[Basic Proficiency! Explanation of a Thousand Basic Runes]

Author: Scripture Storage Valley, Dongfang Guangling.

The elder of the Weapon Refinement Hall gave Jiang Li a thick book that could crush people to death with its weight.

This basic rune compendium was said to be very practical. The basic runes recorded in it were quite complete. Moreover, at the end of each rune, it introduced the exact effects, characteristics, and so on in detail.

Precisely because there was too much comprehensive content in it that if the enormous amount of information was kept in a jade slip, it was simply not something that a Qi Refinement realm disciple could withstand.

Therefore, this compendium was recorded using the most primitive form of a physical book. It was almost necessary for all newbies to read.

Jiang Li carried it in his arms and weaved through the crowd as he studied.

Sometimes, he would ask questions that he did not understand. Sometimes, he would take the materials and run to the side to practice alone.

Due to his identity and polite attitude, the inner sect senior brothers and sisters of the Weapon Refinement Hall did not hesitate to give him a lot of guidance and help.

As he practiced, time slowly passed. There were already quite a few wooden planks with rune carvings piled up beside Jiang Li.

There were many different types of successful rune boards, but most of them were abandoned failed products.

After all, he was only a newbie and had not received systematic guidance. From time to time, he would still make some low-level mistakes and fail. This was inevitable.

"Junior Brother Jiang Li."

After an unknown period of time, a small shout sounded. Jiang Li was in a daze. The blade tip tilted, and the entire wooden board was destroyed by the blade.

Jiang Li sighed and did not blame himself for being disturbed. This was already the fourth rune board he had failed consecutively.

The main reason was that his condition had deteriorated. Even if he was not disturbed, he would fail very soon.

This work of carving runes consumed a terrifying amount of mental spirit.

Jiang Li clearly had the vigorous energy to work hard for more than a week, but under the high concentration of drawing the runes, he was actually unable to endure it anymore.

He had just been forcing himself to focus and did not feel anything. At this moment, he stopped what he was doing and a wave of sleepiness immediately overwhelmed him.

Rubbing his temples, he looked at the inner sect disciple who called him.

"Junior Brother Jiang Li, haste makes waste. It's already late, so you should quickly go back and rest."

Only then did Jiang Li realize that the sky had already completely darkened. The disciples of the other Weapon Refinement Hall had already started to pack their things and leave.

"Thank you for your reminder, Senior Brother. I'll go back first."

Jiang Li had always been a polite person. After thanking him, he stood up and walked towards his small courtyard.

After he left, an elder walked over and asked the disciple who spoke to Jiang Li earlier.

"How many runes did he learn today?"

The disciple flipped through the rune boards on the ground before answering, "There are a total of seven different runes."

"Seven? He's a rare talent. It's a pity that he doesn't have a Fire-attribute spiritual root and can't refine weapons by himself."

...

Jiang Li returned to his small courtyard to wash up before lying on the bed.

Then, just like in his previous life, he instantly sobered up.

He had always been sleepy no matter what he did. Only when he was preparing to sleep did he feel especially awake. At this moment, he had an urge to take out his phone and scroll through it.

This kind of feeling made him very vexed because he was in the cultivation world and there was no phone here.

He thought for a moment. The only thing that he could do which was similar to using a phone was to listen to the Great Carefree Bodhisattva Heart Sutra.

Sigh, in a situation where there was nothing to choose from, scriptures could also be used as novels to read.

Jiang Li did not get up. He lay on the bed and took out a jade slip from his pocket.

That was the jade slip that was recorded in the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra. When he entered the sect, the Valley Master had already given him the jade slip.

Jiang Li placed the jade slip on his forehead. At the same time, he immersed his mind into the scripture.

As he muttered the scriptures, a large amount of information surged into Jiang Li's mind!

[Slowly chanting the Great Carefree Bodhisattva Heart Sutra: Level of Completion (0.9/3000), Completion rises by 0.1 everyday. Duration: ] ()

The completion percentage (0.9/3000) quickly became (7.8/3000).

When he combined the two portions of the scripture, Jiang Li was surprised to discover that more than half of the content of the first chapter of the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra had been filled.

He tidied it up bit by bit and could actually already recite it once.

For some reason, the sect did not persist in recording the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra.

However, according to his judgment, when the completeness of the scripture reached (10/3000), he should be able to proceed with the first stage of this Heart Sutra cultivation.

This was the spirit refinement cultivation method of a certain powerful figure from the ancient times. This made Jiang Li rather excited just thinking about it.

Therefore, his sleep became a mix of chanting while sleeping.

When Jiang Li was a mortal, he mainly cultivated a martial artist cultivation method called the 'Age Tiger Technique'. One of the techniques was called 'Sleeping Tiger', and it could allow him to divert a portion of his attention to cultivate while sleeping.

At this moment, he could listen to the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra using a similar method.

The only problem was that under the chanting state, his hearing would become abnormally sensitive. Even the slightest movement might cause him to awaken.

However, this kind of problem was changed after Jiang Li moved into this courtyard.

It was very normal for a reliable defensive array formation to have a soundproof effect.

After activating the defensive array formation, the environment in his courtyard instantly became extremely quiet. The leaves, insects, and bird calls from the outer sect vanished completely.

This way, no matter how sensitive his hearing was, he did not have to worry about being disturbed.

Amidst his muttering, Jiang Li quickly fell asleep.

However, his mind was still active. In his extremely clear dream, he seemed to have turned into a ghost that had no physical body. He moved around the courtyard aimlessly, floating everywhere.

The next day, Jiang Li woke up almost as soon as the sky lit up.

"Isn't it good to have abundant stamina and energy? It looks like I won't have the chance to experience the joy of sleeping till noon in the future."

Jiang Li sat up in bed with a depressed expression.

Under the enhancement of certain statuses, his mental and physical recovery speed far exceeded that of ordinary people.

In just a few hours, he was woken up by his vigorous energy.

Jiang Li rubbed his eyes, and then he suddenly thought of something. He looked at the limestone ground by his feet with a strange expression.

This sounded unbelievable, but Jiang Li dreamed yesterday that there were many treasures buried in this courtyard, and one of them was even beneath this limestone tile?
