I Want Them All! (Five Thousand)

To say he wanted a Heaven Rank Dou Technique, Xiao Yan also knew was a bit of wishful thinking. This level of Dou Technique could only be obtained in places like Central State.

However, Xiao Yan did have his own goals in coming to the Books Collection Pavilion this time. He hoped to find a sonic Dou Technique.

Because after taking the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill, Xiao Yan was lucky enough to inherit a trace of thin Dragon Qi. When Xiao Yan used sonic Dou Techniques, it would carry a bit of Dragon Might, shaking people's souls.

And there was no sonic Dou Technique in the mysterious Storage Ring that Xiao Yan could cultivate, so Xiao Yan planned to try his luck at the Books Collection Pavilion.

"Could it be that there really isn't anything else, only that Lion-Tiger Shattering Gold Chant? But that's only Mystic High-Rank." It wasn't that Xiao Yan hadn't found a sonic Dou Technique, but this sonic Dou Technique was only a Mystic High-Rank Dou Technique, and he felt that this Dou Technique was a bit too low-level.

He was already a two-star Dou Ling now, and the strong enemies he would encounter in the future would basically be Dou Wang and above, Mystic High-Rank seemed a bit too embarrassing.

"Xiao Yan-gege, there isn't much time left." Xun Er said gently.

Suddenly, a fiery red light shot out from the energy wall with a whoosh.

As soon as the fiery red light appeared, the temperature of the entire huge room rose slightly. Therefore, Bai Shan and the others also hurriedly cast their gazes over. Seeing the momentum brought by this ball of fiery red light, they were all stunned, and then reflexively shot over.

However, just as their figures moved, Xiao Yan, who had discovered this ball of fiery red light one step ahead of them, suddenly appeared as a black shadow. With a grab of his hand, enduring the heat coming from it, he grabbed the fiery red light into his hand, and then retreated violently. Xun Er also cleverly flashed up and blocked Bai Shan and the other two.

"Hehe." Grinning at Bai Shan and the other two, Xiao Yan grabbed the fiery red light and came to Xun Er's side, his gaze swept into the light, and then he was stunned, his throat slowly rolling.

"Not bad, it really is a good thing."

In the fiery red light ball in Xiao Yan's hand was a light red Scroll, and the scorching temperature was also emitted from it. His gaze penetrated the light, carefully scanning the light red Scroll, and he could vaguely see some words on it.

"Ninefold Phoenix Flame Art, Earth Rank Low-Level Cultivation Method."

These simple words made Xiao Yan swallow hard. Earth Rank Low-Level Cultivation Method! The Burning Mantra had swallowed so many Strange Flames to reach Earth Rank Low-Level! And now he had an Earth Rank Low-Level fire-attribute Cultivation Method in his hand.

Even in the Black-Corner Region, a place where black goods circulated on the continent, this Cultivation Method would definitely cause a sensation. Countless forces would fight to the death for this Cultivation Method. However, now this invaluable Earth Rank Cultivation Method had fallen into Xiao Yan's hands so simply, it was really a bit dramatic.

Tossing the extremely light Scroll in his hand, Xiao Yan felt that his hand was a little heavy. The things that he couldn't even dream of getting in the past were now being spat out at will in this mysterious Books Collection Pavilion. The richness of Canaan Academy's collection shocked Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan sighed inwardly, it was impossible for Xiao Yan to switch to other Cultivation Methods now. If he could get the Fallen Heart Flame, plus the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, Xiao Yan was confident that he could evolve the Burning Mantra to Heaven Rank! "Xun Er, your Cultivation Method hasn't reached Earth Rank yet, right? I'll give this to you." Xiao Yan shattered the light barrier with a palm and handed the Cultivation Method to Xun Er.

"This guy is really generous, that's an Earth Rank Cultivation Method." Although Bai Shan and the other two focused most of their attention on continuing to find targets, Xiao Yan's action of throwing the Cultivation Method to Xun Er was also seen by them. Especially when they heard what Xiao Yan said later, they couldn't help but be stunned, and then their expressions were a little strange. Earth Rank Cultivation Method, that was a priceless treasure, this guy was too generous, right? Seeing the stunned Xun Er, Xiao Yan shrugged and said, "It's impossible for me to change Cultivation Methods. I think your Cultivation Method is still Mystic Rank, right?"

Seeing Xiao Yan's expression, Xun Er smiled sweetly and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I need a transitional Cultivation Method now, this thing is just right."

"Xun Er, you go out first. It's almost time now. I'll take another look. If there's really nothing good, then I'll take this Lion-Tiger Shattering Gold Chant." Xiao Yan patted Xun Er's shoulder and winked at Xun Er.

