Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 75 The Palace of Ten Thousand Scrolls

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother! How should I address you, Senior Brother?"

Li Yunjing retrieved his identity token and asked with a smile.

"My name is Bai Dingzhong, and I'm in charge of patrolling the mountain. When I'm on vacation, I'll treat Junior Brother Li to a drink!"

Bai Dingzhong was very pleased that Li Yunjing was so responsive, and immediately offered to treat him to a drink.

Li Yunjing had just arrived at the "Scripture Pavilion" and was appointed as a manager.

Without much thought, this person must be someone with connections, and seems to have quite a background; otherwise, they couldn't have risen so high to such a prestigious position.

With his background and kind personality, Li Yunjing was someone Bai Dingzhong naturally wanted to befriend.

"Of course! Of course! Once I've settled in and familiarized myself with the tasks here, I'll treat Brother Bai to a drink!"

Li Yunjing said another polite word before continuing up the mountain.

Things are different now. Li Yunjing sighed softly. Back when he was assigned to "Qiongze Peak", Hou Boyan was a complete jerk.

They didn't take him seriously at all; they treated him like a servant, summoning him at will and dismissing him at will.

Li Yunjing had absolutely no face left.

Now, he has obtained some of the Yu family's resources, and it's good to have a powerful backer.

With a good job, the people around me became much kinder.

This cultivation world is so realistic!

Li Yunjing sighed inwardly, remaining vigilant. Now that he was up, he couldn't afford to fall.

Right now, we're relying on the Yu family and Fu Chao—both external forces. In the future, we'll have to rely on ourselves to carve out our own niche in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect."

Return the favors you've done, and let others rely on you for support!
"Senior Brother Bai, who is this Li Yunjing? How come he was able to get a position as a manager on the first floor of the 'Scripture Pavilion' right away?"

Seeing Li Yunjing's departing figure, an outer disciple curiously asked Bai Dingzhong.

"Heh heh! Probably just some young master from some wealthy family! It has nothing to do with us. In fact, no matter what, such a lucrative job wouldn't fall into our laps!"

Bai Dingzhong watched Li Yunjing's departing figure and said enviously.

Once you start working in the "Library," you can take the opportunity to read books. You should know that non-duty personnel have to pay to read books in the "Library"!

Every book requires contribution points!

You have no contribution points, yet you want to read books?
Don't even think about it!

In the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", apart from the free cultivation methods and spells, the vast majority of the techniques and spells were contributed by the sages of past generations. Of course, there were also techniques from other sects that were acquired during their training outside.

These techniques are hard-won and naturally cannot be taught to everyone.

Contribution points are the benchmark that guides disciples' cultivation!
You can't learn anything without money!
The succession mechanism of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" does not allow disciples to live a life of idleness and rely entirely on the sect's support.

Furthermore, the Shenxiao Dao Sect explicitly stipulates that disciples are not allowed to teach each other cultivation techniques, and those caught doing so will be severely punished!
Of course, this isn't so easy to define!

However, not many people dared to violate the sect's laws, because the people in the "Enforcement Hall" would really punish anyone they caught.

Most people follow the rules and use their contribution points to exchange for books to study.

Bai Dingzhong and the other patrolmen who went to read books also had to contribute points.

Throughout the entire "Jinxiu Peak", only those disciples who can complete tasks inside the "Scripture Pavilion" have the opportunity to read books for free.

Li Yunjing continued up the mountain path, encountering more than a dozen patrols along the way. By the time he reached the summit, he had encountered several groups of inner disciples on duty.

These people didn't continue to check Li Yunjing; it seemed that after passing the first checkpoint at the foot of the mountain, the patrol personnel above knew the purpose of the visitors. When Li Yunjing stood on the mountaintop and looked at the huge palace in front of him, he suddenly realized that the "Scripture Pavilion" was not a pavilion at all!
It was a palace.

This palace was built in a square shape.

Three li ahead of Li Yunjing is the main gate, "Zhuque Gate".

To the left of the Vermilion Bird Gate is the Azure Dragon Gate, to the right is the White Tiger Gate, and to the north is the Black Tortoise Gate.

"Junior brother, what brings you here?"

In front of the Vermilion Bird Gate, four inner disciples blocked Li Yunjing's path.

Once we get here, we'll be checked again.

This shows just how tightly guarded the "Library Pavilion" was!
And this is what Li Yunjing can see. As far as he knows, there are many experts in the "Scripture Pavilion". Foundation Establishment Realm is nothing. In the Central Mountains, any institution is a den of dragons and tigers.

Even outsiders at the Golden Core stage who try to infiltrate are courting death!

“Disciple Li Yunjing, this is your identity token.”

Faced with the inner disciples' inspection, Li Yunjing did not hesitate and immediately took out his identity token again.

"Hey! Good heavens, Junior Brother Li, you've landed a lucrative job!"

Upon seeing the token, the leading inner disciple examined it and raised an eyebrow, revealing a hint of envy.

Of course, this is only a slight difference; an inner disciple like him is not quite like Bai Dingzhong.

"Senior brother, you flatter me. By the way, where do I go to pick up the mission?"

Li Yunjing said politely and continued to ask.

“Follow the long corridor for about a mile, and you’ll reach the ‘Palace of Ten Thousand Scrolls.’ Go inside and find the steward there.”

This inner disciple gave Li Yunjing some pointers.

After thanking him, Li Yunjing entered the gate and followed a long corridor toward the "Ten Thousand Scrolls Palace" to the east.

Along the way, many disciples went in and out of the "Palace of Ten Thousand Scrolls".

Li Yunjing explained his purpose to the disciple at the door and waited for a quarter of an hour before someone came out and led him into the "Ten Thousand Scrolls Palace".

After walking another mile and passing through two palaces, Li Yunjing arrived at a place called "Yucai Hall".

This palace is located in the third courtyard of the "Ten Thousand Scrolls Palace". The main hall is only a few dozen feet high, and many people are busy inside.

"Disciple Li Yunjing is new here. May I ask..."

Li Yunjing was a little confused, so he asked someone.

"Go there! Steward Wang is in charge of these matters!"

The man seemed very impatient. Without even glancing at Li Yunjing, he pointed and went back to doing his own thing.

"Thank you!"

Li Yunjing responded and glanced at the man, only to see that he was writing furiously, seemingly about some reward and punishment matters of the "Hall of Cultivating Talents".

Following the man's directions, Li Yunjing found Steward Wang in a separate room of the "Yucai Hall".

When Li Yunjing saw this person, he was startled. He had seen quite a few Foundation Establishment Realm deacons, but this person's aura was so ordinary, like a schoolteacher among mortals.

The fact that he couldn't discern the other party's true strength no matter what indicated that Steward Wang's cultivation had reached a point of returning to simplicity.

This demonstrates complete mastery of the Foundation Establishment Realm's power; this person is a formidable figure within the Foundation Establishment Realm!
