Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 186 Borrowing Books
"Hmm! That's more like it! Let's get this task done as soon as possible to avoid any unexpected complications!"

Void One transmitted the message again.

Li Yunjing repeatedly assured him, and only then did the other side stop making a sound.

"Deacon Xu has been very kind to me!"

Li Yunjing sighed softly.

Now that he was awake, Li Yunjing tidied himself up and got out of bed.

After opening the door, Li Yunjing went for a walk in the garden and happened to see Yu Yunyi practicing her sword.

"I'll accompany you!"

Seeing Yu Yunyi's graceful figure, Li Yunjing became interested. With a flash of his "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword", he slowly walked to Yu Yunyi's side.

"Alright! Let's go together!"

Yu Yunyi smiled playfully at Li Yunjing, her figure dancing gracefully through the woods.

Watching Yu Yunyi's sword dance, Li Yunjing glanced at it and understood most of it. At least in terms of form, he understood it and quickly joined in.

Yu Yunyi was startled and immediately sensed that Li Yunjing and she were working together perfectly and harmoniously, almost inseparable, as if they were one person.

After completing one sword technique, Yu Yunyi even felt a sense of unfinished business.

Being with Li Yunjing didn't feel awkward at all, like when two people practice swordsmanship together. On the contrary, it felt like the two of them were already familiar with each other and understood each other perfectly.

How do you know this sword technique so well?

After Yu Yunyi sheathed her sword, her bright eyes looked at Li Yunjing with curiosity in them.

"Hehe! Because I feel like I knew you in my past life, that we were kindred spirits, like birds that fly wing to wing, inseparable. In heaven we are those birds that fly wing to wing, and on earth we are those trees with intertwined branches!"

Li Yunjing gently embraced Yu Yunyi and smiled.

"Lovebirds? What kind of bird is that? I've never heard of it before."

Yu Yunyi leaned against Li Yunjing's chest and asked curiously.

"Hehe! Back in the day, there was a bird in my hometown that symbolized unwavering loyalty in love, but now it's rarely seen..."

Li Yunjing explained somewhat awkwardly.

So this thing didn't exist in the Ming Dynasty?

I wonder if these lovebirds exist in other parts of the Southern Continent?
Even if there isn't one, there must be one or more similar birds, right?
Li Yunjing thought about it for a moment and then thought it through with certainty.

"By the way, I'm planning to go to the 'Scripture Pavilion' today. I want to try and see if I can borrow some books on the Five Elements from the second floor."

After a tender moment, Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi parted ways, and he said with a smile.

"Let's go together! Perfect timing, I'm going to the second floor to borrow a book! Also, I'll get you a spot to go upstairs!"

After listening to Li Yunjing's words, Yu Yunyi thought for a moment and then said the same thing.

Before Li Yunjing could respond, Yu Yunyi took out her communication talisman and sent a message to someone.

"Let's go!"

"After a while," Yu Yunyi said with a smile.

"Is this good?"

Li Yunjing was startled and quite surprised.

"Of course not! But there's definitely no problem!"

Yu Yunyi said with a grin.

Looking at Yu Yunyi's confident demeanor, Li Yunjing knew that she must have sought help from a very powerful person in the Yu family within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

Li Yunjing had no doubt about the Yu family's strength.

The two passed through the teleportation array of "Chaoyang Peak" and arrived at "Jinxiu Peak".

The disciples guarding the teleportation array immediately greeted Li Yunjing.

This is a prodigy who came from their "Jinxiu Peak"!
Along the way, until they arrived at the "Scripture Pavilion", people kept coming and going to talk to Li Yunjing.

Even some Foundation Establishment cultivators who saw Li Yunjing would stop him and chat with him for a few minutes.

Yu Yunyi was very happy to see that Li Yunjing was so popular.

Yu Yunyi deeply sympathized with Li Yunjing's success and was proud of him.

"Senior Brother Li, Senior Sister Yu, you've arrived!"

When Shan Xiu, one of Li Yunjing's old subordinates, saw Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi enter, he couldn't help but excitedly go to the door to greet them.

"Shh..."

Li Yunjing chuckled, put his index finger to his lips, and shushed him.

