Chu Li shook his head.
Without the Life and Death Scripture, the growth of the Inferno Fruit would be very slow. The longevity of plants in the coldest place would definitely be slow, but it couldn't be delayed for too long.
Even if the Heavenly Spirit Scripture improved and the Flame Fruit was fully ripe or even eaten by the Black Dragon, where would he find another Flame Flower?
He did not know how many more Flame Flowers there were. Such a rare item was in line with the law of heaven and earth.
"I'm going to the Sutra Library to read," Jingxue said.
Chu Li nodded. "I'm going to the Sutra Library too."
"Reading and cultivating?" Jingxue asked.
Chu Li said, "What I'm lacking now is comprehension. My cultivation level is sufficient."
"That's true." Jingxue nodded. The two fluttered to the Sutra Library and separated.
Jingxue went straight to the twelfth floor while Chu Li stood motionless on the first floor. He closed his eyes and began to derive again.
Stargazing Technique and Heaven's Eye worked together. All of his energy was focused on his spirit and became one with heaven and earth. He faintly sensed that spiritual light.
The passersby looked over.
Chu Li was now a famous person. His merit was increasing rapidly and his cultivation level was advancing so quickly that he broke the records of his predecessors. Everyone knew about him.
Ever since he entered the sect, apart from Jingxue, he had never interacted with other disciples. Yet, he knew what they were thinking. They were unhappy with him and felt that he was too lucky.
Even if they were extremely talented and had peerless cultivation levels, they could not help but be jealous.
Chu Li ignored them and remained motionless as he sensed the spiritual light.
After a while, he fluttered with his eyes still closed. Finally, he floated to the sixteenth floor and squatted in front of a book. He closed his eyes and took out a thin book.
The thin book was at the corner of the lowest floor. Almost no one read it.
When he opened his eyes, the words "Spirit Beast Insight" came into view.
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. He was more confident in his divination.
It was completely different from what he imagined after he opened it.
There was no picture in the Spirit Beast Insight. It did not talk about any kind of Spirit Beast. It only talked about the origin of Spirit Beasts, their cultivation system, their spiritual path, and the differences between them and humans.
To others, it was just a general talk and a lot of nonsense.
However, it was as if he had obtained a priceless treasure, and he eagerly read through it. Not a single word was missed, and it was reflected in the depths of his mind. He was unable to forget it, and he was still continuously integrating it.
Every word was like a bright pearl, shining in his mind. Every word had a great impact on him, as if he had entered another world.
With the Heavenly Spirit Scripture and the Round Mysterious Space Mirror, he could communicate with the spirit beasts and know their thoughts. He always felt that although they were intelligent, their minds were pure and their way of thinking was completely different from that of humans.
Furthermore, he could communicate with spirit beasts telepathically, so he didn't need to know why they were thinking this way. He only needed to know what they were thinking.
No matter how slowly he flipped through the thin booklet, he quickly finished flipping through it.
After closing his eyes for a long time, he slowly opened them and suddenly let out a long howl towards the sky.
The roar was like the roar of a dragon, piercing through heaven and earth.
Everyone in the Sutra Depository felt a chill run down their spines. They could not help but tighten their bodies and circulate their inner energy to protect themselves. They looked left and right but could not find the person who had screamed.
After Chu Li let out a long howl, he immediately came back to his senses. He forcefully held back the second howl, and shut his mouth without moving. Fortunately, there was no one around the bookshelves.
However, in his mind, the Heavenly Spirit Beast leaped into the void and howled towards the sky. One howl after another, the howl became louder and louder. Its snow-white fur swayed as if it was standing in a strong wind.
He could no longer hold it in. He could not help but open his mouth, and the dragon's howl resounded throughout the Sutra Depository.
"Good boy!" A grey-robed elder stood in front of him and sized him up. Seeing that he was still howling with his mouth open, he shook his head and laughed.
