(Pre-Reading Notice: This book spans countless worlds and contains far too many elements.)

Cangyuan Palace

One of the three top sects in Central Province.

As a great sect with a long legacy, one of Cangyuan Palace's most renowned foundations was its collection of books.

Countless independent cultivators and outer sect disciples dreamed of entering Cangyuan Palace's library to seek their own opportunities.

Unfortunately, such chances barely existed.

Unless one was an inner sect disciple, no one could step within half a step of the library.

As for the inner sect library, a saying circulated throughout Cangyuan Palace: "Even if you did nothing but turn pages, you would never finish turning them all."

Due to the library's exceptional status and vast collection, many inner sect disciples came to visit every day. But if they arrived late, they could only stare longingly from outside the doors.

Of course, that referred to the inner sect library.

The outer sect library was a completely different matter.

One word apart, a thousand miles apart.

Outer Sect Library.

At the entrance to the library, an old man rested with his eyes closed. An air of decay clung to him, and an indescribable scent spread from his body, lingering without end.

Other than him, there was no one inside or outside the doors. It was so quiet that it made people want to sleep.

Gu Yuan lay quietly on a bookshelf near the entrance, feeling incomparably stiff. He could no longer remember how long it had been since he last moved. Perhaps a year. Perhaps three years had already passed.

I'm dying, I'm dying.

Is anyone there? Where the hell did everyone go?

Since he had nothing better to do every day, Gu Yuan wanted to shout a few times. But then he suddenly remembered that he did not even have a mouth, and his already stiff body grew even stiffer.

His eyes brimmed with tears—oh, no, in his current state, Gu Yuan could not shed tears either.

In any case, he just lay there, filled with endless melancholy.

Gu Yuan was, in fact, a genuine transmigrator. Although he did not know how or why he had transmigrated, the result was right before him.

Clearly, he really had transmigrated.

It was just that his situation after transmigrating was rather different from everyone else's.

In most novels, the protagonist either transmigrated into a human or a demon. If they were lucky, they might even become an innate lifeform.

But why had he transmigrated into a Qi Refining Formula?

And it was a Qi Refining Formula in the outer sect library, one that no one even bothered to flip through.

At first, Gu Yuan had thought he could cultivate through himself. Perhaps he might even become a spirit or something in the end.

But after a while, he realized that he did not even have meridians, much less a physical body. He could not store spiritual energy either. He was nothing but a few sheets of paper—cultivate his ass.

Thus, the days passed one after another.

He lay on the bookshelf, idling away his days, and no one even dusted him off.

He could only hope that, as time passed, perhaps some spiritual energy might one day pour into him and trigger a qualitative change.

That old man is way too lazy. A Golden Core cultivator sleeps every day and never gets any exercise or even dusts the shelves. Sooner or later, he'll die in that chair.

Although Gu Yuan had no eyes, he could still see the outside world. Looking toward the entrance, he silently mocked the old man.

Perhaps it was Heaven's compensation for him. Though he could not cultivate, he could see some of other people's information at a glance.

After some trial and error, he had barely managed to form something resembling a low-level system panel for easier viewing.

[Name: Sun Changping]

[Realm: Mid-stage Golden Core]

[Identity: Elder of Cangyuan Palace Outer Sect Library]

[Current Status: Using turtle-breathing to extend his lifespan...]

Well, he really was about to die.

"Elder."

Just as Gu Yuan was mocking him, a young man's voice suddenly came from outside the door. Judging from the voice, he did not sound like a familiar face.

A newcomer?

Gu Yuan was only happy for a second.

The moment disciples entered Cangyuan Palace's outer sect by passing the trials, someone would issue them a cultivation manual.

Even if his Qi Refining Formula were placed right under someone's nose, no one would spare it a second glance.

"Hm? A newcomer?"

Old Sun, lying in his chair, squeezed his eyes open into slits. He had no idea what he saw, but he recognized the other party's identity at a glance.

A newcomer?

It was not the season for recruiting disciples. Where had a new disciple come from at a time like this?

Though Old Sun was puzzled, he saw an outer sect disciple identity token hanging from the young man's waist.

There was no problem with his identity.

He glanced at the library token placed on a small stool and nodded.

"Go in. But you may only take one cultivation method."

Once Old Sun spoke, he stopped paying attention to the young man. He closed his eyes again to rest and continued extending his lifespan.

The instant he stepped into the outer sect library—

Gu Yuan obtained his information.

[Name: Fu Chengqin]

[Cultivation: Initial-stage Qi Refining]

[Identity: Outer sect disciple of Cangyuan Palace, son of the Third Elder of the inner sect]

[Current Status: Leisurely]

Fu Chengqin?

He was actually the son of an inner sect elder.

He just looked rather ordinary.

But...

What was the son of an inner sect elder doing in the outer sect scripture library? Was he pretending to be weak in the outer sect so he could crush everyone later?

Looking at Fu Chengqin's information, Gu Yuan did not feel much of an emotional stir. He simply watched him.

This kid had come here to play.

His demeanor did not look like that of someone searching for cultivation techniques or secret manuals. He was plainly just browsing around.

Then again, that made sense. What in the outer sect could possibly catch the eye of an inner sect elder's son?

He's coming toward me?

Gu Yuan watched as Fu Chengqin approached step by step, eventually stopping in front of the bookshelf.

Fu Chengqin's gaze swept over the shelf before him without lingering on any book. Clearly, none of them interested him.

"What a hassle."

Fu Chengqin's voice was faint, but Gu Yuan heard it clearly. There was some helplessness in his tone.

What's the hassle?

What's wrong with this kid?

How did someone so young end up with a mental illness that makes him talk to himself?

Before Gu Yuan could react, Fu Chengqin casually grabbed a cultivation manual after finishing his sentence, then turned and left.

Gu Yuan, who had been stiff for so long, suddenly discovered that his body was growing lighter and lighter. Even the dust on his cover had lessened considerably.

Taking a closer look—

Damn it, this kid picked me!

Held quietly in Fu Chengqin's hand, Gu Yuan felt the warmth of a human being for the first time in years. He did not know whether he should be happy or sad.

He had to admit, this rich second-generation kid had good taste. He had actually managed to pick him.

But then again—

He might be a Qi Refining Formula, but could anyone actually cultivate from him?

With that question in mind, Gu Yuan, who had sat on the library shelf for so long after transmigrating, finally saw the world beyond the library for the first time.

Those flowers sure are flowers.

Those trees sure are trees.

The air outside sure is air.

Still, looking at the scenery, it did not seem much different from Earth.
