Lin Feng's heart gave a jolt.
With this many books, would he be searching until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse? Finding books about immortal herbs in a short time seemed utterly impossible.
Beside him, Flender had also never entered a library of this caliber before. The seemingly endless collection of texts left him thoroughly stunned.

Zhong Bo waved a hand, a kindly smile on his face, his voice steady and strong.

"What sort of books are you looking for? Let's see whether this old man can help."
Lin Feng's eyes lit up. He hurried a step forward and asked:
"Zhong Bo, where can I find records of special Martial Souls like Nine Heart Begonia
