◎ How to Wake Up a Sleeping Person ◎
In the book house, Lin Shuang was puzzled.
The observing disciples were even more confused.
\[How did she find out? Twenty years ago, when I passed through, I was completely unaware……\]
\[Me too. During the 195 days in the book house, I repeated each day and woke up to nothing, but I couldn’t break free, nor did I notice anything unusual.\]
\[As an outer disciple, does she have some kind of spiritual treasure?\]
Lin Shuang’s spiritual treasure was herself.
In the projection array, she had no idea that she had caused astonishment in the sales office and among the senior brothers and sisters watching.
She simply repeated the actions of the previous day.
She still chose to cultivate the “Returning Sword Technique,” just as before.
However, the exhaustion of Dantian No. 6 on duty, something she hadn’t experienced in two or three months, made her keenly aware.
“This double soreness, like doing abdominal exercises yesterday and doing them again today… How did this happen?”
Lin Shuang now had ninety-seven dantians in her body, coexisting peacefully, each taking a turn on duty.
So, there shouldn’t be Dantian No. 6 running low on energy so easily.
After Lin Shuang’s confusion, she first suspected her dantian.
She immediately switched to the seventh dantian and found that the feeling of fatigue disappeared.
The seventh dantian was in a state of full spirit and energy.
But Dantian No. 6’s spirit and work attitude were lacking.
Something was wrong.
“If it’s not someone robbing me of my memory, then is it that I remembered it wrong myself?”
This was crucial; it would affect the scheduling of her subsequent dantian duties!
Frowning, Lin Shuang opened her diary scroll.
Fortunately, she was well-prepared and had recorded everything.
\[December 22nd\]
\[Entered Zhenchuan
…
4 Entered, ah, I’m dead (Dantian No. 5 on duty, consumed to 20%, too exhausted, fell asleep early)
5 Entered the Library of Ten Thousand Volumes, to be continued
…\]
“!”
Lin Shuang frowned. In the Library of Ten Thousand Volumes, it was indeed Dantian No. 6’s turn on duty.
That’s right.
Originally, there was nothing to do in the outer sect, one dantian per day.
But after coming to Zhenchuan, she had consumed a lot.
A project for each dantian.
Now it was No. 6’s turn.
The diary matched her memory.
Dantians wouldn’t lie.
So, the soreness in Dantian No. 6 had only one explanation.
Lin Shuang raised her head, her clear gaze seeming to penetrate the high walls of the book house.
“Stole my memory, tampered with my diary?”
\[!\]
\[Junior Sister is on high alert!\]
\[She has discovered the truth and is so certain, without any hesitation in her speculation.\]
\[So, does anyone know what she means by the energetic Number Six? Number Six’s fatigue?\]
\[Hmm? I heard it was Number Six Pipa.\]
\[Number Six snoring???]
A bunch of Zhenchuan high-ranking senior brothers and sisters who had been silently peeking at the screen finally couldn’t help but speak out, amused and confused by Lin Shuang.
Soon, they were bewildered by the auditory illusions of the Zhenchuan trial.
\[It seems that this is important information for passing through. Zhenchuan believes that once it is announced, disciples will easily pass.\]
\[She looked at me outside the projection with questioning eyes, as if staring at me—I actually feel a bit scared.\]
\[Me too.\]
Senior Sister’s gaze is sharp!
Zhao Keran fell in love with this ‘housing management’ job; she looked at the seniors’ speeches and felt exceptionally proud.
“Senior Uncle, Senior Sister will pass soon, right?”
“This second-day cycle in the book house should have two more hours, there’s still time.”
Zhao Keran thought so, but soon she saw that the pink-robed Senior Sister’s gaze was not relaxed, but rather somewhat serious as she looked at the projection.
She glanced sideways, holding her breath involuntarily.
