CHAPTER 535: CHAPTER 319: IS THIS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE?

On the bamboo tube, several symbols were engraved that appeared somewhat distorted.

Or rather, they looked like some eerie patterns.

The playful smile vanished from his face, replaced by a frozen disbelief. At first, he even questioned whether his eyes were playing tricks on him, wondering if he was still dreaming and hadn’t awakened.

Reality and illusion intertwined; in a daze, he seemed to return to the miserable yet memorable school days, those decades-old memories from his past life and present life.

Anyone who’s ever spent time confined in a classroom or listened to lectures seriously would be able to recognize those crooked characters on the bamboo tube.

"Am I having a relapse from being overworked recently?"

Staring intently at the bamboo tube in his hands, motionless.

"Brother, what’s wrong with you?"

The little princess beside him approached actively.

There were many people in the Library Pavilion, as the resident population within the entire Purple Cloud Palace numbered several thousand, similar to an ordinary university. The Library Pavilion was like the library; despite the distinction in permission levels, it was still bustling.

Various cultivation techniques and mental methods were arranged all over the place. Many people turned their attention to Jiang Feng; three years was enough for the entire sect to know this true Sword Immortal, especially with recent events making him known throughout the sect.

When the sect disciples saw Mr. Jiang, besides jealousy and envy, there was a mix of admiration they couldn’t conceal. Despite his usual unserious demeanor, constantly wandering around with women, the guy indeed had some skills.

However, upon seeing Liang Yu, they would actively approach and even exchange a few polite words.

This group of disciples weren’t foolish; they heard that Swordmaster Peak had recently accepted a new disciple with extraordinary talent. Many could discern her realm with just a glance.

Considering her age, identity, and talent, and the fact that she’s constantly following Jiang Feng around, it’s obvious she’s the new disciple at Swordmaster Peak. Establishing a good relationship early wouldn’t hurt.

"Brother! Brother?"

Nearby people dispersed, yet the man still stood unmoving. After the young girl called out a few times, her expression changed abruptly. Defying her ladylike demeanor, she directly reached out.

She pulled forcefully!

Boom—

The body collided directly against the bookshelf behind.

Only then did the man’s eyes regain clarity, even the cultivation technique in his hand wasn’t stable, and the other bamboo tube fell to the ground.

"Damn..."

Muttering a curse under his breath.

Usually, Mr. Jiang would maintain a gentlemanly demeanor in front of women, but he truly couldn’t hold it now. Glancing at the bamboo tube on the ground with lingering fear, as it crashed, it scattered as bamboo scrolls.

Even though he was mentally prepared, the all-too-familiar writing caused his heart to skip a beat. Trembling, he reached out to roll up the scattered bamboo scrolls on the ground.

"Thanks, sister. This time I owe you a favor."

Taking a deep breath.

The agitated mood gradually calmed, and the disrupted spiritual energy within his body started returning to its path, which is why he expressed gratitude.

When he saw the bamboo tube, he was momentarily stunned, soulless, even his spiritual energy stopped flowing and even reversed. Now Jiang Feng’s spiritual energy would operate even during eating and sleeping, the incident nearly led him directly into an inner fire deviation.

If it weren’t for Princess Liang’s quick response in forcibly interrupting, he might have already spewed blood.

"We’re all comrades, no need to be so polite. I’m just glad you’re alright, but what happened earlier?"

Proactively took the Purple Cloud Divine Technique from Jiang Feng’s hands.

Originally, she held significant anticipation for the Purple Cloud Palace’s exclusive technique, but seeing Jiang Feng on the brink of an inner fire deviation, her enthusiasm was somewhat dampened. Naturally, she was more concerned about her brother.

Both shared similar personalities and were peers, and they’d even sparred before, now belonging to the same mountain gate, thus naturally becoming closer.

"I saw something unexpected, my mind was a bit unstable."

Smiled helplessly.

But this statement made Liang Yu’s expression a bit peculiar.

She personally had sparred with Jiang Feng, aware he went head-to-head with disciples from Xuanyin Sect and Joyful Sect, despite the short time they’ve known each other, she could tell how resolute Jiang Feng’s mind was.

Especially his mindset, provoking Xuanyin Sect in Country Liang and even killing a nephew right in front of their elder, such actions most wouldn’t even dare to think about.

So her gaze landed on the bamboo tube Jiang Feng had picked up again with his left hand.

"Why, are you interested too?"

Casually handed it over.

Side by side, they walked toward the door, the incident just a minor interlude, and Jiang Feng’s mindset began to slowly return to normal after the initial shock.

He was candid about these items; the Purple Cloud Divine Technique was typically housed on the third floor, meaning that once inside the inner gate, one can obtain a full scroll for viewing and studying, if intending to learn the strengths from different mountain gates based on the Purple Cloud Divine Technique.

Take Ying Ling for example, who didn’t just learn the Yin-Yang Joyful Technique, but chose the shadow and moon branch routes within the technique. Various sects, particularly great sects, applied such a dual-insurance mechanism for handling cultivation techniques.

A preliminary study of the technique is necessary within the sect, before being taught the specific routes by the master upon joining the mountain gate.
