"Impressive." Ye Futian admired Third Senior Brother. He caught demon kings for food and pulled out dragon tendons to make guqin strings.
As for the invitation from the College, he didn't have time.
"The Cottage is so busy. We don't have time for these boring trials. Junior, what do you think?" Third Senior Brother smiled at Ye Futian.
"Yes, you're right." Ye Futian nodded. In the future, whatever Third Senior Brother said would be right.
As for whether the Cottage was busy or not, it didn't matter. Outsiders wouldn't know anyway.
"Fourth Brother," Gu Dongliu called.
"Yes," Xue Ye answered while copying.
"Don't copy for now," Gu Dongliu said. "Take Junior to the Book Cave. Stay here for the rest of your life."
"Okay." Xue Ye felt like he was pardoned. He put down his pen and came to Ye Futian's side. "Junior, follow me."
"Okay." Ye Futian nodded. What kind of place was the Book Cave?
Xue Ye brought Ye Futian to another cave in the Cottage. They walked in. The cave was very deep. As they walked forward, the path suddenly opened up. There seemed to be extremely dazzling light.
A golden path appeared on the ground. Countless runes danced on it.
"Follow my steps carefully. Don't go wrong," Xue Ye reminded. Xue Ye reminded Ye Futian. There seemed to be a matrix under his feet. Every time he took a step, Ye Futian followed his steps carefully.
After walking down this path, they came to a huge cave. Incomparably dazzling light shone on them. Ye Futian raised his head and looked in front of him. He was deeply shocked.
This was like the belly of a mountain. The cave was a hundred meters tall and the mountain wall was chiseled into the shape of bookshelves. Countless books were placed against the wall.
When Ye Futian had cultivated in Donghai Academy, he'd entered the library. However, it couldn't be compared to the one before him.
The Book Cave was like a sea of books.
It was hard to imagine how the Cottage had collected so many books.
"Junior, there are all kinds of books here. The teachers don't teach you. You have to learn by yourself," Xue Ye said.
"There are so many books. How am I supposed to finish them?" Ye Futian mumbled.
Hearing this, Xue Ye almost cried. He looked at the countless books in the cave and sighed. "So many books, it'll take hundreds of years to copy!"
"…" Ye Futian was stunned. He looked at Xue Ye and said, "Fourth Brother, are you copying the books here?"
"Let's not talk about sad things." Xue Ye sighed.
"Second Sister seems to be very dignified. Her plane must be very high, right?" Ye Futian was a little curious. One look from Second Sister and the Fourth and Fifth Brothers made them behave.
"I don't know if Second Senior Sister's plane is high or not, but I know that Third Senior Brother's plane is very high. If you dare say no to Second Senior Sister …" Xue Ye said slowly. He looked at Ye Futian as if asking if he understood.
Ye Futian nodded. He understood.
The third brother was someone who could make the nobles of the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan leave with their tails between their legs. Ye Futian could only pity the fourth brother.
"What about you, senior brother? What plane are you at?" Ye Futian asked.
"My plane is very low. I'm just a mid-level noble," Xue Ye said, feeling a little inferior.
"I …" Ye Futian wanted to say something but stopped. Never mind, he wouldn't say it.
He couldn't imagine a noble copying books obediently and acting like a yes-man in front of Second Sister. He didn't feel good at all.
"Fifth Senior Brother, are you also a noble?" Ye Futian asked weakly.
"Of course." Xue Ye nodded matter-of-factly. Ye Futian felt even worse. Thinking of how Fifth Senior Brother cooked, was he really a noble?
"Don't be discouraged. Becoming a noble is only a matter of time. Walk around here. I'll leave first." Xue Ye patted Ye Futian comfortingly and then walked out.
"Fourth Senior Brother, you too. Persevere. You'll finish copying books sooner or later," Ye Futian called out to Xue Ye. Ye Futian shouted at Xue Ye's back. Xue Ye staggered, almost falling over.
"Little Junior is right." Xue Ye didn't turn around. He seemed to say this through gritted teeth. He didn't want to argue with a kid.
After Xue Ye left, Ye Futian looked at the Book Mountain and mumbled, "How many years will it take to finish this?"
Not to mention transcribing.
Ye Futian looked at the sea of books. The countless books seemed to have been categorized and were very detailed. There were all kinds of professions.
He saw a place with the word "guqin" carved. He walked over first and started reading from the bottom.
First, it was the basics of guqin, every note, every tone. Then, it was a simple song, from simple to complex. Ye Futian watched as he danced. Towards the end, he saw many powerful musical sorcery.
He read for a long time.
Night fell outside and a beautiful figure came to the Book Cave. It was Beitang Xing 'er.
"Senior Sister Xing 'er," Ye Futian called with a smile as he put down the book.
"Your guqin is done and dinner. Second Senior Sister asked me to bring it," Beitang Xing 'er said, smiling.
"Thank you, Senior Sister Xing 'er." Ye Futian felt warm inside. His two senior sisters were so nice to him. He thought, Senior Sister is such a kind person. Why are my senior brothers so scared? There must be some misunderstanding.