In the projection, Lin Shuang, who was in the inner room, got up from the bed and walked towards the outer room where Meng Zi and Huangfu Yuan were practicing sword and alchemy respectively.
\[She’s going to wake them up!\]
\[Experiencing it firsthand, I, a high-level Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, I’m very nervous. Are they about to pass??\]
\[Exciting. A hundred years ago, in this book house of suffering, it would have been great if someone had woken me up!\]
But in an instant, when Lin Shuang walked to the middle of the two rooms, the screen suddenly came alive!
Countless towering mountains, drifting clouds, and flowing water.
When Lin Shuang stepped forward, it was as if she was blocked by a towering mountain.
Outside, even Meng Zi and Huangfu Yuan, who were standing in front of her, seemed not to see her at all.
Lin Shuang’s gaze flickered, her steps stopped, and she tentatively reached out.
But it was like touching a towering mountain, unable to make any progress.
The hand she reached out, clenched into a fist in the air for a moment.
“Huangfu—”
Lin Shuang opened her lips, but her lips moved, and no sound came out.
She frowned and tried again.
“Meng—”
As if muted, she couldn’t shout.
In the outer room, Meng Zi and Huangfu Yuan, only three or four steps away from her, seemed to be separated by a mountain.
She had no expression, looking at the mountain and sea screen in front of her, only to see the characters appear.
—Read ten thousand volumes.
—To know is to know, not to know is not to know.
—Prohibition in this room: You can never wake up someone who reads little.
Lin Shuang’s eyebrows twitched.
\[This screen is drawn by Qianshan Wanshui’s ink! It can isolate two places, as if thousands of miles apart!\]
\[Is the difficulty really 1,200 level?\]
\[Thinking about it, I was so lucky to choose a simple cultivation method in the book house back then.\]
The speaking disciples were all sympathizing with Lin Shuang.
Behind the sales jade table in the resting cave, Zhao Keran looked a bit depressed.
The pink-robed woman glanced at her,
“In Zhenchuan, with three people in a team, there is cooperation, of course, individual abilities are also tested. No one can cheat their way through.”
“Can you rely on others in the outer sect?”
Zhao Keran bit her lip.
But in the tea cup in the hands of the pink-robed woman, there were ripples.
In the unseen places, faint patterns were emerging.
\[Disciple triggered the Book House Treasure: Screen of a Thousand Mountains and Waters.\]
\[Difficulty increased. If the disciple passes this level, the time is halved, and the rewards are doubled.\]
\[Triggered disciple: Lin Shuang. If she advances to the Foundation Building stage, she will have an additional opportunity to re-enter the Library of Ten Thousand Books.\]
The woman in pink forced herself to stay calm before placing the tea down.
It had been many years since such rewards were seen.
Lin Shuang, Outer sect, Qi Refining Realm.
She looked at Lin Shuang’s figure in the projection, her admiration barely concealed.
But soon, looking at Meng Zi and Huang Fu Yuan, she shook her head.
“It will soon be nightfall, and it’s time for the moment of forgetfulness again.”
“They are about to fall into a predicament again. Leaving only her knowing the truth is useless.”
Zhao Keran also felt helpless.
But as soon as she finished speaking, the pink-robed woman’s eyes froze.
A familiar question and answer came from the projection.
“What is the punishment for receiving criticism?”
\[!\]
“Consulting Question 1 or 2… What to do if cultivation is slow?”
Everything was as it used to be. Meng Zi seemed to see Lin Shuang practicing rapidly yesterday and had the same question today.
The talisman-like Xiao Ai automatically replied.
“Ding, Xiao Ai has connected Xiao Qi’s messaging stone for you. He has partially grasped a method for rapid learning—”
\[Good gracious!\]
\[I actually forgot about their ‘yesterday’ matter!\]
\[Hahaha, the ‘Meng Zi’ looping in, still asking the same question! The communication between disciples in the Mountain and Sea Sect is amazing! \]
\[Can the Screen of a Thousand Mountains and Waters block Lin Shuang in the same room and still block the Mountain and Sea Sect disciples from answering?\]
\[Breakthrough is in sight!\]
\[Quick, quick, quick, Xiao Qi from the Mountain and Sea Sect outer sect, hurry and tell them, they asked the same question yesterday.\]
Unlike these three, Xiao Qi from the Mountain and Sea Sect was awake!
