Inside the secret abode was a world of books.
Countless books.
There were all kinds of ancient books, rubbings, and wooden engravings. There were even bronze Zun characters.
"…" Seeing that it was full of books, piled up like a mountain, and the bookshelves were densely arranged like a sea of books, everyone didn't know how to react.
How could cultivators like to read so much? It wasn't that cultivators didn't read at all, but the number of books in the millions was too terrifying! Moreover, these books were collected from ancient times. Printing was not as convenient as modern times, so it was really difficult to get so many different kinds of books!
No one was interested in ordinary books.
Most of them were ancient music fragments, hidden records of poetry, or anecdotes of the major sects in ancient times.
What everyone wanted to find the most were the secret manuals of the Black Wind Golden Gui Sect or sword techniques. Unfortunately, there were none. However, there were several secret manuals of the other sects. After flipping through them, they found that these secret manuals were all low-level techniques. Not to mention Qian Jun and Ye Qianru, even Abbey Dean Yin Shu and the Shallow Fate Nunnery Master were not interested in them. Abbess Ba Ku took out a pile of long-lost scriptures and put her palms together in joy.
Unlike Abbess Ba Ku who liked scriptures, Abbess Ba Men liked ancient Zen paintings.
There weren't many ancient paintings.
But she also got a Lonely Pine Monk Rock Painting.
It was a freehand landscape, a lonely pine, a skinny old monk sitting quietly under a rock, and a setting sun. The whole picture was full of Zen.
"Do you want to enter a treasure mountain empty-handed?" Senior Sister Yun Ji looked at Abbey Master Yinshu and Master Qianyuan with a smile.
"It's not a treasure mountain, it's a book mountain! Although it's big, I'm not made for reading! "Abbey Master Yinshu shook her head and sighed.
"I'm definitely going to take it, but I'll just take an ancient zither song book. Unfortunately, it's not the legendary Guangling San, or I'll have no regrets in this trip!" Seeing that Abbess Ba Ku and Abbess Ba Men had taken it, Abbess Qianyuan couldn't refuse, lest she looked too aloof, which would make her feel bad. Besides, books were different from gold, silver, and other treasures. It was not a big deal to take them!
"Then I'll take a book on Women's White Hands! Nuonuo and the others have almost forgotten everything about their ancestors. It's just the right time to bring it back for them to learn from! "Temple Master Yinshu loved her disciples dearly. She couldn't forget the book even after taking it.
"What about you?" Senior Sister Yun Jiyu looked at Lin Dong.
"If I want to take it, I can take it all away with a wave of my hand." Lin Dong waved his hand and said, "You guys take your pick. I'll take the leftovers back to make a library. Books have to be read. If no one reads them, what's the point of just decorating them? "There are no secret arts or cultivation techniques inside. Actually, don't be too disappointed. You've already learned the things of your own sect. If you see that other cultivation techniques are not bad, then you'll be immersed in them. It's not good to learn too many things, and it'll be easy to get distracted. It's better to focus on improving. There are no surprises in the secret abode. Why don't I give you a little art from the Literature Cultivation? It doesn't have much power, but it'll be fun to use it together with your own power and usage! "
"Literary cultivator?" Upon hearing the word 'literary cultivator', everyone's interest was piqued.
"About literary cultivators, they existed in ancient times, but probably not anymore." Lin Dong estimated that the literary cultivators on the blue planet had already been lost, but in the Cultivation World, there were still many sects that practiced literary cultivators.
"The literary cultivator you mentioned, does it mean that writing an article or a poem is equivalent to practicing once?" Qianjun asked.
"No, they're the same as us. They have a strict cultivation and improvement process, which is the same as our cultivation direction. However, the way they express it is very unique. It's different from ordinary flying swords. They practice the Spiritual Pen. It's similar to our flying swords and the celestial artifacts of music cultivators, which are some kind of musical instrument. Their celestial artifacts are the four treasures of the scholar's study in ancient times, or seals. Then they use the art, which is the same as our secret spells, but the form of expression is writing. It's very similar to the hand seals of some sects. However, it turns the talismans, seals, and runes that outsiders can't understand into words that can be seen in the secular world. "Lin Dong briefly explained.
