Twilight is approaching.

Leicheng Guild, inside the library building.

Knock knock!

What should have been a tranquil environment was broken by the sound of hurried footsteps, accompanied by the sound of bookshelves trembling, like a torrential rain hitting plantains.

Hearing this noise, an old man with white eyebrows who was in charge of the library downstairs frowned slightly, and then seemed to think of something, and his eyebrows showed an angry look.

"The more junctures like these, the more we should lose our composure...... This son's qualifications are acceptable, but his temperament is not good. ”

Shaking his head, the white-eyed old man sighed with emotion and coughed heavily upward.

The upstairs noise died down.

The white-eyed old man closed his eyes.

For him, although the young man upstairs was a rare genius in Lei City, in terms of the geniuses absorbed by the entire guild, that is, he was in the middle and upper reaches, and he had not yet reached the level that made him bother to talk too much, let alone care about it.

After a cough warning, he didn't pay any attention to it, and he was not interested in knowing what the boy had done before.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that his expression will become much more interesting than it is now......

......

Library Building, upstairs.

The strange boy who had been in a lot of trouble here stopped in his tracks.

The young man's name is Ling You, he is sixteen years old this year, his face is quite delicate, and his dress is not luxurious, but very clear.

A temperament is also the best choice.

If it weren't for the fact that he was rolling up his sleeves and wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead...... Presumably it will be more in line with the definition of a beautiful boy.

"No......"

At that moment, I saw Ling You muttering while wiping his sweat: "Isn't it said that the online texts are all treasures hidden in the Library Pavilion, and the tattered cheats hide magical skills? Why, not at all?"

After a mutter, Ling You couldn't support it anymore, and sat down with a snap, leaning on the bookshelf behind him, gasping for breath.

There was a tired and worried look on his face.

"Another routine failed...... Hey, what will I do in a few days?"

Thinking of the danger and difficulty, Ling You couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Yes, the current Ling You is not the genius that the old man downstairs is familiar with, but a member of the vast crossing army.

The world he traveled to could meditate and perceive, absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and then cultivate.

One realm refining body, two realms condensing truth, three realms Kaiyuan, four realms of general law, five realms of Daogang......

The higher the realm, the stronger the strength.

In this way, there is naturally a saying that "martial arts are respected" - thousands of years ago, the phenomenon of powerful cultivators fighting each other for resources and so on, and fighting each other in calamity, is not uncommon......

This kind of chaos was not broken until the "Xuanshi" was born.

It is rumored that the "Xuanshi" is born with great power and great powers, and no one knows his origin, but he is known that not long after he appeared, he defeated and subdued all the top powerhouses in the mainland at that time, established a proper order, and ended the troubled times...... Then, Master Xuan made a grand wish of "I wish everyone to be like a dragon", opening a new era of wildflowers blooming and all roads contending.

After thousands of years of life and gathering, it has developed to this day, although martial arts are still the leader, but there are many side ways - such as alchemy, inscriptions, refining weapons, imperial beasts, calligraphy and painting...... And so on, but there is also a place.

Not to mention anything else, in this Lei City alone, there are branches of various guilds.

Dotted around, it can be described as prosperous.

And the Leicheng Guild is the strongest force among these guilds. They are similar to the "Adventurer's Guild" in the later games, opening wide doors and providing shelter for foreign powerless wild geniuses......

It was thanks to this guild that Ling You was able to live here.

It's just that it's not that simple.

It is said that where there are people, there is competition, and although this "Leicheng Guild" will give shelter to geniuses, it is not for charity...... The so-called survival of the fittest, more monks and less porridge, in fact, the competition here is far more cruel than the outside world imagines.

Every month, the guild will arrange an assessment for geniuses to compete with each other, and according to the results, the allocation of resources for the next month and so on.

The content of the assessment is generally martial arts, but if you are not confident in your own strength, you can also propose other forms of assessment - generally debating with the strong people of the guild and explaining all kinds of side knowledge...... In short, in the assessment of the month, you must show your skills, otherwise the guild will never show the slightest mercy.

Like those who are backward in martial arts and can't show any "valuable" talents, the result is generally expelled in situ and lost the protection of the guild.

After that, it is naturally difficult to gain a foothold in Lei City, and it may not even be possible to get out of the city, and it will be swallowed by the dark side hidden in this city......

