I use my future dreams to prove immortality.

Chapter 91 The Book Pavilion

Zhou Qiuyuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister!"

Wei Xia waved his hand and replied, "Senior Sister got a great deal this time. In addition to the Thunder Spirit Root, she also received seventy-nine spirit stones."

"Consider these spirit stones a loan from Senior Sister. She can repay them gradually when she has more money."

Wei Xia proactively explained that he had received an extra amount of spirit stones and did not want to take advantage of others.

Zhou Qiuyuan said helplessly, "Senior sister, since you treat me as your junior brother, there's no need to bring up the matter of spirit stones again."

Having said all that, Wei Xia didn't say anything more.

As if she had just thought of something, she said, "Senior Sister will be going out with Gu Hongzhuang for a while. You will stay here and not go out."

After learning about the taboos surrounding the Thunder Spirit Root from Wei Xia, Zhou Qiuyuan returned to his residence to cultivate.

The acquired lightning spiritual root and the lightning spiritual tool are quite similar. After establishing a connection between the two, he attempted to communicate with heaven and earth.

Perhaps because Zhou Qiuyuan frequently used the Thunder Blade in his cultivation, he quickly brought the four hundred Thunder Spirit Roots under his control, achieving an effect comparable to a high-grade Thunder Spirit Tool.

To bring more Thunder Spirit Roots under control in the future will require a long and painstaking process.

Before I knew it, the dream of the future had ended.

After confirming that there were no problems with his future dream, Zhou Qiuyuan replicated the process in the real world and successfully implanted the acquired lightning spiritual root with Wei Xia's help.

At this point, he truly possessed spiritual roots, and cultivating immortality was no longer out of reach.

Zhou Qiuyuan tempered his body in the real world, adapted to the lightning spirit root in the future dream, and brought more lightning spirit root servants under his control, without delaying either.

He focused more on body refinement, striving to reach the Vajra Realm as soon as possible.

Once he had all one thousand lightning spirit roots under his control, he could cultivate immortal techniques and officially embark on the path of cultivation.

Zhou Qiuyuan possessed exceptional talent in lightning spirit cultivation, and within just three days, he mastered all one thousand lightning spirit roots.

With the blessing of a thousand lightning spirit roots, the body tempering efficiency doubled, and each breath could condense a wisp of Yang lightning energy.

With the Chi Yuan Tong Zang Pill he obtained from exchanging with Gu Hongzhuang, Zhou Qiuyuan can refine it once a day, and his Thunder Heart has already reached the fourth refinement stage.

With the Thunder Nourishing Pill in hand, he could reach the Tenth Refinement Thunder Heart in five days.

The Thunder Liver needs to be tempered to the tenth level, and it still lacks a Thunder Nourishing Pill. It's not too late to ask the master for the Thunder Nourishing Pill after some time has passed.

Zhou Qiuyuan returned to his bed and fell into a deep sleep.

A dream of the future.

Before Wei Xia left, Zhou Qiuyuan had asked Wei Xia if there were any cultivation techniques available for him to practice.

The answer I received was disappointing.

When the Blackwater Sect imparts its techniques and spells, it applies special restrictions, preventing disciples from privately passing on these techniques and spells to outsiders.

If you want to learn the Blackwater Sect's cultivation techniques, you can only go to the Library Pavilion.

After becoming a Dao soldier, Zhou Qiuyuan was given the opportunity to enter the first floor of the library to select cultivation techniques and secret arts. Of course, he wanted to take advantage of the future dream to learn as many techniques and secret arts as possible.

The library is located in the eastern district of the Blackwater Sect, not too far from his residence.

This is a five-story pavilion, where Taoist soldiers and Blackwater Sect disciples can be seen coming and going from time to time.

Zhou Qiuyuan approached the Taoist priest in a blue robe who was on duty at the library and handed over his identity token.

Han Su learned the visitor's identity through the identity token and replied, "Zhou Qiuyuan, you can enter the first floor of the library and choose a cultivation technique and secret art, or you can exchange it for other secret manuals."

