I am a shooter

Chapter 22 Book Points to Direction

Compared with other sects and forces, the Shaozong Library is special. First of all, the types of books it collects are huge, with a large number of ancient books that are not related to martial arts. Secondly, the importance it has. In other sects or forces, library collections are strictly guarded, but this donated library is managed casually, with only an old woman guarding it.

There is a stone sign on the gate that reads:

1. Visitors must first show their identity card and register and pay before entering;

2. Elders can enjoy three free entries per month, and disciples need to pay five spirit stones or two contribution points each time they enter.

3. No fighting or noise is allowed in the pavilion. Any damage will be compensated according to the price!

Ning Shu saw this information as soon as he arrived, and sighed in his heart: The management of this place is really "modernized", it gives the illusion that it is almost the same as that of China.

However, the sect is too good at doing business. You have to pay every time you enter. Fortunately, I am here to complete a mission, otherwise I would have to pay. No wonder so few people come.

When he stepped in, he saw an old woman sleeping by the door. He bowed to her and said:

"Steward, I am here to complete the task of cleaning the library!"

When the old woman heard this, she tightened the wrinkles on her chin, looked at Ning Shu with difficulty, and said:

"The tools are behind me. Clean from top to bottom. Every page of every ancient book needs to be wiped with the liquid in the purple jar. Oh, be gentle and don't disturb my sleep!"

Ning Shu wanted to start right away when she saw this, but the old woman stopped her again, pointing at a wooden sign and saying:

"Hang it outside the door for me."

Ning Shu picked up the wooden sign, which actually said: Not open for cleaning! It felt like a blue planet, so strange!

Arriving at the fifth floor, Ning Shu began her task. She first cleaned the roof, bookshelves, and floor, and then wiped and maintained them. Every page of the books here was made of animal skin. An ancient atmosphere made her feel sacred and solemn. At the same time, she couldn't help but sigh: The respect that the ancients had for knowledge is worth learning from.

The superpower that had not been used for a long time was online again. Every time Ning Shu wiped and maintained a page, her superpower allowed her to remember a page. At this steady speed, plus her current mental strength, it was enough for her to remember all the contents here.

While doing the task, I sighed: It turns out that this world has so many interesting stories. Although there are no martial arts here, there are some basic martial arts and various weapons, which should be placed here for disciples to find inspiration.

After cleaning up, Ning Shu was ready to leave. He took out the jade token and handed it to the old woman, saying:

"Butler, the mission has been completed. Please check and accept the mark."

At this time, the old woman only sensed it for a moment, and then said:

"Not bad, quite careful."

Although the old woman was awake at this time, she was still lying down. Then she asked Ning Shu as if unintentionally:

"how do you feel?"

When Ning Shu heard this, he also replied respectfully:

“Great harvest!”

When the old woman heard this, she smiled and said:

"Interesting, little guy, come and play often when you have time."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and the jade token slowly flew over. After leaving its mark, it slowly flew back.

Just from this one move, Ning Shu knew that this person was a master. Compared to taking something quickly, this kind of control tests the fine control of strength more.

Hearing the old woman say this, Ning Shu also replied respectfully:

"Thank you, steward."

After saying that, she hurried to hand in the task. At the same time, she gained a lot from this task, especially a lot of theoretical knowledge about cultivation, as well as the introduction of various things in this world.

Perhaps some people think that these theories are meaningless. For example, the relationship between attributes and aura. Most cultivators can sense the attributes and aura and use them directly without delving into the reasons. It is like one plus one equals two, and so on. We do not need to explore the principles, we just need to know how to use them.

But Ning Shu felt that her situation was special. For Ning Shu, she could find a breakthrough based on these theoretical knowledge; if she wanted to break through the boundaries explored by her predecessors, she needed to find their theoretical basis at the time, and then identify the shortcomings and make up for them, so that she could successfully break through.

The wisdom of our ancestors allows us to quickly stand higher and build a foundation for us, but it does not tell us that this is the top of the mountain, but allows us to continue to move upward. This superimposed growth is the innate magical power of humans in this world and the fundamental reason why humans can stand out among all races.

On the other side, the old woman lying in the library looked at Ning Shu's receding back and muttered: I have the illusion that this little guy has a familiar aura, how interesting!

It was the first time she heard a disciple say that he had gained a lot after cleaning! Thinking of this, she shook her head and muttered: It’s better to lie down.

On the way to hand in the task, Ning Shu repeatedly sorted and summarized the information recorded in his mind. After all, if the memory is not sorted out in a short period of time, it will be scattered information. Only after sorting and summarizing can it be better understood.