He was still outside the Zhenchuan trial!
“Impressive, Senior Sister.”
Outside the projection array, Zhao Keran was amazed. “Senior Sister taught me how to break through long ago, and there’s not just one way!”
“Stay in touch with friends, keep a daily journal, set the fastest contact, and automatic responses.”
“The second approach to this level was written by Senior Sister in ‘The Fastest Learning’!”
The pink-robed woman’s mouth twitched.
“Heh.”
Her mockery was profound.
In an instant, Xiao Qi’s reply in the projection array dealt a heavy blow to Zhao Keran.
“Huh? Senior Brother Meng, Senior Brother Huangfu? Weren’t you guys—”
In the projection, both Huangfu Yuan and Meng Zi wore expressions of confusion.
But soon, a harsh, buzzing sound covered Xiao Qi’s strange counter-question.
“Zhenchuan’s spiritual energy is unstable. Please wait—”
“Automatic repair of the communication is in progress…”
After a pause of four or five breaths, a cheerful and noble voice sounded.
“Hey? Sister Lin Shuang, right? You finally have time to ask me for a fat-burning exercise!”
“Uh, Sister, don’t go. Lend me your sword to mortgage to the Clearwater Sect—”
‘Today’ Meng Zi and Huangfu Yuan listened to these words and twitched at the corners of their eyes, just like ‘yesterday’.
“Let me tell you, Sister Lin, I have already practiced the Golden Technique to—”
\[Are the Mountain and Sea Sect disciples affected too?\]
\[No, Zhenchuan Mountain Tower is treacherous and cunning. It blocked his real communication and reproduced his ‘yesterday’ answers!\]
\[…\]
All the projected text was helpless.
This was the disciples’ helplessness in the face of assessments.
Everything was at the discretion of the examiners.
Zhao Keran sat down angrily, wiping all the jade plaques in front of her with great force.
The woman in pink pressed her eyebrows.
Another long-lost dark pattern appeared between her management jade plaques.
\[Disciple triggered Book House Treasure 2: Replication Mirror.\]
\[Difficulty increased. If the disciple passes this level, the time is halved, and the rewards are doubled.\]
\[Triggered disciple: Lin Shuang. When advancing to the Foundation Building stage, she will have an additional opportunity to re-enter the Library of Ten Thousand Books.\]
The pink-robed woman: “…”
Here it comes again!
\[Huangfu Yuan and Meng Zi, due to being obstructed twice, if they can spontaneously perceive the mist of the library and break out of the cycle, they will also receive an additional reward, a chance to enter the Library of Ten Thousand Books.\]
How was that possible?
Did they think the Replication Mirror and Cloud Mountain Mist were low-level spiritual treasures that anyone could break free from?
For a hundred years, very few disciples had discovered anomalies.
What this level tested was not the disciple’s ability to break out of the cycle but their mentality to perceive their strengths and avoid their weaknesses!
Only by choosing a suitable cultivation method could they successfully comprehend before sunset and leave the mist in the Library of Ten Thousand Books.
\[Library of Ten Thousand Books, Wu Xing… opened on the 173rd day.\]
\[Library of Ten Thousand Books 2, Chen Mu… on the 321st day…\]
\[Library of Ten Thousand Books 18, Yun He… on the 192nd day…\]
Projections of disciples in various predicaments in the Library floated.
“It’s all about obsession.”
The woman in pink shook her head.
“The nature of the dantian and divine sense varies from person to person. Cultivation methods are like cave dwellings; being greedy for the high-level ones is useless, only seeking what suits you.”
