Chapter 698.
A flurry of snow turned the Yongle Immortal City into a world of silver.
This was the first snowfall since the beginning of winter.
Although this cultivator city possessed a large protective spell formation that could completely isolate the wind, frost, rain, and snow from the outside, it was as warm as spring throughout the year, and there was not even a distinction between day and night.
However, the executives of the Immortal City believed in the way of nature, and unless there were special circumstances, they would not adjust the change of seasons.
In the small hall on the third floor of the Book Pavilion, Wang Chen, who was sitting in the lower seat, held a steaming cup of tea and sipped the hot spirit tea.
He only felt that his body was soothed.
Regrettably, there was some croaking in his ears.
“You have to organize the dossier information requested from above as soon as possible, at most three days ……”
At this time, the one sitting on the main seat was none other than Cao Ke, the principal of the Book Collection Pavilion.
The work of the Book Collection Pavilion was very spare, but sometimes one would receive task arrangements from above.
Then it would have to work overtime.
The several stewards looked at each other in dismay, and one of them said with a bitter face, “Three days is too short.”
The information volumes in the Book Pavilion were basically sealed with jade seals, similar to the digital storage in Wang Chen’s previous life.
It was actually still quick and easy to retrieve and organize.
However, if there was too much information content involved, then the manpower in the pavilion would not be enough.
After all, consulting jade slips for a long time would hurt the mind.
In addition to organizing the reproduction is also a hard work.
In the Book Depository Pavilion, there were one principal and five stewards, and a number of ordinary staff members below, most of them were salted fish lying flat, and suddenly indirectly to the temporary expedited task, naturally, they could not help but complain for a few sentences.
“This matter is not negotiable.”
Cao Ke said with a stern face, “Go home if you don’t want to do it, and you don’t have to come back later!”
He was well aware of the nature of his subordinates, so he directly put down harsh words.
Sure enough, the several stewards shrunk their heads and had no more objections.
After all, the bookstore supervisor is also considered a “civil servant” in the Immortal City system, although the salary and benefits are very low, but the work is easy to say out is also very decent.
Unless forced to do so, who would be willing to give up this job?
Even if they are the same as Wang Dust, by the other departments to cast idle sent over to muddle through.
As for the order, that is even more can not be disobeyed.
The Book Depository is subordinate to the thirty-six divisions of the Concubine Affairs Division, the latter’s sequence is very low, and the Book Depository is naturally not strong enough to go anywhere, and they are a few district small stewards, which have the qualifications and backbone to disobey orders!
“Go and get busy.”
Cao Ke waved his hand and added, “Steward Wang you stay first.”
After the other Stewards left, this Head Steward of the Book Pavilion inquired in a warm voice, “Steward Wang, you’ve been in the Book Pavilion for a while now, are you still adapting to the work here?”
Wang Dust replied, “Thank you for your concern, Master Supervisor, the lower cultivator has already adapted.”
“That’s good.”
Cao Ke nodded, “You’re in a different situation from the others, they have no future or hope left and are hanging around here for a day, if you have the chance, it’s better if you leave sooner rather than later!”
Actually, it’s quite good here ……
Wang Dust was superficially grateful, “The lower cultivator understands.”
“Uh-huh.”
Cao Ke was satisfied, “You also go, come to me when you encounter anything difficult, I will definitely help if I can.”
Wang Dust wasn’t sure whether this master chief was treating himself differently or treating others the same, so he coyly thanked him repeatedly and then left the small hall as well.
He didn’t take Cao Ke’s words to heart and continued to do whatever he needed to do.
After three busy days, Wang Chen resumed his “normal” life.
However, his focus on reading had changed.
In the past two to three months, Wang Chuan had borrowed a large number of books from the bookstore by virtue of his position.
These books covered a wide range of topics, what with notes from previous generations, customs and local customs, local chronicles, experience in training, and so on, he clumped together a lot of useful information.
Wang Dust, who possessed the Immortal Cultivation Panel, cultivated at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary cultivators, and his realm rose very quickly.
But rise too fast, the foundation is inevitably insufficient, experience and insight is also worse.
Through reading these books and notes, Wang Chuan can more or less make up for some of the lack of experience.
But the help to cultivation is not great.
Wang Chen didn’t want to spend his entire life in the Book Depository, he planned to spend three years cultivating to the peak of the Purple Mansion, and gather the treasures of Dan Condensation, and finally impact the Golden Dan Realm.
Wang Chen’s goal was to reach the upper third grade of Jindan!
Only with the previous experience, not only did Wang Chen not tell anyone about his goal, he even tried harder to hide himself, unwilling to fall into the eyes of certain people again.
Some time ago, Wang Dust first redeemed the Purple Electricity Flying Boat from the pawnshop, and then sold this flying magic treasure.
Together with a few other items, as well as the spirit stones he had saved, he had finally exchanged the booked Dan Condensation Treasure from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion as agreed.
The result of this was that Wang Chen’s pockets were now empty, and the number of spirit stones had shrunk to four digits.
It was barely enough to live on.
Eating something good had to be counted!
The problem was that the Thousand Year Spirit Bead, Seven Leaf Xuan Ginseng, and Ten Thousand Year Star Sand from the Eight Treasures of the Condensed Dan, not only was there no supply of them at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, but even if there was, the price was not something that Wang Dust could afford.
These three heavenly treasures were the most rare and hard to come by, and the price was also the highest.
Previously, Wang Dust had inquired in the Wan Bao Pavilion, and the answer he got was quite devastating.
Of course, he can also lower the standard, such as a thousand years of spirit beads replaced by a hundred years, seven leaves of Xuanzhenshen change four leaves, the number of ten thousand years of star sand reduced by a third of the child, the purchase cost of the natural greatly reduced.
But this way, the probability of condensing out the upper third grade Jindan will also have to follow the decline!
How could Wang Chen endure this?
He has the panel plug-in in his hand, fearless of others as a rift in the realm of the breakthrough gate, if this is still just scraping through alive, then it is really better to buy a piece of bean curd and crash to death.
Too humiliating!
Three pieces of rare treasure of condensed dan could not be bought or afforded, so Wang Chen thought of collecting it himself.
In fact, many Purple Mansion cultivators traveled around in search of Dan Condensation Treasures after reaching the peak level, both sharpening their own Dao base and will, and also saving costs.
Wang Chen also wanted to try.
Therefore, he specialized in searching for information in this area.
For example, where one needed to go to obtain the thousand year spirit bead, and what precautions and taboos there were when collecting it, these were all knowledge that needed to be understood and mastered.
Otherwise, if one was lucky enough to find something, and as a result the treasure was damaged due to not knowing how to collect it, then one would really have to spit out three mouthfuls of blood!
The fact proves that reading a lot is very useful.
In a previous person’s notebook, Wang Dust actually found a detailed account of Spirit Beads and Xuan Ginseng.
The place of origin was included!
This was very rare, knowing that the vast majority of people would hide the information about heavenly materials and geomancers after getting hold of them, and would never make them public.
And the writer of this notebook clearly did not have the idea of keeping it to himself!
Kudos must be given.
