In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

"Hey, get up, the Immortal Ascension Order is no longer important to me now. I just want to confirm it, and I didn't tell you what to do to you."

"Besides, I am also a casual cultivator. I naturally understand your difficulties. I would do the same thing in my place."

"Let's stop this matter, I won't care about it!" Lu Yuan said as he helped Xiang Zhili up, with a look of extreme sympathy on his face, trying to show that he was at a loss for this situation.

Seeing Lu Yuan's performance, Xiang Zhili slowly stood up.

"Thank you for your generosity, young master uncle. You are really laughing at my ugly behavior."

Lu Yuan naturally comforted him quickly and at the same time secretly glanced at the bookshelf.

Naturally, Han Li and the others had noticed the anomaly a long time ago. When they saw Lu Yuan winking, they knew it was time to enter.

"Brother, what's going on?" Zhang Tie came over pretending.

"Nothing, I just talked about something with Senior Brother Xiang. What do you think?" Lu Yuan looked at Han Li and gave him a fierce look.

Han Li understood, and he suddenly pressed tightly against Xiang Zhili, almost having the urge to grab him by the collar. He asked fiercely: "Hmph, tell me, what is going on with all these rags?"

Lu Yuan was startled by Han Li's move. Was it a bit too much?

Fortunately, Xiang Zhili seemed to be addicted to acting. He pretended to be pitiful again and said aggrievedly that he didn't know.

"Forget it, it's not easy for Senior Nephew Xiang, don't force him." Lu Yuan quickly pulled Han Li aside. After all, Han Li didn't know Xiang Zhili's identity, so don't cause trouble.

"As for us, let's just treat it as a lesson." Lu Yuan patted Xiang Zhili, then called Han Li and pretended to leave.

Xiang Zhili looked at Lu Yuan and the three people who had turned their backs, with a hint of contempt and ridicule in his eyes, curled his lips slightly and suddenly said, "Forget it, I won't hide it from Uncle Lu!"

"Actually, in this place, the people who come here can only see what they see based on their state of mind!"

"What do you mean by nephew Xiang?" Lu Yuan turned around quickly.

After a moment of uncertainty on Xiang Zhili's face, he suddenly seemed to have made up his mind and finally explained.

In some famous sects that have been passed down for a long time, the secret techniques and other skills are one of the most precious treasures, how can they be easily revealed to others. Especially among the large number of low-level disciples, there may be undercover agents from other sects, waiting for opportunities to steal secrets.

"But your status, uncle, is unusual. You should be able to find Uncle Xu," Xiang Zhili said while rubbing his fingers.

Lu Yuan nodded, understanding what Xiang Zhili meant.

So he turned around and went downstairs, after paying a price. Old man Xu took out another token and asked Lu Yuan to hand it to Xiang Zhili.

After Xiang Zhili got the token, he played a magic formula. In an empty space on the second floor, an upward staircase appeared out of thin air.

"Only those who are in the foundation-building stage and above are eligible to view the items stored on the third floor."

The space on the third floor is much smaller than that on the second floor, but the collection inside is completely different.

More than a dozen rows of wooden bookshelves filled the room neatly and crowdedly, leaving only a passage for about one person between each row.

"This article covers all the information and techniques from the peak of Qi refining to the middle stage of foundation building. It will definitely satisfy a few people." Seeing Lu Yuan and the others dumbfounded, Xiang Zhili said with a smile.

"May I ask Senior Brother Xiang, where is the information on how to build a foundation?" Han Li was ecstatic.

"The third column on the left, on the middle shelf, contains the experiences of hundreds of foundation-building seniors in the Yellow Maple Valley."

"Is there anything about making talismans?" Zhang Tie also asked.

"In the fifth column from the right, there are all kinds of talisman-making methods for junior, middle and advanced levels, as well as the experience of many famous talisman-making experts."

"I wonder what little uncle would like to see?" Xiang Zhili dismissed Han Li and the others with a smile on his face.

"First get me some secret techniques and stuff."

After hearing this, Xiang Zhili immediately trotted into the bookshelf, despite his age. But his movements are extremely vigorous. Go east. In just a moment, Xi Shi skillfully rummaged through a small pile of jade slips. Then, panting, he carried these jade slips in front of Lu Yuan and said with a flattering look on his face:

"Uncle Master, these are the secret techniques collected on this floor, ranging from the Qi refining stage to the foundation building stage."

"From the Qi refining stage to the foundation building stage?"