In the end, it's almost not very good-looking.

Of course, his previous body was quite good qualifications, and he didn't need to worry about these things, but the bad thing was that his body and mind were higher than the sky, and his life was thinner than paper...... Go crazy.

Although in the end, the predecessor suppressed the demons, and it did not happen and became a classic episode of waste, and no one found out...... He felt that after this difficulty, the road to promotion was bound to be more rugged, and it was impossible to catch up with those top geniuses in the guild, but he would be thrown farther and farther away by them, so he was so depressed that he actually himself to death......

That's why Ling You's crossing.

After receiving the mess left by such a strange guy, you can imagine how depressed he is.

I wanted to regain my strength, but I found that this mess was even more difficult to pick up than he imagined - for some reason, after Ling You crossed over, he only fused part of the memories of his predecessor and knew the general situation, but he didn't have any memories of cultivation at all!

In other words, he now has an empty body of cultivation, but the actual operation is not as good as Xiaobai!

However, the guild's end-of-month competition is just around the corner!

Knowing that it was critical, Ling You did not sit still. These days, he has taken the initiative to attack and desperately make up for evil, but in a short period of time, he wants to complete the knowledge of the huge cultivation system, master the tricks such as making moves, or master a little side business knowledge that can "get into the eyes...... However, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.

As for the ...... In such a state, relying on the gap in the realm, try not to fall into the last rank...... This kind of thought was only thrown away by Ling You in an instant-I had to change to another place, but what kind of place is this?Leicheng Guild, genius concentration camp!

Under the fierce competition, who is not capable of the geniuses here? Those guys who usually have conflicts with their predecessors, which one does not have the means to fight across the border?

It's really a fight, and bullying you for a half-person with a false realm is not like playing!

Besides, the predecessor was not outstanding in terms of cultivation speed, and so far, it is only comparable to the two small realms of "flesh training" and "bone transformation" in the realm of body refining, and has reached the level of "easy tendon", which is not much higher than most geniuses here.

The predecessor of the elder is still the unpopular skill of the guild - archery...... Besides, he didn't inherit it.

It's almost a desperate situation.

If it weren't for the fact that he was desperate, Ling You would not have been a dead horse and a live horse doctor, and even tried the "routines" of various novels he had read in his previous life.

Unfortunately, it still failed.

"Why don't I have a ring, grandpa or something? Why don't you take a step back and have some ancient powerful memories come true!"

Recalling the various routines he was familiar with in his previous life, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Ling You's mouth. It is said that there must be benefits in crossing, but I have been busy for so many days, and I haven't even seen the shadow of welfare, and it is estimated that if I continue like this, I may be expelled from the guild on a bitter rainy night in the north wind, and then be cut down by someone in a corner of the river......

"It shouldn't be, how can I say it's also the European Emperor bloodline of the Nine out of Ten SSRs......"

Before he could finish reading these broken thoughts, Ling You's brain shook suddenly, as if something sharp had rushed directly into his brain, causing his vision to spin for a while, only to see a strange color appear above his head in a blur, and then he completely lost consciousness......

......

When Ling You came back to his senses again, he found that he was no longer surrounded by books, but ...... An ocean.

Sensing the familiar aura in it, Ling You, who already had a superficial understanding of this world, suddenly felt something!

"Here it is...... My Sea of Consciousness?"

The so-called cultivators all have the saying of knowing the sea, that is the spiritual space, and the mystery is mysterious...... It stands to reason that at least you have to cross the five small realms of "refining the body", break through the limits of the physical body, and step into the 'condensation realm', so that you can sit and look inward, and swim in this space with your own divine sense......

But Ling You obviously hasn't reached that realm yet, and he was able to enter here, obviously because of some kind of external force, that is......

"What should be here...... Ah, I found it!"

Ling You looked around, and after a while, his eyes lit up.

In the middle of that calm ocean, a "thing" composed of six transparent white crystal blocks, similar to a "Rubik's Cube", is hanging high like the sun and silent as the night.

Compared to the books he read, Ling You was sure that there would never be such a "foreign object" in the sea of divine consciousness of ordinary people, in other words, this was ......

"Crossing the Welfare Goldfinger!"

As soon as he thought of this, Ling You took a long breath and forced himself to calm down, and then his heart moved freely, and his divine consciousness naturally floated up, gradually approaching the "Rubik's Cube......