Chu Li finally suppressed the Heavenly Spirit Beast and made it shut up.
He awkwardly closed fist saluted at the grey-robed elder and smiled. "Senior …"
"Do you know that the Sutra Depository prohibits noise!" The grey-robed elder's eyebrows and beard were all white. His slender almond-shaped eyes were clear and bright, and he had an intimidating aura.
Chu Li nodded. "I couldn't control it."
"Hmm, looks like you've cultivated a divine technique," the grey-robed elder said. "Alright, you'll be punished to clean the Sutra Depository for ten days."
"Yes," Chu Li readily agreed.
He knew that he could not win against the grey-robed elder. No matter how high his cultivation level was, he could not act recklessly.
The grey-robed elder smiled. "You'll begin tonight!"
Chu Li closed fist saluted.
The grey-robed elder flashed and disappeared without a trace.
Chu Li's face was filled with excitement.
Jing Xue had already floated over and was smiling at him.
Chu Li smiled and nodded.
The smile on Jing Xue's jade-like face became even brighter. It was as beautiful as a blooming flower. The disciples who passed by were a little dazed. Then, they looked at Chu Li with hostility.
If they had the chance, they would definitely teach Chu Li a lesson.
Chu Li floated out of the Sutra Depository. On the way, he circulated the Heavenly Spirit Scripture. The Heavenly Spirit Scripture's aura became fainter as if it had completely disappeared.
The next moment, he appeared on the boundless snowfield.
Strong winds howled and torrential rain fell. It was as if there were flying daggers dancing in the air.
Everything on the snowfield was extinct. In the face of the might of Heaven and Earth, all forces were insignificant. No one dared to fight it head-on. Only the Black Dragon was lying in front of the Flame Fruit.
He appeared in front of the Black Dragon and let out a long howl.
The howl broke through the violent snowflakes and arrived in front of the Black Dragon.
The Black Dragon opened its eyes and looked at him in confusion.
It felt a sense of familiarity that it had never felt before. It wanted to stick out its tongue and lick him. It did not know what to do to please him, so it wanted to offer the Flame Fruit to him.
The horns on its head did not even flicker. It was not hostile at all.
Chu Li went up to it and reached out to touch its body.
Upon closer inspection, it looked like it was made of white jade. A gentle luster flowed through its body. It did not have the coldness of scales. Instead, it was warm and delicate, no different from suet white jade.
When his palm touched its body, their minds instantly became one.
Chu Li immediately understood its thoughts. It also understood Chu Li's thoughts.
Chu Li immediately knew that it could grow claws and become a real dragon after eating the Flame Fruit. The Flame Fruit was very important to it. Becoming a dragon was the most crucial step. It had waited for a thousand years.
Chu Li frowned and pondered.
The Black Dragon was not hostile towards Chu Li. The Holy Spirit Beast in the void of Chu Li's mind affected the Black Dragon. In its eyes, Chu Li was not Chu Li but the Holy Spirit Beast.
This made it feel close and happy. It wanted to let go of the Flame Fruit.
Chu Li thought for a while and said to it in his mind. If he gave the Flame Fruit to it, he would not fight for it anymore. He would look for exotic flowers and fruits elsewhere.
Suddenly, a scene appeared in the Black Dragon's mind. It was another Flame Flower.
However, this Flame Flower had not fully bloomed. It needed a hundred years to bloom and another thousand years to ripen.
Its lifespan was almost up. It could not wait that long.
Chu Li nodded and disappeared in a flash. The Black Dragon disappeared with him.
"Bang!" Chu Li pressed lightly and a deep pit appeared. A half-bloomed Flame Flower appeared in the pit. The blood-red flower had not fully bloomed.
Chu Li smiled.
The Scripture of Life and Death worked. The spiritual energy from the Upper Heaven flowed in and turned into a strong vitality. The Flame Flower bloomed slowly and its fragrance spread.
The Black Dragon stared at the Flame Flower without blinking.
