Although she wanted to help the other person solve the problem and contribute her strength, Keqing, as a person who values efficiency, knew very well that only by understanding could one be clear, and only by being clear could one take action and formulate strategies.
Thinking carefully, she realized that she was originally a stranger in a foreign land. She didn't know much about the senior sister, this sect, or this world. She even had almost no common sense. So it seemed a bit redundant for her to offer help, so she gave up the idea.
Because the other party did not restrict her behavior, and with the guidance of her junior sister, Keqing did not waste time. Instead, she walked around from time to time, while inquiring and understanding some common sense of this world.
Gradually, she knew more and had a clearer understanding of the world. However, this was not enough. What she learned from other people was always not comprehensive enough to give her a deep understanding of her current environment.
"Um, can I ask you a favor?"
Once, when the junior sister was excitedly talking about the gossip within the sect, Keqing interrupted softly.
"Um, Senior, is there anything I can help you with?"
Mingyan tilted her head in confusion.
"I want to know something..."
Keqing took the opportunity to express her desire to gain more knowledge and asked if she could go to the library to read. Although the third and fourth floors of the library were only for disciples to read, the higher the level, the higher the skills required, and even required contribution points.
But she remembered Ming Yan had introduced to her when she was taking her on a tour, that reading on the first floor of the library did not require contribution points, and that all that was there was basic knowledge of the world of immortal cultivation, which was very helpful for her current situation. Perhaps, she could find a way to return home there.
Of course, this idea did not come up randomly, but was only said when there was a great deal of certainty that the other party would agree to it.
I don't know why I broke into the sect despite my unknown origins, but the other party didn't pursue the matter and even arranged accommodation for me.
But Keqing could relate to the kindness and magnanimity in the gesture. Although she didn't know what the other party wanted from her, that was enough. Her intuition told her that there was no hidden danger.
Sure enough, Ming Yan smiled brightly and agreed readily.
"So that's what it is. Of course, no problem. You are a guest of Xuan Lei Sect, and you helped us to solve the hidden evil cultivator. This is nothing. Anyway, other people are not prohibited from entering the first floor. It's just that all those inside the door are disciples of Xuan Lei Sect."
Mingyan told the disciple in charge of the library, and the matter was easily resolved.
Over the next few days, Keqing traveled back and forth between the library and her accommodation, looking for information about space and summoning arrays. At the same time, she was also eagerly accepting other knowledge of this world.
She read everything, including the encyclopedia of spiritual plants, the mineral atlas, the basic introduction to talismans, etc. With her excellent memory and learning ability, Keqing quickly imprinted everything in her mind. After all, if she couldn't go back temporarily, this knowledge would be what she needed in the future and she never knew when she would be able to use it.
She never does anything in vain and always makes necessary preparations before doing anything.
It was for this reason that everyone who came to the library felt a little respect for this alien cultivator without spiritual roots. Although alien cultivators themselves did not have a very high status in the world of immortal cultivation and people in the world were prejudiced against them, no one would laugh at a hard-working alien cultivator or a hard-working person.
As the saying goes, if you don't have enough talent, you can make up for it with hard work. Even spiritual practice is mostly
Most of us are not talented, so what qualifications and confidence do we have to be proud?
At this moment, a sense of urgency began to spread throughout the library, and a subtle desire for comparison began to spread.
"The other cultivators are working so hard, why shouldn't we work hard? There's no reason why we can't be better than others."
"Yes, I don't have much talent, so I should work harder. I can only practice for a short time every day, so I might as well use the extra time to memorize books. This way, I won't miss out on many resources whether I'm drawing talismans or going out for training in the future."
For a time, the learning atmosphere in the library increased greatly, and some people who had been procrastinating in memorizing also began to work hard. You know, only when you enter the Jindan stage will your memory be greatly improved, and below the Jindan stage, your memory is what it should be.
For this reason, many people with low cultivation often miss certain minerals, fail to recognize certain spiritual plants, etc. This is why even they have to come to the library to borrow books frequently.
However, now, for some reason, they suddenly didn't want to borrow the book and take it home to read slowly. Instead, they took a book that Keqing was reading and sat not far from her and started reading it.
Moreover, seeing the speed of the practitioners next to them, a sense of urgency prompted them to concentrate more, and the effect of reciting was surprisingly several times better.
