Chapter 6, Square Clay Pot

Many people use their grain reserves to exchange for books, with higher-level books requiring more grain points.

Currently in the Sutra Hall, he has been allocated sixty catties, which indicates that the treatment here is relatively good

At that moment, Xu Changping's voice was heard: "If you wish to view the books of higher levels here, you need the permission of the Hall Master, or you can exchange for the corresponding books using grain storage points. Reading secretly is a serious crime. To the left of the entrance, there is a bookshelf containing a scroll of silk, which includes the rules of the Scripture Repository and a map. You should take a look at it yourself and carry it with you, so as not to get lost."

It is said that no one who walks out of the Sutra Repository is weak

It is I. He hurriedly bowed.

The transition between each grade is not easy; for those who cultivate, there are different requirements. For someone of his age, to be able to cultivate a purple grade is a rare occurrence.

However, his own conditions are not better than Xu Xindie, and currently, it is very difficult for him to cultivate, let alone raise this ancient seed. It seems that he still needs to find a way to accumulate more wealth. He is very eager to cultivate, very eager to become stronger, and then rescue his mother

Here lies a pool of water, its quality light and exceptionally clear, imparting a sense of profound mystery. Taking a breath, Xu Zongyi feels particularly at ease.

However, at this moment, no matter what, daydreaming is of no use; one can only strengthen oneself in order to have the qualification to seek the truth

The number of people coming to the Sutra Hall in the morning is increasing, including some children who cannot hide their envy towards Xu Zongyi, wishing that it were themselves who were polishing the bookshelves here

Thank you, senior brother. Xu Zongyi understood that this place was not like the daily miscellaneous courtyard; no matter what, it was best to focus on completing the task at hand first

Next to this pond, there is a bamboo house. This place is exceptionally tranquil, making it an ideal location for cultivation, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is particularly abundant.

However, it is not the case that books from earlier times are necessarily better, which is why there are classifications. The universe is divided into eight levels: the primordial chaos of heaven and earth, leading to the delineation of eight distinct regions.

In the view of the Xu family in the countryside, books are of great importance, serving as the foundation passed down through generations

That night, he could not sleep at all, his mind occupied with thoughts of his parents, placing him in the daily necessities courtyard was also a last resort

Xu Changping, you must call me senior brother. He left only this one sentence before entering the Scripture Repository, his demeanor transcendent, leaving only a solitary figure behind.

It was only when he drew water that he realized he had not brought a container. The water from this well appeared quite ordinary compared to the water in the pond, but it was still far superior in quality to the well water in the daily miscellaneous courtyard

From the travel notes of some of the Xu ancestors from the farming family that he has read, it is evident that some individuals would go to great lengths to obtain a single drop of water. Although this pool appears to contain a considerable amount, it is by no means excessive. Standing by the edge of the pool can evoke a sense of complete relaxation and clarity of mind, undoubtedly remarkable

Although it is still the hour of the Rabbit, many people have already entered and exited the Sutra Hall

Ziping Qiangshen rice is the primary grain used by the Xu family from the countryside to establish the physique of novice cultivators, and it is extremely precious

The position of the master of the Scripture Hall is even higher than that of the clan leader, making him one of the prominent figures of the Xu family in the farming community

He went to that well again, drew up a large bucket of water, and poured it in. The same result appeared once more, and he felt a great shock. Shaking slightly, he heard the sound of something striking inside and suddenly remembered there was a dry seed.

Although there is currently no activation of the magic array, not everyone can leave the layout, and fortunately, every location is marked with the direction of the destination

Xiao E and a group of maidservants also tidied up their belongings, preparing to head to the Chunsheng Courtyard

Disappeared

Go back

He hurriedly dropped his burden and looked around the room. There was a bed, a table, a chair, an oil lamp, a jar of rice, and a pot. When he lifted the lid, his eyes widened in astonishment: "It is actually Purple Grade Strengthening Rice!"

