Under the warm autumn sun, the handsome scholar lazily reclined on a stone bench. His magnetic voice reverberated in the small courtyard. A story named "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" had been changed and its background had been reset. This was the first time that it had appeared in this world.
"Five Ultimate Skills … Hua Mountain Sword Competition … Nine Yin Manual …"
As he continued to tell the story, the beautiful girl opposite him had an indifferent expression at first. After a while, her expression gradually changed, and she involuntarily fell into the wonderful story.
She had been practicing martial arts since she was a child and had always been interested in the martial arts world. However, growing up in the village, she did not have the chance to come into contact with these things. She only heard a few words from other people, and she felt that the so-called Jianghu was nothing more than this …
But at this moment, a real Jianghu that matched her expectations was taking shape in her mind and gradually spreading out …
At a certain moment, another baby-faced girl walked out of the room and looked at them from afar. She murmured in a low voice, "Young Master and Second Miss … what are they talking about …" A puzzled expression appeared on her pretty face, and she walked over curiously.
…
…
After a long period of training, Li Yi's storytelling skills had been perfected. If he could no longer make a living in the future, other than moving a table to sell paintings on the street, he could also consider going to a theater to tell stories. Unknowingly, he had another way to make a living.
In the Jianghu, it was not a burden to have more skills. Even Liu Ruyi, an otherworldly woman, could be attracted by him. She was attracted by the stories of Old Master Jin, and this made his self-confidence a little inflated.
Although Li Yi did not produce stories, and he was only a storyteller, who knew?
Liu Ruyi had never heard of those exquisite martial arts, the martial arts gangs that she had never heard of, and even the names of the top masters in the stories.
Although the previous dynasty was decades ago, it was not like Liu Ruyi did not understand it. The situation of the world back then was different from what Li Yi had revealed. If that was the case, he had fabricated everything out of thin air?
However, even though he clearly knew nothing about martial arts, some of his deductions had clearly reached a very profound realm. It even made her feel enlightened. Occasionally, she was enlightened, and her martial arts cultivation even showed signs of advancing to the next level.
"That's all for today. When are you going to teach me martial arts?" The Legend of the Condor Heroes wasn't something that could be finished in a day. Even if he could read the original version in his mind, he would get bored after a long time.
"Let's talk about this in a few days." Although Ruyi was still very curious about the development of the story, the most important thing at the moment was to digest those insights. He waved his hand at Li Yi impatiently and hurried back to his room.
"You …"
Li Yi looked at her back in a daze. She left after listening to the story. Didn't she say that she was willing to admit defeat?
Burning the bridge after crossing the river, getting rid of the donkey when it was no longer of use. What kind of people were these?
In the end, Liu Ruyi did not leave Li Yi alone. She casually threw him a book about the basics of martial arts and let him practice by himself.
Having such an irresponsible sister-in-law, Li Yi couldn't do anything about it. Fortunately, he could absorb the books in the real world into his mind. After absorbing this basic martial art, he could quickly master the moves inside. However, it was just the form and nothing more.
The might of these moves could only be revealed when paired with a unique mental cultivation method. Furthermore, it required vigorous inner energy as a foundation. Only having moves but no inner energy in one's body could only be regarded as a superficial display. If one encountered a slightly more powerful opponent, this little bit of skill would not be enough.
Unfortunately, the cultivation of inner Qi could not be achieved overnight. It could only be accumulated over a long period of time and slowly increased. This made Li Yi's dream of becoming a top master in a short period of time become a bubble.
Even so, his learning ability still shocked Liu Ruyi.
She still remembered that it took her a whole month to completely master these basic moves. On the other hand, Li Yi only used less than a day. In terms of the degree of control, he seemed to be more skillful than she was at that time …
The difference between a day and a month was like the difference between heaven and earth.
This made Liu Ruyi suffer a huge blow. She could not help but have some doubts in her heart. Could it be that he was really a martial arts genius that appeared once in a century?
In terms of poetry and painting, she was definitely not as good as Li Yi. However, Li Yi did not know martial arts. This was one of the few things that Liu Ruyi could find confidence in from him …
But now, she did not even have this confidence anymore.
If Li Yi knew what Liu Ruyi was thinking, he would probably be very proud. However, he could not be proud at this moment.
There was no other reason. Since the beginning of autumn, the number of mosquitoes in the room had increased.
Unless he kept hiding in the gauze curtains, his exposed skin would be bitten into big bumps after a while.
It was not a big deal to be bitten by mosquitoes. It was not that Li Yi had not been bitten by mosquitoes before. However, he did not know the physique of this body that he had transmigrated to. When others were bitten, there would at most be a small red dot or a small bump. However, when Li Yi was bitten, there would immediately be a big bump on that area. It was extremely itchy and unbearable.
In the evening, he did not dare to step into the room anymore.
He sat on a stone not far from the door. Because of the wind outside, there were no mosquitoes.
In this backward era, mosquito-repellent incense had not been invented yet. The most common way to repel mosquitoes was to hang a sachet in the room. The sachet was filled with mosquito repellent herbs such as agastache, peppermint, basil, calamus, citronella, and so on.
Li Yi had also tried this method, but the effect was not obvious. Moreover, Li Yi himself could not stand the smell.
He was afraid that before the mosquitoes were smoked away, Li Yi himself would be suffocated to death.
"If only there was a bottle of 'Six Gods Floral Water'!" At this moment, Li Yi missed the mosquito repellent artifact from his previous life.
People always know how to cherish things after they have lost them. A box of mosquito-repellent incense and a bottle of floral water could help him get out of the sea of suffering, but this small request could only be extravagant hope.
"By the way, if there is no ready-made one, I can make it myself!" After a while, Li Yi patted his head and said in sudden realization.
His head was filled with books from the entire provincial library. Would he be afraid of not being able to find the formula for the mosquito repellent?
"Chemistry … Lifestyle …"
The next moment, Li Yi's consciousness sank into his mind. His eyes swept across the rows of bookshelves, and pieces of messy information poured into his mind.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Yi suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Found it!"
It was also at this moment that the sound of footsteps came into his ears.
When he raised his head, he saw Fang's familiar face.
"What's wrong? Were you beaten by your wife again?" Seeing the unconcealable sadness on Fang's face, Li Yi temporarily forgot about the mosquito repellent and asked.
