Mo Tiange's attitude was so indifferent that everyone felt it was strange.
Late Nascent Soul cultivators didn't mind, but she was only in the Core Formation realm. Although she was only a step away from the Nascent Soul realm, this step was like heaven and earth. How could she not care about the cultivation technique inside?
But since she proposed this, no one objected because they felt they couldn't find any fault with it.
Drawing lots was inevitable to lose the demeanor of a late Nascent Soul cultivator. In the end, everyone randomly chose a Transporting Formation.
Repairing the Transporting Formation wasn't too difficult for the Nascent Soul cultivators. It only took them a little time to repair the relatively intact Transporting Formations, put spirit stones in them, and teleported into them.
It was only after everyone else impatiently left the Transporting Formation that Mo Tiange slowly put down the last spirit stone then pulled Qin Xi towards the Transporting Formation.
A white light flashed, and in an instant, the two of them appeared in a strange room.
This was a spacious hall, slightly smaller than the hall outside.
On the top of the hall, there was a huge bead floating in the air, shining with a bright but gentle light, illuminating the windowless hall as if it were daytime.
Inside the hall, there were neatly arranged purple-red bookshelves, emitting the fragrance of spirit wood. All kinds of books and jade slips were placed on the shelves, and there was a faint restrictive light on the surface of the bookshelves, which blocked Divine Sense.
Mo Tiange looked up and said casually, "This bead is good. It's been so many years, but it's still shining. If we take it back, it'll be much better than moonstones."
"Don't even think about it," Fu Yaozi said, "This bead is directly connected to the spirit vein here, which is why it hasn't been extinguished for more than 100,000 years. It'll be a waste if you take it."
"…" Mo Tiange wiped her sweat. She was just thinking about it casually.
Qin Xi sensed for a moment and didn't find any offensive restrictions around them. Feeling relieved, he turned around and asked, "Tiange, what are you planning?
Which stacks are we in? "
Mo Tiange showed a bitter smile and said, "Do you think I did it on purpose?
In that situation, what else could we do but retreat?
They're all stronger than us. "
Qin Xi was silent.
If they really fought, he didn't think he was much worse than those late Nascent Soul cultivators. However, those people had lived hundreds or thousands of years longer than him and had rich experience in fights of magical powers. He wouldn't be able to gain an advantage.
"However, it's really not a big deal."
She smiled and said, "Of the five book vaults, choosing the first two would be a great advantage, but we don't lack cultivation techniques. No matter which one we choose, we won't lose anything."
Qin Xi thought about it and agreed.
Both of their cultivation methods were inherited from the ancient times and even the Primordial Era. Although they didn't have the content of the Soul Formation Stage, with their special constitutions, it wasn't practical for them to change to other cultivation methods. It was better to cultivate to the Late Nascent Soul Realm and create their own cultivation methods.
Mo Tiange didn't immediately check the bookshelves. Instead, she turned around and laid a formation next to the Transporting Formation they just came from.
This array was no ordinary trapping array. It was a killing array that was listed as one of the ten most vicious arrays in the Xuanji Array Book. Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator were to enter, he would not be able to escape unscathed.
She was not the only one who did this. The first thing the others did after entering the library was to set up defensive measures, lest someone went back on their word and followed them with malicious intent.
While she was laying the formation, Qin Xi walked forward and took a book from the purple-red bookshelf in the front.
The books on this bookshelf were the lowest-level Aura Refining cultivation techniques. Sensing their cultivation levels, the restrictions on the bookshelf didn't activate, allowing them to take the book away.
"Huh? Rudimentary Pill-Concocting?"
Qin Xi opened the book and looked up with a smile. "It seems we didn't get a good draw, but it's not necessarily a bad thing."
Spells of the Five Elements, Cultivation Techniques, Martial Cultivation Path, Miscellaneous Knowledge of Pills and Tools, and Notes on Experiences. Among these five categories, the book vault containing spells of the Five Elements and Cultivation Techniques was naturally the most valuable.
Spells of the Five Elements were used in fights of magical powers, and Cultivation Techniques were related to the most fundamental cultivation and advancement, but the others weren't completely useless.
Martial cultivation was a branch of cultivators. It was once glorious in the Middle Ages. Many Middle Ages sects had complete martial cultivation techniques, including sword cultivation, body cultivation, and so on.
The value of this book vault was slightly lower than the other two, but it was still quite useful. In the eyes of martial cultivators, this book vault was the most valuable.
As for the other two categories, they seemed to be the least valuable at first glance, but they also had a chance to win the big prize.
For example, Notes on Experiences, which recorded strange things in the cultivation world, illustrated books on spiritual treasures, and cultivation experiences of cultivators. If one could find a way to advance to the Deification Realm from these books, its value was likely to surpass the other two!
As for Miscellaneous Knowledge of Pills and Tools, it might be dispensable for other people.
This was because many of the spiritual plants and objects that existed in the Middle Ages were already extinct today. Without raw materials, even if one knew the methods of pill-concocting and tool-refining, one couldn't cook a meal without rice — this was also the reason why many ancient pill recipes lost their value.
In this book vault, perhaps the valuable books were the ones that recorded talisman techniques and formations, but these were all side paths and were of no help in advancing to the Deification Realm.
However, these were all relative to other people. For the two of them, it was completely different.
Because Mo Tiange had the Virtual Sky World!