Zhao Keran hesitated to speak.
“This Meng Zi, unfathomably foolish. He insisted on choosing the most expensive knife technique. How could he learn it before sunset?”
“Huangfu Yuan is even more absurd. He doesn’t even know a first-level pill, exploded the furnace three times, and doesn’t know to change his cultivation method!”
“Ridiculous! Blind to oneself, only seeing temptation. How can you pass this?”
The woman in pink scolded with a stern face.
Thinking about how the three of them had rejected her eight hundred cave dwellings just now made her scold even more vigorously.
As much ability as one has, one should live in the appropriate cave mansion!
Being picky.
Having lofty ambitions but low skills, in the Library, they would be immersed in the cycle of practicing without reaching the second level.
“No way.”
Zhao Keran’s lips moved, looking at the cross-legged Lin Shuang in the projection, her eyes staring blankly.
The woman in pink was taken aback and shook her head.
“Even if she masters some kind of pyramid, she learns alone, but the other two will forget and continue to restart.”
\[Ah, look at Meng Zi, he seems to have found out!\]
\[Huh? Huangfu Senior Brother seems to have too!\]
The woman in pink: “???”
She suddenly turned her head to look at Zhao Keran, only to see her also looking confused.
Immediately, she activated the jade slip and rewound the projection of Lin Shuang and the others!
In the projection, the mountain-sea screen that separated Lin Shuang’s steps seemed like an insurmountable predicament, like a heavy mountain, making it hard to breathe.
At this moment, on the two beds in the outer room, Huangfu Yuan and Meng Zi were still pondering the learning pyramid that Xiao Qi had mentioned in his message just now.
They didn’t notice that they had tried it once already.
Now they were still a bit skeptical.
“Village Chief,” Meng Zi took out the carved totem from his arms, “you haven’t seen it before, right? This is the ‘Thirteen Blades of Mountain and Sea.'”
\[You’ve already shown it to him! But you’ve forgotten. Wake up!\]
The projection spoke anxiously.
But Meng Zi smiled, seemingly oblivious, placed the totem on the table, and then opened the manual.
“The first layer of the knife is like my body.”
Meng Zi paused there, grinning, “Village Chief, did I not tell you? This cultivation method is worth eight thousand spirit stones!”
\[You told him once already! Help!\]
Zhao Keran also followed the words of the projection, muttering to herself.
She wished she could rush into Zhenchuan, but she saw Meng Zi’s smug smile in the projection, and suddenly she was stunned.
“I have never obtained such a precious cultivation method—huh?”
He suddenly lowered his head, his joyful expression somewhat suspicious. He flipped through the knife manual again, then picked it up.
“Eight thousand spirit stones, is this fake?”
\[?\]
\[??\]
‘Present-day’ Meng Zi touched his chest and frowned.
“Something’s wrong. Touching a technique worth eight thousand spirit stones, why am I not as happy as I imagined? This is the first time I’ve obtained it. According to my past self, I should be ecstatic, right?”
\[!\]
Meanwhile, in the Library, another displeased voice soon sounded. “This is not right. Why do I have a repulsive feeling towards this alchemy technique? I always feel a faint smell of burning around it.”
Huangfu Yuan crossed his legs, his phoenix eyes squinting, looking at the ‘Poisonous Camphor Pill Technique’ in his hand.
\[!\]
\[!!\]
【Spiritual awareness is keen, sensing danger? Yesterday, he exploded the stove three times. If he comes again today, he’s afraid he’ll explode it again.】
【It is said that those with powerful spiritual awareness will be warned in their sea of consciousness.】
【It seems that before his realm declined, he was indeed an extremely talented individual!】
In the projection, Lin Shuang had already opened her eyes from the bed, seeming to sense something unusual.
She stood up and approached.
This time, there was no Thousand Mountains and Myriad Rivers Screen to stop her.
