All the cultivators were dumbfounded. Li Qingshan shrugged his shoulders. "I'm just kidding. I'm not Spirit Venerable."
Everyone burst out laughing. Only Spirit Venerable Guihai had such an ability in the whole Nature Sect.
"Everyone, please continue with your business. Every time I come here, I'm in a hurry. Let's have a good tour."
Li Qingshan declined a female cultivator's kind offer to be his tour guide. He wandered among the bookshelves alone. His fingertips swept over the spines of the books, but he didn't take out any of them. It seemed he was really just here to tour.
But no one noticed that his fingertips were shining with an undetectable spiritual light, and he was holding a jade slip in his other hand.
Probing, collecting, recording … He didn't miss a single book.
Since he was a disciple, he didn't need to pay any bookmark to read the books on this floor.
Only a small part of them were related to cultivation, and their levels were limited, so they wouldn't be of much help to him. The rest were novels, human geography, and other miscellaneous books, which could broaden his horizons.
However, every book that could be placed here had been selected by Spirit Venerable Guihai. Even the lowest-level cultivation Dharmic formulation was exquisite, simple, and all-encompassing. It was the accumulation of the Myriad Phenomenon Sect over a million years. It was not something any sect in the trichiliocosm could compare with.
It was enough to lay a solid foundation for the cultivation path of the Five Continents. Even if it was just novels, he could show them to novelists to improve their writing skills, and he could exchange them for more bookmarks next time.
Of course, the most important thing was that everything was free. And as his status increased, more and more free books would be available to him. It would be enough for him to establish a complete cultivation system in the Five Continents, completely breaking the monopoly of all the sects and families, and all living creatures could find their own paths in it.
Back then, his slogan was "Everyone can practice." Now, it was "Everyone can practice."
Even he couldn't imagine what kind of world it would be. Anyway, it would be very interesting! He couldn't help but chuckle. This reason was enough.
The only question now was, would Spirit Venerable Guihai stop him?
He, who also had the bloodline of the spirit turtle, could almost imagine Spirit Venerable Guihai looking at him and carrying out extremely complicated calculations. He was trying to analyze all the pros and cons, and predict future changes.
As time passed, Li Qingshan walked past hundreds of bookshelves. No one stopped him from recording tens of thousands of books on the jade slip.
He smiled. This was probably the limitation of the spirit turtle clan. Something like fate could not be calculated or predicted at the end of the day. Therefore, hiding in the Sinkhole was the safest.
When Li Qingshan walked out of the sky, it was already several days later. He felt a splitting headache, and the stars in the sky were spinning.
He shook his head forcefully. He had underestimated the amount of knowledge the Heavens possessed. Senior-apprentice Brother Pi was probably getting impatient from waiting. He shook his head vigorously and walked towards the Abundance Department.
In the sky. Spirit Sovereign Guihai stared at his back. His expression was somewhat uneasy. As the Heaven Lord, he naturally saw everything Li Qingshan did. This should not have been strange. A person with the bloodline of a spirit turtle would basically gather all knowledge instinctively before storing it and analysing it.
What really excited him was that he tried to predict the "consequences" of this action, but his deductions always collapsed at the beginning. It wasn't because it was too complicated and he didn't have time to analyze it, but because it was too huge.
Many years ago, he was swimming in the sea. A huge shadow swam in the deep sea below. He didn't recognize it until a long time later that it was a kun. At that time, he didn't feel shocked, but he couldn't understand it. His mind was frozen.
It was the same now. They were just some low-level miscellaneous books. How could they have such a huge impact?
So, just like that time, he chose to stay still and wait for fate to reveal itself.
At the very top of the Abundance Department, Pi Yangqiu grabbed Li Qingshan by the collar. "Kid, how dare you make me wait for so long!?" He was a mighty true disciple, and he wanted to give a disciple who had just entered the hall a tremendous benefit. But he waited for a few days, which was too disrespectful.
"Senior-apprentice Brother, please forgive me. The Spirit Venerable wanted me to stay and talk about the Book of Freedom. I couldn't get away!"
"Don't use the Spirit Venerable against me! Do you really think I don't know what you are doing in the sky? "
Pi Yangqiu said angrily. Many people had seen Li Qingshan wandering in the lowest levels of the sky. How could he escape his surveillance?
Li Qingshan said with a smile, "I'm just giving you a way out, to make you feel better."
