First Visit to the Library Pavilion

"Really? For free?"

Upon hearing Bai Wenyang's words, Ye Qingxuan's face revealed disbelief.

Xuantian Sect's support for Blessed Cultivator Disciples was this generous?

Not only did they receive free double cultivation resources, but even all kinds of relevant knowledge and inheritances could be obtained for free?

But after giving it another thought, Ye Qingxuan understood Xuantian Sect's approach.

All Blessed Lands were located within the Xuantian Mountain Range. Once a Blessed Cultivator passed away, ownership of the Blessed Land would ultimately return to Xuantian Sect.

Xuantian Sect's early investment would eventually flow back into the Xuantian Mountain Range. In the end, the only beneficiary would be the master of the Xuantian Mountain Range—Xuantian Sect.

Blessed Cultivators were no more than tools!

But even so, Ye Qingxuan had to admit that Xuantian Sect's support for Blessed Cultivators was indeed exceptionally generous.

The key was that Xuantian Sect would not seize the benefits of Blessed Cultivator Disciples while they were alive. That alone was enough!

There was no kindness without reason. One accepted its favor in life and repaid its debt after death!

Ye Qingxuan did not resent Xuantian Sect's methods. In his eyes, this approach was already quite humane.

After learning that everything he wanted was in the Library Pavilion, Ye Qingxuan did not linger any longer and prepared to visit Xuantian Sect's Library Pavilion!

Before leaving, Ye Qingxuan deliberately purchased a batch of spirit herbs for First-order Qi Gathering Pills, Detoxification Pills, Qi Replenishing Pills, Grass Return Pills, and a whole series of Tier One Pills.

He only bought enough spirit herbs for ten batches of each pill—not much, since these pills were merely for him to practice with.

Although he had no use for these pills at the moment, trying his hand at refining other medicinal pills would ultimately help him on his future path of alchemy.

In any case, the Tier Five Alchemist inheritance his lineage had given him contained the pill recipes for all these medicinal pills, so there was no need to buy any pill recipes.

Once he mastered the methods of refining these pills, there would always come a time when they proved useful.

After leaving the marketplace, Ye Qingxuan learned the Library Pavilion's location from the disciple guarding the Teleportation Array. After riding the Teleportation Array and transferring several times, he finally arrived at the Library Pavilion!

Xuantian Sect's Library Pavilion had not been built atop any mountain peak!

The Library Pavilion's main body was itself a mountain peak. Xuantian Sect had merely hollowed out the mountain's interior and transformed it into an enormous library.

Standing before the Library Pavilion's gates, Ye Qingxuan felt as small as an ant.

Yet he was not shocked.

What a joke. Having come to the Dihuan Realm for so long, he was no longer the person he had once been.

A mere Library Pavilion was no longer enough to shock him.

After Ye Qingxuan calmly stepped through the Library Pavilion's gates, he found that its interior was even more spacious than he had imagined. Row after row of bookshelves stretched so high that their tops could not be seen, packed densely with books!

He casually picked up a book. Its texture felt exceptionally pleasant, as though it had been made from some special jade-like material.

Opening it, he found that its contents were merely a travel journal recorded by some Senior Brother while traveling outside.

Aside from the portion involving sect inheritances, the Library Pavilion's books contained almost everything under the sun.

Moreover, all these books were free. So long as they were not taken out of the Library Pavilion, anyone could copy them as they pleased.

The only requirement was that copied books could not be passed on to outsiders. After all, Xuantian Sect did not want books accumulated over successive generations to be easily stolen by outsiders, only to make wedding clothes for another!

Ye Qingxuan swept his gaze around and found people constantly coming and going. There were quite a few cultivators visiting the Library Pavilion.

"So idle? Doesn't everyone need to hurry up and cultivate?"

After silently mocking them in his heart, Ye Qingxuan began looking around.

Very quickly, Ye Qingxuan found the Library Pavilion's Management Office not far from the entrance!

As he approached, he saw a slovenly Elder dozing behind the Management Office counter, seemingly paying no attention whatsoever to anything in the Library Pavilion.

