Chapter 1656

Xiao Hua followed the female Foundation Establishment cultivator through the palace gate, then entered a large hall without consulting anyone. Inside the hall, there were many female cultivators dressed in colorful clothes and chattering with each other. Whenever they saw Xiao Hua enter, they would point at him curiously. Xiao Hua had a warm smile on his face and didn't avoid the gazes of others. His indifferent and rather confident gaze swept across the faces of these women.

Just like the Heavenly Thunder Palace, the library pavilion was also inside the large hall. As Xiao Hua walked, there were very few female cultivators around him. Occasionally, he would see a few, but they were all Foundation Establishment cultivators!

There were even a few Gold Core cultivators who walked by indifferently, causing Xiao Hua to respectfully avoid them and salute them.

After walking for the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he actually arrived at a garden. This garden was very large, and it was filled with all kinds of strange spiritual herbs and spiritual trees. In the center of this garden, there was a pond about ten zhang in diameter. There were ripples of blue water in the pond and it was covered with lotus leaves.

In the midst of the dark green, a slender and elegant lotus flower stood in the center of the pond!

The female Foundation Establishment cultivator walked to the edge of the pond and stopped. With a wave of her hand, the sect master's token and Xiao Hua's token were both thrown into the lotus flower.

"Ah?

Could it be … this lotus flower is the path to the library pavilion? "Xiao Hua was stunned. This was something he had never thought of before.

Sure enough, not long after the two tokens fell into the lotus flower, a fluctuation of spiritual energy flashed. The entire pond's green color began to tremble, then immediately boiled. At the same time the lotus leaves moved up and down, the entire pond also emitted a roaring sound. From where the lotus flower was to where Xiao Hua was standing, a thin, bright ripple began to appear. The ripple grew larger and wider, and along with the sound of the pond water, the ripple finally parted the water on both sides of the pond, revealing a passage emitting a faint green light in the pond!

"Go!" The female Foundation Establishment cultivator pointed with her hand and instructed, "You can only walk in the passage, you can't fly."

"Thank you, Martial Aunt, this disciple understands!" Xiao Hua bowed and walked in.

Just as Xiao Hua stepped into the passage, he felt a kind of cold air coming from the surrounding pool water. That cold air was extremely heavy, and it actually made people feel as if there was a mountain-like force pressing down from the pool water. Xiao Hua believed that if there was anything wrong, just the pressure from the pool water on both sides was enough to crush a Foundation Establishment or even Jindan cultivator's body into meat paste!

"This pool of water … I'm afraid it's the so-called Innate Water Essence?"

A thought passed through Xiao Hua's mind. He thought of the Water Essence that he was looking for. However, he quickly shook his head. How could the Imperial Thunder Sect use it in a formation of the Xun Thunder Palace?

Even if it was the array protecting the library!

In front of the passage was the lotus flower. The lotus flower was floating on the surface of the water, and beneath the water was a slender root!

When Xiao Hua arrived in front of it and swept it with his divine sense, he discovered that this root was actually just an illusion, and underneath this illusion was a thin spatial crack!

"Hmm?

Could it be that the library is in a space? "

Sure enough, when Xiao Hua's figure fell into the crack, there was a rather large space in front of him. The layout of the space was similar to that of the Xun Thunder Palace. There was a small pavilion, and several middle or late Foundation Establishment cultivators were sitting cross-legged on the left side of the pavilion. Only one early Foundation Establishment cultivator was holding Xiao Hua's command token and sect master's command token, standing not far from Xiao Hua with a somewhat peculiar expression.

"You're Xiao Hua?" That cultivator asked indifferently.

"This disciple is!" Xiao Hua did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly answered with a salute.

"This sect master's command token allows you to go to the libraries of the Eight Great Thunder Palaces. Which ones have you been to?"

"Alright, Martial Aunt knows. This disciple has been to the Xun Thunder Palace and the Qian Thunder Palace. This Xun Thunder Palace is the third!"

"What are you doing in my Xun Thunder Palace's library?"

"Reporting to Martial Aunt, this disciple wants to find a suitable Foundation Establishment cultivation method!"

"So simple?"

"Yes, that's all!"

"Hehe, the sect master's command token has decreed that you can browse any cultivation method or secret book that is one realm higher than you. As for what you read, I do not care!

You may go! "

That cultivator returned the command token and the sect master's command token to Xiao Hua, then pointed to the pavilion behind him and said: "The flowers inside are divided into nine petals. The fewer petals there are, the shallower your realm is!"

"Many thanks, Martial Aunt!" Xiao Hua cupped his hands in thanks, then walked into the pavilion without consulting anyone.

Sure enough, the interior of the pavilion looked like a garden. However, there was only one huge flower and tree. On top of that flower and tree, there were several graceful flowers. Xiao Hua scanned with his divine sense and found flowers with only one petal and two petals!

"These two flowers most likely contain Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivation methods and secret books!"

Xiao Hua walked in front of one of the flowers and looked at it with rapt attention. Sure enough, there were strong fluctuations of spiritual power between the stamens. Xiao Hua was secretly delighted. He flew up, and his entire body became smaller and smaller. Finally, he turned into the size of a bee and disappeared into the stamen!

A month later, Xiao Hua came out of the pavilion with a tired face. The disciple on duty only scanned Xiao Hua with his divine sense, then ignored him. Xiao Hua cupped his hands towards that disciple, then left through the crack he came in from. This time, he didn't leave through the original passage, but directly flew out from the lotus flower.

