After a few more greetings, Zhao Lin said goodbye to the two enthusiastic senior brothers, kept walking, and went straight to the "Tianshui Pavilion" at the bottom of the mountain.

There is a natural lake at the west foot of Xingyun Mountain, and there is a library pavilion by the lake.

Because the forest by the lake is scarce, the field of vision is wide, and the sky and water are one when you look at the distance from the lake, so the library pavilion is named Tianshui Pavilion.

Tianshui Pavilion is shared by the disciples of the Outer Courtyard and the Dancing Elephant Academy.

At this time, it was already afternoon, and most of the disciples had finished their day's cultivation, and hundreds of disciples were reading books at their desks in the pavilion, or wandering among the bookshelves to browse.

Unlike what Zhao Lin originally thought, there were almost no cultivation exercises in Tianshui Pavilion, but a large number of martial arts practice notes and miscellaneous books of predecessors were included.

After some inquiry, Zhao Lin understood the intention of doing this.

Exercises are the foundation of the sect, and if you put the precious exercises in one place, in case of fire, water or tricks, the sect will suffer heavy losses.

Moreover, there is another disadvantage of opening up the exercises: most disciples have limited concentration, and it is easy to see the joy of hunting when they see good exercises, and they can't help but practice according to them.

In the end, he learned a bunch of messy and useless exercises, delaying normal cultivation.

Therefore, if a disciple wants to practice a certain exercise, he must ask his master or elder for instructions, and they will decide whether to teach it according to the disciple's situation.

Another point is that reading books in Tianshui Pavilion does not require any sect merits or high prices to buy.

The reason is very simple, every sect hopes that its disciples will be diligent in their cultivation, and will not artificially set up obstacles, or play hidden and tucked that set.

Doing so will only force the disciples to go out to watch the darts to make money, and even kill people to sell goods, which is far less cost-effective than helping the sect run the industry after cultivating talents.

Zhao Lin has been here many times, and he is familiar with the road, so he went directly to the second floor, starting from the bookshelves in the eighth row.

The Xingyun Sect has a long history, and over the past thousands of years, it has accumulated a large number of cultivation notes.

These notes are very useful for people who practice the same exercises, and Zhao Lin has read several notes on Shi Xiaoquan and Tortoiseshell Jin, and he feels that he has benefited a lot.

However, the purpose of his visit this time was to find records about the alien beast.

Martial arts practice is very important, but the spirit animal diagram is even more important.

Zhao Lin had recently observed the five spirit souls in the Spirit Beast Diagram and found that there was a big difference in the speed at which they produced white mist.

Xiong Zhen's spirit is still strong, releasing a large amount of white mist every day, followed by the golden leopard, the white-throated sharp-haired feather swallow, and the smelling marten is slightly worse.

As for the chrysanthemum bat, it seems that the energy has reached the end, and the white mist released is getting less and less.

Zhao Lin speculated that this was because the ability of the spirit soul had reached the upper limit, and it was already difficult to help himself.

If you want to continue to improve, you must absorb stronger spirits.

Xingyun Sect does have a catalogue of the strange beasts in Yanyun Mountain, but it is only in the hands of the high-level leaders such as the head of the sect, the elders, and the head of the courtyard, and it is not open to disciples.

The reason is, firstly, the internal organs of many alien beasts are precious medicinal materials, and they cannot be hunted casually, otherwise the alien beasts will die and can only be replaced with low-grade beast internal organs, and the medicinal effect will be greatly reduced.

So the fewer people who know about the beasts, the better.

In the two, the alien beasts are ferocious, and even the disciples of the Blood Realm are in danger, so they simply divide the mountain infested by the alien beasts as a forbidden area, and prohibit people below the elder from entering.

Zhao Lin couldn't get the catalogue of alien beasts, but he figured out a way: through the notes of the predecessors of the sect, he looked for the words related to alien beasts!

Most of the martial artists write cultivation notes very casually, not only recording their experience in martial arts, but also often writing some miscellaneous things that have nothing to do with martial arts, a bit like a travelogue or even a diary.

After a lot of reading through the notes, Zhao Lin really found a lot of descriptions of strange beasts. It's just that the workload is very large, and you can only read them one by one, which is quite time-consuming.

After more than half a month, more than 20 kinds of strange beasts were found.

Zhao Lin classified and summarized these strange beasts and found that they could be roughly divided into two categories in terms of appearance.

One is that, like the bears, the same species can be found among the beasts.

For example, the same kind of Yu Hao are wild boars, green scorpions, fire cloud silkworms, and silver-winged bats, which are insects and beasts that know what they look like when they hear their names.

Another class of exotic beasts has no similar close relatives among the beasts.

A senior martial artist recorded in his notes a strange beast with a leopard head and a cow body and a single horn on its head.

Someone has also seen a fish on the beach, which not only has the same fins and scales as ordinary fish, but also has a pair of wings that do not stick to water, and can take off from the water.

Zhao Lin could only guess what they looked like by imagination.

Why are there strange beasts?

Zhao Lin has always been curious about this issue.

This world is similar to the ancient times of his previous life, but the difference is that martial arts flourish and there are strange beasts.

"Maybe there are some invisible things in the air of this world, which subtly transform the bodies of birds, beasts, insects and fish, including human beings."

Zhao Lin thought as he flipped through his notes with his eyes.

Suddenly, a text came into view and caught his attention.

"In June of the forty-third year of Ganlu, I met a strange fish on the third peak of the eastern mountain of Yuanze Mountain......"

Strange fish?

Zhao Lin frowned, slowed down the movement of turning the page, and began to read carefully.

I saw that the notebook continued: "At that time, I was sitting by a pool of water to rest, the water was clear and waveless, and I happened to be a little thirsty, so I took out my water bag and wanted to fill it with some water." ”

"As soon as I put the water bag into the pool, the water suddenly rolled like a boil, and a big black fish the size of a calf floated to the surface."

"I thought to myself that I had even taken care of the meal, so I waited for it to get close and slashed it with my sword. Unexpectedly, the big fish's body twisted, and a white light shot out, hitting the sword body. ”

"I felt convulsions all over my body, like a lightning strike, and I lost consciousness. When I opened my eyes again, it was already dark, and the person was lying more than ten feet away from the pool......"

Zhao Lin slowly turned the note back to the first page, and read it again from beginning to end, sure that this big fish was a strange beast like an electric eel.

The person who wrote the note was named Wu Jiangwei, born in the third year of Ganlu, at the age of forty, and his cultivation was the triple blood realm, which was the peak of his personal strength.

The strange fish discharge can send the blood realm master lightning out, which is much more powerful than the electric eel.

Judging from the later account, Wu Jiangwei didn't know what electricity was, thinking that he had encountered a monster, and he had a deep fear of strange fish from the bottom of his heart, and he never set foot in Yuanze Mountain again in his life.

"Forty-three years of manna......"

Zhao Lin muttered softly, he had read the history book "Eight Hundred Years of the Founding of the Yuan Dynasty", and vaguely remembered that manna was the name of the era more than a hundred years ago.

I wonder if the big fish is still alive?

Zhao Lin wanted to get the ability to discharge electricity for a long time, but he never encountered an animal or fish with this ability.

Discharge is simply an ability that is stronger than strength and speed, no wonder even the Blood Realm martial artists have been made out of psychological shadows.

"Yuanze Mountain, the third peak in the east, ...... deep pool"

Zhao Lin silently kept this information in his heart and prepared to go back and write it on paper.

Let's not talk about immortality, if you gain the ability to discharge, then you will not be far from invincibility.
