91: Libraries are books of everything!

"Grinding?" Bai Jinnian asked, confused.

"It just means... well, having perseverance, determination, and sticking to one path until the end," Chu Xuanjin offered a simple, easy-to-understand explanation.

Bai Jinnian nodded as if he understood.

Although he didn't understand what "high-spirited" meant, he heard the appreciation in his Revered Master's words.

This appreciation was something he had never seen in anyone else's eyes.

A warm current flowed slowly through his heart, washing away the grievances and loneliness of many years.

Just as Chu Xuanjin was about to buy two more meat buns, a familiar and pleasant voice rang out in his mind.

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully accepting the seventh Personal Disciple!】

【Detected Disciple potential: Divine Grade (Sacred Word Dao Body)!】

【Triggered divine rank reward!】

Here it comes!

Chu Xuanjin felt happy inside; the main course had finally arrived.

【Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Cultivation Empowerment (Middle Stage Earth Immortal)!】

A gentle yet vast and boundless energy appeared out of thin air within Chu Xuanjin's limbs and bones.

The cultivation bottleneck that had just broken through to the Early-stage Earth Immortal was easily shattered like paper.

His immortal essence became more condensed, his Divine Soul power surged, and his comprehension of the Laws of Heaven and Earth instantly improved by a level.

Chu Xuanjin burped nonchalantly, perfectly concealing the aura of his surging cultivation.

Comfortable.

【Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: divine rank Cultivation Technique "Word Spirit: Book of All Things"!】

【Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Divine Artifact - spring and autumn brush!】

【Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Sect building blueprint - Myriad Volume Heavenly Book Pavilion!】

The series of rewards made Chu Xuanjin's mouth twist into a grin.

Cultivation Technique, Divine Artifact, and a bonus Sect library.

This wave was a huge profit!

He was in a great mood, and looking at Bai Jinnian, who was still a bit reserved, he felt that the more he looked, the more pleasing he became.

"Are you full?" Chu Xuanjin asked.

Bai Jinnian nodded quickly: "I am full, Revered Master."

"Since you're full, it's time to get down to business." Chu Xuanjin wiped his hands and took something out from his bosom.

It was an ancient Jade Slip, warm and moist throughout, emitting a faint scholarly aura, completely different in shape from the tokens he gave to other Disciples.

"This is the disciple token of my Myriad Dao Divine Sect."

"Drip a drop of blood on it."

Bai Jinnian obeyed, bit his fingertip, and dripped a drop of fresh blood onto the Jade Slip.

The blood was instantly absorbed, and the Jade Slip flashed with light, turning into a stream of light that submerged into the center of his eyebrows.

A massive flow of information poured into Bai Jinnian's mind.

He instantly understood the various wonderful uses of this token.

Return to the Sect anytime, anywhere, block a fatal attack, communicate with fellow Disciples...

What shocked him the most was the introduction to "Myriad Dao Divine Mountain" in the token.

A true immortal world independent of the Azure Cloud Continent!

"Stand firm." Chu Xuanjin reminded him.

Before Bai Jinnian could react, he felt the scene in front of him distort.

The next instant, the noisy street scene of Jixia City disappeared.

Replacing it was a fairyland that made all the poetry and songs he had read in his life pale in comparison.

The Spiritual Qi was so dense that it turned into tangible white mist, flowing between the mountains.

Immortal cranes sang in the clouds, and spiritual deer chased and played in the forest.

In the distance, an ancient tea tree that reached the sky stretched out its branches and leaves, and every leaf seemed to carry a complete Dao.

Nearby, palaces and pavilions were arranged in rows, hidden among green mountains and clear waters, magnificent and majestic, yet full of the natural charm of Dao.

"...Such a scene should only exist in heaven; how often can one hear of it in the human world?"

Bai Jinnian muttered to himself subconsciously, his eyes filled with shock and fascination.

He had read the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and imagined the magnificence of the Kunlun Immortal Mountain.

He had read "Free and Easy Wandering" and yearned for the vastness of the Northern Darkness Heavenly Pool.

But everything in front of him was far more real and magnificent than any scene described in ancient books.

"It's okay, it's just a bit sparse on people, a bit lonely," Chu Xuanjin commented casually.

This pretentious tone left Bai Jinnian not knowing how to respond.

Chu Xuanjin took him, stepped through the air, and arrived at a quiet and elegant mountain peak.