"What the hell!" Xu Zongyi quickly looked at the bottom of the earthenware jar: "There is no leak, if there were, I would be able to see it. What is going on?"

Are you Xu Zongyi? The young man, around sixteen or seventeen years old, still bore a hint of youthful innocence on his face. He looked at Xu Zongyi and thought to himself: This must be the youngest person to enter the Sutra Repository.

"Zong Yi, in the Sutra Repository, you must be more cautious than in the miscellaneous courtyard; be careful in everything and do not cause any trouble," Xiao E earnestly advised.

Usually at the daily miscellaneous courtyard, with his level of diligence, it is already quite good for him to be able to eat the red-grade strength-enhancing rice. Yesterday, Xu Duande took out the purple-grade strength-enhancing rice to mock him for never having seen it, let alone eaten it

Originally, Xu Zongyi thought that wiping the bookshelf would be easy, but he realized he was mistaken

As for Xu Changping, although he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, his strength is extraordinary. Among the entire Xu family of farmers, only Xu Gongming from the Dongyuan Court can be compared to him

It is simply impossible to clean the entire scripture hall because it is too large

Appeared

What is going on here? Xu Zongyi was taken aback; he had not yet cultivated, yet this object could enter and exit his body like this, disappearing and appearing in accordance with his thoughts

One's own parents, one being hunted with an uncertain fate, and the other being captured and suppressed within their own clan

Understood. Xu Zongyi chuckled, as if nothing had happened.

Xu Zongyi's saliva is about to drip down, each realm of rice and grain is divided into seven grades: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, with purple being the highest quality

The older the book, the more obscure the text becomes, unless one possesses profound knowledge, exceptional talent, or is a person of great fortune, who can appreciate the essence contained within.

During the lunch break, he went to the backyard

Xu Zongyi took a deep breath, feeling increasingly excited in his heart. He looked at the silk book in his hand and continued to read on.

It is feared that there may be some hidden circumstances that one is unaware of

"Never mind, let's boil some water to cook first." He poured the water from the wooden bucket into the square ceramic jar, but to his surprise, after pouring one bucket of water, it was still not full. Clearly, the volume of the wooden bucket was larger than that of the square ceramic jar. When he set the wooden bucket down, he found that the water inside was already empty.

The people of ancient times are the same as those in the present era.

After several attempts, Xu Zongyi discovered that this pottery jar could actually appear and hide in accordance with his thoughts. Regardless, it can be considered as opening up a new realm. He also wondered what other functions this pottery jar might possess.

The scripture hall of the Xu family in the countryside is governed by strict rules

With a single thought, the four square clay jars suddenly appeared in his hands

This water is definitely not simple! Xu Zongyi was very excited, but he did not dare to act recklessly

Those who are able to work in the Sutra Hall are few and far between, as not everyone possesses such qualifications. Throughout history, the number of individuals allowed in the hall has never exceeded a mere handful.

Come out

"Senior brother, what should I do if I'm hungry?" Xu Zongyi had been working from morning until noon and had only completed a small portion, which was merely the tip of the iceberg.

As soon as the hour of the Rabbit arrived, he washed up, took his belongings, and stepped out of the house

"Walk straight through the backyard, and there is a small bamboo house; you can stay there." Xu Changping only left behind his voice

Therefore, if one wishes to work inside the Sutra Repository, it is essential to first become familiar with its layout, and the arrangement within will also change according to the variations of heaven and earth

The Sutra Repository is distinct from other places; it symbolizes the accumulation of the cultural heritage of the Xu family in the countryside, representing its profound essence

The Sutra Hall is a harmonious whole, constructed entirely of ancient stones in a deep black hue, giving one the impression of having endured the passage of long ages without decay, exuding a grand and imposing aura

Once entering this place, as if he were one of his disciples

Only the disciples of the Sutra Repository are allowed to enter here

"Senior brother? I actually have a senior brother now, so that means I also have a master, right? From now on, will someone teach me how to cultivate?" Xu Zongyi smiled brightly, his teeth white, and he was in a very good mood: "Hey? Senior brother, where am I going to live?"

