On their way to the library, Fredrinn received a system prompt.
[You have discovered Olivia's unmatched cultivation potential! Help her select a suitable introductory body refining cultivation method! Reward: 200 Fate Points!]
[You realized the dangers of Olivia's spirit root being discovered. Help her find an item that could hide her spirit root. Reward: 500 Fate Points and Aura Concealment Function!]
Currently, he has 900 Fate Points. This means that he only needed 100 more Fate Points to unlock the Fate Shop.
The first system mission wasn't difficult and he could complete it within today, but the second one might take some time. After all, there was no guarantee that the Silversword Treasure House would have the item.
When they arrived at the library, their presence quickly attracted everyone's attention.
"Greetings, Lord Fredrinn." The guard of the library greeted him. It was no longer the same guard that he met back then.
Fredrinn waved his hand to acknowledge the greeting. He then brought Olivia inside under the curious gazes of the crowd.
At this moment, there were a lot of people on the first floor of the library. Most of them were young disciples and servants of the family so he paid them no heed. He only responded to their greetings with a light nod of his head.
"Olivia, there are many kinds of body refining methods in the library, but we need to find one that is suitable for your future path. To build a solid foundation, finding an appropriate refining method is necessary so we have to be careful when choosing one." This was what Roland told him before he started his cultivation journey.
"I understand, my lord." Olivia solemnly nodded.
"Don't worry. I will help you look for a suitable body refining method." Fredrinn eagerly brought her to the first bookshelf.
Mountain Tiger Body
Earth Rhino Physique
Jade Butterfly Refining Method
All sorts of body refining techniques were displayed, making Olivia excited.
Fredrinn patiently explained the nature of the techniques to her. He had gone through these teachings when he was young. To be precise, it was forced into him by Roland. He didn't have any issues teaching her the basic principles of the techniques since everything was engraved in his mind.
Olivia stared at him in admiration. She didn't expect that he knew so much about the fundamental concept of the techniques.
After almost two hours of searching, they finally found a technique that was suitable for Olivia to train.
Mystic Heaven Refining Canon
[This refining method is suitable for Olivia to use!]
Seeing the change in his expression, Olivia turned her gaze at the book in his hand. "My lord, did you find something good?" She asked curiously.
Fredrinn smiled and nodded his head. "Yes. I found the perfect technique for you. Let's register it first so that we can start with your training."
Hearing this, Olivia's eyes brightened as she nodded. "Yes, my lord!"
The two headed to the librarian to register the book under his name.
"Sir Alfred, I'd like to borrow this book." Fredrinn handed the book to the old librarian. This person was an old servant of the family. According to Roland, this old man was from his grandfather's generation. He even reminded Fredrinn to always be respectful to this old librarian.
The old librarian lifted his head. He stared at Fredrinn before he looked at the book. "Is this for the girl?" He asked as he scribbled something on a piece of paper.
"Yes," Fredrinn responded while observing the old man. Unlike the other servants who were afraid of him, this old librarian never displayed any fear in his eyes.
The old man nodded promptly. He then handed the book to Fredrinn. "Return it after five days."
Fredrinn knew the rules so he acknowledged the old man's words with a nod. He then left with Olivia after pressing his thumbprint on the document presented by Alfred.
Looking at their receding figure, the old librarian frowned in confusion. "The last time that kid came here, he was only at the first layer of the Qi Gathering stage. How did he break through seven layers in just a few days?"
After a moment of silence, he leaned on his chair with a thoughtful expression. "It seems like the kid is hiding something…"
***
'Why do I feel that the old man is more powerful than Roland? Weird…' Fredrinn had this nagging feeling after they left the library.
'I should ask Roland about the old librarian the next time I see him.' Although they lived in the same estate, Roland was very busy so they rarely saw each other. Fredrinn also didn't want to meet him at this moment since he might discover the huge increase in his cultivation. Unlike Darius who didn't bother to inspect his cultivation, Roland was different.
He would always check Fredrinn's progress every time they saw each other.
Fredrinn brought Olivia back to his study. He was afraid that her training would cause a commotion so he decided to train her privately. "Sit down on the floor."
Olivia followed his command and sat in a lotus position. "Is this posture fine, my lord?" She probed.
Fredrinn smiled and shook his head. "Your sitting posture doesn't matter. You just need to sit in a comfortable position."
"I see." Olivia blushed in embarrassment.
"First, you need to read the book by yourself. There might be some complicated cultivation jargons written so you need to ask me if you don't understand them." Fredrinn handed the book to her.
"Yes, my lord." Olivia nodded. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Alright. You may begin."
Olivia opened the book. An introduction to the technique was written. It was long and detailed so it took her some time to read everything.
The next part was the breathing exercises and the specific physical training method. There were also diagrams for the physical exercises as well as the related explanations of their respective physiological effects.
Time slipped by and she soon immersed herself into reading.
[You have selected a suitable technique for Olivia! Reward: 200 Fate Points!]
[Congratulations! You have collected more than 1000 Fate Points! You can now access the Fate Shop!]
Seeing this, Fredrinn was ecstatic. He quickly searched for the Fate Shop within the system prompt. He noticed that there was an additional icon beneath his Fate Points. The icon was in the shape of a house.
Fredrinn clicked the small house icon.
[You have unlocked the Fate Shop! You received a gift box!]
He excitedly opened the gift box. Last time, he got a 6th-grade elixir from the gift box and two more rewards. He wondered what goodies he would get this time.
