"Are you sure you've chosen this Spell?"
The Scripture Pavilion Elder was startled.
"That's right!" Su Yuan confirmed.
"You have great courage! But your spirit root?" The Elder shook his head, the meaning self-evident.
In response, Su Yuan remained silent. It was impossible for him to explain to the Elder that he was a cheater.
"Since that's the case, so be it."
The Elder only gave a reminder. Seeing Su Yuan's insistence, he didn't mind. His palm swept over the scripture, and a rich purple mystic light illuminated it.
The Elder placed it on Su Yuan's forehead.
In an instant, a vast amount of knowledge surged into Su Yuan's Sea of Consciousness.
A bead of cold sweat appeared on Su Yuan's forehead, but he still endured this influx of knowledge.
The Elder revealed a hint of surprise: "Interesting."
Su Yuan opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Elder!"
"So be it, go back. Just don't regret it in the future!" the Elder said.
"Yes!"
Su Yuan nodded, then left the Scripture Pavilion with light steps.
Su Yuan turned around and headed towards the Library Pavilion, continuing to read.
Behind the bookshelf, Zheng He walked out, holding a scripture in his hand. He looked at Su Yuan's receding figure, his expression a bit strange, the corners of his mouth slightly curved.
The Elder glanced at him and said, "Envious of others' talent makes it difficult to achieve the Great Dao!"
Zheng He's expression froze. He lowered his head and explained, "I just gave him a little advice. He chose it himself!"
The Elder lightly snorted and said no more. What thoughts could a teenager in his teens have that he couldn't see?
"Hand it over!"
"Yes!" Zheng He quickly handed the Spell scripture in his hand to the Elder.
"Profound Tier Low Grade Spell? Are you sure?" the Elder prompted.
"This is the one!" Zheng He said firmly.
The Elder nodded, unsealed it, and placed it on Zheng He's head.
Zheng He's mind went blank, and his body almost swayed and fell. The Elder casually waved his hand, steadying his body.
After a while, Zheng He recovered and left after thanking him.
On a treetop outside the Scripture Pavilion, Valley Master Lan took out a notebook and recorded something.
[Zheng He is jealous of the capable and virtuous, appears gentle, but has a sinister nature. He has the potential to Cultivate demonic arts and is a good candidate for an undercover agent]
[Liu Miaowen adopts a detached attitude, keeping out of trouble. To be observed]
[Ye Bufan is arrogant and hesitant by nature. Needs tempering]
[Su Yuan? Strange kid, very bold.]
The Valley Master muttered to himself, "I've observed the Disciples enough. I'll find a place to have a good sleep and wait for the three-month period!"
Turning around, the Valley Master disappeared, making a quick getaway.
The Scripture Pavilion Elder glanced at the direction the Valley Master disappeared, and said speechlessly, "The Valley Master is still like this. On the surface, he acts proper and dignified, but secretly he likes to sneak around! He also likes to be lazy! No wonder his personality has kept him stuck at the Bottleneck! Alas!"
In the distance, Zheng He cursed inwardly, "That Pavilion Guarding Elder is really nosy. He likes to give pointers to others when there's nothing going on. Who needs your pointers? Don't you know not to point out the obvious? No wonder he was ostensibly promoted but actually demoted to become an Elder in the Immortal Seed Valley Scripture Pavilion! He must have offended someone!"
Su Yuan was unaware of what happened afterward.
He leisurely arrived at the Library Pavilion and casually picked up a book to flip through.
The Library Pavilion Disciple Yin Qin was still the same, dozing in his chair. Su Yuan's arrival didn't even attract Yin Qin's attention; he had already become familiar with Su Yuan's footsteps.
Su Yuan happily read until late into the night.
Another hundred books were read by him.
Yin Qin woke up and smiled helplessly, "Little Su, are you planning to finish reading all the books in the entire Library Pavilion?"
"I'll try my best. There are only 79 days left!" Su Yuan also said, troubled, "There are so many books here, at least over a hundred thousand volumes!"
"I just asked casually. Are you really planning to do that?" Yin Qin said, shocked.
"Is that not allowed?" Su Yuan asked, puzzled.
