Library

A library was the most important place in a sect.

This was because book collections represented a sect's inheritance, so any sect that wanted to prosper for a long time must pay attention to their inheritance. Only by bringing up talents in every generation could a sect maintain the most powerful status.

Therefore, when Yuqi the Venerable One gave Ou Yangming his permission to enter the library, even the young fellow suspected if he heard it wrongly.

Nonetheless, the Venerable One's word was fulfilled very quickly.

After Yuqi the Venerable One and the old macaque left, a close acquaintance approached Ou Yangming. It was Bai Zhiyi, who admired his smithing art very much.

In terms of outer appearance only, Bai Zhiyi seemed to be much older than Yuqi the Venerable One, but a cultivator's age must not be judged from one's appearance only.
