Inside the twelve cylinders in front of you are the corpses of successive emperors of the Baiyue Kingdom.

Without exception, all of them are Level 4 ability users.

Li Anping carefully looked at the past one by one, the closer to the modern corpses, the better the preservation, especially the last three, they looked lifelike, as if they were still alive but just sleeping. Obviously, with the development of the times, the technology of preserving corpses has become more and more complete.

Each of these twelve emperors is one of the most powerful top-level ability users in the contemporary era, and has awakened various bloodline abilities. But he still couldn't escape the passage of time, and after death, only a corpse was left for the descendants of the Fang family to admire.

However, when Li Anping looked at the twelve cylinders, his eyes suddenly became fixed. It turned out that there were only eleven corpses of kings in the twelve containers, and a strange thing was stored in one of the containers.

It was a piece of meat that looked like the tail of some kind of creature, floating in a piece of solution. The piece of meat was about one meter long and twenty centimeters in diameter, with a layer of fine black scales on the surface.

"What is this?"

Yelu Mengxiang, who was on the side, saw Li Anping approaching, and explained: "This thing already existed at the beginning of the founding of the Baiyue Kingdom. I don't know if you have heard some gossip, saying that Fang Ziqi, the first emperor of our Baiyue Kingdom, was Only by obtaining the treasures left by Bai Xinghe, the founding emperor of the Great Shang Dynasty two thousand years ago, was able to rise in the troubled times. It created hundreds of years of history in Baiyue."

"Oh? Is it true that this thing is the treasure left by Bai Xinghe?" Li Anping looked at the meat in the container with great interest, but suddenly, a strange sense of hunger came from his heart, as if suddenly The child became hungry.

The piece of meat in front of him also turned into a delicious feast at this moment, and every cell in his body seemed to be shouting and cheering constantly.

"Eat it!"

"Eat it! Eat it! Eat it!"

Li Anping felt as if every cell in his body was longing for the flesh and blood in front of him. There was even a lot of saliva secreted from his throat, which made him unable to help but let out a gurgling sound and swallowed.

Yelu Mengxiang on the side obviously didn't notice Li Anping's abnormality, and continued: "According to the internal records of the royal family, Emperor Taizu did discover a relic of the Shang Dynasty, but it was not a treasure left by Bai Xinghe. It was a treasure left by Bai Xinghe. This piece of flesh and blood was found in the battlefield left by the ancient system of ability users. Besides, there are also some classics of secret martial arts.

But what is the use of this piece of flesh and blood, there is no record in the royal family. We also sent people to study, but did not draw any conclusions. It looked like the tail of some creature, but it was actually a rock.

If it wasn't for the rules set by Emperor Taizu, it must be kept well, and I am afraid that this thing would have been cleared out of the inner treasury long ago. "

"Yeah." Li Anping nodded, suppressed the hunger in his heart, and said calmly: "I want this thing."

Li Anping asked for this thing, and Yelu Mengxiang who was present naturally had no objection. What's more, this thing looks like a waste rock to her, and she doesn't know what use it is. Even if Emperor Taizu ordered them to preserve it properly, don't say that Emperor Taizu has been dead for so many years now, even if he comes back from the dead now, I'm afraid he will have to listen to Li Anping.

Next, the group of three walked to the third-floor inner vault. The remains of the Baiyue emperors in the second-floor inner vault were very important to the Baiyue royal family, but to Li Anping, they were nothing. Except for the stone that caused his hunger, he was not interested in anything else.

Arriving at the gate of the inner vault on the third floor, Yelu Mengxiang sighed and said, "The inner vault on the third floor can only be entered by the emperors of Baiyue. able to go in."

Li Anping didn't speak, but walked forward and touched the huge iron gate in front of him.

The iron door is round and looks like an unknown alloy structure, a bit like the vault door of a bank safe. But bigger than that, thicker.

