Stuck in a Chinese novel

Wei Jun came out of the sect master's quarters and Liu Yu was outside, waiting for him. As she saw him, she asked, "What did he say? And what was that about a demon?"

"Do you want to hear an answer to those questions or do you want to know about the reward he has given us?" Wei Jun asked. Liu Yu remained quiet and simply listened to what Wei Jun had to say.

"I will guide you," Before Wei Jun could tell her, a cold voice spoke from behind him. Wei Jun and Liu Yu both turned their attention to her. "Follow me," She said and then turned to walk away.

Liu Yu looked at Wei Jun who simply started to follow Wei Jun so she did the same. "What did he say?" Liu Yu couldn't contain her curiosity and ask.

"He said get stronger with the reward he'll be giving us today. We'll have to face him again," Wei Jun said. Although the sect master hadn't said so, it was the only reason for that reward. Otherwise, he would have been granted rewards like the rest of the core disciples but he was granted an opportunity to take one item from the sect master's collection. He was wondering if there was something there that wasn't available in the shop.

[I find that hard to believe]

[But there could be something you'd need at the moment]

[Like a body cultivation technique]

Even if there was one, unless it was an SSS rank one, Wei Jun wasn't taking it. After all, he was sure he would eventually buy one from the shop. Why waste a slot on something inferior when he could eventually have a better one?

"We've arrived," The woman walking before them stopped. Wei Jun and Liu Yu stopped as well, turning to look at the door made of gold on their right. The woman placed her hand on the door and it slowly parted from the middle, granting them access to the room.

'That doesn't look like normal gold,' Wei Jun said.

[It isn't]

[It's a mineral you can fashion into different shapes]

'That can be done to any mineral.' Wei Jun said.

[This is different]

[You just have to think after binding with it and it would change into whatever you want]

[It's lightweight but incredibly sturdy]

[It has one drawback though]

'What?' Wei Jun asked.

[If proper materials are used]

[The bond of a person with the mineral can easily be broken]

Wei Jun didn't know what it meant but if it was used by the sect master to safely keep his treasures, then it must not be very easy to bypass it.

[On the contrary]

[The people of this era just may not know it]

'Do you have it in the shop?' Wei Jun asked. He just had an idea and he was curious to see if it'd work or not.

[Didn't I say there's almost everything in the shop?]

Wei Jun didn't ask anything else and came to a stop as the woman stopped as well. She stopped in the middle of the room and turned to both of them, "You have an hour to choose. After that, whether you have chosen or not, you will have to leave."

Wei Jun didn't waste time to nod and simply moved. He didn't really know what to choose so he was relying on the system's help for that. He stopped in front of the section where there were lines and lines of bookshelves. All ten of them had cultivation techniques in them. Liu Yu also chose that spot but she made her way to the way back, where the truly powerful ones were.

'Can't one person only have one cultivation technique?' Wei Jun asked. The people of this world didn't know of that so Wei Jun was curious to ask.

[If they know how to then yes]

[Another method is to abolish the preexisting technique]

[She could just be curious and may want to study Qi a little]

[Something you should do too]

[It'll help you a lot]

Wei Jun ignored that suggestion since he already had a lot on his plate. Instead, he focused on cultivation techniques rather than useless chatter. After about thirty minutes of wasting time, he stopped. There was nothing useful in the cultivation techniques center.

He found only two books for body cultivation and both of them were useless. He ignored them and focused on the other ones but even they weren't really good and all they did was tell him how the shop was better.

He looked at other things as well but they were useless. The treasures, although great to increase Qi, were also available in bulk in the shop.

Unlike in the novels or movies, he didn't find a hidden treasure or anything else. In the entire room, there wasn't one single thing that could have piqued his interest or gained approval from the system. There were only five minutes left when the system said…

[You see that book]

[That black one]

Wei Jun turned to look at it and it was a mana cultivation technique. Wei Jun didn't know what he was supposed to do with it when the system spoke…

[You should learn how mana moves]

[That will be helpful when you become a grandmaster]

[You will have to buy it from the shop anyway]

[Why not take this one for free?]

Wei Jun agreed and took the book. As he picked it up, a number of notifications appeared in his vision.

[Well, that's new]

Even the system was surprised. Wei Jun didn't know what to do about it so he put it on hold for the moment. He simply took the book and made his way to the woman who kept her eyes on them like a hawk the entire time.

"I see you have chosen as well," She said. Liu Yu had already chosen so he was the one who was late. He wasn't interested what she had chosen so he didn't even look at it let alone asked. He was more interested in the new experiment that had shown up in the system notifications.

"Follow me," The woman said and Wei Jun and Liu Yu followed her out. Once they were out, the door behind them closed up once again. The woman turned to both of them and eyed the things both of them had taken. She nodded her head after making sure she knew what they were and said, "The sect master hopes you put the treasures he has granted you to good use."

Saying so, she simply turned and left. Wei Jun didn't waste another second and turned to leave as well. He had to get back to the Yuan Yin city. While there were many other reasons for his return, the biggest was because his lie might come out and he'd lose the military's support.

He had to clear dungeons before the month was up and he needed to do it quick. Such an open access to dungeons wasn't something he could simply forego. If there was a chance he could fool the military for a little more longer before they realized the contract was a sham, then it would be all the more better.

As he boarded the helicopter that was still here for so many days, the pilot fired it up and the helicopter rose to the skies. As the chopper made its way back to the Yuan Yin city, Wei Jun once again looked at the notifications in his view.

The title of the book said, "Introduction to mana channels and 508 one circle spells."

The author of the book was someone named Alex Cole. Wei Jun didn't know who he was and neither did the system but that wasn't the highlight.

[The user has been detected to have the INT stat]

[Would you like to learn skills of flame and dark attributed?]

[Yes\\No]

'Would I master all of them?' Wei Jun asked.

[No]

[Just those of fire and dark attributed]

[Yang and Death attributed]

Since Yang was similar to Flame, Wei Jun could also learn those skills. He, however, didn't click on 'Yes'. Sure, learning magic skills was great but Wei Jun didn't want that. He'd much rather learn high-ranked spells than such low-circle spells which, according to the system, were utility spells such as 'Ignite' which only lit a little fire on your finger.

He wasn't interested in those spells or skills at all. When asked whether he could upgrade them or not, the system didn't give a definite answer.

[Don't know]

[Cultivators can't use magic spells anyway]

[You must be a unique case]

'Can't hybrids can?' Wei Jun asked.

[You're not a hybrid]

Wei Jun didn't ask anymore. He wasn't interested in the spells but he was piqued by the mana channels information. It was so simply detailed that even he, who had zero experience with mana and its channels could easily understand them.

[This guy must be good]

[I've never seen such a simple depiction of mana channels]
Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire

[I think you should find more books about this guy]

Wei Jun nodded but that was for later. For now, he was more focused on the matters of the military and the protagonist. And amidst all that planning, he finally arrived at the military base.
