Chapter 50: The Book Has Its Own Golden House!

  Mo Bei followed the waitress into the grand hall, weaving between the various bookshelves.

  The waitress said as she walked: "The books in Cangjing Pavilion are all-encompassing."

  She pointed to one of the bookshelves and said, "The books on that shelf record the Tai Xu Sect, various first-level demon beasts, all their habits, characteristics, and ways to deal with them."

  However, the law does not reach the six ears!

  "If you want to borrow it, please pay three spirit stones first." The maid smiled and said: "After paying the spirit stones, you can borrow it for a day."

  "It's too expensive." Mo Bei secretly cursed, thinking to himself: No wonder the outer sect disciples of Tai Xu Zong are in the tens of thousands, but there are only a handful of people in this Cang Jing Pavilion.

  Borrowing for just one day requires three spirit stones.

  That's too virtual, most of the outer door disciples can only get one spiritual stone for doing a ten-day task.

  Fortunately, I had previously completed the task of killing Iron Shell Crab and selling crab meat. After setting aside the spiritual stones to give to Haotian, I still have fourteen spiritual stones and thirty spiritual pearls on hand.

  Otherwise, it's really hard to borrow and read.

  Mo Bei gritted his teeth, untied the spirit stone pouch at his waist, and handed three crystal-clear spirit stones that emitted a faint glow to the maid.

  Mo Beika hastened his pace and walked to the front of the two tall bookshelves, his eyes constantly scanning the shelves, slowly sweeping over the titles of the books, muttering to himself:

  "Savage Mantis Habit... Decapitating Moves..."

  "Record of Snowfield's Strange Creatures..."

  "A First-Class Fiendish Beast, Lava Beast, habits recorded..."

  "A method to kill the first-order demon beast, Ghost-Faced Red Spider."

  "Hmm..." Mo Bei's gaze moved, his mouth reading out book titles one by one, excluding them: "Feng Lei Ridge Secret Mirror Monster Record... Zi Wei Garden Secret Mirror Monster Record... Demon Island... Demon Island First-Rank Monster Record! That's the one!"

  Mo Bei's eyes lit up and he stretched out his hand to take down the book from the shelf, its pages already slightly yellowed at the edges.

  He turned the pages, according to the directory records, slowly looking: "Iron Shell Crab habits recorded... hmm, Iron Shell Crab has been driven away by me. Next... Silver Shell Ape habits recorded and material value... Fire Tree Insect... Golden Shell Bear... Iron Shell Shrimp... Sea Spirit Frog!"

  Mo Beidou sat on the ground with his legs crossed, flipping to the page that recorded the Sea Spirit Frog, staring at the obscure ancient text on the page, and carefully reading it.

  "Hailong Frog. A first-class demon of the Taixu Sect's Penglai Peninsula, fond of water, often appearing on beaches and in dense, humid forests."

  "Solitary animal."

  "Harm threat: minor. Hmm..." Mo Bei looked at it while nodding, muttering to himself: "This book really is detailed, even the harm levels are classified. Let me take a look, what's below..."

  "The Sea Spirit Frog, a water-based demon creature. Afraid of fire-based and solar sword techniques. Active at dawn or early morning... disappears at noon, leaving no trace..."

  "This sea spirit frog jumps like lightning; its reaction is extremely agile and its body is nimble. Its main attack is with a poisonous tongue, which is as sharp as a sword."

  "Venomous tongue attack, containing extremely strong toxicity. If the skin is scratched and the toxicity is not suppressed within three days, cultivators below the third stage of Qi refining will undoubtedly die."

  Mo Bei Zuo She said: "I didn't expect that the sea spirit frog's poisonous tongue would be so potent. In the future, I must be more careful."

  "He continued to look: 'The second type of attack move, Water Arrow.'"

  "This water arrow's attack speed is surprisingly fast, but its killing power is insufficient compared to Toxic Tongue."

