# Chapter 135: Trashy Profound Skills x2
Yun Che was a person who often didn't follow common sense. This was one of the most intuitive impressions Sikong Du had gained after his brief contact with him.
For example, a mere Initial Xuan Realm cultivator like him actually dared to challenge Murong Yi, and another example... among all the weapons in the Heaven Armory, he had actually chosen this weapon that Sikong Du had repeatedly explained was absolutely impossible to choose!
"Did you not listen to a single word I said just now?" Sikong Du said in a deep voice. "This sword is simply not suitable for us Xuan practitioners! The difficulty of wielding it will be a hundred times greater than wielding an ordinary sword! Although it has the highest grade in the Heaven Armory, the most important thing when choosing a weapon is that it suits you. Let alone it being an Earth Xuan Tool, even if it were a Heaven Xuan Tool, no one within the Inner Palace would choose it!"
"I understand everything you've said." Yun Che gritted his teeth as he supported the weight of the Overlord Giant Sword and said slowly, "But I can feel that this sword is the weapon that suits me best."
"You have to use almost all your strength just to lift it, so how can you possibly wield it?"
"That's only because my strength is insufficient. As my profound strength increases, there will come a day when I can easily wield it." Yun Che replied.
"The Inner Palace, and even the entire Cangfeng Mystic Palace, has no profound skills related to heavy swords, nor any mentor who knows how to use heavy swords. If you really choose it, you won't even know how to properly train with it." Sikong Du furrowed his brows and patiently tried to dissuade him. He simply couldn't understand — he had clearly stated so many reasons, yet Yun Che had directly chosen this heavy sword that had long been forgotten.
"It's fine. Studying it on my own is also a good choice." Yun Che took a deep breath, raised both hands, and stored the Overlord Giant Sword into the Heavenly Poison Pearl. Then he clapped his hands and said with great satisfaction, "Brother Sikong, I've finished choosing my weapon. I'll go to the Ju Xuan Tower on my own. First, take me to the Tai Xuan Hall."
"You..." Sikong Du really wanted to say that he was simply unreasonable. In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly and say, "Forget it. I've already said what I needed to say. Since you still choose this way, I have no right to interfere. Let's go."
The Tai Xuan Hall was the place in the Cangfeng Mystic Palace where various profound arts and profound skills were stored. It was the accumulation of a thousand years of the Cangfeng Mystic Palace's heritage. The Tai Xuan Hall existed in the Inner Palace, but it had special teleportation arrays set up, allowing entry from the Outer Palace, Middle Palace, and Inner Palace. However, Outer Palace disciples could only enter the first floor, Middle Palace disciples could enter the first and second floors, and Inner Palace disciples could freely enter all three floors. The higher the floor, the higher the grade of profound arts and profound skills stored there.
After passing the imprint inspection of the guarding elder, Yun Che followed Sikong Du directly to the third floor of the Tai Xuan Hall. It was silent here, filled with a mysterious and dense aura of profound force. Looking around, jade tablets and jade scrolls recording various profound arts and profound skills filled his entire field of vision.
"Inner Palace disciples can come to the Tai Xuan Hall once every two months and choose up to two profound arts or profound skills. Within one month, regardless of whether they have fully comprehended them, they must return them."
Sikong Du took a few steps forward, stood in front of a jade shelf, and gestured, "Yun Che, you're quite lucky. Our Cangfeng Mystic Palace's unique profound art, the 'Tai Xuan Heart Sutra,' is still here and hasn't been borrowed by any other Inner Palace disciples. Since you're new to the Inner Palace, the first thing you should take is this one! Cultivating the Tai Xuan Heart Sutra can greatly enhance your ability to control profound force. Once you reach a sufficiently high realm, challenging those above your level will be an easy task. Moreover, most of our Mystic Palace's unique profound skills require the Tai Xuan Heart Sutra as a foundation to be executed. Besides this 'Tai Xuan Heart Sutra' which is a must-choose, you can also choose another sufficiently powerful profound skill."
Yun Che walked over to Sikong Du, picked up the "Tai Xuan Heart Sutra," briefly probed its ability attributes and content with his profound force, then put it down and began browsing other jade tablets and jade scrolls. Sikong Du frowned but didn't say anything. Faced with so many profound arts and profound skills, but only being able to choose two, one naturally had to be as careful as possible when comparing and selecting. He remembered that when he first entered this place, he was stunned for a long time, unable to come back to his senses, and then spent an entire day picking before leaving excitedly.
But he was sure that after much comparison, Yun Che would definitely come back to choose that "Tai Xuan Heart Sutra."
Yun Che moved from one jade shelf to another. Every time he picked up a jade scroll, he only gave it a brief glance before hurriedly putting it down. The longest one only stayed in his hand for about five or six breaths. After nearly an hour, Yun Che still hadn't made any choice.
"Yun Che, are your eyes dazzled by all the choices? It's fine, take your time looking. Back then, your senior brother spent an entire day picking." Sikong Du said understandingly.
Yun Che nodded and walked toward the next jade shelf. This shelf was right next to the east wall. As he walked over, he caught sight of a half-person-tall bamboo basket placed in the corner. The basket was stuffed haphazardly with crumpled jade scrolls. They were clearly also profound skill scrolls, but the aura they emitted was extremely faint.
"Brother Sikong, what's in here?" Yun Che pointed at the bamboo basket.