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, a strange color flashed in Xun Er's beautiful eyes, and she nodded with a sweet smile, taking the Scroll and leaving the Books Collection Pavilion.

Seeing Xun Er leave, and Xiao Yan standing at the door with a smile, Wu Hao and Hu Jia looked at each other and swallowed subconsciously. They didn't look for it anymore and quietly left the Books Collection Pavilion.

The two silently prayed for Bai Shan in their hearts. This Bai Shan hadn't understood who was being targeted by whom.

When everyone had left, and only Xiao Yan and Bai Shan were left in the Books Collection Pavilion, the energy wall of the Books Collection Pavilion emitted a faint light, and a suction force appeared at the door to suck people away.

"Damn it, is there no other Earth Rank Dou Technique!" Bai Shan was extremely annoyed. He had just seen several light balls with strong energy, but they were all missed because of Xiao Yan.

With a buzz, a silver-white light ball suddenly flew out of the wall. Bai Shan could recognize that this was the light ball of the Earth Rank Dou Technique that he had almost caught at the beginning! "That's mine!" Bai Shan roared, his whole body's Dou Qi erupted, turning into a white shadow and rushing towards the light ball. And the light ball seemed to be really waiting for Bai Shan, motionless.

"Caught it!" Bai Shan grabbed the light ball, but in the next second, Bai Shan's Soul felt a burst of stinging pain. The light ball in his hand seemed to be stimulated, and with a whoosh, it flew away from Bai Shan's hand and flew into the energy wall.

Bai Shan's face turned pale immediately, with a look of frustration: "How could this happen, what's going on!"

"Bai Shan senior, I thought you were pretending to be stupid, but I didn't expect you to be really stupid." Xiao Yan crossed his arms and looked at Bai Shan, who was still at a loss, with a smile.

Bai Shan suddenly turned his head to look at Xiao Yan, and suddenly realized, exclaiming: "It's you! It's all your fault!!"

Xiao Yan immediately laughed so hard that he leaned back and forth, and said with a smile: "Didn't you hear what the vice president said just now? In the past, there were often students who didn't get any rewards and went home empty-handed. Do you think this is because they are greedy?"

When Xiao Yan came in, he understood that those students were not unable to get rewards because they were greedy, but because they were blocked by others.

"Jie Jie Jie, if you can get any reward from the Books Collection Pavilion, I, Xiao Yan, will read my name backwards." Xiao Yan spread out Eagle's Wings, and Mao Wu came out of the void and stood on Xiao Yan's shoulder.

An extremely powerful Black Flame enveloped Eagle's Wings, dyeing it into Black Flame Wings. Xiao Yan just stood quietly in the air, looking down at Bai Shan.

Although it was impossible to kill people in the academy, or even seriously injure students for no reason, Xiao Yan could prevent him from getting any resources.

Bai Shan was now extremely regretful. He had really been in the limelight in the Outer Academy for too long. Xiao Yan had only been here for four months, and he basically hid in the Dou Technique Hall to train Xiao Ning and the others, just like a transparent person.

Bai Shan still hadn't realized that Xiao Yan was someone he couldn't afford to offend.

No matter how Bai Shan tried to snatch the light ball, when he was about to get it, the void would twist, and a ball of Black Flame would drill out and knock the light ball away.

Xiao Yan was like a cat playing with a mouse; since someone didn't know any better, he, as the first place winner of the Outer Academy selection competition, naturally had to teach him a lesson.

"Ah! Damn it!!" The suction force grew stronger and stronger, eventually pulling away Bai Shan, who gained nothing, leaving only Bai Shan's indignant roar echoing.

Xiao Yan was also about to lose his grip and be forcibly taken away, but a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"No matter how much you can pick up, you can only take one thing out of the Books Collection Pavilion. Don't be greedy, or you'll end up with nothing... I want to see if the rules of this Books Collection Pavilion are more powerful, or the power of the Void Swallowing Flame is more powerful."

*Boom boom boom!! The Dou Qi in Xiao Yan's body circulated wildly! Meow! The Void Swallowing Flame Sub-fire meowed* and spat out a large amount of Void Swallowing Flame!

Xiao Yan wasn't here to get a reward; he was here to sweep the supermarket!

The Void Swallowing Flame possessed the power to devour everything; it could even devour the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King's Symbiotic Purple Crystal Source and cut off the Azure Lotus roots of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame.

In that case, the rule that the Books Collection Pavilion couldn't take away more than one light sphere reward could definitely be devoured!

