Chapter 100: Choosing Techniques and Skills
After Zhao Peng talked about a few more things regarding the Inner Area, he volunteered to lead Chu Wuyao to the Original Library.
As the two of them were Shackles Realm cultivators, they were able to fly and soon, they arrived in front of a building that stood out compared to those around it.
This building was small but exuded a powerful aura, and there was a sign just above its door with the words "Original Library" written in bright letters.
"Here's the library. I'm sorry but I have to rush back to the entrance and can't stay any longer.", Zhao Peng looked at Chu Wuyao and after apologizing, he hurriedly flew away.
Although he could leave his post for a few minutes, if someone came and found that he was missing, he would end up in trouble.
Chu Wuyao looked at Zhao Peng's gradually disappearing figure and after he had left, she landed on the ground and stepped into the small building.
She had visited the Original Library in the Outer Area many times before and instantly, she realized that they were completely different.
There were no bookshelves here, nor any desks for disciples to sit at and read.
In fact, the moment Chu Wuyao stepped inside, she was teleported to a another space.
This space was very small, about the size of a room, and there was a transparent crystal at its center that glowed with a strange blue light.
Fortunately, before Zhao Peng left, he had already given her some instructions and tips.
Recalling his words, Chu Wuyao stepped next to the crystal and placed her purple token on it, causing the blue light to shine even more.
The next moment, some blue text appeared right above the transparent crystal.
As she went through the text, Chu Wuyao realized that this text was a list, containing various techniques, skills and other miscellaneous things.
There was a price behind each item, displaying the contribution points that the disciples had to pay in order to purchase them.
"Original Desire Sutra: The Shackles Realm Chapter of the Original Desire Sutra. Contribution Points:..."
"Overlord's Nine Slashes: A saber skill created by a powerful Supernatural Realm cultivator. Contribution Points:..."
"Basic Talisman Making: An introduction to the making of talismans. Contribution Points:..."
There was also a short description given to each item, that was just enough for the disciples to understand what the item was about.
Chu Wuyao stretched her hand and when her finger touched the blue text, she "swiped up".
Immediately, as if it was a phone screen, the original text went up, while more text appeared right below it.
When she saw this, Chu Wuyao almost had the illusion that she had returned back to Earth and was playing a VR game.
"Sure enough, as a cultivator's strength and status gets higher, the things they come into contact with will also become more and more high-level.", she sighed.
However, although she was a little emotional, she had not forgotten the reason she came here.
With a move of her finger, she clicked on the "Purchase" option behind the Original Desire Sutra and after the text flashed for a split second, a golden crystal appeared in her right hand.
Chu Wuyao didn't need any introduction and realized that this was a memory crystal.
Carefully, she put it in her space ring, planning to receive the information later.
Having gotten the rest of the Original Desire Sutra, she didn't rush to leave this place but continued looking through the various items that were on the list.
Since she could get one more technique and one skill for free, she would of course not hold back.

Even if Zhao Peng hadn't given her a reminder, Chu Wuyao had been planning to purchase a suitable body cultivation technique for quite some time.
After all, she knew that the fact she was able to leapfrog during battles at the Qi Accumulation Realm was a combination of many factors, including her powerful physical strength.
Chu Wuyao wasn't willing to lose that advantage.
After she spent a bit of time searching, Chu Wuyao found a technique she was very familiar with on the list.
"Blood Demon Body: The Shackles Realm Chapter of the Blood Demon Body Technique. Contribution Points:..."
It wasn't the body cultivation technique with the highest price, but even then, she still decided to choose it.
The Blood Demon Body was the technique that Chu Wuyao was most familiar with and its powerful regenerative effects had saved her life many times during her cultivation journey.
With that in mind, she clicked on the "Purchase" button.
Just like what happened when she bought the Original Desire Sutra before, the next moment, a memory crystal appeared in her hand, which she carefully put away.
Next, the only thing left was to choose a suitable skill.
From what she learned from Zhao Peng, Chu Wuyao knew that although the Shackles Realm chapter of the Original Desire Sutra contained a few accompanying skills, these skills couldn't be used in combat.
With that knowledge, Chu Wuyao decided to choose an attacking skill.
To be honest, she had become a little tired of always fighting like a brute, using her physical power to overpower her opponents.
She felt that it was time to change her fighting style.
After she carefully went through most items on the list, Chu Wuyao finally found a skill that piqued her interest.
"Seven Stars Swordsmanship: A swordsmanship that is divided into seven different levels. Each level can double the cultivator's sword's power. Contribution Points:..."
The Seven Stars Swordsmanship was one of the most expensive skills on the list and Chu Wuyao immediately felt that it was very suitable for her.
Having obtained the Snow Dragon Sword from Li Ruoshi, it made sense for her to practice swordsmanship and it would allow her to bring out even more of its power.
From what she knew, cultivators at the Shackles Realm were usually very skilled with the use of at least one weapon and it was very rare for a cultivator at this realm to still fight using their own body.
After all, cultivators at the Shackles Realm were able to control Spiritual Weapons without any side-effect.
No matter how strong a cultivator's body was, their body would never be able to match the power of a Magic Weapon.
If they did, it only meant that the Magic Weapon was not strong enough!
"Yes, this is the reason why I chose this skill.", Chu Wuyao nodded her head.
It was totally not because there was an extra line in its description that mentioned that the Seven Stars Swordsmanship had various accompanying special effects that made cultivators look more impressive.
She would never be so superficial!
Shaking her head to deny that ridiculous idea, Chu Wuyao looked at the blue text and confirmed her choice.
The next second, the memory crystals inside her space ring had increased even further, from two to three.
Unfortunately, this also meant that the three chances she had to purchase items for free had also disappeared.
Taking a last look at the items on the list, Chu Wuyao was somewhat reluctant and had an urge to buy all of them, but she could only grit her teeth and leave this place in a hurry.
Chu Wuyao hadn't felt the taste of poverty in a long time!
