Investment System In Xianxia World Chapter 20

Chapter 20: Fellow Disciple, Will I Lie to You?

"It's a Blue one?"

Li Xun's eyes twitched, and a hint of surprise flashed deep in his eyes.

The system had just said that he could obtain a Flying Spiritual Treasure from this investment.

And it was a Low-Grade Flying Spiritual Treasure, which was incredibly valuable!

You see, in the world of cultivation, among the same level of treasures, the most expensive ones are those with special functions, especially Flying Spiritual Treasures.

These treasures generally combine functions such as flight, defense, spirit gathering arrays, and storage space!

After all, if all you need is a flying sword, why spend so much money on a Flying Spiritual Treasure?

From a value perspective alone, a Low-Grade Flying Spiritual Treasure like a Spirit-Lifting Boat was almost on par with a Medium-grade Attacking Spiritual Treasure!

"Where is she?"

Li Xun stopped in his tracks and scanned the entire fifth floor of the scripture pavilion with his gaze.

Soon, he saw a woman dressed in the attire of an inner disciple slowly walking up the stairs from the fourth floor.

She was enveloped in a blue light, but the light was slightly shallower than that of Ye Han when he had first seen him.

The girl didn't notice Li Xun and walked straight to a bookshelf. She stood there, facing away from Li Xun, and raised her head to look at the martial arts techniques on the shelf.

"Which one should I choose?"

The girl frowned and hesitated a bit.

She has been an inner disciple for quite some time, but since changing her cultivation method, her progress has not been satisfactory. According to her talent, she should have already reached the mid or late stage of the Qi Refining Realm. Yet, even after almost a year of practicing with the new inner sect cultivation method, she is still stuck in the early stage of the realm.

This speed of progress doesn't quite match her reputation as a genius.

"When I first entered the Xuan Yang Sect, I was clearly suited for water attribute cultivation methods. Why is it that now, even after practicing the Gentle Water Technique, I see no improvement?" The young girl pondered.

She reached out with her slender hand and picked up the Ice Yuan Classic from the bookshelf. It was also a low-grade Profound-level cultivation method, but it belonged to the water attribute branch. Once perfectly mastered, it could freeze tens of miles of water into ice.

"Is it because it's an ice attribute technique?"

The girl pursed her lips, holding the Ice Yuan Classic with one hand and her identity token with the other, unsure of what to do. Inside her identity token, she had accumulated enough contribution points from completing sect missions over the past year to exchange for a new cultivation method. But if she made the wrong choice again, she would waste another year of time.

In the early stages of cultivation, one year was simply too long, and countless others would surpass her.

Just as she hesitated, a cultivation method was suddenly placed in front of her. "Junior sister, why don't you give this one a try?" At the same time, a clear and gentle voice reached her ears.

"Hmm?"

"The Wood Element Blue Water Art?"

The girl first looked at the name of the cultivation method, then turned to face the person who gave it to her. Before her was a handsome young man with a pair of sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, giving off a friendly smile. "Senior brother, who are you?"

The girl had big, sparkling eyes that shone like stars in the sky. She blinked, her eyes showing some confusion. She was sure she had never seen this senior brother before.

"I am Li Xun," Li Xun smiled and continued, "I noticed junior sister has been standing in front of the bookshelf for a long time and seemed to be having difficulty choosing a cultivation method. I happen to have some knowledge in Eye Techniques and think that junior sister might be more suitable for the Wood Element Blue Water Art. That's why I came over to recommend it to you, so you wouldn't waste this opportunity."

"Is that so?"

The girl tilted her head, her eyes showing a hint of caution. After all, a senior brother she didn't know suddenly approached her and recommended a cultivation method.

Anyone would be filled with doubts. "What kind of eye technique is the senior practicing?"

"Hmm..."

Li Xun's face stiffened.

He didn't expect that this junior sister was even harder to fool than Shen Yuluoyan. He made up his mind to learn some kind of eye technique after today. Otherwise, if he kept using this excuse, he might be exposed as someone who never actually practiced eye techniques.

But for now, he needed to get past this obstacle.

After a moment of contemplation, Li Xun solemnly uttered four words. "The Fiery Eyes of Truth!"

"The Fiery Eyes of Truth?"

The girl thought for a moment, but she had no impression of this particular eye technique on the sixth level.

Does this level have this eye technique?

Maybe it does.

The girl comforted herself in this way.

"That’s right, with this eye technique, I can see through illusions. If I cultivate it to its highest level, I can see through the heavens and earth, and see through a person's potential. It's just a small skill," Li Xun bragged shamelessly. "Besides, we are fellow disciples from the same sect, do I really need to deceive you with a book?"

"Well, that's true," the girl said, her lips curling up as she lightly tapped her chin with her youthful fingers.

She thought for a moment and then took the technique book that Li Xun had handed over, transmitting its contents into her identity jade pendant.

Just as she finished transmitting the information, the system's voice rang in Li Xun's mind.

【Ding, congratulations to the host, the investment was successful, and you have obtained a Spirit Boat (Low-Grade Flying Spirit Treasure). Would you like to claim it?】

"No, I won't claim it," replied Li Xun offhandedly.

After returning the Blue Water Art back to Li Xun, the girl in front of him shook the identity jade plaque in her hand and giggled, "Thank you so much, Senior Brother Li, for today's help, Qingshuang appreciates it."

"However... if it doesn't work out, I'll come find you," she added playfully.

"Qingshuang?" Li Xun paused, then asked tentatively, "Is your surname Liu?"

"Yes," replied Liu Qingshuang, nodding curiously. "Is there a problem?"

"No," Li Xun said, giving her a strange look before shaking his head.

He had heard of Liu Qingshuang before. She was also a genius who became an inner disciple within two years. But he never expected to meet her in this situation.

It seemed like Liu Qingshuang's life in the inner sect was not going as smoothly as he had thought, even her cultivation technique was still unfinished.

"Well... if Senior Brother doesn't have any other business, then Junior Sister will take her leave today," Liu Qingshuang said, bowing politely.

"Take care," Li Xun said, seeing her off.

After bidding farewell to Liu Qingshuang, Li Xun did not immediately rush to the sixth floor of the scripture pavilion.

' Instead, he stood still, with a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

Just now...

When he invested in Lui Qingshuang, he didn't seem to have the Blue Water Art in his hands. But why did the system still prompt him to invest?

Could it be because of the environment he was in?

Li Xun looked around the bookshelves and had a moment of realization.

The Scripture Pavilion did not belong to anyone, but to the sect. In other words, any Xuan Yang Sect disciple had the right to browse one or even multiple books before they found a suitable technique.

He had two slots, but only took one copy of the Purple Sun Heaven Technique. This meant that there was one technique in the entire Scripture Pavilion, from the bottom three floors to the middle three floors, that he could still copy using his empty slot..

As long as he didn't take the second technique, the slot would always be there!

"Is this considered a bug?"

Li Xun glanced in the direction that Lui Qingshuang had left. How many people who entered the Scripture Pavilion are looking for a suitable cultivation art?

If that was the case...

Could he spam the investment option on those disciples like he just did to that girl?
