Cultivation is just so scientific!

Li Shiming followed the map inside his Identity Jade Disc and found the Book Collection Pavilion belonging to the Nascent Soul Stage.

As he entered the pavilion, the array formation protecting it scanned his Identity Jade Disc, and the guarding formation automatically activated, allowing him to enter.

Unlike ordinary Book Collection Pavilions, the ones for the Nascent Soul Stage do not merely allow the exchange of contribution points for certain secret techniques. Besides the sect's inherited techniques, the rest of the books can be freely viewed as long as one has the necessary permission.

Nascent Soul Stage cultivators hold a high status in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, so there is no need to worry about their loyalty to the sect.

Moreover, Nascent Soul Stage cultivators enjoy a longer lifespan and will, according to their personal interests, learn various secondary professions, which require a vast amount of literature to broaden their horizons and improve their understanding of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Upon entering the Nascent Soul Stage Book Collection Pavilion, Li Shiming was stunned; he hadn't expected the pavilion to look like this.

The pavilion was set up as a spatial formation, with an interior space as large as three football fields and a height that was impossible to estimate.

The reason it was impossible to estimate was that his permissions only allowed him to see the Nascent Soul Early Stage section, and he couldn't access the Nascent Soul Middle Late Stage sections above that.

But even just the Nascent Soul Early Stage section was over thirty meters high.

Inside the pavilion was a circular tower-like structure filled with rows of slots from bottom to top, each slot labeled with the type of books it contained.

These slots were densely packed, lining all four walls.

Standing on the ground, Li Shiming looked up at the hive-like slots, each containing a book.

He couldn't imagine how the Ten Thousand Beast Sect had managed to collect so many books.

In comparison, the libraries of the Shushan Sect and the Senluo Sect were like comparing a big library to a small book stall.

His eyes involuntarily brightened; this was the biggest gain from his visit to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

However, there are certain rules here that do not allow the use of spiritual abilities outside, so one must read the books one slot at a time from a close distance.

This was expected, as the only ones allowed here, besides special Golden Core cultivators like Li Shiming, were Nascent Soul cultivators.

With the capabilities of Nascent Soul cultivators, reading many books at once wouldn't be a problem, but it could significantly affect other cultivators' reading experiences.

By reading one book at a time, there would be less impact on other cultivators, leading to higher utilization of the pavilion's resources.

When he entered, there were already four Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators there who took note of him upon his entrance.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of disturbing him in the pavilion, they would have approached Li Shiming for a conversation.

To enter here as a Golden Core cultivator means he must have some special ability, and he's getting special attention from the sect.

The four Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators had never seen Li Shiming before, which made them even more curious about him.

Li Shiming first observed the collection of books in the pavilion and realized that it contained almost everything.

From mining, artifact refining, sword forging, spirit butchery, medicinal cooking, planting, alchemy, beast taming, spirit nourishing, soul refining, talisman refining, armament refining, spiritual text, spiritual appraisal, array formation, enchantment, etc., as long as it's a profession that had appeared in the Immortal World, there were corresponding books here.

He first went to the Array Formation Area and took a jade scroll from the lowest slot.

Placing the jade scroll on his forehead, he couldn't use his divine thought outwardly, so he could only read the content of the jade scroll this way.

In a fleeting moment, his life-bound magical treasure IBMz15 copied the content from the jade scroll into the Array Formation Starlight Sea.

Above his head, the Array Formation Starlight Sea emerged, lighting up a starlit point at the edge, representing the array knowledge he had just acquired from the jade scroll manifesting inside the Array Formation Starlight Sea.

"So, he's an Array Master!" The Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators watching him retracted their attention; Array Masters, while important, did not hold the same weight for Nascent Soul cultivators if they were only in the Golden Core Stage.

A Golden Core Stage Array Master, unable to refine a Fourth-grade Array Plate from Fourth-grade Array Materials, was not as valuable to a Nascent Soul cultivator as a Nascent Soul Stage Array Master.

The number of Array Masters far exceeds that of Alchemy Masters, likely due to the rarity of Spiritual Fire.

An Array Master can be nurtured given the aptitude and extensive study, whereas an Alchemy Master not only needs the aptitude but also the fortune to acquire Spiritual Fire; otherwise, they cannot become an Alchemist, let alone an Alchemy Master.

Li Shiming was unaware that his absorption of array knowledge led to a misunderstanding with the other Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivators.

He returned the jade scroll and picked up another one.

Since all the jade scrolls in the Array Formation Area contained new knowledge for him, he opened up a new galaxy in his Array Formation Starlight Sea.

His learning speed was fast, but since none of the Nascent Soul cultivators paid him attention, they didn't notice the ongoing changes in his Array Formation Starlight Sea.

He was voraciously absorbing the array knowledge, and given the number of jade scrolls on array knowledge, at his pace of reading one scroll every few breaths, it would take about a month to scan all of it into his Array Formation Starlight Sea.

The main issue was the inability to use divine thought; if he could, he could finish all the array-related jade scrolls in a day.

He stayed in the Book Collection Pavilion for ten hours before he finally calmed down from his excitement.
