Another heavenly book...
Could this be the opportunity that Qinglong mentioned
Lu Bei was silent and pondered.
Prince Yan Jiang Suxin is the tomb keeper Xuanwu, and his superior is the Empress Yinglong. The traitor Qinglong receives the tomb keeper's salary, and also has a stable job in the Holy Land of Daxia, and obeys the orders of Emperor Yu Ji.
Therefore, the opportunity mentioned by Qinglong should not be taken seriously. He was thrown to Zhaoqin and specifically mentioned Tianzi Mountain where the Imperial Observatory's lair was located. It was most likely that he was sent here to stir up trouble.
Lu Bei was very curious. Why did Qinglong think he would stand with the royal family
Aren't you afraid that this will be a waste of time and will only end up shooting yourself in the foot, making the already disadvantaged royal family even worse off
There is no reason!
Prince Yan Jiang Suxin is extremely charismatic and his contribution to Zhao Qin is unparalleled. Even the Mahayana monks from the opposing camp respect him very much.
If he had not met Tianmingzi at first and then missed Senior Sister Shao, and went straight to Tianzi Mountain as his first stop, Lu Bei thought that there was an 80% chance that he would stand on Prince Yan's side.
Besides, he is not qualified to be a troublemaker.
Before he learned the "Unity of Nature and Man", his strength was neither good nor bad, and he had to give his all to defeat Yan Xiaoshuang.
Without using the trump card of the Ten-Eyed Demon and taking a few sips of aged milk, he would never be a match for Prince Xin and God Willow, not to mention Prince Yan who has been invincible for a thousand years and has been suppressing Zhao Qin.
To be fair, Lu Bei thinks that he is a troublemaker who can only smooth things over. He can handle those who are dragging their feet, but he will never be able to deal with tough people.
There is too much resistance.
Lu Bei weighed it for a moment. At that time, he was at most like Quhe and Mengyuan, who could change the situation but not the overall situation. No matter which side he stood on, he was not qualified to step into the final battlefield, let alone decide the future of Zhaoqin.
Eliminate all wrong answers and there is only one answer you really want.
Qinglong asked him to come to Zhaoqin in order to kill him!
The motive is not difficult to guess. The last time the two had a friendly meeting, his murderous aura caused Qinglong's displeasure, and he thought that Beisheng was a rebellious person with a wolf-like and arrogant look. If he was not eradicated as soon as possible, great trouble would be caused.
"How hateful! How could they be so vicious!"
Lu Bei cursed angrily, saying that Pingban was narrow-minded and would not let this matter go.
Jiang Li came over after hearing the voice, glanced at the wordless heavenly book in Lu Bei's hand, frowned and said, "Why is Sect Master Lu angry? Can you tell me a little bit?"
"It's okay. This sect leader is talking about Jiang Suxin. He used secret techniques to manipulate a good Taoist book. No one can understand it except a blind man. Isn't it infuriating?" Lu Bei said angrily.
Jiang Li's eyelids jumped, angry that Lu Bei had ulterior motives and was targeting Jiang Suxin everywhere.
He waved his hand, took the wordless book, and stared at it for a long time.
I didn't understand, but this didn't affect Jiang Li's attitude. He still said the same thing, Lu Bei was deliberately finding fault, and there was some personal grudge between them.
In Jiang Li's eyes, the Wordless Heavenly Book is a book that cannot be more ordinary. The absence of words is not a Taoist secret, but there were no words from the beginning.
I lost interest after taking a few glances.
Lu Bei was delighted to get the Heavenly Book, but was struggling over whether or not to learn it.
Glancing at the inventory, 78,000 skill points is not impossible.
Moreover, I just made a good harvest. I found forty books on life skills in the sea of books. If I open a secondary profession, 30,000 skill points will be a piece of cake.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and made a decision immediately.
Just leave it alone and wait and see.
It was noon and four people were walking back and forth in the study.
Jiang Suxin has a large collection of books, ranging from books on farming and animal husbandry to historical books and travel notes, and even works by ancient sages. His study is fully equipped with everything.
Jiang Li and the two palace masters were all knowledgeable people, and they swam freely in the sea of books. They saw Jiang Suxin writing notes, sometimes frowning and thinking hard, sometimes nodding and smiling, and they all gained a lot.
