Chapter 148: Memory Scepter Upgrade!

A rare item, a universal upgrade scroll!

Su Ping had once obtained one when he upgraded the Pot Heaven and unlocked the Travel Shop.

After obtaining this item this time, Su Ping did not hesitate much.

He continued to use it on the Memory Scepter.

As for the Fire Knight, which was also of rare grade, it would still have to continue waiting in line.

Immediately, as the Memory Scepter emitted a Golden Light, the cooldown time did not change, but the number of Memory Illusions increased from one to two.

Thus, as long as Su Ping could multitask, he could simultaneously have two partners appear in places outside the Pot Heaven.

If one added the main body that was not being played.

A formation of three could already be formed!

The practicality had undoubtedly been greatly improved once again.

Su Ping revealed a smile.

He immediately tested the new ability of the Memory Scepter in the front courtyard of the Zhaoyue Tingfeng Pavilion.

Suddenly, a Fire Knight and an Exorcist Mage Memory Illusion appeared before Su Ping's eyes at the same time.

Then, these two Memory Illusions began to fight each other, fighting from the ground to the sky, and then from the sky to the space above another mountain peak.

The loud noise produced was like thunder, even attracting the attention of Zhou Xuan and the others.

A few minutes later, Su Ping had played enough and turned his gaze to the new main building, the ancient and dilapidated Great Library.

He first went to the second mountain peak to remove the Floating Vanity Dream Temple.

Then he summoned this new main building.

Suddenly, a stone Great Library built of huge white stones, somewhat similar in style to the Library of Alexandria in games, emerged.

After the installation was successful.

Su Ping walked in.

As soon as he entered, Su Ping, as the owner, sensed the information of the Great Library.

This Great Library currently had one owner's room and twelve guest lounges.

There was a large book collection area with a total of three floors and twenty-four small reading areas.

Reading in the reading area could provide a slight boost to concentration and comprehension.

The first condition for upgrading was to find enough books to fill at least eighty percent of the bookshelves in this empty book collection area that did not have a single book.

It seemed like just finding books to fill the library, but in fact, there were quite a few restrictions; books that could be collected could not just be any random comic books or books written by oneself to meet the requirements.

They must have real substance and be recognized and seriously read by a certain amount of intelligent life to count.

Moreover, there were also classification requirements for the types of books.

Cultural history, natural science and technology, and even astronomy and geography, extraordinary mysteries; different categories also had different subtle requirements.

After Su Ping carefully understood the requirements, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he had the resources of two worlds at his disposal.

The upgrade requirements for this Great Library were a bit complicated, but it was not a big problem for him to meet these conditions!

Su Ping first took out the books from the Cultivation World.

He also had the cat-girls and rabbit-girls put down their work and come to this Great Library to serve as temporary librarians.

Later, when returning to Water Blue Star, he directly had Huang Zong and the other five go to nearby cities to buy up all the books in those libraries.

For what was still not enough, he swept up goods directly from the domestic second-hand book market.

In just a few days, this ancient Great Library was piled full of cultural crystals from Water Blue Star.

Soon, except for the extraordinary mystery section, other book collection areas reached over ninety percent of their storage capacity.

Su Ping tried throwing in some Immortal Sect novels, only to find that these novels were classified as miscellaneous books.

He could not take shortcuts, so Su Ping had to give up.

"It seems I still have to find the real stuff."

"Fortunately, it also recognizes books on the Side-Door Path."

"In addition, for a portion of the Martial Dao Divine Skills, as long as they can theoretically reach the first or second layer of Qi Refining, there is a probability they can be included."

"Hmm... should I continue to use this Foundation Establishment old face of mine to memorize these Side-Door Path books and Martial Dao Divine Skills at various Sutra Repositories, and then copy them again to fill the library?"

With this thought, Su Ping returned to the Cultivation World.

Jiuye Mountain Market.

Apart from going to Linyue Lake for Fishing last time, Su Ping had basically not left the Market these past few days.

He appeared very low-key in the eyes of others.

That is, apart from cultivation, he had suddenly developed a hobby of collecting Side-Door Path books and various Martial Dao Cultivation Methods in the last few days.

After this hobby was exposed.

It immediately attracted wealthy families who catered to his preferences to send people to take the initiative to deliver Martial Dao Cultivation Methods.

Then, one of the wealthy families that sent the most was actually personally summoned by this Foundation Establishment True Person of the Jiuye Mountain Market.

Not only was a Divine Sense Wooden Tablet bestowed, but he was also promised the management authority of a newly developed block at the foot of the mountain, and a bottle of Pill was also bestowed.

Although it was only a Medium Pill.

For the wealthy families among mortals, it could be considered a great favor.

With this precedent, even wealthy families thousands of miles away were tempted and sent their confidants with copies of their family collections to try their luck.

Su Ping did not refuse anyone who came for this, and gave different rewards according to the quality of the books.

Su Ping even recruited a few Ji Family members who worked seriously and let them cooperate with that Manager Dongfang to list a table.

The cultivation methods already on the table were naturally not accepted, and at most, some travel expenses were given.

As for cultivation techniques not present in the records, different rewards are given based on the theoretical level one can reach.

Those who provide a large quantity of techniques at once can also receive extra rewards.

As for Side-Door Paths beyond martial arts, and even orthodox cultivation techniques.

There is basically no possibility of receiving new stock among the common folk.

As for the common goods that those Loose Cultivators know, Su Ping already had them and had sent them into the Great Library.

This day, Su Ping received a letter from Xiao Mu Zhenren of the Yunshan Market.

It turned out that the Yunshan Exchange Meeting had to be suspended for certain reasons.

Su Ping was not surprised by this.