It turns out that the so-called spiritual energy is the power of nature. After the ancestors distinguished the various attributes, they found that each attribute has a natural force, which can help humans transform their bodies and increase their strength. Later, with the help of the exercises created by the ancestors, the current realm of cultivation was created.

Thinking of this, Ning Shu was once again amazed at the greatness of mankind's ancestors!

However, it is very difficult to completely absorb the power of nature in these elements, so the higher the element affinity, the more natural power can be absorbed, that is, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Different elements actually have different corresponding abilities.

For example: fire corresponds to explosion, earth corresponds to defense, wood corresponds to endurance, gold corresponds to sharpness, water corresponds to gravity, and so on; therefore, the corresponding element affinity should choose the corresponding skills, which will be more conducive to practice.

However, whether various elements have other properties requires continued exploration by future generations.

Thinking of this, Ning Shu also gained a new understanding of cultivation.

Ning Shu quickly handed in the task and took on another one. After a short while, the task display board showed:

Mission name: Collect the claws of the sky leopard;

Mission requirements: Collect the claws of the sky leopard, the number required is fifty complete claws.

Mission contribution value: 55 points;

Task distribution mode: random mode;

Mission difficulty: Nightmare level;

Time limit for task completion: 38 days;

This caused the others to exclaim again, and someone immediately spoke up:

"Why is this nightmare-level mission included in the random missions?"

Ning Shu was still confused at first, but after listening to what others said, he took a closer look and realized that it was a nightmare-level task. Before Ning Shu could think about it, someone else said:

"That leopard is a social species, and it is also a flying monster. It is extremely difficult to kill. Once the battle starts, you will be facing a group of them. No wonder the contribution points are so high."

Ning Shu also roughly understood the situation of this task from the words of others. According to the difficulty, it should be included in the fixed tasks, but it appeared in the random tasks. Moreover, this task is generally not accepted by Qi Refining Stage, because flying is the basis for facing flying monsters.

At this moment, Ning Shu suddenly had the illusion that he had stepped into a trap.

At the same time, the disciple who was distributing the task said to Ning Shu:

"Junior sister, once the random mission is displayed, you can't give up."

Ning Shu nodded in agreement. This mission needed to be completed outside the sect, so she needed to go back to Diyin Mountain first, put on her equipment and then set off.

As soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw Liao Qingxuan flash in front of Ning Shu. Anxiously, he took her back to the small courtyard on the mountainside and said to Ning Shu:

"Shu'er, pack your things quickly, we're leaving tonight!"

Ning Shu was puzzled when he heard this:

"Master, what happened? Why do we have to leave?"

Helplessly, Liao Qingxuan told Ning Shu everything about the test, the sect master's request, and the dangers she would face.

Ning Shu heard it and said:

"Master, I can promise the Sect Master!"

Liao Qingxuan asked in confusion:

"Shu'er, you must hear the seriousness of what your master said. If you agree, you must fulfill your oath in the future, otherwise you will be punished by the way of heaven and disappear between heaven and earth. And if you fulfill your oath, you will definitely face the most powerful force in this country in the future! You are only in the Qi Refining Stage now. If this unknown opponent discovers your existence when spying on the secrets of heaven, you will be in great danger."

Ning Shu also knew the dangers after agreeing, but she couldn't seem to choose to run away with her master. If she ran away, it would put her master in danger, and it might also implicate her master's family. Moreover, she was already burdened with a "cult" that was condemned by the whole world. Anyway, she was not burdened with too many debts. In short, after some thought, between danger and master, she decisively chose master.

Ning Shu hugged Liao Qingxuan's waist and said firmly:

"Master, I can't put you in danger. Besides, you have to trust me. I believe I can do it in the future. If we promise the Sect Master, we can also ask the Sect Master to cover us. Isn't it safer this way?"

Liao Qingxuan listened to Ning Shu's words and seemed to understand something. She touched Ning Shu's head and said:

"Okay, I almost forgot that the heart of a strong person is the belief to move forward courageously and the confidence to break through all obstacles."

"No matter what monster lies ahead, we, the master and the disciple, will join forces to fight against it!"

Ning Shu also nodded in response, but he was determined in his heart: My good master, I will handle these things myself and will never let you be in danger.

Ning Shu thought of the contribution task again and said to Liao Qingxuan:

"Oh, Master, I have accepted the mission to contribute to the sect, and now I have to go out to complete the mission! Please promise the Sect Master for me first."

Liao Qingxuan asked doubtfully:

"Shu'er, you don't have to do it. I'll ask Qingyi to hand over some spirit stones."

Ning Shu shook his head upon hearing this and said firmly:

"Master, I will certainly face more problems and difficulties in the future. I will face them eventually."

Liao Qingxuan also sighed:

"Okay, then it's up to you."

