Outside the bamboo hut, Baiyu started chatting with Xiaoqing after she stopped playing the zither.
Although Xiaoqing appeared a bit quiet.
She was still quite talkative.
Baiyu quickly learned from her that she had followed her master to the mountains from a young age and had been diligently studying there, rarely going down.
"Are you familiar with the affairs of the mainland?"
Baiyu asked.
The other person nodded: "I know about the situation on the mainland, but without strength, it's impossible to contribute anything to the current situation."
Xiaoqing's parents also died during the demon invasion, and her hatred for the demons was as great as anyone's.
However, she clearly understood that only on this mountain could she learn enough skills.
"That's right, does your master always like this style of architecture?" Baiyu began to inquire about Xiaoqing's master.
Such a quaint and classical style.
Baiyu rarely saw it on the mainland.
Xiaoqing nodded: "It seems our founder liked it; he was an Immortal, but later disappeared in the Spirit Realm.
My master was influenced by him from a young age.
Apparently, our lineage has always been drawn to this style. It's quite unique, isn't it?"
In the current environnt.
Such a lifestyle and Xiaoqing's attire seed quite unique to others, but to Baiyu, it felt very familiar.
"How old is your master this year?"
Baiyu continued to ask.
Xiaoqing replied: "I'm not really sure, but I've heard from other elders here that my master is at least over a thousand years old."
A thousand years.
That's certainly within the realm of an Immortal.
It seems that Wang Da, who knew her master, was also either an Immortal or a Semi-Eternal.
Otherwise, such a relationship wouldn't be possible.
Though they chatted, both of them also kept an eye on Wang Da's progress. He was walking on the short path of the bamboo hut, but for each step he took, large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, and his muscles and bones trembled.
Extrely arduous.
At this mont, Wang Da was clearly in great tornt, and he had to persevere, or he would never reach the wooden hut.
"It seems that Elder Wang might not make it for a while; do you need to rest? We have guest rooms nearby specifically for visitors."
Xiaoqing suggested.
Baiyu pondered for a mont; he had nothing else to do. Coming to the Silence Bookstore was solely to study knowledge and mastery of the Power of Destruction. Clearly, both Wang Da and Xiaoqing's master were powerful figures.
He might as well wait here.
After all, this bamboo forest was deep and exceptionally quiet, the best place for reading and learning.
"Hold on, I'll go prepare and co up, probably just an hour or two."
After saying this to Xiaoqing, Baiyu headed directly down the path leading down the mountain. Xiaoqing was stunned for quite a while, and by the ti she recovered, Baiyu's figure had already disappeared, making her feel it was quite unbelievable.
This person.
Such thick-skinned.
Clearly able to descend the mountain, yet he went down to fetch things and co back to stay. She had never encountered such a peculiar style of handling things.
...
Baiyu returned to the foot of the mountain, not needing much, as the Silence Bookstore lacked nothing in terms of daily necessities.
What he wanted was the books inside the library.
Wang Da, Wang Er, and Wang San were all librarians; because of Wang Da, Baiyu now got along quite well with them, so taking a few books out through back channels shouldn't be an issue.
Sure enough.
When Baiyu found Wang Er and Wang San, they readily allowed him to take any books he could carry.
However.
Baiyu discovered that many books couldn't be taken out, mostly those related to mysticism, involving very profound knowledge, requiring Baiyu to study them carefully without any distractions.
However, this was only part of the books.
Most books were still available for borrowing, including many on mysticism, various Spirit Techniques, and knowledge studies.
An hour later.
Baiyu, carrying a large stack of books, ascended the mountain again, with no obstacles this ti. When Xiaoqing saw this display, she was once again surprised.
She hadn't expected Baiyu to be such a fervent learner.
And so.
Baiyu settled in the small bamboo hut beside the bamboo forest, reading daily, waiting for his academic experience value to steadily increase, and occasionally checking on Wang Da's progress.
To put it another way.
Baiyu felt that Wang Da was quite possibly being set up. There was clearly a significant problem with that path; such an esteed figure from the Eclipse Moon Realm making little to no progress in two days was entirely unacceptable.
Moreover, he was evidently enduring constant tornt.
But judging from his eyes, Wang Da clearly had no intention of giving up, and moreover, he had a sense of relentless determination to never admit defeat until his goal was achieved.
Baiyu shook his head.
During this period, apart from looking for ways to nd his Divine Soul, Baiyu was intensely studying chanical Science.
The chanical Race had shocked him deeply.
Being able to contend with the colossal Human Imperial, the chanical Race was clearly no pushover, which was why Baiyu was rigorously studying chanical Science.
When the spiritual aura eventually dissipates.
Upon entering the vast universe, interaction with the chanical Race would be inevitable, and whether piloting spaceships or operating machinery, chanical Science would be essential.
Baiyu currently has three activation points in chanical Science.
chanical Affinity (3/3): You have an affinity for all chanical devices, making them easier to handle and control.
chanical Modification (5/5): You can modify chanical devices according to your ideas and available tools, often achieving unique effects due to your sudden inspirations. Of course, you need to have basic chanical knowledge.
Master of chanical Design (2/5): You can better design various chanical devices and make simple breakthroughs beyond common sense, designing seemingly impossible chanics such as a flying motorcycle.
He had invested a total of ten activation points in chanical Science.
After upgrading chanical Science to LV5, he obtained five points, and through his recent studies, he gained another five points.
It seems that upon entering the second stage of the knowledge tree.
Once he accumulated a certain amount of knowledge, he could gain activation points, significantly reducing the difficulty of obtaining activation points compared to before.
Of course.
This was also due to the virtually inexhaustible supply of books around Baiyu; the library of Silence Bookstore was incredibly well-stocked.
Although Baiyu heard it wasn't the only library of the Silence Bookstore.
Even just this one was enough for Baiyu to crazily enhance his knowledge in various fields.
While Baiyu was on the mountain continuously studying.
Below the Silence Bookstore.
A bloody, bizarre individual, with twisted green vines on his body, staggered toward them.
