Chapter 30: Mountain Range Annotations
With the arrival of winter, cultivators from various sects typically take this time to rest.
Demonic creatures hide away, and demon-slaying missions are less critical.
Su Chen sought out Yao Shijie and Wu Shixie.
He wanted to inquire about available tasks to earn some merit.
Now that winter has set in, aside from some basic affairs, are there any other tasks?
For sect disciples, the period after the winter solstice is also an excellent time for seclusion and cultivation.
The elders of the sect usually return during this time.
It's an opportunity to seek guidance and ask questions.
Su Chen soon received an answer.
Yao Shijie, Wu Shixie, and others will spend this winter in quiet cultivation in Tiangang City.
The doubts accumulated over the year can also be answered by my master during this time."

Character's Thoughts: "Just tell me..."
At the third hour, Mr. Ji Sheng still arrived on time but leaned against a chair, taking a relaxed rest.
Su Chen didn't hesitate and...
Hearing that he needed to borrow a token to visit the Library Tower, Ji Sheng casually pulled out his own token.
"You have one hour. Return the token to me when you're done."
Upon hearing this, Su Chen took the token and quickly ran towards the Library Tower.
In terms of heritage, Tiangang City was not inferior to the Yunyang Sect.
Moreover, the city had a lot of trade, and its interaction with the outside world was even more frequent.
The collection in the Library Tower was also significantly larger than that of the Yunyang Sect.
Su Chen was looking for general knowledge books.
Herb manuals, detailed geographical explanations, and the like.
These types of books were considered ordinary in various sects.
Unlike cultivation techniques and skill manuals, which required a large amount of contribution points to borrow.
Su Chen found four books, registered them, and then quickly returned to the pavilion with the token.
When returning the token to Ji Sheng, he reached out and flipped through it.
He took a glance at what books Su Chen had borrowed.
Ji Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled.
“Are you planning to go to the wilderness to gather some herbs?”
“Winter missions are hard to come by, and demons are in hiding. I want to give it a try.
The path of cultivation is demanding, and I also want to make some preparations.”
Hearing Su Chen's response, Ji Sheng smiled but refrained from discouraging him.
Perhaps he also thought it was beneath him and that Su Chen was just making a fuss, unlikely to achieve any real results.
He was probably just too lazy to say more.
As Su Chen was about to leave with the books, Ji Sheng stood up and offered a reminder.
“It's best to stay away from the Mao Family Valley to the south.
There might be powerful cultivators entering that area this winter to slay demons.
It's better to keep a distance and avoid getting hurt unnecessarily.
Also, remember to come back for the new disciples' martial arts tournament after spring arrives.
Even if you concede defeat, you'll still receive some rewards from the sect.
Of course, the main reason is that if you don't participate, I'll get scolded by the elders."
Su Chen bowed to Ji Sheng in gratitude for his advice.
Ji Sheng waved his hand, indicating there was no need for further words.
Back in his small courtyard, Su Chen immediately started flipping through the basic books.
With the activation of his Heaven's Will, the [Seeker of Knowledge], his comprehension and memory improved significantly.
These books were worth reading, even if he didn't venture into the wilderness to gather herbs.
After spring arrives, there will undoubtedly be other demon-slaying missions.
The importance of surrounding geographical locations will become evident.
Whether it's cliffs, swamps, or beaches ahead, knowing these in advance will greatly increase one's chances of survival in the wilderness.
Even with the enhanced five senses from his Heaven's Will, [Demon Hunter Pioneer], there's still a need for a deeper understanding.
After finishing the Mountain Range Annotations, Su Chen started reading the Thousand Gold Herbal Formulas.
This manual introduced various herbs with vivid illustrations.
It provided annotations on the herbs' value, growth areas, and other relevant information.
For two whole days, Su Chen immersed himself in reading in his courtyard.
With the help of his Heaven's Will, [Seeker of Knowledge], he read quickly and retained the information well.
After reading the four books, Su Chen had some initial thoughts.
The surrounding wilderness was filled with precious herbs, but one had to venture deeper as the outer areas had already been picked clean by others.
