Chapter 1701: Chapter 1706: Enlightenment from Sweeping
The reason for extending his hand was to use the conduction of spiritual power to imprint those books into his mind, then savor them, deliberately keeping the useful parts and discarding the useless ones, as they served no purpose.
Thus, after three months, Lin Fei placed the last book back on the shelf. In this span of time, he had finished reading all the books here. Needless to say, he had gained a lot; he now understood the Upper Realm and even imprinted a sketch of it in his mind.
"It’s time to go back and see, I don’t know how long it’s been," Lin Fei thought to himself, then stood up, ready to return.
However, just as he reached the entrance of the Book Pavilion, he saw that elder sweeping again, but this time the feeling was different. Lin Fei could clearly sense the difference.
Lin Fei watched the elder sweeping and became lost in thought; he realized that the elder’s sweeping movement was so plain. It was precisely because it was so plain that Lin Fei felt no airflow, yet the elder’s arm and the broom in his hand continued to move steadily.
Finally, Lin Fei observed that the elder did nothing else but sweep continuously. Lin Fei found it very strange. Why would such a master sweep here?
Lin Fei finally decided to sit cross-legged and watch how the elder accomplished this.
Lin Fei sat in front of that elder, attracting a lot of disciples’ attention, but they couldn’t fathom what was going on and thought Lin Fei was just seeking attention, so they ignored him. However, Lin Fei sat there for three months, and in the blink of an eye, the time had passed.
That day, Li Qing and Yang Yuxiang came to look up some information at the Book Pavilion, and to their surprise, they found Lin Fei, who had disappeared for several months, at the cave entrance of the Book Pavilion.
"Why is Junior Brother here?!" exclaimed Yang Yuxiang.
"Who knows, but look, isn’t he watching this senior sweep?"
With Li Qing’s reminder, Yang Yuxiang realized and walked behind Lin Fei, noticing what Lin Fei was looking at; Li Qing was right.
"Should we wake Junior Brother up?" Li Qing suggested.
"I don’t think that’s necessary. We should go inform the Law Enforcement Hall. After all, they think Lin Fei has escaped. We can help explain the situation."
"Alright, let’s head to the Law Enforcement Hall, otherwise, if they find and take Lin Fei away, it’ll be hard to explain."
The two went to the Law Enforcement Hall, and after explaining to Elder Zhu San of the Law Enforcement Hall, he sent someone to check, and indeed Lin Fei was sitting cross-legged on the ground.
However, just as the disciple was about to wake Lin Fei, he suddenly felt an invisible wall encasing Lin Fei. When he attempted to break the wall, a heavy force slammed into him, sending him flying into the wall.
Afterward, Elder Zhu San received the news and personally headed to the Book Pavilion. "I refuse to believe that a mere person of the Lower Realm dares to injure a disciple. Do they really think I don’t exist?!"
Elder Zhu San arrived and immediately saw Lin Fei. He approached Lin Fei and reached out to grab Lin Fei’s shoulder, encountering the same wall.
Unperturbed, Zhu San released his True Qi, hurling it at the transparent wall before him. However, by then, many disciples were standing at the door. Suddenly, a streak of Flowing Light flashed by, and in an instant, Elder Zhu San was sent flying, vomiting a mouthful of blood. He quickly came toward Lin Fei.
Reaching Lin Fei, Zhu San knelt down hastily and said, "I am sorry! It was my mistake, senior, I shouldn’t have disturbed you. I will leave immediately!"
Saying this, Zhu San stumbled as he left, while the elder sweeping remained unchanged, continuing to sweep the ground, and Lin Fei continued watching the elder’s sweeping trajectory, slowly comprehending.
The surrounding disciples were astounded, never having seen the elder take action before. They didn’t notice the elder make a move just now, but if it wasn’t him, who else could have subdued Zhu San?
The crowd couldn’t help but be awed, realizing that the ordinary sweeping elder was indeed so formidable, capable of sending Law Enforcement Elder Zhu San flying without moving. What a master of the True God Realm!
Li Qing and Yang Yuxiang were incredulous, surprised that the elder was protecting Lin Fei. What had happened? Did Lin Fei and the elder improve their relationship over the past few months?
Not only were they puzzled, but other disciples also began to discuss.
"Sigh, how is it that this guy is so lucky? Although I saw him reading here day and night, seemingly for over three months without any rest, it’s truly admirable."
"Isn’t he from the Lower Realm? You even admire someone from the Lower Realm?" said a nearby disciple.
The disciple who spoke first shrugged, "Regardless, his strength isn’t the point. He gained the elder’s favor, which is more than we can say. What’s not to admire? Do you disrespect others regardless of their strength?"
Hearing this, the other disciple didn’t know how to respond and snorted, saying no more, knowing that further words were useless.
Eventually, the crowd gradually dispersed, while Lin Fei remained engrossed in deciphering the rhythm of the elder’s arm movement and that inexplicable feeling. Why was it so plain? Could the essence of plainness truly be this?
"No! Within plainness lies traces of the Dao, and these traces have a similarity with the Godspeed Talisman?!" Lin Fei was astonished, still unable to understand how the elder managed such movements. Could the elder also wield the Godspeed Talisman? It seemed too incredible!
"So tired!"
Lin Fei finally woke up, stood, stretched his arms, giving a fierce pull on his muscles, and returned to normal.
"Senior, have you heard of the Godspeed Talisman?"
The first thing Lin Fei said upon waking was to ask the elder, causing nearby disciples to look at Lin Fei in surprise. However, they all knew the elder never spoke, so they didn’t pay it much mind.
Yet, surprisingly, the elder spoke!
"I have heard of it."