But Ye Qingxuan did not look down on the Elder before him. Instead, he took out his Disciple Token, held it in both hands, bowed, and respectfully said:

"Blessed Cultivator Courtyard Disciple Ye Qingxuan greets Elder! This disciple wishes to—"

Before he could finish speaking, the Elder, who had been napping, suddenly waved his hand. Ye Qingxuan instantly vanished from the original place.

"Always disturbing this old man's naps. Young people these days! They don't know how to cherish their elders at all!"

After saying that, the Elder turned over, changed positions, and continued dozing.

Somewhere within the Library Pavilion, Ye Qingxuan's figure suddenly appeared.

After his uncertainty faded, Ye Qingxuan gradually calmed down. Looking over the space, he found that he was the only person there.

Then Ye Qingxuan turned his gaze toward a bookshelf not far ahead of him.

Walking over and checking the catalogue of these books, he found that nearly all of them were related to Blessed Cultivators.

However, after flipping through them, Ye Qingxuan discovered that they mostly contained knowledge about spirit plants, spirit veins, Blessed Lands, and the like, without any accompanying techniques.

"No wonder these books related to Blessed Cultivators are kept in the Library Pavilion. They don't contain the sect's technique inheritances!"

Ye Qingxuan could not help feeling somewhat disappointed, but he soon shook his head and mocked himself.

"I'm getting greedy and never satisfied!"

After all, they were free, so he could not demand too much!

What Ye Qingxuan did not know was that the Library Pavilion contained more than just this one special space. They all housed books with relatively special or precious contents.

However, because the contents of these books were special or precious, reading thresholds had been established even though they were kept in the Library Pavilion.

For books in a space like the one Ye Qingxuan was in, aside from Blessed Cultivator Courtyard Disciples, one generally needed to be a Core Disciple or above to enter and read them.

Thus, the contents recorded in these books were not as cheap as Ye Qingxuan had imagined.

Within the space, Ye Qingxuan began patiently reading through the books.

He discovered that the vast majority of their contents concerned various methods for helping spirit veins advance, as well as introductions to spirit plants beneficial to Blessed Lands and matters requiring attention when cultivating them.

Spirit veins were the key to Blessed Lands. Only when a spirit vein advanced would a Blessed Land gradually advance as well. A First-grade Spirit Vein corresponded to a First-tier Blessed Land. Spirit veins and Blessed Lands were both classified from Tier One to Ten, matching each other one for one.

Regarding methods to help spirit land advance, the books emphasized three spirit plants: Spirit Gathering Grass, Spirit Purifying Trees, and Earth Spirit Flowers!

These three spirit plants could continue growing through cultivation by a Blessed Land.

Earth Spirit Flowers in particular were crucial. High-grade Earth Spirit Flowers could gather the Twelve Great Elemental Essences within the Dihuan Realm, making them the key to stabilizing a Blessed Land's interior and advancing it into a High-grade Blessed Land.

As for Spirit Gathering Grass and Spirit Purifying Trees, one could gather Spiritual Energy and accelerate a Blessed Land's growth, while the other could assist a spirit vein in purifying the Blessed Land's Negative Energy and preserving the purity of its Blessed Land Origin. Both could provide considerable aid to a Blessed Land's advancement!

This knowledge could fill in a Blessed Cultivator's foundational understanding, but how exactly a Blessed Land should develop still depended on the Blessed Cultivator's own plans.

After all, knowing the methods was one thing. Whether one could cultivate these spirit plants, and whether one could make them grow quickly enough to drive a Blessed Land's advancement, was another matter entirely.

After reading these books, Ye Qingxuan pondered briefly.

"Among the spirit herb seeds my lineage gave me are seeds for Spirit Gathering Grass and Earth Spirit Flowers. But Spirit Purifying Trees do not fall under the category of spirit herbs, so the seeds they gave me did not include Spirit Purifying Tree seeds!"

"However, Spirit Purifying Trees should not be difficult to obtain within Xuantian Sect!"

Who knew how many spirit plants had been born within the Xuantian Mountain Range? Xuantian Sect had occupied the Xuantian Mountain Range for so many years. Mere Spirit Purifying Tree seeds should not be precious within Xuantian Sect!

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan was not worried that he would be unable to find Spirit Purifying Tree seeds within Xuantian Sect!