The events that occurred at the Bai Family of Golden Spring City seem surprisingly calm, but that does not mean everyone can just act as if nothing happened.

Especially since the Eye of the Evil God appeared that day.

Every single Cultivator who saw that scene suffered varying degrees of psychological trauma.

Those with defects in their Divine Soul are very likely to experience abnormalities such as an unstable state of mind.

At the same time, all parties have also realized the fact that Evil Cultivators have even infiltrated a long-established cultivation family.

Needless to say, every family in this region will conduct a major investigation.

Su Ping also heard some things from others.

He learned that for some reason, the big shots above are tight-lipped about the red-haired Cultivator who suddenly appeared and saved everyone present.

This led them, these Foundation Establishment Cultivators, to also take the initiative to stop investigating that red-haired Cultivator, and they warned their clansmen that while being careful of a white-haired youth, they must also pay attention to a red-haired Cultivator, and must never offend them!

And after the incident at the Bai Family of Golden Spring City, the Song Family of the Cultivator Alliance logically became a key target for investigation.

Then, that Old Ancestor of the Song Family was also a ruthless person; he stood up directly and admitted his collusion with the Black Underworld Sect.

But he himself is truly not an Evil Cultivator!

Afterwards, as this Old Ancestor destroyed his own cultivation in front of everyone and voluntarily became a prisoner of the investigation team led by the Artifact Heart Sect.

After the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Artifact Heart Sect used the Evil-Repelling Treasure Mirror to check all members of the Song Family and indeed found no Evil Qi or Demonic Path power.

They took away that Old Ancestor of the Song Family and the members of his direct lineage, then turned and left the Cultivator Alliance headquarters.

The Song Family, one of the three giants of the Cultivator Alliance, subsequently declined and is no longer a core force of the Alliance.

However, relying on the remaining two Foundation Establishment Cultivators to hold up the facade, plus having severed ties with the Old Ancestor.

It did not immediately fall to the bottom and become something anyone could bully.

Although the Cultivator Alliance did not have a major disaster.

In these past few days, the forces of the Black Underworld Sect have also surfaced in other regions.

The plan in Golden Spring City did indeed fail.

Yet they succeeded in the plans for several other, more distant regions.

It is rumored that an Avatar of the Evil God appeared in a city even larger than Jinque City.

And several small Markets were successfully subjected to Blood Sacrifice!

Although later, as multiple Golden Core Cultivators from other sects arrived, they forcefully cleaned up the mess.

Those regions have already turned into dangerous areas where Evil Spirits are everywhere and no living person can approach.

This caused the surrounding cultivation families to have to abandon their foundations overnight and flee their homes.

Nine Leaves Mountain even accepted branches from several small families because of this.

This made the available Cultivators gradually increase, so it is no longer as difficult as before to find a manager at the Mid-stage Qi Refining level.

Then, Su Ping, as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator after all.

Not long after the news of the major event carried out by the Black Underworld Sect arrived.

He received a letter from the Artifact Heart Sect.

While obtaining an Evil-Repelling Treasure Mirror Dharma Artifact gifted by the other party, he was also assigned several tasks to patrol for Evil Cultivators.

Su Ping did not shirk this.

Those places were all near Nine Leaves Mountain and Jinque City.

To be honest, for the safety of his residence, if there really were problems, Su Ping would go to investigate and handle them anyway.

And after the incident at the Bai Family of Golden Spring City, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators in this region are all feeling insecure.

A consensus has been reached regarding this matter of striking at Evil Cultivators.

If Su Ping were to refuse this small effort, he would instead be suspected of being involved with Evil Cultivators.

Thus, early the morning after receiving the Evil-Repelling Treasure Mirror.

Su Ping flew up into the air, carrying the treasure mirror and flying over one place after another where Evil Cultivators were suspected to exist.

Along the way, he channeled Dharma Power to ensure the treasure mirror remained in an activated state, shining upon the ground.

Once it shines upon Evil Qi, the treasure mirror will issue a warning.

At the same time, the movement and usage trajectory of the treasure mirror will also have synchronized records over at the Artifact Heart Sect.

This can be considered as ensuring that those Foundation Establishment Cultivators they cannot control do not just promise to act without actually doing anything.

Su Ping was busy all morning and completed the investigation of all areas.

As it turned out, no Evil Cultivators were found, but he did find a few people playing with Side-Door Path methods to harm others.

After discovering them, Su Ping wiped them out along the way and took away the items they used to harm people.

Then, Su Ping, having returned to the Jiuye Mountain Market and hung the Evil-Repelling Treasure Mirror in the Wanbao Pavilion as a Spirit Object to ward off evil.

With a movement of his Divine Sense, he heard someone in the market teahouse inciting Loose Cultivators to go to the northern areas where Evil Spirits had appeared to make a fortune.

Su Ping's first reaction was: have Evil Cultivators mixed in?

Upon listening, Su Ping realized he had overthought it; this should be considered a new path that has emerged with the changing environment.

Because the migration over there was too hasty, many cultivation families only brought their travel funds and precious inheritances.

Many decorative materials of some value on unimportant or difficult-to-transport buildings, and various low-grade Spirit Rice and Spirit Materials that could not be harvested in time.

As well as a massive amount of antique collections and books belonging to the families or individuals, were left behind in their settlements.

Of course, these things were not worth them running back and risking their lives.

But it is different for Loose Cultivators.

Compared to Evil Spirits... they are more afraid of being poor.

Furthermore, the Abbot is usually entrusted by those family members, hoping to find someone to retrieve some items that have special significance to them.

And because of this, they are not scurrying around like flies.

Instead, these are item-seeking missions with targets, maps, and even bounties!
