Chapter 418: Chapter 235 The Wonderful Use of the Power of Incense in the Five-story Pagoda_2
[Use this skill to transform a portion of your alien form relevant to the layers of your "Fallen Dragon Seed" into human appearance.]
[This skill can only be learned with the body of a demon.]
"It’s a good skill, but its quality is a bit low."
Lin Xun shook his head, not eager to learn the skill immediately.
He put away the skill book and headed towards the second floor of the tower.
[You ascend the wooden staircase to the second floor of the tower...]
[The second floor of the tower, named ’Heavenly Dragon Floor,’ is no different than the first, still filled with countless books, just slightly smaller.]
[Would you like to search here?]
"Could it be that the upper floors of the tower are all like this?"
Whilst feeling uncertain, Lin Xun began to search.
After finishing his search on the second floor, he climbed up to the third, which turned out to be the same.
After scouring the first two floors, he only found a few bookmarks and calligraphy and paintings that could be sold for money.
Additionally, he found a damage output skill by the name of ’Demon Art · Demon Fire Red Lotus’.
This skill, similar to the Art of Transformation, was of a very low quality. The only praiseworthy aspect was that it could enjoy the attribute bonuses of the ’Fallen Dragon Seed’.
[...]
[You ascend the wooden stairs and arrive at the fourth floor of the tower...]
[The fourth floor, known as the ’Real Dragon Treasure Floor,’ is identical to the first floor, still filled with innumerable books.]
[However, there is an old man sitting in the center, focused on reading, dressed in a black robe and holding a sutra.]
[The monocle on his face is strikingly noticeable.]
[Upon seeing someone approach, the ’Librarian’ sets aside the sutra, his face filled with a benevolent smile.]
[He magically produces another cushion, places it beside him, and gestures for you to sit and chat with him.]
"Hmm...how strange."
The abnormal thing for Lin Xun wasn’t encountering the ’Librarian’, but that the Librarian didn’t even present an ’Invasion Bookmark’ to him.
Per usual, receiving an Invasion Bookmark would soon result in other Apostles dropping by to cause trouble.
The previous two encounters with the Librarian inside the Chapter were like this.
[The ’Librarian’ seemed to understand your confusion, and gently explained that he doesn’t have that much free time. For an Apostle who has already improved his invasion privilege, there’s no need to use basic invasion battles as a test.]
[You gently walk over to his side and sit down next to him.]
[The ’Librarian’ hands over the sutra he had been reading and ...]
[You take it, discovering it to be a sutra named ’Dragon’s Universal Salvation Scripture.’ The scripture praises the great accomplishments of the ’Chaos Origin Dragon’s’ offspring in saving the world.]
[The old man chuckles and asks, interesting, isn’t it?]
[Without waiting for your answer, he continues to say, each Doomsday world has different sceneries, and the cause of Doomsday varies amongst the different worlds, but when it comes to praising gods, all the worlds can unify and agree.]
[Ignorance is truly cruel yet pitiful...]
[The ’Librarian’ gently adjusts his monocle, his smile becomes more benevolent, and he asks, are you, an Apostle seeking the truth about Doomsday, willing to accept the Librarian’s special test?]
[If you succeed in the test, you can not only increase your invasion privilege once again, but can also obtain a very rare bookmark.]
A very rare bookmark?
Lin Xun immediately thought of the ’Sacred Object Bookmark’ from last time.
He used that bookmark to defeat another candidate for the 12th Apostle, and even took away a Sacred Object.
[You nodded, readily accepting the test.]
[The ’Librarian’s’ smile increases in kindness. He slowly stands up and informs you that tomorrow night, he will be waiting for you in a classroom behind the five-story tower. As long as you are prepared, you can visit him there.]
[The old man murmurs a complex spell, and his figure disappears...]
"I wonder what kind of test it is? I hope it’s not a blunder like the last time with the ’Cage of Impounding Stars’."
He searched the fourth floor of the tower, seeing no rewards he continued upwards.
[At the entrance to the fifth floor’s staircase, a waist-high fence has been set up with a warning sign: The fifth floor is still under repair, temporarily closed to visitors. Do not enter, violators will be severely punished!]
[You disregard the warning, promptly climb over the railing, ascend the wooden stairs, and arrive at the fifth floor of the tower.]
[The fifth floor of the tower is named ’Treasure Floor,’ and it is completely empty, without a single book in sight.]