At this point, the huge crisis was temporarily postponed. Ning Shu said it with ease, but he still felt inexplicable pressure in his heart. Fortunately, he gained something in the library today, so it seems that he needs to plan his future path.

Without thinking too much, Ning Shu took the practice long sword from the courtyard and set off towards the mission site.

According to the task prompts and the information she had seen in the library before, the Sky Leopards mainly lived on the edge of the border. There were traces of them within the country, and the closest one to the sect was Feile Valley in the west. In order to speed up, Ning Shu chose what she thought was the fastest route and ran away.

After taking off the special clothes, he felt as light as a swallow. Ning Shu estimated that if everything went well, he could arrive in one day.

Passing by a jungle, Ning Shu unexpectedly encountered a familiar force, which turned out to be the Black Tiger Gang, which was fighting with another gang. The most powerful cultivators on both sides were at the Spiritualization Stage, and they seemed to be fighting over something.

Ning Shu originally wanted to bypass them directly, but she found a familiar figure, Ning Erniu. Moreover, Ning Erniu's side was at a disadvantage. At this time, a man with a stick from the Black Tiger Gang was fighting with Ning Erniu, iron whip against long stick, both sides were evenly matched, and the fight was difficult to decide.

Ning Shu, who was hiding aside and observing, was also in a dilemma when she saw this. If she offered her help, she would be exposed. She needed to keep a low profile right now, so she must not be exposed.

But if she didn't help, it would go against her heart. After all, Ning Erniu was in crisis because of her. Otherwise, he would still be the shopkeeper in the town and live a stable life. And before that, Ning Erniu gave her money. So since she saw it, she had to help.

Thinking of this, Ning Shu quietly restrained his breath and touched the back of the stone closest to the battlefield. He found a corpse with a longbow in his hand. It should be an archer from Ning Erniu's side. The man's throat was cut by a sword, which should be caused by a sudden attack.

This man was also careless. An archer should retreat first instead of standing there waiting for a fight.

Ning Shu took the longbow and arrows and quickly retreated. A man holding a sword suddenly swung his sword towards where Ning Shu had just been.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual, she continued to fight on the battlefield. The sword she had just used made Ning Shu realize that this person should be the most powerful person in the Black Tiger Gang, so she decided to kill him first.

Then he quietly retreated, quickly evacuated the sensing range, chose a good position, held his breath and closed his eyes, feeling the distance from the target, and suddenly had a plan in his mind;

Holding the arrow in his right hand, he chanted: Come on, Gold! A stream of gold element surrounded his right hand and gradually gathered at the tip of the arrow, as if coating the arrow with a layer of golden film.

Hold the bow with your left hand and chant: Wood Wrap! A stream of wood element wraps around your left hand and merges into the longbow until the entire bow and bowstring are covered with the wrapping of wood element;

He stood with his feet in a bow position, drew the bow and arrow, opened his eyes and aimed at the target, and chanted: Fire helps the wind! Immediately, the fire attribute of his right arm appeared, slowly crawling towards the tip of the arrow, and the golden color gathered into a dot.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the right moment! Just as the sword-wielding man from the Black Tiger Gang was about to withdraw his attack, Ning Shu instantly released the bowstring.

Suddenly, a huge sense of crisis enveloped the sword-wielding man, and panic surged in his heart. Just as he turned around to look around, an arrow with a golden arrowhead and flaming feathers pierced his chest!

After the arrow hit his body, there was a huge explosion, and the man holding the sword was blown to pieces by the arrow. In an instant, the scene became quiet.

The few people who were close to it were splashed with blood. One person even had blood enter his mouth suddenly and was vomiting frantically!

They had never seen such a scene before!

After a while, someone from the Black Tiger Gang spoke up:

"Quick! Retreat!"

Immediately, the people from the Black Tiger Gang fled in all directions.

At this time, someone from Ning Erniu's side spoke up:

"What was that just now?"

Another person replied:

"It looks like an arrow!"

The man was surprised:

"How can it be!"

Everyone was also stunned. Even the cultivator's fireball technique wouldn't be that fast. Moreover, the explosion was definitely at the Huihai stage.

However, everyone retreated cautiously because they didn't know the purpose of the attack just now!

Ning Shu, who was standing far away, was also surprised. He didn't expect the combination of elements to be so powerful! It seems that reading more is really good.

Just now, she was afraid that the other party would find out, so she moved out of the other party's sensing range, but the distance was beyond the range of this bow, so she thought of using elements to imitate the feeling of bullet firing. Unexpectedly, the effect was so exaggerated, the degree of explosion was like the sniper rifle of Blue Star!

However, seeing that the Black Tiger Gang had retreated, Ning Shu was ready to continue towards his destination.

Through this attempt, she became more confident about this mission!
