chapter 9

Yue Ge spent six days in a row in the Book Depository.

There are 999 bookshelves on the ground floor of the Cave Ming Academy's Book Depository, half of which are used to display biographies of famous people from the continent. Heroes and beauties, good and evil, those who were kings and sycophants ... all their lives were put on thin pages, and they were judged by future generations.

After reading the biography of Immortal Emperor Wu Yue all the way through, she closed the book, let out a long sigh and rubbed her temples.

Immortal Emperor Wu Yue was the founder of the continent's first clan, the youngest Immortal Emperor record holder, proficient in formations and a master of weapon making.

Such an immortal, whose name was passed down through the ages, was mysteriously under-recorded.

There are only two biographies dedicated to him, and they are so fake that they look like heroic epic templates. If you want to read about his other deeds, you have to go to the biographies of his contemporaries ... and there is no guarantee of their authenticity.

For example, in this booklet, Immortal Wu Yue is still fighting a jealousy battle with the beauty snake's senior brother over a famous beauty snake, while in another booklet, it is written that Immortal Wu Yue is obsessed with the brother's unrequited desire.

There is talk of Immortal Wu Yue being raised by a spirit ape, of his smithing from a reclusive old man with a red beard, and of him having died once and being resurrected by a confidante in exchange for his life ...

It's more like a talking book than a biography. Never mind, let's pretend that anything is possible in the metaphysical world -

But using lost hair to create offspring and then borrowing their bodies to be reborn is too much of a trick!!!

The more she thought about it, the more she listed the things that seemed plausible, and the more she looked at it, the more it looked like her brother.

Look at the last chapter of the biography again ...

The Immortal Djinn of Wu Yue who died young, dead in full view of the public, and the Soul Surrender Technique could not find even a trace of his soul.

But it was dragging the ghost emperor of the invading human race to the same death, a death well deserved and remembered.

Yue Ge double clenched tightly together.

If ... if he is really Yue Wu ...

What if it really was Yue Wu who traveled back 10,000 years ago? He died on the battlefield before the main line of the novel began, his bones untouched?

Then did he return to real life, or had he already-

"Yue Ge."

The familiar biting cold aura came closer, eventually stopping behind her.

Yue Ge was busy collecting her thoughts, looking back at Zhu Yu and smiling, "Congratulations on coming out of the gate."

When she saw that Zhu Yu was still wearing the same robe he had worn during the retreat, she said kindly, "You've only just left the retreat and you've come looking for me. Don't worry, I haven't even touched it, I'm waiting for you to come out."

A few days ago, Zhu Yu had taken Yue Ge on a hunting trip to a training ground near the academy, where he had hunted a demonic beast whose meat was said to be smooth and tasty: the Bi Arc Snake.

The snake's soup with the cup was the most delicious food that no one could refuse. When Zhu Yu returned to his home, he faced a breakthrough and had to close down. Before she left, she was afraid that Yue Ge would forget and reminded her to eat the snake soup when she came out of seclusion.

However, Zhu Yu, for the first time, did not care about the food, but was silent for a moment and whispered as if to himself, "You are not happy," there was a pause. "Is it because of me?"

Yue Ge didn't really expect her to say that, and for a moment he showed a bewildered expression, and his smile stiffened slightly. Looking at Zhu Yu's eyes, it was interpreted as ... Yue Ge was indeed angry, because of herself.

"Because I said before I closed the door to use the Bi Arc soup?" Zhu Yu pondered seriously. "You can eat it yourself, just leave some with me."

The same clan knew the same clan best, and Zhu Yu felt sure that if someone stopped her from eating, she would be angry. The same was naturally true of Asura's Yue Ge.

Zhu Yu thought, "I didn't mean to stop her from eating, if Yue Ge wanted to eat, she could just eat it and leave some for herself, and she could catch some for herself. ... She was not the kind of Asura who would do anything for a delicious meal.

So Zhu Yu said sincerely, "If your heart is not happy, just eat all the Bi Arc snakes."

"..."

Yue Ge cried and laughed, and thought that such Zhu Yu was a bit cute. She was busy explaining, "No, I am indeed in a bad mood, not because of this ..."

Zhu Yu stood still, disbelief written in the strands of his hair.

Yue Ge showed her the biography of the Immortal Dignitary again and explained that she was fine these days and not upset, before finally convincing Zhu Yu that she was only lamenting for Immortal Dignitary Wu Yue and not sulking over a bowl of Bi Arc soup.

"Let's go back, then." Yue Ge breathed a sigh of relief and smiled impeccably once again. "I've prepared a good Red Heart brew, just the thing to eat with the Bi Arc soup. And ... I have something to give you."

Zhu Yu nodded back, "Good."

Yue Ge put all the biographies back on the bookshelf and the two went away together.

The moment the door to the Book Depository closed, sporadic whispers rang out.

"That's the top student of the declination year, Miss Zhu Yu!"

"Strange that Senior Sister Zhu would come to the ground floor of the Book Depository ... According to her cultivation level, shouldn't she go above the floor?"

"The one who has been sitting over there is last year's leader, called Yue Ge. I don't know what I'm doing reading those biographies, sitting there for days on end. ..."

More people chose to spread the word - how could such gossip be said openly? Who knows which gossip has upset the big boys. One mistake and no one cares if they lose their lives.

"The rumours are indeed true, Senior Zhu and Yue Ge are very close. Don't they still live in the same courtyard?"

"Not at all! I heard from a girl in my class that they are very close..."

"That's right, they're unmarried, of course they're not!"

"What? They're mirror sharpeners?"

"You just found out, you're so behind on your news."

"What a pity, two nice girls ..."

"What kind of talk is that! Even if they don't like girls, they can't look at you. What happened to the grinding mirror, ate your family spirit rice?"