Lu Bei was a rough man, and he was very vulgar. He was only interested in practicing martial arts. He searched all over the study, ignoring the highbrow and lowbrow things, and achieved the goal of shopping in the supermarket at the fastest speed.
Of course, it is not absolute. For example, the high-brow art works such as erotic paintings were regarded as treasures by him, who was sworn enemies of gambling and drugs, and he collected them carefully.
"This sect master has read a lot of books today."
Lu Bei clapped his hands in satisfaction. After scanning the library, the next step was to look for the secret compartment.
He placed his hands on the ground, and the strange force penetrated into the bricks and walls. While closing his eyes to resonate, he sensed the information coming back from the force.
Soon, he found a dark room.
The two palace masters broke the formation, and Jiang Li stood by Lu Bei with eyes wide open.
It has nothing to do with Jiang Suxin. Tianzi Mountain is the headquarters of the Imperial Observatory. He did this to prevent the country's important treasures from being lost overseas, which is righteous.
Lu Bei ignored him and touched several bookshelves. There were records of the cultivation methods of Buddhism, Taoism, magic, and even the monsters.
Among them is the Secret Records of the Six Heavenly Demon King, a magic technique that can control demonic energy and keep one's mind clear.
Lu Bei was not interested in this and stopped in front of the wall to admire two paintings.
One is an authentic work by King Yan Jiang Suxin.
The scroll is ten meters long and three meters wide, depicting a beautiful landscape of mountains and rivers, abundant harvests and thriving livestock, worldly affairs, and ravines in the human world... All kinds of life are sketched in one stroke, and there is also an inscription by Jiang Suxin: "Guiding the Common People".
Even a rough man like Lu Bei knew that this painting was a priceless treasure with extremely high artistic attainments. If he sold it to a knowledgeable collector, he could afford to raise two more wings.
Touch it and the system will prompt you that the Dian Cang Yin method can be learned with 30,000 skill points.
Wow, it’s more valuable!
Lu Bei smiled happily and raised his hand to put it in his pocket.
He had no intention of practicing the Dian Cang Seal, and the reason was Jiang Suxin.
The Dian Cang Seal is a martial art that Jiang Suxin has tailored for her based on what she has learned throughout her life. It requires both academic background, aptitude, and understanding. Apart from Jiang Suxin herself, others can only learn the basics.
He doesn't have Prince Yan's fate, but he learned Prince Yan's martial arts and made himself uncomfortable.
Instead of wasting 30,000 points, it is better to open a blind box and learn a fragment of the heavenly book. If you are lucky, it will really produce an SSR.
Uh, it should be out.
"Sect Master Lu?!"
Jiang Li stood in front of Lu Beihe's calligraphy and painting, his eyes red as he said, "There are many treasures in the library. You can take other things, but not this one."
To be honest with you, I have already taken the others!
Lu Bei raised his eyebrows, clenched his fist and coughed lightly.
Immediately, the guardians on both sides came over, and the two beautiful palace masters looked at Jiang Li expressionlessly, giving him a chance to reorganize his words.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? My throat is uncomfortable. Looking at you, if you don't know, you would think I am trying to rob you!"
Lu Bei scolded him, then smiled and said, "Your family education is not strict. Prince Xin, please forgive me for making fun of you. I didn't hear what you just said. Please say it again louder."
As he spoke, his hands suddenly itched and he couldn't help but clench his fists.
Jiang Li was unmoved and said, "This painting is the most precious treasure of Zhao Qin and must not be lost. If Sect Master Lu is interested in the magical power of the Dian Cang Seal, I can give you eight volumes of the book..."
Jiang Li was so excited that he spoke very quickly.
Lu Bei understood what he meant because he was faster. The Dian Cang Seal technique was widely circulated in the Imperial Observatory. The threshold was not high. Anyone at the Seven Killing Order level could practice it. Those at the Three Heavens Seal level could get personal instruction from Jiang Suxin. It was not a secret at all.
The royal family, because of the spies planted in the Imperial Observatory, also conducted in-depth research on the Dian Cang Seal.
If Lu Bei wanted, Jiang Li was willing to provide the complete set of skills and annotations of cultivation experience free of charge, and only asked him to spare the original version and let Jiang Suxin's works remain in Zhaoqin.
