The bewildered Lin Yifan still tried to speak politely, "Elder! I'm here to read books."

As soon as he finished speaking, the elder with white hair and a childlike face opened his eyes and sternly demanded, "Hand over the token."

Lin Yifan was startled; the elder's tone was too serious, truly intimidating.

With a nervous heart, he took out the permission token and respectfully handed it to the elder guarding the place for inspection.

The Scripture Pavilion's guardian elder took the token, examined it carefully, and after confirming its validity, opened the door to let Lin Yifan inside.

With a "creak," the mountain cave door opened.

Lin Yifan smelled the scent of books, feeling a bit suffocated.

Standing at the entrance, he couldn't see clearly inside the cave because it was winding, not straight.

The door was already open, so Lin Yifan didn't delay and entered immediately.

The white-haired, young-faced elder guarding the place did not stop him.

Receiving this outcome, Lin Yifan finally felt at ease.

So, as he entered, he curiously observed his surroundings.

When he stepped into the book cave, the door suddenly closed by itself, startling him once more.

He looked back to confirm the elder wasn't causing him trouble, then felt relieved and continued forward.

The cave was brightly lit, with no electricity or kerosene, yet the lights remained unextinguished, mainly relying on the underground spiritual energy.

The prohibition array absorbed energy, continuously providing fuel for the lights, allowing them to burn steadily.

Following the path step by step, Lin Yifan quickly reached the area where books were stored.

There was a large door here, with a slot requiring the insertion of a permission token to enter.

This obstacle was set to prevent the guardian elder from favoritism or dereliction of duty.

Additionally, it was to prevent offenders from using a high-quality fake token to escape the guardian elder's scrutiny.

This door only recognized tokens refined by the Medicine Saint; it didn't acknowledge any other tokens, so only the unique key could open this door.

Lin Yifan understood why they were so cautious; after all, the books inside were quite valuable and probably rare treasures, the only ones of their kind in the world.

No time to lose, he immediately took out the permission token and inserted it into the slot.

As soon as the token was inserted, the door began to glow and then automatically opened.

"Creak!"

In an instant, a dazzling light refracted from inside the cave, making Lin Yifan feel like he was facing another world; it was incredible.

The golden light gradually dissipated, and Lin Yifan began to open his eyes, looking at the situation inside the Scripture Pavilion.

When the light completely vanished, he saw a golden library.

Golden splendor was everywhere, blindingly bright.

If it weren't for the bookshelves and stacked books inside, he would have thought he had entered a treasury or royal palace.

"How luxurious!"

Lin Yifan couldn't help but exclaim.

The decoration here was no less than that of ancient emperors' homes, and the materials used were top-notch.

As he walked in to observe, he realized that the "gold" on the cave walls wasn't actual gold but a more precious ore than gold.

Lin Yifan was astounded, realizing that the Medicine Saint must have spent a lot of treasures to build this golden library.

Undoubtedly, this library was protected against moisture, water, and theft; nothing could harm the books here, making it almost impossible for them to deteriorate since there were virtually no bacteria.

Glancing around, Lin Yifan noticed that the cave was lined with bookshelves on both sides, packed with dense books.

Most of these books were yellowed, with a few newer ones, possibly adaptations.

As he walked along, he saw many martial arts secret manuals, alchemy secret manuals, and ancient texts.

Part of the books, he was familiar with the content because these martial arts and alchemical techniques were passed to him by the Medicine Saint.

Another part was unknown to Lin Yifan; these were ancient materials.

Lin Yifan would definitely choose to read the books with unknown content, especially those with ancient texts.

These books likely recorded the whereabouts of a certain Immortal Ring; examining them closely might reveal some clues, otherwise, the Medicine Saint wouldn't have placed these books in such a high-class library.

Frankly, Lin Yifan didn't know much about the ancient texts; what he could understand was pieced together through the teachings from the Qingxu Immortal and the Beixuan Immortal, and the ancient books he obtained from Qingxu Immortal's Cave Mansion and Beixuan Immortal's Underground Imperial Palace, deciphering them word by word.

Simply put, he used his memorized martial arts content to place them thoroughly back into the original martial arts secret manual, understanding the meaning of those ancient texts in the original manuals.

The time in the Scripture Pavilion was limited, so Lin Yifan immediately got into the zone, flipping through these old materials.

Flipping page by page, he could generally understand some content, but fully understanding it was a little difficult.

As he alternated between books, Lin Yifan discovered that many of these ancient books recorded historical matters, with none documenting the whereabouts of the seven Immortal Rings.

As he continued reading, he gradually found records about the Beixuan Immortal and the Beixuan Palace, including some about the Qingxu Immortal.

However, the records of the Qingxu Immortal were somewhat vague, with almost no concrete documentation.

Now, he finally understood why the major sects of the Central Plains Cultivation World knew the location of Beixuan Palace and that it housed an Immortal Ring; it turned out it was recorded.

During the Ancient Era, the Beixuan Immortal was extremely famous, attracting a lot of attention.

Moreover, another reason for his renowned fame was that Beixuan Palace once really ruled over a dynasty; and this dynasty's size was even larger than present-day Shenzhou Country, truly unbelievable.

Ancient books only recorded the prosperity of Beixuan Palace; as for why it declined, there were very few records.

That is to say, the major sects were not very aware of the invasion of void creatures back then.

Of course, this was just Lin Yifan's speculation; perhaps other sects have ancient books documenting the events of this apocalyptic battle.

Lin Yifan recalled what Xuji True Master told him when he took An Qi away.

Xuji True Master said at the time that many big figures were watching him, advising him to be cautious.

He understood Xuji True Master's implication immediately, but so far, he hadn't received any "attention" from any big figure.

So he thought these big figures might only know some information about the Qingxu Immortal, not that the Qingxu Immortal had a blue Immortal Ring; or they might not know what void creatures look like, making it hard to determine if the strange creature seen in the newspaper was a void creature.

Even so, someone was observing him, which meant someone had suspicions.
