The King of Urban Mercenaries

Chapter 1699 - 1704: Reading Ten Thousand Books

Of course Lin Fei knew that one cannot think according to the other party’s mindset, nor be swayed by the other party’s opinions, otherwise it would be completely wrong, and ultimately it would be oneself who suffers, though there are congratulations in order if you finally become the other party’s disciple.

Lin Fei was not someone who could be swayed by others’ thoughts; he just skipped through the useless parts and merely took the other party’s experience. Lin Fei thought, the other party probably hoped for this too.

After observing numerous books on craftsmanship and martial arts, Lin Fei decided on an important issue.

He skipped those cultivation techniques and martial arts. Even if he did look, Lin Fei only looked at the beginning to see if there was anything worth watching; if not, he would directly throw it on the shelf, therefore Lin Fei’s speed immediately increased.

Following that, Lin Fei read the insights of those who left the books. What he needed now were these things. As someone from the lower realm, Lin Fei’s strength and knowledge were the lowest among the low, knowing nothing, capable of nothing, and his cultivation was much lower than ordinary people, so Lin Fei decided to race forward here and absorb all the things he needed!

"Junior brother, time to go, it’s getting dark," Li Qing said.

Lin Fei nodded at this moment, abiding by the rules he had no choice. Watching as the disciples around began to disperse, Lin Fei also walked towards the outside.

However, what surprised Lin Fei was that when the disciples passed by this mysterious sweeping elder, they all bowed respectfully to him, which was simply unbelievable.

"Who is this old man?" Lin Fei asked.

Upon hearing Lin Fei’s words, the disciples nearby were instantly shocked, staring at Lin Fei, Li Qing immediately covered Lin Fei’s mouth, "This is our junior brother from the lower realm, unfamiliar with the courtesies, please don’t mind him."

Then Lin Fei was dragged away by Li Qing, and after escaping from there, Li Qing took a breath.

"You, you, if you don’t watch your mouth, sooner or later, it will be the death of you." Li Qing said.

"Your senior brother is right," Yang Yuxiang also patted his chest, showing that he was also startled by Lin Fei’s words.

Lin Fei was even more puzzled, "Then tell me, who exactly is this old man?"

"He, we don’t know his identity either, but you must understand one thing, it’s rumored that someone saw this old man sparring with the old Sect Master, so even if an emperor comes to the Book Pavilion, they must show him respect, let alone us little folks, so in the future, you’d better not say such alarming words!"

Watching Li Qing and Yang Yuxiang’s pale faces from fright, Lin Fei was curious inside, why would such an elder choose to stay in the Book Pavilion?

Unable to understand, Lin Fei didn’t want to think further, let nature take its course. Moreover, what the elder does seems unrelated to him, Lin Fei now aims to quickly absorb knowledge and increase his chances of survival, so he plans to go back to the Book Pavilion tomorrow.

"Lin Fei, where are you planning to go tomorrow?"

Lin Fei said with a smile, "I should be going to the Book Pavilion tomorrow."

"Haha, if that’s the case, I won’t disturb you. You, the cultivation maniac, also need to change places every now and then." Li Qing laughed, Lin Fei was indeed very diligent, knowing well that Lin Fei wanted to become a strong person soon, an undeterred strong person.

This aspect was admirable, though he couldn’t fully commit, as he still had someone on his mind.

Time drifted by, second by second, Lin Fei practiced at home overnight, realizing indeed some insights had effect, at least they contributed to his foundation.

Now Lin Fei had reached the Golden Core Realm, but he was increasingly confused, all his cells were Golden Cores, what should he do? Would his entire body turn into Nascent Souls? That was obviously impossible!

Lin Fei attempted to change the nucleus of the cells or to rotate the nucleus or to make the nucleus stronger, but it was to no avail, ultimately, the nucleus remained golden yellow.

Regarding this, Lin Fei was quite speechless, ultimately letting nature take its course.

On the next day, as dawn broke, Lin Fei arrived at the Book Pavilion, he saw the elder still sweeping, Lin Fei saluted the elder and directly entered the Book Pavilion, then started reading from where he left off yesterday.

Lin Fei took a look, the tallest bookshelf in the Book Pavilion was only about a meter high, there were approximately two hundred rows of books in the entire Book Pavilion, and in one row, there were at least a thousand books, making it twenty thousand at least, including cultivation experiences or historical records, as well as cultivation techniques and martial arts.

Such a vast number of martial arts skills and various books were just left open for disciples to read, this made Lin Fei feel simply unbelievable.

Yet Lin Fei didn’t care much about those, he believed Qianhuang Peak surely had other libraries, after all, disciples could access only a part making it reasonable, and Lin Fei indeed hadn’t seen higher-level books.

Swiftly, Lin Fei’s daily pace, he could only read a row, perhaps a thousand books or more, of course, some bookshelves had two to three thousand books, due to the number of bamboo slips or memory stones.

But Lin Fei’s speed was already quite fast, at least when filtering through many, Lin Fei could manage to read this much, reading a row per day meant Lin Fei needed at least two hundred days to finish completely.

Yet, as everyone left, Lin Fei had not noticed that night had fallen, he remained in the cavern reading.

Thus, as the next day arrived, the first person to come to the Book Pavilion found Lin Fei already there, greeted him, "Junior brother, you’re here so early!"

Lin Fei didn’t respond to him, this senior shrugged, said no more, evidently understanding Lin Fei’s engrossment, went on to find the book he wanted to read.

An entire day passed again, Lin Fei finished two rows of books, continuing to move upwards, reading other books, as night fell, Lin Fei still did not leave, like a madman, he finished four rows of books in just two days, and he was reading faster and faster.

His head was filled with more and more things, gradually Lin Fei seemed to merge with these bookshelves, he continuously selected books, without noticing, Lin Fei’s spiritual power rapidly increased.

With more content filling his mind, Lin Fei’s spiritual power also enhanced, without realizing it, Lin Fei could even scan the bamboo tube with his spiritual power, an article would appear in his mind, quickly analyzed by Lin Fei, leaving the useful parts behind.
