Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 380 - 390: You’re Really Superficial

Due to the disturbance of Ancient Demons in the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, Elder Zhuang, who was guarding the Sword Pavilion, left, and the Third Level was directly closed.

It is temporarily not open to the public.

The Second Level, however, increased its guard strength with a total of four Sect protectors holding swords, their faces cold as they stood there.

Disciples from other Sects who wanted to enter the Second Level had to undergo their strict inspection. Without sufficient Merit or other valid credentials, entry was not allowed.

You should know, the level of a protector, within the Sect, is considered only second to that of an Elder.

They are held high, not only powerful but also prestigious in status. Let alone ordinary Sect disciples, even a Steward of the Sect would feel awe and tread carefully around them.

Chu Feng, of course, is different from ordinary disciples; he is a True Disciple with great strength.

Even in front of protectors, he stands tall and confident, extraordinary in posture.

"Junior Brother Chu, are you planning to go up to the Third Level to select a secret book?" one of the protectors asked with a smile as he initiated a conversation with Chu Feng. The other three also had welcoming smiles.

Now, Chu Feng is in his prime within the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, not just protectors, even Elders don’t dare to show off in front of Chu Feng.

The warmth and ease of these protectors towards Chu Feng is thus not hard to understand.

"I’m not going to the Third Level; I’ll just look up ancient texts here on the Second Level!" Chu Feng displayed his True Disciple Token.

According to Sect rules, True Disciples can enter the Second Level of the Sword Pavilion at any time unconditionally. They can consult any books, Cultivation Techniques, without time restrictions. However, the only rule to follow is that they are not allowed to copy reproductions or take them out.

"Junior Brother Chu, please!" The four protectors did Chu Feng a favor by not even checking his Token. They let him in directly.

Chu Feng’s face was the best Token.

Now, there are very few in the Sect who do not know Chu Feng.

Upon entering the Second Level of the Sword Pavilion, Chu Feng found that the space was unimaginably large, with probably more than a hundred thousand volumes of books.

Among them, there were a large number of precious ancient texts. There were texts on Beast Bone, as well as bamboo slips, wood slips, and even Bone. Secret technique manuals, however, were not many, just a single row of bookshelves.

The rest were various materials.

Since there were so many books inside, naturally, there were specialized personnel managing them. All together there were seven or eight book administrators, all ordinary disciples of the Sect.

They wore uniform attire, with red armbands, which were particularly conspicuous.

Chu Feng approached a very old elder for advice, "Senior Brother, do you have any ancient books from the Dragon Han Period?"

The elder obviously recognized Chu Feng.

Being respectfully addressed as Senior Brother by Chu Feng, he was somewhat pleasantly surprised.

"Junior Brother Chu Feng wants to consult the ancient scrolls from the Dragon Han Period? We have some, but not many."

"Please follow me!"

The elder enthusiastically took Chu Feng to the furthest row of stone bookshelves.

Here, the ancient texts stored truly were an eye-opener for Chu Feng. They were actually intact stone steles.

"Junior Brother Chu Feng, this bottom layer, all of these are ancient books from the Dragon Han Period or earlier. The text on them, many are Ancient Runes, which ordinary people can’t understand at all."

The elder said respectfully.

"Alright, thank you, you can go back to your duties!" Chu Feng cupped his hands and casually rewarded the elder with a small silver ingot.

The Heart-devouring Demon Planting Technique loomed like a sharp sword over Chu Feng’s head, threatening to claim his life at any moment.

He had to find a solution quickly.

Having received the reward, the elder was naturally extremely grateful to Chu Feng.

"Junior Brother Chu Feng, if you do not recognize the runes above, you can wait for the Supreme Elder Ge Qing to return and then ask him for guidance. In our entire Ten Thousand Sword Sect, he is the only one who is most knowledgeable."

"However, even Elder Ge Qing knows very little about the runes above!"

After saying this, the old man went about his own business.

The Second Level holds a vast number of books and sees many Sect disciples enter, so managing it is extremely challenging. The workload is immense.

Every librarian is very busy.

Chu Feng was not particular; he simply sat on the ground and started to leaf through the runes left from Ancient Times, primarily from steles.

Because they are very old, if steles are buried in underground tombs or ruins, they are basically undamaged when excavated. The runes engraved on them are also clearly discernible.

As for animal skins, bamboo slips, etc., they are easily rotten and damaged.

Apart from steles, runes carved on bones of Ancient Demon Beasts are also well-preserved.

Only a dominant power in the Northern Territory like the Ten Thousand Sword Sect can amass such a vast collection of ancient texts. The Ten Thousand Sword Sect is doing quite well in this regard.

Especially under the leadership of Sect Master Pu Li, a specific reward mechanism was established.

This system is specifically for collecting these ancient texts.

It is under such a reward system that the Sect disciples are highly motivated. Whenever they discover ancient texts outside, they immediately try to get them and present them to the Sect.

...

As Chu Feng was perusing ancient texts, a very young female librarian came over. Her appearance could barely score eighty points, and she could just pass as a beauty.

Possibly because she often manages books here, she can immerse herself in the sea of books and read various texts.

Thus, this female librarian possesses an intellectual and elegant demeanor.

This greatly enhances her appeal, making one unable to help but take notice.

A beauty with the fragrance of books is always the ideal dream lover for a man.

Other male disciples are attracted by her beauty and demeanor, paying her respectful attention. Chu Feng, however, paid her no heed and just focused on reading a stele.

His behavior immediately annoyed the female librarian.

"Hmph, the ancient texts here are from the Dragon Han Period, even the Prehistoric Era, do you understand them? Pretending and posturing to appear knowledgeable, how boring and superficial!"

The female librarian is named Lin Shiyi, famously proud and cold. freewēbnoveℓ.com

She cast a disdainful glance at Chu Feng.

Chu Feng ignored her, just focusing intently on the stele.

"I’m talking about you, stop putting on airs here, posing to appear scholarly. The ancient texts here, even my master cannot understand, so how could a 17 or 18-year-old youth like you understand?"

Seeing that Chu Feng ignored her, she raised her tone a bit.

Librarians here hold substantial power. They can oversee every reader who enters the Second Level.

"Whether I understand or not is not your concern, right? You wouldn’t presume to think that I’m posturing as knowledgeable to impress you, would you?" Chu Feng frowned slightly, disturbed.

When he saw she was an intellectual beauty, he wasn’t angry.

He didn’t plan to argue with her.

It must be said, beauties often have an advantage, especially in front of men.

"You... frivolous! You’re just a playboy at first glance, don’t think you’re anything special just because you’re a True Disciple. Miss here is not that kind of superficial girl, I would never fancy you!"

Lin Shiyi was so angry that her body trembled, her fists clenched tightly, and her charm as a young woman was fully displayed.
