Chapter 502: Thunder Mountain Press
After glancing at Li Qian, the white-haired elder pointed to a row of bookshelves and said, "The meditation techniques are all there. You can look for yourself."
Li Qian's eyes lit up with curiosity at this sight.
Meditation techniques!
Precious meditation techniques!
They were laid out before him without any precautions, as common as newspapers and magazines in his past life.
It did seem rather unbelievable.
Thinking this, Li Qian turned his head and scanned the white-haired elder, instantly understanding some things.
To dare to display meditation techniques so casually on the fifth floor of the library's bookshelves, there could only be one answer besides the school not valuing them and not caring at all.
And that answer likely lay with this white-haired elder.
Li Qian guessed that this person was probably another sage-like existence, similar to Ying Lao.
"Hmm." After a simple guess, Li Qian didn't think much of it. He responded and headed straight to the bookshelf.
On the fifth floor, there were four rows of bookshelves. Just now, the white-haired elder had pointed to the second row in the middle.
Li Qian made no attempt to go beyond what the elder had indicated and headed to the second row.
There's a saying: Ignoring an elder's advice leads to trouble.
Li Qian didn't believe in this saying unless the elder was very wealthy or very powerful.
It was clear that the white-haired elder was the latter.
Upon reaching the bookshelf, Li Qian started examining it. The books on the shelf looked very ordinary.
There was nothing unusual.
Li Qian didn't understand why these seemingly mundane books couldn't be directly converted into digital versions and had to be in paper form.
Paper books were not only troublesome to preserve but also inconvenient to read, especially when one was used to VR glasses.
Despite his doubts, Li Qian didn't think much of it. He reached out to touch the first book.
And just as his fingers made contact with the book...
Buzz!
A silver-white light suddenly lit up like a waterfall, cascading down and enveloping him completely.
Li Qian felt his vision blur for a moment, and the next, the scenery underwent a drastic change.
He was no longer in front of the bookshelf on the fifth floor of the library.
No, to be precise, his consciousness was no longer in its original place.
He appeared in a strange, square space.
This space was surrounded by peculiar light curtains, and from a distance, it looked like a unique prison.
In the middle of the prison was a bookshelf, antiquely styled.
The bookshelf wasn't very tall or long, about the same size as an ordinary one, but when Li Qian saw it, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
There were books, which was normal!
There were jade slips and silk scrolls, which made sense!
There were leather scrolls, which was within reason.
But these grey stones, dark brown branches, shiny metal plates, and even emerald green potted plants were indeed beyond his expectations.
What did these things have to do with anything?
Li Qian felt his mind go blank.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that these were the "books" that recorded meditation techniques!
Now, he finally understood why the school dared to display the meditation techniques so openly.
Turns out, the display was just a decoy.
In the mysterious Mind Space, Li Qian was about to record a genuine meditation technique.
So well-hidden, even if someone found it, they might not be able to enter.
Without wasting time, after clearly understanding the situation on the fifth floor of the library, Li Qian directly reached out to touch the leather scroll closest to him.
Li Qian couldn't tell what animal or extraordinary being the leather came from.
Just as he extended his hand to touch it, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.
"Be careful. With your psychic energy, you can only view three meditation techniques at most."
Hearing this voice, Li Qian immediately recognized it as the voice of the white-haired elder who had just guided him, also the manager of the fifth floor of the library.
Without pause, the white-haired elder continued, "If you want to view a specific one, concentrate your psychic energy to observe, and you will receive information about it."
"Thank you!" Li Qian expressed his gratitude for the elder's reminder.
If it weren't for the elder's reminder, Li Qian might have really tried to read through them one by one.
After three scrolls, if he didn't find a suitable meditation technique, his psychic energy would be wasted, and he would feel embarrassed.
Wasting time was a small matter; he was more concerned about having only one chance to choose.
Now, with the elder's reminder, he didn't need to worry.
Li Qian retracted his hand, not touching the leather scroll, but instead concentrating, gazing at it. As he gazed, lines of information appeared.
[Thunder Meditation Technique, meditating on a strand of rain and night lightning, can temper the spirit's will, enhance psychic energy, and increase affinity with the Thunder attribute. When cultivated to a profound level, it can awaken the 'Thunder Heart' talent.
Li Qian looked at the information on the leather, his face slightly astonished.
Tempering the spirit's will and enhancing psychic energy were within his expectations.
Almost all meditation techniques had this characteristic.
However, cultivating to a profound level and awakening the 'Thunder Heart' talent was exceptional.
Possessing this talent could double the combat power of Thunder-type companion beasts; it was absolutely not a difficult task.
This 'Thunder Meditation Technique' was also very powerful, but Li Qian didn't consider it much and directly gave up on it.
His current companion beast could benefit from this enhancement, but only the Thunder Sparrow, which was separated from Wu You, felt a bit underwhelming.
Shifting his gaze, Li Qian continued to concentrate, focusing on a piece of dark stone next to the leather.
As Li Qian observed, information began to appear on the dark stone.
[Mountain Press Meditation Technique, when cultivated to a profound level, can enhance psychic energy and greatly increase the combat power of Earth attribute and Earth variant attribute companion beasts.]
Looking at this unremarkable stone, Li Qian couldn't help but slightly nod.
This meditation technique was also quite excellent. If the attribute matched, it would absolutely be a great help.
However, like the Thunder Meditation Technique, it didn't match his attribute.
Instead, it was quite suitable for his father.
Li Qian thought that if there was an opportunity in the future, he could exchange it for his father to use.