This also made several people look happy, but at the same time they were a little unhappy... Damn, why did the alien cultivator read so quickly...
The inexplicable desire to compare made them unwilling to admit defeat and made them more determined not to admit defeat. Keqing knew nothing about all this. She would just leave the library after finishing her reading every day, get up the next morning, practice swordplay a little, and then come back to read the remaining books.
Little did she know that every time she left, the faces of the quiet disciples surrounding her would suddenly fall, with a look of regret on their faces, and they would speed up their reading of the remaining books, some even thinking of not returning to the room until they had finished memorizing them.
As a result, within a few days, a group of disciples had dark circles under their eyes, looking like they had kidney deficiency as if they had done something at night.
They suspected that the other party most likely did not memorize it at all, but was just flipping through it casually. Otherwise, why was his reading speed so fast? His reading speed was simply not comparable to that of ordinary people.
"Fellow Taoist, please stay..."
On this day, Keqing was about to leave when someone called her from behind.
She turned her head in confusion, only to see a haggard but handsome young man looking at her with burning eyes.
She had some memories of this person. He was one of the disciples who often read books beside her. He was a very hardworking person. Every time he came to the library, he was reading here. But she didn't know why he looked so haggard.
Keqing thought that this person wanted to ask something, but she didn't expect him to suddenly ask.
"Excuse me, what does the third line on page 342 of the Botanical Notes say?"
Keqing raised her brows slightly, as if she understood something.
"The Sky Star Flower is a top-grade spiritual plant. Its petals are light white and shaped like willow leaves. Its rhizomes are hard and light purple to dark green. Its stems and leaves have a delicate fragrance and are covered with fuzz. It is one of the auxiliary materials for refining the Tianyuan Pill and can also be used as a neutralizing medicine for most cold-type pills."
"Then what does page 452 of the mineral catalogue say?"
Keqing answered without even thinking.
"Floor heating stone is a low-grade mineral. It is mostly produced near volcanoes. It is as hard as iron. Its effect..."
Afterwards, the young man asked a few more questions. Not only him, but also the other disciples around him asked questions.
However, no matter how tricky their questions were, the girl in front of them could answer them fluently, and sometimes she could even tell them related parts that were not mentioned in the book.
For example, a certain flower can be used to make talisman paper to increase its properties, and a certain mineral can assist the growth of certain spiritual plants.
Seeing that the other party is not only oppressed by the question, but is also complacent, you can draw inferences from one example to another, and change from being the one being questioned to being the one giving the instruction.
Her calm and relaxed manner of speaking not only left the disciples dumbfounded, but also convinced them unconsciously and began to ask questions seriously. At this time, apart from the questions, the only sound in the library was Keqing's patient and instructive explanations from the simple to the complex.
Outside the library, a beautiful figure appeared with a faint smile.
Chapter 6 System?
After this, the disciples who originally had dissatisfaction with Keqing also had a great change of heart.
I thought the other party was just a cultivator who was attached to the eldest sister. I don't know what means he used to get in touch with the eldest sister, and he was even treated as a distinguished guest. Even the younger sister was confused.
After all, the matter of the evil cultivator had not been widely publicized, and the so-called senior brother was also a relatively famous figure in the sect. The eldest sister announced to the public that the other party had gone out to travel and did not want to cause a commotion, and the younger sister was even more ashamed that she had been deceived, and did not even mention it, which led to no one knowing about the matter.
Keqing's strength is questionable, and coupled with her good looks, such a person is easily misunderstood. After all, there is no shortage of same-sex Taoist couples in the world of cultivation. In order to have a good future, it is not uncommon for women to be on the list.
The strong ones even have four or five concubines around them.
The eldest senior sister is extremely powerful and is a master at alchemy, and outsiders often try to curry favor with her. It is no wonder that many people have some misunderstandings about this.
After the incident at the library, many people had a greatly changed view of Keqing. They also felt the girl's extraordinary efforts and talent for learning from one instance and applying it to other situations. Even the words she said made people feel as if they had suddenly seen something new.
I knew it, how could the eldest sister be easily deceived by outsiders? After all, he is the eldest sister's guest, and the junior sister also respects him. Maybe he really has some outstanding qualities that they don't know about?
