With just a glance, Zhang Lisheng could tell that the Witchcraft's Gate of Sacrifice's cultivation method was completely different from the Gate of Death. Initially, both of them were methods to condense the soul and strengthen the consciousness. Perhaps, this was so that one would not be assimilated by the ferocious nature of the beast and become lost when devouring the beast's soul.
After attaining the Rank-6 Wizard, the Gate of Sacrifice's wizards would have to choose an ancestral wizard or ancient god to worship. After communicating with their powerful spiritual power, they would be able to cast all kinds of unpredictable omniscient powers of the ancestral or god that they worshipped.
One could say that if the Witchcraft's Gate of Death pursued the surging power in the flesh and blood, then the Gate of Sacrifice pursued the mighty power in the soul.
When Zhang Lisheng recalled that the faith stone was also condensed from the illusory spiritual power and should have many similarities with the power that the Gate of Sacrifice pursued, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Now that he had gotten what he wanted, he no longer thought about it and placed the faceless statue on the wooden bed. In the end, he picked up the curved tree ring connected to the tree crown's roots.
To the young man, the secret cultivation method of the Witchcraft's Gate of Life was just an icing on the cake to complete his scam. For this reason, he did not think much about it this time and directly used his wizard power to activate the wooden ring, transforming it into a green sapling in his palm, obtaining 11 cultivation methods that could plunder the vitality of all living things to train and feed back to his comrades.
At this moment, the three secret cultivation methods of the Gate of Death, Sacrifice, and Life appeared vividly and automatically in Zhang Lisheng's mind. After that, he did not even look at the contract given by Su Deli and directly signed his name on it. Then, he presented the contract together with the skull, the statue, and the wooden ring with both hands. "Deacon Su, I've signed the contract. Our deal is completed now."
"Disciple Zhang, you signed the contract without checking whether the cultivation method recorded in the copy is complete or not? Aren't you afraid of suffering a loss?" Su Deli smiled mockingly and said slowly, "I advise you to be more open-minded in the future and don't measure the heart of a gentleman with your own mean measure.
Min Lan, let's go. "After taking the contract and the three true handed down items, he strode away.
"No matter how perfect the copy is, it'll never be as profound as the true handed down. Quickly memorize it carefully and don't be greedy.
This is your credit card. You can always use your credit card when you need money in the Mountain Gate. Take care of yourself. "Min Lan whispered to Zhang Lisheng and turned to leave.
"She can actually forget the secret cultivation method that she has memorized in her mind …" The young man was stunned. Looking at the disappearing back of the girl, he muttered in confusion. Concentrating on recalling, he felt that although he could still remember the sections of the cultivation method in his mind clearly, the impression was a little vague.
Zhang Lisheng, who was shocked, immediately jumped onto the wooden boat according to Min Lan's reminder and sat down with his legs crossed. He chanted the incantation in a 'pst shh …' manner to get rid of the unnecessary emotions and settled his mind completely. Closing his eyes, he tried his best to recall the cultivation method in his mind over and over again.
As time passed by, when the young man finally felt that he had firmly engraved all the true secret methods in his heart, he opened his eyes with a dry mouth and found that it was already dark outside the window.
Zhang Lisheng did not believe that the seclusion place of the Gate of Witchcraft that was completely suppressed by the Chinese government would be a complete foreign world. Muttering to himself, "A small space gap can actually imitate the sunrise and sunset …" Then, he jumped off the wooden bed.
When he was about to go out, he inadvertently glanced at the three copies that he had never seen before. Casually flipping through them, Zhang Lisheng realized that they were the rare copies of the Witchcraft Bone Scripture and other cultivation methods as he had expected. Casually, like an ancient person, he stuffed them into his arms and strolled out of the side room.
There were three bright moons and six shining stars shining in the sky of the Mountain Gate. The light that they emitted was not dazzling, but it was not dim either.
When the young man walked to the wooden door of the courtyard and was about to open it, he suddenly saw the courtyard door opening by itself. Wei Qing and a few Gate of Witchcraft's disciples, who were either wearing green or gray robes, walked in drunk.
Upon seeing Zhang Lisheng, Wei Qing shouted in surprise, "Junior Brother Zhang, you're finally awake! Today is the … the … Let me count … the twelfth day! After Big Boss Su left, you've been cultivating for more than ten days already! I was so worried!"
"Twelve days?" Zhang Lisheng, who thought that only half a day had passed, widened his eyes and rubbed his stomach. Only then did he realize that he was already famished.
At this time, a green-robed disciple in his thirties, who was not tall but very stocky and had thick eyebrows and big eyes, put his arm around Wei Qing's shoulder and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Wei, you're wrong.
Junior Brother Zhang must have obtained a superior witchcraft cultivation method from Big Boss Su for you to be able to meditate for so long. Once you master it, your strength will definitely increase greatly. This is a great thing, so what's there to worry about? "
"That's right! Junior Brother Chu, you're the one who understands!" Wei Qing laughed out loud and pointed at the stocky green-robed disciple before saying to Zhang Lisheng, "Junior Brother Zhang, let me introduce to you. This is your Senior Brother Chu Xiang.
Even though I'm forced to take charge of some things in our courtyard, in reality, my future is far worse than your Senior Brother Chu … "
"Nice to meet you, Senior Brother Chu." Even though Zhang Lisheng was in a hurry to go to the Mountain City's library to supplement his witchcraft cultivation knowledge, it was also because of this that he, who was bound to continue to stay in the Mountain Gate for a period of time, could only feign civility and greet him with cupped hands.
