64 -64 Exotic Treasure Pavilion

“Elder Ling, despite being just a Guest Elder of the Academy, is extremely mysterious, and he is also an Alchemist,” Jun Muqing furrowed her brows, “So this Liang Yuqiu must be his disciple…”

“It is unexpected that this Zhang Hao has also been taken as his disciple,” Jun Muqing said, her knowledge regarding Elder Ling was quite scarce.

She had only occasionally heard her master mention that Elder Ling’s cultivation was not only mysterious but he was also an Alchemist.

Though just a Guest Elder of the Academy, in terms of experience, even Jun Muqing’s master could not compare with him.

Because before Jun Muqing’s master had taken the position of Dean of the Academy, Elder Ling had already been a Guest Elder.

“Right…”

Next to Jun Muqing, a man seemed to remember something, “I heard that among the Outer Court, this year’s newcomers have established their own faction, called Mo Pavilion…”

Before the man could finish, Jun Muqing nodded her head, seeming not too interested in the matter.

Seeing her reaction, the man gave a wry smile and said no more.

…

Currently, in a square of Yun Chu Academy, although it was already night, there were still many disciples moving around.

This square was the busiest place in the Academy on normal days and was also where the Artifact Refining Tower was located.

Located between the Inner Court and the Outer Court, apart from the Outer Court disciples, those from the Inner Court also came here to cultivate, but comparatively, the number of Inner Court disciples was fewer, especially at night, so only one or two could be seen.

Mo Wangchen stood in the middle of the square, not attracting much attention.

He gazed at the Artifact Refining Tower glowing faintly in the darkness, slightly surprised, “It seems this so-called Artifact Refining Tower is actually a Magical Treasure for cultivation, a rarity even in my past life.

Given that Yun Chu Academy is affiliated with the Yun Country Royal Family, it’s likely the Artifact Refining Tower is provided by the Royal Family…”

Having said that, he then withdrew his gaze and walked towards another direction of the square, where a two-story building stood, the Exotic Treasure Pavilion!

Every month, all Academy disciples could collect Xuan Stones distributed by the Academy here, and since Mo Wangchen had joined today, according to the rules, he too was entitled to collect this month’s Xuan Stones.

Beyond distributing Xuan Stones, the Exotic Treasure Pavilion also had another name, Martial Technique Pavilion!

The pavilion was divided into two floors. freēwēbnovel.com

On the first floor, basic Yellow Rank Martial Techniques were mostly placed, and of course, there were a few intermediate Yellow Rank books, meant for the Outer Court disciples.

However, it wasn’t simply a matter of wanting to study them; one had to spend a certain amount of Xuan Stones to exchange for them and after obtaining the Martial Technique, it had to be returned within a month.

Merely to borrow a basic Yellow Rank Martial Technique required the spending of thirty Xuan Stones, an amount equivalent to what the disciples could collect from the Academy over three months.

Furthermore, since Xuan Stones were also needed for cultivation in the Artifact Refining Tower, truly speaking, to borrow a basic Yellow Rank Martial Technique, many disciples had to save nearly half a year’s worth of Xuan Stones.

After all, some disciples came from smaller families with no Martial Techniques at all, making even the basic Yellow Rank Martial Techniques quite tempting to them.

As for the intermediate Yellow Rank Martial Techniques, the cost of borrowing in Xuan Stones was even higher, over one hundred, nearly equivalent to what an Outer Court Disciple could accumulate in a year.

On the second floor of the Exotic Treasure Pavilion, many martial techniques were likewise displayed.

The only difference was that the lowest rank among these techniques was intermediate Yellow Rank, and there even existed high-level Yellow Rank techniques.

Within Fangtian City, even the Mo Family, being the largest family, regarded high-level Yellow Rank martial techniques as top-tier.

Thus, it was imaginable how many envied the high-level Yellow Rank techniques on the second floor.

Only the Inner Court Disciples were qualified to enter the second floor, and if they wished to borrow any martial techniques, they would need to spend more Xuan Stones!

However, the Exotic Treasure Pavilion had a rule: if you wanted to borrow a martial technique but didn’t have enough Xuan Stones, you could exchange your own martial techniques for Xuan Stones to borrow those from the Exotic Treasure Pavilion.

This rule was quite useful, as at least a small portion of disciples did exactly that.

…

The elder in charge of the Exotic Treasure Pavilion was named Xie Yue.

Most disciples called him Elder Xie, as Mo Wangchen had already inquired before arriving.

When he entered the Exotic Treasure Pavilion, there were many shelves, which all held Yellow Rank martial techniques.

At this moment, inside the entrance of the Exotic Treasure Pavilion, in front of a desk, Elder Xie was sitting with his eyes closed.

Sensing Mo Wangchen’s arrival, he slightly raised his eyes but didn’t speak.

Mo Wangchen could see that, presently, there were only a few scattered individuals in the Exotic Treasure Pavilion.

He quickly faced Elder Xie and said with a bow, “Disciple Mo Wangchen, I have just joined the Academy today and have come to collect my Xuan Stones.”

“Give me your identity token,” Elder Xie nodded slightly, speaking indifferently.

Mo Wangchen took out his disciple identity token.

After Elder Xie confirmed there was nothing unusual, he took out ten Xuan Stones and handed them to Mo Wangchen.

“Seeing that you are only at the third level of the Vein Condensation Realm, you must not be from a major family.

These Xuan Stones can be used to cultivate in the Artifact Refining Tower, and they are also exchangeable for martial techniques in the Exotic Treasure Pavilion.

Basic-level Yellow Rank techniques cost thirty Xuan Stones.” After handing the Xuan Stones to Mo Wangchen, Elder Xie looked him over again.

In his view, given Mo Wangchen’s cultivation level, he probably came from a smaller family.

Such individuals typically hadn’t practiced any martial techniques, so he kindly offered a piece of advice.

Uh!

Hearing Elder Xie’s words, Mo Wangchen was slightly startled and then understood the elder’s meaning.

He bowed slightly and said with a smile, “Thank you, Elder, for the information.

I currently do not need martial techniques but am quite in need of Xuan Stones.

I heard that in the Exotic Treasure Pavilion, one can exchange martial techniques for Xuan Stones?”

Mo Wangchen knew that the Yun Chu Academy was able to become the cradle of Yun Country’s geniuses, largely because it had the Artifact Refining Tower.

To enter the Artifact Refining Tower for cultivation, one needed to spend a Xuan Stone each time.

In reality, the ten Xuan Stones distributed to the disciples by the academy could only sustain a few days at most.

Thus, Mo Wangchen thought of exchanging martial techniques for Xuan Stones to enter the Artifact Refining Tower for cultivation.

“Oh?”

Hearing Mo Wangchen’s words, Elder Xie showed a slight surprise on his face and scrutinized him again, “Are you thinking of exchanging martial techniques for Xuan Stones with me?”

He had initially thought that Mo Wangchen was a disciple from a small family who hadn’t practiced any martial techniques.

However, it seemed he wasn’t the type who had never seen martial techniques, but rather someone who wanted to exchange his techniques for Xuan Stones.
