Chapter 76: Cute girl!

Xie Qing looked at Zhang Mei's confused face with a strange expression. Of course, he was aware of the effects of this belt and could say that it was a good auxiliary item. However, the consequences were serious, especially for a lady like Zhang Mei. He just didn't know how to explain it.But in the end, he decided to lay it all out.

"This item is worth a lot, I found it in my travels. But it has serious consequences," said Xie Qing, cracking his neck. There was a faint smile on his face as he saw Zhang Mei's confusion. "After you've been with it for a day, you'll have a strong reaction... you'll feel unbearable lust, and it will increase if you don't satisfy it."

"..."

Zhang Mei fell silent, her mouth opening in shock, and her cheeks flushed slightly. Finally, Xie Qing noticed this fact and couldn't help but smile at her cute behavior.

"I-I... w-what about your bracelet?" Zhang Mei asked, clearing her throat and changing the subject.

"Bracelet? Hm, after using it for a day, there will be a strong desire... um... to drink," Xie Qing said with a smile. "Not the worst consequences. The effect will wear off after ten liters of spiritual wine."

Even if Zhang Mei always kept a cold face, at this moment, she couldn't help but show a slightly shocked expression. She looked at Xie Qing and raised her eyebrows, comically asking, "Are all your items so abnormal?"

"No..." the young man wanted to object, but then he remembered his items and looked away. "Um... well, almost."

"Good grief..."

Zhang Mei shook her head in disappointment, and Xie Qing just smiled. Although the items were strange, and the price for their use was abnormal, they were bonuses to personal strength.

However, even if that was the case, Zhang Mei was most interested in the unusual symbols and formations on these items. Ordinary human eyes couldn't see them – it required at least pouring Qi into one's eyes.

"One way or another... I think I'll take the bracelet, I guess," Zhang Mei muttered, looking at Xie Qing and naming the price. "At an auction, such an item would sell for 1 million Spiritual Stones. I'll take it for 1.5 million."

"Heheh... now I'm interested."

Xie Qing smiled and nodded. He was starting to like where the conversation was going. He didn't want to sell the belt – it was still effective. The bracelet, on the other hand, had begun to lose its effect since he became stronger.

So selling it to Zhang Mei would be a good choice. She was also a reliable person and an acquaintance of his Master.

"Alright, it's a deal," Xie Qing said, nodding.

Zhang Mei didn't say anything more and, opening the lock on the box took out a spatial ring, which she then threw into Xie Qing's hands.

He, of course, easily caught the ring and, pouring his Qi into it, nearly choked on his saliva when he saw the number of spiritual stones.

"This is enough for me to live comfortably for a hundred years!" he thought and smiled.

"Hah, for your information, this amount wouldn't be enough for a Divine Soul cultivator to even break through one minor realm," Zhang Mei's voice suddenly rang out. She shook her head, seeing the young man's joy. "You should start getting used to such sums. In the future, your heart will bleed from the prices of resources."

Xie Qing awkwardly smiled and nodded, accepting Zhang Mei's advice.

He knew that although a million spiritual stones were a large sum for him at the moment, his future expenses would exceed what he had earned today.

Each cultivation stage was special, and to show one's maximum potential without useful pills and even spiritual items, one needed resources.

"But... Master said that she achieved everything without using pills?" Xie Qing thought, recalling his experience. Apart from a few pills that helped him control his Qi, he didn't take anything else. "It seems we are two abnormal people... hehe, we are finger and thumb."

***

The Knowledge Library was not an exaggeration to say that it was one of the most guarded places in the sect and the most protected.

Each person at the entrance was strictly checked, there was a limited amount of time, and books could not be taken out of the library, which had ten floors. However, the space inside was voluminous and felt more extensive.

"Here is my token," Xie Qing said, standing before two elders.

"Hm... a guest, huh? And... not a simple guest, as I can understand," the elder muttered when he saw the access level higher than usual. He looked the young man up and down and then nodded. "The token is fine.

Do you know the rules?"

"A little. But I would prefer you to repeat them to me, just in case," Xie Qing replied.

"Very well. Then listen, young man," the elder began to speak in a strict tone. "In the library, it is forbidden to use Qi, to take books with you, to copy, to exchange books, to fight, to make noise..."

And the elder's speech did not end there. The rules in the library were very strict, and even talking and transmitting information were not allowed.

Xie Qing just nodded, showing that he understood, although his mind was already in the Heavenly Sword Sect, where he lovingly embraced his Master.

However, the elder himself realized that he had been talking for too long and, blushing slightly, wished the young man good luck.

"Thank you for your help."

Xie Qing bowed and entered, and when the door closed, he sighed in relief.

"I almost went crazy... how can someone talk so much?" Xie Qing wondered, frowning. "I hate chatterboxes... wait, I'm also a chatterbox on one side? So, do I hate myself? No, that's impossible."

Ignoring his self-centered speech, it was worth mentioning the grandeur of the library. Inside, it was enormous. Just enormous!

Bookshelves were set up around the perimeter of the floor, reaching the ceiling. Each shelf had an infinite number of books, and this was not yet the entire collection.

There were even more on the second and third floors. The higher the floor, the more space increased. This was thanks to formations that enlarged the room. It was too complicated to explain everything.

In the end, with the help of advice from other students (although it was forbidden to talk, many girls could not resist and spoke with him), he reached the sixth floor.