Through a layer of crystal walls, Ling You vaguely saw that in the center of the "Rubik's Cube", there was a blazing flame, rising in a curling manner, it seemed, furnace fire?

I got a little closer, touched the crystal wall, but instead of penetrating as I imagined, I was blocked out.

As far as perception is concerned, Ling You asked himself if there was not the slightest possibility of entering it.

The six crystal walls are also dusty, without a trace.

When Ling You stretched out his hand to touch it, there seemed to be a flash of light in his heart, although it was an instant, but it made him feel an inexplicable feeling of closeness, as if this thing had a great relationship with himself, sharing weal and woe, and never losing one......

After a moment, all kinds of strange sensations disappeared, Ling You trembled, and finally a new feeling appeared in his heart, like a text imprint, which made him instantly understand its meaning......

It seems, eight words.

"Ten Thousand Laws...... It's no different...... What is ...... The strongest!?"

Ling You thought about it, he knocked the crystal wall, but this time, the "Rubik's Cube" was always silent, as if it had been the same for all eternity, and there was no reaction at all......

"Tsk, what's the use of this thing?"

After studying it carefully for a while, he really couldn't grasp any clues, Ling You shook his head, thinking about how to get out of here first, and then think about it in the long run...... As soon as this thought came to mind, the surrounding scene changed for a while.

But he returned to the library.

"The heart moves freely, freely in and out of the sea of divine consciousness?"

Ling You took a deep breath, suppressed the joy in his heart, and muttered, 'Emperor Ou's bloodline really didn't abandon me', while picking up a book and opening it casually.

Ling You, who is familiar with the routines of novels in his previous life, is faintly looking forward to ...... Next, his own golden finger was powerful, and he casually scanned the books and clicked all the bridges he understood.

But as it turned out, he was overthinking.

At a glance, it is still the same as a few days ago, scratching the boots and seeing flowers in the fog...... There are so many words that are hard to understand.

This is especially true when looking at the methods of cultivation.

It is necessary to know how mysterious the path of cultivation in this world is, and the superior method is even more mysterious, and usually, it is written in "freehand characters" similar to the "eclipse text" of later Taoist "etchings", so to understand its meaning, it is necessary to have a not weak "understanding".

Obviously, Ling You is a little mediocre in this regard.

Although he is good at reasoning and has inherited the good physical "qualifications" of his predecessor, as a modern person who has lived in the bustling city for so long, and has not gone through any means of soul and soul fusion, how can he immediately get used to "breathing in the aura of heaven and earth and understanding the true meaning of Taoism"?

This is his disadvantage, especially when compared to the indigenous geniuses, this disadvantage will be constantly magnified.

In the long run, this is something that must be addressed.

Thinking about it, Ling You couldn't help but smile dumbly - although he hadn't figured out what the "Rubik's Cube" was for, he had learned that he had a golden finger with him, and his mentality towards the current situation was already unconsciously, and he was more optimistic.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought so far ahead.

Shaking his head, Ling You read the book for a while, the more he studied deeply, the more he found that he lacked a lot, if he followed this pace, it would take at least a few months to reach the same level as his predecessor......

"I hope I can find out the purpose of that thing as soon as possible, and the loss of the assessment at the end of the month, can I not eat it, or I don't eat it. ”

Thinking like this in his heart, Ling You took a few books, went downstairs, and found the white-eyed old man to register for the loan.

In this regard, the white-eyed old man naturally would not be embarrassed, but when he swept over the books that Ling You had borrowed, his eyebrows moved imperceptibly.

"These are the foundations of practice...... You've been borrowing ...... for a few days."

Sensing the slightly scrutinizing eyes of the white-eyed old man, Ling You secretly said that he was careless, his eyes rolled, and he hugged his fists and said: "Mei Lao Mingjian, I think that cultivation is a heavy foundation, and no one can raise a tall building on the ground, right?"

Hearing this, the white-eyed old man was noncommittal, but just took the pen and paper from the side and did business.

As soon as the matter was over, Ling You thanked him, then said no more, and walked away directly.

When he left, the white-eyed old man shook his head.

"The foundation is vain, he doesn't want to make progress, and he is clever in his words, thinking that he has attained the Tao...... Alas, this young man, this assessment, is sad. ”
