"Hello, please stay. This library charges a fee of 100,000 Tongbao per person per hour." A doorman in white stopped Long Junhai and the other two at the door.
"Oh? So expensive!"
Long Junhai frowned. He only had 300,000 Tongbao coins on him now. If he spent all of them, it would only be enough for each of them to go in and read the books for an hour. Isn't this too much of a rip-off?
"You must be joking. No one in the entire Tang Empire has ever said that our fees are expensive. I guess you are outsiders, right? This price is set by our Tang Emperor himself, and it is already affordable enough. If we charge according to the real price, I am afraid the fee will be at least a hundred times higher! Even so, our Tiandao Library receives more than 10,000 visitors every day. This is the highest-standard library in the country and the only Tiandao Library. The word Tiandao alone is unmatched by any other library." The doorman said with a smile.
"Husband, why don't you go in by yourself? We can just stroll around the shops outside and come back here when we have money in the future." Wan Qingsi said with a smile.
Long Junhai nodded, then said, "That's fine. After all, I can't end up without a place to stay just to read for an hour. You guys go shopping first, and I'll come find you later."
"Then we'll leave first." Wan Qingsi and Bai Ruofei left immediately. They didn't want Long Junhai to spend such a high amount of money on them. Anyway, they were not in a hurry to improve their strength too much. Their current level was already very good.
Long Junhai entered the Tiandao Library alone. After paying the fee, he was led into the inner hall by a doorman. This was a huge library with at least hundreds of floors, filled with all kinds of books. There were also many people here, at least tens of thousands of people. It seemed that what the doorman said before was not a lie.
The people here were all dressed in luxurious clothes and adorned with jewels. The hall was particularly quiet. Everyone was looking for the books they wanted, or holding books and reading with relish. This learning atmosphere made it difficult for Long Junhai to associate it with the word "Heavenly Way". He wondered if this was the way the people of the Tang Dynasty practiced?
Because there was no one to introduce it, Long Junhai could only look at the classification of books first.
The books on the first level are all general introductions to miscellaneous subjects covering a wide range of subjects, from early childhood education to the philosophy of life, from discussions of classics and history to collections of unofficial history and miscellaneous talks, from astronomy and geography to the four seasons and six qi. Basically, everything you can think of is included, but they are all introductory introductions without any main text content.
The second layer contains introductory content, which is divided into different categories. The third layer contains relatively advanced content, which is difficult for most people to learn.
Starting from the fourth level, all the contents belong to the essence of the chapters. Every sentence needs to be carefully considered to understand it, otherwise it will be impossible to proceed.
Starting from the fourth level, the content of the books becomes more and more numerous and detailed. Each level is like a step. If you want to reach the top, you must first understand the content of the books on each level below.
Long Junhai took a quick look at the contents of the first ten floors and had a general understanding in his mind. From the tenth floor upwards, there were basically not so many people. The higher you go, the fewer people there are. Starting from the 100th floor, it is completely empty. This shows that the people who come here to read can basically only reach the level of the first 100 floors. To go higher, you must have that kind of strength.
Long Junhai discovered that the cultivators below the tenth floor were basically at the level of Earth Immortals, those from the tenth to the fiftieth floor were mostly at the level of Heavenly Immortals, those from the fiftieth to the one hundredth floor were Golden Immortal masters, and those beyond the one hundredth floor were probably what the Profound Immortals had to learn, otherwise it would be impossible for no one to set foot here. At least Long Junhai didn't see any Profound Immortal masters here now.
However, the people of the Tang Dynasty here get along with each other relatively harmoniously. At least the Golden Immortal masters are not so arrogant, and the Earth Immortal and Mortal Immortal masters do not live like ants. The gap between people is not too big. The levels here are divided not by strength, but by wealth, because in the Tang Dynasty, there is basically nothing that cannot be done with money. As long as you have enough wealth, even a mortal can pay a Xuanxian or even a Saint Daozu to help you.
After Long Junhai had a rough understanding of the Tiandao Library, he immediately looked for history books to read. Because he was looking for elementary content, the books on the first floor were enough to answer his doubts.
Long Junhai picked up a brief history of the Tang Dynasty and read it. As soon as he opened the first page, he was overwhelmed by a strong sense of history.
In the beginning of the ancient times, Emperor Taizong raised his army at Mount Buzhou, conquered the Five Mountains, pacified the four seas, repelled the barbarians, and pacified the nine provinces. His achievements shook the world and established an immortal monument. The country was named the Great Tang, and Heaven appointed him the Jade Emperor.
Although this history book is a written record, it makes Long Junhai feel as if he has personally experienced the heroic events of Emperor Taizong's founding of the empire. It is thrilling and exciting, and it is more unforgettable than being branded in the soul. Just based on this point, Long Junhai feels that this kind of book is more powerful than the jade slips!
While the jade slips conveyed comprehensive information, they were too rigid, merely imprinted within the soul's memory and unable to stimulate the power of one's imagination. Imagination is a fundamental ability for developing potential, and only with sufficient imagination can one unleash even greater power. Furthermore, the power of the Tang Empire's writing was truly formidable! It felt as if a single word could truly hold the nation in thrall!
Long Junhai felt that the Tang Dynasty was more and more mysterious. He put down the Brief History of the Tang Dynasty in his hand, because it probably did not contain the content he wanted. What he wanted was the history of the cultivation of the people of the Tang Dynasty, which should exist in books such as unofficial history and miscellaneous talks.
Long Junhai browsed for a long time before he found a book of miscellaneous talks introducing personal cultivation. There was an article in it that made Long Junhai find what he was looking for at once!
"In the beginning of the ancient times, heroes emerged from all over the world. However, the immortal world was in turmoil and disasters, and the people were living in misery. Only strength could exchange for a chance of survival. Taizong's civil and military achievements were unparalleled. His immortal magic was comparable to the stars, Wenqu regulated the nine provinces, and the people cultivated their destiny..."
Long Junhai stared at the word "luck" with a frown on his face, and immediately an image of a magical purple gas appeared in his mind. This should be the luck mentioned in the book!
Then Long Junhai had a direction, and he began to look for books describing luck.
Because everyone in the Tang Empire cultivates luck, there are quite a few books about luck. However, Long Junhai searched carefully over and over again, but found that the books about luck were only on the first floor. From the second floor onwards, he could not find any books about luck, and the books on the first floor were all similar.
