The Dao Zang was known to have three thousand books. Ordinary cultivation families would not have that many books, but the Kunlun Taiqing Sect naturally had them.

So in the next few days, Qiu Changtian kept wandering in the Dao Zang Hall of the Sutra Repository Pavilion, learning the theoretical knowledge of Daoism. He was so hardworking that the most hardworking students would be scared.

Because he had no time to pretend to be coercive in front of Junior Sister Xu, the synchronization value of Invincible Setting dropped all the way, and it looked a little frightening.

This news even reached the ears of Headmaster Polestar. After a certain sermon, he said, “Don’t indulge in this empty talk”, “Do you want to learn from those idiots of Yuqing Temple”, which left Qiu Changtian caught between laughter and tears.

After the lecture, Xu Yinglian found Qiu Changtian and asked, “Have you been interested in Dao Zang recently?”

“That’s right.” Qiu Changtian hurriedly went to the Sutra Repository Pavilion to read, and said casually, “What’s wrong?”

“I’ve been at home since I was young. I don’t have any other habits other than reading and playing the zither,” Xu Yinglian said reservedly. “Although I don’t dare to say that I’m familiar with the Daoist Canon, I’ve basically read it a few times.”

Although her expression is reserved and cold, her eyes are shining, and she almost wrote “Ask me quickly” on her face.

“Oh,” Qiu Changtian replied, then hurried towards the Sutra Repository Pavilion.

Xu Yinglian: ?

She hurriedly followed and said, “Senior Brother, if you’re not familiar with Dao Zang, you can ask me! Isn’t it better to have someone help you get the general idea of those books?”

Qiu Changtian stopped in his tracks. He thought to himself that it made sense. Just as he was about to say “It would be great to learn from Junior Sister”, the Kunlun Mirror rushed out.

“Be careful! If you say anything that doesn’t match your setting, your synchronization value will drop drastically!”

Qiu Changtian quickly swallowed the words he was about to blurt out, then put on a disdainful expression as if saying, “You?”

Xu Yinglian’s blood pressure skyrocketed immediately, and said coldly, “Or is it that you don’t dare to admit that I know more about Dao Zang than you do? How about this, Senior Brother, feel free to ask questions. If I can’t answer one question, it’ll be considered your victory, how about it?”

Seeing her fighting spirit, Qiu Changtian sighed in his heart.

Why was this Junior Sister Xu so headstrong?

It was really tough being her senior brother.

Seeing that Qiu Changtian stopped talking, Xu Yinglian sneered.

“What’s wrong? Could it be that senior brother is afraid?”

Qiu Changtian smiled faintly and said, “What scriptures are there in the Three Cave Divisions?”

“Ha, this question is easy.” Without thinking, Xu Yinglian answered smoothly, “Three Cave Divisions are ways to communicate. They are able to communicate through profoundness. There are three generalities, which are the Three Caves. The first is Cave True, the second is Cave Mysterious, and the third is Cave God.”

“The Sutra of Eight Elements said: There are three paths of the Supreme Dao, seven paths of the Up True Dao, six paths of the Middle True Dao, and eight paths of the Down True Dao. There are a total of 24 scriptures, respectively..”

She rattled off the names of the twenty-four books as if they were the names of dishes. Then she lifted her chin haughtily and asked, “Senior Brother, am I right?”

“You’re right.” Qiu Changtian nodded slightly and asked, “Let me question you again, what’s the difference between the three caves?”

“What’s so difficult about that?” Xu Yinglian smiled sweetly.

“The ‘Ben Ji Sutra’ said: If there are any scriptures, the 12 scriptures will be formed and correspond to the 3 Cave Saints. It’s called the Law of Righteousness. The Cave True is justified by not being mixed. The Cave Mysterious is named for not being stagnant. The Cave God is used for unexpected things..”

The two of them moved forward side by side, and Qiu Changtian asked while Xu Yinglian answered. One of them said, “I’ll ask,” and the other said, “What’s so difficult about this?” Unknowingly, they’d arrived at the Sutra Repository Pavilion and spent a few hours there.

Xu Yinglian was not lying. She was indeed quite familiar with the Daoist Canon.

Every time Qiu Changtian asked a question, she would always be able to blurt out the answer. At most, she would quickly think for the duration of several breaths.

