Chapter 542: Chapter 502: Thunder and Mountain Suppression

After glancing at Li Qian, the white-haired old lady pointed to a row of bookshelves. "The Meditation Methods are all there. Go see for yourself."

A glimmer of curiosity appeared in Li Qian’s eyes as he took in the scene.

Meditation Methods!

’Precious Meditation Methods!’

’Just laid out before him without any precautions, as if they were dime-a-dozen newspapers and magazines from his past life.’

’It seemed truly unbelievable.’

As these thoughts ran through his head, Li Qian glanced over at the white-haired old lady and had a moment of realization.

For the school to dare display the Meditation Methods so casually on the fifth-floor shelves, there could only be one explanation, aside from the possibility that the school simply didn’t care about them in the slightest.

And that reason was likely embodied by the white-haired old lady herself.

Li Qian guessed that, in all likelihood, she was a hidden master, much like Elder Ying.

"Mm." After this brief speculation, Li Qian didn’t dwell on it. He acknowledged her and walked straight toward the bookshelves.

There were four rows of bookshelves on the fifth floor. The white-haired old lady had pointed to the second one.

Li Qian didn’t do anything he wasn’t supposed to; he followed the old lady’s directions and went to the second row.

There’s an old saying: He who does not listen to the elderly will suffer a loss right before his eyes.

Li Qian didn’t believe in that saying—unless the elder in question was very rich or incredibly Powerful.

Clearly, the white-haired old lady was the latter.

Arriving at the bookshelf, Li Qian began to look it over. The books on it looked very ordinary.

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

Li Qian didn’t understand why such seemingly unremarkable books couldn’t be digitized and had to be kept in physical form.

Physical books were not only a pain to preserve, but they were also inconvenient to read.

Especially for someone used to reading with VR glasses.

Despite his confusion, Li Qian didn’t dwell on it. He reached out to touch the first book.

And at the very moment his finger touched the book...

HUM!

A silvery-white light suddenly flared, cascading down like a waterfall from the heavens and completely enveloping him.

Li Qian’s vision blurred. The next moment, the scene before him had changed dramatically.

He was no longer in front of the bookshelf on the fifth floor of the library.

No, to be more precise, his consciousness was no longer in its original place.

He had appeared inside a strange space.

It was a square space, enclosed by peculiar curtains of light. From a distance, it looked like a strange cell.

In the center of this cell stood a single, ancient-looking bookshelf.

The bookshelf wasn’t very tall or long, about the size of a normal one. Yet, when Li Qian saw it, he couldn’t help but look astonished.

The items displayed on it were far beyond his expectations.

’Books, that’s normal!’

’Bamboo and jade slips, I can see that!’

’Strips of cloth and leather, that’s also reasonable.’

’But a dusty-gray stone, a dark brown branch, a gleaming sheet of iron, and even a verdant potted plant... that was truly beyond anything he had expected.’

’What in the world is all this?’

’Li Qian felt like his brain was about to short-circuit.’

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that these were the "books" containing the Meditation Methods!

Now he finally understood why the school dared to display the Meditation Methods so brazenly.

Turns out, the display was just a facade.

The real Meditation Methods were inscribed within this strange consciousness space.

’So well hidden. Even if an ordinary person found this place, they probably wouldn’t be able to get in.’

Not wanting to waste any time, now that he understood the true nature of the fifth-floor shelves, Li Qian reached out to touch the nearest roll of leather.

Li Qian couldn’t tell what animal, or what Extraordinary Creature, the leather had come from.

Just as he reached out, about to touch it, a familiar voice suddenly echoed in his ear.

"A word of caution. With your current Spiritual Power, you can view three Meditation Methods at most."

Li Qian recognized the voice at once. It belonged to none other than the white-haired old lady who had guided him—the fifth-floor library’s administrator.

The old lady continued without a pause, "If you want to know about one, just focus your Spiritual Power on it. An information description will appear."

"Thank you!" Li Qian said immediately upon hearing her reminder.

’Without her warning,’ he thought, ’given my personality, I really might have tried to look at them one by one.’

’If I had looked at three without finding a suitable Meditation Method, and then my Spiritual Power ran out, I’d be in an awkward spot.’

’Wasting time would be the least of my worries; the real concern is that this might be my only chance to choose.’

But now, thanks to her reminder, he didn’t have to worry about that.

Li Qian pulled back his hand, not touching the roll of leather. Instead, he focused his Spirit and gazed at it intently. As he stared, lines of text began to materialize.

[Thunder Meditation Method: Meditate on an image of lightning on a rainy night. Can temper one’s spiritual will, enhance Spiritual Power, and increase one’s affinity for the Thunder Attribute. Cultivation to a profound level can awaken the Thunder Heart Talent.]

Li Qian’s expression was one of slight surprise as he read the information that had appeared on the leather.

Tempering spiritual will and enhancing Spiritual Power—that much he had expected.

Almost every Meditation Method had that characteristic.

However, the ability to awaken the "Thunder Heart" Talent upon reaching mastery was no small matter.

After all, even among Thunder-affinity Talents, "Thunder Heart" ranked near the very top.

With this Talent, doubling the combat power of a Thunder-type Pet Beast was by no means difficult.

This "Thunder Meditation Method" was very Powerful, but Li Qian didn’t give it much thought before dismissing it.

The only one of his current Pet Beasts that could benefit from this bonus was the Thunder Sparrow, and that was through Wu You. It was hardly worth the trouble.

Shifting his gaze, Li Qian focused his attention on a pitch-black rock next to the piece of leather.

As Li Qian concentrated his gaze on the pitch-black rock, information began to materialize on its surface.

[Mountain-Suppressing Meditation Method: Visualize five majestic mountains. Can train spiritual will and enhance Spiritual Power. Cultivation to a profound level can awaken the Beast Taming Talent "Mountain-Suppressing," which provides a significant combat power boost to Earth Element and Earth Element Mutated Attribute Pet Beasts.]

Looking at the unremarkable-looking rock, Li Qian couldn’t help but nod slightly.

’This Meditation Method is also quite excellent. If the attributes were a match, it would definitely be a huge help.’

But, just like the Thunder Meditation Method, its attributes didn’t align with his own.

’It would be perfect for his father, though.’

Li Qian thought that if he had the opportunity in the future, he could try to obtain it for his father.
