TALES OF DEMON AND GODS : FAN FICTION

As Nie Li came back from helping Xiao Ninger, to the library that afternoon, lots of people were going in and out of the library.

Du Ze and Lu Piao were reading some books after being inspired by the immense knowledge that Nie Li possess.

Nie Li recommended some easy books to them and, told them that before wishing to cultivate to a high level, one first would need to become a knowledgeable master.

For them it's not actually a feasible idea to read all the books in the library. Even if one were to not consider the problem of understanding different languages, it's still a tall order.

As cultivators reachs a higher level with their cultivation techniques, their brain undergo a certain level of development. They would not forget general knowledge and their learning ability also became very fast.

As they are now, it's not an applicable practice to invest a lot of time in reading since not everyone has the advantages of A. I. Chip.

If Nie Li wants, he can conduct a lesson to ease things for them but he would rather spend his time in his endeavor as opposed to mouth feeding them.

The real reason why Nie Li even helped, especially Du Ze is because of his future potential. Nie Li understood that Du Ze is a kind of leader for commoner students.

He is hard working, intelligent, capable and trustable. Nie Li observed this and decided to give him a small helping hand.

When someone is down, hungry and at their lowest, even a piece of bread is like a Holy Grail to them and they would never forget this favor.

Nie Li shared the fruit of his labour with him as well as helping him a little to walk this path. One day, even if he ask him to fight a unwinnable battle, he may actually do it, even if he doesn't. At the very least, Du Ze's future potential is immense to invest a little in him especially when it costs him only some knowledge and a small amount of DSC, which was barely enough to buy proper elixir.

Du Ze could become a helpful figure for him later on. Lu Piao is also a trustable fella even with his laziness, he would do anything for brotherhood.

A distance away from Nie Li and the others, a group of students gathered together, extremely lively.

"This piece of armour in my hand is called Flaming dark armour. It's bronze ranked and unless one had hundred thousand demon spirit coins, they wouldn't be able to get it!" One student proudly showing off his red armour. With his tall build wearing that armour, he had some martial aura around him.

Listening to the rowdy voice, Nie Li gave the tall, handsome and apparently rich kid a glance and then moved on to his room.

"Hey Nie Li, where have you been?" Lu Piao asked.

"Just a small businesses I had to take care of. What is all this about? Who is that?" Nie Li asked as he kept climbing on the flight of stairs. Du Ze followed him but Lu Piao wanted to watch the drama unfold so he stayed.

"Ah, him! He is Chen Linjian, belonging to one of the major families. He is one of the Divine Family's direct descendent, 15 years old and already at the 5-star bronze rank, soon reaching 1-star silver rank." Du Ze answered.

"Among the major family, Divine Family is the wealthiest. Chen Linjian is quite prestigious among the students, with a bunch of brothers."

"Hmm...Why is he doing all this here? To me, he doesn't look like such a attention hawker. Does he want something?" Nie Li asked, He was not really much interested in this gossip. He was just keeping tabs on various events to be up to date about stuffs.

"I don't really know. I think it has something to do with the ruins." Du Ze made a guess as he remembered the latest news.

"Ruins?" Nie li asked with a raised eyebrow, Now he was definitely interested.

"Recently, there were a city ruins found. Most likely left behind during the Age of Darkness, quite a number of people went there to explore. Therefore, maybe Chen Linjian is now finding more people to explore together."

"Oh, Sounds interesting. Lets wait for Lu Piao. Knowing him, he would be rushing here to gossip."

As both of them talked, they reached their destination. Nie Li sat down on his usual seat, just near the window. He closed his eyes and started to meditate.

Du Ze followed suit, not so late after rushed sounds came from the staircase as Lu Piao entered the room.

...

"Hey guys do you know what happened?" Lu Piao exclaimed.

"We are about to know!" Nie Li still kept his eyes closed as he sneered.

Lu Piao made a confused face, as he tilted his head. Du Ze chuckled from the sidelines.

"Chem Linjian just casually gifted a Flaming dark armour to one of his men, Flaming dark armor! it is invincible under silver rank. It's worth 100 thousand demon spirit coins!"

"Good for the 'casually" awarded fella." Nie Li still focused on his meditation.

"He even gave six 5-year old Holy Dark Grass. Holy Dark Grass is solely the Divine Family's. It has the effect of strengthening one's soul force based on the age of the grass, the older it is, the stronger it becomes. A single 5-year Holy Dark Grass is worth 50 thousand demon spirit coins, as for 10-year and 20-year Holy Dark Grasses, they are several or even dozen times more expensive."

"If we had Holy Dark Grass, it would definitely help in our breakthrough into 1-star bronze rank!" Lu Piao murmured.

If they had the money, they would be able to buy large amount of precious herbs and elixirs to assist in their training!

Nie Li opened his eyes and looked outside the window, Since the start it's the first time he was serious "How many people has he coaxed into joining his group?"

"20 people till now! I saw him count to twenty of them and say that they need some more." Lu Piao answered after thinking about it a bit.

'Hmm To invest so much. It seems he is quite sure of his success or does he have an insurance. Maybe a map?' Nie li thought as gears started to turn in his head.

He thought it was too dangerous to participate in such a exploration since he is not even a 1-star bronze rank Demon Spiritualist yet. Even if he wanted to participate, will Linjian let him? 'I need more information before deciding what to do. I don't think Du Ze or Lu Piao would know more details.

As Nie Li was contemplating, a slender figure entered their room. A subtle fragrance could be smelt from her. Nie Li felt the presence of this person and could even smell the body fragrance, which can cause one to be mesmerized. He smiled, "What can I do for you classmate Ye Ziyun?"

Nie Li looked up indifferently to look at the elegant and goddess like Ye Ziyun. Her graceful figure was currently holding a few thick books looking down at it. A head of purple hair was like a waterfall falling. Beside the ears, bundles of hair were tied up with silk thread adding more lovely temperament to her.

"You guys can go!" Nie Li looked towards Du Ze and Pu Liao saying.

Du Ze and Lu Piao were shocked to see her presence grace them, but they quickly remembered that this is Nie Li assigned room, and he works as a library clerk. She must have came to ask something, although they still felt it was amazing for her to actually come here, they understood that their presence could be a nuisance so they vacated the premises giving impressed and praise worthy looks to Nie Li.

"Please have a seat." Nie Li offered but he didn't move a bit from his position, looking unfazed by her presence. Ye Ziyun furrowed her brows but still listened as she put the books in her hand onto the table and sat down. Nie Li doesn't even need to look to know what this is about.

"So, student Ye Ziyun is also interested in these old Books?"