Seeing that Shan Xiu had calmed down, Li Yunjing smiled and said, "Have you forgotten the rules? Speak quietly in the Scripture Pavilion."

"Hehe! I got so excited when I saw Senior Brother Li and Senior Sister Yu that I forgot all about the rules."

Dan Xiu scratched his head sheepishly and asked, "Senior Brother Li, Senior Sister Yu, did you come here to read?"

"Okay! Wait a minute!"

Li Yun nodded, but didn't say anything else.

He was waiting for Yu Yunyi's response.

At this moment, the other old subordinates also came over to greet Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi.

Last night, they attended Li Yunjing's banquet and witnessed the prestige of Senior Brother Li.

Upon seeing Li Yunjing again, they couldn't hide their excitement.

As the saying goes, when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

They hoped to benefit from Li Yunjing's success, and they were naturally very excited when they saw him.

"Yun Jing, we've received the message. We can go up to the second floor now."

While Li Yunjing was chatting with several of his old subordinates, Yu Yunyi patted Li Yunjing on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Ok!"

Nodding to Yu Yunyi, Li Yunjing looked at the others and said, "Yunyi and I will go upstairs. You all go ahead and do your work! We'll get together again when we have the chance."

"Yes, Senior Brother Li!"

Everyone watched with envy as Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi, this perfect couple, walked away.

This is a match made in heaven!

Look how powerful Miss Yu is! She even managed to get a spot for Senior Brother Li to go up to the second floor of the "Scripture Pavilion". She's really amazing!
Needless to say, Senior Brother Li has exceptional talent. In just one and a half years, he has already advanced from the first level of Qi Refining to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Such talent is worthy of the eldest daughter of the Yu family!

They arrived at the top of the stairs again. This time, before Li Yunjing could say anything, a Foundation Establishment cultivator walked over and said with a smile, "Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi, right?"

"It's us!"

Li Yun nodded and said in a deep voice.

"We've received a notice that you two can go in; no letters of introduction are needed!"

The man smiled kindly and spoke softly.

What Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi didn't know was that a storm was brewing inside this person's heart.

Yu Yunyi has no problem going up there; she's a true disciple!

Have the qualifications!
However, Li Yunjing was able to enter the second floor of the "Scripture Pavilion" without any procedures, making him practically the first exception in the last thousand years.

I wonder whose relationship this is?

Anyway, he had no choice but to obey the orders given by the elders above!
Soon, Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi arrived at the reception desk on the second floor of the "Scripture Pavilion" with practiced ease.

Li Yunjing said to the officers on duty, "Yu Yunyi and I will each deposit 50,000 spirit stones as contribution points!"

As he spoke, Li Yunjing reached out and swiped his hand across the counter, taking out 100,000 spirit stones.

The staff on duty on the second floor of the "Scripture Pavilion" were dumbfounded when they saw the mountain of low-grade spirit stones on the counter.

This was the first time they had ever seen someone spend so much money!

Even the Foundation Establishment cultivators who guided Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi upstairs stared wide-eyed, looking incredulous.

"No need, I have contribution points here..."

When Yu Yunyi saw that Li Yunjing had taken out so many spirit stones, she felt a warmth in her heart, but thinking of how hard her man had worked, she immediately refused Li Yunjing's kindness.

"Don't listen to her! Quickly count these spirit stones and exchange them for contribution points for us. We're in a hurry."

Li Yunjing tossed his own identity token to the counter, then reached out and took Yu Yunyi's identity token from her waist, also tossing it onto the counter.

"you……"

Yu Yunyi looked at Li Yunjing, as if she was about to say something.

"Okay! We'll exchange it for you right away!"

But before Li Yunjing could say anything, the staff had already realized what was going on.

They directly took Li Yunjing's 100,000 low-grade spirit stones.

According to the regulations, the contribution points were exchanged and transferred into the identity tokens of Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi.

This is a huge benefit for them; the "Scripture Pavilion" will reward them based on their performance.

Now that I've got these 100,000 spirit stones, how could I possibly give them back?
This senior disciple wouldn't allow Li Yunjing to spend so many spirit stones!

"Ugh……"

Yu Yunyi was deeply moved, and her gaze towards Li Yunjing was almost tearful. "Between us, there's no need for distinction. I have spirit stones; use them!"

