"Marry?"
Zhang Xuan's cheeks twitched as he subconsciously took a step back. He had nearly been scared to death.
Big Sister, you shouldn't joke around like that!
My heart can't take it …
To be honest, Bai Ruanqing was not ugly at all. On the contrary, she was extremely beautiful, especially her long and slender legs. But … he was a man with a girlfriend, not to mention, his girlfriend was a female dinosaur who would beat him up the moment he displeased her … Even a man made of steel would not be able to withstand it!
At the very least, he did not have masochistic tendencies.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Zhang Xuan's shocked expression, Bai Ruanqing, who was immersed in her reverie, turned to look at him doubtfully.
I'm going to marry I Am Low Profile, so why are you retreating and panicking?
"It's nothing much …" Zhang Xuan wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and chuckled awkwardly. At the same time, he made up his mind to protect I Am Low Profile's identity.
"Grandpa Feng has explained this swordsmanship to me in detail. It should be like this …"
Paying no heed to Zhang Xuan's shock, Bai Ruanqing continued explaining the sword art to him, and Liu Lujie and the others widened their eyes in realization.
After listening for a moment, Zhang Xuan suppressed the urge to puke. Turning his head away, he lowered his head and feigned ignorance, pretending not to have heard anything.
To think that someone would misinterpret his swordsmanship in such a manner … If he were to continue listening, he would really be tempted to beat someone up!
To be honest, if not for his lack of strength, he would have long pried open the coffin of the founder of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion to see how he managed to groom such a group of descendants.
"Forget it. If it comes down to it, I'll just find an opportunity to give them some pointers …"
After a while, Bai Ruanqing finally finished her explanation, and with a satisfied look on her face, she leaped onto the back of the aerial beast. Zhang Xuan quickly followed behind her.
The peak where the core disciples resided wasn't too far away from the inner disciples. It was situated amid the white clouds, and it felt like a paradise.
Sitting on the back of the aerial beast, Zhang Xuan could sense that the spiritual energy here was much denser than the spiritual energy in the inner disciples' peak, allowing him to cultivate more efficiently.
"The library is right ahead. This is my identity token, so you can enter with it. I'll pick you up in six hours!"
Bai Ruanqing instructed as the beast landed in front of a massive library.
She was known as the female tyrannosaurus, so she had no patience when it came to reading books. Rather than waiting here, she might as well bring the medicine to her grandfather as soon as possible so that he would suffer less pain.
"Thank you!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
It was for the best that the other party didn't follow him. After all, the way he read books was different from everyone else.
Just like the inner disciples' library, one could enter it as long as they paid enough Sword Pavilion Coins.
It was four Sword Pavilion Coins for two hours in the inner sect, but it was ten times that in the outer sect. It was forty Sword Pavilion Coins for two hours.
However, he was now rich and overbearing, so he didn't care about this. He directly gave 120 pills and set a time limit of six hours.
The cultivation techniques and sword arts in the core disciples' library were indeed far more profound than those in the inner disciples' library. There were even Pseudo Immortal realm cultivation techniques among them. Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up as he swiftly scanned through the books and collected all of them into the Library of Heaven's Path.
No matter what, cultivation techniques and cultivation were the most important.
As long as he could form the Heaven's Path Divine Art, given his current wealth, raising his cultivation would be a walk in the park.
…
Bai Ruanqing returned to her residence and walked up to Elder Bai Ye, who was still lying feebly on the bed.
"Grandfather, I have bought the medicine!"
Bai Ruanqing said as she passed the three jade bottles she had just obtained over.
"This is the medicine you gave me the other time?"
Elder Bai Ye took the jade bottle and uncorked it. After examining it for a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Countless physicians in the sect had concocted countless precious pills, but none of them had any effect on his injuries. He had thought that the medicine that could wake him up would be something even more valuable, but who could have thought that it would be the same as clear water? He couldn't sense the slightest bit of spiritual energy at all!
In fact, he couldn't even sense the slightest bit of medicinal energy!