Pi Yangqiu didn't know what to do with him. A guy who dared to face his furious senior sister wouldn't be scared by his aura. Moreover, this guy had gone through four Heavenly Tribulations, so he must be even more fearless. The anger on his face suddenly disappeared.
"Senior-apprentice Brother Li, I have a good news and a bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Li Qingshan said with his huge hands, "Senior-apprentice Brother, I know. The good news is that I got the Mysterious Underworld Cave. The bad news is that I have to deal with a real dragon."
"These things are natural. They aren't really a 'surprise'!" Pi Yangqiu emphasized the word "surprise" maliciously.
Li Qingshan grinned. "I like surprises the most. What's the good news?"
"Congratulations, you've become a Chamber Disciple."
Pi Yangqiu patted Li Qingshan's shoulder. The badge on his chest suddenly lit up. It was even brighter than when he offered the Unfettered Scripture.
On the Versatility List, Li Qingshan's name suddenly broke through the limit of a Chamber Disciple. He immediately became a Chamber Disciple of the Versatility Sect. Everyone was dumbfounded.
Li Qingshan was also shocked. "What does this mean?"
Pi Yangqiu smiled. "Because you contributed to the sect. This is a reward from the Abundance Department."
"This … isn't cheating, is it?" Li Qingshan also felt that something was wrong. The so-called contribution was just a few words. The contribution could be big or small. It might not be worth such a big contribution.
"Yes and no."
"Then please take it back, Senior Brother! I don't need to cheat to become a True Disciple. Why should I give it to others? "
"It's because you will definitely become a True Disciple that I have to give you this contribution. Otherwise, do you think the Abundance Department is a charity?"
"Why?" Li Qingshan was even more surprised.
Pi Yangqiu lowered his voice and held his shoulder. "Tell me first, did Senior Sister Ruan help you cheat?"
"Of course not!" Li Qingshan said decisively. His contribution to the Herb Garden was indeed that big. Ruan Yaozhu was quite inflexible in this aspect.
Pi Yangqiu looked at Li Qingshan for a moment. "I believe in Junior Sister Ruan's character. She won't break her principles for a pretty boy. But others might not think so."
"Who's the pretty boy?" Li Qingshan was very dissatisfied. "And who are the others?"
"The other True Disciples, the people standing across the gambling table. With the speed of your contribution, it won't be hard to become a True Disciple in thirty years. What's worse is that there's almost no risk of dying in a place like the Herb Garden. "
Li Qingshan understood. "So they will deal with me? These True Disciples are too ungentlemanly. "
Pi Yangqiu shook his head. "Who told you to cheat?"
"When did I cheat? My work in the Herb Garden can stand up to anyone's scrutiny."
Pi Yangqiu smiled. "I'm talking about just now."
"Pi Yangqiu, you tricked me!" Li Qingshan pointed at Pi Yangqiu's nose and said angrily.
Pi Yangqiu lightly pushed his finger away. "Please note that even if you become a True Disciple, I will still be your Senior Brother."
"Didn't you bet on me winning? Why do you want to harm me? "
"The point is not whether you really cheated or not. It's that they think it's enough for you to cheat. No one was willing to admit defeat, especially when the bet had just begun. It was simply a slap in the face. But they won't go to the Herb Garden to inspect your work, nor will they question whether my contribution is reasonable. That would be offending Junior Sister Ruan and I. Instead, they will directly deal with you! "
Pi Yangqiu's index finger heavily poked Li Qingshan's chest.
"That's why you have to seize the initiative and quickly become a True Disciple."
"Yes, it's too easy for a True Disciple to deal with a True Disciple. They don't even need to find an excuse. Not all direct disciples are like Le Tian, who respects the rules of the bet, or like Chao Tianjiao, who is straightforward. There are also many bad people like me. "Pi Yangqiu patted his chest, his face showing no shame.
Li Qingshan rolled his eyes. "Then just because I'm a True Disciple, will they have any qualms?"
"Yes, they just need to find an excuse."
"What's the difference!"
"There's a big difference, but there's no difference. Just like what Le Tian said, you can never easily take everything from the gambling table. So the bad news is that they're probably angered by me now. Once you walk out of the Sky Mansion Department, you'll encounter a lot of trouble. I hope you'll be mentally prepared. "Pi Yangqiu helped Li Qingshan straighten his clothes and stuffed an item into his hands.
