"Aren't you going to get up to practice?" asked Zhou Qian who was still with an annoyed face.
"To this day it seems like Fan'er is not practicing motherhood, because Fan'er is going to the Zhou Clan's library, to borrow a book and maybe Fan'er will be home a little late," zhou Fan said to his mother in a pleading tone.
Zhou Qian who heard his son's words only nodded his head, supporting his son's decision.
But Zhou Qian advised his son to stop by the market, buy the spiral roots in stock, because the supply of spiral roots was up.
Spiral root is a herb that is classified as having a cheap price because spiral root is a low-level herbal plant and is very easy to find in the city of black stone.
Although classified as a low-level herb, spiral roots are highly sought after by a cultivator because these herbs can help increase the amount of inner strength in a cultivator even if not too much.
For a cultivator, inner strength was the most important aspect they had to improve other than cultivation, the greater the amount of inner power a cultivator possessed the stronger the cultivator was.
"Take this!" Zhou Qian gave a storage ring to Zhou Fan.
A storage ring is a ring that is given a space formation spell inside so that it can store something, but it cannot be used to store something that has life in it.
Zhou Fan, who received a storage ring from his mother, checked the contents of the storage ring and was surprised to learn that there were many gold coins in the storage ring, he looked up at his mother who was smiling at him.
The mother who noticed her son's gaze as if asking for an explanation from him also explained his intention and purpose of giving a storage ring to Zhou Fan.
"That's the storage ring that your father bought a while ago, your father did buy that storage ring to give you, actually your father will give it to you directly but your father has some business to do at the Patriarch Clan's residence" he explained.
"And who's in it?" zhou Fan asked who was still confused by the intention of his parents who gave him a storage ring containing a lot of gold coins.
"Oh, that's a gold coin from us for you," Zhou Qian said casually.
"So you don't lack coins to buy your needs, I'm sure you'll need them" he said.
Zhou Fan who knew the intentions of his parents immediately put the storage ring on one of his fingers, then he told his mother to go to the clan library.
Zhou Fan knew that there were at least hundreds of gold coins in his storage ring.
One gold coin is equal to 10 silver coins or 100 copper coins.
With the hundreds of gold coins he had, Zhou Fan was not worried about living his life again.

On a path that led to the library of the Zhou Clan, it was seen that there was a handsome young man walking leisurely towards the library of the clan.
The young man split the crowd that was passing through the street, the young man was none other than Zhou Fan.
Along the path he passed, there were whispering whispers of people talking about him, everyone who noticed Zhou Fan was always showing a look of disdain and contempt.
But the gaze and speech of that person did not Zhou Fan ignore, he did not want to think of something that he thought was not important.
It was not the first time Zhou Fan experienced it, since the age of ten he always get insults and scorn.
When a ten-year-old child was able to cultivate, Zhou Fan up to the age of seventeen years could not even have the energy in, it was what made Zhou Fan always get ridiculed, even all the people in Black Stone City pinned the term 'junk' to him.
The building looked so attractive to Zhou Fan, the library of the Zhou Clan that was the destination to exit the residence.
Zhou Fan who saw the large number of people passing through the library door decided to go inside.
The moment Zhou Fan entered he immediately went towards the lobby to record the sign-in and took the incoming token.
Every floor except the first floor requires a token to be able to enter it, on each floor there are several officers who guard, and on each floor, if a person cannot show the entry token the person will not be allowed to enter the intended floor.
Even the patriarch of the clan and also the clan elder had to show the entrance token to enter the intended floor, the chairman and elders did that in order to set a good example to their members.
If the rule-maker only violates the rules made, then do what others obey.
when Zhou Fan took the entry token, the elder in charge of the lobby greeted Zhou Fan for being familiar with the young man before him.
"Good morning, young master Fan are you here to borrow a book?" greet the elder to Zhou Fan while entering Zhou Fan's data on the token to be given to him.
Even though he knew that the young man before him was a young man that was considered trash by everyone, the elder still behaved properly in welcoming people who visited the library of the other Zhou Clan.
The elder was indeed famous for his kind, kind and honest nature.
Therefore, he was assigned to the admissions department, he had served for a very long time as the head of the Zhou clan library.
"Good morning also Elder Ze." Zhou Fan replied to the greeting from the elder whom he knew was Zhou Ze.
"Yes..wanted to look at the book, if there is a suitable one of course I will borrow it," Zhou Fan replied.
"Please enter Young Master Fan, you can only access until the 2nd floor," Elder Ze said as he handed the entrance token to Zhou Fan.
"Hopefully find what you're looking for" he said.
Zhou Fan passed away leaving Elder Ze who was again busy serving other visitors.

On the second floor of the library of the Zhou Clan, it was seen that Zhou Fan was sifting through bookshelves, he was looking for books related to alchemists. Indeed his purpose here is to find a book about alchemists he intends to study alchemy.
Who knows by studying alchemists he could become a cultivator, thought Zhou Fan.
But the moment he learned that to become an alchemist also needed some inner strength, he became uninspired.
Disappointed? of course he felt that.
But the feeling did not pass for long, Zhou Fan found a book on the cover that said '1000 herbs', Zhou Fan was very interested in the book, Zhou Fan was, without waiting for a long time the book was already in Zhou Fan's hands.
Zhou Fan opened the first page of the book he had in hand, and he concluded that it contained all sorts of herbs.
The book explained the characteristics and properties contained in the kinds of herbs, he knew it after reading the first few sheets in the book 1000 herbs.
