Translator: 549690339
After leaving the cafeteria, Lu Yun headed straight to the Book Collection Pavilion.
Seeing Lu Yun enter the pavilion, a flicker of sharp light flashed in the elderly eyes of the Elder who guarded it, though it was not easy to detect.
“This little fellow has been in the Martial Academy for less than a year and has already reached the True Qi Realm. His cultivation speed is even stronger than those with Level 6 Innate Talent. No wonder he has caught the Dean’s attention.”
Inside the first floor of the Book Collection Pavilion, in addition to martial arts books, there were many other miscellaneous books.
Among the miscellaneous books, there were books about the geography and astronomical knowledge of the nine provinces in the Morigin Dynasty, and there were also books on common knowledge of the Martial Arts Realm.
Furthermore, there were books on pills, spiritual materials, weapons, and so on.
Lu Yun’s main purpose this time was to read books on the topic of insights.
It was somewhat difficult to find a book of interest among the vast sea of miscellaneous books.
Fortunately, Lu Yun was not in a hurry. He slowly rummaged through the books and would pause when he found something interesting while taking notes for borrowing when he had enough Contribution Points.
Suddenly, he came across a book called “Chronicles of Morigin”, and the introduction immediately piqued Lu Yun’s curiosity.
A long time ago, the Morigin world was plagued by demon beasts, conflicts among sects, power struggles among aristocratic families, wars among provincial governments, and rampant bandits.
However, 800 years ago, a mysterious powerhouse emerged. He did not belong to any sect or aristocratic family.
It was as if he suddenly descended upon this world, showing off terrifyingly unparalleled means. He united the provincial governments, subdued major aristocratic families, suppressed various sects, and established the Morigin Dynasty.
From then on, the Morigin Dynasty was born, and this mysterious powerhouse naturally became the first generation Primordial Emperor.
After the establishment of the Morigin Dynasty, the Primordial Emperor mobilized the power of all sects and aristocratic families within the dynasty to fight against the demon beasts. They eventually achieved victory, driving the beasts out of the human territory.
Then, he divided the original territory where demon beasts and humans lived into nine provinces and established counties. He also set up Martial Academies in various counties to attract all talents within the Morigin territory, aimed at strengthening the dynasty and weakening the power of aristocratic families and sects.
Those sects were understandably unwilling to compromise.
For them, submission meant extinction.
In the 30th year of the Morigin Dynasty, the war between the sects and the dynasty broke out.
In the end, the sects were either annihilated or forced to flee from the nine provinces.
It was since then that martial arts and cultivation techniques were no longer monopolized by sects and noble aristocratic families. Commoners with good innate talent could join martial academies, and those with poorer talent could join the army, both able to learn martial arts and cultivation techniques.
Upon reading this far, the opening came to an end, and Lu Yun unconsciously flipped to the next page.
Lu Yun’s eyes flashed with a glint of surprise. “Oh, 1 can actually keep reading.”
He then continued to read page by page and encountered no resistance.
Finally, Lu Yun finished reading “Chronicles of Morigin” and picked up another book, easily finishing it again without any hindrance.
Then he read another, and the same result ensued. Lu Yun quickly came to a conclusion.
All miscellaneous books in the Book Collection Pavilion were free. Martial
Academy disciples could browse them at will without spending any Contribution Points.
Upon learning this, Lu Yun was naturally overjoyed.
Due to his background and experiences, he was relatively lacking in knowledge about martial arts and other matters. It was necessary for him to read and learn more to widen his horizons and enrich his knowledge.
The vast sea of miscellaneous books in the Book Collection Pavilion not only covered astronomy, geography, and other topics, but also touched upon martial arts, pills, spiritual materials, and more that Lu Yun was lacking.
If Contribution Points were needed for browsing these books, the amount required would far exceed the limit Lu Yun could bear.
Now that he could browse them directly without any cost, it not only saved a huge amount of Contribution Points for Lu Yun, but also allowed him to browse and absorb knowledge to his heart’s content by expanding his horizons.
Lu Yun no longer searched for books on insights slowly. He decided to read all the miscellaneous books once through.
The first set he read were about Morigin historical events and geography.
The first generation Primordial Emperor swept through sects and aristocratic families, expelled demon beasts, divided the nine provinces, promoted martial arts throughout the world, established unparalleled merit, and eventually abdicated in the 500th year of the Morigin. Since then, there was no news of him.