Li Yunjing took Yu Yunyi's small hand and squeezed it, then chuckled softly.

"Um……"

With outsiders present, Yu Yunyi didn't say much, quietly leaning against Li Yunjing and obediently nodding.

The slight smile at the corner of his mouth was impossible to suppress.

At that moment, Yu Yunyi felt incredibly happy.

This scene drew envious glances from the officers on duty nearby.

The two inner female disciples, in particular, had their eyes shining, wishing they could replace Yu Yunyi and have such a considerate and ideal partner.

Even the other Foundation Establishment cultivators secretly admired Li Yunjing's generosity.

Some people who didn't know Li Yunjing suddenly realized why an inner disciple like Li Yunjing was able to pursue a true disciple; he was willing to spend a lot of money!

Little did they know that this was the first time Li Yunjing had ever made such a large gesture towards Yunyi.

Last time, at most I gave her a top-grade magic artifact and treated Yu Yunyi to a lavish meal.

There was no material offensive launched against Yunyi.

On the contrary, Yu Yunyi treated Li Yunjing well. She saved his life, gave him contribution points, and went to great lengths to help him solve Wei Henian's troubles.

All things considered, Li Yunjing actually owes Yunyi more.

But in love, how can you calculate things so clearly?

Yu Yunyi wouldn't care about these material things, and Li Yunjing wouldn't care whether he was benefiting from the Yu family's influence.

These are things that are naturally natural for two people to come together.

"Um……"

Yu Yunyi's gaze towards Li Yunjing changed, and she thought to herself, "Being with Li Yunjing was definitely the right choice!"

Meanwhile, the receptionist quickly completed the formalities and returned the identity tokens to Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi.

One of the staff members said, "Go to chambers 48 and 49."

"Okay! Thank you!"

Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi nodded and accepted their respective identity tokens.

This wasn't their first time here, and the two quickly found stone chambers numbered 48 and 49.

The two entered a stone chamber separately.

This time, Li Yunjing had enough points, and he planned to exchange them all for the top-tier books on the second floor of the "Scripture Pavilion".

On the second floor of the "Scripture Pavilion", the value of the books ranges from 300 contribution points to 9000 contribution points, from low to high.

Li Yunjing already had over 10,000 contribution points, and then exchanged them for another 50,000 contribution points.

His identity token has as many as 60,000 contribution points.

This time, Li Yunjing had enough to rely on. He sat down in the chair and began looking at the light screen in the stone chamber, quickly selecting one book after another.

The first and second levels of the "Reversing the Five Elements Technique" require a total of 18000 contribution points.

The first level of "Detailed Explanation of Puppetry" requires 9000 contribution points.

The first level of "Complete Basics of Alchemy" requires 9000 contribution points.

The first level of "Complete Explanation of Refining Knowledge" requires 9000 contribution points.

The second level of the Five Thunder Orthodox Method requires 9000 contribution points.

After Li Yunjing redeemed all the books, he didn't have many contribution points left; he only had 8000.

Of course, even with Li Yunjing's extraordinary comprehension, it's impossible for him to comprehend so many cultivation techniques at once.

In order not to waste contribution points, Li Yunjing memorized the text line by line, word by word, without making a single mistake in remembering a single word, punctuation mark, or picture.

Li Yunjing read through all the content three times to make sure he had memorized it perfectly before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Li Yunjing understood the rules here: there was only one day to read the text, and if he couldn't memorize it, he would need to spend contribution points again.

Li Yunjing couldn't let this go unpunished.

Of course, you should memorize it in detail, and after you leave, write it down from memory and keep it with you so that you can learn and understand it slowly in the future.

This is permitted by the "Shenxiao Daozong" (Divine Firmament Daoist Sect), but mutual borrowing is not allowed.

This kind of thing isn't impossible to find out.

If the truth comes out, you'll be in trouble, and the person who borrowed the book from you will be in even more trouble.

This is also why Li Yunjing never takes the initiative to discuss exchanging cultivation techniques with his friends.

He and Yu Yunyi became Daoist partners, and he didn't ask about the cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities Yu Yunyi practiced.

To undermine the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" is to go to war with the "Enforcement Hall"!

