He found his way back to the mansion with familiarity and flipped over it, but it was pitch black without a single light.
"Could it have been moved away?"
He thought that Gu Caiwei couldn't have moved so fast, so he could only search the rooms one by one. He found a high place and glanced around. The main mansion must be the residence of the disciples of the Lotus Seat, so he could skip it.
There were only a few courtyards in the mansion, so it was easy to search.
When he reached the third courtyard, he found a light that was hard to detect.
He went in and looked through the window, and it was indeed Gu Haiyuan who was burning the midnight oil.
Gu Haiyuan leaned over the table, holding a monocle, and looked at a piece of parchment paper from head to toe, then from toe to head, sometimes sighing, and sometimes praising.
He was almost completely focused when he suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around abruptly and found someone sitting next to him. He was almost scared to death. "You, are you a human or a ghost?"
When he saw that it was Yan Li, he scolded angrily, "Little bastard, are you trying to scare me to death!"
"Who's Grandpa?" Yan Li said with a faint smile.
"Of course, Grandpa Yan is Grandpa." Gu Haiyuan smiled embarrassedly and carefully moved the Snow Sword away. "Can't you make some noise in the middle of the night? If you really scare me to death, it will be a great loss for humanity, and no one will help you decipher the blueprint of the Void-Breaching Ship."
Yan Li put away the Separation Cliff and said, "I heard from Liumu Bingjian that the blueprint is missing something?"
"A few core tactics are missing." Gu Haiyuan said confidently, "But it's okay, as long as you give me some time, I can perfectly restore it."
"You don't know the wonders of this talisman." He talked non-stop like a person who found his favorite thing, "I suspect it is made up of more mysterious tactics than the Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends. There are more than ten basic tactics in it. Not to mention me, even if my Master was reborn, he probably wouldn't be able to tell its origin. It was amazing. How could it use such a simple tactic to do something so complicated? Where did Shangguan Jinhong get it … I heard that in ancient times, before cultivators were born, there was a clan that relied on talismans to survive … It's very likely that it's a treasure left behind from that era … "
He suddenly caught a glimpse of Yan Li's drowsiness and said angrily, "Are you even listening to me?"
"What?" Yan Li shuddered and asked confusedly, "What happened to me just now?"
Gu Haiyuan said angrily, "Do you know the importance of talismans to humans? In the future, talismans would definitely become popular. Not to mention the future, even now there are many things that can only be done by relying on talismans. Your attitude of not taking it seriously will be eliminated by the times. "
"Is that so?" Yan Li didn't think much of it.
Gu Haiyuan grew even more furious. After some thought, he suddenly sneered and said, "Is it really alright for you to be so disrespectful? I heard that you're going to Jixia Academy to study. Based on your current level, I'm afraid you won't even be able to pass the entry-level assessment. "
"There's such a thing?" Yan Li said in shock.
"Do you think you're so great just because you're able to challenge two realms above you?" Gu Haiyuan sneered. "Those who don't understand talismans are bound to be eliminated."
"Is it as important as you say?" Yan Li couldn't help but be suspicious.
Gu Haiyuan sneered and said, "Cultivation starts from the fourth realm, and treasures start from the spirit grade. Advancement is closely related to talismans. Based on your current level, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for you to advance in the future. Not only will the Nine Schools of Confucian orthodoxy not want you, even the big shots of the various realms in the human world won't want a tactic idiot like you. If you want to continue on the path of cultivation, it's best to listen to my advice. Understand the basics of talismans as soon as possible and prepare for your future cultivation. "
Yan Li's sleepiness instantly disappeared, and he said in shock, "No wonder I've been feeling that something's wrong with Leaving Cliff recently. Is it because my method of immolation is wrong?"
Gu Haiyuan instantly became proud and said proudly, "You can ask me about treasures and talismans. In this aspect, I'm the authority. However … "
"However?" Yan Li said.
"I can teach you," Gu Haiyuan said arrogantly, "but you have to give me something in return."
"Universe Bag?" Yan Li said.
"Thousand Thread Noodles," Gu Haiyuan said lightly.
"That's easy." Yan Li generously took out the Thousand Thread Noodles and gave it to him.
Gu Haiyuan spread it on the table and lightly tapped it with his finger. Instantly, ripples appeared, and mysterious talismans floated out of the ripples.
His finger skillfully moved the talismans. After the talismans regrouped, they once again disappeared into the mask. He put the mask on his face, and an unfamiliar face was instantly revealed.
"Didn't you say you only had one chance to change?" Yan Li said, glaring at him.
Gu Haiyuan did not hold back in his ridicule. "See, you've exposed your ignorance in an instant. I've changed the structure of the technique. Only us grandmaster alchemists can do this. A layman like you shouldn't even think about it. "
"I must be hated to death by Shangguan Jinhong now," he said melancholically. "Without the Thousand Thread Noodles, I'm afraid I won't be able to move an inch. Give it back to me, and think of it as me saving my old life. Master really has foresight. He knew that my personality would be like this, and specially designed the Thousand Thread Noodles for me. "
Seeing how pitiful he sounded, Yan Li was too embarrassed to ask for it back. He thought for a moment and said, "So this thing is only worth a thousand noodles in the hands of you grandmaster alchemists."
"Of course," Gu Haiyuan said proudly. "Now you know the importance of learning talismans."
"I know, please teach me, Father," Yan Li said sincerely.
Gu Haiyuan didn't dare to make things too difficult for him, afraid that he would hold a sword to his neck if he didn't agree.
"Talismans are divided into one hundred and eight basic techniques of Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends. I've already told you about this last time." He said lightly, "These basic techniques are formed by ancient runes. Each rune has its own specific function. When they form into techniques, they will produce different effects. The techniques can also be mixed to form a combination technique, which will also be stronger. The problem of your artifacts can be easily solved after you've learned the basics … "
In the next four hours, he explained the basics of talismans to Yan Li, as well as a large number of allusions to the origins of talismans.
At the end, he took a sip of tea and cleared his throat. "Right now, you're equivalent to an idiot in techniques. When you've mastered the one hundred and eight basic techniques of Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends, I'll tell you more in-depth things. Otherwise, it'll be a waste of time."
Although it was only the basics, Yan Li had a whole new understanding of the advancement of Separation Cliff.
"Take this back and read it." Gu Haiyuan took out a book from who knows where. He fondly patted the non-existent dust off it and handed it to Yan Li.
Yan Li took it and read it. On it was written: One hundred and eight postures of Bedroom Technique …
"Wrong, wrong …" Gu Haiyuan's face was slightly red. He hurriedly snatched it back and took out another book for Yan Li.
"We're both men." Yan Li gave him an "understanding" look.
The second book was called "Basics of Talismans."
Yan Li put it into his Qiankun bag and said: "After you've deciphered the blueprint, send a copy to Lei Manor. Give it to a person called Li Xiang Jun."
Gu Haiyuan said in surprise: "You're restless and stay here to learn talismans from me. Where are you going?"
"Giant Deer Realm." Yan Li said.
"What are you going to do there?" Gu Haiyuan said indignantly, "Is there something more important than learning talismans from me? Do you know how many people are fighting to be my disciple, but I've rejected them all! They don't know how to cherish me at all! "
"I have a reason I must go." Yan Li clenched his fist.
