"Zihao! You must hurry up! Else you will lose the opportunity to visit the kingdom's Library" Master Feng urged Lu Zihao.
"Kingdom library? Lu Zihao questioned. In his former life, he was a book enthusiast and that's why he never got entangled with his father's idea of becoming a politician.
"You have to move your lazy butt else I will throw you out in the street!" Master Feng yelled.
"Master Feng! I don't have any items to pack!" Lu Zihao replied.
"I will buy whatever you need at the market! Just hurry up! Master Feng urged him. Lu Zihao stepped out of the room and they both left in a hurry.
After walking several kilometers, they arrived at the palace gate. Master Feng handed his name scroll to the palace guard.
"Chief guard Han pays respect to Master Feng! Please this way!" Chief guard Han welcomed him.
"You are too courteous! Chief Guard Han" Master Feng chuckled.
"Is he the student you told the emperor about? Chief guard Han asked.
"Yes! Master Feng replied.
"The Emperor is expecting you. We must not keep him waiting" Chief Guard Han notified.
They walked through the hallway, before finally stopping at the library.
"Wait! Let me tell the emperor that you are here" Chief Guard Han said but the Emperor called out from inside. "There is no need for formalities! Bring them in! Emperor Mingsheng spoke out from the inside.
"Apothecary Feng pays respect to the Emperor! Master Feng greeted. Apothecaries are held in high esteem in the Tunxi kingdom if not the Emperor would never regard Master Feng highly.
"Apothecary Feng you are being too courteous! You have done so much for our kingdom, so it's right to grant your request" Emperor Ming sheng chuckled as he welcomed them into the library.
Master Feng noticed that Zihao had lost his respectability at the sight of a large number of books in the library, so he sent a telepathic message to Zihao,
"You bandit! Are you trying to ruin my esteem reputation? Hurry up and pay respect to the Emperor" Master Feng scolded him and fakes a smile to keep up his conversation with the Emperor but inside of him, he wanted to smack this mannerless fool to death. Zihao realized the reason why he sent him a telepathic message.
"Junior Zihao pays respect to the Emperor! Zihao greeted precipitously.
"Zihao! Master Feng told me so much about you, did you not remember the kingdom you came from? Emperor Mingsheng questioned.
"Yes, your Majesty! I have tried very hard to remember but I couldn't" Zihao replied.
"With the guidance of Master Feng, you might be a valuable asset to the Tunxi kingdom in the future. Who knows! You might even become a High Master" Emperor Ming sheng entices the young man before him with words to see how humble he is.
"This street thug! Becoming a High master? No way! Master Feng thought to himself and smiled bitterly.
"Your Majesty is thinking too highly of me. How can a low-life like me become a High master" Zihao replied with a humble tone." But what's High Master? Lu Zihao muttered. "It seems that i will have to study hard to keep track of how things work here.
"I heard that you will be part of the freshmen' recruitment at the Academy" Emperor Mingsheng asked.
"Yes your Majesty" Lu Zihao replied.
"Good! Emperor Ming sheng pulled out a bottle of pills from his storage ring. This is a level 2 intermediate-tier Bai Shao energy pill, you can only consume it when you are on the verge of a breakthrough" Emperor Mingsheng advised as he gave Lu Zihao the bottle.
"Your Majesty is too generous! Master Feng greeted the emperor.
"Don't worry Master Feng! Treat it as a token of my support" Emperor Ming sheng casually waves off the praises.
Master Feng turned to Zihao only to discover that the fool was lost trying to figure out what was inside the bottle.
"Hurry up and thank the emperor! Master Feng smacked him on the back of the head.
"Junior Zihao thanks Your Majesty for his benevolence" Zihao bowed before the emperor.
" I will leave you to sort things out with your student. I have other matters to attend to" Emperor Ming sheng chuckled as he vacates the room.
"Master Feng! Can I ask you one thing? Lu Zihao asked.
"No! Don't! I have had enough of your nonsense, you must raise your cultivation and your fighting techniques else don't think of coming back to my house" Master Feng reprimanded him and stormed out of the library.
"I have to start with the fundamental books on cultivation," Lu Zihao said to himself as began to walk around the library, and finally stopped at the spot where fundamental books on cultivation were stocked.
