The sky was about to turn dark when Qiu Ji got off the sedan chair. Holding a brocade box, he hurriedly walked towards the treasury.
After waiting for the guards outside the first door to verify his identity, he hurried a few steps and walked into the inner room. He began to apologize from afar, "Lord Jiang, I'm really sorry for making you wait so long! I was in the palace asking for orders and documents and wasted a lot of time before I could rush over! "
He was one of the eight eunuchs in charge of the Ceremony Directorate. His position in the palace was not inferior to the other eight eunuchs. Only then did he have the qualifications to obtain the key to the treasury.
Although he couldn't be compared to Head Eunuch Han Ling, he was still one of the higher-ups among the internal officials.
He apologized as soon as he saw him and explained the reason for his late arrival in a few words. It was very typical of his style of doing things.
Logically speaking, the system of internal officials had nothing to do with external officials. He didn't need to be so polite to a fourth-rank Blue Medal. However, the title of "Tianjiao of the Nation" was hard to say. It was possible for him to reach any position in the future.
The treasury guards guarding the door were used to this and kept whatever thoughts they had to the bottom of their hearts.
Jiang Wang withdrew from his visualization of the Fire World Technique. He didn't have the impatience of waiting an entire afternoon. He smiled and said, "It's fine. I know that some rules take a lot of time to follow. "
The internal official who appeared in front of him was a bit thin, but his facial features were gentle and his complexion was ruddy. His cultivation should be good, and his position in the palace shouldn't be too bad.
Jiang Wang didn't impolitely size him up. After a glance, he calmly met the other person's eyes.
"It's great that you can understand!" Qiu Ji smiled and said, "Then let's go in. We won't delay your cultivation."
"After you," Jiang Wang said politely.
Speaking of which, Qiu Ji had seen many high-ranking officials, nobles, and disciples of famous families. However, it was rare to see someone like Jiang Wang who was neither arrogant nor impatient.
He could see that the other person didn't have to be gentle because of his low birth. On the contrary, he had a certain confidence, as if he was ready to welcome anything at any time. That was why he could be so calm.
As the eunuch in charge of the Ceremony Directorate, he had many opportunities to go out of the palace. Among the people he had met, there were also those who came from poor backgrounds but became famous overnight. Each one of them wanted to prove themselves more than the other, especially those who could not bear to be slighted.
Jiang Qingyang was really different.
However, these thoughts were only in Qiu Ji's mind.
After Qiu Ji arrived, he took out the seal and verified his identity. Only then could the second door of the national treasury be opened. However, he didn't see any gatekeepers. He didn't know where they were hiding.
Following behind Qiu Ji, they saw an iron wall. On the wall, there were carvings of all kinds of strange beasts. There were alleys and corners on both sides.
They kept to the left.
Qiu Ji held half of the token in the brocade box, and the other half was in the hands of the warden of the "Library of Arts". They had to rely on the document issued by the Ceremony Directorate to move it. This was also the reason why Qiu Ji said that "requesting the token and document took a lot of time".
Jiang Wang followed behind the eunuch, allowing him to deal with all kinds of inspections.
In short, it was very complicated and confusing. Finally, they arrived at the corresponding door of the library.
After Qiu Ji matched the token of the warden of the library, the door of the library slowly opened.
It was not as tall and grand as they imagined.
There were only rows of stone shelves with books of all kinds of materials. Of course, there were also some jade slips, jade slips, bamboo slips, and the like.
They were arranged neatly according to their categories.
There was no dust. The collections here were regularly maintained, replaced, and supplemented. The large and small protective formations here were enough to ensure that they would be preserved for a long time.
"This is the library of the Inner Mansion level." Qiu Ji introduced, "You can choose from here."
The warden of the library was wrapped in armor. Other than his eyes, nothing else could be seen. He didn't speak either. He just followed behind Qiu Ji and Jiang Wang silently. It seemed that he was purely supervising them.
It was good to choose freely, but there were too many choices. It was enough to make one dizzy …
Jiang Wang looked around for a while, but did not see the type of secret art he wanted.
Qiu Ji stood to the side and suddenly smiled. "Before I came, I had a little understanding of the techniques here. If Lord Jiang Jue believes me, you can tell me your request. "
"That would be great! Of course I believe in you. "Jiang Wang had no reason to refuse. He immediately said sincerely," I want an eye technique. "
Qiu Ji smiled and walked forward without hesitation. He stopped in front of the twenty-seventh row of bookshelves and said, "These are all Inner Mansion level eye techniques."
