"Dad, please clear out the third floor. Put some high-level skills there. I'll send some to you before dinner. But if we do that, we'll have to find someone to guard the library. You can give him an appropriate amount of spirit stones as a reward every month." Sang Jin suggested.
"Okay, let's do as Xiaojin said. I'll go talk to your grandfather about this." After saying this, Sang Mu ran to Old Man Sang's mansion next door.
After finishing her meal, Sang Jin returned to her courtyard. She quickly went to the secret realm.
"Playmate, are you looking for me?" Bai Jingjing appeared in front of Sang Jin in a flash.
"Bai Jingjing, I came in today to ask for Mr. Li's help. Have you seen him?" Sang Jin didn't sense Mr. Li's presence. It was strange, because usually when she came in, Mr. Li would whisper in her ear and chatter non-stop.
"He's become autistic. I don't know where he's possessed." Bai Jingjing spread her hands, indicating that it was none of her business.
"Okay. Then do you want to go out and take a look? As my friend, you can come out and live in the village." Sang Jin said again.
"Can I go out now? Okay, okay!" Bai Jingjing longed for the human world. Even though it was just a village, it was still a place where humans lived.
"Well, since Mr. Li is not here, let's go out first."
"Wait, who said I wasn't here?" Old Li floated out of a vase.
"Tell me what you want to talk to me about. You, girl, wouldn't come to me for nothing." After spending more than half a year with Sang Jin, Mr. Li had basically figured out Sang Jin's temper and style.
"Hehe... Mr. Li, did you have a lot of martial arts books when you were alive? My father and his family have set up a library. Why don't you copy some martial arts books? I can promise you one thing. As long as it doesn't touch my bottom line, it's fine." Sang Jin showed her four teeth in a wicked smile.
"You girl, you actually want to steal my skills. For the sake of this kid, it's not impossible. Well, I'll just leave it to you. But you really need to hurry up and find me a body. I'm so bored. Now I can even get out of this stone." Old Li still wanted to be resurrected as soon as possible. He still had a life-or-death grudge to avenge. It was really frustrating.
"I know." Sang Jin was also helpless. It wasn't that she didn't want to help Mr. Li find a body.
Originally, she'd planned to look for one at a mass grave, but she'd been there once and hadn't come across anyone suitable for Mr. Li. He'd said he wanted someone young, attractive, with all his limbs intact... He'd be lucky to find a recently deceased body at a mass grave. There weren't many who met his requirements.
Sang Jin practiced in the secret realm and waited for Master Li to copy the martial arts techniques.
She had spent another two hundred thousand spirit stones. She had already used up a third of the twelve million spirit stones she had earned.
The eighth level had begun to loosen, and she felt a warm current coursing through her body. She was about to break through. She had reached the eighth level of Qi Refining. She continued on to the ninth level. At the ninth level, she reached the Great Perfection, and then stopped.
Following this, her Fengyang Sword Technique also reached the fifth level. Fengyang Sword Technique consists of thirteen moves. According to her master, if mastered to perfection, it could break mountains and rivers.
Sang Jin opened her eyes, then went to the kitchen to boil some water for a bath. After changing into clean clothes, she went to find Mr. Li.
"Mr. Li."
"Well, there are three books in total. They are all heaven-level skills. Once such skills are released, any one of them will cause a scramble. I'm afraid your small village will not be able to be saved." Old Li reminded kindly.
"I know. I will hand them over to the right person. Thank you, Mr. Li." Sang Jin thanked Mr. Li and took Bai Jingjing out of the secret realm.
Since Bai Jingjing's body is still in the secret realm, she can only move within a certain range centered on Sang Jin.
Sang Jin walked along the streets of Shengdan Village, which were filled with red lanterns. Every household had posted Spring Festival couplets on their doors. They had asked the woodcarver to write them. Occasionally, she could see wisps of smoke rising from the roofs of a few villagers' homes.
Pea-sized raindrops fell from the gray sky, and the children who were playing in groups of three or two under the apricot tree ran in different directions in panic.
"Is this the human world?" Bai Jingjing was wearing a white dress that didn't suit the weather here. Although stones are not afraid of cold or heat.
"Do you want to stay here? You can live in my house from now on." Sang Jin tried hard to invite Bai Jingjing to stay in Shengdan Village. With her around, Shengdan Village would be much safer.
"Is there a palace here as big as the one in your secret realm?" Bai Jingjing looked at the village filled with low houses.
"How difficult is that? I'll have someone build one for you. Just stay and help me guard the village." Sang Jin continued to induce.
"Let's talk about it after you finish building the palace." Bai Jingjing did not agree to her immediately.
Although this is her first time to truly come to a place where humans live, it does not mean that she does not have any intelligence.
Sang Jin took Bai Jingjing and walked straight towards the library.
The door to the library was not closed. Sang Jin knocked twice and went straight in. Zhou Dahe and her father were sorting the books, categorizing them and placing them one by one.
The books that Sang Jin took out from the City Lord's Mansion alone would take them several hours to sort through.
"Xiao Jin is here? Are you cold? Come and warm yourself by the fire. Who is this...?" Sang Mu saw that there was a girl in a gauze skirt beside his daughter.
"Dad, this is my friend, Bai Jingjing. She will be staying at our house for a while. Hello, Grandpa Dahe." Sang Jin greeted them and briefly introduced Bai Jingjing.
"Hello Uncle Sang, hello Grandpa Dahe." Bai Jingjing also greeted Sang Mu and Zhou Dahe like Sang Jin did.
"Okay, all is good. Come over and warm yourself by the fire." Sangmu also asked Bai Jingjing to come over and warm herself by the fire. The child was wearing so little, wasn't she cold at all?
"Little Sang Jin, I heard from your father that you went to get the books. What books are they?" Zhou Dahe was also curious about what kind of books they were that required him, a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, to guard them.
He had read a few of the books here, all of which were about mortal-level, yellow-level, and profound-level skills. There were knife skills, fist skills, sword skills, stick skills... There were skills in many fields.
The cultivation techniques in the Southern Wilderness Continent are divided into the following categories from low to high: Ordinary Level, Yellow Level, Mysterious Level, Earth Level, Heaven Level, Immortal Level... and the last one is the Saint Level.
"Grandpa Dahe, look carefully. These are all earth-level techniques. These ten are heaven-level techniques. These three are immortal-level techniques." Sang Jin used her space ring to pour out the earth-level techniques books that were scattered on the ground. These were all copied by her in the secret realm.
"Oh my god! Immortal... Immortal-level techniques. And even Heaven-level... techniques." In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, these Earth-level techniques were rare. Usually only those of large families possessed them.
