Read Ten Thousand Books and Travel Ten Thousand Miles

A long time.

The figure opened its eyes, its brows furrowing.

"How could this be? Who could have done this? Why couldn't we predict it at all?"

The figure looked around, then took a deep breath:

"Although I no longer need this Wind and Cloud Mountains and Rivers Fan, it has been with me the longest. To have it stolen so silently is no small matter."

"It seems we'll have to ask our senior brothers for help with this."

As the voice faded, the figure disappeared into the starry sky.

"Judging by the time, we should be able to bring Xiao Ye back around tomorrow."

Inside the house, Lu Changzhi focused his mind on his clone and made a rough estimate.

At this moment, Lu Changzhi noticed that Xiao Ye was not cultivating, but standing on the side of the Void Shuttle, looking down.

At that moment, Lu Changzhi got up and walked over.

"Master."

Upon Lu Changzhi arrive, Xiao Ye sensed something and greeted him.

"What, are you curious about the Eastern Region?"

Lu Changzhi asked with a smile.

Xiao Ye nodded:

"The Eastern Region seem quite different from what I knew."

"Oh?"

Lu Changzhi's expression shifted. "What's different?"

Xiao Ye looked down, pondered for a moment, and said:

"The Eastern Region is not, as I've heard, a desolate desert for cultivation, a place where people live in misery, nor is it a place of poverty and weakness."

"The city below is no less bustling than the cities I visited before."

Hearing Xiao Ye's explanation, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but smile.

This statement is indeed somewhat exaggerated.

Although the Eastern Region lacks holy sites, it shouldn't be this devastated.

However, he wasn't too surprised that Xiao Ye had this perception.

Cognition can be influenced.

At that moment, Lu Changzhi spoke up:

"The world is vast, and there are many interpretations."

Everyone observes the world from their own perspective, but even the most powerful person and the oldest, most authoritative book cannot truly represent the world.

"To gain true understanding, action is the best source of knowledge."

"Knowledge and action must be integrated; one must not only read ten thousand books but also travel ten thousand miles."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye was taken aback.

He did not answer immediately, but instead looked thoughtful.

After a long silence, a complex emotion appeared in his eyes. He bowed to Lu Changzhi and said:

"Thank you, Master. I have learned a great deal."

At that moment, he suddenly understood why Tongtong referred to the other person as a "big boss."

The other person didn't appear to be much older than him.

But when it comes to knowledge and wisdom, those words just now have greatly benefited him.

"Anything gained is a good thing."

Lu Changzhi smiled and spoke, simultaneously taking out a storage ring and handing it over:

"Now that you have become my disciple, this ring is a gift from your master to you."

"Take it."

Xiao Ye nodded slightly, took the storage ring, and said:

"Thank you, Master."

"You're welcome."

Lu Changzhi waved his hand.

"It's getting late, let's rest. We can return to the peak tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Lu Changzhi returned to the house.

After Lu Changzhi left, Xiao Ye went to explore the inside of the storage ring after a while.

Looking at the numerous items in his storage ring, and the system notification that he had acquired items.

Xiao Ye was stunned for a long time.

"Wait, Tongtong, you just said that was the legacy of Saint?!"

An expression of disbelief appeared in Xiao Ye's eyes.

The legacy of Saint!

How precious and rare!

I only became an apprentice, and they actually gave me a copy?

It should be understood that even in the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, one must perform exceptionally well to have a chance of receiving the Saint's inheritance, and even then, it may not be complete.

But right now...

Xiao Ye took a deep breath, his heart somewhat unsettled.

He admitted that his understanding of his master was somewhat superficial at that time.

This is not just about academic knowledge.

This move is a bit too much...

Refreshing my understanding!

"Are you feeling pressured, my lord?" the system voice asked.

Xiao Ye nodded, a hint of worry in his eyes:

"Tongtong, do you think Master would be very angry if he knew that I tricked him into accepting me as his disciple by using you?"

"Hey!" the system announced.

"My lady, trust Tongtong, as long as you don't say anything, the boss will definitely not know."

"From now on, as long as you cultivate diligently, complete more tasks, and become stronger as quickly as possible, once you are strong enough, the matter of tricking a powerful figure into taking you as a disciple will naturally become unimportant."

"Besides, my lady, you still Tongtong me. As long as you work hard, you'll definitely be rewarded!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye pondered for a long time.

Finally, a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.

"Thank Tongtong, I understand."

In the days to come, I must strive to cultivate myself and become stronger quickly.

Make sure your fabricated story doesn't give you away!

Everyone spent the night in their own way.

On Xunyuan Peak.

Zhou Mo sensed the changes in the aura of the disciples on the peak, feeling both delighted and suspicious.

"Elder Sun, Changzhi really just have a chat with them?"

Sun Xiang, standing to the side, recalled earnestly and nodded:

They only asked some basic questions, nothing else.

That's strange.

Zhou Mo's brows furrowed even more.

The changes in these disciples are simply astonishing.

The entire process of cleansing and refining essence was underway, and everyone's aptitude was being rapidly enhanced, like Xiao Niu having its testicles removed.

The extent and duration of the improvement moved even him.

Eating the Marrow Cleansing Fruit can cause similar effects.

But right now...

Although it's a good thing, the lack of a clear reason still makes people feel somewhat uneasy.

"Is there something special about Changzhi?"

After thinking it over and over, I can't seem to find any possibility.

"Go ask the sect leader."

"He has a lot of contact with Changzhi, so he should know something."

Zhou Mo then set off.

Not long after, upon hearing the disciple's message, Zhou Mo's expression hardened.

"He's suddenly gone into seclusion again?"

With that, he went directly to Cang Wenyu's courtyard.

Zhou Mo stopped at the doorway.

His divine sense spread out, enveloping the entire courtyard. His lips moved slightly as he murmured softly:

"One two three..."

"Fifteen... sixteen..."

Zhou Mo's face showed a strange expression:

"Eighteen array formations, ten soundproof array formations, five detection array formations, three earth-suppressing array formations... what is Senior Brother Sect Leader up to...?"

As he spoke, Zhou Mo suddenly paused, hesitating for a moment:

"Could it be my sister-in-law?!"

After speaking, he glanced into the courtyard, somewhat uncertain:

"But I remember my sister-in-law saying before that our sect leader looked old for his age..."

"Never mind, let's ask after Senior Brother Sect Leader finishes his work."

Instead of resolving the initial doubts, new doubts arose.

Shaking his head, Zhou Mo got up and left.

The underground area was unusually lively.

"With these life-extending elixirs, our ancestors will surely be able to go even further."

"Yes, I never imagined that I would witness such a great fortune in my lifetime. I am truly fortunate and grateful for the care of Ancestor Yi."

"I wonder what level our ancestors have reached. To be able to find and bring back this item, they must have far surpassed us."

"Strive diligently in your cultivation. Once you take that step, you can join the ancestors. With a little more effort, you might even be able to help Ancestor Yi resolve some troubles. Everyone, the task is arduous and the road ahead is long. Keep up the good work."

"Yes, we can't let the Ancestor's painstaking efforts go to waste."

Soon after, the underground area became quiet.