He reaches out to grab one of the books but the book imprints itself into his head, he quickly immerses his consciousness into his head, only to discover that he is standing in the middle of a big fortified vault with a tiny strand intertwined with one another like a stream of network.
The book he touched on was floating in mid-air.
"I have not read this book before, what is it doing inside my head? Lu Zihao became confused. He reached out to touch the book once more but was unable to grasp it no matter how hard he tried.
"Why can't I touch the book? If I can't touch you, then you are of no use to me! This made Lu Zihao furious. "Dissipate! Lu Zihao ordered.
The book dispersed and began to flow into the intertwined strands around the vault and assimilate the knowledge from the book.
"What a heck! This is remarkable! What kind of gift is this?Lu Zihao asked. "An inscriptions appeared before him "HEAVENLY QINGXI MEMORY BOX.
"That's outstanding! Lu Zihao chuckles
At that moment, he felt like going nuts. Having read about legends in the books and how they are blessed with superpowers. Now the heavens have decided to endow him with one.
" I have struck gold this time around! Lu Zihao said to himself, and he returned his
consciousness to his body. He began to touch the books on the shelves and they replicated themselves into the Heavenly Qingxi memory box.
He went over to another bookshelf, Ju Ling Realm cultivation books were boldly written on the shelf. He repeated the same method and all the books on the bookshelf replicated in the memory box.
After duplicating all the cultivation manuals in the library, he was about to move to battle techniques, before a guard banged on the door to interrupt.
The guard came in with all kinds of delicacies and dropped them on the table by the side of the library.
"Zihao Gongzi! This meal is a special treat from the emperor. It's highly nutritious and also aids in Qi purification" The guard emphasized.
"The Emperor must have spent a fortune on this meal. How much does a meal like this cost? Lu Zihao asked the guard as he was reluctant to consume the rich delicacies served to him.
"A meal like this cost up to 5000 Gold coins! The salary of a star teacher in our Academy " the guard said. He left the library to his duty post.
"5000 Gold coins! A meal worth up to the salary of a star teacher at the academy! How can I eat such a valuable meal" Lu Zihao thought to himself. While he was still contemplating whether to eat or not, his stomach began to reverberate and he dived into action without hesitation.
"Wow the meal is worth every penny spent on it" Lu Zihao applauded after he emptied the entire bowl of food.
He stood up and commenced from where he stopped. 6 hours later, all the books in the library had been duplicated in the big vault inside his brain.
"let's see how many books I was able to gather," Lu Zihao said as he slipped his consciousness back to the vault.
All the books were floating around in the thousands.
"Compile! Lu Zihao ordered. And all the books began to flow into the intertwined tiny strands.
"How do I access the compiled books? Zihao asked. "Compiling books without having access to them is useless! He thought to himself.
He stood at the center of the vault confused and helpless. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind.
"Let me try touching these strands," Zihao thought to himself. He reaches out and touches the moving strands, and immediately another silk-white strand slips out of his forehead and connects with the intertwined strands.
7 books popped out from the intertwined strands in an orderly manner
Ju Ling Realm manual which is the first dan out of the 10 dans of the fighter realm at this realm the cultivator gathers spirit energy.
Linghe Realm manual also known as Spirit core realm where the cultivator forms a pool of spirit energy in the body. The second dan of the fighter realm
Chongjian 3rd dan realm, Haojiao 4th dan realm, and Shengguang Realm 5th dan realm.
Having read about the cultivation methods, Zihao sat down to cultivate.
"The former owner of this body was stuck at Ju Ling realm advance stage! Lu Zihao was shocked to see the stage the former owner of the body left behind.
"If I am the father of losers! He is the old Ancestors of losers" Lu Zihao chuckles as he finds solace in knowing that he is more reliable than the former host.
He threw two of the Bai Shao energy pills in his mouth and began to drive his spirit energy according to the books.
His cultivation began to surge
Ju Ling Realm advance stage....
Ju Ling Realm consummation...
Boom!!!! An explosion occurs within his mind. Another bottleneck was reached.
Chongjian Realm ....Primary stage!
Chongjian Realm... Intermediate stage!
Chongjian Realm...Advance stage!
He finally stopped at Haojiao Realm's advanced stage.
"This is isn't enough? Lu Zihao was shocked at how the resources given to him were depleted easily.
" I need to get more resources," Lu Zihao said to himself as he stood up and left the library.
