"Give it to me," Yan Li said without any hesitation.
Gu Haiyuan cried again, "I can do anything but this. My wife sewed this for me personally …"
Yan Li laughed, "It's time to test you. Let's see which is more important, your wife's belongings or your life."
Gu Haiyuan immediately took off the leather bag and passed it to Yan Li angrily, "You devil, robber …"
Yan Li took it over indifferently, "I've always been a robber."
He frowned when he smelled a stench. "How long has it been since you last washed it? I only take what I need from the things in here … "He was about to pour the bag out as he spoke.
Gu Haiyuan was stunned. He quickly took the bag and showed a fawning expression, "Erm, there's a Soul Stone, a bit of Star Silk and a Sky Mystic Stone inside. This is all I have. I'll give it to you. I'll take it. You don't have to help me with my smelly bag."
Yan Li said with a faint smile, "You're just the boss of a fireworks shop. I can't believe you can earn so much. Let's not talk about other things. The Fire Element Pill and the Thousand Thread Noodles are worth a lot. Also, the thing that you used to fly last night, are your fireworks made of gold?"
Gu Haiyuan smiled embarrassedly. He took out the things and said, "Fireworks can be sold for some money. Occasionally, I do some private work and help people make some special relics."
"Relics?" Yan Li said.
Gu Haiyuan explained, "It's an equipment that is between a tool and a treasured tool. The core is the talisman. The Thousand Thread Noodles is a kind of relics. Some relics are even more useful than treasured tools. However, relics don't have the space to upgrade. They'll be fixed after they're made."
Yan Li said, "Tell me about the talisman. Be more detailed."
Gu Haiyuan rolled his eyes. He thought, "I didn't ask you just now because I thought you knew. Turns out you still don't know anything."
"The origin of the talisman can't be investigated. I only know that it used to be a huge cultivation system. Then it gradually declined and was replaced by a new system. Regarding this, I suggest you buy a book called The Legend of the Origin of the Talisman. It was written by a cultivator who was obsessed with the study of history. The discussion in the book is very unique."
Seeing that Yan Li was listening attentively, he carefully sat up and continued, "Talismans are formed by the combination of different tactics. Tactics are further divided into basic tactics and combination tactics. Different combinations of tactics will form different talismans. The basic tactics are divided into thirty-six Heavenly Spirits and seventy-two Earthly Fiends, a total of one hundred and eight types. After splitting and combining them, one can derive one hundred and eight thousand different combination tactics. As long as one can master one tenth of the combination tactics, one can be called a Heavenly Master Craftsman, which is already a rare talent. If one can master half, one can be called a Heavenly Master Craftsman … "
"What about all of them?" Yan Li said.
Gu Haiyuan sighed. "In the whole world, only my Master Yu Shenji has mastered all 108,000 tactics. He has reached the acme of perfection. That's why he's called the Disciple of the Heavenly Craftsman God. Unfortunately …"
Yan Li said, "Then how many tactics have you mastered?"
Gu Haiyuan raised his head proudly. "I'm not talented, but I was already a Master Craftsman many years ago."
"Oh?" Yan Li smiled. "Then how many talismans are there in this bag?"
Gu Haiyuan said proudly, "A total of 17 talismans. Each talisman is made up of hundreds of tactics. It took me …"
"Wasn't it made by your wife?" Yan Li said with a faint smile.
Gu Haiyuan came to his senses. His expression changed. He hurriedly took out the things from the bag and pushed them to Yan Li. Then, he turned the bag upside down. "Look, it's all empty …"
"What are you looking at?" Yan Li snatched the bag. "The most valuable thing is this bag."
As he spoke, he reached into the bag under Gu Haiyuan's desperate expression.
"Hmm?"
Yan Li's expression gradually became very interesting. The bottom of the bag was empty. Gu Haiyuan had indeed taken out everything. However, the space in the bag did not match its actual size. With a thought, his consciousness suddenly arrived at a very spacious space.
