Tales Of Demons And Gods- I Am Shen Yue

During the following days, Shen Yue treated Xiao Ninger in the forest as agreed. During each meeting, they hardly spoke and she seemed quite embarrassed. But after third day, she started to respond to his attempts to make small talk. Mostly about cultivation and school. 'Right, in the story mc gave her cultivation technique of wind and lightning origin which helped her breakthrough very quick. But I can't give her one since I need many techniques before my Library can form a better or perfect technique. Maybe I should ask her.'

"Ninger, can I ask you something?"

"Yes, of course. You have helped me greatly. I feel a lot better now. What do you need?", Ninger felt glad at the opportunity to repay his favor. In her mind, Shen Yue is an arrogant young master from a major family while she is from an insignificant noble family. But after meeting for a few times, he does not display any sort of arrogance and seemed almost like an ordinary person. She was even able to make small talk with him. But she doesn't want to owe him much. Also, she isn't going to marry his brother Shen Fei even if she has to break ties with her family.

"Well, that is… I was wondering if you can bring me some of your family wind lightning techniques. Don't worry, I know it's a secret for your family. I don't need high level techniques just as many as you can get for low level ones. I only want to take a look at them, I don't even need to take them with me. I am interested in studying different techniques." 'I hope she doesn't misunderstand me'.

"Oh, …sure. If it's just low level techniques we have a lot at my family. I can bring them to you next time we meet."

Shen Yue went home after that. He tried to remember from his memory what Nie Li is going to do in the story. 'First, he should be buying purple mist grass to take advantage of the rise in price after he sent to the alchemists a formula for spirit recovery pill. But since he has no connection with Xiao Ninger, I wonder how he will get money. I am sure he has his ways. I don't need money so I shouldn't interfere with this. I must prepare for the trip to the ruins. First I will select the demon spirit for myself.'

After talking with his father, Shen Yue got a demon spirit from family's treasury. By identifying different spirits inside the treasury with his Library, he was most satisfied with the Black Tiger demon spirit. He practiced his spirit to be able to control it and to increase his fighting strength. Right now, he is at the top of silver rank. There are different levels for each rank distinguished by 1star 2star, etc, after 10 stars is another rank. But with his Library of Heaven, he was able to rise to the top of Silver rank without much difficulty. He is only a step away from Gold rank. But he doesn't have enough books in his family's library for gold rank. There are about 20 or so books but he will need about 50 books to get a perfect Heaven technique to cultivate Gold rank. He decided to use his family to look for different books on Gold rank. Since the quality is not necessary, his family was able to gather about 30 more books necessary from other noble families in just about three days.

Shen Yue used all the books for Gold rank to form a perfect cultivation path using his Library. He then decided to skip school and cultivate the whole day in his room. Just like last time, after about a day and a half he felt his soul force rise suddenly and made another breakthrough. He used a soul stone to test and indeed he was now at pinnacle of Gold rank. His demon spirit also became much stronger. Gold rank fighters are not common in Glory city. Only noble families are able to hire them as high level guards. But gold rank fighter at his age was not something imaginable at all. But to breakthrough to Black Gold rank, his family only have about 15 books or so on it. The other noble families or the academy's library are not likely to have them. Only major families like City Lord and Divine family are likely to have those. But to assess those books would not be easy.

Shen Yue decided to increase his knowledge in the meantime by flipping through all the books in the library in different fields apart from cultivation such as inscription, alchemy, arrays, etc. There were about a thousand books in his family library so it will probably take days to flip through all of them. After that, he would be able to access those books whenever necessary. He then decided to go to the library to look through some books.

Shen Yue found Nie Li and Zi Yun sitting on a table in the library. He remembered that it was then that Nie Li advised Zi Yun on her cultivation which would be extremely helpful to her. He decided to not interfere with them and turned out to leave. He caught the gazes of both Nie Li and Zi Yun. Nie Li had a challenging gaze but Zi Yun gave him a confused look. He didn't think much of it and returned home to keep flipping through books. In the original story, Shen Yue would find trouble with Nie Li for talking to Zi Yun and become his enemy. Right now, Chen Yue is trying to keep a distance from Nie Li and keep getting stronger.
