"Are books this precious in this era?"
After walking around the Ji clan's West Prefecture City, Qi Heng discovered that there were very few places in the city that sold books, and they were extremely expensive.
"I have to find some books."
The bookstores in West Prefecture City treated books as luxury goods. They had beautiful packaging, beautiful appearances, and … exorbitant prices.
They were few and expensive. This didn't meet Qi Heng's requirements.
"The Ji clan is a large clan. They must have a lot of books! I'm afraid I'll have to ask them. "
The reason why he needed books was too embarrassing to say.
Because … Qi Heng couldn't read!
Whether it was Autarch Hunyuan or the Blackstone Boxer of Earth, neither of them could read the words of this era.
Even the technique he had given Hei Shan Gang was a divine will projection, not words.
A dignified Supreme-Being was actually illiterate. This was too inexcusable.
"Given my current spiritual strength, reading ten lines at a glance and having a photographic memory is a simple matter. So, I'll go find the Ji clan. Presumably, Ji Lie will help me. "
At Eastcloud Mountain, Qi Heng had let Ji Lie and the Black Armored Army go. Now that he had made such a small request, Ji Lie would definitely agree.
Thinking of this, Qi Heng turned and walked towards the Ji clan's main courtyard.
Although it was called the Ji clan's main courtyard, it was actually equivalent to an inner city.
"Halt!"
Qi Heng walked to the gates of the Ji clan's inner city. A squad of Black Armored Army soldiers was guarding the gates. Seeing Qi Heng walk over, they hurriedly stopped him.
"Young Master, may I know why you've come here?"
Qi Heng was dressed in an exquisite black gold robe. His sleeves fluttered in the wind, and his aura was extraordinary. He didn't look like someone from an ordinary tribe. The soldiers guarding the gates didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly asked.
"Tell Ji Lie that an old friend from Eastcloud Mountain has come to visit!"
Qi Heng flicked his sleeves and stood with his hands behind his back, looking very aloof. With this attitude, the soldiers didn't dare to be negligent.
"Young master, please wait a moment. I'll immediately go inform Second Master to welcome you."
A soldier who seemed to be the leader bowed, then turned and ran through the gates to report to Ji Lie.
"An old friend from Eastcloud Mountain?"
Hearing the report, Ji Lie was shocked. He thought of the terrifying youth who had destroyed Ironwood Zhan with a wave of his hand and destroyed three thousand soldiers with one blow.
"Could it be him? Why did he come to my Ji Mansion? "
He was somewhat puzzled, but Ji Lie still remembered Qi Heng's words, "I have some ties with your Ji clan as well."
"Since there's a connection, I can't neglect it."
Zhang Xuan's strength was frightening, and he also had a deep connection with him. He really couldn't afford to offend him. Ji Lie hurriedly got up and rushed to the entrance.
"It really is him."
Seeing Qi Heng standing outside the door with his hands behind his back, Ji Lie felt as if he was looking at a towering mountain. The aura he faintly exuded was so majestic that it made one's heart palpitate.
"So it's you, sir. Please forgive Ji Lie for not going out to meet you! "
Sensing Qi Heng's aura, Ji Lie became even more cautious and bowed to Qi Heng. "Sir, please come inside."
After welcoming Qi Heng into the inner city of the Ji clan, Lie asked Qi Heng, "Sir, you have come to my humble estate. Might I ask if there is anything I can help you with?"
"This is my first time here, so I'm not too familiar with the situation here. I heard that the Ji clan has countless books, so I came to borrow a few. "
Qi Heng turned his head and glanced at Lie, then laughed. "Right, I don't know much about the characters here. If someone who can read could give me a few pointers, that would be even better."
"Uh …"
Hearing these words, Lie was speechless. If you can't read, why are you reading?
However, he could only mutter these words in his heart. He didn't dare to say it out loud.
"It's just a small matter. I'll naturally help."
As Lie saw it, Qi Heng's bearing was dignified and his manner of speaking was extraordinary. He definitely wasn't a country bumpkin from an ordinary small tribe. His background was extraordinary, but he couldn't read … unless he came from overseas.
The Grand Xia Dynasty had unified the world, and the four seas submitted to it. However, there were still some places in the overseas islands that didn't use the Grand Xia language.
As he had some guesses about Qi Heng's background, Lie was once again puzzled. Since he came from overseas, why did he have ties with the Ji clan?
He couldn't understand, but it wasn't good to ask directly. Lie could only bring Qi Heng to the library and arrange for several literate maids to help Qi Heng read.
"Reading at night with a beautiful woman. This fellow, Lie, has arranged things quite well. "
The four maids poured tea, lit candles, and cut candles. They served him very well. Qi Heng was very satisfied with this.
If an old man were to come and teach him how to read, that would be too depressing.
Learning how to read and understand the meaning of each word, given the level of Qi Heng's soul, he was able to solve the problem of 'reading' in just four hours.
"Thank you for your trouble!"
Now that the problem of reading had been solved, Qi Heng ignored the resentment in the maids' eyes and waved his hand, sending them away.
He picked up the various books in the Ji clan's library, opened his soul, and read ten lines at a glance. After spending a night, he finished reading all of the books in the Ji clan's library.
"The Grand Xia Dynasty, Antan Commandery, City of Ten Thousand Swords, Ji clan of the West Prefecture? Fine, I definitely don't know about this place. "
In the Primordial Era, the Genesis Continent had shattered and transformed into the Primordial Void into an endless world. This Grand Xia Dynasty was most likely one of the endless worlds.
"Sorry for the disturbance."
Early the next morning, Qi Heng bid farewell to Lie.
"Don't mention it, don't mention it! Young master, you are too courteous. "
Seeing that this terrifying figure of unknown origin was about to leave, Lie let out a sigh of relief. This sort of person wasn't to be trifled with. Sending him off with a bit of reading was naturally for the best.
After bidding farewell, Qi Heng quickly left the inner city of the Ji clan.
"Eh?"
After leaving the inner city of the Ji clan, he was hurrying back to the 'Blackmountain Workshop' when suddenly, a cloud floated past him.
Raising his head to look at the cloud, Qi Heng frowned. "A Xiantian Diremonster? It came to the Ji clan's West Prefecture? From the looks of it, its target is the Ji clan? "
A peak Xiantian Diremonster wanted to attack the Ji clan's West Prefecture? The Ji clan's West Prefecture had quite a few Xiantian experts. For it to come to their doorstep like this, was it to send itself to death?
"Roar …"
Within a stone mountain within the inner city of the Ji clan, within a black iron castle, the furious roar of a dying monstrous beast suddenly rang out.
"Eh? This sound … that red snake? "
Hearing this furious roar, Qi Heng discovered that this sound was exactly the same as that of the giant red snake which he had slapped away.
"Roar …"
From within the cloud floated past, a wild, furious roar could be heard.
"Rumble!" An enormous sound.
An enormous black serpent, more than three hundred meters long, swooped down from the clouds. The sound of it piercing through the air rang out in waves.
This enormous serpent had a pair of enormous wings, and its entire body was covered with pitch-black scales. On its back, there was a row of enormous bone spikes. It looked ferocious, terrifying, and filled the heavens with its baleful aura.
"Child! My child! Human, pay with your life for my child! "
The enormous serpent roared wildly, and then, with the momentum of its descent, its enormous serpent tail viciously smashed down towards the black castle atop the stone mountain.
"Rumble!"
Shattered rocks flew everywhere, and dust flew everywhere.
The black stone castle was suddenly smashed to pieces.
"Ah! Ning! "
"You vile creature, you are seeking death!"
At this moment, one furious roar after another rang out within the inner city of the Ji clan.
