Chapter 63: Perusing Numerous Books
After Mo Feng bid farewell to Mo Hua, he didn't return to Bieliang Yuan but instead headed towards the East Wing's library.
These days, apart from the necessary cultivation, Mu Feng often goes to the library to read some books. Of course, among the martial arts and skills in the library, he is now only interested in that "Tian Xuan Sword Manual", and the rest have no attraction for him.
He didn't go there to practice martial arts, but to browse through the books stored on the first floor of the library at the north end. It was also during one of his casual browsing sessions that he discovered many valuable books were collected inside.
When Mufeng arrived at the Scripture Pavilion, there were already many disciples of various sects on the first floor, browsing through the martial arts and techniques. After all, not everyone could learn the top-grade Yellow Stage techniques and martial arts on the second floor, or the Mystic Stage martial arts on the third floor. So they settled for second best, choosing middle to lower grade Yellow Stage techniques and martial arts on the first floor.
The arrival of Mufeng also caused the young men and women present to point fingers at him, and some people began to whisper to each other. After all, Mufeng had won the championship of the tribal competition, and suddenly became a celebrity in the Mu clan.
Facing these gazes and discussions, Mufeng also couldn't help but laugh and cry, but slowly he got used to it. After all, who made a big show of himself at this year's coming-of-age ceremony?
Mo Feng didn't stop and went straight to the northern end of the first floor of the Cangshu Pavilion.
"What is he doing there? Not hurrying up to cultivate, but instead going to read those idle books?"
"Ah, I suppose geniuses always have to show off their uniqueness to others." someone responded with a tinge of sarcasm.
"Isn't it just winning a championship? Is he stronger than Han Yutang and Mu Kun?"
……
Mo Feng's actions caused a stir among the young men and women present.
For these gossips, Mu Feng could only choose to ignore them.
Thousands of books, neatly categorized and placed on shelves for the Mo family to read, but it seems that the Mo family members are not very interested in them, so many books have a thick layer of dust on them.
Mo Feng casually picked up a book, gently blowing away the layer of dust on its surface, revealing three words: Strange News Records!
Mo Feng flipped through it and found that it recorded the strange events of Xuan Yuan Continent for tens of thousands of years. Inside, Mo Feng saw two familiar names: Yang Shen and Blood Demon God.
However, when Mu Feng flipped to the page that recorded Yang Shen's name, the note behind his name simply read: The former peak expert of the Sacred Profound Continent, rumored to have fallen in a great war thousands of years ago.
When I turned to the page recording the Blood Demon God, the note behind his name was also extremely simple: The former peak expert of the Sacred Profound Continent, bloodthirsty by nature, with an extremely evil and sinister technique. It is said that he fell in a great war several thousand years ago.
Looking at other catalogs again, the detailed introductions are basically non-existent. The notes behind each character or event are extremely brief, and it's as if they didn't say anything at all.
When he turned to the last page, Mu Feng's gaze was suddenly attracted: Sheng Xuan Da Di, the number one martial artist in the mainland's history, who was said to have fallen in a great war thousands of years ago. However, behind it was written another sentence, Sheng Xuan Da Di's four imperial artifacts: Tian Can Jia, Wu Di Yin, Zhan Mo Jian, Yi Gu Huan, whereabouts unknown.
Mo Feng flipped through it, tossing the book aside, and mentally cursed the author as well. Not even recording the Devouring Heart Flame, but instead collecting some strange and bizarre stories that were well-known on the mainland to write a book and swindle money, without any useful information at all.
He picked up another one, which read: Ancient Mechanics!
He flipped through it lightly, but was deeply attracted by the content inside. The book describes the classification, principles and some cracking methods of various mechanisms, which made Mu Feng, who had never seen or heard of such things before, open his eyes wide with wonder.
There were also some books that described the mythical creatures and spiritual medicines of the Sacred Profound Continent, which made Mu Feng exclaim in admiration.
Among these thousands of books, although there are many that are mediocre and unremarkable, there are also many that are similar to ancient mechanics, which gave Mufeng a new understanding of the entire Shengxuan continent.
Just as he was absorbed in watching, his shoulder was suddenly patted, and he jumped in fright.
"Little Wolf, I didn't expect you to like reading these books." Mu Hanqing jumped out from behind and took a glance at the book in Mu Feng's hand. Because of their family relationship, Mu Hanqing had always called Mu Feng "Little Wolf", no matter how much Mu Feng begged him not to.
However, she also knew that Mu Feng was only trying to save herself and didn't intentionally belittle her, so she didn't hold a grudge against him. On the contrary, when interacting with him, she found that Mu Feng was actually not bad as a person.
Mo Feng was startled by someone and was about to vent his anger when he heard Mo Hanqing's voice, and his anger suddenly dissipated.
In the whole clan, most people were afraid of this coquettish lady. Once a certain clansman offended her and was punished by her with an itching powder, it is said that his skin was scratched off in one layer.
This old lady is eccentric and unpredictable, with a multitude of tricks up her sleeve. Her abilities are also quite impressive, and as the granddaughter of an elder statesman, ordinary people really have no way to deal with her.
"With nothing to do, just take a look. Han Qing, you're reading too? Mu Feng couldn't help but smile wryly, but his heart was secretly on high alert. Last time, she sent him a Void Stone for no reason, if Zheng Jian hadn't appeared, who knows what tricks she would have played on him?"
"What's so good about the books here? You shouldn't waste your time reading these idle books. In a few more days, you'll be going out for training." Mu Hansheng curled her lip.
"These books actually look quite interesting." Murong Feng said with a smile.
"Huh?" Mu Hanqing took the book and flipped through it, but couldn't muster up any interest, and threw it back to Mu Feng.
"I think you should focus on your cultivation, in half a year it will be the Mocheng Qingying Competition again, don't let Zheng Jian win the championship once more. I heard he's about to reach the peak of the Huaqi Realm soon." Mu Hanqing said with disgust when mentioning Zheng Jian.
Although Zheng Jian's reputation is not good, his cultivation can't be said to be the first among the young generation in Mocheng. In the previous Qingying Competition, he defeated Mochan Yu and won the championship, making a name for himself in Mocheng.
"This is useless, my strength is so weak, far inferior to Han Yu's sister. In the clan, there are many people stronger than me." Mu Feng shook his head, he didn't have the confidence to defeat Zheng Jian.
"How can you be so disheartened? Don't we still have half a year left? I have high hopes for you." Mu Han Qing smiled slyly, patted Mu Feng's shoulder and said loudly, her big eyes blinking rapidly, with an innocent look.
Mo Feng suddenly felt the gaze of the surrounding crowd, among whom were many hot-blooded young men who regarded Mu Hanqing as a goddess. Only then did he react and realize that this little girl was making him an enemy.
Mo Feng smiled wryly and glanced at Mo Hanqing, who was pretending to be innocent. He said helplessly, "Alright, I'll try my best to cultivate and defeat Zheng Jian in the Qingying Competition."
"That's right!" Mu Hanqing said with satisfaction.
……
Behind the bookshelf, a pair of eyes stared at Mu Feng, and a harsh curse came from his mouth: "Dare to compete with me for Qing Mei, if I don't take you down, my name is not Mu Cheng."