[There is only a huge page of a book floating in mid-air, glowing faintly.]
[You find a fragment of the Book of Salvation - the ’Rest Page’!]
"...This respawn point was really well hidden."
Lin Xun stepped forward to touch the page, setting this place as his revival point.
He wasn’t worried about being trapped in the Dharma Temple by the ’Guardian of the Ten Directions’ Absolute Realm’ after revival, because the page had a teleportation function, and in the worst case scenario, he could teleport back to the Dragon Pond Temple.
Using the restorative function of the Rest Page, he could restore the club president to a vigorous state, ensuring that she wouldn’t be weak or powerless in the fight with the female servant the next night.
He opened his item bar and clicked on the ’Rainbow Scale of the Mirage Dragon’.
[Do you want to use the ’Rainbow Scale of the Mirage Dragon’?]
[Using this item will consume one usage, estimated meditation time: Six hours]
"That long!"
Lin Xun had planned to explore the ’Dharma Temple’ tonight and then go to the ’Wuzhi Shrine’ for exploration.
If he meditates here, by the time he finishes, he could just go back to the Yiye Palace and do morning exercises with the two female servants.
For a moment, he was torn.
Should he meditate first or explore first?
After hesitating for a long time, he suddenly remembered something and decided to click on the Rest Page and used the teleportation function to return to the ’Dragon Pond Temple’.
[Teleporting...]
[...]
[Teleportation Successful!]
[A powerful Wandering Soul awakens in the temple guesthouse...]
[You are possessing the Shell of ’the Knowledge Seeking Primordial Hermit’!]
[You push open the door of the guesthouse and come into the courtyard...]
[It is now midnight, and the little demons of the Meditation Group have already completed their daily practice and retired to their rooms.]
[You look towards the living quarters on one side of the courtyard; only two rooms still have lit candles.]
[One is the residence of ’the Bull Demon of Dignity’, the other is the dwelling of ’the Monk Haizai’.]
[Where do you want to go?]
[You move towards the residence of ’the Bull Demon of Dignity’ and knock at the old wooden door.]
[The wooden door opens quickly, the Time-Traced Bull Demon with his upper body bare comes out to you.]
[Seeing the great deity’s visit, his bovine eyes light up, he salutes you, and asks if the great deity has come to learn demon techniques.]
[You slowly nod.]
[Learning the news, the ’Bull Demon of Dignity’ is ecstatic, and promptly drags you into the room.]
[The dwelling is modestly furnished, apart from a bed and table, a wooden box and a weapon stand are placed against the wall.]
[The ’Bull Demon of Dignity’ selects a few antiquated scrolls from the box and sprawls them across the table.]
[The scrolls are paintings, depicting a variety of demons using their techniques.]
[He introduces each one, saying that these demon techniques are all specially selected, and while they don’t have earth-shaking powers, they each have their unique uses.]
[’Demon Technique·Technique of Qi Observation’（Rare+ Class), required Power of Faith for learning: 1000]
[’Demon Technique·Art of Transformation’（Rare+ Class), required Power of Faith for learning: 500]
[’Demon Technique·Turning Stone into Gold’（Rare+ Class), required Power of Faith for learning: 800]
[’Demon Technique·Message Transmission Technique’ （Rare+ Class), required Power of Faith for learning: 400]
[’Demon Technique·Dotting the Dragon’s Eye’（Rare+ Class), required Power of Faith for learning: 700]
[You have offered three ’Top Quality Purple-Red Incense’, current Power of Faith: 1500]
Lin Xun slapped his thigh regretfully.
"Damn, why did I only burn three incenses for the ’Chaos Origin Dragon’ at the time?"
"If I had used all ten, wouldn’t I have 5000 Power of Faith now?"
Even though he had not seen the specific effects of the skills, and the quality of the skills was not very high, but just looking at the names of these demon techniques, he knew that the usefulness of the skills was extraordinary - like the Technique of Qi Observation and Turning Stone into Gold.
It occurred to Lin Xun that if ’Bull Demon of Dignity’ had skills to learn, what could be done at ’Monk Haizai’s’ place, which still had one light on.
He speculated that the Power of Faith could not only be used here, but also at ’Monk Haizai’s’ place.
"Is it too late to light incense for the ’Chaos Origin Dragon’ now..."
Lin Xun was somewhat in tears.
