Chapter 149: Memory Wand Upgrade!
Rare item, Universal Upgrade Scroll!
Su Ping had obtained one when he upgraded the Grotto-Heaven in the pot and unlocked the Traveling Merchant.
After obtaining this item, Su Ping didn't hesitate much.
He continued to smash it onto the Memory Wand.
As for the Fire Knight, who was also of rare grade, he would have to continue waiting in line.
Suddenly, as the Memory Wand emitted golden light, the cooldown time remained unchanged, but the number of memory illusions changed from one to two.
As long as Su Ping could multitask, he could make two companions appear outside the Grotto-Heaven in the pot at the same time.
If he added his original body, he could form a team of three!
The practicality undoubtedly received a significant boost.
Su Ping revealed a smile.
He immediately tested the new ability of the Memory Wand in the front yard of the Chao Yue Ting Feng Pavilion.
Suddenly, a memory illusion of a Fire Knight and a Demon Mage appeared in front of Su Ping at the same time.
Then, these two memory illusions began to fight each other, from the ground to the sky, and from the sky to another mountain peak.
The thunderous noise they created was so loud that it even attracted the attention of Zhou Xuan and others.
After a few minutes, Su Ping had enough fun and shifted his gaze to the ancient and dilapidated main building, the Grand Library.
He first went to the second mountain peak and removed the Dreamlike Temple.
Then he summoned this new main building.
Suddenly, a stone Grand Library, built with white boulders and resembling the Alexander Library in games, appeared.
After successfully placing it, Su Ping walked in.
As soon as Su Ping entered, as the owner, he sensed the information of the Grand Library.
The Grand Library currently had one master bedroom and twelve guest lounges.
There were three large book areas and twenty-four small reading areas in total.
Reading in the reading areas could slightly enhance concentration and comprehension.
The first condition for upgrading was to find enough books to fill at least eighty percent of the empty bookshelves in the book area, which currently had no books at all.
It seemed like just finding books to fill the library, but there were actually many conditions and restrictions. Not just any random children's book or self-written book could meet the requirements.
They had to be genuine, recognized by a certain amount of intelligent life and read seriously.
Moreover, there were also different requirements for the types of books, such as cultural history, natural science, astronomy and geography, extraordinary mysteries, each category had different subtle differences in requirements.
After carefully understanding the requirements, Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he had the resources of two worlds at his disposal.
The upgrade requirements for this grand library are a bit complicated, but it shouldn't be a problem for me to meet these conditions!
Su Ping first took out the books from the cultivation world.
He also had the cat girl and the rabbit girls put down their work and come to this grand library as temporary librarians.
After returning to the Water Blue Star, he directly instructed Huang Zong and the other five to buy all the books from the nearby cities' libraries.
And if that wasn't enough, he directly went to the domestic second-hand book market to buy more.
In just a few days, this ancient grand library was filled with cultural treasures from the Water Blue Star.
Soon, except for the Transcendent and Mysterious section, the other sections of the library had reached over ninety percent of their book capacity.
Su Ping tried throwing in some cultivation novels and found that they were classified as miscellaneous books.
He couldn't take shortcuts, so Su Ping had no choice but to give up.
"It seems that I have to find genuine works."
"Fortunately, it also recognizes books from the side paths."
"As for the martial arts techniques, as long as they can theoretically reach the Qi Refining first or second level, there is a chance they will be included."
"Hmm... I'll continue to use my Foundation Building cultivation to memorize these side path techniques and martial arts techniques from various scripture halls, and then copy them to fill the library?"
With this thought in mind, Su Ping returned to the cultivation world.
Jiuye Mountain Market.
In the past few days, Su Ping had hardly left the market except for the fishing trip to the Cold Moon Lake.
He appeared very low-key in front of others.
Besides cultivation, his recent interest and hobby suddenly became collecting side path techniques and various martial arts techniques.
After this hobby was exposed.
It immediately attracted the attention of the wealthy families who sent people to actively send martial arts techniques that suited his interests.
Then, one of the families that sent the most martial arts techniques was actually personally summoned by this Foundation Building cultivator from Jiuye Mountain Market.
Not only did he bestow a divine consciousness wooden plaque, but he also promised him the management rights of a newly developed block at the foot of the mountain and gave him a bottle of elixir.
Although it was only a medium-grade elixir.
For the wealthy families among ordinary people, it was still a great favor.
With this precedent, even the wealthy families from hundreds of miles away were tempted and sent their trusted aides with copies of their family's book collections to try their luck.
Su Ping welcomed all these visitors and rewarded them according to the quality of the books.
He even recruited a few diligent people from the Ji family and had them work with the Eastern steward to make a list.
The techniques listed in the table were naturally not accepted, at most, they were given some travel expenses.
As for the techniques not listed in the table, they were rewarded according to the level they could theoretically cultivate to.
If a large number of techniques were provided at once, they could even receive additional rewards.
As for side path techniques above martial arts and even legitimate cultivation techniques.
There was basically no chance of receiving new goods from the common people.
As for the popular goods that the scattered cultivators know, Su Ping had already obtained them and sent them to the Great Library.
On this day, Su Ping received a letter from Little Mu Zhenren of Yunshan Fangshi.
