"Where did you get this Clear Jade Formula from?" After listening to the Clear Jade Formula, Xiaoyao asked with great curiosity. If it were other cultivation thods, he might just listen casually, but with this Clear Jade Formula, he felt it necessary to understand deeply—this could help Guxing.
"Also from the Tianyuan Qi Family. They seem to have so friendship with Sun Moon Island. It's said that back then, the Qi family gave so help to Sun Moon Island people, so Sun Moon Island people passed on so cultivation thods and martial techniques to them. That's why the Qi family has their current power—originally they were just ordinary common people," Wang Yanyu said.
So it was also the Tianyuan Qi Family? This Tianyuan Qi Family seed to have quite a story.
"That's not right. If they have the Clear Jade Formula, why have we never heard of anyone practicing it?" Xiaoyao asked puzzledly. If the Tianyuan Qi Family knew this, they should naturally practice it. After so many years, it couldn't be that no one ever knew about it.
Xiaoyao had specifically searched for information about the Clear Jade Formula, but not a single piece of information was related to the Tianyuan Qi Family, and no one outside Sun Moon Island had ever used it.
"This isn't strange. The Clear Jade Formula is very difficult to practice, plus the Qi family has another cultivation thod that's much more powerful than the Clear Jade Formula. Also, the Clear Jade Formula sowhat exposes their relationship with Sun Moon Island, so they've always kept it sealed away. I only found it by chance," Wang Yanyu answered Xiaoyao's confusion.
"I see..." Xiaoyao understood. Although Sun Moon Island's dominance had made people afraid to provoke them, the problem was others would harbor resentnt. If they knew the Qi family had ties to Sun Moon Island, they might deliberately ostracize the Qi family, which would greatly limit their developnt.
...
...
The Qi family people at that ti seed to understand this point. They sealed away the Clear Jade Formula and went to practice another Sun Moon Island cultivation thod—one that no one knew belonged to Sun Moon Island. Moreover, this cultivation thod was not only easier to practice than the Clear Jade Formula but also more powerful.
The Clear Jade Formula, besides being able to maintain youth when practiced to the end, had no other benefits, so naturally it would be abandoned!
In fact, even that youth-maintaining effect only worked when practicing the final few levels. But how many people could practice to the final levels? And when they reached the final levels, would they still have their youth?
Most importantly, after reaching God Level, aging generally beca very slow, lifespan beca very long, and so might even reverse aging. That might be slightly exaggerated, but that was the general idea.
Therefore, the Clear Jade Technique's function seed sowhat redundant, making even fewer people choose it.
Redundant? Xiaoyao didn't think so. Because going from Saint Level to God Level also required many years. Also, so people spent their entire lives at Saint Level. If they could maintain their youth at Saint Level, that was also a very good effect.
Now Xiaoyao understood why the Qi family sealed away this Clear Jade Formula, but he still had one question—
"You told the Clear Jade Formula—aren't you afraid the Qi family will hold you accountable?"
After all, this was soone else's property. Telling this seems sowhat inappropriate.
"What I know belongs to . Besides, I'm just telling you—this isn't really a problem," Wang Yanyu said unconcernedly.
"Since you say so, I have no problem with it! Do you have any other higher-level cultivation thods? I've hit a bit of a bottleneck lately—tell so more," Xiaoyao asked shalessly. He hadn't hit a bottleneck; he just wanted more.
"I do have so, but so I can't tell you. You read your books!" Wang Yanyu said.
"Oh..." Xiaoyao responded without disappointnt. He hadn't held much hope anyway. But he was curious why Wang Yanyu wanted him to read books—normally she would have him listen to her talk.
Soon, Xiaoyao understood Wang Yanyu's aning...
"Diamond Dharma Formula..." Wang Yanyu suddenly began reciting a cultivation thod.
"..."
So her aning was to have him read books while she recited from mory, and he just happened to overhear—she wasn't telling him!
This woman, although she had many faults sotis, was really quite good!
Like this, Xiaoyao read books while listening to cultivation thods and martial techniques. The night passed this way with rich rewards, and this situation continued afterward.
During this period, Xiaoyao spent days reading Xuanwu family books at the library and nights reading Zhuque family books on the wall while listening to Wang Yanyu's cultivation thods and martial techniques. He absorbed knowledge all day like a sponge that could never be filled, constantly absorbing rapidly.