She smiled at them, “Have you also noticed?”
Meng Zi and Huangfu Yuan both showed suspicious expressions, looking at her, and standing up solemnly.
“It seems like we’ve lost some memories.”
“It seems that we’ve been repeatedly trapped here.”
In an instant, it seemed like the mist of the Library dispersed.
The gazes of the three were like sharp swords, piercing towards the projection.
【… Amazing.】
【While others in the Foundation Establishment Realm are still going back and forth, these three have already broken through!】
【In a hundred years, probably no more than five people can perceive anomalies in the Library.】
【These three are probably not ordinary in the future!】
An old voice echoed in the library.
“Congratulations. Perceiving through the illusion, seeing oneself.”
” I read thousands of books in the fog, but when I rise, I’m still an ordinary person.”
“As a reward for passing this level, your time and rewards will be doubled, and each of you will obtain the qualification to enter the Library of Ten Thousand Books again! After breaking through, you can check the rewards in the resting cave!”
In the resting cave.
Zhao Keran’s eyes flickered as she looked at the projection, wiping all the cave jade slips in an instant.
She immediately took out “The Fastest Way to Learn” and flipped through the pages.
Lowering her head to check, she murmured, “So the additional answers to this question were already hidden in the book my senior sister gave me—”
Pink-robed Senior Sister: “…………”
Why didn’t she believe it, “Is this also written?”
“Well, in the ‘The Fastest Way to Learn’ Friendship Chapter, it says, ‘Be cautious in making friends. Friends to a certain extent will help you on the right path, or lead you astray.'”
“Senior sister met a good friend.”
“!”
The challenge in the Library of Ten Thousand Books continued.
Lin Shuang closed her eyes, then reopened them, and the Fire Eye Golden Vision technique operated at full speed.
Soon, her eyes turned red, and tears almost welled up.
“The bed has no formations, talismans, or related spiritual fluctuations.”
But as she spoke, she still took a step back, and Meng Zi’s Thunder Blade struck from the side.
In an instant, the bed curtains shattered.
Meng Zi sheathed his blade, “You probably rested on it using some tomato timer yesterday. It’s safer to destroy it.”
After speaking, he poured the tea table and the basin of spiritual water out of the window.
“I should have drunk tea yesterday as well.”
Huangfu Yuan, holding a silver-threaded hand stove, wandered in front of the bookshelf, his phoenix eyes inspecting, “I have handled three types of spiritual treasures at Rong Bao Pavilion that can make cultivators forget their memories.”
“Lost Mist Incense, Zhou Zhuang’s Dream Talisman, and Meng Po’s Water.”
As he spoke, he searched through the bookshelf.
Meng Zi nodded, “The incense burner has also been thrown outside.” As he spoke, he looked at the silver-threaded hand stove in Huangfu Yuan’s hand, with a strong intention to throw it out.
Huangfu Yuan: “…This is worth fifty thousand spirit stones.”
Meng Zi, carrying the blade, turned around.
“Ah, it’s indeed a good stove.”
“Senior brother Huangfu, whenever you don’t want it, consider giving it to me…”
Huangfu Yuan cleared his throat and opened and closed the scrolls, checking each one.
Lin Shuang’s eyes flickered, “How long can cultivators forget their past using items that make them forget?”
After the original body died, she came into this world, not remembering anything from the past.
“Don’t worry, junior sister. At most, three days. It won’t have a lasting impact if you don’t stay in it for too long.”
That’s a relief.
Lin Shuang sat down with a satisfied “oh.”
But soon, she blinked, “If we still haven’t found a way to dispel the forgetfulness tonight, we’ll start over very soon.”
Alternate plans must be considered to deal with what comes next.
“If it continues like this tomorrow, shall we switch to a simpler cultivation technique?”
Lin Shuang suggested, then fell into a daze.
Rebound Sword Technique was indeed wonderful, and she was reluctant to give it up.
