Chapter 261: Huge Harvest
Books like these were of enormous help to the average Martial Cultivator.
They could find weapons and accompanying Cultivation Techniques based on their own situation.
So, Chu Feng began to flip through the pages with great curiosity.
'So that's how you can use a sword? And there are all these things to watch out for?' Chu Feng was astonished after reading the pages on swords.
He learned about the different types of swords, their strengths and weaknesses, and even which situations they were best suited for.
It was practically an encyclopedia. A book like this was an enormous asset to any Cultivator.
Once Chu Feng started reading, he became completely absorbed, unable to pull himself away.
He found the contents absolutely fascinating.
For the next several days, Chu Feng remained in the Scripture Pavilion.
When it was mealtime, the old man would bring him food.
The Scripture Pavilion even had brand-new bedding, though he wasn't sure if it had been prepared specifically for him.
But Chu Feng didn't dwell on it. He ate when he was hungry and slept when he was tired.
As soon as he woke, he went right back to reading.
He spent two full days on the first floor alone.
After finishing everything on that floor, Chu Feng let out a long sigh.
"Whew... I never expected to gain so much from just the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion," Chu Feng said with a happy smile.
He then made his way to the second floor.
Here, the vast shelves were lined with numerous Body Skills.
They varied in strength, of course. Some were quite ordinary, while others were more supplementary in nature.
The Taiqing Sword Technique and Taiqing Palm Skill he had seen before were here, though they weren't considered high-level.
Overall, this floor had more manuals with personal insights and annotations.
Even so, the knowledge here was of immense help to Chu Feng.
Chu Feng ended up staying here for over half a month without once stepping outside.
Outside the Scripture Pavilion, Chu Tianshan was floored. He never imagined Chu Feng would become so engrossed. It was truly astonishing.
"This kid... he's a true martial arts prodigy," Chu Tianshan said with a laugh.
Most people couldn't last more than three consecutive days in there. Even Chu Wuji had only managed half a month at most.
On the third floor, Chu Feng dove in headfirst once more. This floor was filled with Martial Arts Manuals.
He devoured them with the same vigor, finding all of it fascinating.
He spent nine days here, reading every last one.
When he reached the last floor, Chu Feng discovered that there were no Martial Arts Manuals here.
Instead, it held the records of his predecessors—all sorts of insights on realm breakthroughs, warnings, and other miscellaneous notes.
It might have seemed disorganized, but to Chu Feng, it was an immense help.
The guidance was especially invaluable for those just beginning their cultivation journey.
As he delved deeper, Chu Feng was stunned to realize just how many astonishingly brilliant geniuses had existed throughout history.
'This person was incredible. He nearly grasped the very essence of the Martial Dao. What a shame cultivation was no longer viable in his era,' Chu Feng thought with a sigh.
'Had he been born a few centuries earlier, he would have undoubtedly been a top-tier genius—a powerful expert who could have reached incredible heights.'
Chu Feng spent a full month on this floor.
In total, he had been inside for nearly two months—a frighteningly long time.
Anyone else cooped up in here for that long would have likely gone mad.
But Chu Feng, far from going mad, was completely captivated, as if in a trance.
After he finished reading everything, Chu Feng closed his eyes and began to meditate.
This meditation lasted for another full week.
He needed to digest everything he had absorbed.
When Chu Feng opened his eyes, a brilliant light flashed within them.
His entire aura had changed. His Divine Sense, in particular, was now countless times stronger than before.
Even with his eyes closed, he could clearly perceive the slightest disturbance within a radius of over ten meters.
It was as if he were watching with another pair of eyes.
Most importantly, this experience had given Chu Feng a profound understanding of the mistakes he'd made on his cultivation path.
He had been fumbling along entirely on his own before, completely unaware of certain pitfalls. As a result, he had strayed from the correct path more than a little.
"Looks like this trip to the Chu Family wasn't a waste after all," Chu Feng sighed, his heart feeling much more at ease.
His previous breakthroughs had been too rapid, and without any guidance, he had created some serious problems for himself. Fortunately, he hadn't tried to force another breakthrough.
Otherwise, the consequences would have been severe.
Therefore, Chu Feng was incredibly grateful he had come here.
When Chu Feng finally stepped outside, it was morning.
Chu Tianshan was sitting by the entrance, sipping wine and looking quite relaxed.
"You finally decided to grace us with your presence?" Chu Tianshan said with a smile, glancing at Chu Feng.
"With all the food and drink in there, I was reluctant to leave," Chu Feng replied with a smile.
"Hahaha! If you're so reluctant, then feel free to stay a while longer," Chu Tianshan boomed with laughter.
His gaze toward Chu Feng was filled with ever-increasing satisfaction.