Li Yunjing has a bright future and wouldn't resort to such underhanded methods. If he wants to learn something, he will naturally do so through legitimate channels.

I stayed in the stone chamber for a full twenty-four hours.

When Li Yunjing came out of the stone chamber, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Not long after, Yu Yunyi also came out from a stone chamber next to her.

The two looked at each other and smiled, everything was understood without words, and it was clear that they had both benefited greatly.

After the two came down from the second floor of the "Scripture Pavilion", Li Yunjing did not go out immediately.

Instead, he borrowed a room from his old subordinates on the first floor of the "Scripture Pavilion".

He brought Yu Yunyi here and began to use his divine sense to inscribe the contents of the five books onto jade slips one by one.

"How was it? How was the harvest?"

Yu Yunyi asked after seeing that Li Yunjing had finished burning the disc.

"Don't worry! My memory is excellent, I've memorized it all, the contents of the book worth over 50,000 contribution points!"

Li Yunjing chuckled, a hint of relief in his voice.

Starting today, Li Yunjing has all the books he needs to study up to the Foundation Establishment stage, and he no longer needs to spend contribution points to exchange for books.

It can be said that Li Yunjing completely achieved his goal by taking advantage of the opportunity provided by Yu Yunyi.

"You've used up all your contribution points?"

Yu Yunyi was startled and quickly took off her identity token, saying, "I still have a lot of contribution points here, you can take them!"

Yu Yunyi only exchanged for one cultivation technique this time, but she didn't expect that Li Yunjing would exchange for five times more than her.
How smart must one's brain be to remember so much information?
It should be noted that Li Yunjing only exchanged for the most top-tier and profound books.

Even if a book only contains one or two layers of knowledge, the accumulated knowledge is enormous.

It normally takes ten days to half a month to read a book.

Li Yunjing could read ten lines at a glance and memorize all the books, which completely astonished Yu Yunyi.

At this moment, Yu Yunyi seemed to understand why Li Yunjing's cultivation had progressed so quickly.

She originally thought that Li Yunjing had obtained some incredible treasure.

Now it seems that Li Yunjing's brain is smart enough, and with this kind of understanding, what treasure does he need?
This kind of intelligence is the greatest wealth!
"No need! I don't lack contribution points right now! You can keep those contribution points for yourself!"

Li Yunjing waved his hand and immediately refused.

joke!

We've already given our contribution points, so why would we ask for them back?
Could Li Yunjing really do something like this?
How embarrassing!

"Let's go, Yunyi, it's time for us to head out."

Seeing that Yu Yunyi wanted to say something more, Li Yunjing changed the subject and said with a smile.

At the same time, he took out his communication talisman and sent messages to Su Guo and Jin Shouyun respectively, inviting them to "Welcoming Peak" to prepare for departure.

"This time, I'll set off aboard my 'Azure Cloud Boat'!"

Yu Yunyi went out the door and casually tossed a small boat into the air, where it flew up from her hand and appeared in the void.

"Yunyi, you also have a 'Azure Cloud Boat'?"

Li Yunjing was shocked; he hadn't expected Yu Yunyi to have such a good thing!
"Of course! I've spent almost all of my wealth on this 'Azure Cloud Boat'."

Yu Yunyi became somewhat excited when the "Azure Cloud Boat" was mentioned.

This is a treasure she finally managed to get her hands on!
"Sigh! You're such a rich girl! I can't even afford a flying boat like that!"

Li Yunjing shook his head and sighed.

At this point, it became clear what kind of wealth the eldest daughter of the Yu family possessed.

As the lowest-level flying warship of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", the "Qingyun Boat" is basically only purchased by wealthy cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

The "Azure Cloud Boats" used by others were all issued by the sect for temporary use.

These people do not have the right.

For example, the last time Li Yunjing went to the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect", and the first time he went to the "Youlan Mountains".

The "Azure Cloud Boat" they rode on those two occasions was the sect's flying boat.

When there is a mission, apply to the sect for assistance.

It has nothing to do with those Foundation Establishment cultivators who control the "Azure Cloud Boat".

Yu Yunyi's "Qingyun Boat" is her personal property.

Being able to afford such a flying boat shows just how wealthy and powerful Yu Yunyi is!
