I’m the MC, Why Do I Suck at Cultivation - Chapter 40-1

Chapter 40: What Do You Know?

Indeed.

Lu Changsheng really needed to learn some Daoist spells.

The outside world was extremely dangerous. He had to learn a few spells to protect himself.

As the old saying went; do it ourselves, and we will be bountiful.

No matter how powerful Lu Changsheng’s guards were, they weren’t his own power.

When faced with danger, Lu Changsheng still had to rely on himself.

Daoist spells in the Zenith Land were all kept in the Hall of Thousands of Books.

Liu Qingfeng stayed back in the room to make more pills while Lu Changsheng headed to the Hall of Thousands of Books alone.

Fortunately, he had the Level-twelve Cyan Lotus now. Otherwise, he had to go on foot.

Also, the Level-twelve Cyan Lotus could gather spiritual air on its own instead of consuming Lu Changsheng’s spiritual Qi, it was really convenient.

Within ten minutes, Lu Changsheng finally arrived at the Hall of Thousands of Books.

He instantly caught a lot of attention.

While in the air, Standing on the Level-twelve Cyan Lotus, dim blue light covered Lu Changsheng. The flow of Qi around him made Lu Changsheng look just like an immortal.

Words that could describe Lu Changsheng’s face couldn’t be said. His face was just that amazingly handsome. A single glance at him could turn into an ever-lasting memory.

“Senior Brother.”

“Senior Brother.”

In front of the Hall of Thousands of Books, the disciples hurriedly bowed to Lu Changsheng with respect.

“Please skip the formalities, Junior Brothers and Sisters,” Lu Changsheng casually said.

When his feet touched the ground, the Level-twelve Cyan Lotus disappeared in the air. A mere thought in Lu Changsheng’s mind could easily call it back.

After, Lu Changsheng talked to the person in charge before walking into the Hall of Thousands of Books.

The Hall of Thousands of Books was in the shape of an octagon and had nine floors. Ordinary disciples could only access the first three floors, whereas the Inner Sect disciples could reach the sixth floor. Immediate disciples could go all the way up to the eighth floor. However, the ninth floor was only reserved for the Chief Leader, Saint Son, Senior Elders, and the heads of the halls.

To read the books there, the Immediate disciples had to get the corresponding permits to do so.

Although Lu Changsheng wasn’t the Saint Son, but as the Eldest Senior Brother in the Zenith Land, he enjoyed the same treatment. Even before the title was officially conferred onto him, Lu Changsheng was in fact already considered as the Saint Son in the Zenith Land.

If the rules were firmly and strictly applied, then Lu Changsheng still wasn’t allowed to go up to the ninth floor.

However, since he had the Zenith Token Amulet. No one could stop him.

He came to the ninth floor.

On the ninth floor, there were only thirteen kinds of Daoist spells kept here.

He randomly picked up a jade roll.

And then he placed it down.

It wasn’t that Lu Changsheng couldn’t understand it. But it was because of the very first line written on it, ‘For Soul Splitting cultivators.’

Are you joking…?

If I already reached the Soul Splitting stage, I wouldn’t even have come here!

Lu Changsheng then picked up another jade roll.

Not bad. It was for Soul Formation cultivators.

Then another roll.

Unbelievable! It was for Mahayana cultivators.

If I already reached the Mahayana stage, then why would I still want to learn Daoist spells?

Very soon, Lu Changsheng realized that all the Daoist spells here on the ninth floor required at least the Soul Formation stage. There wasn’t any need for ordinary disciples to come here.

In fact, nothing here could be used by ordinary disciples.

If they came here, they wouldn’t be able to do anything.

Maybe except just stare at the jade rolls.

Lu Changsheng then put down the jade roll in his hand and went downstairs.

On second thought, Lu Changsheng realized that there wouldn’t be anything for him on the eight floor either, seeing as he was a Qi Refining cultivator.

Which is why he came down to the fifth floor instead.

When he was on the ninth floor, it was extremely quiet.

However, once he arrived on the fifth floor, he discovered that there were quite a lot of disciples here.

“Senior Brother.”

“Good day, Senior Brother.”

“Senior Brother is here! Let’s go and see!”

The disciples were all very excited. Since most of them were Inner Sect disciples, they usually didn’t have a chance to see Eldest Senior Brother, the only times when they saw him were at the debate and the grand ceremony.

However, today, their Eldest Senior Brother was right in front of them. They were extremely thrilled.

