Lanni endured the pain in his chest and waved his hand.
He could only blame himself for being too rash and bringing the coffin in.
Indeed, this was disrespectful in Great Yan.
A subordinate opened the lid and brought out a thick book from the coffin. He presented it respectfully to Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou glanced at it.
"A Nine-leaf cultivation method?"
He did not believe in these so-called secret manuals.
There were books like this on the streets of Great Yan as well. They were all scams.
Lanni hastily said, "1,900 years ago, my ancestor found this coffin by the northern border's sea … According to my ancestor's notes, there was once a powerful cultivator in the coffin. He was a Nine-leaf cultivator."
Mingshi Yin was speechless. He said, "Keep lying."
Lanni said in a clear voice, "I swear in the name of the Bonar Family that if I'm lying, my family will be enslaved and cursed for generations to come."
"You're ruthless. Go on …" Mingshi Yin gave Lanni a thumbs-up.
Lanni lowered his voice and slowly said, "That cultivator stayed in Rouli for a month.
"After that, the cultivator stayed in Rouli for a month. He brought some books with him and left Rouli. I heard that he went to Great Yan. After that, there was no more news about him.
There were too many loopholes in Lanni's story.
If there really was a Nine-leaf cultivator, how could he not have made a name for himself 1,900 years ago?
There were no records of him in the history books. There were no rumors about him in the cultivation world as well.
Lu Zhou was not in a hurry to refute Lanni's words. Instead, he flipped open the secret manual.
The cultivation method in the front pages was similar to Great Yan's. In terms of cultivation theory, it was similar to the Confucian, Buddhist, and Daoist sects.
He flipped to the Nine-leaf stage.
He discovered that the ninth page had been blacked out with ink. There was only a sentence scribbled on it. "The people here are weak … but they're safe. I hope it'll always be like this."
Moreover, it was written in Great Yan!
Lu Zhou frowned. He continued flipping. The pages were all blacked out. There was a sentence at the edge. "I hope it'll always be like this."
"I hope it'll always be like this."
"I hope there are no Nine-leaf cultivators in the world. I hope there are no Ten-leaf cultivators in the world."
"I like gold … I don't like red."
There was no cultivation method. There were only scribbled words. It seemed like a prayer or a diary.
Lu Zhou looked at Lanni who was in the great hall.
Lanny bowed.
"There are special patterns on the covers of ancient books that prevent corrosion and decay. The patterns are carved into the cracks. They can prove the age of the ancient book."
Lu Zhou closed the book.
He looked at the dense lines on the cover. Unfortunately, the color had faded, and only four or five lines were still glowing red.
At that moment, he remembered the words on the last few pages: I like gold, not red …
This was Lu Zhou's first time seeing red Formation veins.
He raised his palm and slapped the cover!
Boom!
The formation pattern emitted a mystical power.
The red patterns flew into the sky and scattered in all directions like butterflies.
Due to the passage of time, these runes had become insignificant. The power they had stored was nearly exhausted.
Lu Zhou struck with his palm again.
Yuan Qi entered the patterns on the cover.
Suddenly, the golden light shone brightly.
The formation pattern looked brand new. The red lines disappeared and were replaced by gold.
Lanny nodded. "There are a hundred veins in total. Each one can protect you for twenty years. Every twenty years, one of the veins will fade."
…
Lu Zhou raised his palm.
His expression remained the same, but inwardly, he was shocked.
Indeed, this was a book that had been around for nearly 2,000 years!
"Do you know where the person in the coffin is?" Lu Zhou asked.
Lanny shook his head and said, "My family has been guarding this for generations. At the same time, we're searching for that senior. Until now, we haven't heard from him."
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and pondered.
There had never been anyone in the world who liked to explore secrets, let alone the secrets of the Nine-leaf and Ten-leaf stage.
At this moment, Lanny said, "This is the Bonar Family's sincerity … I'm willing to give them to the Evil Sky Pavilion."
It made sense to give away books.
However, it felt strange to give away a coffin.
If they were not old, Duanmu Sheng would have tossed them out.
