In King of Glory, the "Plunder" keyword has been completely exploited by Ah Li.

Jiang Che initially scoffed at such words, but now he completely believed them.

Yang Yuhuan is exactly that!

Even her gait is so elegant and charming; she is truly a rare and exquisite beauty!

........................

At midday, the sun shone brightly, its rays illuminating the sky.

After having lunch with his two young wives at Qingyun Manor, Jiang Che used his "Close at Hand, Distant at Heaven" ability to head straight towards the academy.

After arriving at the academy, Jiang Che greeted the many disciples with a smile before finally reaching the Sutra Repository.

Since returning from the Ten Thousand Mountains, Jiang Che's name has spread throughout the academy, and he is now considered a somewhat well-known figure.

After all, it's an incredible thing that a disciple at the peak of Qi Refining could hunt down countless second-tier demonic beasts and even some third-tier demonic beast cores in one mission.

Upon arriving at the Sutra Repository, Jiang Che did not linger on the first floor. He went straight to the second floor, handed over his points, and was then allowed to enter by the elder guarding the pavilion.

"You're very good..."

"The second floor of the Scripture Pavilion contains many profound-level cultivation techniques, covering a wide range of aspects. From now on, you can stay there for a whole day, just leave before noon tomorrow..."

After collecting the points, the elder guarding the pavilion stroked his white beard and looked at Jiang Che with a smile. His attitude was incredibly friendly, a stark contrast to the treatment Jiang Che received when he first came to the Scripture Pavilion.

"All day?"

"Isn't it only allowed to borrow one cultivation technique?"

Jiang Che paused for a moment, looked at the elder in front of him with some surprise, and asked curiously.

Before coming to the library, he had already thoroughly understood all the rules here.

One Yellow-rank cultivation technique from the first floor can be borrowed for 500 points, and one Profound-rank cultivation technique from the second floor can be borrowed for 1,000 points.

The other disciples of the academy who want to enter the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion will need at least a year and a half to accumulate enough points.

If you want to borrow more books, you'll need to use more points.

“Those are the other disciples, you are different…”

The elder chuckled and shook his head, looking at Jiang Che as if he were looking at a perfect piece of jade, and explained.

"Geniuses receive preferential treatment everywhere, and the academy is no exception..."

"This was personally ordered by the Dean..."

...........................

P.S.: I'm asking for flowers, monthly tickets, ratings, and all kinds of data.

044: Haiyue's Investment? Studying Formations! (Settings and questions are in this chapter)

After listening to the elder's explanation, Jiang Che finally understood.

He wasn't deliberately concealing his aura, revealing his mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation level.

When he joined the academy, he was only a cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

In just half a month, he has broken through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, and he did not rely on pills to force the breakthrough. It is only natural that this has attracted the attention of the academy.

Just as the elder in front of us said, geniuses are given preferential treatment wherever they go, and Jiang Che's displayed strength is absolutely worth the academy's investment.

A whole day!

This is more than enough for Jiang Che to consult and study many books on formations!

Thinking about it, Jiang Che felt a surge of excitement and became somewhat curious about Haiyue.

In his mind, Haiyue, this woman with so much bitterness and resentment, was not someone who could be easily reasoned with…

According to the original storyline of the King of Glory world, this woman should have gone to the opposite side of the Tang Dynasty, and she should be sleeping soundly in the Cloud Desert. She shouldn't be in Chang'an, let alone take on the position of Dean of the Academy.

"Thank you, elder!"

Shaking his head without thinking much, Jiang Che clasped his hands in thanks to the elder guarding the pavilion, and then stepped directly into the hall on the second floor.

Although Haiyue's various changes seemed somewhat unbelievable, Jiang Che understood that the world hadn't developed entirely according to the predetermined plot.

If Sikong Zhen could become Wu Zetian's loyal subordinate, why couldn't Haiyue befriend the Empress?

"Neither arrogant nor servile, humble and polite, with exceptional talent..."

"He's truly a promising talent!"

"The Dean's judgment is indeed sharp!"

Watching Jiang Che's departing figure, Elder Shouge sighed in admiration. Seeing that no one else was coming up, he lay back down in his rocking chair and began to close his eyes and pretend to sleep.

………………

After entering the attic hall, I looked around but didn't see anyone else.

Although Jiang Che was slightly surprised, he wasn't too surprised.

After all, the second floor is completely different from the first floor, and it's not a place that just anyone can come to.

Looking at the various cultivation techniques and manuals neatly arranged in the hall, Jiang Che quickly found the location of the formation area.

After browsing through the books, he took out a book called "Complete Explanation of Formations" from the bookshelf, sat down at the desk next to him, and began to read it with great concentration.

He doesn't lack sword skills now, and the Yin-Yang Longevity Technique is enough for the time being, so Jiang Che focuses all his attention on formations.

Like alchemists, formation masters also have different ranks.

Alchemists can be divided into nine ranks from low to high, and the same applies to formation masters. Yang Yuhuan was a genuine third-rank alchemist.

