nWhen Ye Xiao arrived at the fourth floor, he could clearly feel that there was a layer of restriction in the library.

nThat type of restriction was mostly a type of array formation.

nThe so-called array formation was a special energy that was produced by using specially-refined ores that operate in a certain route.

nThat special energy had both offensive and defensive forms.

nHowever, no matter which form it was, it could erupt with tremendous power.

nThe array was the protective umbrella of the high-level cultivation techniques hidden in the various areas, and it was also the first line of safety.

nTherefore, it was usually contracted and built by the top array experts of the nine provinces alliance.

nThat was also why, although Yang Zhengyi was a great grandmaster, he had no way of easily stealing the cultivation technique.

nHowever, Ye Xiao had the director’s approval, so he could easily enter the fourth floor.

nThere were quite a number of people on the fourth floor, and there were even a little more than he thought there would be.

nThere were about 100 to 200 people.

nThose people were definitely not enough to compare to the people below. However, every single person here was at least above Houtian fifth grade, and that did not include Houtian fifth grade.

nIn other words, those people were all the prodigies of Jianghai city.

nIn the next few decades, it was very likely that they would advance to the Xiantian realm.

nWhen Ye Xiao arrived, many gazes fell on him. When they saw that he had only revealed his Houtian second-grade aura, they could not help but raise their brows slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled.

nOf course, they were confused. How could Houtian second-grade trash like him have the qualifications to enter the fourth floor?

nYe Xiao did not bother with the crowd. He walked straight over and began to search for the books he wanted.

nNeedless to say, there were many surprises on the fourth floor.

nYe Xiao had just arrived in front of one of the bookshelves. He had just extended his hand and placed it on one of the books. In the next second, the divine soul’s Golden Book in his body twitched violently.

nThat caused him to be slightly stunned. Immediately after, he was delighted and reached out to take it out.

nThat was not a book on the art of armament refinement, but a book on strike techniques.

nYe Xiao had cultivated a little on strike techniques before, so he did not find many basic cultivation techniques. There were only two books.

nHe did not expect to find the third book here.

nHe studied it very quickly and imprinted it in his divine soul.

nAfter that, he continued to search for artifact refinement techniques.

nDuring that process, he would occasionally encounter a basic cultivation technique that was not included in the other series but was not included in the Golden Book.

nEver since Ye Xiao cultivated the Big Dipper’s Grand Myster spiritual cultivation technique, his mind was very active, like a computer.

nTherefore, he was very clear that the distribution rate here was even higher. It was about ten to fifteen times higher than below.

nIn other words, one could only find a basic cultivation technique by reading 10,000 books below. In that place, one might only need to read 1,000 books to find one.

nThinking about it carefully, it made sense. These were all cultivation techniques above the transcendent level, while the ones below were basically all ordinary ones.

nThe carving and evolution of cultivation techniques required the warrior to have sufficient experience and a certain level of skill.

nOrdinary cultivation techniques had a low entry-level foundation, so there would definitely be many people who copied them.

nSome Houtian third or fourth-grade martial artists might be able to adapt ordinary cultivation techniques.

nAs for transcendents, they needed experts above the grandmaster rank to be able to adapt them.

nThat way, the number of cultivation techniques would be greatly reduced.

nUnknowingly, a large portion of the discarded books had been deleted for Ye Xiao.

nAlthough transcendent-level cultivation techniques were definitely slower than ordinary-level cultivation techniques in reading, to Ye Xiao, that small difference was almost negligible.

nAfter all, his cultivation was already very high. With just a little comprehension, he would be able to grasp it very quickly.

nHowever, what Ye Xiao was mainly looking for was still the artifact refinement techniques.

nIn half a day’s time, he found roughly three more basic cultivation techniques for artifact refinement.

nIn that way, he already had eight basic cultivation techniques for armament-refining techniques.

nHowever, the divine soul’s Golden Book had yet to emit a faint fluorescent light. He did not know how many more were needed before he could synthesize.

nDing!

nVery soon, the sound of the bell rang signifying the library’s closing. Although Ye Xiao did not go to work today, he still had to leave when the library closed at night.

nAfter briefly packing up his things, Ye Xiao followed everyone and left the fourth floor.

nWith the approval given by the director, he estimated that he would be blessed in the next month and could come to the fourth floor from time to time to read.

nIt was wonderful.

nHowever, when Ye Xiao walked out of the fourth floor and arrived at the hall below, the sound of a siren came from the door.

nFollowing that, several garrison team members swarmed in.

nYe Xiao could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

n“What’s going on?”

nGu Hai glanced at him from the crowd and quietly walked forward to remind him.

n“Old Ye, leave quickly. Your library has detected the fluctuation of a star beast.”

nYe Xiao was slightly startled. There was a fluctuation of a star beast in the library?

nWhy had he not sensed it?

nJust as he was in a daze, a silver-white fox figure suddenly jumped down from upstairs.

n“That’s it! It’s over there!”

n“Quick! Catch it!”

nThe entire library was instantly thrown into chaos.

nPeople frantically rushed out while the garrison members frantically chased after the fox.

nThe silver-white fox swept its gaze across the crowd. Its eyes were filled with pain and sadness.

nThere were even traces of tears appearing on its small eyes.

nWhen its eyes met Ye Xiao’s gaze, it suddenly shrank and immediately jumped away.

nThat gaze became flustered and self-reproachful.

nIt was as if it did not want Ye Xiao to see it like that at all.

nHowever, Ye Xiao understood.

nThat was not a star beast, that was Ning Yuhen!

nNing Yuhen had the Silver Fox clan’s profound bloodline. The last time, when King El’s soul body possessed him, he had done something that caused the Silver Fox star beast bloodline in his body to gradually activate.

nOnce the star beast bloodline was activated, it was very likely to devour the human bloodline and have them become a star beast.

nThat was also the reason why all the countries in the world were very wary of the beastmen.

nThat was because no one knew when they would become unstable or why they would undergo a huge change.

nHowever, Ye Xiao had already used a healing cultivation technique to suppress Ning Yuhen’s Silver Fox bloodline at that time.

nWhy did it lose its effect?

nAt that time, he had already used his spiritual energy to search. King El had already left no mental imprint, so it was impossible for him to change Ning Yuhen.

nAt that moment, the commotion in the library had already gradually stopped, leaving only a few lingering sounds.

nThe members of the garrison team all chased in the direction where Ning Yuhen had escaped.

nYe Xiao could guess what would happen to Ning Yuhen once he was captured.

nAfter thinking for a moment, Ye Xiao followed everyone and left the library.
