No matter what kind of martial arts one practiced, or what kind of knowledge one researched, one needed to spend a great deal of time and energy to achieve a true breakthrough.
Although Qin Di had received Zhong Xianshu's teachings, the time he had spent studying immortal text was too short, so there were many flaws that needed time to slowly make up for.
Therefore, after Qin Di entered the Xianwen Sect headquarters, he began to listen to lectures and attend gatherings.
In every gathering, he listened more, watched more, and spoke less. He only brought along the ordinary Wenyuan Shui charm, not showing off, not revealing, slowly learning and accumulating.
Unknowingly, two hundred years passed, and he gradually made up for his shortcomings.
Then, he reduced the number of lectures and gatherings, and began to enter the Imperial Library Pavilion and the stele forest, quietly studying immortal text.
Because he had the token of a hidden disciple, although he looked similar to a true disciple, there were still people who recognized him at critical moments. The Immortal Wen Pavilion didn't have many restrictions on Legacy Disciples, but they had even fewer restrictions on Hidden Disciples. He could spend a great deal of time in the Imperial Library Pavilion and the stele forest, unlike other disciples who had a certain time limit every year.
The Imperial Library Pavilion was like the Tower of Skysplit. From top to bottom, there were a total of ninety-nine floors, and the higher one went, the higher the level.
From the first floor, Qin Di first came into contact with the simplest immortal text. Each simple immortal text had many variations, and the entire floor had a total of three thousand models.
On the second floor, it was still the simpler immortal text, and there were also three thousand models.
There were ten floors in a row, and each floor had three thousand models of the Wenyuan Shui charm.
Further up, as the immortal text became more and more complex, the number of people studying it decreased, and the variations of each immortal text correspondingly decreased. As a result, the entire floor had empty spots, and there were less than three thousand models.
Below the tenth floor of the Imperial Library Pavilion, there were many disciples on each floor. There were still many people who came here to study the Wenyuan Shui charm. Although the sect had different levels of restrictions for disciples, the number of disciples was still relatively large. So basically, there were many disciples coming and going every day.
Above the fifteenth floor, the number of models placed on each floor gradually decreased, and the number of disciples who came to these floors also began to sharply decrease.
On the twentieth floor, there were only two thousand models left on each floor, and there were only three to five disciples who could cultivate here.
Qin Di climbed to the 30th floor in one go and saw that there was almost no one around. There were only about a thousand models, and half of them were empty.
And at this time, he had no choice but to stop, because he gradually realized that there were many immortal characters around him that he did not recognize. The higher one went, the more difficult it would be. Forcing oneself to climb higher was equivalent to pulling up seedlings to help them grow. It was meaningless.
Qin Di walked down from the thirtieth floor, stopping at each floor for twenty years. After six hundred years, he had more or less mastered the various variations of the thirty thousand immortal characters that he had previously mastered.
Then, he walked out of the Xianwen Sect and came to the stele forest that covered an area of tens of thousands of acres.
In this vast stele forest, there were not only 108,000 immortal characters, but also a large number of precious immortal character rubbings.
However, the Xianwen Sect had a rule that according to the difficulty and rarity of immortal characters, there were only 12,000 immortal characters, which were open to ordinary inner sect disciples; 24,000 immortal characters, which were open to elite disciples; and 36,000 immortal characters, which were open to true disciples.
And as a hidden disciple, Qin Di, in principle, had no restrictions. However, the sect elders felt that even a hidden disciple had to act according to one's ability and not go too far ahead. Otherwise, not only would it not be beneficial, but it would also be harmful.
Because of this, as a hidden disciple, he could study 48,000 immortal characters. If he was an immortal character grandmaster, he could also obtain the permission of the guardian of the stele forest, Jin Xian, to study even more immortal characters.
Qin Di studied here day and night. Because he did not have a master to guide him, his advancement speed was not fast. After almost another eight hundred years, he had only grasped 40,000 immortal characters. He could be considered to have advanced from immortal character great master to immortal character grandmaster.