It turned out that the Yunshan Exchange Meeting had to be temporarily suspended due to certain reasons.
Su Ping was not surprised by this.
Although the incident at the Jinquan Bai Family seemed unusually calm, it didn't mean that everyone could treat it as if nothing had happened.
Especially since the Eye of the Evil God appeared that day.
Every cultivator who witnessed that scene was affected to varying degrees.
Those with flaws in their spiritual souls were likely to experience unstable mental states and other abnormalities.
At the same time, it was also noticed that the evil cultivators had even infiltrated an old and prestigious cultivation family.
Needless to say, all the families in this area would conduct a thorough investigation.
Su Ping also learned some information from others.
He learned that for some unknown reason, the important figures above had chosen not to investigate the red-haired sword cultivator who suddenly appeared and saved everyone present.
They warned their clansmen to be careful of a white-haired youth and not to offend the red-haired sword cultivator!
After the incident at the Jinquan Bai Family, the Song Family of the Cultivator Alliance naturally became a key target of investigation.
Then the ancestor of the Song Family, a ruthless person, directly stood up and admitted his collusion with the Black Abyss Sect.
But he himself was not an evil cultivator!
Afterwards, as the ancestor destroyed his own cultivation in front of everyone and voluntarily became a captive of the investigation team led by the Qixin Sect, the Foundation Building cultivators of the Qixin Sect used the Exorcism Mirror to inspect all the members of the Song Family and found no evil energy or demonic power.
After taking away the ancestor of the Song Family and the direct descendants, they turned and left the residence of the Cultivator Alliance.
The Song Family, one of the three giants of the Cultivator Alliance, declined and was no longer a pillar of the alliance.
However, with the support of the remaining two Foundation Building cultivators and the separation from the ancestor, they didn't immediately fall to the bottom, becoming vulnerable to anyone's bullying.
Although the Cultivator Alliance didn't encounter a major incident.
In these few days, the power of the Black Abyss Sect also emerged in other areas.
The plan in Jinquan City did indeed fail.
But their plans in several other more distant areas were successful.
Rumors spread that a city larger than Jinque City had an incarnation of an evil god.
There were even a few small Fangshi cities that were successfully blood-sacrificed!
Although later, with the arrival of several Gold Core cultivators from other sects, they forcefully cleaned up the mess.
Those areas had already turned into dangerous regions infested with evil spirits, where people should not approach.
As a result, the surrounding cultivation families had to abandon their foundations overnight and flee their hometowns.
Even Jiuye Mountain accepted branches of several small families as a result.
This gradually increased the number of available cultivators, making it no longer as difficult as before to find a mid-level Qi Refining cultivator to manage affairs.
Then, Su Ping, as a Foundation Building cultivator, received news of a major event caused by the Black Abyss Sect not long after.
He received a letter from the Qixin Sect.
Along with the letter, he also received a demon-expelling treasure mirror as a gift from them, and was assigned several tasks to patrol and deal with demonic cultivators.
Su Ping did not refuse this.
Those places were all near Jiuye Mountain and Jinque City.
To ensure the safety of the residence, if there were any real problems, Su Ping would investigate and handle them.
After the incident at the Jinquan Bai family, Foundation Building cultivators in this area were also on edge.
In dealing with the suppression of demonic cultivators, a consensus had been reached.
If Su Ping were to refuse this simple task, he would be suspected of having ties with demonic cultivators.
So, on the second day after receiving the demon-expelling treasure mirror, Su Ping flew into the air and flew over several suspected locations of demonic cultivators.
Along the way, he infused mana to ensure that the treasure mirror was in an activated state, shining on the ground.
Once it detected demonic energy, the treasure mirror would give a warning.
At the same time, the movement and usage of the treasure mirror would be recorded synchronously by the Qixin Sect.
This ensured that those Foundation Building cultivators who they couldn't control would not just agree but not take action.
Su Ping was busy all morning and completed the exploration of all the areas.
No demonic cultivators were found, but he did find a few troublemakers who practiced unorthodox methods and harmed others.
After discovering them, Su Ping easily eliminated them and took away the items that harmed others from them.
Then, he returned to Jiuye Mountain's market and hung the demon-expelling treasure mirror in the Wanbao Tower as a warding spirit object.
With a movement of his divine sense, he heard someone in the teahouse in the market inciting wandering cultivators to go to the northern region to make a fortune by causing trouble.
Su Ping's first reaction was that demonic cultivators had infiltrated?
Upon closer listening, Su Ping realized that he had overthought it. This should be a new opportunity that arose with the changing environment.
Because of the hasty migration, many cultivation families only brought money and precious inheritances with them.
Many unimportant or difficult-to-carry-away buildings were left behind with valuable decorations, various low-level spiritual rice and materials that couldn't be harvested in time, as well as a large number of family-owned or personal antiques, collections, and books, all left behind in the residence.
Of course, these things were not worth risking their lives to go back for.
But it was different for wandering cultivators.
Compared to causing trouble... they were more afraid of poverty.
And usually, the hosts were also entrusted by those family members, hoping to find someone to retrieve some items that held different meanings for them.
As a result, they were not aimlessly wandering like flies.
Instead, they had targets, maps, and even reward-based search missions!