However, he encountered an obstacle.

"Halt. You are not wearing a sect student uniform. Who are you?"

A guard in classic armor stopped him. He was here alone – just standing in front of the door.

Although Xie Qing couldn't sense Qi from this man, he felt his intuition screaming about danger.

"Good day. I am a guest who has received elder-level permission," Xie Qing said and showed his token.

"Hm..."

The guard took the token and, checking it for authenticity, nodded, returning it to Xie Qing's hand.

"Very well, enjoy your time."

He said nothing more and opened the door, stepping aside. Xie Qing nodded in gratitude but couldn't help but roll his eyes at such pomp.

It was worth admitting one thing – the library was indeed outstanding. On each floor at the entrance, there was a crystal where you could pour your Qi and think about the desired book.

"Cultivator advancement methods," Xie Qing thought, and in his head, the physical location of the book lit up. "Damn... it's on the very top shelf!"

Xie Qing looked at all the shelves with books, which on this floor were so many that they had to be arranged one after another to fit all the books.

And the book he needed was in the central zone, on the second bookshelf.

Fortunately, there was a ladder, and he was able to reach and take the book.

When Xie Qing finished studying the information he needed, he was a little disappointed. The further cultivation stages were peculiar and required various variables.

In the end, everything came down to one thing – relying on the cultivation technique.

"Although I didn't learn anything particularly new, I got a small idea of the next cultivation stages," the young man thought and shook his head. "In principle, I am satisfied."

Since all the necessary information for today had been studied, all that remained was to leave the library. When he went outside, he was surprised to find that it was already evening.

"Did I sit for so long?" he thought.

And when he was about to leave, there was a cry behind him.

"Young Master Xie Qing!" Sёarch* The ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Surprised, Xie Qing turned 180 degrees and saw Li Yuilan running towards him.

"Miss, don't run like that," Xie Qing said with a smile and approached her.

"Haaa... haaa... I-I'm sorry for... haaa... my unpresentable appearance!" Li Yuilan said, pausing between words. "I heard that you came to the library and rushed to meet you!"

"How kind of you, Miss," Xie Qing nodded and said. "I have already finished my business. Are you busy for the next two hours?"

"Eh? N-no, actually," Li Yuilan said with a pleasant blush on her cheeks.

"Excellent. I very much wanted to walk around the sect, but it turned out that I have no one to help me with this," Xie Qing said with a smile, taking the girl by the hand. "And you are just well acquainted with the sect. Will you help me with this?"

"C-certainly!"

Li Yuilan brightened up after his words, and a bright smile appeared on her face, and her face turned red with excitement. Observing such bright emotions, Xie Qing couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

With bright emotions, he had not yet encountered. Either it was his restrained, slightly passive love affairs Master, or it was girls who did not hide their feelings and were mature enough.

"Does she love me?" Xie Qing wondered, not quite understanding her emotions. "No, not love. Rather, sympathy, I guess. I think it's because of her special ability."

***

Li Yuilan was very active. Moreover, she told a little about herself.

"How do I know where to go? Master Zhang developed a special technique for me that allows me to feel everything within ten meters, so I kind of draw an accurate landscape in my head."

"What are my three sizes? Uh, I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean..."

"My cultivation level? I am at the third stage of Core Formation."

Xie Qing learned a little about her and also shared about himself. Li Yuilan listened to his stories with all her attention and did not miss a single piece of information.

This made the young man smile.

***

The Starry Stream Sect was indeed an interesting place, oriented towards strictness and science. Although the atmosphere was much calmer than in the Heavenly Sword Sect, the true spirit of cultivators was felt here.

After two hours, Li Yuilan was a little tired, and she had to turn off the technique that allowed her to roughly draw the landscape. So Xie Qing offered his help.

"You can lean on me," Xie Qing said, offering his hand.

"Eh... n-no, I don't want to bother you..." Li Yuilan said with embarrassment and a blush on her face.

"You are not bothering me, not at all," Xie Qing said with a smile.

Li Yuilan refused for a few more minutes before Xie Qing convinced her. And so, leaning on Xie Qing's arm, they walked together.

Were there many glances at these two? You're asking. Of course, many were shocked that their desired flower, moreover, the famous saint, could lean on a man like this, and even more so, a stranger to them!

However, even if many of them were jealous, they could not help but admit the fact that Xie Qing's face was smug and much more handsome than theirs, which could not help but become a reason for envy for some guys.

And the girls? Well, they looked like they were about to die from the brightness of these two. Two beautiful people always attract a lot of attention and love, especially when standing together.

Were there students who, out of jealousy, wanted to approach them? Yes, there were such people, but Xie Qing scared them off so that Li Yuilan would not find out.

Their walk was quite calm and quiet. Although it was not something special for the eternally active Xie Qing, he felt a calmness of the soul.

The impatience and warmth that he felt from Li Yuilan were exceptional. Xie Qing felt the smell of her body, felt her touches, and listening to her gentle laughter, he felt like a teenager.

For her age (27 years old), Li Yuilan looked very young. Perhaps this was also due to her height. She barely reached the young man's shoulders with the top of her head.

"She's so cute," the young man thought, seeing that she was trying to stand on tiptoe to seem taller.

Although he wanted to laugh at this fact, he was a gentleman. Even though some time ago he asked about her three sizes.
