Chapter Sixteen: The Library Chamber

  After glancing at the notice posted on the dormitory door, Gu Chao sank into a brief contemplation in his mind and decided to go to the library.

  Xin Xue Mountain Villa is divided into a living area and a training area. In the training area, in addition to the training room, challenge platform, and square, there is also a library. The library has many books, such as "Zhou Yi Tong Can Qi" and "Zhou Yi Da Tong Jing", which introduce the content of Zhou Yi. Since Nan Gong Yuan only teaches Zhou Yi once a week, if you are interested in studying it during your free time, you can borrow books from here to take a look. There is also "Da Qi Empire Situation Spectrum", which explains the general situation of the Da Qi Empire in detail, including how many golden-level sects, silver-level sects, and bronze-level sects there are. Additionally, there are two more books: "Tai Shan Basic 72 Road Knife Method" and "Tai Shan Yuan Qi Gong".

  In the study, there are several hundred books scattered about, not many, but each one is very practical.

  The purpose of going to the library is actually to see if you can use the knowledge in those books to help yourself achieve victory.

  My past self was accustomed to using knowledge to change the course of events and win victories.

  And this life also wants so, knowledge will never be useless.

  Military force is indeed very important. However, military force is not the only thing in this world, which was originally a colorful and diverse world, with alliances, strategies, martial arts, medicine and poison, and so on.

  There is an old man standing at the entrance of the study room.

  Gu Chao took out the token representing his identity, which was about the size of a palm. On the front side were the two characters "Tai Shan", and below them were the small characters "Outer Gate". On the back side was a majestic mountain range, with a number at the bottom. Gu Chao suspected that this number was his serial number as an Outer Gate disciple. With this numbering system, everything was clear and organized. As a large sect, Tai Shan Sect's internal organization was actually very precise. This kind of internally strong and powerful sect could burst out with extremely strong power once it started operating.

  "Come in." The old gatekeeper, who was already quite old, took a glance at Gu Chao's token and returned it to him, allowing him to enter the library.

  Gu Chao entered the library, not for the first time. The library was not large, only a few dozen square meters, with several bookshelves, on which were scattered a few hundred books.

  Looking at the hundreds of books inside, Gu Chao casually pulled out one and flipped through it. This one was "Wound Treatment". Simply put, it's about how to treat wounds. It can be broadly classified into four categories: The first category is external injuries, mainly treated with golden wound medicine and bandages. The second category is internal injuries, which are much more troublesome, many of which require slow nursing. The third is toxic injuries, once poisoned, the wound must be immediately cleaned, even if it means cutting off the poisoned area, this is called "cutting off the wrist". The fourth category includes some special types of injuries.

  "Wound Treatment" was a subject that Nan Gong Yuan, the elder, had specially taught to the sixty-one outer disciples of New Snow Mountain Villa, explaining several simple treatment methods.

  Gu Cha flipped through "Wound Treatment" casually and found it useless, so he put "Wound Treatment" back on the bookshelf.

  Then he pulled out another book, the cover of which was very atmospheric, "The Wind and Clouds of the Great Qi Empire". He flipped through it casually and found that it was about the history of the Great Qi State. For example, when the Marquis of Qi, Jiang Gong, established the Great Qi Empire, and then the Tian family replaced the Qi family. One hundred years ago, the demonic door of the Great Qi Empire's golden rank, the Emperor's Gate, was said to be the descendant of the Jiang family. Of course, one hundred years ago, there was a great war between the righteous and evil paths, and in the end, the righteous path eliminated the evil path, and from then on, the evil path disappeared without a trace. The history of the Great Qi Empire is very interesting, but it's not useful to him now.

  Gu Chao took out a few more books, each with its own content and interest, but none of them were useful to Gu Chao now.

  Gu Chao pulled out another book, the cover of which was quite interesting. On the cover were painted many monsters and beasts, all sorts of them. Some had wings on their backs, some had flames all over their bodies, some wore thick fur, and some had extremely sharp horns. Gu Chao had been in this world for five months now, so he naturally knew that this world was very different from the Earth of his previous life. This world had martial arts, wooden puppets, and monsters.

