Yue Ru curtsied and excused herself.
Chu Li picked up the silk books and flipped through them thoughtfully.
These books were introductory formations. They were much simpler and more obvious than the ones he had read before. If he had read these books back then, it would not have been so difficult to learn the basics and he would have been able to understand them at once.
The Maha-Vairocana's Immobility Scripture had indeed increased his intelligence. Now, he could read these books with ease and could see through them at a glance. He was tempted to delve deeper.
To avoid shocking the world, he could only suppress this desire and cultivate the Great Light Scripture first.
As he progressed in the Great Light Scripture, his Divine Light Body became stronger.
The Divine Light Body was indeed mysterious and could not be compared to ordinary body-tempering techniques. The stronger the Divine Light Body, the faster his speed, his strength, his reflexes, and his resistance to damage would be.
The next morning, Yue Ru opened the door and entered with a lunchbox. When she opened it, there were a few exquisite dishes inside.
Chu Li got off the bed and sat down at the table. "Miss Yue Ru, you just have to send me food every three days."
"Is Young Master Zhao cultivating some secret skill? How can you not be hungry?"
"Once I start cultivating, I usually meditate for three days," Chu Li replied.
"Three days …" Yue Ru's eyes flashed and she smiled. "Alright, I'll send you food every three days so that I won't disturb your cultivation, Young Master Zhao."
She was secretly surprised that Zhao Dahe was a genius. She had never heard of anyone who could cultivate for three days in one go. He usually cultivated two or three times a day and did not cultivate for too long.
Chu Li smiled and said, "These introductory formations books are good. I've finished reading them."
Yue Ru quickly gathered her thoughts and smiled. "Can you understand them?"
"Yes, I can." Chu Li nodded. "They're quite fun. Are there any more difficult ones?"
"You understand them?!" Yue Ru stared at him.
Chu Li nodded. "Yes, they're not difficult, right?"
"… Alright, these books are introductory. They're not difficult at all." Yue Ru took a deep breath and smiled sweetly. "I'll bring a few more books later. They'll be more difficult."
She secretly decided that she would bring a few difficult books over to properly deal a blow to his arrogance. This was simply too infuriating.
Chu Li said, "Thank you very much."
"I'll go get it now." Yue Ru placed the dishes on the table and left gracefully.
After a while, she returned and took out three thick silk books from her sleeve. She handed them to Chu Li. "This should be enough for you, Master Zhao."
"Hehe …" Chu Li was overjoyed at the sight of his prey and could not help but smile as he said excitedly, "Thank you, Miss Yue Ru!"
When Yue Ru saw that he could not wait to flip through the dishes, she forced herself not to look at them. Instead, she lowered her head and wolfed down the food like a hungry wolf. In a short while, she had finished all the dishes on the table.
Yue Ru tactfully kept quiet. She cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, picked up the lunchbox and left.
Chu Li hurriedly opened the silk booklet and began to flip through it. From the low-level Three Sun Formation to the high-level Small Meru Formation, all of them were exquisite beyond compare.
However, there was no Sumeru Formation like Yue Ru had mentioned.
Chu Li was already very satisfied. He had never thought that he would be able to obtain these formation books. Formation books were very rare in the Ji Dynasty.
He flipped through them page by page and imprinted all the formations in these three silk books into his mind. He wanted to slowly study them after he was done. It would take him a while to study them.
The wonders of formations were like the wonders of mathematics. They were very addictive and he loved studying them.
However, he used his rationality to pull himself back from studying them. He needed to focus on his cultivation. His top priority was still to cultivate.

A week later, at night, the Phoenix Goddess Brothel was unusually lively when the lanterns were lit. The sound of stringed instruments and singing lingered in the air.
A handsome middle-aged man stepped into the Phoenix Goddess Brothel.
He had a square face and big ears. His gaze was sharp and he had a dignified aura. It was obvious that he was someone who had been in a high position for a long time. He immediately asked to see Miss Yue Ru.
The servant had a good eye and did not dare to neglect him. He brought him to a room on the second floor.
Miss Yue Ru gracefully entered the room. When she saw the man, her expression changed slightly. Then, she smiled sweetly. "Greetings, sir. Is this your first time at the Phoenix Goddess Brothel?"
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "My surname is Tan. My name is Tan Jin. I'm an elder of the White Tiger Sect."
"Oh, it's Elder Tan. My apologies." Yue Ru curtsied.
Tan Jin asked, "You must be a disciple of the Tian Luo Sect, right?"
Yue Ru nodded and said, "To tell you the truth, I'm indeed a disciple of the Tian Luo Sect. What can I do for you, Elder Tan?"
"Who's your master?"
"My master is Bai Feng."
Tan Jin frowned. He was afraid of this name. He said slowly, "I haven't seen Elder Bai for a few years. How has she been?"
"My master is healthy and healthy, just like before," Yue Ru replied.
Tan Jin said, "Since you're one of us, I won't beat around the bush. Zhao Dahe has been to the Phoenix Goddess Brothel, right?"
"Yes." Yue Ru nodded. "I personally received him."
"He disappeared ever since he entered the Phoenix Goddess Brothel." Tan Jin stared at her. His eyes were bright as if he could see through her.
Yue Ru was shocked. "Disappeared? Elder Tan, do you think that we've killed him? "
Tan Jin said, "If your sect kills Zhao Dahe, the White Tiger Sect will reward you handsomely."
"We want to kill him too, but unfortunately, we don't have the ability to do so." Yue Ru shook her head and sighed. "He's indeed a powerful person. We used the Musical Assassination Technique, but he's surprisingly strong. He wasn't hurt by the Musical Assassination Technique."
"Hmph!" Tan Jin sneered. "He's indeed difficult to deal with!"
Yue Ru said, "He didn't turn on us. He just left and I don't know where he went. Did he escape?"
Tan Jin shook his head. "He's in Gale City."
"If I were him, I would've escaped and returned to the Great Light Peak." Yue Ru frowned. "Why are you still staying here?"
"He won't escape if he wants to revive the Radiance Clan," Tan Jin said. "He's probably hiding somewhere."
Yue Ru shook her head. "The White Tiger Sect has many spies. As long as he hasn't left the city, we'll definitely be able to find him. I didn't expect him to be such a powerful person. I thought he was just a madman!"
"We'll find him sooner or later!" Tan Jin said. "However, I'm afraid that someone might be hiding him on purpose."
As he spoke, he stared daggers at Yue Ru.
Yue Ru said, "Who in Gale City would be so bold as to hide someone that the White Tiger Sect wants to kill?"
"If I find out who's protecting him, I won't show any mercy. I'll destroy their entire clan!" Tan Jin said coldly.
His gaze swept across Yue Ru's face.
Yue Ru pretended to be unaware and chuckled. "I'd also like to know who would be so bold."
"Hmph, there's always someone who's not afraid of death." Tan Jin sneered.
Yue Ru nodded.
"If that's the case, very well." Tan Jin stood up and straightened his robes. "Let me know if there's any news."
"Alright." Yue Ru nodded.