"It sounds interesting!" Ye Qianru had never thought that there was such a cultivation method.
"Tell me more about it!" Yun You You nodded with interest.
"There's an advantage of literary cultivators. They don't need to practice in the deep mountains like us. They can walk in the world and be a free and unrestrained immortal. In the ancient times, when the culture was very strong, they pretended to be scholars and traveled around. They could practice while they walked, and when they were happy, they could gather together to recite poems. If they wanted to practice alone, they could also hide in their houses and work hard. On the surface, they looked like scholars who studied hard, but in fact, they were literary cultivators. They were masters who hid in the market and were not noticed by outsiders! "Lin Dong laughed.
"That works too!" Abbey Dean Yinshu and the Abbess of Qian Yuan Nunnery were a little surprised.
"Why not? In ancient times, there were many cultivators in the world. There were free and unrestrained immortals like literary cultivators, ascetic cultivators who looked like beggars and relied on begging for a living every day. They suffered all kinds of insults but still accepted it calmly. There were also traveling monks and Taoist priests who exorcised corpses and ghosts for the common people. To put it a little lower, they set up stalls to tell fortunes, touch bones to read physiognomy, and learn Feng Shui. These are all marginal disciples of our cultivation world. It's just that they have completely integrated into the world and their skills are low, so they can only make a living in small skills! "After hearing Lin Dong's words, everyone realized that it was true.
"That's great! I want to learn! I want to learn this art of literary cultivators!" Ye Qianru nodded her head vigorously.
"Then everyone can pick a word!" Lin Dong stated his conditions.
"Pick a word?" Qianjun was slightly stunned.
"Is that word the incantation?" Senior Sister Yun Ji asked with a little excitement, "Is it the kind of incantation that 'Lin Bing Dou Zhe, All Advance in Groups'?"
"Theoretically, any word is fine. But for the sake of elegance, it's better to try to find a more suitable word. Actually, words are an opportunity for literary cultivators to cast their art. Even if they don't write, they can still cast it out of thin air. But cultivation is like that. Once they are used to it, they will use the words that they are used to. 'Lin Bing Dou Zhe' can be used, but if you don't use this, you can use any other word. For example, big or small, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, weng ba ma ni ba mi mi, or even popular words on the internet like Bo Bo Bo Bo Mi, Ma Li Ma Li Hao etc. There is no word that can't be used. "Lin Dong nodded his head.
"No matter what word is used, the art will be the same?" Yun You You asked.
"No!" Lin Dong waved his hand, "This is related to the person's attributes."
"Can each person only pick one word?" Qianjun asked.
"Those with high skills can pick a few more words. But if your skills aren't high enough, or if you think that one word is enough, then try to use as few or only one word as possible!" Lin Dong smiled and said, "If your skills are really unbelievably high, then you can create a Thousand Word Classic or a Ten Thousand Word Classic."
"Then forget it. Thousand and ten thousand words are too long. I won't be able to remember them!" Ye Qianru shook her head.
"Try to pick an odd number of words. One, three, five, seven, nine. Once you are sure, I will decide it for you. When the time comes, you can just say it or write it with a wave of your hand. The art behind the word will appear. The effect will be displayed the moment the word appears." Lin Dong demonstrated. He stretched out his hand and wrote the word 'fire' in the air.
But before he could write the word 'fire'.
Just a stroke.
Then it started to burn.
When he finished writing the word 'fire', it immediately turned into a blazing fireball and floated in front of Lin Dong.
Lin Dong waved his hand and put the fireball to the side. Then he wrote the word 'water'. As a result, it became a ball of water that slowly rotated. Ye Qianru reached out and touched it. It was slightly indented like jelly, but it didn't spill out.