  In this world, tigers, bears and whales have already taken their seats at the highest point of normal animals.

  Then upwards, it began to be all sorts of demonic beasts. These demonic beasts, some were normal animals that absorbed the heaven and earth's primordial energy to evolve, some were inherited through ancestral bloodlines. It was said that in ancient times, there were all sorts of powerful demonic beasts, these demonic beasts' strength could compare with gods. Only as time passed, the descendants of these demonic beasts became weaker and weaker.

  Yao beasts can also be broadly divided into nine levels.

  Among them, the first-level demon beast is roughly equivalent to the strength of a human's acquired realm three layers to seven layers.

  Second-level demon beasts are equivalent to the strength of a human's acquired realm eight layers to innate realm four layers, and the later the demon beast is, the stronger it is.

  The name of the book is "Yao Shou Tu Jian, Volume I". Gu Chao opened the book and read the preface: "Yao Shou Tu Jian has three volumes, upper, middle and lower. It describes all the yao shous in the world. The first volume only describes the yao shous of the Tai Shan Sect." As Gu Chao flipped through Yao Shou Tu Jian, Volume I, he found that it recorded some yao shous of the Tai Shan Sect. Even a small number of yao shous were marked with possible locations and their characteristics.

  As he watched, an inspiration suddenly appeared in Gu Chao's mind.

  In "Yao Shou Tu Jian" Volume 1, it is indicated that a very small number of Yao Shou may appear in certain locations, as well as their characteristics.

  Can I take advantage of this?

  Knowing the approximate location of the demon beast's appearance, knowing the characteristics of the demon beast, and utilizing them during battle. Then, during battle, one can hone their martial skills, and if they can slay the demon beast and obtain its skin or other materials, they can sell these materials to earn some silver coins, which can be used to purchase medicine to enhance their internal strength.

  It's actually a very simple thing, how didn't I discover it before?

  No, last time a month ago when I came to the Cangshu Pavilion, this position on the bookshelf clearly didn't have this book. Gu Chao's memory is extremely good, his brain's memories told him that there was no such book here last time, so it's certain that there was no such book, his own memories can't be wrong.

  There is only one possibility, looking at the somewhat empty bookshelves, Gu Chao suddenly realized that the official Taishan school didn't bring many books at first because they wanted the outer door disciples to practice step by step. Now, estimating that the strength of the outer door disciples can basically enter the mountain for practice, they have recently moved some relevant books in to help the many outer door disciples enter the mountain for practice.

  It is said that Murong Ying had entered the mountain to start cultivating and tempering himself early on, but most of the outer disciples of Xue Shan Manor basically only started entering the mountain this month.

  Gǔ Chāo had an idea in his mind, so he took this book to the old gatekeeper: "Can I borrow this book?"

  "No." The old man directly refused: "However, I can give you a copy." He took out a four-foot square box, opened the box inside with countless small stone carvings of words, leaving a space in the center that could hold a book. Then the old man put the book in the center and pressed a button in the center. Suddenly, the countless small stone carvings of words on the side flew wildly and quickly in a certain order. After a moment, a brand new "Yao Shou Tu Jian Upper Volume" was handed over to Gu Chao's hands. This is the technique of rubbing, the unique technique of rubbing in this world. The speed of rubbing is quite fast, although not as fast as the copier in the previous life, but also very fast.

  Gu Chao held the newly printed "Yao Shou Tu Jian, Volume 1" in his hands and thought to himself that he could set off after studying this book a bit more.

  Set off later and enter the mountain.

  To enhance one's strength in the mountains.

  The previous failure will be my last failure.

  Later on, I must win whenever I take an exam, and for the year-end mid-term exams two and a half months later, I definitely cannot lose.

  Bring out the momentum, what I pursue is victory! Victory! Or victory! Simple victory!

  Today's first update is here, continuing to ask for collection and recommendation votes. The new book chart competition is fierce, asking everyone for firepower support.