"Oh! Those are various profound skills that the Cangfeng Mystic Palace has obtained over the years from all over the empire through various means. Some with decent power are kept on the first or second floor, and a very small number are left on the third floor. But some folk trashy profound skills of too low a grade and with too poor power, even if placed on the first floor, no one would spare them a second glance. So some time ago, the elder in charge of the Tai Xuan Hall picked out these folk profound skills that were too garbage and unwanted by anyone. Originally, they were supposed to be thrown away or destroyed, but it seems they were forgotten after being tossed there."
"Oh?" Yun Che responded, then walked straight toward the bamboo basket. He casually picked up a few jade scrolls recording what Sikong Du called "folk trashy profound skills" and flipped through them. After putting one down, he picked up another, then a third, a fourth...
When Yun Che walked toward the bamboo basket, Sikong Du had a bad feeling. Because based on his various previous actions, Sikong Du had already concluded that no matter how outrageous the thing was, this guy was capable of doing it.
Sure enough, not disappointing Sikong Du, Yun Che took out two jade scrolls from the bamboo basket and said, "Alright, I'll choose these two. Brother Sikong, let's go."
"Flame Fist," "Fire Cloud Palm"...
Seeing the names of these two profound skills, Sikong Du almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Finally throwing all decorum and composure to the wind, he burst into a scolding: "Yun Che!! Is there water in your head?! Your challenge to Murong Yi, I can't do anything about. Your choice of a heavy sword no one would choose, I can reluctantly accept... but what the hell do you mean by choosing two trashy profound skills?! Flame Fist and Fire Cloud Palm... Dammit! These are simply two low-grade profound skills that can't get any lower! Anyone who knows a bit of fire-type profound art and can transform profound force into flame, even a three-year-old child, can master them proficiently in half an hour! Their power is the worst of the worst! Do you even need to choose such profound skills here at the Tai Xuan Hall? You could go to any random merchant outside and buy a pound of them for a single Green Mysterious Coin!"
Yun Che quickly waved his hands and said with an apologetic smile, "Brother Sikong, please calm down. It just so happens that I have a fire-type profound art, so I chose two fire-type profound skills. I think they should suit me very well."
"Suit you, my ass!" Sikong Du pointed behind him and said, "There aren't many fire-type profound skills here, but there are still dozens! Over there, 'Disaster Profound Flame,' 'Sun Finger,' 'Soul-Burning Fist'... any one of them is a hundred times stronger than what you have in your hands!"
"But I think these two suit me better. Because they seem very easy to learn."
Yun Che's answer made Sikong Du almost choke and faint from holding his breath.
"Now that I've chosen both my weapon and profound skills, please trouble Brother Sikong to take me to my residence." Yun Che put away "Flame Fist" and "Fire Cloud Palm," and said with a straight face.
Sikong Du's mouth twitched. He couldn't be bothered to say another word and, as Yun Che wished, led him away from the Tai Xuan Hall, heading straight to the residence arranged for Yun Che.
The Cangfeng Mystic Palace naturally wouldn't be stingy with the residences for Inner Palace disciples. When Yun Che saw the house before him, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised. The room was unexpectedly spacious, and it even came with an elegant little courtyard. All the necessary living facilities were available in the room, and even the bedding was woven from high-quality silk.
Every Inner Palace disciple was someone even the Cangfeng Imperial Clan would cordially invite, so naturally, they wouldn't be treated poorly.
"This is your residence. I live at Courtyard No. 41. If you need anything, you can come find me anytime. Also, your cultivation room at the Ju Xuan Pill facility is No. 101. A corresponding profound force imprint has been planted in your body, so only you can enter that place. You can go there anytime to train in peace. Also, don't forget to go to the Inner Palace's Profound Pill Pavilion every seven days to collect ten Mid Recover Profound Pills, three Bone Forging Pills, and two Small Reverting Heaven Pills. Also, here in the Inner Palace, if you encounter other Inner Palace disciples, absolutely avoid any conflict. Because anyone here is someone you can't afford to provoke."
"The Mystic Palace places no restrictions on the freedom of Inner Palace disciples. You can move freely among the Outer, Middle, and Inner Palaces, and you can leave the Mystic Palace anytime... if you're willing to waste your cultivation time here in the Inner Palace."
After explaining what needed to be explained, Sikong Du didn't linger and left directly. He was now becoming more and more certain that Yun Che either had a problem with his brain or was simply crazy.
Half an hour later, Sikong Du appeared before Qin Wushang, who was sitting across from Qin Wuyou, leisurely sipping tea.
"Is everything settled?" Qin Wushang asked with a chuckle.
"Yes, disciple has settled Yun Che properly. However..." Sikong Du's expression was conflicted, almost unable to bear speaking.
"However what?" Qin Wushang looked at him askance.
"At the Heaven Armory, he chose that Overlord Giant Sword."
"Oh?" Qin Wushang showed surprise and looked questioningly at Qin Wuyou. "Is this young lad proficient in heavy swords?"
"No!" Qin Wuyou shook his head. "As far as I know, he is not proficient in using any weapons. As for why he chose that heavy sword, it really is quite strange. But based on my understanding of him, he is definitely not the kind of reckless person who would simply value the highest grade of the Overlord Giant Sword. By the way, Sikong Du, which profound art and which two profound skills did he choose?"
"He didn't choose any profound art." Sikong Du took a deep breath before furrowing his brows and saying, "Instead, he chose two profound skills: 'Flame Fist' and 'Fire Cloud Palm.'"
"Pfft!"
Qin Wushang and Qin Wuyou both spat out the tea in their mouths... spraying each other's faces.