After the accession of the second generation Primordial Emperor, the sect forces that had escaped from the nine provinces began to rally back.
Although the current Primordial Emperor did not possess the supreme power of the first generation Primordial Emperor, the Morigin, which gathered the talents and human luck from the nine provinces, was not something those sect forces could contend with. They could only choose to erode it gradually…
“So that’s where the so-called evil cults came from.” Lu Yun finally understood why sects like the White Lotus Sect were considered evil cults.
It would indeed be strange if opposing the court would not be seen as an evil cult.
It took two days to finish reading the history and geography of Morigin.
At its inception, Morigin only had nine provinces; after continuously driving out demon beasts and developing new territories, three more provinces were established.
Today, there are twelve provinces altogether: Central Province, Wu Province, Qing Province, Yun Province, Yang Province, Jing Province, Yu Province, Liang Province, Yong Province, You Province, Yan Province, and Ling Province.
Among them, You Province, Yan Province, and Ling Province are newly developed territories.
Beyond the twelve provinces, there are still vast expanses of land.
As for the regions beyond the twelve provinces, there are no records of them in the Book Collection Pavilion.
Lu Yun doesn’t mind this, as the size of a single province is already enough to shock him, let alone the territories beyond the twelve provinces.
According to the books, Ling Province was developed three hundred years ago and has grown to have thirty-six prefectures to this day.
In just one of the thirty-six prefectures, Spirit Martial Prefecture, there are tens of millions of people.
From this, it can be inferred how vast Ling Province is and how wide Morigin is.
After spending two days and nights in the Book Collection Pavilion without rest, Lu Yun not only didn’t feel tired but became even more energetic, picking up another book from the shelf.
This book is about the theory of pill medicine, and Lu Yun is even more eager to read it.
Lu Yun’s memory is excellent now, almost swallowing everything in one go, yet still being able to remember the knowledge he had read.
Unless it’s a very difficult and obscure knowledge point, those require a little more time.
After several days of reading books, Lu Yun finally understood the uses and effects of various pills.
Pills, like martial arts realms, are also graded.
Pills are divided into nine grades, and within the same grade, there are many types, which help martial artists speed up their cultivation, break through bottlenecks, and so on.
In addition, there are pills to recover from injuries, enhance spiritual power, replenish True Qi, True Origin, and so on.
In short, pills are indispensable auxiliary tools for martial artists, their role is no less than martial arts and cultivation techniques.
First Grade pills are the lowest level, and have the greatest effect on martial artists in the Enter Martial Realm, such as the Body Tempering Pill.
The Meridian Pill and Profound Origin Pill are Second and Third Grade pills respectively.
Ninth Grade pills are the highest level, but such pills are priceless and scarce.
At least, there has never been a Ninth Grade pill in Spirit Martial Prefecture.
Pills can only be refined by alchemists.
It is incredibly difficult to become an alchemist; it requires not only exceptional talent, but also a certain degree of perseverance and inheritance, which has led to a scarcity of alchemists in Morigin.
As rarity increases value, so too do people; pills, as indispensable auxiliary tools for martial artists on their martial arts path, give alchemists a high status.
Lu Yun is indifferent to the status of alchemists, as in his view, only absolute strength can truly consolidate one’s position.
“If 1 learn alchemy myself, wouldn’t it be much easier for me to accumulate energy points later?”
This idea, like a spark, instantly ignited a raging fire in Lu Yun’s heart.
However, simply relying on the books in the Book Collection Pavilion is not enough for Lu Yun to become an alchemist.
To become an alchemist, the most basic requirement is to have talent.
The so-called talent refers to having high spiritual power and strong comprehension ability.
In terms of talent, Lu Yun wasn’t worried at all.
However, having talent alone doesn’t necessarily mean one can become an alchemist.
To become the lowest level First Grade alchemist, one must not only have talent but also be very familiar with various alchemy materials, including their attributes, uses, and so on.
In addition, one must also know the specific steps of alchemy, possess the corresponding pill prescriptions, and a furnace for pill refining.
Up to now, the only thing Lu Yun possesses is talent.
Considering all this, Lu Yun temporarily suppressed the idea of becoming an alchemist..