But eight hundred years only increased to 8,000 immortal characters, and when he studied with Zhong Xianshu, he learned 32,000 immortal characters in a hundred years. It could be seen that the difference was still very big.
Just as he was hesitating whether or not to pay a visit to other immortal character grandmasters, or to seek guidance from the sect seniors or immortal character grandmasters, he suddenly received good news: Master Zhong Xianshu had returned!
Qin Di had Zhong Xianshu's sound tablet, so when he heard the summons, he quickly went to find him.
The palace where Zhong Xianshu lived was not far from the Imperial Library Pavilion, close to the Imperial Library Lake, and the lakeside was filled with willow trees.
After six or seven thousand years, Qin Di once again saw Zhong Xianshu.
At this time, Zhong Xianshu's face was covered with dust, and his figure was even thinner. Moreover, his left arm was clearly thinner than his right arm. It was very likely that his left arm had been cut off by someone, and it had just been activated.
When Qin Di saw him, he quickly went up to pay his respects: "Disciple greets master, long time no see. Master, are you well?"
Zhong Xianshu sighed and said: "Master went out this time and almost couldn't come back!"
"Master, did you run into danger?"
"That's right. Master was originally already very careful, only going to the 28 constellations' core stars and not going anywhere else. But even so, I still ran into a low-level Sengoku's obstruction when I was traveling through the constellations. If not for the Tier 9 immortal artifact borrowed from your grandmaster, I probably wouldn't even last one round and would be abducted by that person! "
Qin Di sucked in a cold breath and said: "Master ran into a Sengoku? It's simply a miracle that you were able to escape successfully! "
Zhong Xianshu waved his hand: "It was that Sengoku who was too careless! The place where he made a move, people came and went. Fortunately, there was a Tianbao Hall's god of fortune who happened to pass by there and made a move to save me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to come back either! "
Qin Di gave rise to anger in his heart and asked: "Master, did you see just who made a move? Who actually dared to make things difficult for our Xianwen Sect? "
Zhong Xianshu said: "That person changed his appearance, but I recognized the cultivation technique he executed, and it belongs to a type of Returning Wind Qi. This is a cultivation technique passed down in Lingxiao Hall, so it's very likely that it was someone from Lingxiao Hall that made a move. They've been coveting Xianwen Sect for a very long time, and they've always been forcing Xianwen Sect to join Lingxiao Hall. But Xianwen Sect chose to cooperate with Tianbao Hall. In this way, they can't do it openly, so they can only do it in the dark! "
Qin Di took a deep breath and suppressed his rage, and then he said: "Master, do you intend to go out again after coming back this time?"
Zhong Xianshu shook his head: "Master will stay in the sect and prepare for a hundred years to teach a few disciples, and then I'll enter into closed door cultivation. I don't take many disciples, and I only have six. You're ranked fifth, and there are two senior brothers and two senior sisters above you. "
Qin Di said: "Congratulations Master for taking in another little disciple."
Zhong Xianshu said indifferently: "Among these disciples, Master is still the most optimistic about you, and also gave the only hidden disciple quota to you. That's why I called you over first to warn you not to tell anyone about this. "
Qin Di said: "Thank you for the reminder, Master, disciple understands."
Zhong Xianshu looked at him up and down, and the more he looked, the more amazed he was, and praised: "Your cultivation progress is really fast! Just six to seven thousand years, and you advanced from Third Order Sky Immortal to Ninth Order Sky Immortal! Master has stepped into the cultivation world for millions of years, but I've never seen someone who cultivated as fast as you! "
Qin Di also understood, so many years had passed, but Master only advanced one rank.
Zhong Xianshu was Zu Xian Fifth Order, and now he was Zu Xian Sixth Order.
Qin Di thought for a moment, and answered: "Disciple had some fortuitous encounter, and swallowed a seventh rank immortal peach and many immortal pills, that's how I reached my current realm."
