Chapter Twenty-Five: Tianhai Pavilion
Tianhai Pavilion, located in the center of the academy, is the tallest building in the inner courtyard.
Around the Tianhai Pavilion, there were all kinds of guards, either openly or secretly, which could be called extremely strict, and at the same time, a glossy spirit pattern enchantment was also shrouded here like a cover.
Tianhai Pavilion is divided into five layers, and the disciples of the outer courtyard are not qualified to come here at all, and even the disciples of the inner courtyard can only enter the first three floors of the pavilion with the help of jade slips.
As for the fourth and fifth layers, they do not fall into this range.
Most of the disciples in the inner courtyard understood that the top treasures of Tianhai Academy were stored there, and if they wanted to obtain those treasures and items, they needed to make great contributions to the academy.
Nie Xuan and Su Yanluo naturally couldn't enter the top two floors on this trip, but being able to enter the first three floors of Tianhai Pavilion was already very satisfying! The things in the first three layers were also suitable for his current cultivation.
In the spacious Tianhai Pavilion, Nie Xuan and the others passed through the layers of guards, and they came to an attic with carved railings and jade, and then their eyes swept around, and they suddenly saw some inner disciples walking back and forth. Some of them were flipping through various classics, learning exercises, combat techniques, etc., and some were exchanging them for magic weapons and medicinal materials.
It was quite peaceful.
There were quite a few disciples in the Tianhai Pavilion, but even so, the pavilion still maintained a quiet atmosphere, so when Nie Xuan and the others entered, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.
There are not many people who know Nie Xuan here, but they are well-known to the cold girl beside him. Obviously, Su Yanluo, as the flower of genius in the inner courtyard, was extremely popular among them.
At this time, when they saw the goddess's jade hand, they were actually being held by a person of unknown origin, and immediately countless eyes full of envy and jealousy focused on Nie Xuan.
It looked like it was going to tear it apart.
"Yanluo, it seems that your status in the inner courtyard is not ordinary. It's so popular. Looking at the many resentful and hostile young men in front of him, Nie Xuan suddenly felt a chill down his spine, his palm couldn't help but loosen slightly, he gently exhaled a long breath, and laughed quietly.
Feeling the loosening of his palm, Su Yanluo grabbed it with her backhand, looked at him and smiled: "What, are you afraid?"
"Cultivating the truth is to go against the sky, what is there to fear?" Hearing the girl's words, Nie Xuan smiled slightly, and then entered the pavilion with him, puffed up his chest and looked at the surrounding disciples, and stepped on the second floor.
After they left, in the first floor of Tianhai Pavilion, the originally peaceful and quiet atmosphere was quietly broken, and a fierce uproar suddenly broke out, and discussions were everywhere.
"Who is that person next to Senior Sister Su, who is so close to her?"
"You don't know this, he is the kid who defeated Tang Yu in the outer courtyard competition a while ago and won the first place. ”
"It turned out to be Nie Xuan? What kind of virtue can he have, how can he be so favored by Senior Sister Su? He actually let that guy hold hands happily, alas, I fell out of love. ”
"Nie Xuan is the young master of the Red Cloud Domain, whether it is identity or strength, he is always stronger than you kid...... And I heard that not only Senior Sister Su, but even Ye Qian'er has a close relationship with her. ”
"Woo, I'm out of love again. ”
“......”
On the steps on the second floor, Nie Xuan couldn't help blinking when he listened to the discussion coming from downstairs, and then looked at the girl in white beside him, and sighed again in his heart.
"Nie Xuan, during the competition in the outer courtyard, I saw that you practiced the most basic guidance technique, and now that you have come to the inner courtyard, it is time to choose a technique, right?"
On the Guran Continent, after a cultivator reaches the seventh layer of Qi Condensation, the aura in his body is more solid, and he can start to select and practice exercises, and with the help of exercises, aura cultivation will be more rapid.
"I've broken through too fast recently, and I haven't had time to practice the exercises, so when I return to Chiyun Ling, I'll discuss with Aunt Jing about choosing. Nie Xuan smiled.
"If the exercises don't suit your heart, you can find me at any time, and I can help you ......" After a slight hesitation, Su Yanluo stared at him with beautiful eyes and smiled playfully.
Nie Xuan nodded slightly.
He didn't refuse, with the relationship between them, naturally there was no need to be too polite.
Behind Su Yanluo is the Vermilion Bird Chamber of Commerce, which is the first chamber of commerce in the southeast land, which can be called a behemoth-like existence, and such forces, even the Tianhai Academy, which has the strongest heritage, must be in awe. A top-level exercise, although it is very expensive, is more than enough for Su Yanluo.
While the two were talking, they had already walked to the second floor of Tianhai Pavilion, where there were many spirit patterns and formation books, and Nie Xuan's eyes swept around.
The disciples on the second floor were obviously much less than those on the first floor, and when they saw Nie Xuan and Su Yanluo coming together, their eyes were a little surprised, and they discussed in a low voice, and then lowered their heads to read again.
Seeing that the crowd around him was not as good as downstairs, Nie Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked to the east corner of the second floor, watching carefully.
This is where the Spirit Pattern Classics are.
In front of Nie Xuan, there are several wide wooden shelves, on which there are many simple classics, neatly placed, and the word "Spirit Pattern" is clearly engraved next to it.
