Chapter 699.
The mountain of books is a path of diligence, and the sea of learning is a boat of suffering!
After a few months of hanging out in the Book Pavilion of the Immortal City of Eternal Bliss, Wang Dust felt that this current job was just too suitable for him, it was almost as if it was tailor-made for him.
The position of steward was neither high nor low, and he didn’t have to take the main responsibility, nor did he need to do tedious and hard work.
Every day, Wang Chen only had to regularly inspect the floor he was responsible for and check on the work of the book attendants, and then the rest of the time he could stay in his own room to read, sip tea, nourish his qi, and cultivate.
Although the Book Pavilion housed a large number of books and jade slips, it did not involve high-value technique secrets, so even the most ordinary city residents could borrow books and trophies here.
Therefore, no one will have enough to hit the idea of this place, very safe and secure.
The more books Wang Chenggou borrowed here, the deeper his understanding of the Haotian Realm became, and the richer the information he grasped.
Quantitative change will bring about qualitative change, in fact, a lot of interesting and useful knowledge intelligence, hidden in these books between the lines, a glimpse of ten lines is easy to ignore, read carefully can dig out.
For example, the record about the spirit bead and xuan ginseng came from an unnamed traveler’s written notes.
This notebook was stored in the third floor of the Book Pavilion by the corner, Wang Dust, because he was in charge of the management affairs of the third floor, had previously conducted a detailed inventory of the books in the collection, and only inadvertently discovered it.
He didn’t expect to find something very useful to him in it.
Compared to that, the meager salary and benefits of the Book Collection Pavilion were nothing at all!
Wang Dust expected to be able to live like this until he condensed his Jindan.
“Little Wang ah.”
In the tea room on the second floor of the Book Pavilion, an old cultivator with a white beard and hair smiled and said to Wang Chuan, “We are all old men who eat and wait for death, you are young, don’t cut off your own path.”
“Cough!”
Wang Dust coughed twice and laughed bitterly, “Senior, you also know that I have injured my dao foundation, unless I get the Heaven Returning Pill, it would be great if I can preserve my cultivation, I really don’t dare to think of anything else!”
The Heaven Restoring Pill was a third-order elixir, and the seventeen main ingredients and auxiliary materials needed to refine it were all valuable heavenly materials.
Moreover, the difficulty of refining this kind of elixir is extremely high, non-masters dare not open the furnace, a furnace can come out two or three adult dan is very good.
Therefore, even if a Jindan real person wants to get a few Heaven Reclaiming Pills, it is not an easy thing to do.
How would Wang Chen, a powerless little Zifu, dare to hope for that?
The other few stewards present were of course well aware of this, and they all spoke out in relief.
One said that the fortunate will have their own destiny, and the other said that there will be blessings after a great calamity.
It seemed to sound very heartwarming, yet Wang Chen could hear a hint of gloating.
It wasn’t that he was too sensitive.
Book Depository Cabinet five stewards, according to seniority rankings divided out of the big steward, two stewards, three stewards ……
Wang dust is the lowest ranked five stewards.
Unlike the other four stewards who are waiting for death, he is very young, even if his foundation is damaged and his future is bleak, his vitality is incomparable to others.
Even if Wang Chen’s cultivation had stagnated, he would still be able to live for another two hundred years with proper health care.
The four stewards all had a short lifespan left, so how could they feel comfortable when they saw such a young Wang Chen?
These guys who had been thrown into the Book Depository to muddle through their lives had long since worn down their ambitions, and it would be impossible for their hearts to be broad!
Therefore, they usually like to stimulate Wang Chuan intentionally or unintentionally, openly or secretly reveal Wang Chuan’s “scars”, and also rely on the old to put on a show of care and concern, so that people have no way to get angry.
They are happy to do so!
Wang dust has long recognized their dirty mind, usually nothing to hide far away.
Invisibly isolated himself.
But this is good for him!
After chatting with a few stewards with a smile on his face, Wang Chen got up to say goodbye and left the tea room to go back to his own room.
Today was the monthly meeting of the stewards, and he had to come to it.
Now that the meeting was over, Wang Dust had enough to eat before he continued to make false pretenses with these rotten old men!
“Tsk!”
The old cultivator from earlier shook his head and showed a regretful expression, “It’s a pity.”
Several other stewards nodded fervently, “Pity!”
Then they looked at each other and smiled.
They felt that they were older than Wang Chuan and had status, but in reality, Wang Chuan only regarded these guys as dead bones in the mound, as long as they didn’t come to interfere with his life, he didn’t bother to care about it.
Returning to his room and closing the door behind him, Wang Chen picked up one of the Taoist classics that he hadn’t finished reading and continued to read.
At the same time he was concentrating on the book, in the dantian of the sea of qi, a limpid golden dan continued to gulp spiritual energy, dripping and spinning.
The majestic mana was like a long river rushing, circulating in Wang Chen’s meridians and finally returning to the dantian.
Little by little, his cultivation realm slowly but firmly rose!
By the time the library was closed, when Wang Chuan walked out of the room, his face had already “recovered” its original pallor, the light in his eyes was dull, and his entire aura had become low and gray.
Although Guan Shengping, the real person who sent Wang Chen here, had already forgotten about him as a small person.
But Wang dust has been conscientiously play the role of “wounded”.
Because as long as he maintains the image of “salted fish”, then he can live in peace and stability.
No longer be Guan Shengping, Yu Fei stream, as well as other people who have the intention to pay attention to and counting!
In this way, winter and spring came and went, and another year passed.
During the rainy season, Wang Chen’s life of meticulous cultivation in the Book Pavilion saw a slight change.
He upgraded.
It wasn’t that Wang Chen’s cultivation realm had broken through from the eighth level of the Purple Mansion to the ninth level, but rather that he had been upgraded from the dangling fifth steward to a fourth steward, in charge of managing the fourth level of the Book Collection Pavilion.
As for the reason, it was actually very simple, the original second-ranked steward hung up.
The second steward was the oldest and particularly narrow-minded, and usually liked to lean on Wang Chen.
Probably the bitch has its own heavenly harvest, probably the heavens can not see past this old bastard, it is said that in the process of taking a dan containing qi to go crazy, died on the spot.
Wang Dust was thus promoted to the fourth steward.
And the vacancy he left behind was soon filled by someone else.
There are countless cultivators in Yongle Immortal City, and the unlucky ones are all over the place, so it’s not bad for them to be sent to the Book Depository to sit on the bench.
In the blink of an eye, it’s the middle of summer again.
Wang Dust applied to Cao Ke, the head of the Book Depository, for an annual vacation.
The Book Depository belongs to the coldest of the cold in the system of Yongle Immortal City, and there is neither oil nor future in working in it, so the rules are very loose.
Stewards like Wang Chen could apply for ten days and half a month’s annual leave if they needed it.
As long as the leave is made up, it will be fine.
Cao Ke didn’t make things difficult for him and approved it very quickly.
