Chapter 345 This new junior brother is too funny, making his senior sister giggle.
Although Senior Brother Gu's desk looks terrifying, he speaks with great wisdom about survival.
They can be temporarily classified as objects for which we will not actively take detours.
Gu Yanqiu got up and led him deeper into the jade cabinet.
"The three-layer version is different from the two-layer version. The two-layer version has more paper, so if it is damaged, it needs to be repaired, and if it is severely worn, it needs to be rewritten."
Mo Chengyue said, "This disciple is very familiar with it."
Xu Qingluo chimed in from behind.
"I heard you've copied quite a few notes on battle formations?"
Mo Chengyue said, "It's all thanks to Elder Chen's cultivation."
Xu Qingluo said, "It doesn't sound like cultivation, it sounds like punishment."
Mo Chengyue said, "In the Sutra Repository, the two often look very similar."
Gu Yanqiu did not stop walking.
"The third layer mostly consists of jade slips. The cultivation techniques themselves are read with divine sense, and they are not copied by hand after they are damaged."
Mo Chengyue's eyes remained serious, but his mood brightened somewhat.
No need to copy by hand.
This is good news.
very good.
Gu Yanqiu continued, "If it's just the outer layer of spirit patterns that's worn down, the disciple on duty can simply use true essence to replenish it along the original patterns."
Mo Chengyue asked, "Is it enough to just patch the patterns, without having to re-transcribe the entire text?"
Gu Yanqiu said, "Generally, that's not necessary."
Mo Chengyue asked, "What if there's a mark inside that indicates a break?"
Gu Yanqiu glanced at him.
"Then the person in charge will inspect it and decide whether to seal it, make up the missing information, or send it to Elder Chen on the ninth floor for disposal."
Mo Chengyue immediately replied, "This disciple will not touch it."
Gu Yanqiu said, "You answered quickly."
Mo Chengyue said, "I learned a principle on the second floor: the more expensive something is, the less you should touch it, because if you do, it will easily become a debt for you."
Xu Qingluo said from behind, "Senior Brother Gu, this person is suitable for the third level; he'll be able to save his life."
Gu Yanqiu said, "You need to know how to save your life and how to get things done."
Mo Chengyue said, "This disciple is willing to do it."
Gu Yanqiu stopped in front of a long cabinet and raised his hand to activate the restriction.
The cabinet door opened silently, revealing dozens of jade slips arranged inside. Each slip had a small wooden tag at the bottom, with the name of the cultivation method, the borrowing threshold, and the storage seal written on it.
Gu Yanqiu took out one of them.
"The outer spiritual patterns on this Azure Profound Gathering Record are damaged. Try to repair a section."
Mo Chengyue accepted it with both hands.
The jade slip was placed in my palm; it was slightly cool to the touch. There was indeed a dark section on the outer spiritual path, like a stream stopped at a shallow beach.
He didn't rush to take action.
First, observe the initial pattern, then the direction of its convergence, and finally use your divine sense to approach the edge to confirm that there are no hidden, harmful backlash restrictions inside.
Gu Yanqiu looked at him.
"Why aren't you replenishing it?"
Mo Chengyue said, "This disciple would like to confirm first that what is damaged is the pattern, not the temperament."
Xu Qingluo burst out laughing.
"Does the jade slip have a temper?"
Mo Chengyue said, "Even rare books can have their own temperaments, and jade slips are no exception."
Gu Yanqiu said, "Continue."
Mo Chengyue then drew out his true essence and slowly pushed it in through the gap in the spiritual pattern.
He suppressed the true essence of the mid-stage Golden Core cultivator to a gentle level. When it entered the outer pattern of the jade slip, it did not cause a strong light. Instead, it was like water being added to an old channel, spreading out inch by inch along the original veins.
After the broken section was repaired, the grayness on the surface of the jade slip dissipated, the spiritual patterns were reconnected, and the small seal on the wooden slip also lit up briefly.
Xu Qingluo tilted her head.
"His true essence is very thick."
Mo Chengyue paused, then placed the jade slip back on the table.
"Perhaps he has just entered the Golden Core stage and his Qi is not yet well contained."
Xu Qingluo said, "I didn't say you couldn't control it."
Mo Chengyue said, "This disciple will examine himself first."
Gu Yanqiu picked up the jade slip to examine it, and after a moment said, "It's acceptable."
Mo Chengyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Yanqiu said, "When repairing the patterns, don't use too much true energy. You left some room for maneuver just now, which is good."
Mo Chengyue said, "This disciple is afraid of overeating."
Gu Yanqiu said, "It's probably a good thing."
Xu Qingluo said, "Senior Brother Gu used the word 'fear' twice today, so it seems you suit his taste."
Mo Chengyue said, "This disciple is flattered."
Gu Yanqiu said, "Don't be alarmed. The fact that there are fewer tasks on the third floor doesn't mean it will be easy."
Mo Chengyue nodded.
"Disciple understands."
Gu Yanqiu pointed to several rows of jade cabinets on the east side.
"You will be temporarily in charge of the two rows on the east side: the jade slips containing early-stage Golden Core techniques, the jade slips containing notes from rogue cultivators, and the return and verification of these items."
Mo Chengyue asked, "What does the inspection include?"