With a thought, Xiao Yan controlled Mao Wu to wrap the dozens of light spheres that he had left a Soul imprint on using Soul Chasing. With a few shua shua shua sounds, Mao Wu sucked fiercely, and those light spheres were all swallowed into the Void space within its body, just like sucking pearls from milk tea.

"Go!"

Xiao Yan held the Lion-Tiger Shattering Gold Chant scroll in his hand, put Mao Wu back into the Soul Collection, and with a flap of Eagle's Wings, flew out of the Books Collection Pavilion.

Just as Xiao Yan was about to fly out of the Books Collection Pavilion, his powerful Soul force sensed a spatial power actually penetrating his body and delving into the Soul Collection to take away the light spheres.

Whoosh! A stream of Black Flame surged out, directly devouring this spatial rule power. Feeling the power of the Void Swallowing Flame taking effect, the corners of Xiao Yan's mouth rose, turning into a black shadow as he flew out of the Books Collection Pavilion.

End up with nothing? A capable person directly takes the well with them!

With a poof, Xiao Yan flew out of the Books Collection Pavilion and stood firmly on the ground.

"You, you actually triggered the rule power of the Books Collection Pavilion and still managed to come out with a scroll???" The two old men guarding the Books Collection Pavilion looked at Xiao Yan, who came out unscathed and still holding a scroll in his hand, as if they had seen a ghost.

This Books Collection Pavilion was established by the Dean of Canaan Academy, and the things inside were all his treasures. Moreover, the Books Collection Pavilion wasn't just an ordinary book pavilion; there were spatial rules set by a Dou Zun expert there.

Since the spatial rules were triggered, it meant that Xiao Yan had broken the rules and taken away more than two items. Even the two of them couldn't break the Dean's rules, so they guarded the Books Collection Pavilion to become guardians, so that they could obtain more advanced Cultivation Methods and Dou Techniques.

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, raised the scroll in his hand, and said, "Didn't you say one item per person? Of course I can come out."

The two guardians exchanged glances, knowing that Xiao Yan was lying, and both saw surprise and incomprehension in each other's eyes.

In the end, the two shook their heads. Since Xiao Yan could come out, that meant he complied with the rules, so they couldn't interfere.

"Xiao Yan-gege." Xun Er hurriedly ran over, looking at Xiao Yan with concern. She had been with Xiao Yan for so many years, and she understood Xiao Yan with just a glance, knowing that Xiao Yan wanted to do something out of line.

Xiao Yan smiled and stroked Xun Er's hair, saying, "It's okay."

"Eh? Where's Senior Bai Shan?" Xiao Yan asked knowingly.

Hu Jia said unhappily, "What do you think? That guy was like a wronged little girl, looking like he wanted to cry after coming out, and ran away in a huff."

Wu Hao shook his head. He could see that Xiao Yan was definitely a ruthless person who would retaliate for any grievance, and would retaliate tenfold. Offending him would definitely not end well.

Rolling his eyes, Xiao Yan said with some guilt, "Since everyone has received their rewards and come out, let's go back."

Hu Qian looked at Xiao Yan strangely and said, "Alright, you have all received your rewards. Next, take a two-day break. After two days, you will need to enter the Inner Academy. When that time comes, you'll have something to complain about."

Looking at Hu Qian's smiling appearance, Xiao Yan and the others exchanged glances and nodded slightly.

Watching Xiao Yan leave, the two guardians sighed. Qian Mu, the guardian on the left, said, "I bet that kid definitely took more than one item."

Bai Lie stroked his beard and smiled, "Since he has the ability, then that's his ability. The Dean initially said that the top five could enter the Books Collection Pavilion, but didn't say how much they could take."

"It's just that later, many people became greedy, leading to them returning empty-handed, which is why the saying that you can only take one item was added."

"No matter what, this kid's future growth is immeasurable. The Inner Academy is afraid it's going to be turned upside down."

What the two guardians didn't expect was that it was turned upside down, but in a different sense.

As Xiao Yan and the others disappeared, this Books Collection Pavilion, which was hidden in an unknown location, finally returned to its usual tranquility, until the end of the next year's Inner Academy selection competition, when it would be opened again.

After returning to the Xiao Clan's pavilion, Xiao Yan rubbed his hands and summoned Mao Wu.

"Good boy, spit out the things." Xiao Yan looked at Mao Wu with a smile.

(ー`ー) Meow! Mao Wu frowned and turned its head away. That's mine.

"Don't worry, you'll get your share this time. I promise to refine pills for you."

Hearing Xiao Yan say this, Mao Wu spat out all the 'loot', a total of more than twenty light spheres!

If the Vice-Principal were to see this, he'd probably want to kick Xiao Yan out of Canaan Academy. This is like letting a rat into a rice jar!

