Standing outside the library and looking up exquisite calligraphy on the plaque, she was confused between reality and memory.
Hidden Library Pavilion, there was one when she was in Sima family place. The first time she stepped in the Hidden Library Pavilion was the time when she couldn’t cultivate.
Now she was about to start again. But this time was different from before. She had the power bestowed by ancestor. As long as her soul body cultivation base was raised, she could open the seal layer by layer and truly accept the power of her ancestor!
“Miss, you have never been to the Hidden Library Pavilion before. What kind of books do you want to read?” Ting Shan reminded her when she was in a daze.
Sima You Yue came back to her senses. “Where are the cultivation books?”
“On the second floor. The first floor is full of books on all aspects, the second floor is about cultivation and the third floor and up is about spirit skills.”
“Then I will go to the second floor. You can wait for me here.” Sima You Yue told Ting Shan.
Ting Shan remembered Murong Hui’s order which was to treat Sima You Yue the same as the previous Miss. So she obediently stayed on the first floor.
After Sima You Yue went up, she saw books on cultivation on the bookshelves close to the periphery, but they were basically about cultivation of ghost energy. At most, it was mentioned in one or two sentences about soul body cultivation.
Finally, she saw a thin, shabby book on the shelf at the very end.
“Only such a shabby book!” She took the book down disappointedly.
“You are looking for a book on soul body cultivation.” An old voice sounded beside her, scaring her.
“Who?” She looked around, feeling breathing behind her back. She turned around and saw a small, short old man looking at her with his hands behind his back. “Hello, who are you….”
“I’m just a cleaner.” The little old man replied. “Do you want to study the soul body cultivation method?”
“I am just taking a look.” Sima You Yue said nonchalantly.
“It’s good to cultivate the soul body. It is a pity that the current good soul body cultivation method is about to be lost.”
Sima You Yue was shocked, “How do you know….” That she was a soul body?
“The little old man can still see.” The little old man chuckled.
Sima You Yue felt vigilant in her heart. She remembered what ancestor told her. The body that he helped her condense could not be seen by normal people that she was a soul body. But this old man only took a glance and found out. How high was his strength?
She didn’t know if Mi Er could deal with him.
The little old man saw her face change and touched his beard. He happily assured her, “Don’t worry, this little old man won’t do that to you.”
“Then why did you ….” expose me?
“I’m just curious. How did you condense a body? From your look, you haven’t started soul cultivation yet?” The little old man smiled, making himself friendly.
“Before I came to the Ghost Realm, one of my ancestors helped me condense this body.” Sima You Yue replied.
By saying that, one was to tell him she had a very powerful ancestor and second, her ancestor was not from the Ghost Realm, so he should not ask who he was.
The little old man understood her meaning. He didn’t continue to ask questions. He walked to the innermost bookshelf and squatted down. He searched for a while and took out a book for Sima You Yue.
“This book is much better than the one in your hand.”
Sima You Yue took the book which was a thick one. Although the corners were missing, there were no missing words or pages. It was indeed much better than the one in her hand.
“Thank you.” She smiled at him gratefully.
“This soul cultivation is more difficult than ghost cultivation. Girl, the road in the future will be difficult.” The little old man sighed and left the second floor. Sima You Yue looked at his back and clenched the book in her hand.
Naturally, she did not believe he was a cleaner. He must be a very powerful senior in the Murong Clan. But why did he expose her and help her find a book?
Curiosity was not a valid reason.
Forget it, if he really wanted to do something bad to her, he could still leave even though he couldn’t do huge damage with Mi Er beside.
She put both books away and went downstairs. Seeing Ting Shan standing outside the library, she asked, “Is there a little skinny old man cleaning the library?”
“Little skinny old man? No! The Hidden Library Pavilion is cleaned by maids.” Ting Shan answered.
“Oh. Let’s go back.” Sima You Yue was not surprised. Her guess was correct.
When they returned to the courtyard, she left Ting Shan and Ting Shui outside, saying that she wanted to go into seclusion. No one was allowed to disturb her. If anyone came in, she would sell the two of them.
She had no spirit power now, so she couldn’t set up a spirit barrier. She could only rely on external force.
Ting Shan and Ting Shui knew that Murong Xi had sold a maid before, and heard that maid ended up miserably. Now when they heard this, they two resolved to not even let a cat or dog enter.
So when Gongzi Yuan came, he was mercilessly stopped by them two.
“Cultivate? Can she cultivate? Wasn’t she a waste like Xi’er?” Gongzi Yuan muttered and left.
If Sima You Yue knew, she would have rolled her eyes at him. Who said she was a waste and couldn’t cultivate? She hadn’t started cultivating at all, alright!
She first opened the shabby and thin book. There was really no way to cultivate from it. In the little old man’s words, it was not useful. She roughly flipped through it. The book was just an introduction to ghost cultivation.
Soul cultivation referred to those who had their souls entered the Ghost Realm after death who restarted cultivating. Soul cultivators started weak, so it was difficult to survive.
Ghost cultivation refers to the ghost clan who cultivate ghost energy. When Sima You Yue was alive, she would be considered a ghost cultivator.
Ghost cultivators were more powerful than soul cultivators. Because ghost cultivators could contract with underworld beasts and soul cultivation could be done at the same time as ghost cultivation. In addition, while using ghost energy in battle, soul power could also be used.
Moreover, some ghost cultivation skills could suppress soul cultivators and even control them as their slaves or subsidiaries. But once they progressed, soul cultivators became very powerful to where they could dominate a place in the Ghost Realm.
Because there were so many powerful soul cultivators emerging one after another, ghost cultivators had chosen to kill them in the cradle. There had been fewer soul cultivators in these years.
But there was one exception, the soul region.
Ancestor said before that at the foot of the Ninth Underworld Mountain, where black lotuses bloom, the three regions of Ghost Realm do not dare not to follow. These three regions referred to the Ghost Region, Soul Region and the Abyss of Hell.
The Soul Region was the place where soul cultivators lived. It could be this famous as the Ghost Region and the Abyss of Hell which was enough to show its status and strength.
