At noon, Lu Li finished his lunch in the school cafeteria and went to the school library by himself.
After taking a stroll around the library, Lu Li gave up on the idea of setting up a teleportation array there.
The school library was too small. There were only two floors and very few books.
Moreover, most of them were academic reference books. Seeing the number of past years’ papers and mock exams questions made Lu Li’s head hurt, let alone reading.
Lu Li suddenly missed the library in his previous life’s university.
Although Lu Li didn’t read much in his previous life, he still often went to the library to use the internet to write his thesis.
With this in mind, Lu Li continued wandering around the library.
Finally, he stopped in front of the bookshelf of “Spiritual Studies” and observed it for some time. Then, he took down a copy of ‘Great era of spiritual energy’ and ‘Comprehensive analysis of breathing techniques’.
He borrowed these two books.
Returning to the classroom, he spent the rest of the afternoon finishing reading these two books.
These two books gave Lu Li a little over 300 Learning Points.
Moreover, his understanding of the breathing method deepened, increasing by another 900 points totalled!
The so-called comprehensive analysis of breathing techniques was an expansion of the content that was originally written on the basic breathing technique, but the content was still the same.
Although it had indeed deepened Lu Li’s understanding of the breathing technique a little, not much.
The inspiration and benefits that the ‘Great era of spiritual energy’ gave him were more. However, this inspiration had nothing to do with breathing techniques. It was more to give Lu Li a better view of the overall situation in this world where spiritual energy was recovering, it allowed him to have a deeper understanding of his current world.
Lu Li glanced at the price tag of the ‘Comprehensive analysis of breathing techniques’.
It was 648 dollars!
Whereas the ‘Great era of spiritual energy” was only 18 dollars.
According to Jiang Xu, the ‘Comprehensive analysis’ was always a bestseller over the past few years. On the other hand, the ‘Great era of spiritual energy’ was given to all the students when they entered the first year of high school, with most of them not reading it.
An expensive best-selling book filled with explanations of an already existing version.
Compared to an actual useful book that was given for free and ignored.
This was a very embarrassing fact.
“Ding Ling Ling Ling!”
The class bell rang.
The teacher announced the end of class.
While Lu Li was packing up his books, the class monitor, Chen Siyu, also carried her bag and came up to the two of them.
“Lu Li, Jiang Xu, I’ll take you to Room 502.”
“Oh, okay, thank you.”
Although he was a little embarrassed remembering about the incident of borrowing her novel in the morning, he still had to meet her regularly before the end of the college entrance examination. Lu Li could only try to ignore what had happened as much as possible.
The three of them went to the fifth floor together.
This was the first time Lu Li had come up to the fifth floor. In his previous life, there was no fifth floor in this building.
The other classrooms on the fifth floor were empty except for classroom 502 at the end of the corridor.
When the three of them were about to enter classroom 502, Lu Li felt that there seemed to be something different in this classroom.
After carefully sensing, he found that the spiritual energy in this classroom was much more abundant than outside.
There were no tables or chairs in this classroom, only futons on the ground.
More than a dozen students had already arrived. They sat cross-legged on the futons with their eyes closed, and their breathing was steady and rhythmic. It could be seen that they were cultivating here.
Most of them were familiar faces from class one.
Lu Li also noticed that in the middle of the classroom, there was a small platform. On the platform was a round glass container. Inside the container was a blue crystal the size of a fingernail.
Lu Li wondered what was so special about this crystal.
Chen Siyu led the two of them to a place in the middle of the classroom.
She pointed at the three futons on the ground and said, “Let’s sit here.”
The three of them put down their school bags and sat down cross-legged.
It was the first time for Lu Li and Jiang Xu to come to such a place, so they looked around as soon as they sat down.
Chen Siyu reminded them, “Although the instructor hasn’t come yet, we are allowed to start cultivating. The effects of cultivating here is much better than cultivating at home.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Li and Jiang Xu nodded.
The two of them naturally felt the difference in the classroom, as if there was an endless stream of heaven and earth spirit energy emitting from it.
Jiang Xu could not help but ask, “Is there a spirit gathering array in this classroom?”
Jiang Xu had only heard of a spirit gathering array and had never seen it before, so he did not know what the spirit gathering array looked like.
He could not find any related pictures on the internet.
“Spirit gathering array? How is that possible?”
Chen Siyu shook her head and said, “The instructor said that a spirit gathering array is something that can only be used on a Spirit Mountain. It can gather the spiritual energy from the mountain into one place. The reason why there is a lot of spiritual energy in this classroom is because of that.”
As she said that, Chen Siyu pointed at the small platform in the middle of the classroom.
Lu Li had already noticed it when he first entered the classroom. So it was that thing that’s continuously emitting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?
Chen Siyu introduced, “This is a spirit stone. This device is specially designed to extract the spiritual energy from spirit stones and convert it into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This device could be commonly found in martial arts schools.”
“Spirit stones?”
Lu Li had read about spirit stones in books.
After the recovery of spiritual energy, humans found an extremely rare ore underground. After processing and extracting this ore, they could obtain spirit stones from it.
Spirit stones contained rich spiritual energy, their hardness was comparable to diamonds, but they were even rarer than diamonds.
Spirit cultivators could absorb the spiritual energy in these spirit stones to strengthen their spiritual power.
Lu Li studied it carefully.
He couldn’t help but mutter, “This spirit stone is much smaller than I thought.”
Chen Siyu explained, “It wasn’t originally this small. When it was first placed in, it was this big.”
Chen Siyu made a gesture that was about the size of a thumb.
Chen Siyu continued to explain, “It has been placed in for a week. Usually, it will be used up in two weeks.”
“I see.”
Lu Li nodded.
“Not necessarily.”
At this moment, a boy sitting in front of Lu Li and the others turned his head around and smiled, “Sometimes, it will be used up in a week.”
Hearing this, the three of them could not help but look at the boy.
The boy had many freckles on his face. Judging from his tone, he sounded very familiar. Lu Li remembered this person. He was a student of class one.
He said, “When Jiang Xiaogu, Ye Ming, and Chen Xu were here, they used up the entire spirit stone in a week. When they were cultivating, they would absorb all the spiritual energy in the air.”
Hearing these three names, Lu Li’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.
These three names could be considered celebrities in this school in his previous life.
After all, they were all top students who were often called out and praised by the principal during assembly.
“Jiang Xiaogu and Ye Ming? I only entered the Spirit Martial class at the end of last semester, so I didn’t know.”
Chen Siyu said with a face full of embarrassment.
The boy with freckles only nodded and said with a smile, “That’s normal. A lot of people only entered the Spirit Martial class in the past few months. As for the three of them, they stopped coming here from the second half of their 11th grade. Look.”
As he said that, the freckled boy pointed at the door, he said, “Look over there, the Spiritual Power Index ranking of our Spirit Martial class. The three of them haven’t been here for almost a year, so their data was still from last May, but they still firmly occupy the top three! Ridiculous isn’t it.”
Hearing that, the three of them looked at the door..
