Chisongzi nodded slightly, then walked towards the alchemy room.

Yunxuan and Yuxuan looked at each other, were overjoyed, and immediately followed.

......

The next morning, the sunlight shone through the window and fell on the bed.

"Uncle Master! Han Fei wants to see you!"

In his dream, Bai Yuan actually heard Han Fei calling him.

There was a man other than him in the dream. This was definitely a nightmare!

Bai Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, sat up, looked at the sparkling sea outside the window, and was stunned for a moment.

It turned out that it was already dawn.

He breathed a sigh of relief: "Luckily I woke up early! But why did I dream about Han Fei?"

"Uncle Master! Han Fei wants to see you!"

Outside the yard, Han Fei bowed and saluted while shouting loudly.

When Bai Yuan heard this familiar voice, his expression changed slightly.

"It's not a dream!"

Only then did he realize that it was Han Fei who woke him up!

Bai Yuan hurriedly put on his clothes and walked out yawning. He saw Ning Yan also frowning with a hint of displeasure on her face.

"Han Fei, why are you here so early?"

Feeling the resentment from Bai Yuan, Han Fei smiled bitterly.

"Uncle Master, I am here because of the teacher's order."

Han Fei had a bitter face. He was cheated out of a meal when he came to see Bai Yuan yesterday. If it weren't for Xun Kuang's order, he wouldn't have wanted to come.

"Brother Xun, what do you want from me?"

"It's like this, Uncle Master, aren't you here to study at Confucianism? The teacher asked me to take you to the library early today to let you read some Confucian classics."

After hearing this, Bai Yuan nodded slightly. It turned out that he came here for this matter.

"Okay, come in and wait for a moment, I'll wash up."

Without Bai Yuan's instructions, Ning Yan went to get him some water when she heard that he wanted to wash up.

After a while, Bai Yuan came out after washing up.

Before they left, Bai Yuan suddenly thought of something and turned around to say to Ning Yan, "If you feel bored staying here, go out for a walk. If you see anything you want, write it down and tell me. I'll take you to buy it another day when I have time."

Han Fei, who was standing by, immediately became alarmed. Next time Bai Yuan went out, he would have to hide away!

Chapter 51 Knowledge is power

On the way to the library, Bai Yuan also completed today's daily draw.

However, when today's entry came out, his expression turned a little strange.

[Knowledge is Power (Purple)]: When you carry any item containing knowledge, you will be protected by the righteous spirit; when you use books as weapons, you will gain the skill of "Gathering Books into Blades". The higher the level of knowledge, the stronger the power. (Note: Books are good things. Opening them can purify your mind, and closing them can purify your enemies.)

This entry is a rare purple entry and has two powerful effects.

Regarding the former effect, Bai Yuan said it was quite normal. The body was protected by the righteous energy and could be immune to all evil.

But what the hell is this thing called "Gathering Books into Blades"?

He knew about the Yin-Yang School's gathering of energy into blades, but if the Yin-Yang School got to know about this name of the skill, would they come to him for help?

At this moment, Bai Yuan looked up at the tall library in front of him, wondering if this entry was too targeted.

If it were given to Confucian disciples, wouldn't it take only a few minutes to train a sword master?

After thinking about it, Bai Yuan silently loaded this entry for himself. After all, it was purple and it would be of great use to him.

Following Han Fei into the library, Bai Yuan was shocked by the vast sea of ​​books there.

He had long heard that the Confucian library here contained tens of thousands of books, including not only Confucian classics but also many masterpieces from various schools of thought.

After all, when the Jixia Academy was in existence, there were hundreds of schools of thought and a number of works emerged, such as "Songzi", "Tianzi", "Wozi", "Guanzi", "Yanzi Chunqiu", "Sima Fa" and so on.

Confucians basically have all of these books, some of which are first-hand originals, while others are copied by later generations.

The collection of books here is the largest one Bai Yuan has ever seen in his life.

At this time, there were some other disciples in the library who were borrowing books. They were holding the bamboo slips and reading quietly.

Most of the books here cannot be taken out and can only be read here.

Han Fei said something to Bai Yuan, and then went to find the book he wanted to read.

After he left, Bai Yuan started walking around here by himself.

Walking to the bookshelf closest to him, Bai Yuan picked up a scroll of bamboo slips and weighed it in his hand.

Then he had a special feeling in his heart, as if he had really mastered the skill of turning books into blades.

As soon as he thought about it, the bamboo slips around him began to tremble, as if they were being guided by something.

The noise was so loud that it immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding Confucian disciples, and Bai Yuan was so scared that he stopped immediately.

He almost became the first person to be kicked out of Xiaoshengxianzhuang after living there for just one day.

These books are the treasures of Confucianism. If he messes with them, the Confucianists will definitely kill him.

Temporarily suppressing the desire to try, Bai Yuan opened the bamboo slips and began to read.

He didn't care what book he had, he just read it first.

Anyway, the task given to him by Chisongzi was to see more things, and it would be best if he saw everything and brought it back to Taoism.

Possessing the ability of "Quantum Speed ​​Reading", he can read books incredibly fast.

If it wasn't for the need to pretend and not make it too shocking, Bai Yuan wouldn't even want to open the bamboo slips.

