"Lin'er, what did you just see?" Moments later, Li Wushuang reappeared in front of Li Lin, now dressed in a light-colored brocade robe, her hair wiped to a semi-dry state, exuding a fragrance that filled the air with a refreshing scent. With a flushed face, she asked Li Lin in a soft voice.

"What did I see? I didn't see anything," Li Lin replied lightly.

"Right, did you come to find me for something?" Li Wushuang looked at Li Lin with a mix of suspicion and curiosity.

"Sister Wushuang, I want to visit the Martial Arts Archive, but I don’t know the way," Li Lin said.

Li Wushuang responded, "Then let me accompany you. There are only a dozen or so days left before the Yunyang Sect's quota competition. You should really prepare well."

Following Li Wushuang, Li Lin passed through several long corridors to arrive at an ancient-looking courtyard guarded by two members of the Li family, both middle-aged and seemingly at the warrior level.

Above the courtyard, several characters read "Martial Arts Archive," exuding an ancient aura, indicating its long history.

"Miss Wushuang, what brings you here?" one of the middle-aged men immediately asked upon seeing Li Wushuang.

"I'm accompanying Lin'er to the Martial Arts Archive. Open the gate, please," Li Wushuang said.

The other middle-aged man said, "Miss Wushuang, entering the Martial Arts Archive requires the elder's and the clan's permission."

"Open it. My father said Lin'er can enter and exit the Martial Arts Archive as he pleases," Li Wushuang took out a green jade token, seemingly a token of the Li family.

"Yes, Miss Wushuang, Master Lin'er, please come in," the first middle-aged man who spoke opened the courtyard gate for them.

Following Li Wushuang, Li Lin entered the Martial Arts Archive and found themselves in a spacious room.

"Lin'er, this is the Li family's Martial Arts Archive. However, only Chen and Xing level martial techniques are available here. As for Yellow Level techniques, they are held by the elders of the Li family. There are also many insights from our ancestors. If you understand them well, you can benefit greatly."

"Only Xing and Chen level techniques," Li Lin was startled but not surprised. Martial techniques are extremely precious, especially Yellow Level techniques, which are even more invaluable. It's natural for the Li family not to store them in the Martial Arts Archive due to the risk of theft.

"Lin'er, you can choose any martial technique here, but you can only choose one at a time, once a year, as per the Li family's rules. There are insights from our ancestors that you can freely read. Having too many martial techniques can lead to jack of all trades, master of none," Li Wushuang continued.

"Sister Wushuang, is there any information on spiritualists here?" Li Lin asked.

"There are only two spiritualists in the Li family, and other families have only one, all currently abroad on business. As for information on spiritualists, there really isn't any. Spiritualists are rare, and everything relies on personal comprehension. However, Yunyang Sect does have some materials on spiritualists," Li Wushuang explained.

"Oh," Li Lin responded lightly, then looked around at the jade slips and other handwritten materials.

Additionally, there was information on the attributes of various warrior types, something Uncle Jiang hadn't elaborated on, including the advantages and disadvantages of each attribute.

There were also detailed introductions to various levels of martial techniques, from Tian, Di, Xuan, Huang, Xing, to Chen. On the Lingwu Continent, Xuan level techniques were already invaluable, capable of moving mountains and summoning storms.

As for Di level techniques, they were exceedingly rare and not fully described, while Tian level techniques were legendary and not documented.

Among the five types of warriors, wind warriors were the rarest, followed by wood warriors, with fire, earth, and water warriors being relatively more common. Wind warriors had a significant advantage in speed and were the most difficult to deal with.

In these materials, Li Lin also found information on demons and spirit beasts, including how some warriors, with the help of spiritualists, could tame demons as mounts, while spiritualists generally tamed spirit beasts for their use.

However, taming demons and spirit beasts was not easy, far beyond Li Lin's imagination, but he took it all to heart.

"Lin'er, there are only a dozen or so days left until the Yunyang Sect's competition. Choose a martial technique now. It's said that this time there are several talented individuals from other families, so be careful," Li Wushuang said.

"Which martial technique should I choose?" Li Lin hesitated, unsure of what to pick.

"Sister Wushuang, are there any wind techniques?" Li Lin asked, having seen the detailed introduction to each warrior type and noting the advantages of wind techniques.

"No," Li Wushuang shook her head. "Wind warriors are rare, so their techniques are fewer. The Li family doesn't have any wind techniques."

"No wind techniques," Li Lin felt somewhat disappointed. Having a wind technique would have given him a significant advantage in battle.

"Fury Fist," Li Lin picked up a jade slip beside him, which introduced the Xing level martial technique, Fury Fist, a technique compatible with his own Mountain Splitting Palm and suitable for his current level.

Li Lin also saw many water and wood techniques, but he had only revealed fire, wind, and earth attributes in the Li family. Practicing wood and water techniques seemed somewhat unjustifiable.

After some hesitation, Li Lin decided to practice Fury Fist. For now, practicing this technique would be beneficial without any drawbacks. He could seek better techniques from Uncle Jiang later, as Uncle Jiang surely had them.

"Sister Wushuang, let's go," Li Lin said, picking up the Fury Fist technique. As for the insights left by the Li family ancestors in the Martial Arts Archive, he wasn't very interested. With Uncle Jiang's teachings, he already had enough. Reading too much could lead to a lack of specialization, which wasn't beneficial.

"Let's go. You can come to the Martial Arts Archive anytime, but if you can enter Yunyang Sect, the Wanwu Tower there is much larger than the Li family's," Li Wushuang said.

Leaving the Martial Arts Archive with the Fury Fist technique, they headed back to the courtyard, with only a dozen days left until the competition in Qingyun Town. Uncle Jiang had instructed Li Lin to visit Yunyang Sect, and he couldn't afford to be careless. He definitely needed to go.

"Sister Wushuang, how strong are the competitors from the other families in this Yunyang Sect's quota competition?" Li Lin asked on their way back.
