This made Yang Chen somewhat surprised, because logically speaking, there shouldn’t be any direct source of hatred between him and Yuan Shaoyang. Although that day, he had swept away all of the Secret Realm Jade of the Ziyang Sect. But he didn’t think Yuan Shaoyang seemed like a person who would stand up for his sect.
This hostility seemed to have other underlying implications.
“I’ve heard about Brother Yang Chen’s outstanding performance for a long time, and today I can see it for myself. It seems that the biggest dark horse in this Genius Selection Competition is none other than Brother Yang Chen.” Yuan Shaoyang said with a faint smile.
Although it seemed to be a compliment, Yang Chen listened carefully and realized Yuan Shaoyang’s hidden intentions.
Yuan Shaoyang kept calling him the biggest dark horse, which was clearly an attempt to push him into the spotlight.
Among these talents, which one of them is not a ruthless genius? How could they truly submit to others? Upon hearing the term “dark horse”, the atmosphere became tense.
Sure enough, as soon as Yuan Shaoyang’s words came out, no one looked at
Yuan Shaoyang. Instead, the geniuses around him turned their gazes to Yang Chen, obviously curious about what kind of person was being called a dark horse by Yuan Shaoyang.
This made Yang Chen feel a bit indignant out of nowhere, but he showed no change on his face and no emotions, then he laughed coldly: “Brother Yuan calling me ‘brother’ at your age, isn’t that inappropriate?”
His words were full of mockery, making Yuan Shaoyang narrow his eyes slightly: “Haha, success has many masters. The matter of elder brothers cannot be judged by age.”
“Really? Yang Chen doesn’t think he is that impressive. But Brother Yuan is truly powerful. First, you schemed to take away Long Huaruo and nearly destroyed the girls of Yanhua Pool without a single casualty. Such resourcefulness is truly admirable.” Yang Chen said lazily.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shaoyang’s expression darkened.
As for the geniuses around him, each of them looked at Yuan Shaoyang coldly upon hearing this. They hadn’t expected Yuan Shaoyang to be such a despicable villain who had schemed against the girls of Yanhua Pool.
Yuan Shaoyang was looked at like this by others, he naturally knew that he was at a disadvantage and had just gained an empty advantage.
Just as he was about to strike back, suddenly an old man walked out of the Purple Gold Pavilion: “The Purple Gold Pavilion is now open, and there is only half a day for you to browse through. Guides, bring the youngsters you are responsible for inside.”
As the old man’s voice fell, he closed his eyes and disappeared on the spot. The way he displayed such a mysterious technique surprised many geniuses and left them speechless.
Yang Chen observed from the side, realizing that this old man must be a formidable figure.
He didn’t think too much about it and followed Wang Hong into the Purple Gold Pavilion.
As Wang Hong led Yang Chen into the Purple Gold Pavilion, he laughed: “Young Master Yang, you only have half a day to browse. During this half-day, you can freely look through any of the cultivation methods in the Purple Gold Pavilion. However, these methods are profound and hard to learn in such a short time. If you want to learn, you have to apply for an excerpt to study slowly after you go back. However, you can only take one book based on your ranking. You understand, right?”
“I know.” Yang Chen nodded, naturally there would be no disagreement.
Instructed by Zhou Haoran in advance, Yang Chen and Zhou Yunxi carefully browsed and observed the secret techniques and cultivation methods in the Purple Gold Pavilion, while also paying attention to Zhou Yunxi.
The secret techniques and cultivation methods in the Purple Gold Pavilion were varied and extensive, not only limited to martial arts, but also including alchemy, formations, and so on.
These secret techniques were not comparable to the outside world, and were all top-notch cultivation methods in North Mountain County.
Of course, this was of no value to Yang Chen, whose mind was a treasure trove far richer than the Purple Gold Pavilion.
Of course, he had this experience, and the cultivation methods in the Purple Gold Pavilion didn’t matter to him. But Zhou Yunxi was not the same, she was like Granny Liu entering a manor, looking around restlessly. When she found a cultivation method, she would ask her guide Liu Zhi if it was suitable for her to practice.
Chen excitedly and asked: “Yang Chen, what do you think of this cultivation method? Is it suitable for me?”
Yang Chen took a look at the cultivation method for a moment, then said: “Not suitable. The method is too aggressive and powerful, which can hurt you as well since your mind is not resilient enough. If you don’t want to repeat the previous fainting incident, choose a gentler cultivation method.”
Why did Zhou Yunxi make a mistake in her cultivation last time? It was because the cultivation method she was practicing was too aggressive and not suitable for women.
“What? But Senior Liu Zhi said it was very suitable for me to practice, and his experience should be much stronger than yours.” Zhou Yunxi pouted, clearly dissatisfied.
Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh, not bothering to explain further: “Then you can choose a few more cultivation methods and ask him if they are suitable. I guess his answer will be that they are all suitable!”
Zhou Yunxi didn’t believe him and chose several more cultivation methods in a row.
Each time she picked one, she asked Liu Zhi, and his answer was invariably that they were all suitable.
In the end, Zhou Yunxi picked a secret manual about formations, which wasn’t even a martial art cultivation method, and Liu Zhi still said it was suitable.
This left Zhou Yunxi feeling irritated, and she eventually believed what Yang Chen said- was Liu Zhi really considering her?
Yang Chen naturally saw all this.
How could Liu Zhi genuinely help Zhou Yunxi choose a cultivation method?
There were so many secret techniques in the Purple Gold Pavilion, each one a treasure. They already let you browse and excerpt one, so why would they specifically help you choose a good one? They didn’t even know Zhou Yunxi well enough to help her pick something out.
At last, Zhou Yunxi could only run back to Yang Chen’s side with a depressed and apologetic look, asking him for advice once more.
“Yang Chen, what about this cultivation method?”
Yang Chen glanced at the cultivation method and said, “It’s not suitable. Like I told you, pick a relatively gentle cultivation method.”
Zhou Yunxi pursed her lips, “Those people do so well in fights, and you insist on me learning some gentle cultivation method? I won’t stand a chance.” Yang Chen rolled his eyes and ignored her.
Although he didn’t have high hopes for the Purple Gold Pavilion, he still had to browse through it.
After searching for about half a day, Yang Chen shook his head, completely disappointed with the Purple Gold Pavilion.
It wasn’t that the cultivation methods in the Purple Gold Pavilion were insufficient. It was just that his experience from his previous life was too extensive, and the Purple Gold Pavilion could not even enter his sight.
However, just when he had almost given up hope, Yang Chen suddenly saw a jade slip in the corner, with only four words written on it: ‘Taichi True Scripture’.
Upon seeing the Taichi True Scripture, Yang Chen’s expression paused and his expression turned strange.
When it came to the two words ‘Taichi’, most of them were related to fire control.
Because in the ancient times, there was a fire control expert named Taichi True Monarch, who had reached the level of a titled true monarch and was almost at the top of the continent. His specialty was the fire control technique.. He could be considered the ancestor of playing with fire and was an old ancestor who had reached the pinnacle of fire control!
