The basement was filled with at least a hundred bookshelves, and needless to say, there were even more books on them. However, for many of these books, the paper on them had already started rotting, releasing a foul smell. Even if there were a few that managed to escape the rotting, they were probably torn into shreds by rats or insects.
Xia Fei furrowed his eyebrows. He did not expect the Seaview Tower to look like this. Technically, martial art secret manuals would never be written on normal paper and should have been through a special preservation treatment. The books in the basement were in horrible states, obviously from age and negligence.
The narrow corridor led deeper into the basement. It was not a big room, and it only took Xia Fei ten minutes to explore the entire place.
Xia Fei stopped in his steps and picked up a book that was in a better condition off a bookshelf. Xia Fei almost fainted when he made out the title of the book.