Jiang Wang followed him to take a look. The row of stone bookshelves was indeed filled with all kinds of eye technique manuals.
Whether it was the books or the jade slips, they were not allowed to be flipped through directly. For many cultivators, once they had seen it, they had learned it.
However, there was a wooden tablet beside each eye technique. The tablet roughly recorded the origin of the secret art and its general effect.
For example, the wooden tablet in front of Jiang Wang's eyes had the words "Obtained from the Yang Expedition, the Yang Clan's Burning Blood Red Eyes Inner Mansion Chapter, Attack Technique."
What a strange fate …
Jiang Wang had participated in the Yang Destruction War and received a noble title for his military exploits. Now, he saw the Yang Kingdom's royal family's eye technique manual in the Qi Treasury. There seemed to be some kind of entanglement in the unseen world.
Of course, this eye technique was not to his liking.
The Yang Kingdom's royal family's secret art was definitely not weak. However, Jiang Wang's priority now was to choose an eye technique similar to Li Longchuan's Candlelight Divine Power to complement his Immortal Sound and Hearing to complete the "Knowledge" section.
However, with so many secret arts, he did not know how long it would take to look through them one by one …
Jiang Wang sighed inwardly and silently searched with his eyes.
Qiu Ji, who was observant, smiled again. "Lord Jiang Jue, what kind of eye technique do you need? Or if you have any more specific requirements, you can tell me. I know a little about this place. "
Jiang Wang did not refuse this kindness. He had already thought of his own needs. He said directly, "I need an eye technique that strengthens my observation ability. In this category, I will prioritize eye techniques with more potential. "
Asking for potential was naturally to prepare for the derivation of the Dao Development Stage. Even though Jiang Wang had never learned any Pupil Techniques, an Inner Mansion Stage Pupil Technique might not be of much help to him with his current strength. Therefore, he considered more long-term.
The Dao Development Stage could derive the secret arts to a higher level. It also required the secret arts to have a certain amount of potential. For low-level Dao arts like the Poison-Swallowing Stinger, the derivation of the Poison-Swallowing Flower would reach its peak. No matter how much effort was expended, it would not be able to progress further. Its potential would only reach that level.
This time, Qiu Ji thought for a moment. Then, he took three steps forward and pointed at the third row of the left bookshelf. "This one."
He took another ten steps forward and pointed at the fourth row of the right bookshelf. "This one."
He took another two steps forward and pointed at the top row of the right bookshelf. "This one."
Finally, he stopped and smiled. "These three techniques all meet your requirements. Considering the potential, it's best to choose the second one. "
Jiang Wang looked over them one by one. He only felt that the three eye techniques that Qiu Ji had introduced were indeed very good. They all met his requirements quite well.
Otherwise, how could Qiu Ji become one of the eight eunuchs in charge of the Ceremony Directorate when there were so many internal officials?
How could this be called a little understanding? He practically knew all the secret arts in the entire Inner Mansion level library like the back of his hand.
With his identity and age, it was impossible for him to learn all the secret arts in the entire library. Therefore, he should have only memorized the brief information on those wooden tablets.
The only value of doing this was probably to express goodwill to a certain person at a time like this.
However, the Ceremony Directorate had eight eunuchs in charge of the Ceremony Directorate and eight attendant eunuchs. All of them had the qualifications to leave the palace to handle matters. Even if the emperor wanted to reward someone, it might not necessarily be him who would lead the way.
It was precisely because this matter was so costly and difficult that it showed Qiu Ji's intentions. If he could handle this matter so appropriately, how could he handle other matters?
Jiang Wang praised in his heart, but expressed his gratitude on the surface.
These secret arts couldn't be flipped open and looked at now. At most, he could only compare them with the simple introductions. From this, it seemed that the second eye technique that Qiu Ji had recommended was indeed the one with the most potential.
Since he had already accepted Qiu Ji's recommendation, it would appear that he didn't trust him very much if he looked left and right. Naturally, Jiang Wang wouldn't do that.
Therefore, after looking at the wooden tablet for the second eye technique, he turned his head and prepared to announce his choice to the warden of the library.