His consciousness entering a strange space was a very wonderful experience.
He had experienced it once before on the Dragon God Ring.
This space was probably less than half the size of the corner of the attic. However, there were no constructions. It was just nothingness. However, there were many inexplicable patterns of different shapes. Some were round, some were square. There were seventeen of them. They should be the 17 talismans that Gu Haiyuan mentioned. There were incomprehensible but very exquisite runes on the patterns. They should be the combination tactics.
With just one look, Yan Li felt like his brain was about to be knotted. He hurriedly left this space.
Gu Haiyuan saw his expression and knew that he had discovered the secret of the bag. He could not help but kneel on the ground and cry. "Yan Li, you robber. I hate you!"
Yan Li smiled and patted his shoulder. "I risked my life to sneak into the Prince's Residence to avenge you. This is the reward."
Gu Haiyuan said angrily, "You make it sound nice. You only agreed because you want to take revenge on the princess! I don't care. You can take the Qiankun Bag. You must leave these things behind … "
"Vast and vast. A small piece of space contains the universe." Yan Li stepped on the Soul Stone, his face full of admiration, "Who gave it this name? It has a wonderful meaning."
"You …" Gu Haiyuan gritted his teeth. "You robber! Bandit! Blood-sucking devil! "
"Now you know the consequences of provoking me." Yan Li bent down to pick up the Soul Stone, held it between his thumb and forefinger, and blew on it. Watching the magnificent light flickering slightly, his mind was also shaken. He couldn't help but say, "It's said that the Soul Stone is transformed from a person's soul. I didn't believe it before, but now it seems to be true."
Gu Haiyuan sneered disdainfully. "Only a person of noble character can be so magnificent. You are at most the lowest grade of Sky Mystic Stone."
Yan Li smiled indifferently. When he was about to put the soul stone into the Qiankun Bag, he suddenly frowned. "It stinks. Quickly wash it."
"Me?" Gu Haiyuan pointed at his nose in disbelief. He shouted in grief and indignation, "I am a Heavenly Master Craftsman. Do you know how many Aristocratic Families are fighting to have me work for them? What kind of person do you think I am? "
"Are you going or not?" Yan Li took out the Leaving Cliff and put it on his neck.
Gu Haiyuan immediately became listless. "Go, go, go. I will go, okay? Quickly put it away. We are all civilized people. It is not good to use knives or guns …"
"It is a sword." Yan Li said.
"Fine, fine, fine. It is a sword. Can we talk it out …"
…
The next day, Yan Li changed his appearance and followed Gu Haiyuan to the Red Mountain Garden on Liuguan Street.
The Red Mountain Garden was specially set up by the Prince's Mansion to train professional servants for the Prince's Mansion. The steward was called Liu Er Mazi. He had been bribed by Gu Haiyuan. He agreed to let Yan Li enter the Prince's Mansion as a guard without training.
Yan Li's current face was a face that had been recorded in the "Thousand Silk Face". He was originally going to enter as a gardener, but because this face had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and because Yan Li did not know how to garden, he had to temporarily change to a guard.
It just so happened that the Prince's Mansion was in urgent need of a group of guards.
His current identity was a nephew of Gu Haiyuan's family. His name was Gu Guanlan.
When the two arrived at the Red Mountain Garden, Liu Er Mazi was lecturing a dozen young men in different clothes. "Let me tell you. Once you enter the Prince's Mansion, it is the beginning of a meteoric rise. You have been trained under me for the longest time. You know the rules. Remember the only rule. Master's words are always right. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" the young men said in unison.
"Steward Liu." Gu Haiyuan approached and called in a low voice.
"He's here." Liu Er Mazi glanced at the two.
"Hey, he's here. This is my good-for-nothing nephew." Gu Haiyuan said as he forcefully pulled Yan Li. He glared at him and said, "You blind thing. Hurry up and greet Steward Liu!"
