Chapter 37 - Growing Knowledge
After that, Ruan Xiude, Ruan Huan, Qi Liang, and the others chatted for a while. Under the admiring gazes of everyone present, he turned around and continued walking towards the Martial Arts Pavilion.
In this battle with Deng Xingyuan, Ruan Xiude had gained a lot of energy points.
After the news spread, he believed that more energy points would appear.
Ruan Xiude was quite satisfied.
He casually walked along the way, copying pills and spirit medicines everywhere.
Not long after, he arrived at the Martial Arts Pavilion.
The Martial Arts Pavilion was located at the intersection between the Inner Sect and Outer Sect. Both the Inner Sect and Outer Sect disciples could enter and choose their own secret manuals.
Looking from afar, the Martial Arts Pavilion was an ancient four-story building.
However, it gave off a heavy feeling of history, making people not dare to underestimate it.
Among them, the first layer was filled with some miscellaneous notes, historical information, medical books, and third rank martial arts secret manuals. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
As for the second and third floors, they were the martial arts secret manuals above the third rank.
Outer Sect disciples were usually only allowed to enter the first floor.
Inner Sect disciples and core disciples could enter the second and third floors.
As for the fourth floor, it involved the inheritance of the sect.
Only core disciples, Elders, and Sect Masters had the right to approach it.
These were all common knowledge of the sect.
Ruan Xiude had already known about this.
He glanced around and walked in.
He walked into the first floor of the Martial Arts Pavilion and saw a vast hall. There were a large number of ancient bookshelves there.
Many disciples were choosing their secret manuals.
On the right side of the door, there was a counter.
There was a deacon standing there, responsible for managing the relevant matters.
Ruan Xiude looked at him and sighed in his heart.
This deacon was much stronger than Bai De and the others. He had already reached the Condensation Spin Stage late period.
Unfortunately, his strength was far from being comparable to the Third Elder.
After he had duplicated the treasures of the Third Elder, his potential had already risen to the top level of the Outer Sect.
He no longer cared about the treasures on him.
As for those new disciples of Outer Sect, he didn't care about their treasures.
He could only go and choose a few secret manuals.
Of course, Ruan Xiude knew that the Martial Arts Pavilion was a place of great importance for the Drifting Cloud Sect. There was definitely a true expert guarding this place.
However, that expert was obviously not on the first floor.
He could not see that person.
Although Ruan Xiude had just started reading, the contents of this book were enough to lay a good foundation for him.
After Ruan Xiude finished reading these books, he had a basic understanding of this Martial Arts World.
In the future, no matter what, Ruan Xiude would not be at a loss.
After that, Ruan Xiude picked up the few secret manuals he had chosen and went to the counter to register them.
However, before Ruan Xiude could say anything, a few Outer Sect disciples beside him who had also picked up the secret manuals could not help but laugh.
“Is this guy a fool? He actually took so many secret manuals?”
“He is probably a new entry disciple. He doesn't know the rules of the Outer Sect. Does he think that he can choose as he pleases here?”
“Even the old disciples can only choose one secret book at a time, let alone the new disciples.”
“This guy is waiting to be reprimanded by the deacon.”
Ruan Xiude did not pay attention to them. He placed the secret manuals in his hands on the counter and looked at the deacon.
“Deacon, these are the books I chose. Please register them.”
Seeing this, the deacon's face stiffened, and he snorted coldly.
“You are a new disciple, right? Don't you know about the sect rules of the Drifting Cloud Sect? Every time there are new disciples doing this, it's really annoying.”
“Every time, only one person can choose a book. This is the rule.”
“Go back first this time. Next time, you can come and choose another book. This time, just treat it as a lesson!”
The deacon blew his beard and shouted.
The other Outer Sect disciples also looked at the good show with cold smiles.
“No, I want to choose these books. You should register for me.”
Ruan Xiude's expression remained indifferent, neither hurried nor slow.
“I can't even command an Outer Sect disciple like you.”
Seeing this scene, a trace of anger flashed across the deacon's eyes. He was about to punish Ruan Xiude.
The ridicule in the eyes of the few Outer Sect disciples became even stronger.
But in the next moment, they couldn't help but freeze.
Their gazes all fell on the black token that Ruan Xiude took out.
On the token, there were four big words, ‘Potential Number One'.
“Deacon, can I borrow the books now?”
Ruan Xiude said indifferently.
The surrounding disciples and the deacon came back to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream.
They looked at Ruan Xiude in disbelief.
They began to whisper amongst themselves.
“This is the identity card of the new disciple with the highest potential?”
“He is that Ruan Xiude, who was praised by Outer Sect Third Elder and had the qualifications to be a core disciple, the number one genius of the new disciples?”
“If it's Ruan Xiude, he can choose many secret manuals.”