At this moment, Qiu Ji suddenly said, "Lord Jiang Jue, I have a suggestion. Would you like to hear it?"
Jiang Wang was also very polite. "It's my honor that Eunuch Ji is willing to advise me. Please speak. "
Qiu Ji rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile, "I personally think that the most valuable eye technique in this library at present should be the one behind me … but it may not meet your requirements."
"Since Eunuch Qiu recommended it, I must take a look." Jiang Wang walked over as he said this.
From beginning to end, the warden of the library didn't say a word. He stopped like a statue cast in this place and didn't interfere with Jiang Wang's choice in any way.
Qiu Ji smiled and turned his body slightly.
Jiang Wang followed his gaze and saw a fiery red bead placed on a stone tray.
This red bead was smooth and round, bright and uniform in color. It was extremely beautiful.
The wooden tablet next to it said, "One of the scattered inheritances of the Xu Nation, the Eye of Qianyang. Inner Mansion Chapter. "
As for the effect, the description was very simple —
"Soul Attack."
Only these four words.
But these four words immediately made Jiang Wang's eyes light up.
Up until now, Jiang Wang had only seen Wang Zhangji use a secret art that could participate in soul attacks in the Inner Mansion Stage!
He himself had developed the Soul Concealment Snake, but it was basically only effective in exploring the Inner Mansion. In a real battle of life and death, it rarely played any role. Most of the time, it was used by Jiang Wang to attract the opponent's attention.
In other words, as a killing art that involved the soul, the Soul Concealment Snake didn't qualify at all.
Jiang Wang took a deep breath. At this moment, of course, he had already judged the value of this art. Insight, observation … all of that was put aside for now.
Compared to the Soul Slaughtering Technique, the Inner Mansion's observational eye technique had no value in comparison.
Moreover, Jiang Wang's soul power was originally far superior to cultivators of the same level, but it had always been difficult for him to fully utilize it. It was perfect for this art!
"Is there a complete inheritance in the national treasury?" Jiang Wang asked directly.
Qiu Ji smiled and said, "There is an Outer Mansion Chapter. As for the Chapter after God's Arrival, it has already been lost … Whether in terms of potential or effect, it is the best Eye Technique in the library now."
It didn't matter that it was lost. Since there was a God-level cultivation method after it, it meant that it had the potential to reach a higher level.
He might be able to deduce it on the Dao Development Platform.
This was undoubtedly the best choice!
However, Jiang Wang didn't make a decision immediately.
He glanced at the Red Pearl that recorded the Eye of Qianyang again and forced himself to look away. He looked at Qiu Ji and said, "I wonder why you are helping me so much? Jiang Wang has little talent and little virtue. To be honest, I feel a little guilty at this moment. "
There was some surprise in Qiu Ji's eyes. Obviously, he didn't expect Jiang Wang to resist reaching out at this moment.
"Lord Jiang, a Tianjiao like you will represent the Qi Qi to participate in the battle at the Riverview Platform." He smiled more sincerely. "If I can help you, I will be helping Da Qi and His Majesty. You don't know how satisfied I will be! This isn't against the rules. It's just a little more effort to memorize it. Why wouldn't I do it? "
These words were really beautiful.
Most importantly, the words "not against the rules" convinced Jiang Wang. This meant that even if Qiu Ji had any requests in the future, it would be "not against the rules".
Jiang Wang thought for a moment and cupped his hands. "Then I thank you, Lord Jiang."
Qiu Ji smiled but didn't say anything.
Jiang Wang then said to the spell library warden, "I choose the Eye of Qianyang."
The spell library warden, who was covered in armor, spoke for the first time. Previously, when he talked to Qiu Ji, he only checked the token seal and didn't say anything.
"Please." His voice was very dull and had a feeling of oppression. "After you choose. This technique will be sealed for three years. There won't be a second person learning it for three years. "
This was a benefit. No matter how strong a technique was, its value would decrease if more people learned it.
That was because there were countless geniuses in the world. The more it was spread, the faster it would be solved.
Jiang Wang didn't say anything else. He reached out and grasped the fiery red pearl. When his spirit touched it slightly, the relevant records of the Eye of Qianyang flowed into his mind.
He closed his eyes and felt it for a while. When he opened his eyes, they were full of admiration.
