Danyang Peak.
Scripture Repository.
After completing the seven-day lecture task, Liang Sheng chose a time to go to the Danyang Peak Scripture Library to search for ancient techniques.
However, this time, he felt that the atmosphere of Danyang Peak was somewhat different, and the number of pill refining tasks issued by the Internal Affairs Office and Miscellaneous Affairs Hall had obviously increased a lot.
It seems that the changes in the Spiritual Tidal and the sudden situation in the Back Mountain Hunting Grounds had made the upper echelons of the Dan Ding Sect a little nervous, and they were taking precautions now.
Although the atmosphere was tense, it was clear that from top to bottom, the sect handled matters with ease and without too much panic.
Perhaps as an outer sect alchemist had previously said, changes in the Spiritual Tide were a common occurrence, and not every Spiritual Tide would trigger a beast tide.
At this moment, Liang Sheng didn’t find anything unusual, so he went straight into the Scripture Repository. However, he didn’t immediately start looking for techniques as before, but went to the counter first.
“Senior Brother, I have a question. Do you know where on the first floor there is a bookshelf that talks about the history of the Cultivation World?
Previously, my junior brother heard someone telling the story of ancient cultivation, and since 1 know very little about this area and find it interesting, I want to see if there are any jade slips or books in the library related to this.”
The Foundation Establishment Disciple behind the counter raised his head when he heard this and looked at Liang Sheng. Although it was very rare for anyone to ask this kind of question, it was not an unheard-of situation.
Although cultivators focused on their own cultivation, not many people were interested in these basic facts. However, it was a normal reaction to come and take a look at these ancient records when they became curious, just like this junior brother here.
The disciple pointed to a bookshelf in the corner, and Liang Sheng hurriedly expressed his thanks before heading over.
With an unchanged expression, Liang Sheng picked up a jade slip and discovered that it was a miscellaneous memoir written after the ancient destruction.
He noted the general contents of the jade slip first, then continued to flip through others, finding that most of them were miscellaneous memoirs with similar content.
However, what Liang Sheng really wanted at this moment was not to know what happened in the ancient times, but to find ancient cultivation techniques.
But he didn’t show any urgency, as there was a watchful pair of eyes in the Scripture Repository. If he were to draw their attention, it would be inappropriate.
Fortunately, after flipping through dozens of jade slips, Liang Sheng finally found the ancient cultivation techniques, and a flash of joy crossed his eyes.
The exchange points required for it were the same as those for the other miscellaneous memoirs, only one point was needed, and Liang Sheng couldn’t help but be even more delighted at this bargain price.
With this being the case, he would copy several jade slips later, and no one would be suspicious of him. They would just think that he was genuinely interested in the history of ancient cultivation.
As for ancient techniques, he couldn’t tell which technique was good or bad for now, because the jade slips only showed the name of the technique and did not provide a detailed introduction.
However, this could be understood. In this era, who could still practice these ancient techniques? Since they couldn’t, of course, no one could judge the quality of the techniques.
The idea of Liang Sheng at the moment was simple: since there were only three ancient techniques on the bookshelf, he might as well copy all of them.
By doing so, it might make people think that he was just interested in the ancient cultivation and not raise any doubts.
When Liang Sheng went to the counter and indicated that he wanted to copy the contents of a dozen or so jade slips, the other party saw that they were all about ancient times and did not look carefully. He just collected the corresponding points according to the number of slips. He didn’t even know that the ancient techniques were hidden among them.
Seeing this, Liang Sheng naturally didn’t say anything. After copying the contents of these jade slips to his prepared blank jade slips, he got up and left.
However, when he left, the disciple looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at a fool. The ancient cultivation times had been so many years ago that they had already become a legend.
So, it would have been enough to take just one jade slip to see the story of ancient cultivation. Why take so many jade slips? He really was a big spender.
He was still young and didn’t know that points would become increasingly scarce in the future.
However, every once in a while, someone would have wild thoughts and want to explore ancient cultivation techniques, thinking that they were different and might obtain opportunities.
While it was true that the Three Sects and Six Orders were located in the Desolate Regions, and that the area where they were now was indeed once used by powerful cultivators to experiment with how to open a new era of cultivation, the idea of obtaining ancient opportunities by exploring old stories was simply a joke.
After all, there were many smart cultivators. In the many years before, even though it was the beginning of a new era of cultivation, no one had discovered any real opportunities.
To think of obtaining opportunities so easily was a delusion.
In fact, when Liang Sheng had first entered, the hidden guardian in the Scripture Repository had taken a glance at him. When he saw Liang Sheng approaching the ancient bookshelf, he didn’t pay much attention.
Regardless of Liang Sheng’s purpose, these jade slips, whether they were true or false records of ancient cultivation, did not hold any value.
After leaving the Scripture Repository, Liang Sheng didn’t leave Danyang Peak right away. Instead, he went to the Internal Affairs Office and Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to take a look.
Unfortunately, after looking around, he didn’t find anything valuable, so he decided not to waste his points and returned directly to the Welcoming Guest Peak.
This time, not many people paid attention to Liang Sheng’s departure. As long as he returned, it didn’t really matter. It wasn’t lecture time, so the Outer Sect Alchemists wouldn’t be strict about how Liang Sheng spent his time..
