disagree, my fellow Taoists behind me would disagree as well! ”
"True, we will not agree at all. ”
“Why do we go alone? It can't be!"
All the other cultivators behind the skinny old man echoed his gaze, yet their expressions were not relaxed. Clearly, Chai Letian's group brought quite a lot of pressure to them.
"Why torture yourself? If you offend us, will your little sect be able to live happily after this? "Chai Letian said unhurriedly," Could it be that all of you are not worried that the sect you all represent will be pulled from the roots and completely annihilated? "
"I advise you all to leave quickly. Brother Chai's ancestor was one of the great Nether Realm Transformation cultivators in the southern region. Dealing with all of you is just a matter of giving orders. Yu Haobai from Myriadcloud Institution shook his head and sighed. She looked graceful and refined, yet her tone was filled with the intention to curry favor with Chai Letian.
Fu Heng's skinny expression flickered between a pale and gloomy expression, and he struggled hard in his heart. While behind him, the expressions of the cultivators from the various cities in the southern region had mostly become extremely grim.
The deterrent strength of a Nether Transformation Realm cultivator was extremely great?
Chen Xi could not help but become anxious when she saw Fu Heng and the desire of others to fight faded. If Fu Heng's group escaped before the battle, then his plan to sneak attack Chen Letian would be futile.
"Hmph! According to my knowledge, the cultivator of the Nether Transformation Realm, Senior Chai Shao, is not an unreasonable person. Not to mention that the abode of this immortal sword was abandoned and the jade slip here belonged to whoever obtained it. Aren't you going too far by asking us to leave with just one word? ”
Fu Heng gritted his teeth. “In my opinion, why don't we do it like this? If Fellow Daoist Chai agrees, then my group will take 40% of the jade slips here, and the remaining 60% belong to your group, how?
"It's absolutely impossible!" Chai Letian instantly refused and sneered coldly. “Ingin taking goods from me? You are not worthy! I'll give you ten more breaths of time, hurry up and leave this hall. Otherwise, don't blame us for being merciless! "
"You ..." Fu Heng's eyes opened wide in annoyance, and he was really angry to the point that he was unable to speak.
"Hmph! You dare come here and try to take something from me with this level of courage? Hurry up! Five breaths of time have passed. "Chai Letian shook her head in disdain.
These people have intention but not courage!
Chen Xi could not help but be speechless as she stared at Fu Heng's group who did not dare to do anything and quietly swallowed the humiliation and humiliation.
"Hmph! I was wondering who that person was, so it turned out to be Fellow Daoist Chai from Starnet Palace! ”At that time the soft voice of a woman slowly echoed in the hall.
Chen Xi stared and could not help but say inwardly, Damn it! Su Jiao's group had actually come here as well!
