Bab 8: Thick Librarian
In the morning, when many disciples were heading out on missions or to lectures, Xiao Fang was just waking up. His earlier fatigue had all but disappeared. Instead, what resurfaced was his lustrous desires to cultivate.
Xiao Fang saw Li Lian dressing up. He still had his morning wood and wanted to relieve himself, but now she was already preparing to leave.
"Going out so soon?" he asked.
"Mn, I need to do missions to become an inner court disciple. I'll be back later tonight" she replied.
Xiao Fang finally understood why he saw some men hanging around the mission board yesterday.
"I'll miss you, Lian'er," he said.
She was already halfway out the door when she suddenly froze.
"Don't miss me too much," she said before leaving.
Xiao Fang racked his brain around trying to alleviate his boredom. He recalled the spatial pouch he was given at the end of the entrance exam. He took it out then began to check inside of it.
> 30 medium grade spirit pills
> 5,000 merit points
The medium grade spirit pills in his spatial pouch were valuable, but as a body cultivator he didn't really need it. He still held onto it in case he would need it in the future.
Xiao Fang eventually left the house too. Besides trying to improve his naked sword technique, there was another reason why he came to the Black Paradise sect. His mother had told him that there was a dual cultivation technique here. So, naturally, the sect's archives became the first place he wanted to check.

On the way to the sect's archives, Xiao Fang found a small romance library/bookstore. Although he never read romance novels in his spare time, his mother would often read it to him when he was younger. He knew it was a long shot, but since it was on the way, he decided to check in the bookstore first.
Sitting behind the front desk, Xiao Fang saw a beautiful girl peacefully and comfortably reading a book. She had long brown hair, hazel brown eyes, and small pearl earrings that made her face shine beautifully in the light.
Judging by her fitness he could immediately tell that she was a body cultivator, but unless he could feel inside her he wouldn't know for sure what realm she was in.
"Junior greets senior sister," Xiao Fang said.
She looked up at him then nodded kindly before asking, "How can I help you?"
"I'm looking for a particular cultivation technique, I was hoping senior sister could help me find it".
She put her book down then looked at Xiao Fang curiously.
"We don't have any techniques in this store, but if you're looking for research material on any particular technique or method I can find you some."
"I see. Do you have anything relating to dual cultivation."
"…"
There was an awkward silence. Truth was, Xiao Fang didn't think she would know what it was because it was a lost method only practiced in his province. However, her next words surprised him.
"Why do you need something like that?"
Judging by her reaction, he could tell that she knew what he was talking about, so he leaned in and said, "Why do you think?"
"Are... are you by any chance... a dual cultivator?"
"If I said I was, would you give me what I'm looking for?"
She stared deep into his glowing violet eyes as if she was slowly being hypnotized by them.
'This is a bit too awkward,' he thought.
Since she knew about dual cultivators that meant she rather had a dual cultivation technique, or her father was a bounty hunter. If the latter was true then this was a very dangerous conversation for him to have.
"On second thought, forget I was ever here," Xiao Fang said as he began to leave.
"Ah, wait. I-I was just shocked to meet a dual cultivator. I didn't think I'd ever meet one. Well I don't have any books on dual cultivation, but I do have a dual cultivation technique."
Xiao Fang turned around to face her.
"Elder Sister, If you really have a dual cultivation technique would it be alright if I borrowed it for a few days? I have enough merit points so please name your price."
"You can rent it out, but I have a few conditions."
"Name them."
"First-", she hesitated.
"First you must promise to satisfy me with this technique for at least 24hrs after you've learned it. Of course, it doesn't have to be in one session, we can do it over several days," she quickly explained as her cheeks turned red.
"That can be arranged, is that all?" Xiao Fang quickly replied nonchalantly.
His words hit her hard. He responded so quickly it almost seemed as though he was expecting it.
"Second, you need to prove to me that you know how to satisfy me before I give it to you," she asked greedily.
"Is there a third?" his plain words made her feel like vomiting a mouth full of blood. Each condition she made was as good as gold to her, but it seemed like they were merely a few spare bronze coins to him.
"I-I can't think of it on the spot, so let's just say you also owe me a favour."
Xiao Fang nodded, "Deal."
He reached out his hand waiting for her to grab it.
"What are you doing?"
"Your second condition. I will have to prove my abilities right?"
She froze looking at his hand.
"Uh... Un," she nodded.
She was almost in her 30s and felt as though she was slowly missing her opportunity to do these kinds of things. However, in Xiao Fang's eyes she seemed like she was only in her early 20s, because in the world of cultivation, age can be deceiving. Even if she looked 50 it wouldn't have made a difference in his eyes. In some cases, it may be completely dependent on your body cultivation realm.
Perhaps in any other sect she might be a peerless beauty, but in this sect she looked only slightly above average. Though she wasn't as shockingly beautiful as Li Lian, her curves were definitely much more generous. Furthermore, she had an expression of confidence, intelligence, and maturity that was unmatched for someone as young as her. She seemed as though there was nothing in this world that could break her, which only made Xiao Fang want to try her that much more.
She slapped Xiao Fang's hand away.
"Don't act so brazenly in public," she scolded him the way a senior sister normal would.
She then quickly called her junior sister, Xun Wei, to take over her post before going into the back room with Xiao Fang. The doors closed and Xiao Fang's piercing gaze became sharper as if he were a crouching tiger ready to pounce on his prey.

Meanwhile in the matriarch's main hall, a few elders got word of this mysterious child that had entered their sect. Some thought it was just the false eye testimony of an elder turned senile. Others that knew Elder Du well, knew this definitely was no small matter.
"Calm down there is still no proof that such a child exists. If worse comes to worse Elder Du can simply apologize for putting him in the outer court."
"Do you know how fast he must have been running?! Forget the challenges, even if our fastest inner court disciples were to simply run around this sect how many of them would be able to do it in under 4 hours, much less 3 hours. Imagine what kind of backer he must have. Would a mere apology truly be enough?"
Most practitioners in the cultivation world, including the elders in this room, would spend all of their efforts enhancing their spiritual cultivation, because it was much easier to train to the same strengths but with a fraction of the effort. However what they would lack is speed and stamina.
"Matriarch, this is truly a serious situation."
The Matriarch was in deep thought, in her head she believed no matter where the child came from there would be no way someone could surpass many of her elders in cultivation after only a few months of training. She eliminated the possibility that the child could be someone from the older generation, because unlike other sects they only accepted disciples that turned 18 that year and their skeletal age would be checked before and after entering the exam. The only way this could make sense was if this boy was a body cultivator, but this would mean he would at the very least be a Solid Body Realm cultivator, which is simply unheard of at his age.
"Quiet down. If this boy truly exists, then I'll need to see him myself. Keep your eyes open and try not to offend anyone you don't recognize," she said with a stern voice, giving off the airs of a queen.
"We understand, Matriarch."
The elders bowed then left without a word.
