Su Bai's goal was clear.
First, she already had Cultivation Techniques that went straight to the Nascent Soul Stage, so she didn't need the ones here.
Naturally, she would directly look for Spells and some secret techniques.
Or Cultivation insights.
Of course, if there were Formation Legacy or Talisman Legacy, she would definitely take them as well.
She just didn't know how many contribution points they would require.
Currently, Su Bai's Formation achievements were still based on her own Divine Sense, deducing a second-tier Formation from Xu Changge's Formation.
She could barely be called a second-tier Formation Master.
But compared to Xu Changge, a true second-tier Formation Master, she was definitely inferior.
Even far from it.
After browsing through the third and fourth floors, Su Bai was a bit disappointed.
"As expected, I was overthinking it."
There was no Formation Legacy or Talisman Legacy here.
Only Cultivation Techniques and Spells.
"Never mind, I'll just pick a few Cultivation Techniques and leave."
Although there wasn't anything she wanted.
However, this place was indeed worthy of being a large Sect's collection of Cultivation Techniques.
All types were available.
After Su Bai considered for a moment.
Ultimately, she chose three Spells and one Cultivation Technique.
The first was a sound wave Cultivation Technique.
Named "Soul Shattering Song," it focused spiritual power in the throat to emit sound wave attacks with extremely strong penetrative power, capable of simultaneously deterring an enemy's Divine Sense.
Its power was considerable.
Upon Major Achievement, one could completely shatter Spells with sound alone.
The second was a Sword Technique.
Named "Floating Cloud Shadowing Step! Sword."
Although Su Bai already had a Sword Cultivator Cultivation Technique.
She still chose this Sword Technique.
Because this Sword Technique primarily enhanced movement, and it also had a specialized Sword Escape Technique, Floating Cloud Shadowing Step!.
After performing this Spell, one could use spiritual power to conjure Clones for attack, up to five.
Even when unable to win a fight.
One could also use Clones to cover one's escape with an Escape Technique.
That's right, Su Bai didn't care about the power of this Sword Technique; she was only interested in its Escape Technique.
Imagine, if she encountered an opponent she couldn't defeat.
She could directly use a blood-burning secret technique to forcibly increase her cultivation, then combine the Blood Escape Technique with Floating Cloud Shadowing Step!.
Most Cultivators probably wouldn't even be able to touch Su Bai's shadow.
Once she reached a safe, uninhabited place, she would then Transmigrate to another world.
Simply perfect.
The third Spell was a Qi-observing technique.
Named "Purple Qi Vision Technique."
Su Bai had previously Cultivated a spiritual eye technique for observing aura and distinguishing items.
But that Spell was already somewhat unable to keep up with Su Bai's strength; sometimes, it wasn't even as useful as Divine Sense.
That's why she chose this Spell.
Of course, this "Purple Qi Vision Technique" was not only used to replace the spiritual eye technique but also had the ability to discern hidden things.
It could help Su Bai perfect Formations, making the Formation cores better hidden.
The last one was an auxiliary Cultivation Technique named "Breath Regulation Method," used to adjust one's own spiritual power.
It was a Cultivation Technique specifically for refining the spiritual power Foundation.
Su Bai had Cultivated the "Jade Liquid Storing Qi Inscription" during the Qi Refinement Stage, making her spiritual power Foundation incredibly solid and thick, 30% stronger than that of ordinary Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators.
This allowed Su Bai to have a stronger burst in combat than typical Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators, not to mention her endurance.
Now, the "Jade Liquid Storing Qi Inscription" was still effective.
But Su Bai had thought about continuing to perfect it.
She had also experimented with martial Dao qi and blood Cultivation Techniques.
Unfortunately, she never succeeded.
Now that she had obtained another Cultivation Technique for refining the Foundation, she naturally wanted to learn and try it.
To learn from each other and see if there could be new discoveries.
Because her Spiritual Root itself was not good.
Therefore, Su Bai placed particular importance on her Foundation.