“Uh, Thirteen Blades, uh,” Meng Zi’s face showed pain, and it was worth eight thousand spirit stones, but he gave up, “Thirteen Blades, actually quite simple?”
Huangfu Yuan held the elixir recipe in his hand, looking at the words ‘First Tier,’ and fell into silence.
The first-tier elixir recipe was indeed simple.
The three hesitated, reluctant to give up what they loved.
After a short pause, the moonlight outside the window, like white silk, gradually enveloped the library.
They were once again swallowed by darkness in an instant.
【It has begun!】
【Today, destroy everything in the house. If you don’t forget by tomorrow, you can continue learning the cultivation techniques from today.】
【Why are they so persistent?】
【Clearly breaking through the illusion and choosing the simplest cultivation technique is the fastest!】
The higher-level disciples watching the three breaking through didn’t even notice that their mental states were subtly changing.
From the beginning, they thought Lin Shuang, the outer disciple, Meng Zi, who loved money without any principles, and the frail Huangfu Yuan couldn’t possibly succeed in leaving the library… to now, hoping that they could break through and leave.
Senior Sister in the pink robe, looking at these words, couldn’t help shaking her head.
Soon, the “third day” in the library arrived in an instant.
Sunlight penetrated the window of the Library for a moment.
The three woke up like from a dream, showing three bewildered faces under everyone’s expectations.
“Is this the Library of a Thousand Scrolls?”
【Darn it!】
【Forgot again?!】
But in an instant, the three of them, in their confusion, all trembled.
Their gazes gradually cleared.
Lin Shuang frowned, pressing her stomach, “My No. 6 is vaguely nauseous. I’ve been on duty for at least two days?”
【!】
“I…” Meng Zi opened his eyes, and unexpectedly, his eye sockets turned red.
He covered his heart in pain, bent over for a moment, and struggled to breathe.
“All the cultivation methods in the room not only don’t make me happy but also make me so sad as if I’ve lost some treasures. At least so much pain for losing two treasures!”
【!】
Huangfu Yuan’s phoenix eyes flickered. Unable to bear it, he took out a handkerchief to cover his nose. “Why is the burnt smell so pungent—like staying in an alchemy room for two days, the stench is nauseating.”
Expressionless, his index finger and thumb picked up his green mustard pouch.
Huangfu Yuan: “…But I haven’t been to the alchemy room in a long time.”
【!】
“So, I forgot.”
Huangfu Yuan’s phoenix eyes flickered as he looked at his hands, a look of disdain on his face.
Dirty.
“I chose an alchemy technique not long ago and blew up the furnace?”
“The feeling of losing something precious…”
Meng Zi raised his head in pain and looked at the wall of books.
“At least twice here!”
Lin Shuang’s expression turned ugly, “Who stole two days of my time?”
The three walked to a spot and looked at each other.
“We’ve been stuck here for at least two days. I should have noticed it yesterday when I was exhausted,” Lin Shuang nodded to them.
“If I found out yesterday, I would have taken action,” Meng Zi covered his painful chest.
He couldn’t bear to forget the expensive cultivation technique!
“But why are we still here today—”
Huangfu Yuan squinted his phoenix eyes.
“Our attempts yesterday all failed?”
【…Impressive.】
【Respect.】
Huangfu Yuan once again walked to the bookshelf he suspected the most, “If I had found something unusual yesterday, I should have told you already. “Lost Mist Incense, Zhou Zhuang’s Dream Talisman, and Meng Po’s Water, these three items may make cultivators forget their past.”
Lin Shuang nodded, scanning the room.
Soon, she located the most conspicuous bed, “We ‘yesterday’ should have already destroyed all suspicious items.”
“Spirit tea, water basin, incense burner, body-touching cushion, bed… these obvious things.”
Meng Zi, in pain, covered his chest, “I cut them all into pieces. These items cost me several thousand spirit stones!”