Nie Xuan walked over, stretched out his hand to look through those spirit pattern books, pondered quietly, put them down from time to time, and then shook his head and found another book.
But after glancing at it, he shook his head and put it down.
Selecting the spirit pattern like this, Nie Xuan went on for a long time, and finally-
"Nie Xuan, you want to choose a spirit pattern, right? Although this one is good, if you want a really powerful spirit pattern, you don't want it here. Su Yanluo couldn't help but say.
"Do you know where it is?" Nie Xuan said in surprise.
Su Yanluo smiled slightly, nodded and said smugly: "I've been here several times, of course I know." Come with me. ”
The girl's jade hand moved, and then walked to the side of the wooden frame, the white palm of the wooden frame lightly covered, a faint aura surging in, just a moment, I saw a burst of distortion and fluctuations in the air next to the wooden frame, and suddenly several cyan stone caves appeared, and there was a layer of color light in the stone caves.
And in that cyan stone cave, there were also several spirit pattern books, but Nie Xuan could obviously see that the quality of these books was much higher than that on the wooden shelf.
"These are also spirit patterns?" Nie Xuan looked surprised.
When he first came here, he obviously didn't think that there was a mechanism here.
"The spirit patterns in these stone caves are of the highest grade even in the first-grade spirit patterns. See if there's one that works for you. Su Yanluo smiled lightly.
Nie Xuan smiled on his face, his slender palm stretched out into the stone cave, and he suddenly felt that the light shield repelled him, he did not retreat, but the spiritual energy in his palm surged.
With a bang, he went straight deep and grabbed the spirit pattern book.
"A spirit pattern, a gold and stone pattern. Nie Xuan looked at the golden book in his hand, his eyes lit up slightly, this golden stone pattern was much larger than the iron wood grain in terms of effect and power.
When this spirit pattern is cast, the surface of Nie Xuan's body will be in the shape of a golden stone, becoming extremely hard, and it has an extremely strong anti-shock power, which shows that this spirit pattern is powerful.
Next, Nie Xuan followed suit again and took out a spirit pattern ancient book from it.
It's just that this time the difference is that the surface of the spirit pattern book is showing a sky-blue luster, and the three big characters "water ripples" are written on it.
The water ripple is also a spiritual pattern.
The effect of this spirit pattern is to defend the body with water, turning the enemy's attack into an invisible and easy unload, which is a very rare characteristic.
Nie Xuan didn't expect that the collection in Tianhai Academy was so rich, and this time it was really not in vain.
"That's it. Holding the two spirit pattern classics lightly in his palm, Nie Xuan smiled lightly, with a strong surprise in his heart, and stood up and said.
Su Yanluo was slightly stunned when she heard this, and said, "You don't look at the rest?"
"Greed can't chew more, it's enough to have these two spirit patterns in the condensation period, and cultivation is the first place after all. Nie Xuan shook his head, a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Let's go, find the steward of Tianhai Pavilion, and exchange these two books. Nie Xuan patted her on the shoulder and smiled gently.
Su Yanluo nodded slightly, and was just about to walk away with him, when suddenly a cold light laugh came from the staircase not far away, and I saw the personable Nangong Bai appear in front of them with a playful face.
"Nangong Bai, what are you doing here?" Nie Xuan's face was slightly gloomy and he said in a low voice.
Hearing that the other party's tone was not good, Nangong Bai glanced at them, and said with a light smile: "What, can't I come to this Tianhai Pavilion? I also happen to be interested in spirit patterns." ”
"Since that's the case, then please, my sister and I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you. Nie Xuan snorted lightly, said without being salty or light, and then went to the first floor with Su Yanluo.
However, when they were about to go downstairs, Nangong Bai stretched out his arm, blocked the exit sideways, and said with a playful smile: "You can go down, but you have to leave the spirit pattern." ”
"Nangong Bai, are you trying to find fault?" Su Yanluo stared at him coldly and said.
"It's not that I'm looking for fault, it's that you're unruly. Today, the steward is on leave due to trivial matters, and I am temporarily in charge of managing the lower three floors of Tianhai Pavilion, so if you want to take away the spirit pattern, you must ask me first. Nangong raised his eyebrows, and said indifferently, with a sense of pride in his words.
"It would be such a coincidence that this kind of thing happened. Nie Xuan frowned slightly.
The young man pursed his lips, he naturally believed that Nangong Bai would not make up such a lie, because Tianhai Pavilion was the important place of the academy, and if Nangong Bai violated the regulations, he would inevitably be punished.
Thinking of this, Nie Xuan couldn't help but stretch out his hand and hand out the jade slip, "Nangong Bai, this is the jade slip given by Teacher Hu Wei, and I will use it in exchange for the right to use these two spirit patterns." Return after three days. ”
"Take it back, I don't agree. Nangong Bai stroked his sleeves and said casually.
"Nangong Bai, don't go too far, you're just taking care of this place, why do you need to use chicken feathers as an arrow to deliberately make things difficult for Nie Xuan?" Su Yanluo frowned and said coldly.
"I said it, I don't agree. The steward asked me to take care of it for a day, and I should do my duty well today, and if something goes wrong, I can't explain it. The corners of Nangong Bai's mouth raised slightly, and he said seriously.
