Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Banquet at Yaxiang Garden "This isn’t bad at all!"
Li Yunjing nodded. Truth be told, he was moved.
The higher the strength he aimed for, the more resources he needed. With so many books in the "Scripture Pavilion", turning that knowledge into combat power would require Spirit Stones and heavenly materials!
If he relied only on the passage of time, he would go gray but still struggle to master the contents of all the books he had read.
"Junior Brother, would you be willing to act together with Senior Sister? We can look out for each other, and we’d have a higher chance of success."
Seeing Li Yunjing’s interest, Fairy Linghua perked up and continued to persuade him.
"When should we move? I still have tasks on hand!"
Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow, showing a hint of hesitation.
"In seven days. By then, you’ll have some time off."
Fairy Linghua said with a smile.
"Yes! It will be the third day of my break. I can participate!"
Li Yunjing nodded and asked, "How long will the task take? The Youlan Mountain Range is far; wouldn’t making a round trip delay my duty time?"
"Junior Brother, don’t worry! The people from the ’Law Enforcement Hall’ will use the Teleportation Array to directly transport us to the market outside the ’Youlan Mountain Range’. Then we’ll use the Sect’s Flying Ship to enter the mountains, so we won’t waste any time."
Fairy Linghua continued to explain, but inwardly cursed, "What a cunning fellow, asking so many questions!"
"If we were to set a trap specifically for him, we might not even be able to catch him! This mission is a Sect bounty task from the ’Law Enforcement Hall’, so I’m not worried about Li Yunjing not taking the bait!"
"Alright! Let’s set it then!"
Li Yunjing nodded, finally agreeing.
"Very good! Junior Brother Li, when the time comes, I’ll come over and we’ll depart together to meet up with the people from the ’Law Enforcement Hall’."
Fairy Linghua smiled, very satisfied that her goal was achieved.
Seeing Fairy Linghua off, Li Yunjing sneered, wondering who would end up getting tricked.
This matter wasn’t urgent right now.
There was still time, so he could plan leisurely.
Li Yunjing’s life calmed down once more. He was still as immersed in the sea of knowledge as ever, without a care.
When Yan Dingzhi came to relieve him, Li Yunjing even seemed somewhat reluctant.
"Hahaha! It looks like Junior Brother Li wants to work for another half month?"
Seeing Li Yunjing’s expression, Yan Dingzhi teased.
He had seen this look many times.
When he first came to the "Scripture Pavilion" for duty, he too would lose himself in reading.
But over time, it became numbing, and he no longer wanted to read as much.
He did not expect this Junior Brother Li to still be like this on his second tour.
"I can’t help it. With a weak foundation, I can’t stop when I find knowledge that I can use."
Li Yunjing shook his head slightly, smiling with self-deprecation.
This wasn’t an excuse; he really was absorbed in the ocean of knowledge.
He always felt like time was never enough, never enough to study.
Every book brought great interest to Li Yunjing, drawing him in, eager to master its content.
"Haha! That’s a good thing. It seems that it won’t be long before Junior Brother Li makes great strides in his cultivation!"
Yan Dingzhi couldn’t help but praise.
Everyone knew the "Scripture Pavilion" was a treasure trove, but not everyone could maintain such intense study.
Even someone as diligent as Yan Dingzhi could only manage to read one book in a fortnight!
That’s the difference in talent!
But Li Yunjing could read three or four dozen books in a fortnight and truly grasp their contents.
His accumulation of knowledge was worlds apart.
If anyone was destined to soar with such enlightenment, it had to be Li Yunjing.
"Haha! Senior Brother Yan, you’re too kind. I just believe that diligence can make up for lack of talent; slow birds must start earlier. Compared to you, it’s like comparing a firefly to the moon."
When it came to reciprocal praises, Li Yunjing was no slouch.
Yan Dingzhi found this hard to stomach.
He never expected this Junior Brother Li to be so good at flattering, making him feel a bit embarrassed.
"Junior Brother! You’re overpraising me! How could I deserve such words?"
Yan Dingzhi shook his hand repeatedly, admitting defeat.
"Hahaha!"
