I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2574

Chapter 2574: Chapter 2573: Xuntian Clan, Contemplation of All Things

Upon hearing the maid’s explanation, Xu Zimei glanced back at the Black Mountain Old Demon.

The other party seemed somewhat embarrassed.

After all, he truly didn’t understand this Ancient Library.

Previously, when he was in the Heavenly Burial Grounds, he existed in the form of the Black Mountain.

He wasn’t familiar with many of the detailed aspects.

He only knew some general directions.

Xu Zimei directly asked, “What are valuable items, and what are ordinary items?”

“Our master’s interests are very unique, it’s hard to say.

Perhaps a story related to the old days might be considered a valuable item.”

“Or maybe an old book.”

“It depends on my master’s interpretation.”

The maid replied with a smile.

“But ordinary items are easier to identify.”

“As long as they are things coming out from the Heavenly Burial Grounds carrying the ancient aura, they can access the first-level books.”

“If they have phenomena of the old days, then they can enter the second level for reading.”

Xu Zimei didn’t have either of the two items the woman mentioned.

After all, he had just arrived at the Heavenly Burial Grounds.

Hadn’t had the chance to explore those ancient items.

But he thought of Old Zhang.

Considering Old Zhang was very interested in the items of the old days.

It just so happened that Xu Zimei could sense Old Zhang’s presence in this Sky View Corner.

So he used the mark he left on the other party’s body to directly send a message.

Asking the other party to come and meet him directly.

…

At this moment, in front of a magnificent mansion in the Sky View Corner.

Old Zhang wore a tattered black robe.

These days he endured hardships to collect those Innate Beads.

After all, those Innate Beads were vital to his life.

Sometimes he often wondered why he went there to sell items, only to meet the disaster named Xu Zimei.

Now, just to stay alive, he had to collect Innate Beads for Xu Zimei.

He had almost gathered all similar Innate Beads.

He had planned to find Xu Zimei proactively to trade these Innate Beads for his own freedom.

Unexpectedly, an accident occurred.

The Xuntian tribe at Sky View Corner also started to collect Innate Beads around this time.

When they found out he had a large stash of Innate Beads, they didn’t even say a word before snatching his Space Ring.

Taking all the Innate Beads in the Space Ring for themselves.

Old Zhang was almost driven to death from anger.

The money he had spent was mostly gone, and he had exerted so much effort.

In the end, someone else had benefitted from it.

These days he had constantly been trying to come up with solutions, stressing himself out.

He looked as if he aged decades.

Without the Innate Beads, he knew Xu Zimei, with his character, would not remove the mark on him.

In the end, he was doomed.

So these days he’d tried all sorts of ways.

But as it happened, the power of the Xuntian tribe was vast.

The Xuntian tribe, along with the Zhou Di tribe, ruled over this part of the Sky View Corner.

To have a domain in such a place as the Heavenly Burial Grounds, it shows just how powerful the Xuntian tribe was.

So, no matter what means Old Zhang considered these days, it was all in vain.

Just today, he suddenly received a message from Xu Zimei.

The mark within guided him.

Old Zhang was both thrilled and a bit anxious.

He knew Xu Zimei would eventually come here.

But he didn’t expect it to be so sudden.

“No matter, it’s just facing the knife either way.”

Old Zhang clenched his teeth, thinking to himself.

“I’ll just tell him about the Xuntian tribe situation, then it has nothing to do with me.”

He followed the mark’s guidance to enter the Ancient Library.

“My lord.”

Upon seeing Xu Zimei, Old Zhang hurriedly saluted.

“It’s been a while, you’ve changed quite a bit,” Xu Zimei said, looking at the aged Old Zhang.

Old Zhang sighed deeply.

Xu Zimei frowned slightly.

He instinctively sensed that something had happened.

But he wasn’t in a rush to ask.

Instead, he first said, “To read here, you need items with ancient auras. Do you have them?”

Old Zhang was taken aback.

Then he took out a bone jade from his waist.

This bone jade was as its name described.

Made from bone.

But it was polished so smoothly, just like pure, flawless jade.

A blue dragon pattern lay within it.

If it required items showcasing ancient phenomena, Old Zhang really didn’t have them.

But just the ancient aura, Old Zhang could come up with a few items.

He said, “This is the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant, awarded to subordinate tribes by the ancient Dragon Clan, acquired from a Python Clan ruin.”

The maid took the bone jade and examined it.

Then she smiled and said, “This item will suffice.”

“Young master can freely peruse the first floor’s books for an entire day, until tomorrow morning.”

This maid was someone who could recognize worthwhile items.

No matter the item, with just a look from her,

Its grade and effects were clear at a glance.

Thus, even being a mere maid here requires skill.

Having received the approval from the other party.

Xu Zimei began wandering inside the library.

There were quite many people reading books here.

But most were relatively quiet, with only occasional sounds of pages turning.

Xu Zimei made a round.

He found that the books here were mostly sect secrets, cultivation systems, and historical humanities.

The information here was quite complete.

The exploration of the old days was thorough.

However, Xu Zimei also noticed.

The items mentioned here were relatively low-level.

For instance, the sects were small, not of super powers.

Or the cultivation systems were of low-grade cultivation methods.

Xu Zimei roughly deduced.

The second-floor books should be more advanced.

And the books on the third top floor were the most confidential.

But he wasn’t in any hurry, randomly flipped a cultivation technique book, and started reading.

These ancient cultivation systems were quite interesting.

For instance, the ancient humans believed human power was limited.

While the Heaven and Earth Power was boundless.

“Contemplation” was one of their most common cultivation ways.

It was also the most vast cultivation system.

They contemplated the sun and moon, mountains and rivers, Heaven and Earth, even the myriad of living beings, white bone skeletons, divine demons, monsters, and immortals…

Depending on the contemplation method, each person took a different path.

Just like there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes.

A thousand contemplators viewed the world from entirely different angles.

So the cultivation of the ancient beings.

Was filled with wild desolation and uniqueness.

While reading, Xu Zimei calmly asked.

“So tell me, has something happened?”

Old Zhang quickly knelt down.

He said, “My lord, it’s my incompetence, the Innate Beads I’ve collected have been taken by others.”

“Then you really are useless,” Xu Zimei said flatly.
