Bab 164: Mistblade Moon Emperor

Finding the books was exponentially more difficult than locating the section. The latter only required scanning the magical symbols on either side of the aisles, but finding the actual books meant checking each one individually. Ironically, the most difficult-sounding collection, the 189 volumes of *Moonlight Potions: The Alchemical Key*, turned out to be the easiest to locate due to its sheer size—an entire row of nearly identical titles. Missing it would have been impossible.

However, the other two collections proved far more challenging. *The Most Mysterious Alchemical Material: Moonshine*, which came in three volumes (upper, middle, and lower), and *Moonlight and Time*, with only two volumes, were scattered among tens of thousands—if not hundreds of thousands—of books. Finding five specific volumes amidst this massive collection was no small feat.