  "Methods for killing sea spirit frogs..."

  Upon seeing this, Mo Bei's eyes lit up and he continued reading: "Because the Sea Spirit Frog is too agile and elusive, there are two ways to kill it."

  "One of them, with a gaze that shatters the soul, an extreme light, and the Nine Heavens Dragon Sword's intent to intimidate. Catching him off guard, I will strike and kill."

  "Secondly, with the Wind Chasing Thirteen Swords, Snow Treading Shadowless Sword, Ancient Gorge Flying Cloud Beheading, Water Moon Floating Fragrance Flash and other light and agile sword techniques or wind-style swift sword techniques, chase after the Shanghai Spirit Frog and strike it dead!"

  Mo Bei's gaze slowly wandered from the ancient book, finally lifting his head to gaze into the distance, muttering to himself as he fell into contemplation: "So that's how it is. To kill the Sea Spirit Frog, or use sword intent to shock and affect its mind, making it fall into a brief stupor before annihilating it."

  "Or else, I'll be even faster! Let the Sea Spirit Toad be unable to dodge my swordsmanship and sword energy, and naturally, it will be killed!"

  "I get it!" Mo Bei clenched his fists tightly, a hint of surprise flashing across his face: "Just in time, my Guan Ri sword technique has made some progress, just enough to deal with this Sea Spirit Frog. Hmph! Now, I'll see how you can escape from my grasp!"

  Mo Bei didn't rush to leave, but instead sat on the wooden chair at the edge of the bookshelf, carefully reading through all the records about the Penglai Peninsula's demonic creatures in this book. Even some parts that Mo Bei thought were useless, he would still read through carefully.

  "Huh, this book also has an introduction to the swordsmanship needed to slay monsters, as well as practical applications of sword moves." Mo Bei turned another page, and after reading the text clearly, he revealed a rather surprised expression.

  "Kanshūken... To defeat the Sea Spirit Frog with Kanshūken, one must first grasp the sword's intent!"

  "With the dazzling brilliance of Kensei's sword, take advantage of the Sea Spirit Toad's poisonous tongue attack in an instant, and then perform the Kensei Sword Technique."

  "For in the instant when the poisonous tongue of the sea spirit frog is unleashed, its mind falls into a brief state of trance."

  "At this time, the Observing Sun Sword Technique can affect his mind and make him dizzy. Only then can we achieve a surprise attack with remarkable effect!"

  Mo Bei suddenly enlightened and nodded to himself: "So that's how it is. It seems these little tricks are quite useful, I must remember them."

  "Observing the Sun Sword Technique, a Japanese sword technique. Using light as the main focus, vast and powerful force, illuminating heaven and earth."

  "Hence, the deployment of Guanri Jianfa, the sword emerges to transform into the sunlight, with a majestic and powerful momentum. However, the sword moves should not be too real, it should be virtual and real, changing and varied. With the evolution of light attribute's transformation."

  "With a light in one's heart and a flash on the sword, one can only achieve the greatest effect of a sword move."

  While looking at the northern border, he couldn't help but sigh in admiration, feeling that he had gained a lot, and thought to himself:

  "That Guan Ri Jian Fa only taught me the sword moves, but didn't teach me the skills. What's recorded in this book is my understanding and epiphany of Guan Ri Jian Fa. With this understanding, I can avoid many detours."

  "The true value of these three Spirit Stone Flowers!"

  For a whole day, Mo Bei was immersed in the endless sea of books and the vast ocean of knowledge, completely unaware of the passage of time.

  These ancient books were all compiled by powerful and profound disciples or elders.

  They will unconsciously incorporate them into their practice and mastery of swordplay.

  Relying solely on his intuition and understanding, Mo Bei gained a lot from it.

  Those epiphanies, understandings, or introductions to the demon, seemed like a key that opened a door in Mo Bei's mind.

  He was suddenly enlightened as if he had been baptized with holy water, and his vision expanded greatly at once!