Xiao Yan crushed these light spheres one by one. None of these light spheres contained a scroll; they were all extremely precious medicinal herbs and two high-level pill recipes.

For Xiao Yan, a high-level pill recipe was equivalent to an Earth Rank Dou Technique.

"Sixth Grade Intermediate Pill, Golden Soul Pill. A pill that can temporarily enhance the Soul. After consumption, it can add a layer of Golden Soul to the Soul, strengthening Soul power for a short period."

"Seventh Grade High-Level Pill, Profound Flame Red Pill. A Dou Zong level expert with Fire affinity who consumes it can increase by one star."

Looking at the two pill recipes in front of him, Xiao Yan revealed a satisfied smile. He was only lacking Pill Refining experience to reach the Sixth Grade.

The goals Xiao Yan set for himself upon entering the Inner Academy were to obtain the Fallen Heart Flame to evolve the Burning Mantra, raise his Pill Refining skills to Sixth Grade or above, cultivate all Dou Techniques to Lesser Mastery or above, and raise his cultivation to Dou King or above.

Oh, right, and to help Medusa Queen condense a physical body along the way. He almost forgot.

Xiao Yan stored all the pill recipes and Medicinal Herbs into his Storage Ring, playing with the Lion-Tiger Shattering Gold Chant in his hand.

Xiao Yan had read the introduction to the Lion-Tiger Shattering Gold Chant. It gathers Dou Qi in the abdomen and throat, using a special Dou Qi circulation to attach Dou Qi to sound, thereby generating a vibration wave to attack the enemy. Because it is a special sound wave, it has penetrating power and area-of-effect attacks.

However, this was only Mystic High-Rank. Compared to the Earth Rank Dou Techniques that Xiao Yan was currently cultivating, it seemed lackluster.

"Sigh, I still have to make a trip to the Soul Offering Old Shop. I currently have a little over 20,000 Soul Points on hand. If it's really not enough, I might have to sell some pills to Soul Old Ghost."

If it was just because of the Yin-Yang Profound Dragon Pill's bit of Dragon Qi, then Xiao Yan would have been satisfied with the Lion-Tiger Shattering Gold Chant.

However, Xiao Yan discovered a problem, which was the special ability of the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame: it could strengthen that bit of Dragon Qi.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame could strengthen the power of all Magical Beasts. If combined with the special ability of the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Flame, the Lion-Tiger Shattering Gold Chant would not be enough to unleash its full potential.

In any case, he had two days to rest before entering the Inner Academy, so Xiao Yan rested for one day. Early the next morning, after giving some instructions, he flew out of Canaan City and arrived at Peace Town.

Xiao Yan changed into his Soul Robe and walked into the small alley that had led him down a path of no return.

Xiao Yan now knew that this alley had a Space Lock, and this Space Lock was even more advanced than the Soul Palace's Space Lock.

After two years, Xiao Yan came again, looking up at the dilapidated plaque that seemed about to fall. This time, he did not hesitate and pushed the door open to enter the Soul Offering Old Shop.

Xiao Yan stepped into the Soul Offering Old Shop. The Soul Offering Old Shop remained unchanged. It seemed that no matter how many years or tens of millions of years passed, this shop would not change. It was as if everything in the Dou Qi Continent could not alter it.

Soul Old Ghost was still sitting in the chair as he had been two years ago, as if Soul Old Ghost hadn't moved since Xiao Yan left.

When Xiao Yan stepped into the Soul Offering Old Shop, Soul Old Ghost, who looked like a dried corpse, suddenly opened his eyes. A gleam of Soul Light flashed across his yellowish-white eyes as he scanned Xiao Yan's body.

"Heh heh heh, promoted from Soul Envoy to Heaven Rank Protector in two years. Such speed is rare even within the clan, and..." Soul Old Ghost's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had seen something. He said in a deep voice, "The Xiao Clan's Dou Di Bloodline, although very weak, you have it."

Having obtained the Yin-Yang Dual Flame, Xiao Yan naturally knew about the matters between the Soul Clan and the Xiao Clan.

However, Xiao Yan was not afraid. He simply revealed a faint smile, walked closer to Soul Old Ghost, placed the Soul Token on the table, and said with a smile, "I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just here to buy something."

Soul Old Ghost revealed an ugly smile and said slowly, "Heh heh heh, the same. Those who do not become Dou Di are all mortals."

Xiao Yan waved his hand, not wanting to discuss these things with Soul Old Ghost. Right now, the Soul Clan truly feared the Gu Clan and would not think highly of Xiao Yan at all.

"I'm here to exchange for something. Do you have any sound wave Dou Techniques above Earth Rank?"
