Chapter 16: In the Library
Qu Bimei set up the rune pen, rune paper, and rune ink on the table, sat on the jade grass futon, closed her eyes, and calmed down. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After the whole person was calm, she slowly opened her eyes, held the talisman pen in her hand with the five-finger pen method, her wrist hung in the air, the talisman pen was lightly touched in the rune ink, the tip of the pen fell on the rune paper, infused with spiritual power, and quickly outlined a mysterious pattern.
"Bang." Although Qu Bimei had successfully refined one in the light brain space, when refining it in reality, she was still a little nervous, her spiritual power was slightly unstable, and the entire rune paper was burning.
"Hey, failed." Qu Bimei said softly, but she was not discouraged. Although she has successfully refined it in space, after all, she has only successfully refined it once, which can be regarded as a flash of success, and a success achieved through a lot of training.
After calming her mind for a while, she found that it took almost a quarter of her aura to make a fireball talisman, and she could try three more times before her aura would be depleted. But she took a deep breath and tried again.
The second time, she was more cautious, but when she finally put away the pen, the aura was slightly suffocated, and the whole rune paper burned again, and failed again.
Qu Bimei sat quietly on the jade grass futon for a while, calmed down again, as if she had caught something, picked up the pen, and did it in one go, the mysterious red rune on the rune paper flashed, emitting a ray of bright light, the random light was restrained, and the fireball talisman was finally made.
Qu Bimei reached out and picked up the freshly made fireball talisman, and a burning fireball appeared on the rune paper, very similar to the burning fireball when the fireball spell was cast. Qu Bimei has seen a lot of good things, but this one is the first rune she made in this world, and the first thing she made, although it doesn't seem to be particularly perfect, and it's just a fireball talisman, but she still cherished it and put it in the storage ring, intending to keep it as a souvenir.
When she was about to try to make a fireball talisman again, she was decided by Xiaomei.
"Master, you'd better not use up the aura in your body too often, it will have a detrimental effect on your muscles and veins, and you promised Xiaomei to go to the library to collect information. Also, after you cultivate again today, you will break through to the second layer of Qi training, so why don't you hurry up and find a way to hide your cultivation. ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Qu Bimei found that Xiaomei was becoming more and more of a housekeeper, and replied repeatedly.
Qu Bimei came to the family library, which was a three-story attic, and there were two middle-aged men guarding in front of the door, and it seemed that the guards were not tightly guarded, but Qu Bimei knew that the guards of the library mainly relied on formations rather than monks.
"Senior, my name is Qu Bimei. I'd like to go into the library and have a look. "Qu Bimei has already inquired that when each family monk goes to the library for the first time, he only needs to report his name, and the guards can check their identity through the magic weapon, and then issue a pass waist card, this waist card is passed in the family, and after the middle stage of Qi training, you can go to the steward to receive the jade card that is common inside and outside the family.
"Qu Bimei, six years old, fire system heavenly spirit root, one level of qi training, family contribution points, zero." The middle-aged man handed the jade card to Qu Bimei, and then said to her, "You can only be on the first floor, unless you have special permission, you can't enter the second floor until you reach the late stage of Qi training." ”
"You can only look at the scrolls and jade slips in the library cabinet. If you need to copy, you need the family to contribute five points or five spirit stones to a volume. In addition, for the sake of the family, it is stipulated that each disciple can only stay in the library for one hour a day. ”
"Okay, thank you, senior." Qu Bimei took the jade plaque and hung it on her waist, and suddenly asked, "Senior, if I put the jade slip in the storage bag and take it away, will you know?" ”
"Little girl, the formation of the Library Pavilion prohibits the use of storage equipment." The middle-aged man heard Qu Bimei's question and said with a smile.
"Senpai, I'm in." Qu Bimei received the answer, saluted respectfully, and paced into the library.
As soon as you enter the door, a smell of books comes to your face, and the library is like a place where ancient scrolls are concentrated, and the rows of bookshelves are full of scrolls, and the number is huge. And like a modern library, it is divided into martial arts, culture, history, geography, astronomy, medicine, etc., and it is easy to take it out and take a look, these are great collections in the secular world, but they are of no use to those who cultivate immortals.
Further in, there is a miscellaneous category, which is very richly recorded, all kinds of anecdotes similar to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, all kinds of wild and strange legends, and all kinds of strange stories of monks, similar to the kind of booklet left by Qu Haichen, but the content is even more bizarre, and the authenticity is basically untestable.
Qu Bimei skipped the scrolls in the secular world in front of her, and looked directly at the miscellaneous books, after cultivating immortals, she looked at this kind of scroll very quickly, ten lines at a glance, and silently read Xiaomei in her heart, and then read it with Xiaomei, one volume after another, and read it hungrily.
These books were much more interesting than the previous novels, and she was fascinated by them until Xiaomei interrupted her.
"The book here is quite insightful, but we only have an hour for the day, and we can't waste time on these miscellaneous notes. Or go to the bookshelf at the back, the bookshelf at the back is all jade slips, and look for anything suitable. You only need to spend some energy on the books here, and I can scan them quickly, but they can only be used for ordinary scrolls, and they are not effective for jade slips. ”
"Didn't you say that I had to read books before I could collect them?" Qu Bimei remembered that Xiaomei said that only the books she saw could be collected, how could she scan them quickly?
"This function was also triggered suddenly when I was just reading the miscellaneous." Xiaomei found that her functions became more and more perfect with the collection of data.
"Then how long will it take you to scan all the books in this room, and how many spirit stones will you need?"
"If you collect all of these, it will take about a thousand spirit stones, but I don't have that much energy now, you can collect the miscellaneous ones first, and only need a hundred spirit stones, and then collect them after the next charge."
"You can collect as much as you can first, just leave a hundred spirit stones for backup, and I'll charge you when you go back, because the formation of the Library Pavilions restricts the use of storage props." Qu Bimei thought about it, she had to collect it anyway, so she simply collected it, a thousand spirit stones was not too much for her, and she could just call Xiaomei to remind her when she needed it in the future.
Qu Bimei walked to the last bookshelf and found that there were only jade slips on the shelf, and each jade slip had a rough description of what it was. Because the first layer is for the early stage disciples in the refining weapon, these jade slips are also very basic, the basic jade slips of the Five Elements Spell, and the basic jade slips that introduce spirit plants and minerals, she looked at it casually, and did not find anything special, not even the jade slips of refining alchemy talismans, because the family did not want the disciples who had just started to cultivate to indulge in these miscellaneous studies.
"Master, there's a scroll at the bottom of this shelf, but I can't scan the contents, it should be a good thing." Xiaomei suddenly said happily.
Under Xiaomei's guidance, Qu Bimei found a mezzanine at the bottom of the bookshelf, and took out the book with a touch of her hand.
