He felt that something was not right.
This was not because he had obtained it too easily, but because this martial art gave him a strange feeling. It did not have a subtle, profound, or grand feeling. There was a strange and inexplicable aura to it.
He believed in his feelings because of the Omniscient Mirror, his intuition was much sharper than the average person's.
He did not cultivate this secret manual hastily. He kept staring at it, trying to figure out the truth.
With the Omniscient Mirror, he could see every detail of the small silk book. He could even see inside and out. He could see every fiber of the book clearly.
He could tell whether it was real or fake. This silk book had been around for a long time. It was not a fake one.
After a while, he could tell that this silk book had a few hundred years of history.
However, the martial art of this ancient book was indeed strange.
After studying it for a while, he could only try to cultivate it.
His inner energy followed the heart technique but nothing happened. After one circulation, there was no reaction. He could not find a way to cultivate it. This was a fresh experience for him.
Ever since he cultivated the Omniscient Mirror, his comprehension was amazing. As long as it was a martial art, he could learn it in one go. He could see through the secret with just one look.
However, this heart technique was different. It was strange. It could not be said to be brilliant, but there was something strange about it. It was as if there was a layer of fog covering it. He could not see through it no matter how hard he tried. This made Chu Li curious and cautious.
He disappeared into the courtyard.
The next moment, he appeared in a courtyard in the Imperial Residence of King Jing. He coughed.
Lu Yurong opened the window, revealing her crystal clear face.
She was cultivating. Her appearance had not faded yet. She looked like a jade statue. Her eyes were cold but dark and threatening. It was as if she could see through people's hearts.
"What is it?" She frowned and looked at Chu Li with dissatisfaction.
It was already late at night, but Chu Li suddenly came to visit. People would think that there was something going on between them. It would only cause gossip.
Chu Li said, "Let's talk inside."
Lu Yurong frowned and glared at him. She waved her hand. "Come in."
She looked at Chu Li's face and knew that it was important.
Chu Li pushed the door open and entered.
As soon as she stepped into the house, a faint fragrance wafted into her nose, refreshing her mind. The decorations in the house were simple and elegant, matching her temperament.
She was wearing a loose nightgown, and her beautiful hair was loose, black and shiny, as if shrouded in a layer of mist. Her sparkling and translucent face emitted a warm luster, no different from suet white jade.
She was dressed so casually, but she suddenly looked more charming and less cold. Her flirtatious temperament seemed to fill the room.
Lu Yurong sat on the armchair and looked at him coldly, "You came here in the middle of the night. What can't we talk about tomorrow?"
Chu Li took out the Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual from his sleeve and passed it to her. "I can't wait until tomorrow."
Lu Yurong took it and glanced at it casually.
She raised her head and looked at him.
Chu Li said, "I've just gotten it. I'm showing it to you as a sign of keeping my promise."
Lu Yurong glared at him.
He was a man of his word, but he always played tricks and took the opportunity to raise conditions. It was unusual for him to keep his promise so easily. Something unusual must have happened, or else he would not have come so late.
She looked down and flipped through it. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
"What do you think?" Chu Li said, "It was a lucky hit. I personally went to the Autumn Wind Camp to investigate and tracked the murderer to the High Hill Association. The High Hill Association destroyed the Autumn Wind Camp because of this secret manual. When I went there, the High Hill Association was being destroyed by the Hao Ran Faction, so I took the opportunity to take this secret manual."
"The Hao Ran Faction …" Lu Yurong said, "It's considered a second-rate faction, but they are well-informed. If that's the case, it's your wedding dress!"
Chu Li smiled. "I took advantage of a loophole and was lucky to get this secret manual."
"The Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual, and it's just such a small one?" Lu Yurong shook her head and sighed. "It feels a little unreal."
"I feel the same," Chu Li said.
Lu Yurong frowned and thought about it, then shook her head.
Chu Li said, "I think this secret manual is fake."
"… You think so too?" Lu Yurong looked at him. "Don't tell me you gave me a fake one to fool me?"
"I'm not that free!" Chu Li said impatiently. "If I really don't want to show it to you, just say that I didn't get it. Why would I fool you with this!"
Lu Yurong pursed her lips and smiled.
She slowly stopped smiling and sighed. "Looks like this Cloud Slashing Treasure Manual is really strange!"
Chu Li said, "Is it really a conspiracy? A trap? "
Lu Yurong looked down and flipped through it again. She sighed. "It seems right, but it's not. It's hard to determine if it's fake. Usually, people who get the secret manual will try to cultivate it. If they can't cultivate it, they will doubt themselves, thinking that it's because they don't have enough aptitude and comprehension."
Chu Li said, "The person who created this heart technique is not an ordinary person. Moreover, this secret manual is hundreds of years old. He really put in a lot of effort!"
"Yes, this is the real thing." Lu Yurong smiled. "Do you think it's really a profound heart technique? Both of us can't see through it. Don't miss it!"
Chu Li smiled. "Then you can try to cultivate it."
Lu Yurong laughed. "What if I really cultivate it? What if the person who used this secret manual to fool people didn't think that this secret manual is really a profound heart technique? Is that possible? "
"It's very possible." Chu Li laughed.
What kind of earth-shattering luck would be needed to encounter such a thing. Lu Yurong was really imaginative.
"Alright, then I'll try to cultivate it. I'm free anyway. There's nothing to do recently." Lu Yurong smiled.
"Something will happen very soon! It could've been peaceful for a while, but now it seems like there's a storm again. There's never a moment of peace. "Chu Li said," How's the strength of the Ji Public House? "
"Autumn Wind Camp is within the borders of the Ji Public House, right?" Lu Yurong said. "We mind our own business and rarely have any conflicts."
"If that's the case, their strength is not bad." Chu Li nodded.
Lu Yurong glared at him but did not deny it.
The strength of the Ji Public House far surpassed that of the Yi Public House. Although it was slightly weaker than the Ren Public House, the difference was not too big. So both sides restrained each other for fear of hurting the innocent.
The relationship between the High Duke's Public Houses was like that between countries. It was almost impossible for them to live in peace. There would always be some disputes and friction.
Lu Yurong said, "You want to snatch the case from the Ji Public House? … There are Innate Masters, right? "
According to her experience, as long as it involved a case of a faction extermination, there would usually be Innate Masters.
"There are Innate Masters." Chu Li nodded.
Lu Yurong's face darkened. "If there are Innate Masters, then it's the High Duke's Public House's case. What does the Secret Guardians Hall want to do?"
Chu Li said, "I'm just afraid that the High Duke's Public House won't be able to control themselves and want to snatch the secret manual."
"You underestimate the High Duke's Public House!" Lu Yurong laughed coldly. "No matter how bad it is, they will still act according to the law. As for the secret manual, they will at most make a copy. They won't keep it for themselves!"
Chu Li laughed. "Isn't that enough?"
"Chu Li, you should understand that if the Secret Guardians Hall meddles, the High Duke's Public House will not be polite," Lu Yurong said coldly. "It's not just you. Even if Fu Mengshan personally intervenes, the Ji Public House will skin him alive!"
Chu Li said, "I didn't send anyone over."
"That's for the best." Lu Yurong's expression softened.
"But I'm preparing to send someone over," Chu Li said.
