Hearing that, the boy stopped his steps, turned around slowly before asking with his voice still trembling:
"Do you need anything from me, Mr. Librarian?"
The librarian was silent for a moment, doubting the next words he would say, in the end, a short time later, he let out a deep sigh.
"I suppose that, if you came to me asking for manuals and techniques, then you should already know what you need at the moment, but remember brat, I will lend you the manual and technique you choose for a period of 1 month, whatever you understand in that month is up to you, that's all I can do."
Hearing this, the child was stunned, there was only surprise and disbelief on his face, his empty and watery eyes gradually regained clarity, it took him a couple of minutes to practically return to reality, which, upon realizing it, jumped for joy and shouted with all his might:
"THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MAJOR!"
The librarian, seeing the behavior of the child, felt quite happy, his previous guilt had disappeared just with that thanks, and, although he did not know how much of everything the child asked for, he knew that he did everything possible to help to a boy who had brought some joy to his monotonous life.
"Hmph, brat don't get so cocky, after all you only have 1 month and depending on the cultivation technique or method you choose, fully understanding them can go very easy to impossible."
Like a bucket of cold water, the boy calmed down a bit, although there were still flashes of happiness in his eyes, in his heart he knew and would remember the great favor that the librarian did him, so he decided to make the most of this chance.
"You are right, but I still want to thank you, without you I would have no chance of changing my destiny, from now on, whether I succeed or not will depend entirely on myself."
The librarian, seeing that the boy had finally calmed down, sighed to himself, after all, the boy was right, whether he survived or not, he was totally dependent on him from now on.
"Brat, enough talking and decide first which grow manual you need."
Hearing the librarian ask the question, the boy thought for a moment before answering:
"If it's not too much of a hassle, I'd like you to tell me how many grow manuals you have according to their ranges."
The cultivation manuals, from what the child had read a while ago, were divided into 6 categories:
Human, earth, sky, divine, immortal and ancient, the latter being extremely rare, since they are manuals that could only be found and not searched.
The divine and immortal rank cultivation manuals do not differ much from each other, what differentiates them is that the immortal rank manuals come from an earlier time to later be adapted and suitable for the current cultivation, and the divine rank manuals were created by powers of this era of cultivation. These are intended for the demonic geniuses of a family and who, in addition, have proven that they are loyal to it, geniuses that, in the future, will become the basis of the family, that and that these manuals are considered as the foundation of One family, in the case of the Aegis family, have their own grow manual that matches their bloodline perfectly.
Earth and sky rank cultivation manuals are the most common in Kunlun, generally, lesser families would give their juniors earth rank manuals and if they stood out as geniuses, they would give them a sky rank manual.
Human rank cultivation manuals are most commonly used by most cultivators starting out in the lower realms, where a sky rank cultivation manual is as rare as a divine rank manual, and in Kunlun, hardly any. there is a manual for this range.
So the librarian, hearing the boy's question, laughed scornfully.
"Ha ha ha, brat, you better not spit at the sun if you do not want it to fall on your face, I know your intentions, so to avoid lengthening this, I will tell you that the Aegis family has 9 cultivation manuals of divine rank, hundreds of sky rank and a few thousand earth rank."
The child, upon hearing the first words of the librarian, was a bit embarrassed, the truth was that he wanted to find out if the family had any manuals of old rank, and although apparently they did not have one, he was very surprised to hear the number of manuals that the family kept, the fact that he had 9 divine rank manuals was surprising, after all, each manual amounted to the founding of a new family capable of matching his own, not to mention the number of heaven and earth rank manuals.
"Ha ha ha, it seems that the older one has already caught me, so I will not make a fool of myself anymore, as for the cultivation manual, could you explain what I have to take into account when choosing one?"
The librarian thought for a moment before answering:
"Ummm, well your case is quite special, I would lend you the sky rank manual that the family designates to all the juniors who embark on their cultivation path, but since you no longer possess your bloodline it would be of no use to you."
"Also, I don't know what your elemental affinity is yet, so recommending a manual without knowing it might slow you down rather than help."
