He asked Bai Geng about the demonic stones.
However, Bai Geng had lived in the Demon Subduing Temple since he was young. He did not know how to earn demonic stones.
Zhao Meng originally wanted to ask Bai Geng who he could ask to find out more about the demonic stones.
However, such a suggestion made Bai Geng shake his head. He told Zhao Meng that the demonic stones were not allowed to be brought into the temple.
As for the reason, Bai Geng could not tell him yet.
Hearing about such a ban, Zhao Meng did not ask further. He could only wait for Qing Xuan to return.
While waiting for Qing Xuan to return, Zhao Meng did not stay idle.
He spent some more time in the library.
Although mathematics was a headache, he still tried his best, hoping to produce some results.
After all, if a person did not work hard, what was the difference between being a salted fish?
As for the result of his efforts…
A few days later, Zhao Meng surrendered and finally ran to the miscellaneous books section.
There were dusty books on history and culture.
He swept away the dust and began to gain a deeper understanding of this world.
This world was very strange.
There was no unified country between humans and demons.
On the human side, there were dozens of countries of various sizes.
There were even more on the demon side. There were tens of thousands of demon tribes in the demon kingdom.
It was understandable that the power of the demon tribes was so fragmented. After all, most of the relationships among the demon tribes were between eating and being eaten. This kind of direct instinctive hatred was difficult to unify.
However, Zhao Meng could not understand why the human race did not form a unified country.
"From the cultivation techniques of this world, the cultivators of this world are extremely smart!
"They have great power and intelligence. It should be easy for them to make a breakthrough in the social system. Why is the human race still like this?!"
Zhao Meng could not figure it out and could only continue reading these miscellaneous anecdotes.
Compared to complicated cultivation techniques, these historical essays were pleasant to read.
As he read, Zhao Meng's understanding of this world continued to deepen.
"Exalted Immortal, Serene Immortal is back!"
At this moment, Zhao Meng was reading a novel called "Transient World***".
This novel comes from a country of the Great Ming in this world. It told the story of a suave scholar who was accepted as the top scholar but was taken into the Emperor's harem.
The reason was that this top scorer was an immortal from the heavens in his previous life.
However, this immortal teased other fairies every day for fun. In order to punish him, such a calamity was set up.
"I didn't expect such a story to exist in this world!
"I wonder if there's such a story in the Ming and Qing Dynasties in my previous life that goes beyond the limits of history!"
"Exalted Immortal!"
Hearing the call behind him, Zhao Meng reluctantly put the book back to its original place.
"Bai Geng, I said I'm not an Exalted Immortal. I'm just an ordinary person!"
Seeing that Bai Geng called him that again, Zhao Meng reminded him helplessly.
Bai Geng acted as if he did not hear him and continued,
"Exalted Serene Immortal is back!"
"He's finally back!"
…
Zhao Meng and Bai Geng left the library.
Under Bai Geng's lead, he headed towards a certain spot in the temple.
Along the way, Bai Geng was still silent. Zhao Meng was used to this.
"By the way, do you know what Exalted Serene Immortal has been busy with these days?"
"I don't know!" Bai Geng shook his head and added, "However, ever since Exalted Immortal came back, many people have come to the temple!"
"Many people are here?"
Zhao Meng wanted to ask more but was interrupted by Bai Geng.
"You'll know when we get there!"
…
"There are indeed a lot of people!"
Zhao Meng followed Bai Geng to a large hall.
In the square in front of the hall, there were a large number of strange existences.
There were two or three people gathered together and discussing something.
There were also strange-looking demons sitting cross-legged on the ground.
There were more women, to be precise, ladies.
Some were dressed gorgeously, some were a little charming, and some were beautiful.
The only regrettable thing was that there were also some old women among these ladies.
The mix of these existences were so odd that Zhao Meng found it strange.
"What are they gathered here for?"
Bai Geng shook his head gently and said, "I'm not sure either. I only heard from my senior brothers and junior brothers that Exalted Immortal has brought some treasures. These people should be here to seek treasures!"
"Seek treasures!"
Bai Geng's words confused Zhao Meng even more.
At this moment, a woman in gorgeous clothes walked out of the hall crying.
This woman was dressed in a phoenix cloak and had a red vermilion crown on her head. Just from her dressing, one could tell that her identity was not ordinary.
However, even so, despite her identity, she could only cry in the Demon Subduing Temple.
With the appearance of the woman, some discussions appeared in the square in front of the hall.
"I can't believe she didn't get it either!"
"This is incredible!"
"Shh! Don't talk about it."
Zhao Meng was filled with curiosity as he watched the woman leave.
"Exalted Immortal invites you in!"
"Understood!"
Under Bai Geng's lead, Zhao Meng walked towards the main hall.
Along the way, the people and demons in the square in front of the hall looked at him.
If it were any other occasion, perhaps someone would urge some cannon fodder to block Zhao Meng's path and test him.
However, this was the Demon Subduing Temple. All the humans and the demons could only watch as Zhao Meng entered the hall amidst the discussion.
Although they could not do anything, these people had already remembered Zhao Meng's appearance…
…
He had just entered the hall.
Zhao Meng heard someone talking non-stop.
"Junior Brother, look! At this rate, won't my Demon Subduing Temple become the Child-Seeking Temple?!"
"In my opinion, it's better to give it to that person as soon as possible!"
"Why don't you agree? Didn't we agree on this before?"
"Forget it. You're the one who snatched this thing, so I can't say anything. I'll leave it to you to handle this!"
Zhao Meng felt a cool breeze float out of the hall before the entire hall returned to calm.
Under Bai Geng's lead, Zhao Meng finally saw Qing Xuan.
As usual, Qing Xuan wore a simple Taoist robe and looked serious.
However, Zhao Meng noticed that Qing Xuan seemed to be a little tired.
"You're here!" A faint voice sounded in Zhao Meng's ear.
"Exalted Serene Immortal!"
"You'd better call me Priest Qing Xuan!"
"Yes!"
"Have you been to the library! Are you willing to learn cultivation techniques?"
"This…" Zhao Meng hesitated.
It would have to depend on which cultivation technique it was.
If he could obtain a cultivation technique, where he could just lie down, no, sit cross-legged, and by breathing…, absorbing the spiritual energy in the air, obtain extraordinary power, and when another bottleneck is encountered, he could pick some flowers and plants in the natural world, refine them into medicinal pills, laugh a few times and break through after eating the medicinal pills, then who would not want to cultivate?
Zhao Meng also wanted to cultivate to be such an immortal. The cultivation he imagined was also like this.
However, the cultivation in this world was not what he imagined.