She believed that even if her Aptitude was slightly insufficient, as long as her Foundation was deep, her future Cultivation path would be much smoother.
As for ordinary Cultivators.
They had already wasted a lot of time Cultivating.
Cultivating such auxiliary Cultivation Techniques meant they thought their Lifespan was too long.
The deeper the Foundation, the stronger the spiritual power, and the slower the Cultivation.
They couldn't afford to wait.
They had to use their limited time to Cultivate, to explore Secret Realms and seek Opportunities.
As for refining the Foundation, that was something only the favored ones of heaven might do.
Because they Break through too quickly, in order to strengthen their combat at higher Realms later, they would choose to refine their spiritual power.
Su Bai didn't care about time.
So she was willing to Cultivate.
After Su Bai had chosen her Cultivation Techniques and Spells.
She went to the first floor and stood before the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation Technique Pavilion steward.
"Senior, I have made my choices."
"Three Spells:'Soul Shattering Song,' 'Floating Cloud Shadowing Step! Sword,' 'Purple Qi Vision Technique,' and one Cultivation Technique: 'Breath Regulation Method.'"
Upon hearing Su Bai's words, the other party put down the book he was reading.
Then he looked up and asked:
"Your name."
"I am Su Bai."
The other party wrote down Su Bai's name, and then what Su Bai had exchanged with her contribution points.
Finally, he brought out a box and took out four Jade Slips.
After handing the Jade Slips to Su Bai, he said:
"These are single-use Jade Slips. Once you memorize the content with your Divine Sense, the Jade Slips will be destroyed."
"Yes, I remember."
"You used a total of one hundred and forty contribution points this time, eighty points remaining."
The three Spells were thirty contribution points each, and the Cultivation Technique was fifty points.
The Cultivation Technique Pavilion steward swiped Su Bai's contribution token, erasing the two hundred and twenty contribution points on it and replacing them with eighty contribution points.
After receiving the Jade Slips and the contribution token.
Su Bai thought for a moment; she still wanted to use the remaining contribution points, so she spoke up:
"Senior, can the remaining contribution points be exchanged for some Spirit Medicine or Materials?"
"Yes, but you need to go to the Contribution Hall, inform them of this, and then wait for the people from the Contribution Hall to bring the Materials or Spirit Medicine you need."
"Thank you, Senior, I'll take my leave."
After clarifying that the remaining contribution points could be used elsewhere, Su Bai left the Cultivation Technique Pavilion.
However, before Su Bai completely left.
She saw that the Cultivation Technique Pavilion steward did not turn back to pick up his book and continue reading.
Instead, he took out four new Jade Slips and began forming hand seals, seemingly recording something.
Seeing this, Su Bai guessed that those might be the three Spells and one Cultivation Technique she had taken.
The other party was making replacements.
If that was the case.
Didn't the other party remember all the Cultivation Techniques and Spells in this Cultivation Technique Pavilion!
Thinking of this, Su Bai's heart couldn't help but beat faster.
This was definitely a hidden Senior!
Although the other party was still at the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, he was definitely not far from the Core Formation Realm!
With these thoughts, Su Bai's steps quickened a bit.
She quickly returned to the Contribution Hall.
She saw the white-bearded old man she had first met.
She handed over her contribution token.
And directly stated her request.
"For the remaining contribution points, I'd like to exchange them for some Materials and Spirit Medicine, or even Spirit Medicine seeds would be fine."
The old man looked at the number on the contribution token, knowing that Su Bai had used quite a bit.
However, he didn't ask anything; it was her private matter.
He directly took out a booklet and opened it in front of Su Bai.
"First-tier Spirit Medicine, second-tier Spirit Medicine, Spirit Medicine seeds, first-tier Materials, second-tier Materials, the contribution points are all clearly marked."
"Choose for yourself."
Directly skipping the first-tier Spirit Medicine and Materials, Su Bai opened the page with the second-tier Spirit Medicine.
Then a large 'thirty contribution points' caught her eye.
Making her gasp in cold air!