In fact, not only the door is very strong, but the entire third floor of the inner warehouse is wrapped in nine layers of special alloy with a total thickness of 18 meters, which means that the entire third floor of the inner warehouse is a metal cabinet. If you want to go in first, the only way to go is to open the gate.

"Are the classics of esoteric martial arts inside?" Li Anping asked while touching the door.

Yelu Mengxiang nodded: "The inner library on the third floor is the last floor, which houses all the precious esoteric martial arts that Baiyue has collected since the founding of the country. This is what His Majesty told me before his death. Any prince If you want to practice one of the secret martial arts, you must apply to His Majesty three months in advance.

However, because of the emergence of fifth-level ability users, and because the esoteric martial arts in the inner library are too advanced, the qualification requirements for practitioners are also very high, so fewer and fewer people apply. In the past ten years or so, almost No one has applied.

And even if you want to practice the abilities of the ancient department, there are many sects in Baiyue Kingdom that have inherited secret martial arts. The secret martial arts in these sects not only have low requirements, but also have masters to guide them. Even if most members of the royal family want to practice, they will not Consider the tomes stored in the inner vault.

The third floor of the inner library has not been opened for a long time. "Your Majesty in Yelu Mengxiang's mouth obviously refers to the Qilin King.

Li Anping nodded upon hearing this. So far, no fifth-level ability user has been cultivated in the ancient system ability. In addition, the qualification requirements are high, and the cultivation takes a lot of time and energy. It has always been looked down upon by the ability users of the other five major systems.

In addition, cheat books are controlled by high-level government officials and will not be open to ordinary people to practice. Even if it is open to ordinary people to practice, there are not many people who can practice because of their aptitude.

For these reasons, the overall strength of ancient-type ability users has always been much weaker than that of the other five major-type ability users.

However, Li Anping still attached great importance to these classics. Just because Baiyue Kingdom doesn't have the guts to open up to these classics doesn't mean he doesn't.

Other organizations feel that this kind of classics is difficult to scale and mass-produce because of the requirements for the qualifications of practitioners, and it is better to study modern weapons. But Li Anping still wanted to give it a try. He felt that there was always a solution to these technical problems. For example, his own immortal body is the best experimental material.

There are also countless clones of the Eighth Research Institute, which are also good materials for practicing these secret martial arts.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Anping's mouth: "Take a few steps back."

Yelu Mengxiang and Fang Yuelin obviously guessed what the other party was going to do, and they didn't have the guts to dissuade them, so they could only retreat quickly to avoid being accidentally injured by Li Anping.

Seeing that they had retreated far enough, Li Anping raised his right fist.

Black thoughts began to gather towards his palm. Like pitch-black, viscous ink, his entire fist was wrapped.

The door in front of him was very thick, but Li Anping felt that he could break through it. The only problem is that he must control his strength so as not to damage the classics in the inner library.

Carefully controlling his strength, Li Anping lightly extended his right fist and smashed it on the door of the inner vault.

Although it looked like Li Anping just punched lightly, the result was terrible.

There was a loud bang from the entire gate, and then the entire gate deformed and continued to sink. The hoarse and disgusting sound of metal friction came from the gate, which disturbed Yelu Mengxiang and Fang Yuelin who were standing hundreds of meters away.

When the loud noise stopped, the entire metal gate had been completely deformed, and it was sunken inward by almost two meters, but there was still no gap leading to the inside.

This surprised Li Anping.

"Did you use too little power?"

Thinking of this, Li Anping cautiously raised his fist again, the fist was filled with black thoughts, and hit the sunken metal door like a heavy hammer.

There was another bang, this time it was shorter and sharper than the previous blow.

When Li Anping withdrew his right fist, the entire metal door slowly and completely broke away from the door frame, receding inwards, even the door frame couldn't stand the tearing of Li Anping's huge force, and the whole door split open.

The passage leading to the third floor of the inner warehouse was just opened in front of Li Anping.
