With his cultivation level at the Essence Gathering realm, Zhao Yunxiao was not nearly delusional enough to believe that he would be able to beat a nightspirit rat in direct combat.


    Zhao Yunxiao might have come across nightspirit rats in the past, but he was no expert on these monsters by any measure.


    In order to find out more about them, as well as to confirm if a nightspirit rat was indeed the culprit responsible for the wreckage in Gu Qiansi’s garden, Zhao Yunxiao arrived at his first stop of the day after leaving Gu Qiansi’s garden plot.


    This was the one-stop venue for static information in the Black Tortoise Sect – the Sect Library.


    </a> The books and scrolls here were kept in an extremely organised manner, housed on rows of shelves that were conveniently arranged according to their respective categories.


    Fortunately, this problem did not apply to Zhao Yunxiao – a frequent at the Sect Library.


    After greeting a few of the duty disciples upon entering, Zhao Yunxiao moved through the familiar aisles of the huge library and headed straight for the section on monsters and beasts.


    It did not take long before he managed to pick out multiple books and scrolls that contained bits and pieces of information that he was looking for.


    “Claw marks look like this...”


    “Bite marks look like this...”


    “Their habits include...”


    Zhao Yunxiao muttered under his breath while reading through these resources related to nightspirit rats.


    Physical traits, habits, diet, and so on...


    There was an almost endless amount of information to go through in order to fully understand a monster’s weaknesses and strengths. Even someone who had studied a monster for years would not dare claim to know everything there was to learn about it.


    The sun was already about to set – he did not have much time left.


    Realising that, Zhao Yunxiao picked up the pace as he headed towards his second destination – the Beastiary.


    Spirit beasts and monsters did not always have to be the enemies of cultivators.
