  After leaving Teacher Mei's house, it was already afternoon. The sun in the sky was lazy and languid. A person wandered aimlessly in one direction, and after walking for a while, arrived at the entrance of the First Library. Hesitated for a moment, then walked in.

  Tianjiao Academy, the library is a very popular place, and most of the girls sitting here reading books are lovely and beautiful. What's more, their postures while reading are alluring, just like flowers in a garden, with different shapes and sizes, making me feel delighted to watch them.

  Therefore, it's natural that the newly-born male classmates don't need to be mentioned, and some dignified and elegant older brothers will also come here to visit and stroll around, casually holding a book as cover, while their cunning eyes are looking around. I secretly laughed: The intention of the older brothers is not on the books, but on the quiet and beautiful people!

  Of course, this is just a small episode. Since I entered the library, I wouldn't be so bored as to appreciate others' reading postures, no matter how pleasant they are. It's better to read a good book than to watch others read!

  Decided to read a book, of course, I have to find one that's my type. Looking at a bookshelf - history category, what good luck! I like it.

  I walked closer to the history bookshelf and chose a book, as I got closer, a strange and refreshing scent came over. What's that smell? Could it be the legendary "book fragrance"? I couldn't help but wonder, and nodded my head in self-approval, opening up a book titled "A Brief History of the Continent".

  A more intense and strange fragrance wafted up, but after a while it dispersed in the air, becoming lighter and turning into a refreshing scent that clears one's mind. I suddenly realized: what people call "book fragrance" is actually ink fragrance!

  It can be seen that the value of these books lies in the fact that they were all copied by hand, stroke by stroke. I don't know what was added to the ink, but it has this effect, and I must find an opportunity to ask about the principle. This is me, a person with a strong desire for knowledge.

  Holding the book, I walked into the neighboring study room to read. Coming to this strange world for the first time, I still like reading history books. The book describes this unfamiliar yet exciting world, and I finished one in one go.

  This book, being a brief history, doesn't describe things in detail, but it's precisely these vague descriptions that have piqued my endless curiosity. As a result, the desire to read more related books has been born.

  When I stood up, my skeleton crackled and popped, and the classmates around me who were reading books cast sideways glances at me with somewhat accusatory eyes. However, for a moment I couldn't see their accusing looks because at that time I only felt dizzy, and everything in front of me went black; between the spinning sky and earth, my world was blurry for over ten seconds before gradually clearing up. Fortunately, my body was strong enough, so I didn't fall down.

  It seems I was too focused, causing my already fragile eyes to be overwhelmed. The moment I recovered clarity, I found that something was off around me, and the cultivator's intuition is still quite accurate.

  I quickly glanced around and found that the classmates around me were casting various glances at me, why? After thinking for a moment, I knew what all my classmates were thinking. It turned out that I had affected their reading. A little embarrassed, I smiled apologetically at them, and they stopped looking at me and continued to bury their heads in their books.

  When I walked out of the study room, ready to go find some history books that piqued my interest again, it was almost sunset. Time flies so fast, and now it's time for Jing Xiu's training. Jing Xiu is not allowed to be careless, these eyes are precious, and there are many beautiful scenes waiting for me to appreciate.

  It seems that the plan has changed, so I'll borrow a few books to read in my dormitory. So I walked to the circulation desk of the library and asked about the situation. The librarian on duty today was an ordinary-looking auntie, who smiled at me with her plain face as I approached:

  "Classmate, need to borrow books?"

  "Ah, hello Auntie, may I ask, how many books can I borrow at one time to take back to my dormitory? And for how long?" I asked politely.

  "Let me see your student card and I'll help you check."

  "Okay, here you go."

  "Just wait for a moment."

  She took the card and inserted it into a crystal screen of a three-dimensional machine behind her, and the image showed my current rights in the library. I couldn't help but be amazed, I didn't expect such high-tech in another world! This world is getting more and more intriguing to me.

  Eager to learn about this world, reading is an effective way, asked in a hurry:

  "Auntie, have you found it?"

  "Hehe, you kid, what's the hurry? Can't wait to borrow books, huh? You're a good kid indeed."

