”Hmm?” You Xiang had a strange look on her face as she asked, ”Why do I smell a burnt stench?”

The others were also stunned as they smelled the scent.

Ruo Yun took out a handful of Spirit Sword and cut the three heads of Demonic Wolf. Immediately, a wave of black gas floated out.

”What's going on?” Ruo Yun was surprised. He didn't even use the fire cultivation technique, how could he use it to beat the three Demonic Wolf to such a state?

Di Chen explained: ”Earlier, I refined a fire attribute demonic beast's beast core, and its energy was filled with heat. This fist may seem like a brute strength, but in reality, it is equivalent to a fire cultivation technique.”

When he was at Ten Thousand Swords Gate, Di Chen had already eaten the spirit beast core guarding the mountain, and the flames entered his body, filling it up with his flesh and blood. His body was filled with the berserk heat, even the majority of fire cultivation technique did not have the same level of heat as Di Chen.

When the few of them heard this, their faces were filled with astonishment and envy. They thought to themselves, why didn't such a good thing happen to them?

Jing Lan laughed: ”Although Di Chen has not broken through to the ninth stage of martial arts, there are very few people who are his match at the moment. If he were to raise his cultivation by a little, then he would be even stronger.

The others also agreed with him. If it was before, Bai Xun would definitely retort, but now, it was not his place to say anything else.

”Oh right,” You Qin asked. ”Di Chen, what else do you need? After you finish preparing, we will bring you to a place.”

Di Chen thought for a while, then said: ”I want to raise my cultivation realm, it would be best to find a place like the Academy to buy some ancient books first.”

Previously, Di Chen brought back a lot of ancient books from Ten Thousand Swords Gate, but the contents of those books were at odds with Di Chen's thoughts. The books were filled with slave thoughts, so Di Chen did not plan to read them anymore.

You Qin was silent for a moment, then said: ”There is such a place in Crystal City, I'll take you there.”

After walking through the streets and alleys, they finally found an ancient book house. The sign outside hung with the words ”Xiang Nan book house”, and after they entered, they saw a white-haired old man holding a book and reading it carefully, as if he did not see Di Chen and the rest. He did not even glance at Di Chen.

Inside the bookstore, there were only a few Humble Class children reading books. On both sides, there were bookshelves filled with books, but what surprised Di Chen was that there were actually many forbidden books inside.

The Thousand Autumn Dynasty forbids the sale of forbidden books, but this place was publicly displayed on the bookshelves. Di Chen thought to himself, This old man was also powerful.

”Di Chen, go and choose your book. We'll wait for you outside.”

You Qin said. This place was filled with books by the ancient scholars, there were some famous people there, some were chatting about geographically, some were weird novels, and some were poems. She was not interested in these books at all.

As a scholar, Di Chen could tell at a glance just how good the books were.

”Hm?” Guan Canghai? ” The title was very interesting, he took the book and looked, the author's name was Ni Ming, Di Chen remembered this person, the person who was the top scholar when Di Chen participated in the Imperial examinations, Di Chen did not expect to see his book.

This book was a travel diary, recording the ten years of wandering on the sea. He had been to many places, seen too many literary customs, and would carefully record the local interesting stories every time he went there, followed by her own feelings. Di Chen was not interested in the human customs, but Di Chen was very curious about his feelings.

However, in reality, Di Chen did not know that he was actually the top scholar. It was only because someone had seen through his idea in the article that he had been disqualified from being the top scholar.

”Although this Frowning is not a great scholar of his generation, his words are filled with the comprehension of his life. This kind of essay is indeed suitable for cultivation.”

Di Chen kept the < Observing the Vast Ocean > book and then continued to browse the bookshelves.

”Hmm?” It was the first time that Di Chen had seen a book that could also release the power of a scholar. Di Chen suddenly remembered that the words that he wrote with the power of a scholar were actually just the power of a scholar, he thought that maybe this was the case, it seemed like this was a literati.

Di Chen did not open the books, he kept the books, these two were enough for him to cultivate. He walked over to the old man and handed him the two books: ”Elder, I will buy these two books and accept them.”

The old man casually glanced at the two books, then raised his head to look at Di Chen. No one knew what he was thinking, then casually said: ”One hundred million.”

Di Chen was startled, but did not say anything. He opened his own money pouch, but the pouch only had a few hundred silver, he then remembered that he had used up all his silver to help Zi Yan cultivate his martial soul.

Di Chen scratched his head and walked out. When he saw Di Chen coming out, he smiled and asked: ”Have you bought it yet?”

Di Chen said awkwardly: ”I don't have enough money, can you lend me some?”

”Sure,” You Qin was also very polite as she asked, ”No need to borrow, I'll gift it to you. Is five million silver enough?”

Di Chen said with a bitter smile: ”One hundred million.”

Hearing that, You Qin's face turned pale, one hundred million gold was not a small sum, even she felt pained.

Bai Xun immediately jumped up and scolded: ”Di Chen, don't be too greedy, we saved your life, and even brought you here to buy the things you need, but you actually said one hundred million, why don't you just die?”