Yan Li staggered from the pull. He secretly glanced at Gu Haiyuan, then straightened his back and cupped his hands at Liu Er Mazi. He said loudly, "Gu Guanlan greets Steward Liu."
Liu Er Mazi's eyes brightened. Yan Li really did give people a feeling that his eyes had lit up.
He was dressed in a green robe, which accentuated his well-proportioned figure. He was nearly eight feet tall and had an extraordinary stature. Although he was slightly thin, his handsome face had greatly reduced the flaw of being thin, making him look quite strong overall.
"Hmm. Have you awakened?" Liu Er Mazi said.
Yan Li was stunned.
Gu Haiyuan raised his hand and slapped the back of Yan Li's head. "Are you dumb? Steward is asking if you've awakened your real name!"
Although the slap was not painful, it was obvious that Gu Haiyuan was taking the opportunity to take revenge.
Yan Li looked at him. "I've awakened it."
Gu Haiyuan shuddered as he looked at him. He thought to himself, 'Oh no, I've angered this devil. Am I not going to suffer a double loss?' He immediately put on a flattering smile and said softly, "You should be more realistic when you're acting. I'll compensate you with another relic."
"You said it yourself." Yan Li said softly.
Liu Er Mazi's eyes lit up. "Oh? What's his cultivation level? "
"A rank-four martial artist." Yan Li said.
Liu Er Mazi shook his head in disappointment. "That's not enough. Forget it. Get in."
Yan Li then walked to stand with the young men.
Gu Haiyuan bade farewell to Liu Er Mazi. "I'll have to trouble Steward Liu from now on."
"Boss Gu, you're too kind. Based on our friendship, this is a piece of cake." Liu Er Mazi chuckled. It seemed that he had received quite a lot of benefits.
After the two of them exchanged pleasantries, Gu Haiyuan left. Liu Er Mazi shouted, "Follow me." He then brought everyone out of the Red Mountain Garden and went straight to the Imperial Residence.
Of course, they were not qualified to enter through the main entrance. They were led by a cold-looking guard through the side door.
The Imperial Residence occupied a large area. The winding paths led to a secluded place. Everyone except for Yan Li was stunned when they passed by a luxurious courtyard.
Steward Liu shouted coldly, "Have you forgotten what I've taught you? What you should look at and what you shouldn't look at. Be smart and don't look around! "
After walking for a while, they arrived at a spacious courtyard. Beyond the courtyard was a corridor.
There were already three people waiting there. They were all dressed in the Imperial Residence's guard uniform. They were dressed in green and white, with a light red belt and black boots. However, the person in the middle was wearing a blue coat. It seemed that he was the leader of a certain level.
"Coach Zhang." Steward Liu's cold expression immediately changed when he saw him. He greeted him with a charming smile. "You look good. It seems that your cultivation has improved again."
"It's alright," Coach Zhang said lightly.
Steward Liu smiled awkwardly. "I've brought the people you wanted. I'll take my leave first."
"Go." Coach Zhang was not interested in talking to him at all. His gaze swept back and forth between Yan Li and the others. There was an invisible majesty in his eyes. "My name is Zhang Jingsong. I'll be your coach from now on. When you came here, someone should have told you that once you signed the contract, you'll be a member of the Imperial Residence in life and a ghost of the Imperial Residence in death. Now, each of you should report your identity and family, as well as your cultivation … "
He fixed his gaze on Yan Li. "We'll start with you."
Yan Li had no choice but to stand up and say loudly, "My name is Gu Guanlan. I'm a Rank Four Martial Artist. I'm from …"
Before he could finish, there was a sudden giggle. Everyone felt their eyes blur. A breathtakingly beautiful girl suddenly appeared.
The girl's beautiful eyes stared at Yan Li's face. She giggled and said, "When did you change your name?"
Yan Li's heart sank.