  Aunt smiled and said, seeing that I was just following her silly smile, she didn't tease me anymore, but told me what I wanted to know:

  "You can now borrow up to three books at a time from libraries one to three, with a loan period of three months."

  "Uh-huh, thank you Auntie, I'm going to choose some books."

  "Go ahead."

  Before long, I came to the workbench with three thick history books in my arms and smiled:

  "Auntie, I'd like to borrow these three books, could you please register them for me?"

  "Hehe, pretty fast!"

  The duty officer aunt took over the three books, swayed them in front of the 3D machine with my student card inserted, and then returned the card to me along with it. With my spiritual awareness fully open, I was able to see a bit of the trick this time - as the duty officer aunt swayed the books, she had already used energy to input the information of the three books into the machine.

  It was so simple, what surprised me was that the aunt's cultivation at the front desk had already reached the initial stage of senior instructor. A small front desk staff had such a high level of cultivation, which shows how deep the foundation of Tianjiao Academy is!

  Just as I was surprised, Auntie smiled and said:

  "Kid, what's wrong? Are you surprised that I just swiped and entered the information of three books into the borrowing system? Hehe, don't be envious, when your skills reach a certain level, you'll understand."

  "Uh-huh, I understand, thank you Auntie for your guidance!"

  I quickly nodded and took over the book and student card, put them into the space watch, and was about to leave. But then I heard Auntie's voice coming from behind:

  "Kid, I can tell you're a good kid. Let me share a secret with you: the further back the library is numbered, the more exciting the books are! If you want to read great books, you have to work hard!"

  I turned back and looked at the duty officer with gratitude, thanked her again, waved goodbye and went to practice.

  It got dark and I just returned to the dormitory, greeted my little buddies, and then plunged into reading.

  However, although there are night pearls illuminating the dormitory, for someone with poor eyesight, reading under such lighting is simply too strenuous. The strain is a minor issue; as the time spent reading increases, one can clearly feel their eyesight being greatly affected and worsening.

  I immediately stopped reading, for it is not worth hurting one's eyes for the sake of reading: Reading is easy, but recovering one's sight is difficult; cherish your eyes while you can!

  I recalled a popular phrase on Earth, but giving up like this is unbearable for someone with an insatiable thirst for knowledge like me. It's like a hunter seeing prey but unable to take action, it's so frustrating!

  Then try to sleep through it, don't think about these annoying things. But somehow can't fall asleep, tossing and turning, even resorting to thinking deeply about how to solve this annoyance.

  Suddenly it dawned on me: if consciousness can replace eyes to see the world, then can't it also replace eyes to read books?

  Think of doing it, close your eyes, and scan the book with your mind. You can indeed see it. Suddenly overjoyed, no longer hesitant, read on word by word, sentence by sentence.

  Just as my consciousness was reading the book, something unexpected happened. The divine brush in my dantian was waving rapidly, and with its waves, dense tiny characters appeared on a certain page of my life's treasure book "Kaituo".

  By exercising my inner vision, I found that those small characters were the content I had read before; and now "Kaizhan" is no longer a blank book, but a comprehensive book containing Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and the thoughts of various schools, as well as the essence of Eastern and Western classics, and even all my memories on Earth.

  I took a rough look, thinking I could read whatever I wanted, and was amazed to the point of being stunned - wasn't I carrying around a high-quality library with me all along?

  It's worth mentioning that Da Bi and "Kai Tu" have become more solid, and it's estimated that after another two or three days of tempering, they will reach the hardness level of a Cong Jian Shen Bing.

  In just one week, from nothing to something and then to a solid level, if others were to know that I cultivated a divine soldier so quickly, they would probably go crazy and shout: What kind of freak is this!

  What makes me happiest is that the divine sense can read books, which not only solves the problem of damaging my eyesight but also reduces the impact of external influences; most importantly, as I invest more in the divine sense, my reading speed becomes faster.

  And the books I've read, all recorded in "Kaituo" with great care, can feel that they are growing slowly in this process, it's really a good thing to achieve multiple goals at once!

  It didn't take long for me to finish the three books, and I satisfied a lot of my curiosity. Feeling contented, I fell asleep and even had a beautiful dream:

  I use divine insight to read books, and have read through all the books in the world, becoming the most knowledgeable person in the entire universe! Peach blossoms fill the sky!
