Chapter 37 The Mysterious Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, and the Extraordinarily Effective Cultivation E

"Uh... Pavilion Master Qin, although I obtained the manual for the Water-Walking Lightness Skill, I haven't learned it yet."

Lu Ming thought about it and decided to tell the truth, since he would know once he tried it.

If Qin Zhonghai were to give up on recruiting him because of this, he would have no choice but to accept it, though he would feel a little regretful.

After all, this is the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, and becoming a secret agent of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion would bring him many benefits.

If he loses the protection of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, Shen Changfeng, who just dared not make a move, will immediately extend his claws at him.

"You didn't learn it?" Qin Zhonghai was taken aback, clearly not expecting such an answer.

Having obtained a second-rate lightness skill manual, Lu Ming actually didn't learn it?

"Could it be that you've been practicing some third-rate light-foot technique called 'Flying on Grass' all this time?" Qin Zhonghai asked.

Lu Ming shook his head: "I haven't learned Grass Flying either. I've been mainly practicing Cloud Piercing Finger recently. It's a second-rate finger technique passed down by Master Wei."

Qin Zhonghai fell silent.

The spacious carriage swayed slightly as it moved, creating a somewhat awkward atmosphere inside.

Lu Ming said, "Actually, before..."

Qin Zhonghai interrupted him: "Let's talk about it when we get to Tianji Pavilion."

After saying that, he closed his eyes to rest.

Lu Ming had no choice but to swallow his words, a hint of nervousness creeping into his heart. It felt like preparing for an exam with full confidence, only to find out upon arrival that the subject was completely different.

Of course, although he was a little uneasy, he did not panic.

He possesses a supernatural power panel; as long as he doesn't die, his future is limitless. If the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion doesn't accept him, it will be a loss for the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.

He does need a powerful force like the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion as a backer to handle some troubles; otherwise, he would be constrained in his actions.

He had also prepared for the worst. The worst outcome would be nothing more than returning to his previous state, remaining in the Military Service Department until the final exam.

Soon, the carriage arrived in front of the Tianji Pavilion.

Aside from being four stories high, Tianji Pavilion looks unremarkable on the outside, like an ordinary building.

It was evening, and people were coming and going inside the Tianji Pavilion. Many of them wore black headscarves, as if they didn't want anyone to know that they had been to the Tianji Pavilion.

Although there were many people, the environment was not noisy, there was little chatter, and people hurried to and fro.

Qin Zhonghai's entrance immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"Sect Master Qin!"

"Sect Master Qin is back. Oh? Is this nephew a junior of Sect Master Qin?"

"Could he be a disciple of Pavilion Master Qin?"

Many people greeted him curiously, looking at Lu Ming following behind Qin Zhonghai.

Qin Zhonghai nodded slightly, which was his response.

Lu Ming followed him to the backyard, where there was a small martial arts training ground with weapon racks on the side, complete with all kinds of weapons such as swords, spears, halberds, and plum blossom stakes, as well as various training grounds.

Night had fallen, and torches were lit around the training ground, illuminating the area brightly.

"Sect Master Qin." A group of people were practicing martial arts in the training ground. One of them, who seemed to be the leader, stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

Qin Zhonghai nodded and said, "You continue with your work. I'll mentor a new person."

"Yes." The man glanced at Lu Ming, then turned and left.

Qin Zhonghai led Lu Ming to the depths of the martial arts arena, where there was another door.

Once inside, it resembled a partitioned training ground, but there was no one there; it seemed to be specifically used to test newcomers.

boom!

After entering, Qin Zhongguan closed the inner door of the martial arts arena, immediately cutting off the view from the outside world.

The firelight flickered inside, and the torches illuminated the room brightly.

"You can continue what you were about to say," Qin Zhonghai said, staring at Lu Ming.

Lu Ming immediately said, "Yes, what I was actually going to say was that although I didn't practice water walking, it's because Master Wei taught me a first-class lightness skill, the 'Soaring Clouds Technique'."

Qin Zhonghai's gaze sharpened: "First-rate lightness skill, the 'Soaring Clouds Technique'? Have you even grasped the basics?"

Lu Ming nodded: "I have mastered the basics."

Qin Zhonghai said, "Could you demonstrate?"

"Of course, no problem."

