“Brother Hu.”

The keeper of this library was an old monk, Yuan Chiyi greeted him.

“New disciples can choose a Qi Refining method and a spell from the bookshelves.”

Brother Hu nodded in response to Yuan Chiyi, then, holding a book, he reiterated the rules to Chen Mobai and the other six, then waved his hand, indicating them to go ahead.

“After you’ve made your selection, come over here to register.”

Yuan Chiyi added, Zhuo Ming and the others nodded, then they couldn’t wait any longer, excitedly heading towards the neatly stacked books on the shelves.

Chen Mobai and Liu Wenbo, however, were not in a hurry, the latter even bowed to Brother Hu.

After the other six left, Chen Mobai approached the two brothers.

“I wonder if I can choose the ‘Dual Phase Technique’?”

Chen Mobai had a clear goal, the main reason for joining the Shenmu Sect was to get the Foundation Establishment Pill and the Dual Phase Technique.

“Are you sure you want to choose the Dual Phase Technique? We generally do not recommend this technique for ordinary disciples of the sect. Although it can increase the chance of forming a golden core, it requires double the resources and time beforehand.”

Brother Hu frowned and advised after hearing this.

“Ever since I heard Brother Qi Rui talk about the Dual Phase Technique on Qingguang Island, I’ve been fascinated and hope to fulfill my wish today.”

After Chen Mobai finished speaking, Brother Hu looked troubled and turned to look at Yuan Chiyi.

This batch of new disciples was under his guidance, making him somewhat of a teacher.

Brother Hu wanted him to persuade Chen Mobai.

“After becoming a true disciple, you can get the Dual Phase Technique for free. If you choose this technique now, in addition to making a Dao Heart oath, you also need to submit a voluntary letter, so you won’t regret delaying your Qi Refining progress in the future.”

After Yuan Chiyi finished speaking, Brother Hu once again spoke, telling Chen Mobai about the drawbacks of practicing the Dual Phase Technique.

“I used to think that I was a genius, capable of practicing both techniques, even hoping to form a golden core.”

“But the thirty years after joining the sect made me realize that it’s better to face reality unless you are extraordinarily talented or have a deep family background.”

“I’m now at the ninth level of Qi Refining, but because I practiced both water and wood Qi Refining techniques with the Dual Phase Technique, I missed the best age for Foundation Establishment and can only sit in this book cave.”

After these words, Yuan Chiyi’s face looked a bit unnatural.

He also practiced the Dual Phase Technique, also practiced water and wood Qi Refining, and also lacked resources.

But he was flexible, not hesitating to snatch various tasks with his true disciple status, even doing tedious tasks like teaching new disciples the rules, which made him better off than Brother Hu.

His water attribute technique had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, but his Longevity Sutra was still stuck at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and it would take several years of hard cultivation to balance the two phases and attempt Foundation Establishment.

However, Yuan Chiyi already had the Foundation Establishment Pill in his hand, and he still had nearly twenty years before the age limit of sixty, so he was definitely not going to follow in Brother Hu’s footsteps.

Chen Mobai insisted on his idea, and under the guidance of Yuan Chiyi, he wrote a voluntary letter, then followed Brother Hu to a locked bookcase.

After opening it, it was filled with a hundred copies of the transcribed “Dual Phase Technique”.

Brother Hu casually pulled out a copy and handed it to Chen Mobai.

“Brother, this is hand-copied, won’t there be any mistakes or omissions?”

Chen Mobai flipped through it and asked this question with a worried look, which earned him a roll of Brother Hu’s eyes.

“This is printed directly with a spell, it just looks like it’s copied because the original was hand-written.”

“The original was written by our sect’s ancestor Fu, and it even has his insights.”

“You disciples are so lucky. Back when I was in the Five Elements Sect, the insights of the golden core ancestors had to be exchanged with sect contribution points. Unlike now, they are directly printed on the technique and given to you.”

Chen Mobai listened with a grateful face.

Having the notes of predecessors as a reference would definitely make it easier to comprehend and practice, he had a deep understanding of this from his auxiliary cultivation software.

“You can also choose a spell.”

After the two returned, Yuan Chiyi reminded.

In the Tianhe Realm, techniques and spells are separate.

That’s why when Chen Mobai saw He Qun selling the Black Water Technique in Nanxi Market, he also sold the Water Control Technique and Water Elemental Shield separately, not because the latter was greedy, but because this was the rule in the Tianhe Realm.

“Does Brother Yuan have any recommendations?”

Chen Mobai didn’t know what famous spells the Shenmu Sect had.

He had the Immortal Gate spell library as a backup, so his demand for spells in the Tianhe Realm was not that strong. He didn’t inquire in advance, so he simply asked Yuan Chiyi shamelessly.

“Practicing the Dual Phase Technique requires a lot of resources, and our Shenmu Sect is known for its vast medicinal fields. You can practice a Spirit Needle Technique or Rainfall Technique, so after you finish chopping wood, if you apply to go to the medicinal fields, many elders will be willing to take you in.”

If Chen Mobai hadn’t asked, Yuan Chiyi wouldn’t have bothered to say anything, but since he asked for advice, as someone he had high hopes for, he gave some guidance.Since the “Rainfall Technique” was most powerful when activated with water attribute spiritual power, Chen Mobai eventually chose the “Spiritual Needle Technique” which could be cultivated with all five elemental spiritual powers.

Thus, among the seven people, Chen Mobai was the first to choose his own cultivation method and spells.

“By the way, Senior Brother Yuan, I once met a disciple from the Flying Probe Sect. I wonder which is more powerful, this Spiritual Needle Technique or the Flying Probe?”

Seeing that standing around was boring, he simply started chatting with Yuan Chiyi.

“Flying Probe Sect? It seems to be a vassal sect under the Golden Light Cliff.”

Saying this, Yuan Chiyi took out a thick book from his storage bag, flipped through a few pages, and found information about a person named Red Needle Daoist.

“Found it. This Flying Probe Sect used to be somewhat famous, but after the last Foundation Establishment cultivator passed away sixty years ago, it might be on the verge of disappearing now.”

Chen Mobai saw Yuan Chiyi put the thick book back into his storage bag after checking the information, and remembered the one he picked up on Qingguang Island, which he still hadn’t opened yet.

“Senior Brother Yuan, can I purchase this storage bag within the sect?”

“Of course, you can buy anything from the sect at the Lingbao Pavilion. The smallest one cubic meter storage bag costs a hundred spirit stones. Do you want one? I happen to have an extra one.”

“Where did this extra one come from, Senior Brother?”

“Heh, it’s just that a group of short-sighted rogue cultivators tried to rob me, but they were killed by me instead, leaving behind that storage bag. After refining the previous owner’s imprint with my divine sense, I gained over two hundred spirit stones. This thing is useless if I have too many, if you really want it, I can sell it to you for eighty spirit stones at a loss.”

Hearing Yuan Chiyi’s words, Chen Mobai immediately waved his hand. He couldn’t afford it.

However, the phrase ‘refining with divine sense’ was etched in his mind.