“Prince Xin has misunderstood. This patriarch has never intended to let Zhao Qin’s national treasures be lost abroad.” Lu Bei was moved when he heard this and explained seriously.
Jiang Li was a little confused: "Forgive me for my stupidity, what Sect Master Lu meant is..."
"This sect leader took the painting away and sold it to a local cultivator in Zhaoqin at a high price. I got the money and Zhaoqin kept the national treasure. It was the best of both worlds and everyone made money. Isn't it wonderful!" Lu Bei said with a smile.
Jiang Li widened his eyes, swallowed the sweet blood stuck in his throat, and said tremblingly: "Master Lu, please don't tease me. You have to abandon the inheritance of the sutra. How can a favored son of heaven who is sought after by everyone lack..."
"lack!"
Lu Bei bit the bullet and hugged her slender waist: "Prince Xin has seen it too. It's not easy for me to support my family. If I didn't have money, they would have abandoned me long ago."
Jiang Li: “…”
Looking at the skilled posture of hugging women on both sides, it is conceivable that Lu Bei has someone else outside.
"Prince Xin, if you have no objection, the Sect Master will take the painting away. On an auspicious day at the beginning of next month, the Sect Master will hold an auction in Qingshan Ancient City. The highest bidder..."
"I bought it!"
"That's great. I'll sell you."
Lu Bei slapped Jiang Li on the shoulder, then turned to ask the two beautiful palace masters what price Jiang Suxin's original work could be sold for.
The two palace masters pondered, analyzed the artistic attainments, the magical value of the Dian Cang Seal, the historical background of the calligraphy and painting, and combined with Prince Yan's influence in Zhao Qin, they both gave a conservative price.
Yan Xiaoshuang had just been branded by Lu Bei and had not been led astray. She was still a serious cultivator, so the price offered was not high, about twice the market price.
Han Miaojun had an evil side to begin with, and without Lu Bei's careful cultivation and training, she was still a bad woman. She raised the price arbitrarily and gave a conservative price that was five times the market price.
"You guys are still too conservative."
Lu Bei shook his head, looked at the big enemy happily, added up the quotes given by the two palace masters, and then doubled it.
"… "
"Prince Xin, please speak."
"My little prince is short of money..."
"Then there's nothing to discuss!"
"No, no, there is something to discuss. Xiao Wang still needs to prepare something."
Jiang Li raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead. Lu Bei's offer included not only secular currency, but also various resources needed to transcend tribulation and practice Mahayana cultivation. He simply couldn't get them together in a short time.
"hehe."
As Jiang Li looked grief-stricken over the death of Jiang Suxin, Lu Bei took the calligraphy and painting and put it away, saying that the money must be paid and the goods must be picked up within five days, otherwise he would hold an auction and sell the original painting of Jiang Suxin to Zuo Ziyue of the Holy Land for ten taels of silver.
This is the rhythm that makes Emperor Ji very happy!
Jiang Li felt heartbroken. Although they were allies, it was more painful to see Emperor Ji getting the advantage than to see Zhao Qin suffering a great loss.
I don’t want to think about anything else. I’ll go back and raise money.
"Prince Xin, this calligraphy... I accept it with pleasure. Do you have any objections?"
Lu Bei pointed to the last painting, an ordinary ink painting of yin and yang. The misty twin fish looked like swimming dragons, and the word "炁" was written in the blank space.
Jiang Li frowned and looked at it. The room was full of treasures, but there was only the authentic manuscript of Dian Cang Seal placed side by side with this picture, which showed that this item was definitely not an ordinary item.
Plus it’s Jiang Suxin’s treasure…
But what could he do? Lu Bei had already given him face. He could have just snatched the thing and run away, but he still asked for his opinion before doing so.
Forget it, it’s not Jiang Suxin’s authentic work anyway.
Jiang Li thought with a grim look on his face, and nodded heavily: "This item is destined to be with Sect Master Lu. I am daring to make the decision, you can take it."
"I believe that Your Majesty is magnanimous. It would be disrespectful for this clan leader to refuse."
Lu Bei raised his hand and touched the ink-and-wash Yin-Yang diagram, and another reminder came to his mind:
[You have come into contact with the Yin-Yang Fu of Yuanshi Shangqi. Do you want to spend 30,000 skill points to learn it?]