Soon after, Xiao Hua walked from the garden to the main hall. Following his memory, he found the way from the main hall and left Xunlei Palace, then flew back to Eastern Ridge!

After returning to Eastern Ridge, Xiao Hua opened the sealed formation. He didn't have time to check anything, so he only activated the Heavenly Fire Formation. He sat down on the cloud bed in the cave and carefully recalled the cultivation methods he saw in Xunlei Palace!

While memorizing, he also took out a jade slip and recorded his own understanding inside.

After another ten days of bitter cultivation, Xiao Hua finally opened his eyes. His pair of eyes once again stared blankly at the entrance of the Immortal's Cave. After a long while, his eyes finally regained their luster. Xiao Hua could only hear him talking to himself: "Strange, how come this Foundation Establishment cultivation technique is different from Aura Refining cultivation technique?

The Qi Refining cultivation method has the same meridians, but the Foundation Establishment cultivation method … seems to have several different meridians!

Although there aren't many, they are still different. "

"If only I could use my divine sense to duplicate them!" Xiao Hua sighed with emotion. He carefully put away the jade slip that recorded his own understanding.

However, he didn't dare to do anything in the library. Since Tai Qing Sect's illusory formation could leave behind images, presumably the library's formation also had the same effect. There was no need for him to try to be clever and end up with a blunder!

"Since it's the same meridians, the difference in tempering true essence between different cultivation methods can be seen at a glance. However, there's no way to compare the different meridians!"

Xiao Hua thought to himself: "It's really difficult to find a suitable cultivation method among the many cultivation methods.

Alas, no wonder the Sect Master reminded me when he gave me the token! "

Soon after, Xiao Hua stood up and flew into the herb garden. He spread out his divine sense and walked to several different places. He had secretly placed warning talismans in those places. At this time, it seemed that there were no abnormalities. No one had used the lost token to enter Eastern Ridge's herb garden!

"I'm afraid I'm thinking too much!"

Xiao Hua thought. He took care of the weeds and other things in the herb garden. Then, he used a technique to draw in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and poured it into the herb garden. Only then did he return to his Immortal's Cave. As before, he took the Soul Gathering Pill and calmly cultivated.

To the left of Thunder Quake Palace, in a scarlet mountain range, there was a deep and serene passage. At the end of the passage was a brightly lit hall. More than a dozen cultivators were leisurely sitting. In front of these cultivators was a small jade table. On the table were several plates of spirit fruits and a jug of wine. The jug wasn't large and seemed to be able to be drunk in one or two mouthfuls. In the hands of each cultivator was a jade cup. The jade cup was filled with dark green spirit wine. The spirit wine's fragrance assailed the nostrils.

These cultivators were sitting in a circle. In the circle, there was a large open space. In the open space, there were several graceful and flirtatious women. They were dancing lightly and gracefully. The entire hall was filled with pleasant music. It was unknown where it came from, but the dancing women's waists were really alluring!

The cultivators were none other than Zhen Qikui of Thunder Quake Palace's Yan Lei Ridge. At this time, Zhen Qikui's face was red and his eyes were slightly red. He looked around at the cultivators and raised his cup. "Senior Martial Brothers, this little brother is not talented. Here's a toast to you all!"

"Hehe, Junior Martial Brother, although the name of your Spring Flower Wine is vulgar, the taste is excellent. It's a rare spirit wine in our country of Xi.

This kind of spirit wine should be slowly tasted. It's somewhat indecent for you to raise your cup again and again like this! "

An early stage Foundation Establishment cultivator smiled and raised his cup. As he spoke, he drank his cup like the other cultivators.

Zhen Qikui drank the wine and filled his cup from the small wine pot. He said, "Look at what Seventeenth Senior Martial Brother said. Our Yan Lei Ridge brothers are as close as brothers. This little brother accidentally got such a good wine. Isn't it to share it with you all?

I still have some Spring Flower Wine. When you all leave, I'll give each of you a pot! "

"Haha, straightforward!"

Seventeenth Senior Martial Brother raised his cup and smiled. "Junior Martial Brother has always been so straightforward. Otherwise, I would have thought that you had something to do!

Come, let's toast to Junior Martial Brother! "

Zhen Qikui smiled and drank his cup. But then he put the cup on the table and sighed. "Seventeenth Senior Martial Brother, you're wrong. I do have something to do!"

"Haha, Junior Martial Brother, just say it. We're all Foundation Establishment cultivators. There are few things in the Thunder Quake Sect that we can't do!"

"What else can it be?

It's just that I couldn't go to the Feather Immortal Assembly!

Seeing others show off at the Feather Immortal Assembly and … win the favor of the Fairy, I really can't get over it! "Zhen Qikui said with a gloomy face.

"You can leave now!"

Zhen Weisheng, who was sitting in the middle, heard this and frowned. He waved his hand and said to the women in the middle.

"Yes!" The women stopped dancing, bowed, and left with smiles on their faces.

"Fourth Senior Martial Brother, why did you ask them to leave?" Seventeenth Senior Martial Brother asked curiously.

"Zhen Hao, how can you be so careless?

Didn't Junior Martial Brother say it already?

This is about the disciples of the Feather Immortal Assembly and the disciple called Xiao Hua. The fewer people, the better! "Zhen Weisheng said with a smile.

"Xiao Hua?

The disciple who will participate in the Feather Immortal Assembly?

Is he … very famous? "Seventeenth Senior Martial Brother Zhen Hao asked curiously.