“Quiet! Don’t disturb Changsheng.”

The elder in charge of the Hall of Thousands of Books arrived. In an instant, all of the disciples stopped talking.

“It’s fine, as long as you aren’t too loud.” Lu Changsheng looked very easygoing and kind. He picked up several books and carefully read them.

Soon after, Lu Changsheng left the floor.

He found that the Daoist spells on the fifth floor required at least the Gold Core stage.

This was really annoying.

He now came down to the second floor, holding on to the belief that this must be the right place for him.

But it also turned out that the Daoist spells here on the second floor required at least the Core Formation stage.

Interesting.

Interesting.

Interesting.

Lu Changsheng then walked down to the first floor, looking quite calm and peaceful.

While being stared at by many curious eyes, Lu Changsheng remained very civil.

He picked up a random book.

Jin Yang Sword.

It sounds very good.

Lu Changsheng read the first line. ‘This is at least for Foundation Establishment cultivators.’

Very good.

Lu Changsheng put it down and turned to look at the several Junior Brothers nearby him. The way they were staring at Lu Changsheng was filled with admiration.

“Junior Brothers, may I know where the Daoist spells for the Qi Refining stage are?”

Lu Changsheng had no choice but to ask.

“What? Qi Refining?”

“Senior Brother, what do you want to do with those?”

“Senior Brother, it’s right there.”

One of them was astonished, whereas others were curious, however, only one of them immediately told Lu Changsheng the direction.

Lu Changsheng didn’t answer their questions. He simply walked to the most remote corner on the first floor.

Even the most unpopular bookshelves were kept tidy and clean in the Zenith Land.

There weren’t many choices that were available here for Qi Refining cultivators.

In the Zenith Land, the Qi Refining stage was just a transitional stage for many disciples. They didn’t need to learn any Daoist spells when they were at this stage.

After picking up one of the rolls, Lu Changsheng took a glance at the list of the spell names—

[Metal Element Sword Techniques That Are Basically Powerless]

[Bull Fist Techniques That No One Wants to Learn]

[Camouflage Spell — Why Is This Low-Rank Spell Even Here In The Zenith Land]

[Sword Kinesis Flight — Not Too Bad]

[Qi Refining Cultivators Should Forget About Learning Spells And Focus On Establishing Their Foundation]

——-

Lu Changsheng was confused.

Who named these spells?

Why did this person despise the Qi Refining stage so much?

What did Qi Refining cultivators ever do to him or her?

Every single cultivator started with the Qi Refining stage on their journey!

Although Lu Changsheng was slightly pissed, he picked up one of the spells and started reading it carefully.

His presence alone made many disciples beyond curious as to why he was here. However, the fact that Lu Changsheng was reading spells meant for Qi Refining cultivators was a fascinating mystery in their eyes.

Honestly speaking, Lu Changsheng struggled before making the decision to come to the first floor.

This was because on the first floor, he would get a lot of attention.

But he didn’t really have any other choice. He was about to ask Liu Qingfeng to get him a couple of jade rolls to study. However, on second thought, Lu Changsheng was concerned that Liu Qingfeng would cause even more trouble than he already had. It was always better for him to come here in person.

Lu Changsheng didn’t really care about what others would say about him.

Lies would always be exposed sooner or later. Lu Changsheng knew it was better to calmly accept it.

“What is Eldest Senior Brother doing here?”

“Why is he studying spells for Qi Refining cultivators?”

“That’s right. This is so strange.”

The disciples couldn’t help but keep wondering. In comparison, Lu Changsheng remained rather calm.

He didn’t want to hide anything.

He didn’t want to come up with more lies just to cover up one lie.

However, at this time, a cold voice suddenly arrived.

“What do you know about it?”

The disciples immediately recognized the voice.

“Elder.”

“Elder.”

They hurriedly greeted the elderly man.

The elderly man walked to them and said in a serious tone, “In Dao, everything is equal. In Martial Nephew Changsheng’s eyes, any spells can be extraordinary. All of you can only see the power of the spells on their surfaces, but not their cores.

“This is why Lu Changsheng is the Eldest Senior Brother.

“In this world, there are no weak Daoist spells but only weak cultivators.

“An immortal can cleave the sun and moon with a straw!

“A mundane human can do nothing even if he was given a celestial object!

“This is the ultimate stage. You wouldn’t understand,” the elder said in the Hall of Thousands of Books.

The disciples were greatly enlightened by this sudden lecture.

Even Lu Changsheng was almost convinced.
