Master, you go first!

"Well, it's you." Ji Chuxue nodded and handed the invitation letter to Shen Nian.

Shen Nian took it,

"It's just that I haven't wanted to participate yet, and I'm completely unprepared."

Hearing this, Yin Deren opened his mouth and said,

"There is still time to prepare, and I would like to invite Fellow Daoist Shen to come and participate."

Shen Nian didn't understand and asked Yin Deren,

"Isn't this voluntary? Could you please tell me what's wrong with Deacon Yin? Do you have to participate?"

"It's okay to volunteer, but because your performance in the sect competition last time was really good, I recommend you to participate in this southern competition. I think the competition will be more exciting. And the rewards this time are also very good. Rich."

"Oh..." Shen Nian nodded in understanding.

"Okay, since the invitation has been sent, I won't disturb you all."

Yin Deren bowed and left the Lingxue Mountain Sect. When leaving, he didn't forget to turn around and tell Shen Nian to remember to come.

Shen Nian looked at Gu Jiu and Ji Chuxue in confusion.

"Why do I feel that something is not normal? Sect Master, is there any precedent for this in the past years?" Gu Jiu frowned and asked Ji Chuxue.

"It doesn't seem like there is. Usually people who sign up for the Southern Competition are busy enough. I've never heard of invitations to participate."

"That's strange. Could it be that our cooperation with Qiankun Sect has been exposed?"

"Not sure. At least he didn't mention the business just now. Maybe not yet."

"Then what should I do? If I go, it won't be safe for the master. If I don't go, it will refute the Sect's reputation. It's troublesome."

Ji Chuxue nodded, thought about it, and finally decided,

"It's better to go and ask the ancestor to accompany you there, so as not to cause any accidents."

"That's all it can do."

The matter was settled, Gu Jiu did not hesitate and returned to the peak with Shen Nian.

……

In the back mountain of Danfeng, Gu Jiu took out some newly acquired jade slips in the past few days to study.

During this period of time, it was time to go to the secret realm and fly to the Immortal Sect Qiankun Sect. Gu Jiudu had not gone to the mortal towns to collect jade slips for quite some time. Hope there will be a good harvest this time.

Shen Nian did not go back to her room. When she saw Gu Jiu sorting out the jade slips, she followed him to the big room on the roof.

"Need help?" She walked into Gu Jiu's room with her hands behind her back.

"Oh, feel free to sit down and take a look later."

"Don't you want to go to the study on the second floor?"

"Forget it, let's sort it out first and go down if necessary." Gu Jiu said.

When Shen Nian heard this, he didn't ask any more questions. He sat on Gu Jiu's bedside and took a book from the storage ring to read. She is much more stable now, unlike before when she would pester the speech book as soon as Gu Jiu started working on the jade slips.

She seemed to feel more at ease staying here. Perhaps Yin Deren's invitation to her made her subconsciously uneasy.

Gu Jiu placed all the jade slips beside the table, sat on a chair and began to look through them one by one.

Nowadays, Gu Jiu has rummaged through a lot of jade slips. He has acquired countless heaven-level skills in the past two years, many of which have been collected in the sect's library. There are also several kinds of holy-level ones, enriching the top floor of the sect's library.

Gu Jiu has no interest in the ordinary earth-level skills. It just depends on whether they have special functions. If not, they will be thrown away as scraps.

After searching more than two hundred volumes of jade slips, I spent a lot of time and finally found a volume of holy-level spiritual skills. There are also letters from Juan Ning Yunxin.

"Master, here is a scroll of spiritual skills that you can use appropriately." Gu Jiu stretched out and said to Shen Nian.

"Oh, then go downstairs and copy it."

"Well, let's go."

This spiritual skill happens to be a skill that uses a bow-like magic weapon, which is very rare. Most of the spiritual skills are related to swords, and many others are bare-handed spiritual skills that are not limited to weapons. And it's really hard to find someone who specializes in using bows and is of such a high grade.

"The magical skills of bow weapons in "Nine Styles of Destroying Gods" are divided into three stages.

Three formulas in the first paragraph:

Rapid shooting, scattering, transporting.

Mainly the arrow speed, quantity, and strength are enhanced.

Three formulas in the second paragraph:

Burst, slow down, track.

Mainly the effects attached to the arrows, such as the name of the move.

Three formulas in the third paragraph:

The rain of arrows destroys souls and gods.

Arrow Rain is similar to your own Ten Thousand Arrows and can be used directly. The soul-destroying arrow can cause damage to the soul, making it impossible for people to use the power of the soul. The God of Destruction is so powerful with just one arrow that his soul is instantly wiped out. "

Gu Jiu briefly told Shen Nian about this magical skill.

After hearing this, Shen Nian nodded to express understanding, calmly picked up the pen, and was about to start transcribing.

"No, don't you think this is awesome? Are you not surprised that Soul Destruction is so awesome?"

Gu Jiu was a little surprised to see that Shen Nian seemed to have no reaction.

"Very good, just take it out and practice, otherwise what?" Shen Nian replied calmly.

"Okay, that's true. You used to be very excited when there was a good technique. It's just that you're not used to it."

"Haha, let's start. Just get used to it slowly."

After sorting out the "Nine Styles of Destroying Gods" in the study on the second floor, Gu Jiu went back to the room to check Ning Yunxin's letter.

This time I matched the account and can view it normally.

"Hello, destined person:

This is the third letter, and this time the answer is: nine times in total.

Did you guess it?

Unsurprisingly, it doubled nine times, in a very, very good environment, and basically a living creature can practice.

Did you know that at this time, many open-pit spiritual stone mines appeared all over the world.

It didn't exist before, maybe it became like this because the spiritual energy had accumulated more.

Do you know where the spiritual stone mines came from in the past? You must not have guessed this. I will tell you next time. Come on and look for my next letter.

What should I talk to you about this time? Let’s talk about this jade slip.

You must be curious about where this jade slip came from. This material was obtained accidentally, from an asteroid, and was captured by a powerful force when it flew by.

The planet is not that big, so it is fair to say that it is a large meteorite. There is no such material on our planet. I am not a student of this kind of material science about its specific structure, and I don’t know how to describe it. In short, it is very awesome.

The person who discovered its effect was Venerable Ning, my father, Ning Zhi. Hehehe, I am a second-generation official, no surprise.

Their team has researched it and made a jade slip to input the martial arts and spiritual skills into it. Then it can be used by low-level monks to directly understand the martial arts and spiritual skills, or it can be used as a book to record information.

The biggest feature is that it is very stable and lasts almost forever. Of course, when the skill is used up, it needs to be resmelted and input again. After all, it is not just a simple record but also involves the power of the soul.

This discovery has greatly advanced the process of the Great Immortal Cultivation Era. What usually took years or decades of practice now only takes a short while.

Therefore, the higher-ups later decided to distribute a certain amount of jade slips to those sects that had contributed to it, to facilitate the inheritance of their sect's martial arts and spiritual skills and the preservation of data.
