There was no mistake!
It was the Dragon God Ring!
That was the Dragon God Ring!
Before he escaped from Yongling, the ring was still hanging on his body.
He still remembered his father's repeated instructions almost every day, "The Dragon God Ring is with you, don't lose it."
Why not? What was the Dragon God Ring?
It was so long ago that he couldn't remember it.
However, what made Yan Li excited was not the ring itself, but the information it contained.
On that rainy night eleven years ago, when he was being chased, he unfortunately lost the ring before he fell into the moat. If the ring fell into the hands of that group of people, could it be considered that Yu Muren was a descendant of one of them? Could it be deduced that the capital governor, Yu Xingzhi, was one of the murderers?
At this time, Yan Li calmed down. He had found the clues, and it was only a matter of time before he found them.
In an instant, his eyes became extremely cold and hateful. Yu Muren's heart trembled, only feeling as if thousands of ice needles were piercing into his body. The boiling anger in his chest cooled down, and he involuntarily let go of the ring.
Yan Li took one last look at the bronze ring, walked down the stage, came to the instructor, and put the document on the table.
The instructor said expressionlessly, "This is your identity jade token. You can enter the library once and choose a method."
The library was the most sacred place in the Academy. It was built in the deepest part of the Academy, with its back against the back mountain of the Academy. It had three floors, and each floor contained a different method. The higher the floor, the more precious the method. Of course, even if it was only the method collected on the first floor, as long as any of it was leaked, it would cause a bloody storm in the cultivation world.
The only Academy in the world that could be called the "Holy Land of Cultivation" was not an undeserved reputation.
"Therefore, the library is heavily guarded. With my identity, I can only take you here."
After Yan Li left the Martial Arts Practice Field, he was led to the door of the library by a student of the Academy. Along the way, the student told Yan Li a lot of things about the Academy.
Just standing at the door, Yan Li vaguely felt a few terrifying auras hiding in the dark. As the core of the Academy and the foundation of the empire, it would not be an exaggeration to equip the Library with thousands of soldiers and horses, let alone a few masters.
"I heard that you offended Yu Muren …" The student leading the way looked around and then whispered, "He is used to being domineering because his father is the capital governor. He will seek revenge for the smallest grievance. He will definitely not let it go. There was a student who accidentally offended him and was arrested and put in prison by him. It is said that even his body was not found. If you want to keep yourself safe, I have a way …"
Yan Li pondered and said, "Oh? What way? "
"Go to this place to meet our leader …"
The student who led the way smiled mysteriously, slipped a note to Yan Li, and then left in a hurry.
Yan Li wanted to throw it away, but after thinking about it, he put it in his arms.
Walking into the first floor of the library, he was surprised. Although it was called a "building", it was actually just a small pavilion. There were a few bookshelves, on which were brand new handwritten copies of techniques.
Speaking up to this point, it has to be mentioned that when any technique is created, it requires a 'container' to carry it. Perhaps it's a treasure, perhaps it's a bamboo scroll, or even more carelessly, it's paper, cowhide, and so on.
And this container could store the experience of the master of the technique when he created it. If he could get it, he could get twice the result with half the effort.
Therefore, of course, the handwritten copies on these bookshelves could not be the original. There was only one original copy of every technique, without exception. The technique itself was extremely precious, let alone the original.
Of course, the person who cultivated it would also make an appendix of the experience, but compared with the original, it was still a lot worse.
Therefore, the original was also known as the only copy.
The only copy of a technique would not be easily revealed in front of people, and after the "catastrophe" more than four hundred years ago in the land of China, only a few copies were left.
"You are Yan Li?" At the door, a man dressed in white leaned on a chair, crossed his legs, and looked at Yan Li lazily.
He looked to be in his early thirties, with medium looks and medium height. He wore a cross-shaped crown, and looked like a commoner that could be found on the roadside. However, there were many calluses on his palms, caused by years of sword practice. Coincidentally, the way he held his sword was very similar to that of Yan Li.
Even more coincidentally, his sword was also hidden in his sleeve.
Just as Yan Li opened his mouth to reply, his whole body suddenly jumped up as if a machine had been pressed. His right hand shook slightly, and a cold blade emerged from the opening of his sleeve, stabbing towards Yan Li like a poisonous snake.
This sword was not tricky, but it was fast, extremely fast, incomparably fast.
Like a flash of lightning across the sky, it disappeared in a flash.
Yan Li raised his arm to block.
Clang!
Sparks flew everywhere, and his sleeve was torn to pieces, revealing the sword hidden inside.
At this time, Yan Li did not even have time to "unsheathe" his sword.
He took two steps back, relaxed his body, and looked at his opponent with a calm expression.
"Not bad." The man sat back down, and the sword was hidden somewhere.