After all, how could such a girl with a unique temperament not be attractive, especially since she seems to have a good relationship with the senior sister, and it would be nice to have a lesbian relationship with her.
This also led to the people of Xuan Leimen gradually accepting Keqing's existence, and they came forward to communicate with good intentions. Keqing was also generous with her advice and occasionally gave some guidance, which helped many disciples get good learning methods. Some things they didn't understand suddenly became clear, and her popularity soared.
This behavior also caused the disciples guarding the library to suddenly discover that more and more people came to the library to read books, and it was also much quieter. Compared with the chattering sounds when they walked in before, now as soon as they stepped into the threshold, they could feel an atmosphere of struggle permeating the entire library.
So many people didn't dare to speak loudly and just picked up the book and started reading subconsciously.
The leader of Xuanlei Sect had heard about all this.
"As expected of someone my disciple has chosen, he does have a bit of talent."
She smiled softly and put it out of her mind.
……
However, some people have changed their opinion of Keqing, while others have the opposite opinion. They are prejudiced and firmly believe that strength is everything, and that the other party is just a flatterer.
At this moment, the young man who stopped Keqing from going back was one of them. The boy's name was Jiang Guang. He was one of the eldest senior sister's number one fan, and also one of the only two people with double spiritual roots in Xuan Lei Sect. One was the younger junior sister Ming Yan, who had gold and wood spiritual roots; and the other was Jiang Guang, who had gold and fire spiritual roots.
Keqing was stopped by Jiang Guang. Looking at the many followers behind him, she felt that he was not kind.
"What's up?"
"What? Can't I find you if I don't have any? I heard that you are the rootless cultivator brought back by the senior sister?"
Jiang Guang crossed his arms and looked at him unkindly.
However, Keqing slightly turned sideways and walked around him.
"Wait... why are you leaving? You haven't answered my question yet."
Seeing that Keqing ignored him, Jiang Guang quickly stepped forward and ordered his followers to stop her.
Keqing glanced at Jiang Guang and looked at him seriously.
"Didn't you say everything was fine?"
Jiang Guang choked.
"It's nothing..."
"If you're alright, why can't I leave? I don't know you, and there are so many of you trying to stop me, are you trying to bully me?"
When Keqing said this, her tone was slightly raised, with a scrutinizing look in her eyes.
"of course not!"
Jiang Guang didn't expect the other party to answer like this and was stunned for a moment.
How come they are like bad guys...
No, that's not right! That's not right!
I was clearly trying to warn this guy in front of me not to pay attention to my senior sister, but why did he act like I was bullying him?
"I'm not bullying you. I'm just warning you to stay away from Senior Sister! Don't dream..."
However, before she could finish her words, Keqing suddenly asked back.
"Are you her relative?"
"No."
Jiang Guang was stunned and replied subconsciously.
"Her disciples?"
"I am her dear junior fellow apprentice!"
Jiang Guang said proudly.
"Oh, I see. What's your name?"
"Huh, my name is Jiang Guang, what's wrong?"
Seeing Jiang Guang holding his head high and chest puffed out like a proud rooster, Keqing nodded seriously.
"I see……"
"Really? I'm glad you know. You're smart."
"I'll tell her that you stopped me and told me to stay away from her..."
However, before he could finish his words, Keqing's next words made Jiang Guang's body stiffen.
By the time Jiang Guang reacted, the other party had moved his feet a few times and easily bypassed several people and left.
"Hey, don't you have any guts?"
"Hey, don't go!"
Jiang Guang hurriedly chased after him, but somehow, the other party was getting farther and farther away from him, until his figure disappeared.
For a moment, Jiang Guang felt extremely depressed.
"Damn woman, don't complain!"
"A woman without any balls!"
He stamped his feet violently.
"But women don't have any germs, right?"
The follower at the side answered subconsciously, causing Jiang Guang, who was already unhappy, to glare at him.
"Who the hell do you belong to?"
"Ahahaha, then, we still have to chase after him!"
The follower asked tentatively.
"What are you chasing after! Can't you see anyone? We don't even know where she lives!"
Jiang Guang said this sullenly, but then he thought of something and his eyes rolled.
"Wake up, all of you go away. I can't stop anyone even if I ask you to. I'll find a way myself."