Isn't it a dead seed? Xu Zongyi felt a surge of excitement in his heart as he held it in his hand, experiencing a very subtle sensation: Has it been completely drained by it?

As Xu Zongyi just arrived at the entrance, a young man holding a bamboo slip and exuding an aura of scholarly elegance stepped out. He was handsome in appearance and displayed refined manners

Xu Zongyi was startled and quickly set down the bamboo slips in his hand, taking up the silk book to examine it

The scriptures and various categories of books inside the Sutra Repository are all dated, classified into categories such as Mixed Ancient, Chaotic Ancient, Celestial Ancient, Terrestrial Ancient, and Human Ancient

Why does my mother's clan suppress her, even though my father violated the marriage contract and is at fault with the Chaos War Phoenix Clan?

Xu Zongyi hurriedly followed into the Sutra Hall, only to discover that this place was exceedingly vast, its area far exceeding his imagination

Exiting the east gate of the Miscellaneous Affairs Court, the Scripture Hall stands alone in its own realm

Although Xu Zongyi was very eager to take a sip, he still restrained himself

There is rice in your house, go to the backyard to start a fire and fetch water, remember not to take water from the pond indiscriminately, there is a well next to your house, cook it yourself

The young man held a certain level of recognition for Xu Zongyi, as he had indeed demonstrated exceptional talent by traversing the Soul-vanquishing Forest without having entered the realm of cultivation. It is no wonder that the hall master wished to admit him into the Scripture Repository.

The sky has brightened, and a ray of morning light has scattered down.

To become stronger, no matter what, my mother is definitely still alive, and I must rescue her! Xu Zongyi has made up his mind, regardless of how powerful the maternal clan is

Xu Zongyi was aware of his origins, and his emotions were quite complex

However, he did not linger for long and immediately returned to the Sutra Repository to wipe down the bookshelves inside

For someone like Xu Zongyi, who cherishes books as if they were life itself, it is only natural that he would treasure them even more. Having a general understanding of the rules of the Sutra Repository, he hurriedly passed through the repository and arrived at the backyard

Xu Zongyi picked up a large iron pot, set it up, and there happened to be a pile of firewood in the backyard

The books here are as numerous as the hairs on an ox, and he is extremely excited, casually picking up a book to read

Some ancient rare species have extremely high nutrient requirements, and many prominent families may spend their entire lives without being able to cultivate the beings within them

"Starting today, you will dust the bookshelf and clean the dust from the scrolls and the floor," he said with a slight smile, returning the gesture.

He then realized that the Sutra Repository was arranged according to the sixteen hexagrams of the Primordial Chaos. Without someone to guide him, it would be easy to get lost

The palace walls are covered with lush greenery, exuding vibrant vitality

Both parties are heading in different directions; after all, they are still in the Xu family of the farming community, so meeting is not difficult.

Ah, if only that pottery jar were here. Although Xu Zongyi felt that the jar was of no use, at this moment he suddenly recalled its merits.

If books are damaged, the cost will be even greater, equivalent to committing a serious crime, and the penalties will be extremely severe

Xu Zongyi, having just arrived, although extroverted in nature, did not dare to act recklessly, for this opportunity was hard-won, and he cherished it greatly

This time he drew water again and poured it into the square ceramic jar, discovering that it indeed had not been completely absorbed. This further confirmed one point: this seed was not a dead seed. As long as it was properly nurtured, it would surely bear fruit. Thinking of this, Xu Zongyi felt extremely excited, realizing that he was likely to experience great fortune.

May I ask how to address you, my dear friend? Xu Zongyi inquired

The pond is not far away, and he is very eager to fetch water from it to cook the rice, but Xu Changping has already stated that he can only go to the well next to the bamboo hut
