(Jun's POV)
While Jian is fighting the apes, I'm going over the Library to see if there are any body cultivation techniques. The girls finally have enough playing and are currently resting. Well, Ye Ziyun is resting, Xiao Ning'er is currently trying to break me out of my 'meditation'.
After looking around I can confirm that yes, there are body cultivations techniques though not much. Only a couple hundred thousand compared to millions of soul cultivations techniques. I settle on one call Dragon Physique as the base. It apparently gives your body the physical power comparable to dragons but like all other technique that sounds cool, it has a lot of flaws.
"Compile!" I call out as hundreds of thousands of books flow down from the Library. Unlike the other, this one only takes a couple of seconds to complete.
Reading through the book, I can feel my soul force turning a particular way. After my soul force made one full rotation, I can feel my strength double. This is just from reading the book, I wonder how strong my physical body will get after actually practicing it.
Punching out, "Flaws" I check my status.

[Flaws 1…] (A/N: Took out the soul realm as it doesn't seem to do anything important.)
"..."
My soul form changed… was it because of the Body cultivation technique? They did say the body influences the soul and vice versa. Well, it doesn't matter, now I know what to call my technique. "Dragon God Manual," I call out. Sure enough the title of the book change.
As I look through the manual, I note down the useful things about it.
[Dragon God Manual
1st Level gain the strength of a Dragon God of the same rank - Gold rank
2nd Level gain the ability to summon Dragon God's scale as a defense - Heavenly Fate Realm

5th Level (****) - Supreme Realm]
I can't see the 5th level just like with the soul cultivation technique. Not like it matter, it'll be a long time before I can even reach the 4th level.
Now that that's done, I'll need something to do since I master most of my other skills. For now, "Compile all doctor related books, compile all movement techniques, compile all information on demon beast."
That'll keep me busy for a while. It's always good to know how to heal someone. As for the movement technique and demon beast information. When fighting the apes I notice that while weapons and unarmed combat taught me how to move in combat, it didn't give me any movement technique to move faster or give me explosive speed. As for the demon beast information, it's just a good thing to have.
Now I just have to wait for...
"Come on big brother Jun, let's go play" ???
"Sigh" I open my eyes and move Xiao Ning'er hand away from my hair. "I'll appreciate it if stop pulling my hairs Ning'er."
"But I tried everything else and you won't wake up." Xiao Ning'er
"That's not the problem here. We played all morning to afternoon, aren't you tired? Even Ziyun is resting."
"Nope I'm not tire and what do you mean, look Ziyun is up." Xiao Ning'er move to show Ziyun hiding behind her. After Ziyun sees me looking at her, she sends a glare at me while holding on to Ning'er… Wait, can it be she doesn't like me because I been taking her time with one of her few friends away?
"Ning'er, why don't you and Ziyun play together for a while. I have something to do."
"But…" Ning'er
"No buts, I'll give you a present after this."
"Alright." Ning'er says happily at the thought of a present. "Let's go Ziyun."
When Ning'er was taking Ziyun away, I can make out a small smile that appears on her face. Yup, I guess I'm right.
Now then, back to business. What other things will be useful to learn? Let's see blacksmith, crafting, ancient languages and… I need to get a hobby. If I keep doing things at this pace, I'll run out of things to do beside wait until cannon start.
Maybe I can take up painting. It might be nice having something to do without using the Library.

(Long Jian POV)
Again, what's with rich people and big houses. Even when I know where the treasure is, it still took me a while to find it. After finding it… all I can say is the skeletons around are a disturbing sight.
Walking up to the fake Emperor Kong Ming coffin, I'm wondering if I should take the Temporal Demon page. I'll take the abstract gemstone though, I did promise Ning'er I'll give her a present.
Seeing the inscription on the coffin, I alter it a little so it can be open once without triggering anything. In the end, I end up taking both the gemstone and the page. I wonder how Nie Li will feel after going through so much trouble and not finding what he wants here.
Up next is the Shadow Devil lamp. It's quite easy to find it now that I already found the underground chamber. The treasure storage room is a sight to behold.
I have never seen so many golds and gems in one place before but after calculating how much its all worth, I can only say that I currently have more money because of alchemy. That is if I don't count the Shadow Devil lamp.
I take the Shadow Devil Lamp before getting out of the place and using my soul force to return everything to how it is before. The trip back wasn't as exciting as I couldn't find many demon beasts. The few I did find are only bronze rank.