There were many extinct spiritual plants in the Virtual Sky World. Because of the lack of pill recipes, Mo Tiange could only let them grow and die on their own and couldn't use them.
Those rumored spiritual plants were easy for her to obtain, so it would be much easier to collect the spiritual plants required for these ancient pill recipes. Even if some supplementary materials were missing, with the amount of spiritual plants in the Virtual Sky World and the two of them, they could try to improve them.
This Immortal Palace was a great ancient sect that might have a Great Ascension cultivator, so it was very likely that it had peerless pill recipes for advancing to the Deification Realm. If they could really find them, they would be priceless treasures.
Mo Tiange already knew what was stored in this book vault. When everyone chose the Transporting Formation, Fu Yaozi already told her.
After arranging the formation, he walked over. "How is it? This ancient pill-concocting technique is no different from today's, right?"
Qin Xi read quickly and said with a smile, "There's not much difference. However, although this book is only for beginners, it's very useful.
There are some ancient books in the Virtual Sky World that we can't understand. This beginners pill-concocting book has detailed explanations for some basic techniques. "
"Oh?
That's a pleasant surprise. "
There were many ancient books left by the previous generation of cultivators in the Virtual Sky World, but because of the changes in the cultivation world, the two of them couldn't understand many of the contents. Even if they had pill recipes, they couldn't concoct some spiritual pills.
Now, this beginners pill-concocting book just solved this fundamental problem.
Upon discovering this, the two of them were overjoyed and began to immerse themselves in searching for useful books.
The Jade Slip from the Administrative Department of Buddhist Texts said that all the books in this book vault couldn't be taken away and could be copied using identity cards. The number of ancient books that could be copied was also different according to one's cultivation level.
They didn't have identity cards, and there were complicated restrictions in this book vault that couldn't be copied directly. This restriction was related to the foundation of this book vault, so it should've been set up by the cultivators with the highest cultivation levels in this great ancient sect. It wasn't something they could break with their cultivation levels.
Therefore, they could only use the stupidest method — forcibly take away the useful books.
In this way, they had to act according to their abilities. It was impossible to take away all the books because breaking the restrictions wasn't a simple matter.
The two of them discussed for a while and decided to break the highest level books first.
There wasn't only one room in the book vault. At the end, there was a small Transporting Formation. After putting down a spirit stone, they could enter the next room.
The first room contained Aura Refining books, the second room contained Foundation Building books, and so on.
According to Fu Yao Zi, he once entered a Deification realm room. Although they were only one realm apart, the difference in strength was like heaven and earth. The restrictions inside weren't something they could break, so they could only give up.
Therefore, when they reached the room containing Nascent Soul secret books, the two of them stopped and Qin Xi began to search.
In the first room, there were as many Aura Refining books as there was an ocean, but in the second and third rooms, there were fewer books. In the fourth room, there were even fewer Nascent Soul books.
Even so, it still took Qin Xi more than an hour to go through all the ancient books and records.
"This trip wasn't in vain!" Qin Xi said to Mo Tiange with a happy expression after he withdrew his divine sense from a Jade Slip.
Since he rarely showed such a happy expression, Mo Tiange asked, "What did you find?"
Qin Xi waved the Jade Slip in his hand and said, "This book is called Returning to Truth in Dao of Alchemy. It records the lifelong knowledge of an ancient master of alchemy, including pill-concocting techniques and recipes for many miraculous pills.
One of them is called the Deification Pill! "
"Deification Pill!" Not only was Mo Tiange surprised, but Fu Yao Zi on the Fusheng Sword was also startled.
Qin Xi said with a smile, "You should be able to understand the use of this pill from its name, right?
When you cultivate to the peak of the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm and try to break through to the Deification realm, it can help you form your soul! "
Mo Tiange calmed down and asked hurriedly, "What about the required spiritual plants?"
Qin Xi looked at it again and said hesitantly, "We can collect most of them, but there are some that we've never heard of."
This was inevitable. No matter how many spiritual plants there were in the Virtual Sky World, it was impossible to collect all the spiritual plants in the world. Moreover, for a miraculous pill like the Deification Pill, the spiritual plants it needed must be rare treasures!
"There's no need to hurry. Not to mention that I haven't formed my Nascent Soul, even for you, it's not easy to advance from the middle stage to the peak of the late stage. With our lifespans, we have plenty of time to search slowly."
"En."
At that moment, Fu Yao Zi sighed. "I didn't expect there would be a pill recipe for the Deification Pill in this library. Unfortunately, the five of us were on guard against each other back then, so we couldn't check them one by one and missed it."
The two of them were very satisfied after finding the pill recipe for the Deification Pill. Under Fu Yao Zi's guidance, they spent another four hours to break the restrictions and take these books and Jade Slips from this room.
Qin Xi had consumed a lot of spiritual aura when he left the fourth room, so he had to adjust his breathing first.
Fortunately, the spiritual pills Mo Tiange prepared were sufficient. It only took her less than an hour to almost fully recover.
The third room was filled with books for the Core Formation realm, so Mo Tiange could also help. Although there were many books, her speed was faster. Moreover, she was already familiar with the method of breaking the restrictions, so she only spent two hours.
The first two rooms were even faster. Aura Refining and Foundation Building realm books weren't of much use to them, so they only found a few basic ancient books before they left.