"I ... just said that casually! What's so serious about it ..."

... Originally, not many people believed the gossip circulating in the academy that the two leaders were a pair of grinding mirrors. But now, at least these people in the Book Depository believe it...

Who had ever seen such a pleasant appearance from Sister Zhu? Even her icy aura wasn't so bitingly cold anymore!

Even if it's not a mirror grinding, she and Yue Ge must be extremely intimate ...

------

In the Cold Moon Residence.

"Take a look, can you use these?" Yue Ge took out the pieces of ice belongings that she had picked out in the Martial Battleaxe Immortal Inheritance Boundary. "Something that I got by coincidence ... as a reward for you taking me in."

The most important thing is that you have to be able to get a good idea of what you're doing.

Zhu Yu listened quietly, feeling Yue Ge's trust, his eyes softened slightly: "All of them are useful, thank you."

One of the treasures, a "snow-drenched garment", is a rare spiritual plant, the leaves and flowers of which are useful and may even give rise to spiritual intelligence if properly nurtured.

An ice-striped elixir, called the Hundred Revolutions Moon Pill, can be used by both water and ice cultivators, and can be taken during cultivation to enhance understanding of the paths they practice.

There was also a frost-coloured longsword, simple in style and without any ornate patterns. But there was a reason why Yue Ge chose it - Immortal Emperor Wu Yue was probably bitter about colour matching, the colours of most spirit weapons were miserable ...

Only this sword, probably carved from a whole block of frost-colored material, had a transparent colour without a trace of miscellaneous colours, and only a crystal very much like a white moonstone was embedded in the hilt of the sword.

When you look closely, you will find extremely light traces of formations on the body of the sword, more like simple decoration than formations, and much more aesthetically pleasing than the rest of the Immortal's work.

Although Yue Ge had not mentioned the limit on the number of treasures he could choose, Zhu Yu had guessed at this.

In the path of cultivation, fate could not be found, and it was rare for Yue Ge to think of himself ... when choosing his treasures.

"Does this spirit sword require a blood recognition or something?" Yue Ge asked curiously.

Zhu Yu fed his aura into the sword and said, "No, just engrave the divine sense seal." Then he pondered, "However, it would be good to embrace it with blood."

Yue Ge watched as Zhu Yu branded the divine sense mark onto the spirit sword, forming a very inconspicuous moon-white diamond-shaped mark.

"This sword, let's name it Moon by Moon." Zhu Yu said flatly. At the same time, the blade of the spirit sword flashed a cold light, as if in response.

Moon by Moon, Zhu Yue ...

The smile in Yue Ge's eyes was also a little more genuine.

The six treasures that Zhu Yu has seen and knows so much about and has such a rich heritage that Yue Ge also took out her own six treasures and listened to her explanation.

The moment Zhu Yu saw these treasures, he blurted out the names in a metaphysical style.

"Thousands of silk gold, absorb it, it will be of great benefit to you."

"Swallowed gold bone, it can be used as a smelter for your own body, rare."

"Starfall Pill, you can use it after some time."

"Pan Long Dew, it can be used for serious injuries."

"The two spirit weapons are also both suitable for use ..."

Zhu Yu finished in one breath, and seeing that Yue Ge was listening seriously, she said solemnly, "You should read more ancient books, spirit plants and demon beasts, heavenly materials and treasures, pills and spiritual weapons, you should know something about them all."

She pondered for a moment, and with a wave of her sleeve, a large pile of books appeared in front of her, both thick and thin, at least hundreds of books.

"In your spare time, read these." Zhu Yu was bashful and relaxed, as if he didn't see Yue Ge's instantly bitter expression at all. "What's more, you also practice the Way of Weaponry, so you should enrich yourself and thicken your base. If you want to know more after reading it, you can go to the Book Depository and look for it."

Yue Ge put the books away and smiled bitterly, "Understood."

So, don't think that cultivating in the Xuanfang world is any better than having to memorise lessons and remember formulas.

As a cultivator, you had to memorise the characteristics, habits and weaknesses of spiritual plants and demonic beasts, as well as the characteristics and effects of elixirs and spiritual weapons, and even the names, looks and preferences of the great powers of the day. If you also took Medicine and Weaponry Formation and Spiritual Talisman, you had to remember even more - even harder than studying medicine, physics and chemistry at the same time.

In school, if you can't remember the formulas and words, you'll be lectured by your teacher, nagged by your parents, and beaten up if you're angry.

But in the metaphysical world, not being able to remember these things can be fatal! One never knows if a little bit of extra knowledge will save your life one day.

Yue Ge sighed.

Luckily, she had a good memory, she couldn't forget everything like the protagonist, but after reading it twice, she could still remember it.

Of course, it was the same old saying: hard work makes up for bad luck.

When Zhu Yu saw her staring blankly, he reminded her, "Claim your master."

Yue Ge collected her mind and engraved the brand of divine sense on a metallic spiritual weapon. It was a set of glittering white beads strung together, and from the looks of it, one could not imagine how ferocious it was.

When using it, all one needs to do is to move one's mind and the beads will fly out in full. Once they touch the flesh, thousands of sharp golden threads wreak havoc along the veins and meridians, using the human body as the soil to create beautiful golden flowers.

It looks small and delicate, harmless to the extreme, but has such a horrible paragraph ...

Yue Ge: I like it a lot :-d

A gentle, soft and gentle girl in a blue dress, not wearing armour or carrying a sword, just a string of beaded chains wrapped around her wrist - who would have thought that this was a Golden Spirit Root cultivator known for her strong attack power?

A very common term in mystery novels is to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, so it's perfectly fine to pretend to be a white rabbit and take advantage of a tiger, right?