With a trace of admiration on his face, he said, "When I attacked, there was killing intent, but no killing intent. You knew that I would not kill you, so you did not panic, and were as steady as a rock. Just this point alone makes you worthy of the title of swordsman."
Yan Li raised his eyebrows, and said coldly, "I don't know what killing intent is. I only ask you one question, do you dare to kill me?"
The man's expression froze, and he squinted slightly, "Everyone in the world knows that the more one knows how to hide the sword, the faster the sword. Since you know how to hide the sword, you should know that if I want to kill you, I only need to move my fingers."
Yan Li said, "I'm not asking if you can kill me, but do you dare to kill me?"
The man's face darkened slightly, and then returned to normal. He said, "When I was your age, my words and actions were much more humble."
Yan Li sneered, "When you were my age, you would not be attacked for no reason."
After saying that, he walked to the bookshelf.
The man closed his eyes slightly, and observed the method that Yan Li chose.
Yan Li walked around the bookshelf, and from beginning to end, he looked disinterested, as if these methods were worthless in his eyes.
The man looked at Yan Li's appearance, and suddenly said coldly, "Since these methods do not interest you, no matter how long you choose, there will be no result."
Yan Li did not pay attention to him, because at this time, he suddenly picked up a dusty gray leather book in the corner, and patted away the dust, only to see the words "Heart Cleansing Formula" written on it.
Seeing this, the man sneered in his heart, and said, "Do you know why it is dusty? Because in the past hundred years, no one has been able to understand it. Without a unique copy, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to cultivate it. I advise you to give up, lest you waste your good time. "
Yan Li said with a smile, "Listening to you, instructor, those who have not understood it, do you include you?"
The man frowned slightly, and said, "How do you know that I am an instructor?"
Yan Li said, "Not only do I know that you are an instructor, but I also know that you are not an ordinary instructor, but an instructor of the Inner Yard."
"You also know that?" The man's eyes lit up.
The corner of Yan Li's mouth rose slightly, and he said, "If I tell you the reason, you will give me the cultivation experience of the" Heart Cleansing Formula ", how about it?"
The man sneered, "So that's what you want. Then say it."
Yan Li said, "When I just came in, you were observing me at first sight. Your eyes were not like looking at a strange visitor, but a teacher looking at a student, which means that you already knew my identity and purpose. Then you called out my name, so I was more sure of my guess. When you were testing me, you deliberately slowed down the speed of your sword, so that I could see clearly the route and angle of your sword. Of course, you would not give advice to someone you have just met for the first time. This is just a subconscious action when you teach a student."
"I think …" He paused, "those who can freely enter the library must be of high status in the Academy, and they must be instructors of the Inner Yard."
The man was stunned, and then smiled faintly, "You are right. My name is Su Yu, one of the instructors of the Inner Yard. However, I don't have the experience of the "Heart Cleansing Formula", but I can give you a piece of advice. "
"If you don't want to die," he said expressionlessly, "you'd better not cultivate it."
Yan Li still took the "Heart Cleansing Formula".
He had spent fifteen years cultivating a method that was almost hopeless. How could he give up just because of Su Yu's words?
He went back to the inn to change clothes, and went straight to the address on the note without stopping.
The address was not far. It was in the Guiyi Lane of Yongan Garden.
The Guiyi Lane was also quite lively, and hawkers could be seen along the street. Yan Li came to an inn according to the address. When he walked in, he found that the inn was very deserted.
The innkeeper was napping behind the counter with his chin propped up.
Yan Li's heart skipped a beat. Could he be the so-called "leader"?
Perhaps the footsteps startled the innkeeper, and he opened his eyes. When he saw Yan Li's clothes, he immediately became spirited, "Sir, are you here to eat or stay?"
Yan Li said, "I am here to see the leader."
The innkeeper frowned, "What leader?"
"He is looking for me. Let him come up." At this time, a soft voice came from upstairs.
Under the innkeeper's ambiguous gaze, Yan Li went upstairs. When he saw an open door, he walked over.
He saw an eye-catching girl standing at the door. Her beautiful face was full of smiles, and her beautiful eyes were like the clear autumn water. She was wearing a waist-length dress. The style and embroidery of this dress were not particularly outstanding, but it highlighted her magnificent and proud breasts. Below the breasts was a green jade belt, and her slender waist could be grasped. The contrast between these two places created a strong visual impact.
"Are you the leader?" Yan Li's eyes were very bold, and he glanced back and forth on her body.
The girl was already used to it. She smiled sweetly, and suddenly revealed an amazing charm, "If you are not afraid that I will eat you, come in."
Yan Li followed her into the room, and said, "I think you already know why I am here."
The bedroom was not big, and the furnishings were ordinary.
The girl sat on the chair behind the tea table, and stretched without hesitation, "Of course I know. Otherwise, why would I leave a secret signal for you?"
Yan Li suddenly realized that "leader" was just a secret signal.
"Didn't you ask?"