Although it was only a flicker of light and was far from mastering it, this Eye of Qianyang already surprised him. As expected of a secret technique passed down from the Ming Nation!
The Sunrise Nation that once unified the Eastern Region left behind an inheritance. Even if it was only at the Inner Palace level, it was still marvelous. Compared to the Spirit Snake Concealment Technique that he explored himself, it was indeed incomparable.
Jiang Wang carefully put the Red Pearl back into the stone tray.
The spell library warden didn't say anything else. He only placed his palm on the stone bookshelf. The stone tray actually closed into a ball and wrapped the Red Pearl in it.
Then, the entire stone ball began to "sink", sinking into the stone base that was like a water surface.
The next time it appeared would be three years later.
During this time, even if someone received a reward and entered the spell library, they wouldn't be able to learn the Eye of Qianyang.
Jiang Wang followed the rules and didn't probe too much into the spell library warden. After learning the imperial secret technique, he left the spell library with Qiu Ji.
The two of them went back the way they came. As they walked, the spell library warden disappeared.
Jiang Wang didn't know how he disappeared, and he didn't want to know.
The Da Qi Empire was powerful in the Eastern Region, and naturally rich in the East.
The value of the various treasures in the national treasury was immeasurable.
Who knew how many experts were guarding here?
Asking less, looking less, and suppressing curiosity was the right thing to do.
As the eunuch of the Ceremony Directorate, Qiu Ji had been here countless times, but he still didn't look sideways.
This was a good example.
Following Qiu Ji, they walked out steadily and passed through many checkpoints. After repeated verification, they were finally able to leave the national treasury.
After leaving the city within the city, they were still in the majestic city.
It was already night time in Linzi.
The sky was dotted with stars, and the lights in Linzi City at night were like dragons.
The young eunuch waiting outside the national treasury had already lifted the curtain of the sedan.
Qiu Ji clasped his hands and walked towards the sedan in the palace.
Jiang Wang followed two steps and said, "I really don't know how to thank you for today's matter!"
Qiu Ji was one of the eight eunuchs in charge of the Ceremony Directorate. To be honest, he didn't have any way to help him.
Qiu Ji didn't seem to take it to heart. He looked back at him and smiled, "Just take it as forming good karma."
Then, he bowed and entered the sedan.
The sedan in the palace leisurely went away.
Jiang Wang stood alone outside the national treasury and was silent for a moment.
He raised his head and looked at the starry night sky, then walked towards the Xiashan Villa.
Speaking of which, every time he came back to Linzi City, he was either busy with various things or cultivating behind closed doors. The sedan came, the carriage left.
He rarely had the experience of walking alone on the streets of Linzi.
He 'swam' freely in the noisy crowd. In the bustling city, he silently pondered the secret of the Eye of Qianyang.
This technique was passed down from the Great Yang Empire that unified the eastern region and sought to dominate the world. Although it was only a fragment of the Inner Mansion level, it was still very domineering and vigorous.
At the beginning of its cultivation, one had to draw the light of the scorching sun into the eye at noon every day. Supplemented by the power of the soul, it had to be refined into the eye through a secret technique.
Once completed, one would be able to draw upon the power of Qianyang. In a battle at the level of the soul, it was extremely domineering.
Compared to the fire world technique that he was still exploring, the complete cultivation method of the Eye of Qianyang was undoubtedly much easier to grasp.
Unfortunately, it wasn't noon and he couldn't immediately try it out.
Jiang Wang didn't relax after carefully studying the secret of the Eye of Qianyang. Instead, he continued to deduce the fire world technique.
As he walked slowly, he was immersed in the boundless mysteries of the world of techniques.
…
…
It was at this time that Chao Yu saw this young man strolling amidst the crowd in the slowly passing carriage.
She saw him strolling leisurely, so harmonious with the crowd on the streets of Linzi. Yet, he also had an independent charm, like the stars and the moon.
"Who is this person?" The person beside her asked.
"Jiang Wang."
"The person who secretly learned your blade technique at the last moment?"
Chao Yu lowered the curtain of the carriage window. "He is someone worthy of my blade."
The lights of the human world and the stars of the sky were clearly distinguished.
The horse pulling the carriage didn't make a single sound.
In silence, the carriage drove out of Linzi City.