"It's allowed, but if you think there's too little time, why don't you come and help me with the night watch? That way, you can spend the night here reading." Yin Qin suddenly said.
"Huh?" Su Yuan said with a bewildered look, "I can help you with the watch?"
"Of course you can!" Yin Qin patted his chest and said, "Although the books here cannot be taken out, it's not a very important place, so any Disciple can guard it!"
"Alright then!" Su Yuan nodded.
"It's settled then. You'll guard tonight. I'll come and take over from you tomorrow morning. Just read as much as you want!" Yin Qin laughed heartily.
"Okay!" Su Yuan said.
Yin Qin patted his shoulder, handed a Library Pavilion token to Su Yuan, and then Yin Qin walked out of the Library Pavilion in a carefree manner, disappearing in a flash.
Su Yuan closed the door of the Library Pavilion and looked at the vast amount of books in the entire Library Pavilion with shining eyes!
Before, with Yin Qin nearby, he didn't dare to go too far. Now that no one was watching him, he could speed up his browsing!
Su Yuan came to a bookshelf, opened a book, and quickly flipped through it like a wave. With his second-level Refining Qi eyesight, he instantly scanned all the content on the pages into his eyes. Naturally, he couldn't remember it all right now, but this content had actually entered his mind, and once the entries were activated, he could complete the memorization rapidly!
One book, two books, three books,...
Su Yuan thus diligently flipped through the books.
Early morning.
Su Yuan lay on Senior Brother Yin Qin's chair, lazily dozing. His appearance was already somewhat similar to Senior Brother Yin Qin's.
"Senior Brother, I want to read for a while!"
A clear female voice woke Su Yuan.
He said groggily, "Feel free to read, but don't take them out, and don't mess them up!"
"It's you?" Liu Muwan said in surprise.
Su Yuan yawned, rubbed his eyes, and said, "So it's Senior Sister Liu."
"What are you doing here?" Liu Muwan asked with a strange expression.
"Guarding the Library Pavilion? Is there a problem?" Su Yuan replied.
"No..." Liu Muwan was speechless.
"Then I'll go read!" Liu Muwan said.
"Feel free!" Su Yuan nodded.
Liu Muwan strolled into the Library Pavilion. Turning her head, she saw Su Yuan dozing off again.
"This Su Yuan, he sleeps here, and he sleeps in the Lecture Hall. How much time does he actually spend on cultivation?"
Liu Muwan couldn't understand Su Yuan. She always felt he was very strange.
Yesterday, she heard Su Yuan's words "one method connects to all methods" and was inspired. So today, she planned to come to the Library Pavilion to look for some cultivation experience. Unexpectedly, she met this strange guy Su Yuan again. This person is even stranger now!
She shook her head inwardly and began searching for some cultivation experience notes, quickly becoming immersed in them.
After a while longer.
Ye Bufan also stepped into the Library Pavilion. He scanned the Library Pavilion and found Liu Muwan's figure. Just as he was about to casually find a book to read, he heard a familiar voice coming from beside him.
Su Yuan seemed to sense someone entering and said with his eyes closed, "Feel free to read, don't take them out, and don't mess them up!"
After speaking, Su Yuan continued to doze off.
Ye Bufan's mouth twitched. He turned around and glanced at Su Yuan. After confirming that this was indeed Su Yuan, he slightly furrowed his brows, looked at Liu Muwan, then looked at Su Yuan again, lightly snorted, and casually picked up a cultivation note to read as well.
Half an hour passed.
Yin Qin arrived.
"Junior Brother Su, how was it?"
Su Yuan woke up and laughed heartily, "Don't worry, nothing happened!"
"Did anyone come in just now?"
"Seems like one person?" Su Yuan thought for a moment and said.
"Oh? That's quite good! Usually, I don't even see half a person."
Su Yuan's mouth twitched: "Am I not a person?"
"Uh, that's not what I meant."
Su Yuan rolled his eyes at him, bid farewell to Yin Qin, and headed to the Lecture Hall, beginning his daily routine of slacking off.
After finishing the class, he returned to his small hut and handed some resources to Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei said in shock, "You, you're giving this to me? I can't accept it!"