Huangfu Yuan chuckled, “So—none of these.”
【!】
【Meng Zi, who loves money, Huangfu Yuan, who dislikes alchemy, Lin Shuang, tired and snoring. After this, even if you go up another five hundred levels, I want to follow and watch the projection!】
This message had just scrolled across the projection screen.
Huangfu Yuan’s phoenix eyes swept across the room, all the inconspicuous places.
Finally, the gazes of Huangfu Yuan and Lin Shuang fell in one place.
Both reached out.
Pointing to the most expensive blade technique that Meng Zi was guarding with his life— the entire wall.
The ink on it, from light to dense, changed again and again when they entered.
Countless cultivation methods, walls, books, and rice paper… ink was everywhere.
“Smoke-inducing incense can dissolve in water,” Huangfu Yuan spoke.
Lin Shuang nodded, “Naturally, it can also be among the ink treasures.”
Meng Zi, carrying a large knife, turned to look at the white wall covered in black ink, a moment of regret, then suddenly realization.
The myriad cultivation methods were so precious.
Even if they discovered abnormalities upon entering as disciples and sensed the presence of Smoke-Inducing Incense, they were unwilling to destroy it immediately upon discovery.
Slightly hesitating, they had inhaled the bewitching incense, and by the next day, the cycle repeated, causing them to forget everything!
“This Elder in charge of the level… you’re so cunning!”
Meng Zi took a deep breath, then swung his knife towards the wall after putting it on his back, enduring the pain.
Lin Shuang activated her Water Spirit Art, washing away the shattered wall.
Huangfu Yuan ignited spiritual flames between his fingers, burning all the bookshelves.
“Wait, is it okay for us to destroy it like this? What if we get fined!”
Only then did Meng Zi, who had shattered the wall and bookshelves, remember.
A cold sweat ran down him.
“I can’t afford to pay.”
Lin Shuang: “…”
Isn’t it too late to bring this up now?
She stood in the ruins, turned to look at him, and said, “Isn’t it supposed to be like this here? Senior Meng, what are you talking about?”
【Pfft—my spirit tea!】
【… Lin Shuang from the Outer Sect, I remember you.】
Huangfu Yuan chuckled, walked out of the ruins, and wiped his fingers.
“No worries, I blew up the alchemy furnace before, but now it’s still intact.”
Meng Zi and Lin Shuang both breathed a sigh of relief.
【Hehe, the Elder in charge of maintaining Zhenchuan is probably crying now.】
Outside the projection, the pink-robed senior in the resting cave clenched and released her fists repeatedly.
“Ah—these three bastards!”
In the now-ruined Myriad Scrolls Library, moonlight did not descend.
There was no forgetting and no restarts.
Lin Shuang and the others practiced for three days each, gradually comprehending the techniques to the second level.
【Book Pavilion cleared: Lin Shuang, Meng Zi, Huangfu Yuan.】
【Time spent: 7 days, becoming the fastest Level Master in a hundred years, rated A+.】
【Triggered all hidden spiritual treasures in the library, rated A+.】
【All rewards doubled, tripled, and doubled again!】
【Can go to the Resting Scenery Court to check.】
Lin Shuang and the others simultaneously opened their eyes.
The third beast head, the symbol of a Level Master emblem, appeared on their chest, like an exquisite embroidery.
At the same time, three leaves with a hint of ink fragrance slowly fell into the library.
—The Zhenchuan Leaves!
Author’s Note:
《Master Zhao’s Notes 25》: “Resting yesterday, today my inspiration surges like a spring. I can write a few more notes, talking about the Zhenchuan Book Pavilion…”
—A disciple who bought this note a hundred years later, excitedly flipped the page, only to find it was a blank page: “??? Where’s the rest? Master Zhao said he would write a bit more!”
—Zhao Keran: Just making a little joke~ I tricked you, hahaha. Rested yesterday, entertainment schedule is today.
—Disciple: …
