Chapter 285: Lower Floors (1/2)

Alex was a little surprised that his master didn't call for him to follow her since their original plan was to come and check the books to see if there was some knowledge about anything they had trouble understanding.

But after seeing everyone else basically start to look for books, he decided to look for them on his own too.

He looked up and checked the names hanging from the ceiling and searched for any that caught his interest. The first thing his eyes naturally went to was Alchemy.

'Do I check alchemy? I don't think there can be anything there— Ah, the pill made from Spirit Cleansing Lily. Maybe there is some information about that,' he thought and went over to the area.

He saw quite a few disciples from his sect hanging around the shelves. As one would expect, this was where the disciples from an Alchemy sect would hang out at.

Alex looked through the shelves at the titles of books and tried to search for any that he would want to read. A few books caught his attention, but when he read them, he was disappointed.

They contained knowledge that he already knew or wasn't very helpful to him. He looked through more books but they weren't very good.

'Perhaps the first floor is too low level for me,' Alex thought and left them there. Disciples like Wan Li and the others who had been learning Alchemy for half their life also didn't need this information, so they decided to go up the floor.

Alex didn't immediately go up, however. His books of interest in the library weren't alchemy books necessarily. He wanted to learn about the Lilies and his body.

He looked around the lower floor and came across the formation section. For the last few days, he had been really curious about the formation and had wanted to learn it.

There was also the formation that gathered Qi that he had acquired the tools for from the place in the southern forest. They had been sitting in his storage bags, doing nothing and he wanted to desperately make use of them.

If possible, he wanted to learn formations and swiftly recreate the formation in the Hong Wu sect's alchemy garden.

'Arghh, I need to focus on Alchemy. Practicing two different veins of production might slow me down on both of them,' he thought. However, the curiosity still remained in his heart and he couldn't throw it away.

So, he opened some of the formation books from the shelves and started reading them. He didn't bother understanding what the books said. He only concentrated on remembering everything he was looking at and reading.

He couldn't send his Spiritual Sense to swiftly look through all of it, so he had to manually flip through the book to read it.

He read through a few of the basic knowledge books and stopped. There was nothing significant he had to read here. He stopped searching through the first floor at all and moved up a floor.

There were a lot more people on the 2nd floor than there were on the first floor. Perhaps the first floor was really beginner level for these people to bother with them.

Alex chuckled softly and shook his head. He was not even a beginner in formations, so it was okay for him to waste his time there.
