Chapter 209: Sect Library
"No, we were already awake," Su Bingxin replied, returning the smile.
"So, are you both ready? As promised, I will give you a tour of the sect," Yin Yun said eagerly.
Su Bingxin and Chen Tian nodded.
"Okay, let\'s get going!" Yin Yun exclaimed, leading them toward the Outer area of the sect.
"Since both of you are new here, I will start by showing you the outer part of the sect," Yin Yun explained as they walked.
"This is the living space where the outer disciples reside, which is where most of the daily activities take place." Su Bingxin and Chen Tian looked around as many small houses came into view.
They could see disciples going about their daily routines, some practicing martial arts while others engaged in conversations or chores.
The atmosphere was bustling with energy.
Yin Yun continued, "Each disciple is assigned a living quarter based on their level and seniority within the sect.
"Every disciple gets an identification token when they first join the sect," Yin Yun explained.
"This token not only serves as a form of identification but also grants access to the specific living quarters designated for each disciple. This ensures that everyone is properly settled and accommodated within their respective levels."
Yin Yun explained how the sword on the token represents a disciple\'s identity in the sect; she also showed her identification token to Chen Tian and Su Bingxin.
Her token had one sword engraved on it, but its color was purple, clearly indicating her status as a Core disciple.
She continued strolling around, proudly displaying every place she knew in the sect.
As she walked, she pointed out a different building that had the words "Sect Library" written on it.
The building was a four-story structure, towering over the other buildings in the sect.
Yin Yun explained that the library was an essential part of the sect, housing countless skills and knowledge for disciples to study and improve their skills.
She also explained that each level of the building held different skills for the disciples to study and learn from.
The first floor has skills that are suitable for Body Refinement to Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
The second floor has techniques that are more suitable for Core Formation Realm and Nascent Soul cultivators. The third floor contains advanced techniques and knowledge for Soul Formation and Dao Lord cultivators.
As for the last floor, only specific individuals are granted access, as it holds the most profound and powerful techniques for the Immortal Sword Sect, as well as techniques for Dao King and even Dao Ancestor Realm cultivators.
It also costs points to buy these techniques, with the cost increasing exponentially with each floor.
The higher the technique, the more valuable and rare the techniques become, as they are the treasures of the sect.
"Come, let\'s enter. I will show you inside," Yin Yun said as she led the way toward the entrance of the building.
Intrigued, Chen Tian and Su Bingxin followed Yin Yun inside; it was also a good idea. Chen Tian also needed some new techniques to enhance his cultivation.
As they stepped inside, they were greeted by a vast hall filled with shelves, each holding ancient scrolls and books.
The air was heavy with the scent of ink and the energy emanating from the techniques.
In the middle of the hall sat an old man, hunched over a desk, his eyes closed as if deep in meditation.
Chen Tian\'s eyes turned serious as he realized that this old man was not simple.
With only his experience, Chen Tian could sense the immense power radiating from the old man.
He didn\'t use Chaos Insight, as it would make the old man aware that he was looking at him.
\'I really need to improve my cultivation level,\' Chen Tian thought to himself.
\'If his cultivation was at the Soul Formation or Nascent Soul, Chen Tian wouldn\'t worry even if he used Chaos Insight on a Dao Fusion Cultivator, but now he was cautious.
"Hey there, Uncle Tao," Yin Yun called out to the old man, using a respectful title.
The old man opened his eyes and looked directly at Yin Yun. His gaze was piercing, as if he could see through everyone\'s soul.
Su Bingxin felt a shiver run down her spine, but she maintained her composure.
As for Chen Tian, he had a sense of unease and couldn\'t help but feel a bead of sweat forming on his forehead.
From the old man\'s gaze, Chen Tian could feel many things.
\'This old man is stronger than Xu Zhiyuan!\' Chen Tian thought to himself. His heart raced with the thought.
"Hm... little girl, what are you doing here?" Elder Tao spoke.
"Hehehe, Uncle Tao, I came here to lead my new friends on a tour of the sect," Yin Yun replied with a smile.
Elder Tao looked at her for a moment, then his gaze landed on Chen Tian and Su Bingxin, his gaze piercing through both of them.
"Greeting Elder." Both Chen Tian and Su Bingxin bowed respectfully and greeted the elder in front of them.
"Oh!" exclaimed Elder Tao, his surprise evident on his face. He was surprised by Su Bingxin\'s potential, which was uncommon in the sect, but when his gaze landed on Chen Tian, he was more shocked.
Not because Chen Tian\'s talent was extraordinary, but because he couldn\'t see through this kid.
\'Interesting...\' Elder Tao thought to himself, and his curiosity piqued.
He had encountered many disciples with exceptional abilities, but rarely had he come across someone like Chen Tian who he couldn\'t see through.
"Mm, then go ahead and proceed with your plans, but don\'t forget the library rules, little girl," Elder Tao said.
"Sure," Yin Yun replied with a smile, then headed into the library with Chen Tian and Su Bingxin following her from behind.

I hate it when I have exams. My last test will be on November 10th, so I\'m currently focused on studying. I\'ll try to post as much as I can in the next couple of days. Thanks for understanding and reading.