Zhou Qiuyuan received a reply before entering the library.

The space inside the attic was much larger than it appeared from the outside, and most of the people on the first floor were Taoist soldiers dressed in gray robes.

The outer disciples in green robes and the inner disciples in black Daoist robes did not linger on the first floor, but went straight to the second floor.

The first floor of bookshelves is neatly arranged, with each area labeled with cultivation techniques and secret arts, and divided into different areas according to the different attributes of the cultivators.

Zhou Qiuyuan arrived at the area marked with thunder with a clear purpose and looked around.

"Yang Lei Transformation", "Zi Ji Lei Shen", "Lei Yuan Tempering Body Technique", "Jing Zhe Transformation"...

The first floor was filled with cultivation techniques for body refiners. Zhou Qiuyuan looked around but couldn't find any books related to immortality cultivation.

Zhou Qiuyuan casually approached a gray-robed Taoist soldier and asked, "Excuse me, sir, are there no cultivation techniques on the first floor?"

The young man was taken aback by what he heard, and gave him a strange look.

"You must be a newly recruited Dao soldier?"

"The first floor contains cultivation techniques and secret skills for body refiners, as well as knowledge of rare and precious materials, elixirs, poisons, artifacts, talismans, and arrays. Most of the Dao soldiers are already at the Vajra Realm and won't change their cultivation methods; they come here mostly for the latter."

"The second floor contains cultivation techniques and spells for immortal cultivators; however, you need Blackwater Sect contributions to exchange for them."

"The only cultivation technique on the first floor is the Guiding Technique, which is located near the second floor. It teaches how to communicate with heaven and earth, draw spiritual energy to build a cultivator's dantian, and only those with spiritual roots can exchange for it."

Zhou Qiuyuan cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you."

He looked towards the second-floor staircase and soon found a book called "Guiding Qigong".

"This method is only for laying the foundation for cultivation; you need to go to the second floor of the library to exchange it for a cultivation technique."

"Those who observe this method should remember that after the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is polluted, one must use the pure spiritual energy from spirit stones, spirit pills or elixirs to lay a foundation."

Zhou Qiuyuan only read half of the content; the rest was subject to special restrictions and could not be viewed.

He stopped practicing his guiding techniques and went to the first floor of the library to study secret arts, rare and precious materials, and general knowledge of elixirs, poisons, weapons, talismans, and arrays.

During this time, he learned many secret techniques of body refiners, which are enough for now.

As someone about to embark on the path of cultivation, Zhou Qiuyuan has only a superficial understanding of the cultivation world. Currently, he only knows about some rare and precious medicinal herbs from the Ji family, and is almost completely ignorant of other information.

The first floor of the library contains information about rare and precious materials. Each time you exchange for a book that records rare and precious materials, you will consume one opportunity to exchange for a cultivation technique or secret skill.

However, this was not a difficult task for Zhou Qiuyuan.

By visiting the library in the future dream every day, one can quickly learn the contents of all the books on the first floor.

Zhou Qiuyuan then took a book called "General Knowledge of All Pills," which recorded the commonly used pills in the cultivation world, and hurriedly left.

Han Su replied, "The knowledge gained within the library must not be circulated privately. This requires the setting up of a protective barrier. Are you willing?"

"If you are unwilling, you may leave on your own after putting down the two manuals."

Zhou Qiuyuan asked, "Will the restrictions affect my cultivation and daily life?"

Han Su, an outer disciple who had been promoted from Dao soldier, was patient enough to answer Zhou Qiuyuan's questions.

"This restriction will not affect your life, but you will lose your speech and forget how to read whenever you leak any information about the secret manual."

"Once this restriction is triggered, the sect will be able to detect it and take action."

"Cultivators do not set up restrictions, but instead make a vow against their inner demons. Once they break the vow, they will find it impossible to make any progress on their cultivation path."
