The shuttle is shaped like a spindle. It is white but has brown rings around its length.
When he got outside his house, he put his internal energy into the shuttle and threw it. The shuttle began to expand even before it left his hands. It expanded and turned into a surfboard.
The surfboard hovered slightly in the air. The sight impressed him greatly.
He shook his head in wonder and said, "There is no sound at all. Everything is smooth and quiet, like magic."
He laughed in excitement and pulled the surfboard over to him with his mind. Then he climbed onto it and controlled it to speed up.
He has refined the flying shuttle so he can control it with his mind as easily as controlling an arm. The only thing he has to worry about is air resistance.
Air resistance can push him over the surfboard if he goes too fast. Fortunately, there is an easy solution for that problem.
He can get the energy shield spell to envelop him and the surfboard. That way, air resistance won't be able to separate him from the surfboard.
The energy shield spell is something he can get from the technique library. So he should have it by the end of the day.
For now, he can only limit his speed and use the time to enjoy his ride. As he soared into the air, he shouted at the top of his lungs.
It felt so exhilarating to fly that he roared and whooped. Many people looked at him flying and chuckled to themselves when they saw which mountain he came from.
For the first time since he entered the sect, he wasn't in a hurry to get to his destination. He didn't feel like it was a bother that he couldn't get to where he wanted to go instantly.
Unfortunately, good things must come to an end. He eventually reached the library and had to stop flying around.
The library hall was made with the same material and had the same style as the other halls. It was made of brown stones cut into large cubes. These large stone cubes were used as bricks to construct it.
The library has many floors. The first floor is for mundane information about the world. It doesn't have any cultivation techniques. It is just mostly books about different mortal subjects and things like maps.
The second floor is where cultivation techniques begin. But the second floor only contains rank 1 cultivation. This is why both the second floor and the first floor are free to use by everyone.
Rank 2 cultivation spells are found on the third floor. There are some free spells here. These spells are mostly incomplete spells or weak versions of spells for disciples to try out before they make up their minds about getting the full version.
The last floor in the library is the fourth floor. The spells here are mostly incomplete or weak versions. But unlike the incomplete and weak versions on the third floor, these ones are not free. In fact, they are expensive.
If students want to get better spells and techniques, they have to enter the inner sect or get them from their supervisor on rare occasions. What he wants is on the third floor, so he went there immediately.
There was a landing strip beside every floor. So he didn't have to drop to the ground and take the stairs to the floor that he wanted to go.
He alighted on the landing strip by the third floor and put away his flying board. He shrunk it into its shuttle form and held it in his hands as he entered the library.
On his way to meet the attendant, he said to himself, "Maybe I should get a space pouch to hold my things. I should visit the weapon-forging hall after this."
The flying shuttle is not too heavy for him to carry with his hands. What he doesn't like is the fact that he has to carry it with his hand, so one of his hands is preoccupied and would delay him in responding to any threat.
He is still wearing his second skin rank 2 artifact and has his golden bow strapped to his shoulders, but his gauntlets are at home.
If a fight were to occur now, he would have to drop the flying shuttle to the ground in order to free his hands. If he does that, it is highly possible that he will lose the flying shuttle because someone took it while he was fighting, or the flying shuttle will become damaged during the fight.
So it would be good to have a space pouch. With a space pouch, he would be able to carry most of his properties with him regardless of their weight, such as his pills, energy stones, and gauntlet. With this kind of convenience, he would be able to respond to any situation easily.
As he was thinking about this, he met the attendant and asked her about the arrangements of the library. He doesn't know the specific arrangements of each floor because Elder Bloodhound didn't tell him.
Elder Bloodhound only briefly introduced each floor of the library to them during the tour before they had to leave. He still remembers cursing inwardly about most of the tour just being walking from one place to the other.
The attendant explained most of what he should pay attention to. Her voice was calm, and she allowed him to ask questions.
He wasn't entirely sure if she was this professional or if she was giving him special treatment because of his white uniform, which identified him as an S-grade disciple.
He didn't care either way, because he got what he wanted. So he went into the library to pick what he wanted.
On the surface, the library looked like what he expected it to look like. It looked like a normal library on Earth. It had rows upon rows of shelves.