"It's okay. I'll read for a while anyway," Beitang Xing 'er said gently. Beitang Xing 'er smiled gently. Ye Futian nodded and started wolfing down the food. This was demon king meat and even dragon meat.
"Eat slowly. Drink some soup. It's made from a python king." Beitang Xing 'er looked at Ye Futian and smiled.
"Okay," Ye Futian said as he ate. "Senior Sister Xing 'er, you're not only beautiful but also beautiful."
"You're so talkative." Beitang Xing 'er blushed. After all, she was younger than Ye Futian. How could she resist his flirting?
"I'm serious. I don't know who will be lucky enough to marry you in the future. Even I'm jealous," Ye Futian said to himself. Beitang Xing 'er blushed even more and said, "I'm going to ignore you."
With that, she ran to the other side to read.
Ye Futian smiled and quickly finished the meal. He did not waste any of it. Then, he continued to read.
He read for many days and didn't leave the cave. Every day, Beitang Xing 'er would deliver his food on time. Ye Futian was a bit embarrassed but she didn't seem to mind at all. Every time she came, she would smile innocently.
Before he knew it, several months had passed. Ye Futian had spent several months in the Book Cave.
On this day, Ye Futian was cultivating before the cliff in the Cottage. His body seemed to have endless power. These days, he had been eating dragon meat and drinking python king soup every day. He didn't know how much power he had accumulated in his body and wanted to release it.
When he cultivated the body-enhancing spell that Emperor Ye Qing had taught him, his body was like a dragon. His blood surged and roared. Now, he was practicing boxing. Every punch contained a dragon's roar. His aura was monstrous and terrifying power surged out.
After a long while, his body rumbled. Endless power broke out of his body and turned into a terrifying martial art conception.
He had broken through to the Fourth-level Dharma Plane.
Ye Futian practiced the boxing technique again and then walked to the cliff. There was a guqin there. He sat cross-legged facing the cliff. Then, melodious music spread out.
The dancing notes in the music were quiet and peaceful. It seemed to blend with nature, turning into a gentle breeze that brushed past his clothes and the grass. Then, it turned into sunlight that sprinkled down and warmed the earth.
He didn't play any of the pieces he'd learned. Instead, he played as he pleased. The best music was the combination of music and artistic conception.
Ye Futian's Spiritual Energy danced with the music and spread out. It went further and further. He felt the breeze, the sunlight, and the quiet warmth.
Unknowingly, his Spiritual Energy broke through the limit and also broke through to the next level.
In reality, if Ye Futian hadn't been reading in the Book Cave, he would have broken through a long time ago. Now, it was just a matter of time.
The music gradually stopped and a laugh sounded. "I didn't expect little brother to have such high attainments in the Way of the Guqin."
Ye Futian looked up and saw two fairy-like figures standing there.
"Second Senior Sister, Senior Sister Xing 'er, why are you here?" Ye Futian stood up.
"I was attracted by your music. It's just simple music but it's so close to the artistic conception. The music and artistic conception are one. It seems that the Cottage is going to have a Guqin Grandmaster." Zhuge Hui smiled at Ye Futian.
"Senior Sister, you flatter me." Ye Futian smiled shyly.
"Let's go," Zhuge Hui said. Ye Futian hugged the guqin and left.
"How's Yu Sheng's cultivation?" Ye Futian asked.
"Don't worry. Yu Sheng is very talented. Your third senior brother is guiding him," Zhuge Hui said.
"Yes." Ye Futian nodded. Yu Sheng's talent was obvious.
When he returned to his second senior sister's residence, Yi Xiaoshi said, "Second Senior Sister, the Qin Dynasty is here to visit. Do you want to see them?"
"The Qin Dynasty?" Zhuge Hui raised an eyebrow. "Did they say what's going on?"
"Yes." Yi Xiaoshi nodded. "They said that the king of Qin is going to crown the crown prince and invited all forces to attend. Though they invited the College, they purposely came to visit the Cottage. They said that they hope the Cottage can also go."
A strange look flashed in Zhuge Hui's eyes. The Qin Dynasty was one of the three strongest forces in the Eastern Barren Territory. Moreover, it was a dynasty and had the strongest cohesiveness. Though the College was powerful, it was different from a dynasty.
The crown prince would decide the future of the Eastern Barren Territory. It was indeed a very important event.
After inviting the College, they purposely invited the Cottage to express their respect for the Cottage.
"Who wants to go?" Zhuge Hui looked at them.
"Me." The fourth senior brother raised his hand.
"Senior Sister, I'll go." The fifth senior brother didn't want to be outdone.
"I want to go too," Yi Xiaoshi said weakly.
Ye Futian's expression was strange. Zhuge Hui chuckled. "What? You want to run away from me?"
"Senior Sister, that's not what we mean," Xue Ye said shamelessly. "It's just that since the Qin Dynasty invited the Cottage, you and the third senior brother definitely won't go. In order to not embarrass the Cottage, I have to go."
"You're right." Zhuge Hui smiled and nodded. "Luo Fan, bring the little brother."
Luo Fan was stunned. Then he said happily, "Thank you, Senior Sister."