I casually flipped through it, and it only took a few minutes to finish reading the entire scroll of bamboo slips. The content, artistic conception, etc. were deeply engraved in my mind.

After rolling up the bamboo slips and putting them back, Bai Yuan picked up the next scroll and started reading.

Then the Confucian disciples in the library discovered a very strange phenomenon. Bai Yuan would pick up a bamboo slip, read it for a few seconds, and then put it back. This cycle repeated over and over again. In one morning, they watched Bai Yuan flip through all the bamboo slips on the first floor.

This behavior seemed extremely strange to the Confucian disciples. In their eyes, Bai Yuan didn't seem to be here to study, but more like a person who came to play.

Moreover, his behavior of constantly taking and putting books away seriously affected their reading experience. However, since Bai Yuan was a distinguished guest of Confucianism, they could not say anything.

After “reading” a whole morning, Bai Yuan felt his head was a little swollen.

[Quantum Speed ​​Reading] can only help him read quickly, understand and remember the contents of the book, but remembering too many things at once consumes a lot of brain power.

Bai Yuan rubbed his temples to relieve his fatigue.

“That’s it for today!”

He had seen a lot this morning and was ready to take a break in the afternoon.

He put the bamboo slips in his hand back, put them in order, and then Bai Yuan went back.

When he returned to his residence, he found Ningyan sitting in the room staring at the sea in a daze, her whole body exuding an extremely confused aura.

Bai Yuan couldn't help but start thinking whether he should find something for her to do.

Although Ningyan was nominally his maid, in reality he usually just asked her to fetch water and pour tea for him, so most of the time she had nothing to do.

Hearing the footsteps, Ningyan looked back and found it was Bai Yuan, then she turned her head back to look at the sea.

"Why don't you go for a walk in the street?"

"I don't want to go."

Ningyan shook her head slightly, her eyes fixed on the sea in the distance.

Bai Yuan sighed.

"Have you ever felt like you don't know what to do lately?"

Ningyan fell silent after hearing his words.

Because he was right.

After escaping from the web, she no longer had to carry out the mission that seemed to have no end, but she was used to being arranged, and for a moment she could not find the direction for the future.

She has no hobbies of her own, maybe practicing sword is one, but now she doesn't use the sword anymore.

Apart from this, she has absolutely no other interests or hobbies.

Seeing her reaction, Bai Yuan confirmed his guess.

"Since you don't have any ideas, why don't you learn to cook from me first?"

"Cook?"

Ningyan was suddenly confused.

"That's right. I'm afraid we'll have to stay in Sanghai for a while. I don't usually have time to cook. I don't really like the food prepared by Xiaoshengxian Manor, and I can't afford it if I eat out every day. So why don't I teach you, and then you cook for me, so that I can have three meals a day."

The more Bai Yuan thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

But Ningyan was a little hesitant. It was no problem to ask her to cook, but could Bai Yuan's method be taught to others?

After all, this was not the first or second time she had seen Bai Yuan cook. From Daliang to Sanghai, Bai Yuan was the one who cooked all the way.

His cooking method is no different from anyone else's.

Bai Yuan also saw Ning Yan's doubts, so he immediately spent some fragments to materialize some white quality recipes.

He knew from the fact that he could materialize this from the pill recipe before that as long as the skills were recorded by the system, they could be materialized and then taught to others.

White quality recipes also cost 10 fragments each.

However, the recipes are not as valuable as the pill recipes. After all, only food of at least green quality will have some special effects.

Chapter 52: No blushing face, no heartbeat

Ningyan saw Bai Yuan take out a scroll from somewhere, and her eyes became even more confused.

Bai Yuan held the recipe scroll with a faint smile on his face: "Do you know why I can make such delicious meals?"

"Why?"

Ningyan asked subconsciously.

"Of course it's because of this!" Bai Yuan shook the scroll in his hand. "This is a recipe book I got by chance. It contains many dishes. The most important thing is that it contains a special artistic conception that can make people's cooking skills improve by leaps and bounds. I learned my cooking skills from it."

Ningyan was stunned for a moment after hearing this. She realized that the recipe book in Bai Yuan's hand was not simple.

In her impression, everything that can be associated with the word "artistic conception" are all classic secret manuals of various sects. Ordinary books, scrolls, etc. are not worthy of the use of these two words at all.

Bai Yuan took her hand and handed the scroll to her.

"I'll leave this recipe to you!"

Seeing how serious he looked, people who didn't know would have thought that he was giving Ningyan some secret martial arts book.

Ningyan took the scroll and nodded slightly. Whether it was really as magical as Bai Yuan said, she would know after she learned it.

"I'll learn it as soon as possible."

"Well, I'm sure you have no problem with that."

The recipes Bai Yuan gave were very easy to learn, and cooking was not as troublesome as refining pills, so there was no entry threshold.

The ingredients for these dishes are all relatively common, and most of them don’t require much effort to make.

goo~

At this moment, Bai Yuan's stomach suddenly growled.

"I've been reading for the whole morning and I haven't eaten yet. Judging from your appearance, you probably haven't eaten either, right?"

"No."

Ningyan shook her head slightly. She had been sitting here in a daze for the whole morning, so it was impossible for her to eat.