Gu Yanqiu said, "Check if the outer pattern of the jade slip is damaged, check if the borrowing mark has expired, and check if there are any unauthorized rubbings inside."
Mo Chengyue asked, "What if unauthorized engraving is discovered?"
Gu Yanqiu said, "Detain the warrant, register the name, and report to me for further action."
Mo Chengyue said, "Shouldn't this disciple argue on the spot?"
Gu Yanqiu said, "If you can avoid competing, then don't."
Mo Chengyue said, "This disciple likes this one."
Xu Qingluo crossed her arms and leaned against the side.
"What you like isn't the rules, but the rules that shield you from trouble."
Mo Chengyue said, "One of the purposes of rules is to prevent people from getting beaten up."
Gu Yanqiu glanced at him.
"These words can be included in the three-tiered guard duty instructions."
Mo Chengyue said, "If Senior Brother Gu wants to write it, please sign it with your disciple's name."
Xu Qingluo laughed and said, "Why are you even more afraid of becoming famous than the rumors suggest?"
Mo Chengyue sighed.
"Senior sister, reputation is like a flower from afar, but a debt up close, and it gets hot when you hold it in your hand."
Xu Qingluo said, "Then you're already burned."
Mo Chengyue said sincerely, "So this disciple wants to withdraw his hand."
Gu Yanqiu said, "It can't be shrunk back."
Mo Chengyue looked at him.
Gu Yanqiu handed him a three-tiered duty roster.
"From this day forward, you will be known on the third floor."
Mo Chengyue looked at the roster and felt a sense of peace.
It was as peaceful as if someone had found a good feng shui spot for themselves in advance.
He opened the roster, and the first few pages listed the responsibilities of each person in three layers.
Gu Yanqiu was in charge of overall management, Xu Qingluo was in charge of the magic area, and several other senior brothers and sisters were in charge of cultivation techniques, miscellaneous studies, borrowing, prohibition patrols, and the key seals of the storeroom.
With him included, there are exactly nine people on duty across the three levels.
After reading it, Mo Chengyue asked a question.
"Senior Brother Gu, is this the same number of people usually on the third floor?"
Xu Qingluo's joking expression faded a bit.
Gu Yanqiu lowered his eyes and closed the register.
"no."
Mo Chengyue did not ask any further questions.
Some silence has already laid the answer on the table.
Gu Yanqiu spoke up.
"The person who was previously in charge of the two rows on the east side was named Zhao Yansheng."
Mo Chengyue said, "This disciple has remembered it."
Gu Yanqiu said, "He entered the ruins of the ancient war between immortals and demons."
Xu Qingluo said softly, "He hasn't come back."
Mo Chengyue put the roster back on the table.
The three jade slips were warm and smooth, their spiritual light stable, but after those words were spoken, the surroundings seemed to lose some of their liveliness.
He recalled the mangled bodies and cries on the flying boat of Burial Immortal Plain, and the complex looks from onlookers when the group from Clear Spring Peak landed on the deck.
Many positions are vacant, not because anyone has been promoted.
It's just because some people can't come back.
Mo Chengyue felt a little bit of joy at not having to copy books, so he took a half step back.
Gu Yanqiu said, "There have never been many people on the third floor, and there are even fewer after the ruins."
Mo Chengyue said, "Therefore, this disciple is here to fill the vacancy."
Gu Yanqiu replied, "Yes."
Xu Qingluo looked at him.
"If you feel it's unlucky, you can still return it now."
Mo Chengyue remained silent for a moment.
"Senior sister, you've said that too late."
Xu Qingluo asked, "What is it?"
Mo Chengyue said, "Elder Chen has already threatened me that if I am sent back to the second floor, I will proofread the damaged copy from the beginning."
Xu Qingluo was stunned for a moment, then laughed so hard her shoulders shook.
"You really are something else."
Gu Yanqiu also glanced at him.
"Are you more afraid of being punished by copying lines than of filling in gaps in your knowledge?"
Mo Chengyue said, "I'm afraid, but it depends on the occasion."
Gu Yanqiu asked, "So what occasion is it now?"
Mo Chengyue thought for a moment.
"When it's time to do the work."
Gu Yanqiu nodded.
"it is good."
Xu Qingluo said, "Not bad, they're more pleasing to the eye than those disciples who immediately clamor to see advanced cultivation techniques."
Mo Chengyue said, "I am new here and only want to familiarize myself with the way."
Xu Qingluo asked, "What happens after we find our way?"
Mo Chengyue said, "I'll acknowledge the cabinet."
Xu Qingluo asked, "What happens after we acknowledge the counter?"
Mo Chengyue said, "Find out where the tea is."
Gu Yanqiu said, "During the three-layer duty period, teacups are not allowed to be placed next to the jade slip."
Mo Chengyue immediately replied, "This disciple has never acted this way even on the second floor."
Xu Qingluo squinted at him.
"Don't you feel any remorse when you say that?"
Mo Chengyue said, "Senior sister, cultivators value a resilient mind."
Gu Yanqiu said, "The tea on the third floor is in the west corner cubicle. Drink it and leave immediately. Do not bring it into the jade cabinet area."
Mo Chengyue took notes carefully.
"This is very important."
