The King of Urban Mercenaries-Chapter 1245 - 1248: Treasure Book Pavilion

Seeing the Dou Sect Master with a dark expression, Lin Fei restrained his smile and said, "Sorry, Master, I really couldn’t hold it back just now, so I let one slip. Didn’t expect you to be so generous, truly worthy of being my master. So, does this mean I passed the test?"

The Dou Sect Master looked behind Lin Fei and saw that a large area of candles had been snuffed out by the fart and sighed, saying, "Alright, I’ll consider you as having passed the test."

Lin Fei quickly stood up, gave a bow to the Dou Sect Master, and said, "Thank you, Master!"

"Why thank me? You should thank your own large intestine!" the Dou Sect Master said helplessly. He really couldn’t fathom how Lin Fei managed to hold it in; truly a remarkable feat.

Lin Fei also understood he was being a bit sneaky, but it was also thanks to the Dou Sect Master’s generosity that he was considered passed. If the Dou Sect Master hadn’t wanted him to pass, he probably would have to go home.

At this point, the Dou Sect Master spoke again, "Since you’ve passed the test, I’ll fulfill my promise to you. Open up your WeChat and let me add you, and don’t forget to send me a red packet."

"What?" Lin Fei was a bit confused and said, "Send you a red packet? Didn’t you say you often send out red packets?"

"You’ve misunderstood. When I said often, I meant you kids. Have you ever heard of a master sending red packets to a disciple? Anyway, I’ve never heard of it, so hurry up," said the Dou Sect Master.

Lin Fei was speechless, not expecting to be tricked by this old man. He said, "Alright, so what’s next?"

"Next? Oh~ I forgot, I’m supposed to take you through the back door. Haha, come with me, I’ll show you the back door," the Dou Sect Master chuckled.

"Master, can we not be so deceitful? When I mentioned the back door, I didn’t mean literally walking through a back door!" Lin Fei couldn’t imagine if the Dou Sect Master only took him for a walk at the back door, it would truly be like shooting himself in the foot, since he meant making some connections and taking shortcuts to gain benefits.

"Just come with me, young man, be a bit more straightforward. I have a lot of things to do, don’t waste my time, keep up now," the Dou Sect Master said.

Lin Fei had no choice but to droop his head and follow the Dou Sect Master to the back door of the main hall and walked inside.

Once they entered, it was as if they stepped into a different world, with a lively scene all around. In front of Lin Fei, there was a path surrounded by a dark forest, leading downward as if descending into the depths of the mountain.

"What is this place?" Lin Fei asked puzzled.

"This is a forbidden area deep in the Man Mountain, where non-Beidou Sect members are prohibited. It is also a stronghold of our Beidou Sect. Didn’t you want to go through the back door? I’m taking you to a good place," the Dou Sect Master said.

Lin Fei followed the Dou Sect Master, passing several forks on the way, each leading to structures seemingly embedded in the mountain. Along the way, many people who saw the Dou Sect Master greeted him, casting curious glances at Lin Fei.

Finally, they reached the end of the path at a double fork. The Dou Sect Master led Lin Fei to the left fork.

As they proceeded, a fragrant aroma wafted from the forest on either side. They came upon an ancient building with a rich Mo Country style. The building had three floors, with a large plaque hanging on the second floor, inscribed with the words "Treasure Book Pavilion."

"Master, what is this place?" Lin Fei asked.

The Dou Sect Master smiled and said, "This is the foundation of our Beidou Sect and a treasure trove. Here we have tens of thousands of classics and cultivation books. I brought you here to let you choose a cultivation method that you fancy. With a cultivation method, you can become stronger."

"Cultivation method? But I don’t know how to cultivate. What’s the use of a cultivation method?" Lin Fei asked.

"Once you go in and choose, you’ll understand," the Dou Sect Master led Lin Fei into the Treasure Book Pavilion. Inside, an elderly man with white hair was in charge. Upon seeing the Dou Sect Master, he quickly walked out from behind the counter, bowed, and said, "Old Sect Master, what brings you here?"

The Dou Sect Master replied sternly, "I brought my disciple to choose a good cultivation method. Open the third floor."

"What? The Old Sect Master has taken on another disciple?" The elderly man glanced at Lin Fei but slightly furrowed his brows, nodded, and said, "I’ll call together the seven elders to open the third floor of the Treasure Book Pavilion."

The Dou Sect Master nodded and said to Lin Fei, "The Treasure Book Pavilion’s first floor is accessible to ordinary disciples. Only elders or teachers who have obtained permission can enter the second floor. The third floor is only accessible with the Sect Master’s permission. Isn’t this me opening the back door for you?"

Lin Fei was incredibly moved. He hadn’t expected the Dou Sect Master to actually open the back door for him. Understanding the importance of the Treasure Book Pavilion and the stringent rules for the third floor, he knew the items there were extraordinary and required the Sect Master’s personal approval, demonstrating their significance.

"Thank you, Master!" Lin Fei, being someone who knows gratitude, was very thankful for Dou Sect Master’s kindness and remembered it in his heart.

The Dou Sect Master smiled and said, "Once you enter the third floor, make your choice quickly. You have only three hours to choose, that’s the rule, and no one can change it, understood?"

"But how do I choose? I have no idea which cultivation method is important," Lin Fei said. Not having cultivated before, he naturally didn’t know what was significant or what was less so.

The Dou Sect Master said, "Everything on the third floor is the best, but there’s a pattern. Come over here, let me tell you..."

Lin Fei leaned in closer, and the Dou Sect Master whispered, "I’ve arranged the secret manuals in the Treasure Book Pavilion myself, from left to right, meaning the first one on the right is the most powerful. If you’re going to choose, choose the first one on the right, got it?"

"Got it." Lin Fei smiled and nodded. He hadn’t expected the Dou Sect Master to be so thoughtful with opening the back door for him—practically a home service.

Soon, the seven great elders arrived, and behind them was a pale-faced scholar. This person had a clean face, giving off a gentle impression like a scholar, but his eyes were cold. Paired with his tightly closed lips, he seemed like a sharp sword, giving one a chill.
