Chapter 17. new books

Xua Yan had finally shifted his focus away from the mysterious egg on the table and towards two more books floating nearby. The first book was entitled "Understanding Materials and the Art of Forging Spirit Weapons" and the second was "Inscription Concept of Creation and its Geometry". He decided to start with the first book on forging, as he had no prior knowledge on what inscription was.

But first he drank the spirit water from the nearby pond and rested for sometime. By doing this he was completely able to fix his headache which he got earlier in the library due to overuse of his soul power. And after that he took a proper look at both of the books, page by page. He only looked at them because he knew that he would be able to make a copy of these books in his memory using the library he got inside of the entropy. After completing going through all the pages from both of the books he finally put down both books and headed towards the door that leads to the library dimensions of the entropy.

After he got inside of the library he found two more books inside of it in the Useful section of the library. And then he started to read about the book that was about forging because he had some prior knowledge of forging from his past life and wanted to know what type of knowledge he would get into this book that he got from Entropy. The moment he touched the book the automatically started to float and opened itself after that it startled projecting its content in a hologram but this time he found only one hologram that was showing a complete perfect version of knowledge that he needed to know. But as he continued and when he learned something wrong about the concept that was showing in the hologram. He found out that the library automatically starts showing another hologram in which it was telling him what he just learned wrong and what is the correct version of it.

As he delved into the book, he discovered that, just like the other books in the library, his access to it was limited by his current strength. The more he increased his strength, the more knowledge he would unlock from these books. Xua Yan was determined to improve and see what will be special about this book that he got from Entropy, so he began reading about the various materials used in forging spirit weapons and their properties.

This book contained various details on how to forge different types of spirit weapons with the use of various materials. He found out that the material was the most important aspect of forging a spirit weapon. If the material was not of high quality, then the weapon would not be as strong and durable.

As Xua Yan read through the book, he learned about the different types of materials that could be used for forging spirit weapons. Some of the most common materials used for this purpose were iron, copper, gold, etc but they need to be combined with spirit stones, spirit crystals, spirit metals and spirit woods according to the method described inside of the book. Each of these methods had its own unique properties, which made it suitable for different types of weapons.

For example, methods in which spirit stones were used can be known for their hardness and durability, making them ideal for forging heavy weapons like hammers and maces. On the other hand, spirit crystals were known for their sharpness, which made them perfect for forging blades and swords. Spirit metals, on the other hand, were known for their flexibility and strength, making them ideal for forging weapons like spears and tridents. When these spirit materials gets combined with normal material, the user with a strong soul and with the use of spirit energy can make them as a part of their body and use them according to their will. And after the nourishment from the soul power from the user the weapon will also become sentient and able to gain the ability to fight on their own and also use various materials to cultivate themselves.

The book also contained information on the process of forging sprit weapons. Xua Yan learned that the process of forging was not as simple as just melting the materials and shaping them into weapons. There was a lot of precision and skill involved in the process, and it was important to have a good understanding of the materials being used and their properties.

He spent two days reading and practicing the martial arts techniques mentioned in the book through which he will be able to make himself ready for the process of forging and also improve his strength. He was amazed at how much he was able to learn in such a short time, a testament to the efficacy of the library. One of the most important things that Xua Yan learned from the book was that the forge master's soul power was an essential factor in the process of forging spirit weapons. The forge master's soul power would determine the quality of the weapon and also the speed at which it could be forged.

As Xua Yan read through the book, he realized that there was still a lot for him to learn about forging spirit weapons. But he was excited about the new knowledge and skills he was gaining and was determined to continue learning and practicing until he was able to create the best spirit weapons possible. As he was lost in looking at hologram projection and completely immersed in learning his head again started to hurt. He knew that he had used the maximum power that his soul can provide him in his learning. He knew that this was the time to get out of the library. After he exited the library relm inside the Entropy and got below the tree near the pond. He first got near the pond to drink water and rested for sometime. This helped him release his fatigue. Xua Yan knew that he needed to find a way to increase his soul power in order to use the library for a longer time and if he wanted to forge spirit weapons described in that book he was reading earlier.

