The two of them ate and drank while chatting about the culture and customs of the imperial court. It was very warm.
A hundred catties of braised beef and ten jars of Huadiao that had been stored in the cellar for ten years were finished by the two of them. However, Huang Jie only drank half a jar of wine. Seeing that the wine and dishes were finished, Huang Jie was about to call the waiter to serve them again.
"No need!" Qin Zhan stopped Huang Jie's actions and said,""Although the food and wine are good, there's no need to eat too much. You and I are both martial artists. First, we have to learn how to control ourselves.”
Qin Zhan looked out of the window. The sky was gradually darkening and the sun was setting. He said to Huang Jie,"It's getting late. Let's part ways here. In the next two days, I plan to properly prepare for the upcoming exam.”
Huang Jie looked at the lights that were gradually lighting up outside and sighed in realization,"I thought it would be in the blink of an eye, but it's already dusk.”
Huang Jie stood up and bowed to Qin Zhan.""I had a good chat with Senior Brother today. Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother.”
Qin Zhan shook his head and looked at Huang Jie.""In terms of cultivation and battle prowess, you are indeed inferior to me. However, if we are to compare strange stories, your understanding of cultivation is better than mine! I've also benefited a lot from communicating with you!”
What Qin Zhan said was the truth. After all, his predecessor was an orphan with a reclusive personality. He was also obsessed with cultivation. He paid little attention to things other than cultivation. He was not even clear about the specific situation of the Eighteen Dragons and Elephants that he cultivated.
If Qin Zhan didn't have his cheat, he might have thought of abandoning his cultivation and re-cultivating after learning that it was so difficult to cultivate the Eighteen Dragons and Elephants.
Fortunately, there were mistakes. Others could not cultivate the Eighteen Dragon Elephants, but that did not mean that he could not!
After bidding farewell to Huang Jie, Qin Zhan did not miss the ladies of Happy Red Courtyard as usual. Instead, he stepped into the library pavilion for the first time.
In the library pavilion, Qin Zhan sat quietly behind a table. In his hand was a book that recorded ancient and modern history. Not only that, but there was also a pile of books on various travel notes, treasures, demons, gods, and ghosts on the table.
Ever since he communicated with Huang Jie, Qin Zhan knew what his shortcomings were. Therefore, he went to the library pavilion this time to read more books to make up for his shortcomings.
And this wait lasted for two days!
Two days later, Qin Zhan put down the book on ancient myths and legends in his hand. His face was filled with yearning.
Legend has it that in ancient times, there were immortals, gods, demons, and devils.
They could live as long as the heavens and earth, eat qi, and not die. Moreover, they had remarkable abilities. Picking stars and playing with the moon was a small matter. With a raise of their hands, they could even destroy the heavens and earth.
The demons and devils back then were not something the demons of the present could compare to. The demons and devils back then were existences comparable to immortals and gods.
Furthermore, demons in ancient times had intelligence. They could speak human language and transform into human forms. There were even great demons who cultivated into demon gods and were immortal. There were even legends that the human race was actually created by the demon gods!
However, as time passed, the immortals, gods, demons, and devils fought several times. They shattered the world and caused the Qi of Heaven and Earth to dissipate. Then, the world changed inexplicably. The immortals, gods, demons, and devils suddenly disappeared overnight. After that, only a few of the remaining demons and devils could develop intelligence, but they could no longer speak human language or transform into human form.
Not only that, the book also recorded the difference between demons and devils. Demons were animals that absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, the essence of heaven and earth, and finally absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to become spirits. Some were pure in nature and would not actively hurt others.
Demons and devils were cruel and brutal. No one knew where they came from, but they did not exist in ancient times. Therefore, humans should be the products of the great changes in the world.
The world Qin Zhan was in was a new world formed from the fragments of the original world during the ancient era when the war between immortals, gods, demons, and devils shattered it. It was called the Five Regions World.
The reason why the Five Direction World was called the Five Direction World was that the sky was round and the earth was square. There was once an immortal who measured it before he ascended.
Other than that, the world was covered by a huge curtain that even immortals could not break through.
Qin Zhan closed the book and looked at the books on the ground. He picked them up one by one and tidied them up. Then, he placed them back where they were originally.
After the book was placed back in its original position, Qin Zhan could not help but sigh at the great gains he had gained from this trip to the library pavilion. The brilliance of the ancient times made Qin Zhan extremely fascinated. He wished he could be born in the same era as the immortals, gods, demons, and devils!
Walking out of the library pavilion, Qin Zhan recalled Huang Jie asking him the other day if he planned to stay in Border Town after the exam or if he planned to transfer out of Border Town.
According to his original plan, Qin Zhan wanted to stay in Border City. Anyway, his cultivation was enough to protect himself. Moreover, there were many demons and devils in Border City. He thought that he could not rush to improve his cultivation for the time being. He planned to use his cultivation to increase his Life Yuan.
However, after coming out of the library pavilion, his thoughts changed again. He could not be too selfish. Now that Border Town seemed quiet, it was actually in danger. If anything went wrong, the nest would be destroyed!
There was Sifang Mountain in the north and Jiangshui River in the west. Both places were malignant tumors that harmed Jiang City.
First, the Four Square Mountains in the north of the city were occupied by countless demons, and there were many powerful demons there.
In the past, any caravan or martial arts cultivator that passed through the Four Square Mountains had basically never seen them come out once they entered. Later on, they could only take a detour.
Once upon a time, the Demon Slayer Hall Master thought that he could flatten the Four Square Mountains with his cultivation base of the Fifth Heaven. However, he was still too young. In the end, he escaped with his severely injured body and broken sword. He was still in seclusion to recuperate.
Next was the river in the west. In terms of danger, the river in the west seemed to be even more dangerous than the Four Square Mountains! There were countless demons hidden in the river. These demons ate humans, and many warriors and fishermen died.
The Monster-Slaying Hall could not conquer these two places either. Firstly, they were not strong enough. Secondly, the demons were cunning and avoided them. Every time the Monster-Slaying Hall sent out a large-scale operation, they could only capture a few small demons.
As for the great fiendish demons, they were all gathered together. With the strength of the Demon Slaying Hall, they could only pretend not to see them.
