Mu Jinyu carefully selected and finally chose the "Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Technique."
Although the description of the "Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Technique" is somewhat vague, its status as a top-quality grade body refining technique is enough to make one excited.
"It's about time to go back."
As he spoke, Mu Jinyu's heart suddenly stirred, and he took out the manual for "Great Freedom Heavenly Wood Sword Qi" that was in his storage bag.
"Although I can still keep this manual for half a month, I've already mastered it, so there's no point in keeping it. I should return it sooner rather than later."
After saying that, Mu Jinyu took the three manuals and walked down from the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion to find the Guardian Elder to register.
There were a few inner sect disciples on the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion, selecting secret manuals.
When they saw Mu Jinyu holding three manuals and walking downstairs, they were stunned.
One of them laughed, "This guy is quite interesting, actually picking three manuals at once!"
"Indeed interesting, let's go see if the Guardian Elder will kick him out!"
Both of them liked to watch the excitement and had time to slowly select manuals. Seeing Mu Jinyu take so many manuals, they knew there would be something entertaining to watch, so they hurriedly followed him downstairs!
Mu Jinyu didn't know that his action of picking two manuals and preparing to return one was seen as a foolish move by others.
He quickly reached the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion and said to the Guardian Elder, "Elder, I have finished selecting."
The Guardian Elder saw Mu Jinyu holding three manuals and was stunned. Then he said helplessly, "Did you take too many? Or are you unsure which manual is most suitable and want me to give you some references?"
If it were anyone else doing this, the Guardian Elder would have scolded them angrily.
But because Mu Jinyu was one of his favored disciples, he restrained himself and spoke kindly to Mu Jinyu.
"No, I selected two manuals, and the other one was chosen when I was an Outer Sect Disciple, so I'm here to return it," Mu Jinyu said, shaking his head. After explaining, he handed the token from winning first place in the Outer Gate exams to the Guardian Elder.
"Elder, since I have been promoted to Inner Sect Disciple, the chance to select manuals from the Scripture Pavilion once a month has been reset. This token is my reward for winning first place in the Outer Gate exams, allowing me to select a manual from the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion, so I can choose two in total."
Mu Jinyu was afraid the Guardian Elder wouldn't understand why he could select two manuals, so he explained again.
Upon hearing this, the Guardian Elder took Mu Jinyu's token and used his divine sense to inspect it, confirming that Mu Jinyu hadn't lied.
Then he took the three manuals Mu Jinyu handed over for inspection and found that they were indeed two manuals from the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion and one manual of "Great Freedom Heavenly Wood Sword Qi" borrowed not long ago by Mu Jinyu.
"Yes, I was mistaken."
The Guardian Elder's old face reddened slightly, then he couldn't help but ask, "Although you have trained the 'Great Freedom Heavenly Wood Sword Qi' to the level of an initial insight into the path, it hasn't been a month. You can keep it for a while longer and don't have to return it so quickly."
"It's okay." Mu Jinyu shook his head, "I have already reached the masterful skill level, and the remaining stages can't be understood just by studying the manual. Keeping it isn't meaningful, so I'll return it directly to avoid forgetting and being punished."
"What? You've reached the masterful skill level?"
The Guardian Elder was shocked upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words. Then, his cloudy eyes brightened with excitement, and he repeatedly said, "Show me your skills."
"Okay." Mu Jinyu was not someone who liked to show off, but considering the Guardian Elder was important, he couldn't be casual. He flicked his finger and transformed a wisp of Heavenly Wood Sword Qi into various shapes.
"Good! Good! Good! It is truly masterful Heavenly Wood Sword Qi!"
The Guardian Elder was moved to tears, wildly exclaiming in his heart, 'With this child here, the Heavenly Sword Faction finally has hope. Heaven indeed blesses our Heavenly Sword Faction!'
Mu Jinyu was startled by the Guardian Elder's excitement, thinking, "Is it necessary to be this excited?"
"Guardian Elder, can I leave now, or should I first return the manual?" Mu Jinyu asked cautiously.
The Guardian Elder said, "It's okay, you can leave. I will return the manual later."
"Alright, thank you, Guardian Elder."
After speaking, Mu Jinyu left with the "Ten Steps Move" and the "Dragon-Elephant Prison Suppression Technique" manuals.
The two inner sect disciples who had been secretly watching from the Scripture Pavilion's first floor lobby were stunned when they saw Mu Jinyu leaving with two manuals.
"What happened? The Guardian Elder has such a bad temper, why didn't he scold him and even let him leave with two manuals?"
"Uh, I just remembered, isn't today the Outer Gate exams? The first place winner of the Outer Gate exams can select one more manual from the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion, so he must be this year's first place winner."
"I see." Upon hearing the explanation, the other disciple understood.
Then they looked at each other excitedly, "It seems the Guardian Elder is in a good mood today, so he didn't scold that guy. How about we take this chance to grab a few more manuals we are unsure about and ask the Guardian Elder for advice?"
They understood why Mu Jinyu could take two manuals, but they didn't know Mu Jinyu was returning one manual rather than asking for guidance.
So, they excitedly rushed to the second floor and took several manuals they were unsure about, then ran to the Guardian Elder.
"Elder, please help us choose, which of these movement techniques is more suitable for me. The cultivation technique I practice is..."
"Elder, please look at what I should choose. My cultivation level is at the Fourth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm. The last cultivation technique I selected doesn't seem suitable, but I want to learn a divine skill..."
The Guardian Elder, still moved by Mu Jinyu's potential benefit for the Heavenly Sword Faction, was annoyed by the constant buzzing of the two disciples.
His good mood instantly vanished, and he scolded, "Get out! I don't have time to advise each of you. If you keep bothering me, I'll cancel your selection privilege for this month!"
"Ah?!"
The two disciples were stunned, unable to believe the Guardian Elder's sudden change in mood.
One of them pointed in the direction Mu Jinyu had left and stammered, "But he just, why could he...?"
The Guardian Elder knew they were referring to Mu Jinyu, glanced at them disdainfully, and couldn't be bothered to explain. "Do you think you can compare with him?"
"If you can train a divine skill to a masterful level within ten days, I'll advise you anytime, but can you?"
"What? How's that possible?!"
They were dumbfounded, unable to imagine such a genius who could master a divine skill to a masterful level in just ten days.
"Get back and choose your manuals slowly!" The Guardian Elder snorted coldly.
They immediately scrambled away with their manuals.
