Wen Tianbao talked with Jian Chuan and Lin Yao and said goodbye with his fists. He drove the flying sword to the Merit Hall and entered the hall. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the library, he saw two disciples at the door talking. Wen Tianbao knew the two, one was a young man surnamed Zhang from the Human Resources Hall, and the other was a disciple surnamed Zeng from the library.

Wen Tianbao took the initiative to come forward and greeted: "Senior Brother Zhang!"

"So it's Junior Brother Fang." The young man surnamed Zhang turned his head. At first, he had not noticed Wen Tianbao's strangeness. However, the cynical disciple Zeng next to him said with a look of surprise: "How far has Junior Brother Fang's cultivation reached? He can't even see through me?"

When the young man surnamed Zhang heard this, he also felt a little sensitive, but he felt that Wen Tianbao had no spiritual power fluctuations all over his body, just like a mortal. He even used some secret technique, his eyes flashed with agility. After carefully reading it, he still couldn't see through Wen Tianbao's cultivation. Wen Tianbao then withdrew the "hidden Qi Array" and his cultivation level instantly returned to the peak of the fifth level of Qi refining.

"I thought Junior Brother Fang was not qualified, but unexpectedly, he rushed from the peak of the fourth level of Qi Refining to the peak of the fifth level of Qi Refining overnight?!" The young man surnamed Zhang was even more surprised.

"This may be because of a lot of experiences recently and some 'enlightenment'."

"'Sudden enlightenment'? The master told me that there are no monks who can 'sudden enlightenment' in all of them. Regardless of their qualifications, they are almost all among the people. This is the true 'Dao Heart' and the 'Line of Wisdom'. And the 'Dao Heart Cave' only detects whether the will is firm. It is rumored that some ancient monks did not need to practice martial arts at all, but realized the nature of the heaven and earth, so that they can attain enlightenment and become immortals in one go. Compared with the current monks, they are really far apart." The young man surnamed Zeng obviously has a good understanding of this.

"I didn't expect Junior Brother Zeng to know so much?" The young man surnamed Zhang was also surprised. He originally thought that the young man surnamed Zeng was just a playboy disciple, who was abandoned in his practice and was greedy for spiritual stones, and had some bad names in the sect. But when he heard the remarks of the young man surnamed Zeng, he felt that his horizons had broadened.

Wen Tianbao had an experience of "sudden enlightenment". Although it was only a small understanding, it also changed his mind and increased his cultivation. He also agreed with the words of the young man named Zeng. When he was "sudden enlightenment" that day, he felt that the spiritual power in his body was running rapidly, and his cultivation was dozens of times faster than usual. Although it was only a short time, the meaning was buried deep in his heart. If he had a "sudden enlightenment" like entering into a meditation, sitting for several days or even years, then what level could his realm reach?!

"The ancient monks are really so powerful? So are there any such monks now? How about comparing with ancient martial monks?" Wen Tianbao said curiously.

"Of course, there is an ancient saying: 'The lower one uses his power to break the barriers of immortality, the middle one uses spiritual enlightenment to the fairyland, and the higher ones understand the true nature of immortality.' Now even ancient martial arts, which are both integrated, may not be able to reach the 'higher realm'. However, we have embarked on the path of 'middle one', cultivate spiritual power, and gradually improve our realm. However, even if we have 'sudden enlightenment', we cannot compare to the real ancient monk." The young man surnamed Zeng seemed to have extremely profound knowledge, and he could express himself without thinking. All kinds of questions about cultivation were like clouds clearing and fog dissipating. Wen Tianbao and Zhang both thought and did not speak, and each had their own understanding.

"By the way, Brother Zeng, since you know so much, why are you stuck at the seventh level of Qi Refining for many years?" The young man surnamed Zhang had already called the other party "Brother Zeng".

"I guess Brother Zeng must practice a mysterious technique, combining the "sudden enlightenment" of ancient monks and the "realm of current monks. If one day one understands it, Brother Zeng's cultivation will definitely rise rapidly." Wen Tianbao said.

"Junior Brother Fang is indeed smart. From my words, I guessed the mystery of my martial arts. It seems that Brother Zhang recommends you to work in our library, which is indeed a good choice." The young man surnamed Zeng praised.

"I've been too rewarded. I have read many books in the secular world, especially some classics written by people in the secular world. These classics often contain many philosophies such as human ethics and the way of heaven. I just heard Senior Brother Zeng talk about the ancient monks and combined with Senior Brother Zeng's qualifications and card bottlenecks, and then I thought of the key here." Wen Tianbao was not humble and directly expressed his thoughts.

"Junior Brother Fang is indeed very smart." The young man surnamed Zeng smiled slightly, as if he had returned to his dandy state: "However, my junior brother is a little smart and cannot easily join our library. If there are a hundred spirit stones, maybe I can say a few words in front of my master, and then I will ensure that my junior brother enters my library with dignity."

"So dark? Hundreds of spirit stones? This is simply a person who eats people and doesn't spit bones!" Wen Tianbao frowned.

"Haha, it's just a joke." When the young man surnamed Zeng saw Wen Tianbao's serious expression, he couldn't help but smile: "If you work in the library, it would be like my junior brother. I have never cheated on my junior brother of the same school."

"Then aren't we all working in other places considered fellow disciples?" The young man surnamed Zhang seemed a little unhappy.

"No, no, no, forgive me for being outspoken, actually..." The young man surnamed Zeng scratched his head, "In fact, some things are also the master's tacit approval."