After answering, Qiu Changtian said, “You’re right.” Then, Xu Yinglian revealed a pure and happy smile, and even the gloominess between her brows dissipated.

Looking at her expression, Qiu Changtian knew that most of the flaws in her Dao heart had been fixed, and Qiu Changtian couldn’t help but nod secretly in his heart.

Junior Sister. Senior Brother has done so much for you. If you are disturbed by your inner demons in the future, you can’t blame me.

“Let’s stop here today.” Qiu Changtian closed the book.

Xu Yinglian’s mouth was a little dry. She subconsciously pursed her lips and said reluctantly, “That’s it? So you’ve already admitted being defeated?”

Qiu Changtian didn’t answer, and he just stood up calmly with a light smile.

Sorry, sister. If there is no synchronization value, I will admit defeat to you once a day, and what’s the harm?

However, the synchronization value of my Invincible Setting had naturally dropped to 77%.

If you want me to admit defeat, what if I fall below 60%?

It is impossible to admit defeat to you, impossible in this life.

Seeing that her senior brother did not say anything, Xu Yinglian took it as a silent agreement and immediately smiled.

“Senior Brother, I won this time.”

“Let’s go back to Golden Ridge.” Qiu Changtian avoided answering.

“Yeah, yeah, I won.”

The two left the Yuqing Temple and mounted their swords.

Seeing Xu Yinglian still smiling, Qiu Changtian felt something strange and said casually, “The wind tonight is really noisy.”

“The wind must be happy because Senior Brother lost to me,” Xu Yinglian actually continued.

Qiu Changtian:..

“I wonder how Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters are doing.” He changed the topic. “Are they used to living in the new cave abode?”

“As long as they win a few more times, I believe they will soon be able to adapt to the cultivation life.” Xu Yinglian said with a smile.

“Junior Sister, can you not always talk about this?” Qiu Changtian asked helplessly.

“Alright, then tell me this yourself. I won’t bring it up again,” Xu Yinglian said in high spirits. “Say: On the seventh day of the seventh month, Qiu Changtian lost to Xu Yinglian in the Sutra Repository Pavilion of Kunlun Hollow Jade Temple.”

“Hurry up and tell me this,” she urged excitedly.

Qiu Changtian:..

Sister, you are really not cute.

Qiu Changtian ignored Xu Yinglian’s hopeful gaze and refused to admit that he had lost. He returned to the Golden Ridge Cave Abode and left under his junior sister’s angry gaze.

Returning to the cave, Qiu Changtian said lightly, “Ah Jing, I want to reload the archive!”

“Countdown to world destruction: 1,000 years.”

“Please hurry up and look for the Heaven Patching Stone.”

The Kunlun Mirror chanted:

[Position 3: Penglai Yuqing Temple, Dao Zang Repository.]

[Character Identity: Luo Yan.]

“Imitation Mode covered, currently traveling through time.”

Luo Yan raised his eyelids slightly and saw himself standing in front of the bookshelf in a daze.

He quickly pulled a copy of The Hidden Book of the Jade from the shelf. His gaze swept over a paragraph and the full text instantly appeared in his mind.

By relying on Qiu Changtian’s Enlightened Dao heart and hard work, he had already memorized all twenty-four scriptures.

Through the discussion with Xu Yinglian, he also basically understood the meaning.

Next, he would go through the knowledge once more and wait for the final examination!

Outside the Dao Zang Repository, Shi Liuli was pacing back and forth in boredom. She wondered how her junior brother was doing inside.

Aiya, if it were any other senior brothers or senior sisters, how would they care so much about a junior brother who had yet to enter the sect?

I, the fairy, was just that responsible..

“Junior Sister Liuli!” A few senior sisters who passed by called out to her. “There’s a new batch of Cosmetic Cultivation Pills in the market square over at Fang Hu’s side. It’s said that they’re only sold today. They’re selling very well and will be sold out soon. Do you want to come with us?”

“Limited?” Shi Liuli’s eyes lit up. “It’s going to be snatched away soon?”

At that moment, the responsible senior sister and the junior brother who was going to take exams all disappeared from her memory.

“Let’s go, right now! Wait for me!”