Lu Ming took a deep breath, stepped back slightly, stood in the middle of the training ground, and then began to practice the "Soaring Clouds Stepping Technique".

"Stepping down feels like walking on cotton wool, lifting a foot feels like pulling a kite string..."

Qin Zhonghai watched Lu Ming's demonstration, muttering to himself, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

The "Soaring to the Clouds" technique is characterized by its suddenness, speed, and a soaring spirit.

"Impressive lightness skill!"

After watching Lu Ming finish his demonstration, Qin Zhonghai couldn't help but exclaim in admiration that he had heard of this lightness skill before, but had never been able to see it.

At this moment, he was overjoyed at the sight of his prey and looked at Lu Ming, asking:

"Would you mind exchanging your lightness skill for mine?"

Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat. Should he exchange his lightness skills?

The "Soaring Clouds Technique" is a top-tier lightness skill. If Qin Zhonghai wants to exchange it, he should at least give up a top-tier lightness skill in return.

In that case, wouldn't it be even easier for him to develop leg techniques next time?

He pondered for a moment and said, "I need to go back and ask Master Wei. After all, this is what Master Wei taught me, and I can't just give it away casually."

Qin Zhonghai nodded: "That's only right. Then, let's leave this matter aside for now."

"You haven't cultivated the Water-Walking Technique, but if you used the Soaring Clouds Technique instead, it would be the same."

"You possess the talent for lightness skills, but your 'Soaring Clouds Technique' is not yet fully mastered, and your lightness skills talent has not reached the top level."

"With your current talent, you can only serve as an outer spy for the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, helping the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion to investigate intelligence below level C."

Lu Ming asked, "Oh? What are the requirements to truly join the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion?"

Qin Zhonghai smiled and said, "Unless you have top-notch lightness skill, or you can count the number of stars in the sky."

The former was as Lu Ming expected, but upon hearing the latter, Lu Ming was taken aback:

"Count the stars? How is that even possible!"

It was nighttime, and when Lu Ming looked up, he saw a sky full of stars, so numerous that he couldn't possibly count them all.

Moreover, he had experience from his previous life and knew that the stars in the sky were actually constellations in the universe, just like individual suns.

There are billions of stars in the universe, almost infinite, so how could they be counted?

Qin Zhonghai chuckled and said, "If you can count them, how can you not? The number of stars in the sky is actually a fixed number."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming's pupils contracted slightly, and his heart skipped a beat.

Is the number of stars a fixed number in this world?

Are you kidding me!

Lu Ming found it hard to believe. Every aspect of this world, including the night sky, was extremely similar to her previous life. She had originally thought that there was another universe outside this world.

If the number of stars is a fixed number, then it's not necessarily so.

Lu Ming tentatively asked, "Why is the number of stars a fixed number? Isn't it countless?"

Qin Zhonghai said, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."

Heavenly secrets? The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion!

Lu Ming suddenly felt that the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was probably even more mysterious than outsiders imagined.

However, such a mysterious force is not even a legitimate lineage.

So, how powerful must the major sect behind the Military Service Division be?

A sense of longing arose in Lu Ming's heart. If he had the chance, he would definitely enter a major sect of Dao lineages and see what it was like there!

However, he knew it would be difficult. Throughout history, Chiyun County had never produced many disciples who could join the Daoist lineage. In previous years, it was considered good if one or two people could join a third-rate sect!

Above the third-rate sects are the second-rate and first-rate sects. The major sects of the Dao lineage are even above them.

Of course, the reason why even third-rate sects are so sought after is that all the sects that enter the mainstream have the opportunity to join the major sects of the Dao lineage.

Therefore, as long as one can join a mainstream sect, even a third-rate sect, there is a chance to join a major sect of the Dao lineage.

Lu Ming's current goal is to at least join a third-rate sect.

"Alright, now let me tell you about your treatment as a secret agent of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion." Qin Zhonghai's voice brought Lu Ming back to his senses, and he looked at Qin Zhonghai with excitement and anticipation.

Qin Zhonghai continued, "First of all, the cultivation elixir of my Tianji Pavilion has a completely different effect from the cultivation elixir of other forces in the county."

"Enlightenment Pill! That's its name, and its effect is to give you sudden enlightenment and greatly improve your efficiency in cultivating martial arts."
