Spirit Ruin, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Chapter 25 Betting with Ye Feng

As Li Guanqi entered the Scripture Repository, he had an odd feeling. Why would such a powerful elder sit so openly at the entrance of the repository? On the other hand, he thought about the person sweeping the floor, whom he believed to be accomplished, that turned out to just be an ordinary person.

The interior of the repository was incredibly spacious, and the air was extremely dry, suggesting measures were taken to prevent moisture from affecting the manuals. The first floor was vast, with densely arranged bookshelves, each labeled as containing manuals for martial arts.

At this moment, only a dozen or so disciples were picking books from the first floor. As he ascended to the second floor, he noticed a significant drop in the number of books available. There were only a few scattered bookshelves, and among the people browsing was the senior brother who had spoken to him earlier.

Seeing Li Guanqi, the senior brother waved and said, Junior brother, there are some excellent Lightning-element martial arts over here. And theres even some high-quality Yellow-grade techniques that are suitable for you.

Li Guanqi gestured upstairs awkwardly and said, Thank you, senior brother, but I want to go to the third floor.

The senior brothers hand froze in mid-air. It had taken him over a year to accumulate fifteen hundred merit points to reach the second floor. However, the requirement for the third floor was a minimum of three thousand merit points!

Perhaps sensing his confusion, Li Guanqi hurriedly explained, Senior brother, you misunderstood. I dont have that many merit points.

Hearing this, a smile finally appeared on the youths face, and he said, Thats what I thought.

Junior brother has just joined the sect; how could he have enough merit points to directly access the third floor? He thought.

On the first floor, there are some martial arts that cost three to five hundred points, which is quite a fair price. On the second floor, the minimum is one thousand points. You can go to the southeast corner downstairs to have a look.

Li Guanqi didnt want to hurt the senior brothers feelings, so he bowed and said, Thank you for your advice.

Others on the second floor had overheard their conversation. Upon hearing the youths words, several turned their heads to look at the Heavenly Wood Peak disciple.

One large man among them was now teary-eyed, biting his lip and looking at the figure going upstairs with resentment.

As soon as Li Guanqi reached the third floor, he was completely astonished. The entire third floor had no bookshelves. It was empty, with countless spiritual lights fluttering in the air.

And on the entire third floor, there was only one person.

A slender young man with a handsome face, complimenting his golden hair. This person was one of the fellow disciples who had entered the sect at the same time as him!

The young man had sharp brows and eyes, well-defined features, and a conspicuous mole on the bridge of his nose, giving him a somewhat striking appearance. This made his overall aura feel peculiar.

A hint of surprise flashed in the young mans eyes, clearly not expecting that someone else would come to the third floor at this moment.

The other person warmly approached Li Guanqi and introduced himself, Hello, Im Ye Feng from Heavenly Metal Peak.

Li Guanqi looked at the handsome young man and couldnt help but touch his nose.

This guy so flashy he must be quite popular among the female disciples at Heavenly Water Peak.

While thinking this, Li Guanqi smiled and said, Heavenly Thunder Peak, Li Guanqi.

Ye Feng nodded and said, Ive heard about you, the disciple with a Saint-Grade Spirit Root. Im quite envious.

Even as someone who has awakened a King-Grade Spirit Root, I havent caused as much of a stir a you have.

Li Guanqi kept a friendly face on the surface but sneered in his heart.

This guy seems to be the type who loves to show off. During the Spirit Root assessment, he was lagging behind me. I doubt anyone thought he was that amazing.

Ye Feng suddenly pointed to the scattered spiritual lights darting around in the sky, asking, Want to make a bet and see who can obtain the highest grade techniques?

Although Li Guanqi didnt understand where this sudden competitive spirit came from, he answered, Sure, why not? Its been a slow day, and I have nothing better to do.

Upon hearing this, Ye Fengs eyes brightened. He waved his hand and took out over a hundred pieces of lower-grade spirit stones.

Then he looked at Li Guanqi.

Compared to you, my talent is inferior. Even so, Ive already sensed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and should be able to condense it into my body tonight.

Li Guanqis eyes shifted, thinking,Why does this guy seem to want to compete with me at every turn?

Besides, doesnt he know that I already broke through to the first level of Qi Refinement when I was at Heavenly Water Peak?

Li Guanqi didnt accommodate him. He also took out about a hundred lower-grade spirit stones from his bag of holding.

He said in a regretful tone, Sigh, I cant do it. I still havent been able to sense any spiritual energy.

Then lets use these hundred lower-grade spirit stones as the bet. Ye Feng suggested. A hint of cunning flashed in his eyes as he pretended to be distressed and said, Oh, but that would mean Id be taking advantage of you!

Heres the deal. If I win, Ill only take half of those spirit stones of yours.

If I lose, all these hundred spirit stones are yours.

Li Guanqi, upon hearing this, pretended to be embarrassed. How can that be? We agreed to a fair bet

No worries! Lets do it as I said!

Ye Feng waved his hand decisively, letting off a domineering attitude.

Little did he know that this display completely painted him as a big fool in Li Guanqis eyes.

And grabbing the spiritual lights in the sky was quite simple.

When one stepped into the boundary, they would have the time of an incense stick to catch these spiritual lights.

The ratings of the techniques ranged from lower-grade mysterious level to top-grade mysterious level.

Moreover, if not for this opportunity to come here and choose for free, they would need to do sect missions for at least a year or more for a chance to grab one of these techniques.

Ye Feng extended a hand with confidence and said, Shall I go first?

Li Guanqi hesitated, You can go first. Im afraid I wont be able to catch any of them.

In Ye Fengs eyes, Li Guanqi lacked confidence in his own abilities. With feigned sympathy, he explained, Alright, Ill go first. This thing is quite simple, mainly about speed.

Having said that, Ye Feng leaped from the high platform and landed firmly on the stage. Li Guanqi smacked his lips, feeling that the other partys cultivation was quite solid. No wonder he was so confident. It seemed to stem from belief in his own strength.

In the hall, dozens of various colored spiritual lights were quickly flying in the air. The golden-haired Ye Feng kicked against the surrounding walls, and his figure darted towards these spiritual lights like the wind. However, as he approached the lights, they would suddenly dodge, accelerating out of his reach.

Li Guanqi was a bit curious. Didnt this guy know what happened at Heavenly Water Peak that day?

Wait a minute In the hall that day, it was all the disciples present, except for some who arrived late

Could it be this brother was late on the first day and didnt even enter?

The reason Ye Feng didnt know what Li Guanqi had done was exactly as he guessed. However, what he didnt know was that Ye Feng wasnt simply late that day, he had slept in his bed throughout the entire lesson!

Even the Qi Refinement manual had to be brought back by his fellow disciples!
