Zhou Yan looked at the thick book, and his entire head felt enormous.
"Damn, I only asked about materials, and you give me such a thick book. How long will it take me to find it?" Zhou Yan was speechless and began to examine it.
Opening the first page, it displayed the location of the Nine-Star Spirit Stones, complete with specific maps and coordinates, which was quite clear.
This made Zhou Yan feel that this building was indeed very good; if you wanted to understand something, it could readily provide you with a wealth of information.
Zhou Yan then looked around and discovered that the location of each Nine-Star Spirit Stone was at a certain coordinate on the Lord's Continent. As long as one excavated according to the coordinates, they could be found.
However, besides these coordinates, Zhou Yan then discovered that it also recorded the locations of Nine-Star Spirit Stones in other worlds, which stunned Zhou Yan.
"Wow, this [Heavenly Book Repository] is too awesome. Could it be that it has marked the coordinates of all Nine-Star Spirit Stones in every world?"
Zhou Yan also found that the places indicated by these coordinates were those that had not yet been excavated, while those that had been dug up were not recorded.
Currently, Zhou Yan could only operate on the Lord's Continent. As for other worlds, Zhou Yan believed there must be a way to go there, otherwise, why would this building display so many world coordinates, and why would his [Myriad Realms Virtual Mall] even exist.
Zhou Yan currently had no intention of going to other worlds. He hadn't even left the Canglan Continent, and there were still so many places on the entire Lord's Continent left unexplored. Why would he go to other worlds?
It was mainly unnecessary.
Zhou Yan thought that he couldn't let go of the daily inquiry opportunities. It was not easy to upgrade this building, so he had to ask for things of value.
Thus, Zhou Yan came to the Spirit Treasure Library again.
Upon entering, he found that it was similar to the Material Library; it was the same kind of building, and a book spirit spoke to Zhou Yan, "You're here. Ask whatever you want. I want to sleep after you're done."
This Spirit Treasure Book Spirit had a lazy voice, sounding as if it hadn't woken up.
"Do you book spirits also need to sleep?" Zhou Yan was very puzzled.
"When you ask questions, we need to expend a lot of energy to find the answers for you. If we don't sleep, how can we recover energy?" the Spirit Treasure Book Spirit replied.
"Then, having lived for so long, is this all you can do?" Zhou Yan was very confused about them.
"We are not like you. We are just book spirits; we cannot cultivate and will not die. Unless the [Heavenly Book Repository] is destroyed, we will always be like this and can never leave here." the Spirit Treasure Book Spirit replied.
In this sense, they were quite pitiful, only able to be book spirits here their entire lives. Although they would not disappear, they could only help find known answers.
"Then don't you want to go out and see?" Zhou Yan asked.
"Why would we want to go out and see? For us book spirits, we are constantly immersed in the heavens and earth. There is nothing in the heavens and earth that we do not know. We really like this kind of life." the Spirit Treasure Book Spirit replied.
Thinking about it, Zhou Yan was human, and they were not human at all, just book spirits. It was like asking a pig: "Don't you want to eat beef?"
Every kind of living being has its own preferred way of life and its own unique way of survival.
So, Zhou Yan inquired, "You are a Spirit Treasure Book Spirit, so you must know where there are unclaimed buildings, right? I only want buildings of S quality or above."
The Spirit Treasure Book Spirit directly replied, "Those questions are not my responsibility. Buildings are not spirit treasures."
"Then who should I ask this question?" Zhou Yan asked.
"You should ask our boss; she is the Myriad Affairs Book Spirit." the Spirit Treasure Book Spirit replied.
"Then can you tell me the whereabouts of a spirit treasure? Preferably the closest one to me, and it must be of Spirit Artifact quality or above." Zhou Yan inquired.
"Of course, you can. Wait." The Spirit Treasure Book Spirit quickly flipped open its book, and then all the books within the building also flipped open.
After a while, a piece of paper appeared before Zhou Yan.
"I'm going to sleep now." With that, the Spirit Treasure Book Spirit fell asleep.
Zhou Yan looked at the markings on it. It was his current coordinates, and the coordinate of the treasure was a full thousand kilometers away from him.
It did not say what kind of spirit treasure it was, only the location of the closest spirit treasure.
Zhou Yan felt he needed to dispatch a team to check it out, so Zhou Yan opened his communicator and said to Zhang Liang, "Zhang Liang, dispatch a team to this location to investigate. Perhaps there will be some gains."
"There are gains? What is the Lord looking for?" Zhang Liang asked curiously.
"There should be a treasure of Spirit Artifact quality or above there. I obtained this information through the newly constructed building, so it should not be wrong," Zhou Yan replied.
"Alright, then I'll immediately dispatch a team to take a look," Zhang Liang replied.
Afterward, Zhou Yan came to the Spirit Essence Library again and also inquired about the spirit treasures closest to the territory, requiring them to be of sixth grade or above.
Subsequently, the Spirit Essence Book Spirit also gave Zhou Yan a coordinate. If it weren't for the fact that he could only ask about one thing, Zhou Yan really wanted to ask about all the hidden spirit essences close to the territory.
Unfortunately, with one question per day, he could only inquire about one thing.
The Material Book Spirit was a bit different; when asked, it told him about all the unclaimed materials.
Zhou Yan finally arrived at the Myriad Affairs Book Library. Upon entering, Zhou Yan actually saw a small elf-like creature.
This little elf was only palm-sized and looked like a grumpy old man with white whiskers and human features, appearing very old and frail.
"You're finally here," the little old man said.
"Are you the Myriad Affairs Book Spirit?" Zhou Yan asked.
"That's right, I am the Myriad Affairs Book Spirit," the Myriad Affairs Book Spirit replied.
"Why can't other book spirits take human form, but you can?" Zhou Yan asked curiously.
"Because I'm the boss," the Myriad Affairs Book Spirit's answer was simple and direct, leaving Zhou Yan speechless.
Zhou Yan got straight to the point and asked, "Do you know where there are unclaimed buildings of S quality or above? Preferably ones that haven't been discovered yet."
"Are there any specific requirements? For example, are you looking for barracks, defense towers, or support buildings?" the Myriad Affairs Book Spirit asked.
"Not really, anything will do," Zhou Yan replied.
"Then I can only tell you one," the Myriad Affairs Book Spirit replied.
"Okay," Zhou Yan nodded.
Then, the Myriad Affairs Book Spirit waved its small hand, and a slip of paper fell before Zhou Yan, saying, "Alright, you can leave now."
Zhou Yan took the paper and looked at the little old man, asking, "Don't you need to rest?"
"Because I'm the boss, unlike them," the Myriad Affairs Book Spirit replied.
Alright, the boss is more formidable and powerful, so they don't need to rest.