The boy decided to put the issue of his bloodline aside, most likely if everything had gone on without that incident, he would have been given the family divine level cultivation manual in the end, but there is no "if" in this world, so he decided to focus on the 2nd thing the librarian mentioned.
"Is there any way to find out more? I had already read in the books about her and I always wondered what my elemental affinity would be, but there are not the right tools here, so I gave up."
"Well actually it would be quite simple if we had an elemental pearl, but it is not the only way, come closer and place your hand on the table."
In fact, the child knew about the elemental pearl, it was a widely used tool even in the lower kingdoms due to its practicality and its availability, the pearl was whitish in color and changed color depending on the elemental affinity that the person who took it. it had, that is, if one's affinity was fire, the pearl would change to a red color, if it is wood to an azure, if it is wind to a green, etc. But due to the fact that there was no such pearl in the mansion, the boy gave up, so hearing the librarian have another method of knowing his elemental affinity, the boy did not hesitate to place his hand on the table in the center of the library (table where he always left the crystals) with great anticipation.
Several minutes passed, but the librarian had not yet given an answer, so the boy, unable to wait any longer, decided to ask:
"And much greater, do you already know what my elemental affinity is?"
The librarian did not answer immediately, which made the boy even more impatient, and just when the boy wanted to ask again, the librarian finally replied:
"Brat, you need to be more patient, I was checking your affinity as I found something quite strange, so it took me a little longer."
Hearing this, the boy became a little worried, so he decided to ask:
"There is nothing wrong with my affinity, right? Or do I have no affinity for any element?"
The librarian, seeing that the boy began to panic, decided to respond quickly
"It's not that brat, calm down, where did all that determination you showed before eh? And yes, you have elemental affinity, it's just that I was a bit surprised."
The boy, hearing the librarian, was a bit embarrassed, but curiosity towards his elemental affinity had only grown, so he asked:
"Then tell me older, what element do I have the greatest affinity for?
Taking a slight pause, the librarian replied:
"In terms of elements, you have a very high affinity for light, followed by thunder and fire."
The boy was very surprised, from what he had read, it was very rare that someone had a double affinity, not to mention 3 affinities, it would mean that for any of the 3 paths he decided to follow, he could progress twice as fast with half the effort.
But soon the boy also noticed something, the librarian had said "in terms of elements", what exactly did he mean by that?
Seeing the doubt on the boy's face that he seemed about to ask, the librarian decided to answer first.
"I know what you are wondering brat, but before I answer you I want to ask you, have you ever been in an isolated space or were you taken before you came here to some place where the laws of space were high?"
Hearing the librarian's question, the boy pondered for a moment before answering:
"No older, since I can remember I was always locked in a room before I got here, so I can only answer no older."
The librarian nodded, as if acknowledging what the boy said, but that only made what he found in the boy weirder.
"*sigh*, in short brat, what I found more in you is what is known as "spatial seed", generally they are formed when a person has been in contact with spatial laws for a long period of time, but to form a more than that is required of these, one's luck must be very good, since there are few who manage to form it in those environments, and basically it is a blessing for you, who want to follow the damage of space, since that seed "creates" an affinity with spatial laws."
Hearing this, the boy began to jump for joy, it seemed that it was his lucky day, not only did he manage to convince the librarian to lend him the manuals and techniques, but he discovered that he had quadruple affinity, so his way in the understanding of the dao would apparently go without much trouble.
The librarian decided to let the child have a bit of fun while he reflected on which cultivation manual would be suitable for him, due to his "quadruple" affinity, he had to look for manuals that fit the child well, and leaving space aside, which Because it is a superior Dao and there are few or no cultivation manuals on it, fire, thunder, or light were the criteria he had to take into account.
So, after searching for a long moment, the librarian chose among the best that he found and spoke to the boy who was still celebrating.
"Very good brat, I already looked through all the manuals in the family and I found 5 that suit you."
Hearing this, the boy quickly collected himself and paid attention to what the librarian was going to say.