Su Yuan rolled his eyes at Zhang Wei: "You wish. A thousand times the return, have you forgotten?"
"But that will delay your own cultivation, right?" Zhang Wei still hesitated.
"Before, when I didn't have resources, my cultivation progress seemed better than yours. There's absolutely no problem for me to enter the Outer Sect, but you might not!" Su Yuan said.
"This..." Zhang Wei's expression showed emotion, "You know all my clients fell through?"
"Yeah, I guessed!" Su Yuan said.
"Thank you!"
Zhang Wei immediately regained his confidence and said, "Even if others scheme against me, what of it? I have a Low Grade Dual Spirit Root and astonishing comprehension. Coupled with your resource supply, entering the Outer Sect is just taking something from a pouch! Don't worry, in the future, you and I will be the unrivaled twin stars of the Outer Sect, sweeping through the Outer Sect with no opponents!"
Su Yuan's eye twitched: "I believe you!"
Zhang Wei left full of confidence!
Time passed in the blink of an eye, nearly three months.
On this day, Su Yuan said to Yin Qin, "Senior Brother, I might not be able to come tomorrow!"
"Huh? What's wrong?" Yin Qin asked in surprise.
"I'll be going all out to challenge for Rank in the next few days!" Su Yuan said.
Hearing this, Yin Qin finally realized that Su Yuan was still an Immortal Seed.
"That's right, there really aren't many days left!" Yin Qin sighed, "I hope you can enter the Outer Sect. We'll have a chance to meet then!"
Su Yuan smiled and nodded.
Yin Qin also said, "In the future, if you want to read, you can also go to the Library Pavilion within the peak. Although the books might not be as abundant as here, there will be enough for you to read!"
"That won't be necessary!" Su Yuan shook his head and said.
"Why, aren't you reading anymore?" Yin Qin asked in surprise.
"I've finished reading!" Su Yuan said with a smile.
"You kid, there are a total of one hundred and eighty thousand books in this Library Pavilion! You're saying you finished reading all of them?"
Su Yuan shook his head and said, "I'm just kidding!"
"Scram!"
Yin Qin laughed and scolded.
Su Yuan laughed heartily and left the Library Pavilion.
He returned to his room with light steps all the way.
Zhou Wuyou was already waiting there.
"How was the investigation?" Su Yuan asked.
Zhou Wuyou said solemnly, "Among the High Grade Spirit Roots, the strongest, Zheng He, has already reached the third level of Refining Qi and has just opened eight orifices! The weakest one has also reached the seven-orifice level. The strongest Mid-Grade Spirit Root Disciple has reached the level of six orifices at the second level of Refining Qi, and the worst Mid-Grade Spirit Root Disciple has also reached the level of five orifices at the second level of Refining Qi. This is the current situation. As long as you reach five orifices, you can enter the Outer Sect. Seven orifices will allow you to enter the Inner Sect."
"Zheng He just opened eight orifices?" Su Yuan was surprised.
"The further you Cultivate, the more spiritual energy is consumed. Zheng He's speed is already extremely exaggerated!" Zhou Wuyou sighed.
"How are you doing now?" Su Yuan asked.
"I've just reached the second level of Refining Qi and opened four orifices!"
"I understand. You can go back and just wait for my good news!" Su Yuan said.
A look of joy appeared on Zhou Wuyou's face. He put down today's 25 portions of resources and turned to leave.
After Zhou Wuyou left, Su Yuan also felt a bit strange in his heart.
In these almost three months, he hadn't cultivated, yet the spiritual energy in his body automatically grew to 2300 wisps of spiritual energy, already meeting the conditions for opening six orifices. Is cultivation really that difficult?
He looked at the System panel.
[Name]: Su Yuan
[Region]: Qingke Continent
[Level]: Unknown (54/100)

[Entry 1]: "Work-Rest Balance": You are very skilled at "Work-Rest Balance". The longer your rest time, the better your cultivation effect. Current rest time: 72 days 8.2 hours
"I haven't cultivated for 72 days of rest. How powerful should this effect be?" Su Yuan thought to himself.
