After clarifying his thoughts, Chu Fan immediately took action and rushed towards the library.
The library of the Zhenwu Sect is divided into nine floors. The higher the level, the higher the authority required. Generally, outer disciples can only read the books on the first and second floors. Chu Fan, because of Elder Linghu’s relationship,
So you can read the books on the first three floors.
After reaching the fourth level, formal inner disciples are required to read it.
Chu Fan was more familiar with the first three floors of the library than the disciples who managed it. He almost closed his eyes and came to a bookshelf on the third floor.
His fingertips traced the neat spines of the books one by one, and he quickly locked on two of them.
After flipping through it roughly, he nodded secretly: "Yes, this book "Ancient Prescriptions" is what I'm looking for, as is this "Essay on Alchemy".
After registering a loan with the disciple in charge, he left the library and came to a small courtyard next to the library.
After saluting the old man who was sitting in the yard reading a book, Chu Fan said, "Elder Linghu, I'm here to return the mountain compass."
The old man in the yard was none other than Elder Linghu. He closed the book and glanced at Chu Fan: "I knew you wouldn't get into trouble easily!"
"I miss you so much!"
Chu Fan handed over the mountain viewing compass, and then handed over the weather records of the mountains near Fallen Immortal Valley that he had promised to make for Elder Linghu.
Elder Linghu said: "You've come back just in time. I just found an ancient book a few days ago. It's about mountains. You must be interested!"
Chu Fan shook his head.
Elder Linghu looked puzzled.
After thinking about his words, Chu Fan said: "Elder Linghu, I'm sorry, I may not have much time to come here in the future. I want to improve my cultivation."
Elder Linghu took a deep look at Chu Fan and immediately laughed heartily: "Okay, you woke up earlier than this bad old man like me!"
"Well?"
Chu Fan was confused instead.
Elder Linghu said with emotion: "I was just like you back then. I was distracted too much and dabbled in too many things. I thought I was extremely smart, but I wasted my years. You are still young. It's not too late to wake up now!"
"I'm not too distracted. I've been concentrating on getting the magic weapon!"
Chu Fan defended silently in his heart.
Suddenly, Elder Linghu changed the topic: "But you are you, there is no need to compare with anyone, the way of practice is to never be impatient!"
Although he didn't understand why Elder Linghu was suddenly so serious, Chu Fan still nodded seriously: "Thank you for your teaching!"
Then he bowed sincerely, then turned and left.
Looking at Chu Fan's leaving figure, Elder Linghu sighed: "Silly boy, please don't give birth to an inner demon comparable to Chu Chen's!"
After returning from the library, Chu Fan found his friend Zhang Shan wandering outside his house, so he stepped forward and said, "Senior Brother Zhang!"
Zhang Shan asked eagerly: "Where did you go that night? We searched all over the area but couldn't find you. I thought you..."
Chu Fan repeated his previous explanation for dealing with Law Enforcement Peak, to the effect that he was targeted by an evil sect disciple, ran for his life, and then got lost in the mountains.
"Just come back. I'll go and tear down your tomb! Oh, I've wasted money again!"
Zhang Shan said, shaking his head and walking out.
"..." Chu Fan was speechless for a while, then he thought about it and called Zhang Shan: "Senior Brother Zhang, wait a minute, let's discuss it!"
"Sparring?!" Zhang Shan looked at Chu Fan with a strange expression and said, "Didn't you hate sparring the most before?"
Chu Fan explained casually: "I just want to try my skills."
"No problem!" Zhang Shan walked to the open space aside and took a stance, then waved to Chu Fan: "Junior Brother Chu, come on!"
Chu Fan narrowed his eyes, and without any nonsense, he used the move of "Looking at the Mountains and Viewing the Mountains" and hit Zhang Shan.
Zhang Shan ducked down and not only easily avoided Chu Fan's palm, but also pointed at an acupuncture point under Chu Fan's ribs.
Seeing this, Chu Fan quickly closed his palm, trying to block Zhang Shan's pointing finger, but at this moment, Zhang Shan's finger that had not been pointed out clenched into a fist, taking advantage of Chu Fan's haste to close his palm.
At this moment, a punch came over, and Chu Fan was knocked back with a bang.
He kicked and glared... and took seven or eight steps back before Chu Fan stabilized his figure.
"Lost?"
Chu Fan is still a little uncomfortable here.
Zhang Shan, who was on the opposite side, said softly: "Hey, Junior Brother Chu, your aura just now is completely different from before! I was almost shocked by your aura!"
Chu Fan asked: "Senior Brother Zhang, I remember that you have the Five Apertures cultivation level, right?"
Zhang Shan replied: "Not bad!"
After thinking about it, Chu Fan asked again: "Except for the upper courtyard on the top of the mountain, are there many people in the three lower courtyards on Taihe Peak who can beat you?"
"Of course not many!" After a pause, Zhang Shan said: "Let me do the math, except for Senior Brother Chen, Senior Sister Xu, Senior Brother Wu, Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Big and Little Wang, Senior Sister Liu..."
Seeing Zhang Shan reciting dozens of names in a row and showing signs of continuing, Chu Fan quickly stopped: "Stop, stop, stop, tell me what your ranking is in our Lower House!"
Zhang Shan smiled to himself: "Junior Brother Chu, do you really want me to tell you?"
Chu Fan nodded.
Zhang Shan stood up and said: "I am not talented, my ranking in the courtyard this month is 392!"
Seeing Zhang Shan's expression of waiting to be complimented, Chu Fan scratched his head: "Isn't there only more than 500 people in our hospital?"
Zhang Shan corrected him: "Many fellow disciples were killed and injured this time, and there are only about 490 people left in our hospital."
"There are more than four hundred people, and you are ranked 390, then...then what are you proud of?"
After saying that, Chu Fan covered his face with his hands because he remembered that he had just been defeated by Zhang Shan's move.
Zhang Shan asked curiously: "Junior Brother Chu, why do you suddenly care about these things? Weren't you not interested in these things before?"
After gathering his emotions, Chu Fan said: "I want to enter the Upper Court and become an inner disciple!"
"What?!" Zhang Shan was stunned for a moment and said, "There are only more than three months left before this year's inner sect assessment. It's too late!"
In the Zhenwu Sect, if you want to participate in the inner sect assessment, you must obtain a top ten seat in the respective lower house, and Chu Fan's ranking has always been among the bottom few.
"What I want to do will definitely be accomplished!" After saying that, Chu Fan thanked Zhang Shan again: "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang, for your guidance just now."
Zhang Shan hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but said: "Xiaofan, we have been friends for eighty or nine years, take my advice, forget it, why bother competing with him?"
Chu Fan's face was full of confusion. Elder Linghu also spoke strangely before.
Zhang Shan said: "You don't know? Your brother defeated Bai Muxian in the true inheritance test and has become a true inheritance disciple!"
"Really..."
Chu Fan acted very calmly. He really didn't pay much attention to this matter before.
Zhang Shan thought to himself and sighed: "Bai Muxian is a master on the ranking list. Your brother actually beat him. What a monster! You didn't care before, so why bother competing with him now?"
You only have three orifices now, and you have at least six orifices to enter the inner sect. Three months is not enough, so don’t embarrass yourself."
Only then did Chu Fan realize that Elder Linghu and Zhang Shan had misunderstood.
But he didn't explain it. On the contrary, he felt that being stimulated by his younger brother and suddenly wanting to improve his cultivation was a good cover.
"Three months...enough!"
Chu Fan walked towards his house.
Zhang Shan shouted: "Your brother is a monster!"
Chu Fan stopped, turned around and smiled: "Me too!"