At this moment, Lu Zhou said, "I'll accept this …"
His gaze darkened as he looked at Lanny and asked, "What do you want?"
No one would get up early without benefits. Who would give something without asking for anything in return?
Lanny placed his right hand on his shoulder and said in a gentlemanly manner, "I dare not ask for anything in return. I only have one wish."
"What is it?"
"We only want to witness the glory of a Nine-leaf cultivator!"
"That's it?"
Lanny nodded. His eyes shone with anticipation.
Lu Zhou walked down the steps with his hands on his back.
He enunciated each word clearly, "Rouli has always been ambitious. They've violated our borders many times. They're pretending to seek peace, but their true intentions are to spy on us."
Lanny's expression changed drastically. He hastily said, "T-this … You've misunderstood."
'A Disguise Card costs 10,000 merit points. Why would I give it to an Other Tribesman?
What a joke! '
Lu Zhou stepped forward.
Lanny took a step back.
At this moment, a piercing sound rang from outside.
Chirp!
Mingshi Yin said, "Livestock!"
Mingshi Yin hastily ran out.
In the skies, the huge flying beast flapped its 50-foot wings and screeched outside the barrier.
Lanny hastily said, "The livestock is out of control. I'll subdue it now."
The other four rose to their feet and ran out as well.
Lu Zhou waved his hand. "Duanmu Sheng."
"Yes, master."
"Take him down."
"Yes, master!"
Although he did not know where these Other Tribesmen got their confidence from, since they dared to play tricks in the Evil Sky Pavilion, they could not be allowed to leave.
Duanmu Sheng received his order. He raised his Overlord Spear and gave chase.
Swoosh!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
"Surrender!"
Duanmu Sheng did not care about the consequences. More than 100 spear shadows shot out with sharp spear seals. Bam!
Bam! Bam!
Lanny turned around and struck with his palms.
His energy blocked the spear shadows. Then, he flipped in the air and landed on the ground.
"We're sincere. Why must you be so overbearing, Pavilion Master?" Lanny's eyes burned.
Lu Zhou walked past the coffin slowly.
At the same time, he wondered where Lanny Bonar's confidence came from.
He looked at the coffin at the side … and saw that the coffin was densely covered with dark red lines.
Defensive Formation veins?
They were much more complicated and powerful than the Formation veins on the books.
Lu Zhou walked out of the hall and looked up.
The huge flying beast was attacking the barrier.
Bam!
A ripple spread out.
Mingshi Yin said speechlessly, "Stop pretending. Even your bird can't keep up the act."
Lanny frowned deeply. He glanced at Tiangou and asked in confusion, "How did this happen?"
Bam!
Tiangou charged at Golden Court Mountain's barrier again.
Duanmu Sheng could not take it anymore. He pressed his Overlord Spear down.
A chaotic battle broke out in front of the great hall.
Duanmu Sheng was fighting five enemies on his own!
Mingshi Yin was not in a hurry to intervene. Instead, he observed Tiangou.
Its wings kept flapping. Gusts of energy wind struck the barrier.
At this moment, several energy arrows shot toward Tiangou's huge body from above the southern pavilion. Bam!
Bam!
This was Hua Yuexing's attack.
Only a single feather fell. The rest were deflected by the flapping of its wings.
Chirp!
The huge bird became even more irritable.
"What's this?" Mingshi Yin's eyes widened.
Hua Yuexing was a Three-leaf Godly Archer, and yet, she could not do anything to this flying beast?
Lanny turned to look at Lu Zhou as he fought. He pleaded, "Pavilion Master, it's really a misunderstanding!"
Lu Zhou stroked his beard as he observed the huge flying beast in the skies.
Just when he was about to use Unnamed to take down the beast, the melodious sound of a flute rang in the air.
The tune was gentle and calm.
It was pleasant to the ears.
It sounded like flowing water in the forest.
When the tune reached the skies above the Evil Sky Pavilion, the huge flying beast seemed to have come to its senses and gradually calmed down.
Lanny's eyes widened. "How's this possible?"
The tune continued to play.