Ye Qianru simply reached in and grabbed a ball of water from the ball of water.
The water left the ball of water.
It didn't fall to the ground. Instead, it floated back into the ball of water as if it had a mind of its own and fused together again.
Senior Sister Yun Jiyu was a martial arts cultivator. Even Temple Mistress Yinshu and the other sect leaders who knew how to use arts were dazzled and intoxicated by it. When it came to water and fire arts, it wasn't difficult for them to create a fireball or a ball of water with their own efforts. But to see Lin Dong casually change the shape of the water, then stop at will, and finally destroy the ball of water and it can automatically restore itself. This kind of skill was far beyond their reach.
"Tea!" Lin Dong used his finger to draw in the air. A ball of boiling hot tea floated in the air.
"Pot!"
"Cup!"
When Lin Dong finished drawing, the tea was automatically poured into the teapot.
Then, it automatically tilted and poured into the cups. Finally, the four parts of the book floated in front of everyone, inviting everyone to taste …
Temple Mistress Yinshu took the teacup and impatiently took a sip. She realized that the fragrance of the tea was not an illusion, but real tea entered her stomach. Furthermore, it was filled with spiritual energy, making her whole body feel relaxed. She couldn't help but shake her head and sigh. "This is the real way of celestial beings!"
Once she said that, Temple Mistress Qian Yuan nodded in agreement.
Yun You You, who smelled the fragrance of the tea, couldn't help but laugh.
Senior Sister Yun Jiyu sniffed it carefully. "This tea seems to be the spiritual tea that you specially brewed, right? The fragrance and taste are exactly the same! "
Lin Dong laughed out loud. "Of course it's the same, because I brewed it with that tea! Things can be changed out of thin air, but that takes too much effort, and it's not worth it. If there's something in reality to replace it, then it'll be easy and natural to cast spells to change it. I'm just using these words as an example. You can choose one that you like. Then, I'll specially create a fixed spell based on everyone's attributes, skills, and skills. After this spell is set, it'll look like this. The increase in skills will only increase the effect, but there won't be any change in the essence. You can choose your own words first! "
"The spell of a literary cultivator is quite interesting, I'll choose first!" Yun You You saw that everyone was tempted, but she was embarrassed, so she took the initiative to make an example. "I'll choose three words! The first word is' fixed ', the second word is' strength ', and the third word is' firmness'. "
"Three is too little, can I have five!" Ye Qianru knew that Yun You You didn't care about this, but she wanted a few more words. More words meant more combinations!
"Sure." Lin Dong waved his hand to indicate that it was a small matter.
"I'll go first, I want the five words of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth!" Qianjun interrupted halfway.
"Ah, you're too cunning, I just want these five words!" Ye Qianru was so frustrated that she stomped her feet anxiously.
"Sorry, I'll take it first, ha!" This was the effect that Qianjun wanted. If it was something else, she wouldn't be in a hurry to stop her and take it first!
"Really … Then I'll take the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. Although it's not very smooth, I can't think of anything better at the moment." Ye Qianru thought for a while and decided to choose a word that matched her own attributes. This way, it wouldn't deviate too much.
"Actually, you can choose a poem." Yun You You suggested that she choose a poem. It would look more beautiful.
"I'm afraid that if I choose something that doesn't match my attributes, then a good poem would be wasted!" This was what Ye Qianru was worried about.
"What about you guys?" Seeing that they had decided, Lin Dong looked at Senior Sister Yun Jiyu, Abbey Dean Yinshu, and the others. Senior Sister Yun Jiyu was excited, but she was afraid that her Junior Sister would find out, so she quickly waved her hands. "I usually use my fists and legs, this is only for support, so I'll be the last one!"
"M-me?" Abbey Dean Yinshu felt that her mind was blank, and she couldn't grasp any words.