Was this … really effective?
Seeing the look on Elder Bai Ye's face, Bai Ruanqing said with a smile, "It looks unremarkable, but it's able to treat your injuries. Hurry up and consume it!"
Back then, she had been unable to recognize it either. If not for her desperate situation, she would have never believed that an inner disciple's medicine would be able to treat her elder's injuries.
"Let me give it a try!"
Elder Bai Ye had already heard about it from Bai Feng and his granddaughter, so without any hesitation, he raised the jade bottle and gulped it down.
As soon as the medicinal liquid flowed down his throat, he immediately felt the injuries that he had been unable to treat for a long time starting to ease. At the same time, the corrosive energy that was corroding his internal organs gradually thinned out.
"Incredible!"
Elder Bai Ye's eyes lit up in excitement. Without any doubt, he opened the remaining two bottles and swallowed them down.
Seeing her grandfather gulping down three bottles in a row, Bai Ruanqing asked nervously, "How is it?"
Hu!
Without replying, Elder Bai Ye, who was lying on the bed, pressed his palm lightly, and he suddenly appeared in the middle of the courtyard. A sword materialized in his hand.
Tzzzzzz!
Sword qi whistled through the air as the spiritual energy in the courtyard gathered around Elder Bai Ye. One move after another, Elder Bai Ye's movements were as smooth as flowing water. From the looks of it, he didn't seem to be injured at all!
"Grandfather, are you fully recovered?"
Bai Ruanqing's eyes reddened when she saw her grandfather, who had been lying on the bed a moment ago, suddenly running into the courtyard to practice his swordsmanship.
"I'm still some way off from fully recovering, but the corrosive energy that I couldn't get rid of previously has been completely removed. As long as I recuperate well, I should be able to make a full recovery within a month!" Elder Bai Ye exclaimed in excitement.
He had thought that his life would be over just like that, but who could have thought that this seemingly unremarkable medicinal liquid would have such a miraculous effect?
"Congratulations, grandfather!"
Bai Ruanqing said.
"The person who sold you the medicinal liquid saved my life. May I know where he is at the moment? I would like to meet him! " After cultivating for a while longer, Elder Bai Ye felt that his spirit, energy, and spirit were slowly recovering, so he stopped and turned around to ask.
"He's an inner disciple. I just brought him to the core disciples' library!"
Bai Ruanqing replied.
"Core disciples' library?"
Seeing that her grandfather was still perplexed, Bai Ruanqing quickly explained Zhang Xuan's request to him.
"To take out such a potent medicinal liquid and only ask him to browse through books …" Elder Bai Ye could hardly believe what he was hearing. "In this era where strength reigns supreme, he still wants to browse through books? Is there really such a person in the world?"
"That's right!" Bai Ruanqing nodded.
To be honest, she was also shocked that the other party only wanted to browse through books.
If it had been anyone else, they would have been able to enter the core disciples easily with just a few requests.
"Let's head to the library to take a look …" Elder Bai Ye nodded. However, a moment later, he suddenly paused for a moment. "Wait a moment, Ah Feng!"
"Old Master!" Bai Feng rushed forward.
"Here's an Appearance Alteration Pill. Consume it, and it will allow you to change your appearance for two hours. Suppress your cultivation to the same level as that friend over there, and find an opportunity to test him …"
Elder Bai Ye flicked his wrist and took out a jade bottle.
"Test him?"
Bai Feng's eyes lit up as he took the pill. "Old Master, are you intending to take him in as your disciple?"
As an elder of the sect, he could not possibly test a disciple for no good reason, not to mention that the other party was indebted to him!
There could only be one reason for him to do so, and that was to take him in as his disciple!
"Not bad at all, knowing that Ruanqing is buying it, and yet, he didn't try to extort her. On top of that, he has saved my life. If I were to let him into the library without doing anything, wouldn't my life be a little too worthless? "Elder Bai Ye said with his hands behind his back.
