After wandering around for a while, Shu Lan found an alchemist's manual and a weapon refiner's manual at a corner.

Shu Lan had no shortage of cultivation techniques and martial arts skills, but she didn't have any particularly outstanding specialties. Seeing these two notebooks, one by an alchemist and the other by a weapon refiner, Shu Lan's mind began to stir.

The manuscripts placed on the top shelf are not ordinary items; they are all treasures to outsiders.

Fortunately, Shu Lan possesses three types of strange fire, perfectly suited for alchemy and weapon crafting. Therefore, becoming an alchemist and weapon crafter seems like a good option.

Thinking of this, Shu Lan picked up the two notebooks and prepared to borrow them from the library.

On the third floor, Qin An slowly moved along the bookshelves. He carried the "Spirit Guiding Technique" given to him by Shu Lan, which contained martial arts techniques. Qin An wasn't lacking in martial arts skills, so he focused his attention on the handbooks.

After thinking for a moment, Qin An decided to go and take a look at the formation area.

Just as Qin An was selecting the manuscripts, he heard some discordant voices.

"Is that our new senior uncle? He doesn't seem that special~"

"Be careful, he's the number one in this entrance selection."

"So what if you're first? What's the point of comparing newly initiated disciples? With such low cultivation, how can you be worthy of being our senior uncles?"

"Be careful! Don't let anyone hear you! Otherwise you're finished!"

"Tch, fine, I know, can't I even say something?"

...

Upon hearing these words, Qin An's hands gradually clenched into fists at his sides.

"I am still too weak. If my cultivation were higher, there wouldn't be these idle gossips. I have disgraced my master. I must cultivate diligently to bring glory to my master and to make myself proud!" Qin An made up his mind, and his gaze became firm.
