Chapter 440: The True Spirit of the Scripture Library
After all, this acceleration of time would not leave any traces of aging on the body, which was equivalent to doubling one’s lifespan.
Even if Li Xiang didn’t say anything, Ye Qiu and the others didn’t plan on leaving.
Now that they had such a cultivation paradise, they naturally wouldn’t leave.
Not only was this place safe, but it was also comparable to a grotto-heaven with great benefits and resources. It was a holy land for cultivation.
They wouldn’t leave even if they were whipped now.
Moreover, the higher the strength of the Devil-suppressing Division, the greater the benefits one would enjoy. It was not obvious for the time being, but the longer it took, the more outrageous the effect would be. After ten or twenty years, people who were on the same starting line would show a world of difference.
Li Xiang smiled and said, “We should keep the matters of the Devil-suppressing Division confidential. We have just arrived in this world not long ago and we don’t know much about this world. Once the news about the time acceleration ability and it won’t leave any effect on the body was spread, I’m afraid that it would invite trouble. When we got a precious treasure from the divine tomb, countless foreign races and demons wanted to exterminate us. If the effect of the Devil-suppressing Division is known, what do you think we will face? At that time, there would be even more enemies coveting and targeting us. Even if I’m not afraid of these things, I’ll inevitably be distracted and waste my time. The gains do not make up for the losses!”
The effect of the Devil-suppressing Division was too powerful. In fact, Li Xiang didn’t tell them all the functions. In addition to the time acceleration, the Devil-suppressing Division had another very powerful function, which was to suppress demons.
The more demons it suppressed, the stronger the division would be.
The Devil-suppressing Division could extract energy from demons to strengthen itself, accelerate its growth, and advance in rank. When it grew to a certain level, the Devil-suppressing Division could even refine demons into equipment, which was very magical.
However, the level of the Devil-suppressing Division was still relatively low and there were not many people. He did not plan to open this function for the time being.
After this crisis then only it would be officially opened.
“Don’t worry. The three of us aren’t busybodies. Since we’re supposed to keep it a secret, we won’t reveal it to anyone else.”
“That’s good! That’s it for now. You can stay here and familiarize yourself with your residence. If you need anything, just go out and buy it! I’ll give each of you a thousand Star Coins a month. Now you get three months advance payment.”
As he spoke, Li Xiang took out three small bags and handed them to the three people.
Ye Qiu’s eyes brightened. He knew the purchasing power of Star Coins. Three thousand Star Coins was a huge sum of money!
With this sum of money, it could solve many of their problems.
After all, the purchasing power of gold coins was constantly depreciating. Only with Star Coins could one buy precious things.
“Li Xiang, where are we going now?”
“Let’s go to the Scripture Library!”
Yang Mi and Chen Shu were both curious. Could it be that Li Xiang had obtained all kinds of secret manuals on this trip?
“I have found a true god library in my tip to the divine tomb. The number of books in there was beyond my imagination. Not only are there books from our world, but there are also books from other worlds. A large number of cultivation methods and ancient books need to be stored in the Scripture Library as soon as possible. Only when people can read them will these books be able to display their true use!”
The three of them arrived at the library and walked in.
At this moment, there were still quite several commoners flipping through the books in the library.
These books were all bought by Li Xiang from Hou Chun. They weren’t high-level, but they were well-rounded.
In comparison, the first level had the most people. Many of the originally illiterate human commoners would learn faster and become more enthusiastic about learning after their level and strength increased.
Therefore, at this time of the night, many people came to learn.
“The country lord is here! As well as Lady Yang and Lady Chen!”
When Yang Mi and Chen Shu heard the addresses, their faces turned red. They couldn’t accept the term “lady”. They were filled with shame!
However, they couldn’t say anything at this time. They could only glare at Li Xiang.
Li Xiang didn’t know what was going on. He kept a faint smile on his face but he didn’t greet the people. He only nodded in greeting.
Then, a white figure appeared in the Scripture Library with a thought.
“Eh? Where is this place? What a strong smell of books! There shouldn’t be a lot of books here and their grades aren’t high either. But they’re all of the high quality!”
The white-robed elder was none other than the elder in the sea of books, who had been sent to the Tower of Stars.
He felt a sense of familiarity the moment he arrived at the Scripture Library as if this was his home. He could even sense how many books were there, what books were there, and where they were located.
“Elder in the sea of books! This is the Scriptures Library I talked about. It’s a rare treasure. What do you think?”
Elder in the sea of books’ eyes glowed with excitement. He nodded and said, “Amazing! I like this place very much!”
The elder didn’t try to hide his feeling at all. He directly exposed the joy in his heart.
“The books here are all low-level cultivation techniques that I have collected in the past. There are also some other books. They aren’t even worth mentioning compared to the ancient books in the true god library.”
“It’s pretty good. This Scripture Library can accommodate countless items and has a protection function. I’ve decided to become the guardian of this library!”
The elder in the sea of books’ voice was filled with excitement, and his eyes were filled with desire.
Li Xiang smiled and said, “Since I brought you here, this is my plan. If you are willing, you can merge your Qi dynamics and mind into the Scripture Library, and you will automatically become the true spirit of the library. As long as the Scripture Library exists, you will not die! At the same time, all the books here will be under your control!”
He could tell that the elder in the sea of books liked this place. With such a great expert overseeing and managing this place, he would no longer have to worry about the books here being stolen or destroyed.
As for asking the elder to deal with the enemies from the outside world, Li Xiang would not bother him unless it was necessary.
Of course, once one became the true spirit of this Scripture Library, he would never be able to leave this place in the future. It was equivalent to selling himself to Li Xiang.
“Okay! From now on, I’ll be in charge of controlling and protecting the books here!” Elder in the sea of books agreed without hesitation.
As for whether or not he was selling himself, it did not matter to him at all. He was the spirit of books and could only grow in a place full of books. He did not have much desire to fight or have any other demands. To be able to guard this place was the greatest happiness for him.
After he finished speaking, he merged his mind with the Scripture Library. His Qi dynamics suddenly underwent a wonderful change as if he had merged with the library, and there was no longer any distinction between them.
