Chapter 11 Energy Guidance Technique
The library housed numerous guiding arts and physiognomy that had been collected by the Luolan Manor. Although most of them had been transferred to the headquarters in the royal city, the old residence still retained quite a few. This place was considered one of the key areas of the old residence, usually well-guarded with patrolling guards everywhere. However, as the young master, Li Luo faced no obstruction as he entered the library. "Young master," a steward in the library said, momentarily taken aback upon seeing Li Luo, but quickly approached with respect. Li Luo nodded and instructed, "Find all the energy guiding arts suitable for the fourth-grade physiognomy in the library for me." The steward felt a bit puzzled; in the past, even when Li Luo came to the library, he only looked at some physiognomy, never bothering with energy guiding arts since he was born with an empty physiognomy, making these guiding arts of little effect for him. However, he dared not voice any objections; after all, regardless of anything, Li Luo was the young master and held the highest authority in this old residence. Thus, he promptly agreed and swiftly turned to search for the energy guiding arts as Li Luo requested. Li Luo found a quiet room and patiently waited for a moment before the steward, sweating profusely, entered with a pile of crystal tablets in his arms. "Young Master, all the energy guiding arts suitable for the fourth-grade physiognomy in the library are here. Among them, there are twenty-eight beginner-level energy guiding arts and six intermediate-level energy guiding arts." Li Luo nodded, waved his hand to dismiss him, and began to carefully browse through these energy guiding arts. In the Great Xia Kingdom, energy guiding arts were also classified into levels, with a grading system similar to that of physiognomy levels, divided into beginner-level, intermediate-level, advanced-level, and king-level. Apart from the beginner level, the other three levels were further divided into the inferior, middle, and superior grades. Beginner-level energy guiding arts allowed practitioners to complete the entry-level cultivation from the Ten Seal Realm to the Source Master Realm. To ascend from the Source Master Realm to the intermediate level, one would require intermediate-level energy guiding arts, and so forth. Beginner-level energy guiding arts were common, while intermediate-level energy guiding arts began to show distinctions, with only some mid-tier forces being able to possess them. Advanced-level energy guiding arts were even rarer and could only be owned by top-tier forces. Li Luo remembered that their Luolan Manor had two advanced-level energy guiding arts, which were left behind by his parents. As for king-level energy guiding arts, their preciousness was beyond words; if they truly appeared, they would likely incite a frenzy among many top forces in the Great Xia Kingdom, even potentially sparking a war between great nations. Generally speaking, the higher the level of energy guiding arts, the more stringent the cultivation conditions. Many of them would have requirements related to the practitioner's physiognomy grade. As of now, Li Luo's "Water Light Physiognomy" was only at the fourth grade, so he could only have the steward find those energy guiding arts that he qualified to cultivate. Time passed, and Li Luo quickly finished browsing the crystal tablets on the table. In the end, he selected three energy guiding arts: Nine-Section Inhalation Method, Intermediate-Level Low-Grade; Canglan Meditation Diagram, Intermediate-Level Middle-Grade; Spirit Transformation Formula, Intermediate-Level Middle-Grade. All three energy guiding arts belonged to the intermediate level, and if cultivated to the highest level, one's grade could break through to the intermediate level. These three energy guiding arts had decent potential, though not top-tier, they were not commonplace either. The key was that they were perfectly suitable for Li Luo's fourth-grade Water Light Physiognomy. In the future, once he elevated his physiognomy grade, he could easily search for suitable energy guiding arts to transition to without much difficulty. After contemplating among the three energy guiding arts for a while, Li Luo finally chose the Canglan Meditation Diagram, as the energy manifested from this art was strong and flowing like the ocean, aligning better with his Water Light Physiognomy. "It's you," Li Luo declared, waving his hand to store away the "Canglan Meditation Diagram," his eyes filled with eagerness. He then directly got up and left for the underground secret chamber of the library, where his parents had specially crafted a cultivation room. Here, he would begin to experience true cultivation.