"Junior Brother Zhang, don't listen to Senior Brother Wei's nonsense. In terms of future, you're the one who has a bright future. I'm afraid you'll have to wear a green robe like us after going to the Oasis World this time." Chu Xiang waved his hand and said with a smile.
Upon hearing the words' Oasis World ', Zhang Lisheng's heart gave a jolt as his mind whirled. "Senior Brother Chu, I haven't gone out for more than ten days so I wonder how's the Oasis World? Has there been any change in the departure time?"
"Junior Brother Zhang, I'm not you, so how would I know the specific time to go to the Oasis World? However, it looks like the Gate is doing its best to show off in front of the government this time. Even a casual person like me has summoned an expedition team.
Looks like the future of the Gate of Witchcraft will depend on this trip, "Chu Xiang said with a wry smile.
"Oh …" Zhang Lisheng nodded thoughtfully and casually listened to Wei Qing introducing the remaining green-robed disciple, Song Anxing, and five to six black-robed disciples to him one by one. Suddenly, he asked, "Senior Brother Wei, do you know where the library in the Mountain Gate is?"
"I know, I know. The library is easy to find. Just go out and look for a spacious street and look at the tallest wooden building in the city." Wei Qing was stunned for a moment before replying with a smile. "It's open 24 hours a day. Let me tell you the rules.
The books on the first to third floor are free to the official disciples of the Gate of Witchcraft like us, but we'll have to pay if we go up to the fourth floor and above. The fourth floor costs one Little Red Man, the fifth floor costs two, and the sixth floor costs five. It's so expensive that it's terrifying … "
"What? I can go to the library in the Gate to read books just by spending money?" Dumbfounded, Zhang Lisheng took out the wooden token given by Su Deli from his pocket and interrupted Wei Qing's words. "Then what's the use of this token?"
"Black wooden token? Tsk tsk, this is a good thing. If you hand it in for three months, you'll be able to read all the books on the nine floors of the library. It's not easy to buy it even if you have the money," Wei Qing said enviously.
"Oh, I see." Zhang Lisheng nodded and cupped his hands together. "Senior Brothers, I'm so hungry that my stomach is growling, so I'll stop chatting. I'll see you later."
"Go ahead then, Junior Brother Zhang. You can't make an empty stomach, you'll be starving if you don't eat." Wei Qing smiled and made way for Zhang Lisheng. Watching Zhang Lisheng walk out of the courtyard, he said to Chu Xiang and Song Anxing, "Junior Brother Chu, Junior Brother Song, what do you think? I was right, wasn't I? Junior Brother Zhang is a modest and straightforward person. He's easy to get along with."
Chu Xiang also smiled. "It's his character to be modest and straightforward.
To be able to cultivate without eating or drinking for 12 days and nights, he must at least be a Rank-7 Wizard or above. The wizard gu that he transformed can't be weak either. Even though this Junior Brother Zhang has just entered the Gate, he's already extraordinary among the black-robed disciples. "
"Of course, he's extraordinary for being able to gain Big Boss Su's favor. However, there are many examples of 'a fly at the end of its life trying to climb a thousand miles' among ordinary people. There are also many people who end up being mediocre even among the extraordinary people. For this reason, fate, fate! A person's life ultimately depends on 'luck' …" Song Anxing, on the other hand, had a strange faint smile on his face as he said loudly in a somewhat crazy manner.
When Wei Qing and Chu Xiang heard this, their hearts trembled with deep emotions. After a moment of silence, they said at the same time, "Junior Brother Song, you're drunk! You're drunk! Go and rest now …" Then, they supported Song Anxing to walk towards the main room.
At the same time, Zhang Lisheng, who had already seen the location of a tall building on a spacious street in the mountain city, began to stroll towards the library.
It seemed like the Witchcraft's Mountain Gate did not have electricity and could only use motors to generate electricity. For this reason, the street lamps that illuminated the street were round barrels that were the size of an adult and were made of transparent tempered glass with oil burning inside.
Next to the glass barrels were shops that looked like restaurants. Occasionally, there would be some shops that sold sundries, but there were very few of them.
Half of the pedestrians on the road were Gate of Witchcraft's disciples who were wearing a variety of pure colored robes and long skirts while the other half were temporary people who were wearing coarse and variegated trousers. Among the disciples, there were very few who were wearing silver, and none of them were wearing gold.
"It's not a noble community if we're not halfway up the mountain …" Zhang Lisheng did not stop his footsteps as he looked around. Looking at the various people on the street, he said with a curl of his lips.
When he passed by a shop that was emitting the aroma of fried fish, he turned into it and bought a lot of fried fish and half a dozen cola before walking out. He had already understood that the ingredients in the Mountain Gate might be self-produced, so the food was cheap. However, industrial products had to be transported from the secular world, so the price was high and scarce.
Just like this, he walked while eating and drinking. When he arrived at the library, Zhang Lisheng had just finished the food and drink in his hand. Raising his head to look at the huge nine-story wooden building, he walked into the building along with the sparse flow of people.
The appearance of the building was not much different from the old libraries in the western world in the last two centuries. The ceiling was filled with oil lamps, causing a layer of black oil to appear on the beams.
The floor was covered with flat wooden boards.
In the distance, there were rows of wooden shelves with books placed on them.
In front of the wooden shelves, there were long wooden tables and chairs.
The reading environment here could be said to be bad, but Zhang Lisheng's heart was burning. He took out the wooden sign and hurriedly walked to the counter.
