Qin Yu rolled his eyes, "Brother really doesn’t need any Shanyang Divine Skill, okay?"

Qin Yu continued to search the ground over and over, but alas, no matter how he rifled through the contents, the secret manuals he found were all spotlessly clean.

After everyone’s rummaging, the entire Scripture Pavilion became even messier, which greatly increased the difficulty of finding the Shanyang Divine Skill.

An hour later, Qin Yu stopped searching with a look of dejection on his face. He had gone over every spot on the tops of all the bookshelves, and all the books were spotlessly clean, not a speck of dust in sight.

Qin Yu sighed deeply, it seemed he had expected too much. Finding the Five Thunder Divine Skill in the Gu Family was already incredibly lucky; how could he strike gold again?

"Forget it, everyone stop searching."

While casually stashing a few decent secret manuals into the Purple Micro Star Ring, Qin Yu suddenly spoke, and everyone stopped in their tracks.

"Master, it’s our incompetence that we couldn’t find the Shanyang Divine Skill, but we can transcribe it from memory so that you can guide our brothers in our practice." Lin Ke said earnestly, looking at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu shook his head lightly, "I’m not going to stop coming to Shanyang Sect! By the time I come next, Shanyang Sect will surely have tidied up the Scripture Pavilion!

By then, the Shanyang Divine Skill will definitely have been found."

"That’s true! We’ll definitely come back." Lin Ke nodded slightly.

Qin Yu was taken aback, "Lin Ke, where are you planning to go?"

"Of course, we will follow the Master." Lin Ke said as if it were a matter of course.

Qin Yu rolled his eyes again, "Firstly, I don’t need you guys to follow me, and secondly, don’t call me Master, just call me Brother Yu."

"Does... Brother Yu not want us anymore?" Lin Ke looked nervous.

"How could I not want you guys? It’s just that you’re too weak right now and have no ability to protect yourselves. Stay at Shanyang Sect and practice in peace; come find me when your Shanyang Divine Skill has greatly improved!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunhai finally confirmed that Heavenly Secret Elder really hadn’t lied to him! Qin Yu indeed wasn’t taking Lin Ke and Lin Xin with him.

"Alliance Hierarch Qin, I have arranged a banquet to welcome your visit to the Shanyang Sect."

"There’s no need for a banquet. I’m leaving in half an hour."

"Then, in this half an hour, may I take Alliance Hierarch Qin on a tour around?"

"A tour is unnecessary. I have a few external followers who lack decent Magic Artifacts for protection. Please help me select a few, Sect Master Chu.

No need for too many, just two or three Magic Artifacts of the Quasi-Celestial Realm and the same of the Celestial Realm would suffice."

Chu Yunhai nodded slightly, "Alliance Hierarch Qin, I’ll take you to the armory. It’s best that you choose for yourself. After all, I do not know your followers well, and I might select inappropriate Magic Artifacts."

"That works."

Led by Chu Yunhai, they all arrived at the armory where Chu Yunhai took great care in explaining the pros and cons of various weapons to Qin Yu.

When it came to Magic Artifacts of the Quasi-Celestial and Celestial Realms, Chu Yunhai didn’t play any tricks, offering the best Magic Artifacts from the Shanyang Sect.

In the end, Qin Yu chose three Magic Artifacts.

"Alliance Hierarch Qin has a good eye. The Magic Artifacts you chose were all used by former Sect Masters of the Shanyang Sect, capable of fighting beyond their level among their peers," confirmed Chu Yunhai.

"Indeed, they’re not bad," Qin Yu nodded slightly, then walked towards the outside of the armory.

As he walked, Qin Yu kept grimacing to himself, truly vexing. He didn’t get any perks for himself, just benefits for his underlings!

Preoccupied with his thoughts, Qin Yu almost tripped over an axe lying on the ground and let out a cry of alarm as he steadied himself.