Moreover, she has been studying alchemy at Qingyun Manor recently, and it shouldn't be long before she breaks through again.

Previously, Jiang Che had never had any experience with formations, so he had to learn them from scratch.

Jiang Che read intently. Even without Yang Yuhuan's photographic memory, he could memorize all the key points after reading it two or three times.

Time flies by, the sun sets and night falls.

By the time Jiang Che had thoroughly mastered the "Complete Explanation of Formations," it was already quite dark.

The beginning is always the hardest. With an understanding of the Complete Book of Formations, Jiang Che will find it much easier to continue consulting various books on formations.

The room was quiet and still, with only the rustling of pages turning and the occasional whisper of leaves in the wind outside the window—a peaceful and beautiful scene.

"call………"

Jiang Che stretched and got up from his seat. After returning the complete guide to formations, he didn't slack off and picked up a few more books on formations to study.

.....................

The next day, noon.

By the time Jiang Che left the Scripture Pavilion, he had mastered the methods for setting up three different formations.

These are the Lesser Heavenly Return Formation, the Spirit Gathering Formation, and the Illusionary Spirit Formation.

These three formations are exactly what Jiang Che urgently needs right now. The Lesser Return to Heaven Formation can be used for defense, the Spirit Gathering Formation, as the name suggests, can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the Illusionary Spirit Formation can isolate cultivators from their divine sense probing.

Although Jiang Che had mastered the arrangement methods of these three formations, he only had the theory and still needed to improve his understanding and comprehension of formations through continuous practice.

Only by accumulating enough insights can one gradually break through the ranks of a formation master.

To set up a sufficiently powerful formation, the cultivator's own cultivation level is also indispensable.

.....................

P.S.: To answer a few questions in the comments section, regarding A-Li's hair color and Yun-Ying's twin tails, I will pay more attention to these details in the future to avoid too many errors. Sorry. Regarding Hai-Yue, if written according to the original setting, she would be a complete madwoman, so it definitely needs some changes, otherwise it wouldn't be able to be accepted. After all, this is a harem novel with a focus on gender roles, and A-Li and Li Xin not knowing each other is also understandable; otherwise, wouldn't it be a cuckolding situation? Although they are just childhood sweethearts, some readers still can't accept it, as are Yun-Ying and Zhao Huai-Zhen. Therefore, Zhao Huai-Zhen is not mentioned here and has been downplayed. Regarding obtaining attributes by hunting monsters, a function to fuse and upgrade attributes will be added later. The previous monster attributes were too weak, so they weren't included. What I write certainly won't be accepted by everyone, and I will try my best not to rewrite some plot points from the original work. If there are any complaints, please forgive me. Sorry.

045: [Sonic Power] [Iron Wall] [Talisman Master] (Seeking flowers and collection)

After leaving the academy, Jiang Che returned directly to Qingyun Manor.

Having mastered the methods of setting up the three formations, Jiang Che was eager to put them to the test.

As Jiang Che strolled leisurely towards the hall from the edge of the flower field, intending to share the good news with Yun Ying and his wife, Ali, when suddenly the system's notification sound rang in his mind.

"Ding, the randomly refreshed keywords have been updated..."

"Ding, system update successful. A new fusion upgrade feature has been added. The host can view it himself..."

"Integration and Upgrade" entry?

Jiang Che paused for a moment, then studied it with great interest.

According to the system, this fusion and upgrade feature, as the name suggests, can help merge low-grade entries together and then upgrade them.

"That's quite interesting..."

Jiang Che was full of anticipation, and then he merged all the random entries he had obtained from hunting monsters in the Hundred Thousand Mountains together.

The combined and upgraded sounds of the eagle's roar, the deer's cry, and the bird's song have become the [Sonic Wave Technique (Blue)].

[Strong as an ox], [Powerful and tall], [Impactful physique] have been upgraded to [Iron Wall (Blue)].

Jiang Che was too lazy to fuse and upgrade the remaining useless entries. The entry levels were too low, and they were all white entries. Even if the fusion and upgrade were successful, they would at most be some green entries.

"System, I need to refresh the entries..."

"Ding, refresh successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the entry [Talisman Master (Purple)]..."

"A talisman master?"

"That's rather interesting..."

Jiang Che was taken aback, feeling slightly surprised.

Although he had never cultivated talismans before, he had a general understanding of them and knew that they were also a type of attack method used by cultivators.

In the cultivation world, there are all kinds of cultivators.

Some cultivators specialize in swordsmanship, while others specialize in alchemy, formations, or weapon crafting. Still others cultivate Yin-Yang and Five Elements, talismans, lightning magic, or other qi cultivation techniques or poison cultivation.

There are so many varieties to count.

Generally speaking, among those of the same level, sword cultivators who focus on killing are definitely the strongest, but this cannot be generalized.

Just like the Thunder King Sikong Zhen, who wielded heavenly lightning with unparalleled skill and was virtually invincible among his peers.