"No wonder, many brothers often complained to the hall masters because of the extra charges of the library, but they were ineffective. It turned out that it was because of Elder He. It seemed that Elder He was still worried about the things that happened back then and he could not come forward, so he instigated his disciples to break the rules of the sect, and the sect didn't dare to take care of them." The young man surnamed Zhang said. He turned his head and pointed at Wen Tianbao, and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. The application of the hall master has been almost done, it depends on Elder He. Can the junior brother's affairs be handled well?"

"Of course there is no problem." The young man surnamed Zeng slapped his chest and promised: "If I don't do my job well with Junior Brother Fang, I will take the initiative to offer hundreds of spirit stones to apologize."

"With your words, I can probably explain with confidence." The young man surnamed Zhang nodded, then patted Wen Tianbao's shoulder and said, "Now the matter is almost done. Junior Brother Fang, I think with your intelligence, you can definitely make up for the lack of qualifications. I won't say much, I have something to do, so I will take a step first."

After the young man surnamed Zhang said goodbye, Wen Tianbao followed the young man surnamed Zeng to the library.

Elder He was still sitting on a rocking chair like that day, swaying and wandering freely. Seeing Wen Tianbao and the young man surnamed Zeng came, he first glanced at Wen Tianbao inadvertently and asked, "You have just returned here after just one week. Could it be that you have any questions about the formation and want me to answer it?"

"I have to ask for answers to you, but I have to charge ten spiritual stones for the answer fee." Elder He was careless at first, but suddenly, a light flashed in his eyes, staring straight at Wen Tianbao, his tone changed: "This is?'Hidden Qi Array'! You have improved this Qi Refining Period Array to this level. This wonderful array design is really unprecedented. It is simple and complex, and it is full of changes in complexity. More importantly, it can actually condense light spots with spiritual power and set up a formation in his body!"

Elder He seemed to be examining a rare object, and stood up and turned around in Wen Tianbao. Wen Tianbao felt numb. He was afraid that Elder He would find the jade on his body after careful investigation. However, the jade was mysterious and hidden. Elder He paced back and forth, and even released his spiritual consciousness to observe, but did not find the jade. If the spiritual power in the jade was not activated, this jade would be like an extremely ordinary thing.

"If I hadn't checked in person, I almost thought you were possessed by a thousand-year-old devil." Unexpectedly, Elder He sat down again, looking at Wen Tianbao with great enthusiasm, as if he was admiring a peerless treasure. "I have to admit that your talent in formation is higher than mine in the past. This "hidden Qi array" has turned into magic in your hands. Obviously, it is not the ordinary Qi Refining Stage formation. Its exquisiteness is comparable to some Foundation Establishment stage formations. The key is that you can simplify the complex and use it in the Qi Refining Stage. This is really magical! I wonder how you thought of it?"

"Actually, I just made a mistake and combined it with one principle." Wen Tianbao told some of the principles of refining tools in "Soul Refining Art" combined with the principles of formation. After saying that, Elder He kept nodding. However, he did not reveal the fact that he had learned the martial arts of other sects, but said that he had read many classics and realized them from them.

"Okay! Since you have a deep understanding and very innovative, you are indeed a genius in learning formations. And a few days ago, I saw you at the peak of the fourth level of Qi Refining. After a while, you have reached the fifth level of Qi Refining. The qualifications of the eighth level of Qi Refining are also very good, comparable to some genius disciples. I decided to accept you as my second apprentice." Elder He slapped the table and said.

"Uh. I actually already have a master, I'm afraid..." Wen Tianbao's face was a little unnatural when Elder He stared at him. He was also a little moved, but because of his mysterious treasure jade, although Elder He had fallen from his realm, he is still in the elixir stage of the elixir stage. If he is not careful and exposes the treasure jade, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Elder He saw Wen Tianbao's expression and looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "If you don't want to worship me as your teacher, then what's the matter when you come to the Library? If you don't worship me as your teacher, I won't give you some questions for free."

"Master. Junior Brother Fang is here to work in the library." said the young man surnamed Zeng next to him.

"Oh? Since you have chosen to serve, why not just become a disciple? With your intelligence, I will do my best to help you learn the formation, provide resources, and practice. Although you have a master, it won't be a problem. If you take me as a master, it will not violate the rules of the sect. After all, as an elder, I have a transcendent position in the sect." Elder He advised again.

Wen Tianbao lowered his head, thought for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "Boy learned the formation, but he was just a moment of interest, thanks to the elder's praise."

Elder He suddenly had a flash of light in his eyes. He stared at Wen Tianbao for a long time. Wen Tianbao felt a numbness in his heart. If Baoyu hadn't suddenly burst out with a cold feeling, he would have trembled all over under this invisible pressure. Seeing that Wen Tianbao was nothing unusual, Elder He suddenly laughed and said, "Many disciples want to come to me as disciples, but I don't accept them. This time, I made an exception to accept disciples, but they were rejected by their disciples. It's interesting and interesting!"

"Elder...I..." Wen Tianbao gritted his teeth and was about to speak again, but he heard Elder He wave his hand and said, "Forget it, since you don't want to become a disciple, I won't force you. Just work here, it's just a pity for your formation talent. However, if you have any questions, you can ask, I won't charge you."

"Thank you, elder." Wen Tianbao bowed deeply, and the big stone in his heart fell down.

Some book friends pointed out the shortcomings. In fact, I felt that I had deviated from the direction as I wrote, so today I was going to make a few major changes, and some issues in the protagonist's practice time have also been revised.