His reading speed was astonishing. Just the Zhuque family books alone—he finished about a hundred books in four or five days, surprising Zhuque Leiting greatly. She had thought Xiaoyao would take a month to read them, but they were returned in just four or five days, with requests for new books.
She even suspected whether Xiaoyao had really finished reading them. Four or five days—even reading constantly all day wouldn't be enough. But she didn't care. She had delivered them as promised. Whether he finished or not was his business—there would be no more later.
So Zhuque Leiting sent over the next hundred books!
If she knew Xiaoyao had really finished reading them, and only at night while also working during the day and reading Xuanwu family books, she would exclaim: "Is this still human?"
During this ti, Xiaoyao had arranged almost all his ti with no waste, which created so much extra ti for reading.
Sotis ti was squeezed out. Normally, so activities were completely unnecessary—like forgetting to prepare sothing or forgetting to take sothing, requiring another trip. Ti was wasted going back and forth. By avoiding these unnecessary activities, there was actually plenty of ti.
After about a month like this, under such high-intensity tight scheduling, Xiaoyao had finished all the Zhuque family books and simultaneously completed the Xuanwu family collection. This ant he could leave the Xuanwu family.
However, he discovered Wang Yanyu seed to have many undiscovered treasures. What he gained from Wang Yanyu seed no less than what he got from the Xuanwu and Zhuque families combined, possibly even surpassing them greatly.
Current Xiaoyao had completely enough ordinary-level materials. Now he needed to explore high-level things. Wang Yanyu had many such things, seemingly inexhaustible.
Because of this, Xiaoyao stayed to continue. During this period, he stopped going to the library and wandered elsewhere instead. He was collecting necessary materials, preparing cultivation resources for Guxing and others, plus weapon upgrade materials—including his own, of course.
During this period, he felt soone seed to be targeting him. Sotis he encountered troubles, but fortunately these troubles weren't much and were easily resolved.
Without thinking, this troublemaker should be Shang Lingjian, who now seed to not even show his face, just causing problems from behind. Perhaps having learned his lesson, he didn't dare appear anymore.
Xiaoyao didn't mind. He might not even be encountered since he ran around everywhere. No one knew where he was, and even knowing his current location didn't an knowing where he'd be next.
Xiaoyao only appeared at a fixed place at night. Now even Xuanwu Lingxiao couldn't find him. The Xuanwu family was so large that even with this young miss giving orders, they might not find him.
Recently, Xiaoyao had been using special thods to observe so things in the Xuanwu family. He knew the Xuanwu family had a secret chamber storing things ordinary people could never access, including so books—not just martial techniques and cultivation thods, but also alchemy, chanical arts, and such.
Things hidden this secretly by the Xuanwu family naturally had imaginable value. Xiaoyao urgently wanted to see these. Previously he feared being discovered—the gain wouldn't be worth the loss. Now he didn't care anyway. If discovered, so be it—at most he'd flee.
Because of this, Wang Yanyu noticed Xiaoyao coming later and later, sotis even leaving mid-conversation. Since she had previously seen Xiaoyao holding books to read, she hadn't paid attention to what books they were.
This day, Xiaoyao would make his last visit to that secret chamber, because the books inside only needed one visit to finish reading. Just as he was about to take the books...
"I've been waiting for you for a long ti!"
Xuanwu Wenyuan erged from the shadows, looking at the black-clad Xiaoyao.
"..."
Could he be this unlucky? This was the last ti—was he going to lose this opportunity?
"I really didn't expect that with so many guards outside, you could still enter. Truly worthy of being the world's number one divine thief!" Xuanwu Wenyuan looked at Xiaoyao, trying to see sothing in his eyes.
What did he an? World's number one divine thief? When did I get such an elegant title?
Xiaoyao was very confused. Being caught was understandable since he'd been discovered, but this "world's number one divine thief" was incomprehensible—this didn't seem to be referring to him.
Normally, shouldn't he say: "I don't know who you are—what's your purpose?"
Xiaoyao made no sound. It would be best if the other party mistook him for soone else. He was masked anyway—they couldn't tell who he was. Anyone doing such things would certainly wear a mask.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you speaking? Didn't you say you would steal our Xuanwu family's Xuanwu Heart Scripture at the hour of zi tonight?" Xuanwu Wenyuan said coldly with so disdain.
The Xuanwu Heart Scripture was the Xuanwu family's family treasure, recording the Xuanwu family's internal cultivation thods and so unique martial techniques. Xiaoyao had already seen this when he ca here—it was of utmost importance.