After he felt relieved from his headache, he felt hungry because he had not eaten anything for two full days because he was completely immersed in exploring the new changes inside of Entropy.Eventually, Xua Yan decided that it was time to take a break from his studies and step out of the Entropy to check on the traps.

After leaving the mysterious and magical place called Entropy, Xua Yan decided to check on the traps he had set up earlier. The purpose of these traps was to catch small animals for food. To his surprise, he found that a few of the traps had caught some animals. Instead of releasing them, he thought about using them as a source of food for himself. He carefully brought the animals back to his shelter and started the process of cooking them.

Xua Yan was quite proficient in cooking and was able to prepare a delicious meal with the small animals he had caught. The aroma of the food was enticing and made his mouth water. As he sat down to eat, he couldn't help but feel grateful for the food in front of him. He savored each bite, enjoying the taste and texture of the food. The hunger that he had been feeling was now satiated, but these small animals were not enough for Xua Yan to completely fill and satisfy his hunger after the increase in his strength.

After eating the food he had made, Xua Yan decided to go into the forest to hunt a spirit beast at the energy gathering level. It was the time of the morning and according to Xua Yan's observation in this area many small as well as stronger beasts go near the river in order to drink water from it. He knew that if he needed to hunt a beast with a specific strength he needed to move alongside the river so that he could find the specific beast with specific strength that he was looking for, and also avoid the stronger beast that might be able to harm him.

He walked along the river, enjoying the peace and serenity of his surroundings. As he walked, he came across a group of young people who were huddled together, studying a map in their hands. There were two females and three males in the group, and they appeared to be searching for something. Xua Yan felt curious about their activities and decided to follow them, keeping a safe distance so as not to draw their attention.

As he followed the group, he noticed that they were exploring the forest and its surrounding area, taking notes and marking certain spots on the map. Xua Yan couldn't help but wonder what they were up to and what they were looking for. He continued to follow them, keeping a watchful eye and remaining alert in case they spotted him. Despite his caution, he felt drawn to these young people and was curious to find out more about their mission.

As he followed them deeper into the forest, he noticed that they were making their way towards a dense area where the trees grew tall and the undergrowth was thick. He wondered if they were searching for a particular spirit beast, or if they were mapping the forest for some other reason. Regardless of their intentions, Xua Yan decided to keep following them, hoping that he would uncover the mystery behind their activities.

Eventually, the group of young people stopped at a spot that appeared to be of great significance. They gathered around a large rock formation and began to study the map more closely. Xua Yan inched closer, trying to get a better view of what was going on. As he approached, he heard snippets of their conversation and realized that they were searching for a precious herb.

Xua Yan was intrigued by this revelation and felt drawn to the group even more because no one in their right mind will come to this part of the jungle if there is nothing precious, and if they are searching for that herb in this area then that herb might be precious. However he stopped overthinking and simply decided to remain hidden for the time being, observing their actions and gathering information. He knew that he had to be cautious, as he didn't know if the herb was guarded by any powerful spirit beasts or if it was protected by any other dangers. Because according to the legend his previous owner of his body had heard, the precious herbs and treasures are generally protected by strong spirit beasts. And there are many stories in which people have been killed by those beasts even if they stay far away from that territory.

After some searching around Xue Yan finally noticed that they eventually came across a dark cave and entered it, with two members of the group staying outside to stand guard. The entrance of the cave appeared ominous, shrouded in shadows and giving off a foreboding aura. Xua Yan was intrigued by the behavior of the young people and wondered what they could possibly be searching for inside the cave. He continued to observe from a distance, keeping himself hidden as he wondered what kind of danger they might face. The two guards at the entrance of the cave seemed alert and ready for any threats, but the darkness of the cave made it difficult to see what was inside. Xua Yan was curious about what lay ahead, but he also knew that it was best to proceed with caution, especially since he didn't know what kind of dangers he might face.
