Alien Science Cultivation

Wang Yan continued to explain, her voice still charming. Her figure was still graceful and elegant. Her eyes sparkled with an alluring glint, drawing one involuntarily. Half an hour later, she gave a brief overview of the Qingshan Sect. Shadow Peak holds a class every morning, where the head and assistant teachers teach the peak's specialties and help disciples resolve any doubts they may have during their cultivation. Cultivators can also consult the head and assistant teachers individually regarding their cultivation. Within the sect, cultivators can hunt exotic beasts, exchanging their inner elixir, fur, and blood for sect contribution points. These points can then be exchanged for cultivation techniques, elixirs, magical instruments, and more. They can also accept missions in the Mission Hall and receive corresponding rewards. They can also search for herbs and exchange them for rewards at the Miraculous Hands Hall, or take up positions within the sect... In short, there are many ways to earn contribution points. After class, each newcomer receives a set of clothing specific to their peak, allowing them to freely roam within a limited area of the sect.

After class, Zhang Qiang approached Senior Brother Wang Yu to inquire about how to reach the main peak. Then, he leisurely made his way toward the small teleportation array Wang Yu had mentioned. Approaching the array, he discovered that quite a few freshmen were heading to the main peak—seven in total. Besides Zhang Qiang, there was another young man. He was tall and thin, with a slight hunchback. His smiling eyes were always bright, and he seemed to have a knack for making girls happy. His thin lips chatted incessantly with the girls around him. Judging from his aura, he seemed to be at the early stages of Foundation Establishment. Zhang Qiang naturally recognized him: his name was Wang Wei, and he seemed to be the son of a fairly respectable cultivation family.

Zhang Qiang glanced at his sartorial outfit before finally mustering the courage to walk towards the teleportation array. He happened to meet Wang Wei, who glanced up at Zhang Qiang approaching and waved with a smile. It was remarkable how unassuming this young man seemed, despite his status as a gentleman. Zhang Qiang politely waved back. Wang Wei's wave drew the attention of the girls facing him. But once their eyes met Zhang Qiang's, they covered their faces with their hands, as if shyly giggling. Zhang Qiang couldn't help but feel awkward. "Haha... Brother Zhang, don't be shy. Your figure is a hundred times better than mine. We'll be heading to the main peak soon, and you'll definitely be the highlight," Wang Wei quipped, seemingly reassuringly. Hearing Wang Wei's words, the girls lowered their heads again, squinting, and scrutinizing Zhang Qiang. "Brother Wang, that's great... Are you going to the main peak? Anyone going to the Sutra Library? Can we go together..." Zhang Qiang inquired confidently. "Haha... I knew it was going to the Sutra Repository. After all, we young cultivators have so much to learn about the world of cultivation. Sigh... Chen Ying... you're going to the main peak too..." Wang Wei watched Zhang Qiang jokingly and cheerfully with the others, then changed the subject. Zhang Qiang couldn't help but turn around, meeting Chen Ying's gaze. Zhang Qiang smiled and nodded. Chen Ying's eyes flickered a few times, and she waved back in greeting. "Earth beauties are still so much more pleasant to look at... their slightly plump figures look even more rounded, with their pert buttocks. They're not particularly tall, but this black outfit makes them look even more agile." Zhang Qiang was just thinking this when a translucent white circular magic circle, nearly five meters in diameter, slowly appeared on the circular stone platform beneath Wang Wei's feet. It appeared before everyone. Silently, a portal about the height of a person opened, and everyone filed in. While this magic circle was impressive, it required time to wait. It only made four round trips a day, just like the buses on Earth, which run every six hours... The white magic circle shone brightly, then vanished moments later. On a circular stone platform of the same size on the main peak, a white circular magic circle slowly unfolded. Zhang Qiang and his companions hesitantly stepped out of it. They'd expected to attract attention, but in reality, few glances were paying attention. "Haha... I guess they're used to it..." Wang Wei muttered to himself, then led everyone up the mountain path with confidence. "This magic circle... the transmission speed is much slower than Dulong's silkworm shell... It seems we need to study the silkworm shell Dulong sent us... If we can control it as he wishes, this silkworm shell will surely be a life-saving magical tool in the future..."

The Sutra Repository, like an ancient and mysterious pagoda, stood silently. The nine-story tower, from the outside, looked like any other pagoda in a temple. The images of exotic beasts on it were vivid, as if they could come alive at any moment. The entire tower seemed seamlessly connected, giving it a sense of natural beauty, a masterpiece of nature. One might have thought the interior of this small tower would be modest, but once everyone stepped inside, the expanse was vaster than anyone had imagined. The vastness of the space was even greater than the main peak of the Qingshan Sect outside. A closer look revealed that this tower was identical to the one inhabited by the Sky Fox Clan in the Great Forest of the Western Regions.

As everyone was lost in thought, a young man in a white robe stepped forward. Upon learning they were new students, he briefly explained the rules and quietly retreated. New students were only allowed to browse within the tower and were not allowed to take anything out. Once they had accumulated contribution points, they could take anything out and return it within the stipulated timeframe. However, they were not allowed to leave the Qingshan Sect unless the tower elders approved. Contribution points were required to enter the second floor and above.

Zhang Qiang and his companions were all new to the tower. Gazing upon the densely packed bookshelves on the first floor, they felt like an endless treasure trove of knowledge. The books, neatly arranged, exuded an ancient atmosphere. On the counters lay countless crystal-like balls of various sizes and colors, along with bizarre animal horns and furs inscribed with inscriptions... There were even thousands of inscribed stone tablets... The entire group was stunned. It was easy to imagine the vastness of the information and knowledge contained within this Sutra Library.

The group quickly walked to the bookshelf, scanning the classified information, each searching for the information they were looking for. Zhang Qiang hesitated briefly, glancing in Chen Ying's direction, then casually turned to the books before him, flipping through them aimlessly. From elixirs, refining equipment, magical instruments, magic treasures, maps, cultivation techniques... all the way to strange stories and folklore, he flipped through nearly every category, spending roughly the same amount of time on each. He then looked at the crystal balls on the cabinets next to the bookshelf, large and small, colorful. Occasionally, he'd see a fellow cultivator place their hand on one, activating their spiritual power, as if they could see some information within. Zhang Qiang imitated them, trying it out. "Oh my god... these are like computers... so much information, and I can control the distance and size of the text within the crystal at will..." Zhang Qiang couldn't help but marvel. The amount of information contained in a small crystal ball far exceeded the total volume of all the books on the entire shelf! This information was even closer to the current state of the cultivation world. Zhang Qiang examined several crystal balls in succession, gaining a general understanding of the Celestial Serpent Planet's situation. The planet is roughly divided into five regions. The eastern region is primarily populated by human cultivators, the western region is dominated by exotic beasts, the southern border is a boundless desert, and the central region, home to the Qingshan Sect, is a land of mountains, rivers, and jungles, where both cultivators and beastmen reside. The northern region, dominated by the ocean, is home to cultivators from various domains entrenched on islands. This is the most chaotic region, with dozens of forbidden zones for life, countless treacherous lakes, forests, and swamps... Of course, this is only part of the Celestial Serpent Planet; for example, there's no record of where the desert ends, nor where the ocean ends... But for now, this is enough for Zhang Qiang.