"There is another layer above. Only masters in the Dan-formation stage or with the master's order can go up. If you really want to go up, you might as well ask Master Tian——"

"No need to go to such trouble. I've been interested in these jade slips for a long time." Lu Yuan touched his chin and said cheerfully.

He casually left Xiang Zhili's jade slip in the wooden stand and picked it up. His consciousness was immersed in it and he began to observe.

Lu Yuan briefly looked through the jade slips that Xiang Zhili brought, and found that although there were many techniques, they were all average.

In terms of sophistication, it can't even compare to Tian Fei's Jin Yuan Gong, let alone the Five Elements Transforming Gold Heavenly Gong.

After a short while, the only thing that could enter Lu Yuan's Dharma Eyes was the secret technique of cultivating the eyes.

The secret technique is called Five Elements Divine Eyes, which can see through most illusions. And with the improvement of cultivation level, it also has the function of tracking and positioning. Like the basic Five Elements Escape Technique, even the teleportation technique cannot escape this target lock.

Once you have mastered it, you can even use it to attack enemies.

This is a growth-type secret technique that logically should not appear on this level, but Lu Yuan understood the reason after continuing to study.

The requirements for cultivation are too harsh and have cut off the thoughts of most cultivators.

It must be cultivated with a single spiritual root, which means it is created for the heavenly spiritual root.

However, Lu Yuan's metallic spiritual roots just meet the requirements, and he can cultivate the golden pupil inside.

After putting away this jade slip, Lu Yuan replaced the other jade slips and looked through them again, but found nothing else useful.

As for Han Li and Zhang Tie, they also read through relevant classics that they were interested in. From the pile of jade slips in their arms, it was obvious that they had gained a lot.

Lu Yuan was dumbfounded. These two guys were happy, but if they really had to copy so many jade slips, even if they emptied the three people's wealth, it wouldn't be enough.

The old man surnamed Xu said that the cost of reprinting classics on the third floor was nearly half as much as those on the second floor.

"Really that much?" Lu Yuan found Zhang Tie. Brother Tiezi was so awesome that he almost emptied the bookshelf of Talisman Making.

"I've always been trying to cross the river by feeling the stones when making talismans. It's rare to have the experience of a famous master to learn from..." Zhang Tie tightened his arms, not wanting to let go.

"Little Master Uncle, have you all finished reading it? If you want to copy it, I will ask Master Xu to come up immediately. He must be very happy."

Looking at the pile of jade slips in the arms of Han and Zhang, as well as Lu Yuan's bitter look, Xiang Zhili said with a smile on his face, and there seemed to be some gloating in his eyes.

"Yeah! I've seen everything I need to see, and I've gained a lot."

"How about I borrow a step to talk to my nephew?" Lu Yuan chuckled and said meaningfully, and then walked to the corner minding his own business.

"I won't say how much the Immortal Ascension Order is worth. My nephew wants to settle the matter just by telling someone about the third floor of Yuelu Palace. Is it unreasonable?"

"I understand what my junior uncle means. I, my nephew, have a lot of blank jade slips that have been engraved here. But my senior uncle downstairs has been guarding this place for many years. He will definitely check your storage bags, and I'm afraid I won't be able to hide them from him. Xiang Zhili took out a handful of white jade slips from his storage bag and said slyly.

"Don't worry, I have my own way. Even if the matter is revealed in the end, I will never tell my nephew."

"The storage bag is good, lend it to me." After speaking, Lu Yuan snatched the jade slips and the storage bag from Xiang Zhili's hand.

Uh……

Xiang Zhili was stunned for a moment, and then the light in his eyes disappeared, but he immediately returned to his normal expression.

Next, Lu Yuan took the time to finish the carving and left the third floor.

After reaching the second floor, Jian Xiangzhili was still on the third floor sorting out the jade slips sent back by several people, but they didn't come down. Lu Yuan put the storage bag containing the jade slips into the gourd space, and then walked towards the exit on the first floor.

"Junior brother, aren't you going to make some copies?" After the old man surnamed Xu checked, he naturally found no abnormalities in Lu Yuan's body.

"The cost of replicating it is too expensive. The three of us spent a lot just to look at it. There are no spare spiritual stones." Lu Yuan smiled bitterly.

The old man named Xu smiled awkwardly and watched the three people leave. After Lu Yuan disappeared around the corner, his expression condensed and he took out a transmission talisman.

"Xiang Xiang, come down here."
