Jiang Li felt his hairs stand on end, as if he were being targeted by some primordial beast.
What was going on with this Scripture Repository? Was there something terrifying within? Su Dan Novel Network.
“Little brat, what are you afraid of? I won’t eat you!” a hoarse voice echoed again.
Immediately after, an old man dressed in coarse linen slowly emerged from behind the bookshelves.
The old man’s face was sallow, and a flicker of confusion crossed his eyes as he slowly approached Jiang Li.
[Name]: Tang Hai
[Cultivation Realm]: Life and Death Realm, Ninth Heaven
[Destiny]: Awe-Inspiring East Wilderness (Blue), Late Bloomer (Blue), Ruthless (Blue).
[Life Script]: A supporting character in "The Undying Demonic Venerable." Former Grand Elder of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect, father of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect's Saintess Tang Siqi. Suffered a major blow, causing his cultivation to stagnate at the Ninth Heaven of the Life and Death Realm. He eventually comprehended life and death before his lifespan ended, achieving sainthood. From then on, he couldn't be stopped and became a hegemon of the East Wilderness.
[Affection]: 0
[Recent Turning Point]: None.
[Ruthless]: Extremely cruel towards enemies.
[Awe-Inspiring East Wilderness]: His name spread throughout the East Wilderness… Awe-inspiring East Wilderness…
[Late Bloomer]: Achieved sainthood at the last moment and began his rise.
Jiang Li looked at the script of the old man before him, his heart filled with shock.
He was the Saintess's father, at the Ninth Heaven of the Life and Death Realm…
Stronger than the Sect Master of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect. It seemed the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect had deep waters. Someone at the Ninth Heaven of the Life and Death Realm was guarding this Scripture Repository.
“Greetings, Senior. I am Jiang Li, a disciple who passed the outer sect examination today and joined the inner sect!” Jiang Li respectfully addressed Tang Hai.
“I’m no senior, just an old waste guarding this Scripture Repository!” Tang Hai waved his hand and continued.
Tang Hai looked at Jiang Li, seemingly recalling something.
His daughter seemed to have presided over an outer sect examination today. This must be the person his daughter chose, no wonder he carried her aura.
Since he was his daughter's person, he might as well give him some benefits.
An old waste guarding the Scripture Repository?… Jiang Li’s mouth twitched slightly…
If it weren’t for being able to see your life script, I might have believed you a little.
A waste at the Ninth Heaven of Life and Death, where would such a waste exist…
Huh, why has this Tang Hai's affection for me…
Jiang Li suddenly discovered that Tang Hai’s affection for him had increased inexplicably.
The affection bar had now reached 15 points.
“Little brat, on the bottom shelf of the third row of bookshelves, in the last slot, there’s a good martial art. If you trust this old man, take that one to cultivate!” Tang Hai continued slowly.
Jiang Li blinked. What was this guy up to?
Was he giving him an opportunity because he thought he was handsome?
Whatever, I’ll get it first…
Jiang Li thanked him respectfully and headed towards the place the old man had indicated.
The bottom shelf of the third row of bookshelves, the last slot…
Before long, Jiang Li found a martial art on the bottom shelf.
[Melting Fire Scripture]: Yellow Grade, Low-Tier martial art. Can advance by absorbing exotic fires. Melting all exotic fires in the world can incinerate the firmament.
Jiang Li looked at the [Melting Fire Scripture] before him, his expression fluctuating. A Yellow Grade, Low-Tier martial art that required absorbing exotic fires to advance.
Melting all exotic fires in the world can incinerate the firmament, that’s incredibly domineering.
Exotic fires are peculiar flames on the Ancient Desolate Continent. Each different exotic fire possesses different powers.
The types of exotic fires are also myriad and strange: Heavenly Fire, True Fire, Earth Fire, Beast Fire… all contain extremely potent energy.
Moreover, exotic fires are incredibly precious and not easily obtainable by ordinary people.
Forget it, I’ll choose this one. Jiang Li gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
Since I can see others' life scripts, finding exotic fires will be much easier than for others. Besides, I don't lack powerful martial arts for now. Yellow Grade is Yellow Grade then.
Subsequently, Jiang Li took the [Melting Fire Scripture] and prepared to register it with Tang Hai.
“Little brat, you’ve made the right decision!” Tang Hai said with a smile, seeing Jiang Li approach him with the [Melting Fire Scripture].
This kid hadn’t disappointed him.
Over the years, he had guided many people to choose this martial art, but most had refused.
These wastes, they lacked ambition and had no idea what they were missing.
This was an upgradable martial art with infinite potential.
If it could devour enough exotic fires, it could even become an Emperor-grade martial art.
Tang Hai thought disdainfully, completely forgetting that he himself had only upgraded the [Melting Fire Scripture] to the Earth Grade.
Following this, Tang Hai registered the martial art for Jiang Li.
After Jiang Li memorized the [Melting Fire Scripture] in his room at the Scripture Repository, he returned it to its original place.
“Thank you, Senior. I’ll take my leave now!” Jiang Li respectfully said to Tang Hai.
“Wait, take this booklet. This [Melting Fire Scripture] isn't that simple. There are many things to pay attention to. This is my cultivation experience. Take it and have a look!” Tang Hai then took out a small booklet from his embrace and threw it to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li looked at the thick booklet in his hand, feeling somewhat surprised. A Yellow Grade martial art actually had so much cultivation experience. Perhaps this truly was an ultimate martial art.
After Jiang Li put away the booklet, Tang Hai waved his hand and let Jiang Li leave.
“Whoosh!!!”
Shortly after Jiang Li left, the space in the Scripture Repository suddenly rippled.
An old man with white hair slowly emerged from a spatial rift and appeared in the Scripture Repository.
“Old Tang, have you tricked another disciple into choosing that [Melting Fire Scripture] again?” the white-haired old man asked with a wry smile.
Tang Hai puffed out his beard and glared. “What do you mean ‘tricked’? This is an ultimate technique, a martial art that can advance to Emperor Grade!”
The white-haired old man chuckled, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. “That kid has a congenital physique. If he can be refined into a potent elixir, perhaps it could extend your life by a few years. Don’t you have any thoughts?”
“Hmph, in your eyes, am I that kind of person? I’m not so depraved to that extent!” Tang Hai snorted, clearly displeased by the white-haired old man’s words.
The white-haired old man’s mouth was filled with mockery.
Not depraved?
Back then, in order to research the [Melting Fire Art], he even dissected a sect’s Holy Son, over a dozen true disciples, and various geniuses from other sects… You’re telling me he’s not depraved?
Now, it’s just a mere inner disciple, ha…
If it were the old you, you would have probably refined him into an elixir long ago.
However, since you have no intentions…
The white-haired old man licked his lips. A congenital physique, although not particularly powerful, was extremely rare.
Since you don’t want him, then I’ll take him to refine medicine.
“Old Ghost Xu, if you dare to lay a hand on that little fellow, I’ll make you recall the good times back then!” Tang Hai grinned, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth.
