Art of Dragon Mastery (1)
Lin Yi was thankfully- he'd almost lost track of the time- if he'd missed it and the stone door had closed, he wouldn't have been able to practice any martial arts at all! Unless he became an immortal and didn't need to eat or drink, he'd starve to death sooner or later.
When the first rays of the sun from the east shone upon the valley, the stone door in front of Lin Yi creaked and closed without any warning.
After the stone door was closed, Lin Yi came to the stone door again, but this time, no matter what he did, the stone door didn't move at all. It didn't look like it was going to open.
It seemed that the eight sentences on the first stone tablet hadn't lied to him- if the stone door was closed, it wouldn't be able to be opened again. He'd have to wait five years before he could open it again.
While Lin Yi was a little disappointed, it was a good thing that he'd gotten his hands on the secret manual. He'd have to go back and study it before making a decision.
"Yi, are you alright?" A familiar voice sounded from behind Lin Yi. Lin Yi turned around to find that Old Lin had somehow appeared behind him.
"Fuck! Old man, are you trying to kick me to death? You sent me flying from such a high mountain- do you really think I'm Superman? "Lin Yi's bones were still aching from his fall last night.
"You're not dead, are you?" Old Lin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Yi was fine. While he'd been calm on the outside, he was actually quite nervous. After all, Lin Yi had fallen from such a high mountain- while his body had been soaked in his own herbal medicine, Old Lin wasn't too sure.
"I'm not dead, but I'm pretty much dead." Lin Yi hesitated on whether or not he should tell Old Lin about what he'd seen and heard, but decided to tell him everything in the end. Old Lin was more knowledgeable, after all.
"Old man, I entered this cave yesterday … …" Lin Yi said, pointing at the stone door not far behind him.
"Yes …" Old Man Lin had already seen the box in Lin Yi's hand and knew that he must have gone to the cave last night. However, now that he heard Lin Yi personally admit it, he was still very happy in his heart. At the very least, Lin Yi did not treat him as an outsider, and he did not raise Lin Yi in vain.
"Then …" Lin Yi didn't know what Old Lin meant, so he told Old Lin everything he saw and heard after entering the cave. Finally, he handed the box to Old Lin and said, "This is the box!"
"Keep it for yourself." Old Lin glanced at the box and said indifferently.
"Aren't you going to take a look?" Lin Yi was puzzled. Why didn't Old Man Lin care about such an amazing thing?
"It's useless." Old Lin shook his head.
Although Lin Yi had a lot of questions, Old Lin's "don't ask me" and "do whatever you want" attitude made Lin Yi want to say something, but he didn't.
Together with Old Lin, they returned home from the fork in the valley with great difficulty. Old Lin fell asleep on the bed, leaving Lin Yi holding the box and staring at it.
Since Old Lin was so indifferent, Lin Yi could only study the thing in the box by himself. Lin Yi put the box on the broken square table and began to study it.
The small box was antique, just like the wooden boxes used to store imperial edicts or elixirs in the past. However, it was not locked. After Lin Yi opened the buckle on the box, the lid could be easily opened!
Lin Yi's eyes widened, and his breathing began to quicken! Finally, the lid of the box was opened. Inside was a silk scroll.
He picked up the scroll and saw a jade pendant at the bottom of the box. Lin Yi quickly picked it up and put it under the light to look at it carefully.
The quality of the jade pendant was very good, but it was very strange. There was a totem-like pattern carved on it, and there were words that Lin Yi couldn't understand. It was definitely not seal script. This jade pendant was obviously not the same as the words on the scroll.
This made Lin Yi feel a little strange. Logically speaking, whether it was in the cave or on the scroll, the words should be the same, but this jade pendant was very special.
Later, Lin Yi also asked Old Lin about the jade pendant, but Old Lin didn't know what it was for. When Old Lin saw the jade pendant, he showed a very surprised expression.
This expression was even more surprised than when he saw Lin Yi take out a box from the cave!
Later, Lin Yi could only rely on his own deduction to guess that this jade pendant was used for training, so he always wore it on his body.
Lin Yi carefully opened the scroll, but he was slightly disappointed. The scroll was very thin, only a silk handkerchief.
However, Lin Yi had read those martial arts novels, and he understood that the powerful secret manuals did not depend on the number of words. Mei Chaofeng's Nine Yin White Bone Claw could be written on a piece of human skin. Therefore, Lin Yi still read the scroll with a very hopeful attitude.
The words "Art of Dragon Mastery" were immediately reflected in Lin Yi's eyes. The same words, the same as the words on the stone tablet in the main hall of the cave.
However, under the title of these words, there was a line of small words: First Stage — Heavenly Silkworm. Then came the main text: "Mortals are like ants, how can they change the Great Dao, and control the world …"
Lin Yi quickly scanned the main text. The first stage was divided into early, middle, and late stages. However, on this page, there was only the first stage of the Art of Dragon Mastery.
Of course, Lin Yi would not be stupid enough to think that the Art of Dragon Mastery was only the first stage. Since there was a first stage, there must be a second and third stage.
As for where the rest of the scrolls were, Lin Yi did not know. Perhaps it was in the stone door at the back of the main hall, or perhaps somewhere else. Everything had to wait until he completed the first stage of the Art of Dragon Mastery before he could make any other plans.
Although the introduction of the Art of Dragon Mastery was hard to understand, the process of practicing it was very detailed, and there was even a diagram of the human body's acupuncture points for reference. This was not a difficult thing for Lin Yi, who had been practicing martial arts since he was a child.
At this moment, Lin Yi did not think too much about it, and began to practice the first stage of the Art of Dragon Mastery, the Heavenly Silkworm scroll. It was precisely because Lin Yi was still young that he did not have any reservations, and thought that he could defeat Old Lin if he practiced a more advanced martial art. From the start, he did not even consider whether practicing this would conflict with his current martial arts, or whether it would cause him to go berserk.