No matter what, he was one of the Three Grand Elders of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, a renowned figure on the Forsaken Continent.
It would be shameful for him to do something like this after his life was saved.
"I understand your intentions, Old Master!"
Bai Feng replied with a smile. "The injuries in the City of Collapsed Space have always been incurable. Even if he were to use up all of the pills that he has sold to you, it would still be a huge temptation to others. The Old Master is afraid that he might get into trouble because of this, so he decided to take him in as your disciple. This can be considered as a form of protection! "
There were many treasures in the City of Collapsed Space, and it was a place that countless experts yearned to enter. However, it was extremely dangerous as well. Less than one in a hundred would be able to return alive, and even if they did, they would suffer grievous injuries that would eventually lead to their deaths.
Over the past several thousand years, countless geniuses on the Forsaken Continent had tried to enter the City of Collapsed Space, but to no avail.
At this moment, if news were to spread that Bai Feng was in possession of a healing pill, he would surely become the target of many, and that would put him in grave danger.
If he were to be taken in as his disciple, even if others wanted to lay their hands on him, they would have to consider Elder Bai Ye's words first.
Elder Bai Ye took a deep breath and said, "Even though the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion is relatively safe, there are still many people who harbor ill intentions in their hearts. This way, I can consider it as repaying him for saving my life so that he won't be punished. Of course, the prerequisite is that he possesses sufficient strength. If his comprehension of swordsmanship is too weak, I'll be embarrassed if I take him in as my disciple. "
"Yes, I'll get it done right now!"
Bai Feng nodded before vanishing from the spot.
"Grandfather, are you really going to take him in as your disciple?"
Bai Ruanqing asked with a conflicted look on her face. "Doesn't that mean that I'm a generation younger than him?"
"Un. I've never accepted a disciple before. Let's just hope that he'll be able to clear Bai Feng's examination," Elder Bai Ye said with a smile. "As long as he succeeds, he'll become your Senior Uncle. As a junior, you mustn't mess around. I've heard quite a bit about the trouble you caused in the core disciples! "
"Senior Uncle …"
Bai Ruanqing gritted her teeth.
She had thought that the other party was a cute and honest fellow, but the thought of him becoming her Senior Uncle despite being younger than her left her fuming with rage.
"Grandfather, since you're fine, I'll be heading off to cultivate!"
Bai Ruanqing nodded in contemplation.
"Go on!"
Elder Bai Ye waved his hand.
He had just recovered from his injuries, so his body was still a little weak.
As soon as she left the residence, Bai Ruanqing's obedient demeanor immediately changed. A pair of canine teeth were bared as a vicious glint flashed in her eyes. "I'll teach him a lesson first … At most, I'll just address him as Senior Uncle in front of grandfather, and when there's no one else around, I'll make him address me as Senior Sister!"
She was known as a female dinosaur, and ever since she was young, she had never been taken advantage of before. To address someone younger than her as Senior Uncle … she could not stand it!
No matter who he is, I'll teach him a lesson first …
In any case, her grandfather was going to take the examination soon.
The aerial saint beast landed in front of the library once more. Given her identity, she did not need a token to enter the library.
"Didn't he say that he's reading books?"
Bai Ruanqing frowned as she entered the library.
The entire library was eerily quiet, as if no one had been here before. There was no sound of anyone flipping through books at all.
Walking along the bookshelves, Bai Ruanqing finally noticed the young man standing in front of a row of bookshelves. He wasn't holding a book in his hand, and he wasn't even looking at it. Instead, he was looking at the direction of the books, shaking his head nonstop.
"What are you doing?"
Bai Ruanqing couldn't help but ask when she saw that the young man had no intention of taking out a book.
"Oh, you're here!"
Zhang Xuan smiled upon seeing that it was Bai Ruanqing. "I'm looking for the books that I'm looking for."
As expected of the library of the core disciples, there were so many books here, but even after so long, he had only managed to collect less than half of them.
From the looks of it, it would really take six hours for him to collect all of them.
