I saw that in the dark ground fire room, a plain middle-aged man slowly stood up.


    When he got up, he took out a copper mirror from his storage bag and looked at himself in the mirror.


    Before long, the big man nodded to his satisfaction in the mirror, as if he was sure.


    This plain looking middle-aged man is naturally Shen Ruiling after performing the "Vientiane world of mortals".


    The reason why he did so is naturally to better hide his identity when searching for ancient books.


    After all, danfang''s affairs are too important for him to be careless. It''s always good to be careful.


    After putting the bronze mirror back into the storage bag, Shen Ruiling opened the dusty stone door and walked outside.


    At the same time, the pressure of building the foundation from him began to converge gradually.


    When he walked out of the underground fire room, Shen Ruiling''s accomplishments revealed only the initial stage of foundation construction.


    In the early stage of foundation building, the cultivation will not look too dazzling when walking on the street, but you can get the flattery of the shopkeeper when entering the store.


    For Shen Ruiling now, it can not be more suitable.


    After returning to the surface along the long and narrow channel and slightly identifying the direction, Shen Ruiling walked towards a prosperous street.


    There are several bookstores selling ancient books on this street. Shen Ruiling paid attention to them when he passed by.


    The only thing these stores have in common is that they are all opened in remote corners, and the stores are not large. The stores are only scattered during Qi practice, and few foundation building friars appear.


    Soon, Shen Ruiling''s figure appeared at the door of the first store. After looking up at the plaque hanging on his head, Shen Ruiling went straight in.


    The store was dark and empty. There were piles of books beside the narrow passage, and jade slips for selection were placed on the bookshelves on both sides.


    Among the stacks of books, an old man in the Qi training period was busy, but when he looked up and saw Shen Ruiling, he immediately welcomed him.


    "Elder, but what do you need?"


    The old man came to Shen Ruiling and said respectfully.


    Shen Ruiling first looked at the old man, then looked around at the books around him, and finally said in a deep voice:


    "I need some old books. Do you have them in your shop?"


    After hearing Shen Ruiling''s demand, the old man was slightly stunned. After he reacted, he immediately accepted it.


    "Yes, I don''t know what ancient books your predecessors need?"


    "Show me everything first!" Shen Ruiling feigned anger.


    Seeing Shen Ruiling''s dissatisfaction, the old man naturally didn''t dare to say more. He immediately turned around and searched in front of bookshelves.


    Soon, the old man returned to Shen Ruiling with a large number of jade slips, and then carefully said:


    "Elder, how about looking at these first?"


    After taking these jade slips from the old man, Shen Ruiling directly put his divine knowledge into it and began to check them roughly.


    Special prohibitions were set in these jade slips. Shen Ruiling, as a customer, could only view a small part of the contents, and the rest were blocked.


    Of course, for Shen Ruiling, the prohibitions set by these friars during the Qi training period are equivalent to nothingness. He can easily destroy these prohibitions with one thought.


    But Shen Ruiling can''t do this. After all, it''s a theft. The shopkeeper has the right to hand him over to the law enforcement team.


    After a rough check, Shen Ruiling''s eyebrows wrinkled slightly, which didn''t seem very satisfied.


    Seeing this behind the scenes, the old man on one side naturally knew that these things didn''t agree with Shen Ruiling, so he was ready to turn around and get some jade slips.


    At this time, Shen Ruiling said again:


    "The completion time of these books is too late. What I need is the best ancient books four or five hundred years ago."


    "Ancient books four or five hundred years ago?"


    After hearing this, the old man was slightly surprised.


    Four or five hundred years is enough for him to live for several lifetimes, even the longevity of the foundation building friar is not so much.


    Seeing the old man''s expression, Shen Ruiling couldn''t help asking:


    "Why, don''t you have such ancient books here?"


    Facing Shen Ruiling''s inquiry, the old man could only say with a bitter smile:


    "Elder, you should also know that ancient books of this year can only be collected by family forces that have been handed down for hundreds of years, except from the cave left by some ancestors."


    Shen Ruiling had considered the old man''s words before.


    However, in his opinion, he is not looking for the secret skills and inheritance of four or five hundred years ago.


    He only needs to find a few ancient books such as miscellaneous notes of four or five hundred years. It shouldn''t be very difficult.


    "I don''t need books on Kung Fu and inheritance, just some ancient books such as travel notes and miscellaneous notes!"


    Shen Ruiling said reluctantly.


    After Shen Ruiling''s repeated inquiries, the old man said that he could not remember clearly:


    "This... There seems to be one, but the age can''t be verified!"


    "Show me!"


    "Elder, wait a minute!"


    The old man turned around and began to look through his piles of books.


    After a long time, the old man finally found a thick book from a corner.


    I can see that the outside of this book is wrapped in unknown animal skin, and the paper inside is also made of animal skin, but all of them have turned yellow and black. At a glance, they have experienced the brilliance of countless years!


    After a simple look, Shen Ruiling''s face slightly looked better, and seemed quite satisfied.


    After closing the ancient book, Shen Ruiling began to bargain with the old man.


    Although the old man saw that Shen Ruiling needed it very much, he didn''t dare to charge too high a price.


    Therefore, after a fierce bargain, Shen Ruiling finally spent 80 pieces of inferior spirit stones to put the miscellaneous notes in his pocket.


    After coming out of the shop, Shen Ruiling went straight into a remote alley.


    In a place where there is no one, he once again displayed the "Vientiane red dust" and gave himself a new look.


    Before long, a tall and thin man came out of the alley and walked towards the second bookstore in the street.


    In the second bookstore, Shen Ruiling also encountered a similar situation before coming, but fortunately, he received two ancient books, which was better than his previous harvest.


    In this way, every time he goes out of a shop, before entering the next shop, Shen Ruiling will display [Vientiane red dust] in an empty place.


    Although in the end, the appearance of the change is much the same, it is safer than going straight in like this.


    In this way, when several bookstores came down, Shen Ruiling found that there were not many ancient books of the last year in these stores, and most of them had nothing to do with miraculous drugs.


    However, in order not to attract attention, Shen Ruiling bought them together with the books he needed.


    After coming out of these bookstores, Shen Ruiling went to the stalls where he practiced Qi and scattered, and found several useful ancient books from the stalls.


    Finally, with more than a dozen ancient books, Shen Ruiling returned to the earth fire room and began to study the ancient danfang again.
