Ye Tianfan couldn't help but smile all the way, thinking of that deceitful steward made him feel a sense of satisfaction, his footsteps became much lighter, after all, he was still young at heart.
After turning a corner, they arrived at the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion. Two Golden Dan stage cultivators were guarding the door, clearly worried that someone would sneak into the pavilion. Ye Tianfan carefully examined the Scripture Pavilion and saw that it had three floors, each one smaller than the last by nearly half, with the highest third floor being only slightly larger than the small stone hut where Ye Tianfan lived.
Yè Tiān Fán walked closer and said, "Two senior brothers, I'd like to go in and take a look, choose a suitable cultivation method for myself. May I have your consent?" Yè Tiān Fán spoke politely, knowing that the key to this matter lay with these two individuals; after all, if they didn't agree, no one would say anything about it.
"Bring your identity jade card to take a look, it's only after registration that you can enter." One of the two masters said straightforwardly and impartially, obviously not being swayed by Ye Tianfan's flattering words. Ye Tianfan was also satisfied with such a master, so he didn't say much and handed over his identity jade card to the speaker.
"You can go in now, remember that the secret manuals can only be viewed and not taken out. One hour costs 100 points, and if you decide to copy a manual after selecting one, you need to pay additional points, which vary depending on the level of the manual. Got it?" The senior brother said with a nod after handing over the identity jade slip. Ye Tianfan thanked him and quickly walked towards the Scripture Pavilion, as entering the pavilion was calculated by time and wasting it would be a pity.
Upon arriving at the library, Ye Tianfan found that there were about 70 or 80 outer sect disciples browsing through books. However, compared to the first floor which could accommodate several hundred people, it seemed rather deserted. Those people looked at Ye Tianfan's arrival with some surprise, apparently discovering his arrival and also understanding what he had done. However, the crowd did not pay attention to Ye Tianfan, apparently these people were of the ascetic monk type, only focusing on cultivation-related matters, and being indifferent to other things.
Ye Tianfan also admired such people, after all, among the thousands of outer sect disciples, only a few dozen could focus their minds on cultivation, while others were cultivating with an attitude of just getting by.
Although he admired them, Ye Tianfan didn't go to greet them because he knew that no matter what he did, it wouldn't make a big difference to them. Moreover, he was in a hurry to read books. There were five rows of bookshelves here, each row divided into three layers, with nearly a thousand books on each row, some new and some old, and even some were almost rotten.
Ye Tianfan picked one up, quickly scanned it with his divine sense, and finished the book in an instant. Moreover, Ye Tianfan also recorded it into his intelligent brain. After finishing one book, Ye Tianfan hastily put it down and took out another to read. Like this, Ye Tianfan flipped through dozens of books in just a moment.
At first, no one paid attention to Ye Tianfan's arrival, but now everyone's eyes were on him. After all, when Ye Tianfan changed books earlier, everyone thought he hadn't found a suitable book and was still looking. But now it seemed that Ye Tianfan had actually read the book thoroughly. However, this wasn't what surprised everyone - what was surprising was that he had read so much, so quickly, which would be very mentally exhausting. Although reading one book wouldn't consume too much mental energy for a Foundation Building cultivator, reading several books in succession would be unbearable. This was also why the Scripture Pavilion's rules used time to calculate points.
However, this was exactly what Ye Tianfan had in mind. This feat of reading books that was as difficult as ascending to heaven for outer sect disciples was merely a trivial matter for Ye Tianfan, after all, he possessed a divine sense comparable to that of a Separation and Reunion stage cultivator.
Ye Tianfan felt uneasy under the gaze of his seniors, so he sped up his reading. An hour later, Ye Tianfan finally finished reading all the books on a bookshelf. Although he had finished reading, he still looked spirited and refreshed.
Ye Tianfan was about to continue reading, but when he turned around, he was stunned. Everyone was staring at him with wide eyes. Ye Tianfan thought for a moment and didn't know why everyone was looking at him like that. He politely asked: "Fellow seniors, I don't know why you're all looking at me like this. As a newcomer, if I've offended anyone, please forgive me."
"What's wrong with us, we're just intimidated by you. I don't know how strong your spiritual power is. Looking at it for so long, and not getting tired after reading so many books, you've read half a bookshelf in the time it takes us to finish one book." A person who looked around thirty years old muttered.
Ye Tianfan suddenly realized where the problem lay, he had been too abnormal in his behavior. Although it was normal for him, it was not normal for others. After all, his cultivation level was only at the late stage of foundation building, and he was no stronger than them, because most of them were already at the late stage of foundation building.
Now that he knew, he had to make up for it. He didn't want to expose himself, so he pretended to be a bit absent-minded and said: "Oh, you're right, I do feel mentally exhausted. But don't say that, my mental strength has always been far superior to ordinary people since childhood. Now my spiritual awareness is almost twice as high as others in the same realm, which is also why I can persist for so long. Okay, let's not talk about it anymore, go back and rest, I'm so sleepy." By the end of his words, Ye Tianfan even made a yawning gesture.
Although he didn't really want to leave now, in order not to arouse suspicion, Ye Tianfan had no choice but to leave with a heavy heart.
"This junior brother is really lucky, the point system here is simply tailor-made for him, so he can save a lot of points to do other things, it's really enviable. Moreover, having a strong divine sense is also very helpful in forming the Golden Elixir." said a man who looked over fifty years old.
"Hmph, what's the use of envy? It can't become yours anyway. Just focus on cultivating well and strive to enter the inner sect as soon as possible, that's the real deal. Everything else is just empty talk." Another young-looking person said with a confident tone, clearly having faith in his own ability to enter the inner sect, after all, not many people can reach the late stage of foundation building at his age.
"Yes, I'd better cultivate diligently myself and strive to enter the inner door as soon as possible. Some of my fellow disciples who entered the outer door with me have already been in the inner door for some time now, I don't know how they're doing." The man with a worn-out face said.
……………………
Ye Tianfan walked back with a tinge of regret, thinking that it was a pity. He had originally planned to finish the first floor in one day, but now he could only visit a part of it each day. Although most of the books on the first floor were just basic knowledge and strange stories that didn't matter to others, this was exactly what he needed. After all, the foundation of his own cultivation method had to be as solid as possible.
After returning to his small stone house, Ye Tianfan began to meditate and cultivate because he felt that he was not far from breaking through to the second stage. At that time, his cultivation would also become comparable to a Deity Realm cultivator of the sect's elder generation.
