"Do I need to pay compensation?" Lu Yang asked nervously. The most valuable thing on his body was probably his brain.
"Pay compensation?" The senior brother glanced at the book in his hand, then looked at Lu Yang, and his eyes twitched fiercely.
According to the regulations, it is indeed necessary to compensate for the spirit stones, but the problem is that if this book is spread out, it will be waiting for the Dragon and Phoenix tribes to join forces from the demon domain to the central continent and kill the Dao Sect.
Although the Dao Sect is not afraid of the Dragon and Phoenix tribes, dragon liver and phoenix marrow are delicious, and taking them can nourish yin and yang...but they are at least a famous and upright sect. The presence of a banned book like "Dragon and Phoenix Transformation" in the Sutra Pavilion will eventually tarnish their reputation.
Thinking of this, the senior brother silently hid the book in his sleeves with a calm face.
"Pay compensation? What book did you dirty? I didn't see it."
Destroying books in the Sutra Pavilion is too conspicuous and will trigger the formation. It is better to take them outside and destroy them.
Lu Yang instantly figured out the key point - the senior brother wanted to keep it privately.
So nothing happened just now.
The two looked at each other, their mouths raised, as if they really understood each other's meaning.
The banned book was a small episode, Lu Yang did not forget the purpose of his visit to the Sutra Library.
He searched for a long time before he found the book introducing the Central Continent - "Continental Public Opinion".
Lu Yang rubbed his hands excitedly and read carefully.
"There are humans, monsters, ghosts, etc. in the world. The Central Continent is where humans gather. The biggest power on the continent is the Great Xia Dynasty, the only country on the Central Continent. It suppresses the destiny of humans and represents the orthodoxy of humans."
"So, although my family is close to the Dao Sect, it also belongs to the Great Xia Dynasty."
"To the east of the continent is a vast ocean with scattered islands dotted among them. Ancient monsters such as Kunpeng and Chaos appear from time to time."
"To the west of the continent is the Golden Buddha Kingdom, where there is infinite pure land and temples as numerous as gravel."
"To the south of the continent is the monster domain. The dragon and phoenix clans are the overlords of the monster domain. The monsters are cruel and bloodthirsty. The Great Xia Dynasty and the monster domain are constantly in friction. There are also monsters hidden in the Great Xia Dynasty, which is a scourge to humans."
"To the north of the continent is the extreme north, where the ice does not melt and no grass grows , sparsely populated, other creatures rarely show up, only extremely powerful races live there. "
"The Central Continent has the most human races and the most cultivators. Some cultivators choose to serve as officials in the court, while more cultivators choose to establish a sect or join a sect. Sects are scattered all over the Central Continent, and the most powerful of them are the five major sects such as the Asking Dao Sect, which are the leaders of the righteous way."
"The book also says that among the five major sects, there must be a great power in the Tribulation Period and a means to match the combat power of the Tribulation Period... Could it be that the sect master is a great power in the Tribulation Period? Or does the Asking Dao Sect have a great elder who has been hidden from the world?"
Thinking that he was fortunate to be a disciple of a sect master who might be a great power in the Tribulation Period, Lu Yang was a little overjoyed. He stood up and poured a glass of water. He suppressed his excitement by drinking water and sat back to continue reading.
"The demon cultivators are bloodthirsty and use the lives of living beings to promote their own cultivation. They are more harmful than the demons. After all, the demon cultivators are not presentable cultivators. They hide in dark corners. Under the joint suppression of the Great Xia Dynasty and the five major immortal sects, the demon sects dare only act in secret and dare not show up."
In addition to the demon cultivators, the book also mentioned a thing called evil demons. It was quite obscure, saying that the evil demons were born ruthless and were the shadow of the human race. It was not reasonable to judge and stay away from them. It was very mysterious. Lu Yang did not figure out what the evil demons were.
"Mortals use gold, silver and copper as currency, and cultivators use three grades of spirit stones as currency."
Next, Lu Yang began to learn common sense knowledge in the world of immortal cultivation, such as the standards for dividing each realm, what the hundred arts of immortal cultivation include, the types of monsters, the levels of exercises, the history of the Central Continent, etc.
The knowledge Lu Yang heard from the storyteller in the teahouse was far from enough for him to gain a foothold in the world of immortal cultivation.
Lu Yang looked at the lines of mysterious knowledge and couldn't help but immerse himself in them. He swam in the ocean of knowledge until the evening, when he felt hungry and remembered that he hadn't eaten for a day.
At this time, the door of the Sutra Library had been replaced by a senior brother.
Lu Yang asked respectfully: "Sorry to bother you, senior sister. I just came here yesterday and I'm not familiar with the Dao Sect. Do we have a place to eat in the Dao Sect?"
The senior sister was startled by Lu Yang, shivered, and dodged her eyes. She was afraid to talk to people.
Generally, everyone can abide by the rules of the Sutra Library and doesn't need to be reminded. Her personality is very suitable here.
She didn't dare to look directly at Lu Yang, and lowered her head and whispered softly: "So you are the new junior brother. There is a cafeteria in the Dao Sect, but as a person who has been there, I don't recommend you to eat in the cafeteria."
Lu Yang was puzzled: "Why is that? Is there something wrong with the cafeteria?"
"It's on the peak of the Fifth Elder, Bailian Mountain."
Lu Yang was stunned. The name of this mountain doesn't sound like a place to cook: "I wonder if this Bailian Peak is..."
"The Fifth Elder is good at refining weapons, so this Bailian Peak is naturally a mountain for refining weapons. The cafeteria is located on Bailian Peak. The chefs in the cafeteria are all first-class refiners. The steamed buns can penetrate the mountains, rice grains can be used as hidden weapons, and fried dough sticks can even break steel and iron bones."
Lu Yang He didn't know where to start his complaint: "...Why can a chef be a weapon refiner?"
The senior sister explained weakly: "Junior brother, think about it, the most important thing for a chef is the heat, and the weapon refiner is best at controlling the heat. The relationship between these two professions is closer than you think."
Lu Yang nodded sincerely: "It is indeed closer than I thought."
The senior sister looked at Lu Yang's simple dress and hesitated: "And buying weapons, oh no, to eat in the cafeteria requires spiritual stones, this junior brother, you don't look very rich."
The clothes of ordinary practitioners are not so exquisite, but at least they are made of some common spiritual objects such as Tiancan silk, which are difficult to be penetrated by water and fire.
Lu Yang's dress is simple, and there are countless scraps of cloth sewn on his clothes. It can be seen at a glance that he is a mortal.
Lu Yang smiled embarrassedly. He really didn't have a single spiritual stone.
"Don't be embarrassed. There are many mortals in the Taoist sect." The senior sister comforted softly.
"There are ways to eat, well... you can go to Danding Peak to have a look, there should be discarded Qigong pills there, you can ask them for some."
"Danding Peak has very high requirements for pills. They are said to be discarded, but in fact, the quality is not high enough. Don't worry about poison."
"But in Danding Peak, you have to be careful of the seventh elder of the peak master, Senior Brother Wu Ming, Senior Brother Wen Da, Senior Sister Qingkong, Junior Brother Longyan... In short, you have to be careful."
Lu Yang suppressed his confusion and bowed his hands and said: "I am Lu Yang, thank you Senior Sister, may I ask your name?"
"My name is Zhou Lulu."
