Only My Way

Three days later.

The so-called final assessment was, as Ling Wuyuan and everyone else in the class had expected, easily passed by him.

Things happened very naturally. All the teachers and students felt that Ling Wuyuan should easily pass the assessment. Even if he achieved the first place, no one felt that there was anything surprising about it. At most, they just thought that he performed well in this assessment.

A matter of course.

That's how the situation could be described.

Next, as Ling Wuyuan had anticipated.

He and the other successful candidates once again saw Feng Shuyun, the elder of the White Crow Gang, who managed the training ground.

Although it had been a while since they last met, Ling Wuyuan didn't sense any aging in him, as if only a month or two had passed.

"Very good, you newcomers haven't wasted the White Crow Gang's efforts in nurturing you. You have successfully passed the most basic knowledge assessment. Next, you will go to the Scripture Depository to freely choose a low-grade cultivation method."

"Of course, as a reward for the outstanding, according to the gang's rules, those of you who rank in the top three can also choose an additional low-grade martial skill and an ordinary weapon."

For a time.

Everyone, while delighted, looked at Ling Wuyuan and the other two with slight envy.

If cultivation methods are the means to strengthen the body, then low-grade martial skills are the means for fighting and combat. Generally speaking, one is only qualified to learn them after one's strength has reached a certain level.

As for choosing an ordinary weapon, it is also a very good reward, allowing everyone to save some money.

However, although they were envious, everyone also understood that this was the reward that the three deserved.

Scripture Depository.

Unlike the Scripture Pavilion, which anyone could enter.

This place is located directly behind the Scripture Pavilion, specifically at a location on White Crow Mountain close to the summit. It is a crucial area for the entire gang. At all times, there are hundreds of gang members holding various weapons and at least three elders specifically responsible for patrolling and guarding it.

Once any problem occurs, basically all of the gang's main force will arrive here as quickly as possible.

Therefore, to truly break into this place, one would basically have to fight through the entire White Crow Gang.

Normally.

Only members who are trying to exchange merit points for secret manuals will come here.

As for a large group of people coming together, that would only happen when the newcomers are choosing their basic secret manuals.

At this moment.

Under the leadership of Elder Feng, Ling Wuyuan and the others smoothly arrived at this area, which they usually had no right to come to.

According to his estimation, he felt that the height of the Scripture Depository was about thirty meters, divided into four floors, which was not considered high overall.

However, the outer structure of the entire depository was filled with various metal frames and stone materials, with basically no wood.

And the whole building had few windows.

Even those windows that were used to provide basic ventilation and basic lighting were all small and filled with iron bars.

This meant that this building definitely possessed extraordinary defensive and fireproof effects, like a fortress.

Even if someone deliberately set a fire, it probably wouldn't burn at all.

To destroy this place, basically the only option was to attack it head-on.

This fully demonstrated how much the entire White Crow Gang valued this place.

As soon as he walked in.

Ling Wuyuan could immediately feel that the overall atmosphere of the entire Scripture Depository was filled with a sense of gloom.

Because there were too few windows, even if bonfires and candles were lit inside all day, the actual environment inside was still inevitably somewhat gloomy, constantly giving people a sense of inexplicable oppression and loneliness.

Then, Ling Wuyuan saw a group of people bowing to Feng Shuyun. The middle-aged woman at the head even enthusiastically greeted him:

"Welcome, Elder Feng!"

"These people are the newcomers this time, right?"

"You can leave them to us to handle."

"Elder Zhao is drinking tea on the second floor. You can go and play chess with him…"

Feng Shuyun naturally didn't refuse this arrangement.

There was nothing to see in the newcomers choosing their cultivation methods, it was more interesting to drink tea and play chess with old friends.

"Okay."

"Then I'll leave these newcomers to you. I'll come down later."

After saying that, he turned to Ling Wuyuan and the others and said, "Did you all hear that?"

"Follow Supervisor Li, she will help you handle things."

After speaking.

He directly walked towards the second floor under the guidance of two attendants.

After his figure completely disappeared around the corner of the staircase, the middle-aged woman who was called Supervisor Li slowly put away the smile on her face, and with a face as stern as an abbess, she said:

"Let's go."

"Next, you will have two hours to choose your entry-level cultivation method."

"Although these are all very basic things, the entry-level cultivation method you choose will still largely determine your general path in life, so you'd better choose carefully…"

Although there wasn't much expression on her face, Supervisor Li still dutifully gave various basic explanations to the newcomers behind her.

Soon, the group arrived at a room, and then they saw Supervisor Li taking out booklets of catalogs and distributing them to them.

"Here, choose carefully."

"After you've chosen, someone will take out a rubbing of the secret manual for you."

"You can only read those rubbings yourself, and you can't circulate them privately. Once you are discovered circulating them privately or even spreading them to the outside world, you will have your hands and feet broken at best, and your family will be implicated at worst."

Without paying attention to the other party's warning, Ling Wuyuan immediately began to carefully look through the cultivation method catalog in his hand.

[Savage Bull Strength], [Bone Strengthening Body Refining Method], [Tiger Bone Strengthening Body Skill]…

As his gaze swept over the cultivation methods, Ling Wuyuan discovered that although it was said that newcomers could only choose low-grade cultivation methods, in reality, everyone could actually choose middle-grade cultivation methods as well.

It was just that if you chose a middle-grade cultivation method, you wouldn't be able to get the complete secret manual, only a portion of it.

Moreover, middle-grade cultivation methods often required the use of some relatively precious materials to assist in cultivation.

For example, that middle-grade cultivation method called [Tiger Bone Strengthening Body Skill] clearly stated in the introduction that if a cultivator wanted to complete this cultivation method, they would need to consume at least several fierce tigers' bones and flesh all over their bodies.

Even if they just wanted to get started, they would need to use freshly extracted tiger blood and a large number of precious medicinal herbs as a medicinal primer.

This basic condition directly made Ling Wuyuan immediately say that he was too poor to afford it.

Compared to this kind of cultivation method that he couldn't afford even if he sold everything he had.

He needed a cultivation method that was more accessible to ordinary people.

For example, that [Savage Bull Strength], which sounded very common.

As a middle-grade cultivation method, its entry conditions were only ox bones, ox hides, and some not-so-precious medicinal herbs.

Of course, if you wanted to cultivate it to perfection, according to the commentary, you would need at least hundreds of savage bulls' bones and hides, and the difficulty of cultivation was far higher than [Tiger Bone Strengthening Body Skill], which was also a middle-grade cultivation method but a cultivation path for the wealthy.

[Savage Bull Strength] = Ordinary people can get started, but the difficulty of cultivation is high, and the actual final cost of cultivating to perfection is not much lower than [Tiger Bone Strengthening Body Skill]. Moreover, the actual effect after completion may be slightly inferior to [Tiger Bone Strengthening Body Skill]. It is the ideal choice for ordinary people who do not accept fate.

[Tiger Bone Strengthening Body Skill] = Only those with money are qualified to get started, and the difficulty of cultivation is relatively ordinary. Then, after completion, the actual effect is very good among the same level of cultivation methods. The biggest disadvantage is that if you don't have money at home, you can't even get in the door. It is the ideal choice for the wealthy.

In short, depending on the actual wealth of the practitioner, both have their own advantages.

Comprehensive evaluation.

Poor scholars, rich warriors.

You can't practice anything if you don't have money.