  "Hmm..."

  Mo Bei, immersed in the sea of books, didn't look up until he turned to the last page of the book and finished reading the last word, then slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, with an unusual glow in his eyes.

  "I don't even know who the author of this book is, but they're definitely a great master. Not only do they have a thorough understanding of those monsters on that island, but their grasp of sword intent and sword techniques is also something I can only dream of! They're truly formidable!"

  Mo Bei rubbed his neck while subconsciously glancing towards the door.

  He only found out that the sunlight pouring in from outside the temple had dimmed and its rays were slightly reddish.

  "It's almost dusk? Time has passed so quickly without me realizing it!"

  Mo Bei slightly gasped in surprise, then shook his head helplessly: "It seems that I can only come again tomorrow or the day after."

  At this time.

  Mo Bei only felt that the plus-shaped rune seed in his mind suddenly flashed a golden light. Immediately afterwards, another potential point appeared on the rune seed.

  "Indeed, reading can increase potential points!" Mo Bei exclaimed in surprise, muttering to himself.

  He reluctantly got up and walked to the bookshelf, putting the books back in their original positions.

  Mo Bei returned and walked out of the scripture pavilion, the remaining light sprinkled on his face, warmth enveloped his entire body, dyeing it bright red.

  Mo Bei's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze wandered, exuding a subtle sense of comfort.

  "I've found a way to increase my potential points, which will boost my strength. Then I'll go hunt demons and exchange them for spirit stones. After that, I'll learn more, become even stronger, and earn even more spirit stones!"

  "Sequential circulation, step by step forward! Cool!"

  "I will become stronger and stronger, refine the Taiyi Qi, and finally ascend to immortality, living forever!"

  After a cup of tea's time.

  After crossing the wooden bridge, he did not return to his stone house, but instead shuttled between the stone houses scattered all over the mountain, finally arriving at a cliff on the waist of the Great Desert Mountain.

  Mo Bei stood there, gazing out at the distant mountains that stretched out endlessly, all of which were dyed golden by the remaining sunset glow.

  That vast mountain range, with its rugged terrain and strange peaks, presents a majestic and magnificent appearance.

  "Watching the Japanese sword technique, the sword's intention is in the movement of the strike. It can be said that it combines both hardness and softness, complementing each other."

  Mo Bei's mind was deep in thought, and with a sudden flick of his wrist, he drew out his sword.

  "Hum!" The three-foot green blade trembled lightly, emitting a clear and crisp humming sound.

  "That's what I've learned from the sword technique, the power of the sword is the way of the hegemon, let me try it out!"

  Before his words had fallen, Mo Bei took a big step forward, charging out several steps, with the green sword in his hand moving simultaneously.

  With one sword out, it sweeps and slashes through the void.

  A crescent-shaped arc of light suddenly flashed and appeared.

  "Ah!"

  The mighty power contained on the sword bursts out; the whistling sound of the sword wind is endless.

  The sword's blade chopped fiercely on a large tree several zhang away from Mo Bei!

  "Crack!"

  The trunk burst with a loud crack, splinters flew everywhere, drawing arcs in all directions.

  The sword flashed by, and on the trunk of the tree, a deep gash about two inches appeared, almost cutting off the thick tree trunk at waist height.

  Its power is so great that it makes one's heart tremble.

  Mo Bei was not very satisfied, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, shaking his head and muttering to himself: "The power of one sword can cause such momentum and destruction. It's indeed fierce and violent, but..."

  However, it obviously lacks the perfect blend of gentleness and firmness, nor does it have the magnificent sword intent found in Guan Yu's swordsmanship.

  "Come and try it!"

  Mo Beidi let out a loud shout, and his eyes burst forth with a hint of sharpness. He took large strides forward, and with a sudden leap, he sprang into the air.

  Draw your sword again!

  This sword seems to be straightforward and aggressive, with a domineering single thrust.
