Seeking the Immortal Way

The Scripture Pavilion was located at the southwest corner of Sky Cloud Martial Sect's Plaza. Around him was a purple bamboo forest and a tall octagonal pagoda was erected inside it. It looked simple and elegant, yet it did not lose its dignity.

Lin Yan arrived near the Scripture Pavilion and looked up. The Scripture Pavilion was an eight-sided nine-floor pagoda, and each floor had eight windows. On each corner of the pagoda, there was a bronze bell placed.

The door to the first floor was very tall, with a vermillion door open to the left and right. Above the board was a humming plaque with three large golden words written in a flamboyant manner, 'Scripture Pavilion'.

Lin Yan took out his order badge and walked in.

After entering the door, there was a huge screen in front of them. The screen was filled with records of the history and history of the Scripture Pavilion.

On the left was a stone tablet, which recorded some rules of the Scripture Pavilion. Basically, Qi Condensation disciples were not allowed to enter, only Foundation Establishment disciples could enter the first to third level, Ethereal Opening Realm disciples could go to the sixth level, Condensing Reality Realm disciples could reach the eighth, and only Spirit Sea Realm disciples could reach the ninth level.

To the right of the door sat a white-haired elder. He usually closed his eyes to rest and looked very quiet. Usually, he would only open his eyes to take a look when there was someone new.

Lin Yan came to the door and the white-haired elder opened his eyes. He glanced at Lin Yan and spat out two words: "Token."

After bowing to the white haired elder, Lin Yan revealed the order badge in his hand.

The white-haired elder nodded slightly and said to Lin Yan: "Go in, remember to follow the rules."

With that, the white-haired elder closed his eyes once again, ignoring Lin Yan.

Lin Yan cupped his hands towards him again, kept the order badge and turned to enter the Scripture Pavilion.

Arriving at this place, Lin Yan could not help but be surprised, the bookshelves here were densely packed, there were cultivation techniques, swordsmanship s, blade techniques, spear techniques, as well as various local records on the continent, alchemy related books and so on.

Lin Yan felt a little dazzled, and casually flipped through the few books on the bookshelf, almost all of them were footwork and fist techniques suitable for Foundation Establishment stage cultivation, which did not help him at all.

With so many books, even if Lin Yan searched the entire day, he would still not be able to finish reading them.

After secretly operating the Purple Void Pupil Skill, for a moment, Lin Yan was able to see through all the books. He quickly skimmed through the contents of the title page.

In the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Lin Yan had already used the Purple Void Pupil Skill to look through every single book's title page, but he did not find anything related to runes, so he simply did not waste time, and directly went to the second floor.

The layout of the second floor was about the same as the first floor. There were rows upon rows of bookshelves, and the content was also about the same. However, there were a lot of books on alchemy and spirit medicine.

Lin Yan activated his Purple Void Pupil Skill once again, and started searching from the bookshelf, but he still could not find it.

After arriving at the third floor, there was a slight change in the layout. The bookshelves were placed close to the eight walls, and only a small gap could be seen through the window. The other walls were filled with books.

Lin Yan took a quick look around and discovered that most of the books here were related to formations, and among them, there were some records that had to do with runes.

Lin Yan skimmed through the book once more as he recalled the runes and patterns on the black box. Finally, he found some similar runes in a book called "Divine Arcane Formation".

Lin Yan's heart was overjoyed. He hastily went forward and took down the book. He carefully read it and searched for clues.

For example, when forging a weapon, the edge of the weapon or the location of the sword hilt would be added into the formation, allowing the sword to carry Sword Qi, thus saving a lot of effort in using the sword. There were also some arrays that were placed on the box, the purpose of which was to not allow others to open it, and to protect the things inside.

Lin Yan filtered out some useless information and started to wholeheartedly search for the runes recorded on the black box.

Time passed minute after minute, and in less than an hour, Lin Yan flipped through the thick book. Finally, on the last page, he saw an array formation, and the runes on it were extremely similar to the one on the black box, almost exactly the same.

Lin Yan anxiously took out the black box in his hand, compared to the runes on the book, it was almost exactly the same, which meant, as long as the runes were arranged according to the order recorded in the book, it was possible to open the box.

After carefully studying the pictures in the book and the contents written on the side, Lin Yan closed the book, turned around and walked out of the Scripture Pavilion with the black box.

Lin Yan quickly returned to his room and placed the black box on the table. He activated the Purple Void Pupil Skill and carefully examined it, noticing that the black mist seemed to be flowing and the position of the runes were also constantly changing.

Lin Yan thought for a while, then slowly injected the genuine essence into the array, trying to rearrange the complex runes, but the runes were too messy, he needed to find all of them, and then arrange them.

However, if one wanted to find all of these symbols, the amount of work required was not small. The symbols on the surface were extremely dense, making people unable to make heads or tails of it.

Lin Yan waited patiently. After much difficulty, he found the right rune, arranged them all, and then went to find the other one. However, just as the second rune was halfway through, the first rune, that had already been arranged, broke and scattered to the side.

Helpless, Lin Yan could only find a rough outline of the runes. When it came to the last step, Lin Yan was not in a hurry to let them take shape, but continued to find the next runes and arrange them.

Lin Yan carefully arranged the runes together, and at the same time, put down the last rune.

Immediately, the black box let out a muffled bang, and the surrounding black barrier spread out, revealing what was inside.

Although Lin Yan was mentally exhausted, the moment he saw it was a success, he immediately became spirited and anxiously looked towards the box.

It was a silver palm-sized box. The back was as smooth as a mirror. There were four small characters carved on it like dancing dragons and flying phoenixes. It was the Flying Light Sword Box.

Lin Yan was holding onto the Flying Light Sword Box and playing with it. He had a satisfied smile on his face and his heart was filled with a sense of satisfaction.

Circulating the Purple Void Pupil Skill and looking at it carefully, Lin Yan discovered that the spirit pressure on the Flying Light Sword Box seemed to be even stronger than the one on his body, which was the Gold Silky Soft Armor of the talisman treasure.