This peak was covered with green bamboo, a clear stream flowed gurglingly, the environment was elegant, and there was no noise at all.

"From now on, this will be your Immortal Cave," Chu Xuanjin said, pointing to a bamboo house on the top of the peak.

"Thank you, Revered Master." Bai Jinnian bowed deeply.

"Sit."

Chu Xuanjin waved his hand, and a set of stone tables and stools appeared by the stream.

After he sat down, he looked at Bai Jinnian and said: "Do you know what your Physique is?"

Bai Jinnian shook his head.

"Sacred Word Dao Body," Chu Xuanjin slowly spat out four words.

"Your Dao does not lie in breathing Spiritual Qi, nor in tempering the Physical Body. Your Dao lies in 'Words' and 'Reason'."

"One word can become a mountain; one sentence can become a sea."

"Your spiritual power is the knowledge in your belly. Your Magic Treasure is the pen and ink in your hand."

As Chu Xuanjin spoke, he took out a pen.

It was a wolf-hair pen that looked unremarkable; the pen holder was made of green bamboo, and the tip was made of purple hair.

But the moment it appeared, all the green bamboo on the mountain peak made a happy buzzing sound, as if worshipping their king.

"This pen is called 'Spring and Autumn', a Divine Artifact."

Chu Xuanjin handed the pen to Bai Jinnian.

"It will be your best partner in the future."

Bai Jinnian stretched out his trembling hands and took the pen.

As soon as the pen holder was in his hand, a gentle and righteous Qi surged into his Sea of Consciousness along his arm. He felt his Divine Soul instantly become a hundred times clearer, and every word of all the classics he had read in the past appeared clearly, and he had new insights.

"As for the Cultivation Technique..."

Chu Xuanjin flicked his finger, and a golden light submerged into Bai Jinnian's eyebrows.

"Word Spirit: Book of All Things"!

The vast scriptures unfolded in his mind.

That was not a simple Cultivation Technique, but more like a fundamental canon that explained the operating Laws of all things in the world!

Bai Jinnian was immersed in it, absorbing it hungrily, and his whole person fell into a mysterious state of Epiphany.

Chu Xuanjin did not disturb him.

He knew that this Disciple had been suppressed for too long.

Like a huge treasure house, but without a key.

Now, he had given him the key, and once the gate of the treasure house was opened, it would surely bloom with brilliant light.

He got up, ready to leave, and let Bai Jinnian digest it slowly.

"As a Revered Master, I will not teach you how to Cultivate."

Chu Xuanjin's voice came leisurely.

"I will only assign you your first lesson."

"Use this pen to write your first word in this world."

"Think it through, then put pen to paper."

After speaking, his figure disappeared in place.

In the bamboo forest, only Bai Jinnian was left.

He slowly opened his eyes; the confusion and sickness in his eyes had long disappeared, replaced by unprecedented clarity and firmness.

Holding the spring and autumn brush, he walked to the blue stone by the stream.

The stone surface was smooth as a mirror, reflecting his figure.

Write the first word.

Write what?

Heaven? Earth? Dao? Law?

Countless grand words flashed through his mind, and were rejected one by one.

He remembered his torn "Spring and Autumn", remembered those mocking faces, and remembered his Revered Master's words, "Understand reason, know shame".

Finally, he took a deep breath, and his wrist sank slightly.

The tip of the spring and autumn brush, saturated with clear stream water, slowly fell on the bluestone slab.

What he wrote was not some earth-shattering Dao pattern, nor was it some mysterious Talisman.

What he wrote was just one word, the simplest and most complex.

— — Person.

A stroke to the left, a stroke to the right.

Simple, pure, yet seemingly containing the most fundamental truth in the world.

When the last stroke fell.

"Boom!"

The entire Myriad Dao Divine Mountain shook slightly.

An invisible righteous Qi rose from the mountain peak where Bai Jinnian was, turning into a beam of light that pierced through heaven and earth!

Within the Divine Mountain, all Disciples, whether Cultivating or working, felt it, and looked up at the beam of light in unison, their eyes filled with awe.

...

Chu Xuanjin lay on his exclusive rocking chair, feeling the changes in the Sect's Luck, and smiled contentedly.

"Not bad, not bad."

"This seventh Disciple was not taken in vain."

"Starting with a 'Person' character, it triggered the Sect's Luck. If he writes an 'Immortal' character or a 'God' character in the future, what will happen?"

He swung his legs, feeling extremely relaxed.
