CHAPTER 1 - PREFACE

You're here? At the edge of the lake, the old man quietly went fishing. He never turned his head back, but he knew who it was. It was as if he had eyes on the back of his head.

Three years. He was about sixteen years old, and when he walked here, he raised his head, looking at the old man's back: "Three years ago, I was thirteen, and I had no memory at all. You brought me back to Red Star Academy and told me to work hard at cultivating, and at the age of fifteen, I was formed from a Qi Sea.

The old man opened his eyes slightly. Did you succeed?

The youth shook his head, his eyes dim. I failed. Every time I tried to break through the technique, a mysterious power would appear on the black mark on my left arm. It would either stop me or make me lose consciousness.

The old man paused, then asked, And then?

I saw a nightmare, a black fire, corpses floating all over the place, blood flowing like rivers. The youth opened his eyes as he spoke in a heavy tone. Subconsciously, he clenched his hands and asked, Is that my hometown?

The old man didn't say anything. He silently raised his head, but his muddy eyes had a change.

The youth's breathing quickened as he stared at the old man's back. With a heavy voice, he asked, Is it Mount Daliang?

Three years ago, Mount Daliang, which was known as the home of Devil God, had experienced a large black flame which had burned for an entire three months.

At that time, this matter had nearly shocked the entire Gods and Devils Continent.

However, for some reason, the incident began to fade two years ago. It was as if a pair of hands had imperceptibly held down all of this.

The youngster was depressed and silently turned around. I understand.

Three years ago, he had already come to a conjecture from the Mount Daliang three years ago and he was only here today to seek confirmation.

The Red Star Academy was very big, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, and there were less than a thousand students in the academy.

In this academy, where only a small number of people lived in, almost every teacher had a small courtyard.

Although Li Yi wasn't a teacher, he was a rarity. There were clear rules in the academy stating that a charm magician could own a small courtyard.

Li Yi's courtyard was located on the furthest left side of the academy. Here, with the broken mountain at his back, there was a river behind the broken mountain.

When Li Yi returned, he saw a group of people gathered there. They were not very old, about seven or eight of them.

Li Yi is back. It was unknown who shouted, but everyone turned around.

You are Li Yi? A young man with beautiful clothes, with an ordinary appearance and a sword on his back, walked in front of Li Yi and asked indifferently.

You are? Li Yi frowned, he did not know this person, but he could sense that he was hostile towards him.

My name is Lin Wufeng. Lin Xiaofeng of the Second Department is my elder brother. I've come here today to find you for a matter. His tone was calm, his gaze swept across Li Yi, looking at his ordinary clothes, and his faded boots, he felt disdain in his heart, thinking, maybe this is a commoner mentioned by his brother?

Li Yi paused, What is it?

Lin Wu Feng took out five thick bags, casually threw them at Li Yi's feet and said: My brother just opened his mind, and needs a peaceful place to stabilize his cultivation, your place is not too bad, these five hundred crystals are the money I bought.

Five hundred crystals.

This was a huge amount of wealth!

An ordinary person might not even have one for most of their life. Honestly speaking, Li Yi was very tempted, but he did not say anything.

He came to the Red Star Academy at the age of thirteen, and became a half-dead Talisman Master at the age of fourteen. In the end, the academy planned this courtyard for him.

Over the years, countless people had coveted this courtyard, but up until now, no one had been able to snatch it away.

It was not to say how strong Li Yi was, but the person Principal standing behind him.

The courtyard is mine, I'm not selling it. Li Yi muttered to himself for a long time, raised his head and spat out these words, which signified his determination.

Oh? Lin Wu Feng was startled, he narrowed his eyes, as though he did not expect Li Yi to actually reject him, could it be that he was not clear about his own situation?

Inside the Red Star Academy, there was a rule: Anyone who entered the school for three years and didn't have a cultivation realm of seven chakras would be forced to withdraw from the school, and not be allowed to cultivate within the Red Star Academy.

And if you counted the time that Li Yi had spent in the academy, it seemed to be three years, right? It was precisely because of this that his elder brother had allowed him to come here so that the courtyard wouldn't be taken away by others.

In other words, Lin Wu Feng was giving money to Li Yi! After all, if he was ordered to leave school, this courtyard would no longer belong to him.

But why did he refuse?

"When you came to the Red Star Academy at the age of thirteen, you had never opened your eyes even at the age of sixteen, so you were transferred to a Talisman Dao in the end. Lin Wu Feng said, he thought that Li Yi did not know, so he gave him a reminder.

I know. Li Yi looked at him with a stubborn expression: But there's still a few months until three years of time. So, this courtyard is still mine.

Lin Wufeng did not say anything, but his expression turned cold.

If Li Yi agreed to transfer the rights of ownership to them now, when Li Yi was ordered to quit school, they could still use their own names and spend some money to extend the rights of ownership in this courtyard.

But if Li Yi disagreed, once he was ordered to withdraw, the right to own the courtyard would return to the academy, and at that time, it would be very difficult for them to obtain this courtyard.

Li Yi remained calm: Is there anything else?

Lin Wu Feng smirked, his tone cold as he said: You are no longer capable of enlightenment, you are no longer capable of becoming a cultivator, and you are being ordered to withdraw from school. Why don't you take these 500 crystals and lead a good life?

Li Yi looked at him, and subconsciously clenched his hands tightly: I still have time, why should I give up?

Five months? Three months? Lin Wu Feng smiled coldly, with ridicule and disdain: You want to breakthrough to seven innately in a few short months? You think you're a genius?

Breaking through to the seventh chakra in three to five months was a myth that only a few people in the history of Red Star Academy could achieve.

Lin Wu Feng did not think that Li Yi could do that. He just thought that Li Yi was too stupid, if it was him, he would definitely take the five hundred crystals and silently leave the Academy.

It would not only be embarrassing to wait for the day when he was ordered to withdraw from school.

How about this! Leave five hundred crystals here for now. I will give you one day to think it over. Lin Wu Feng coldly swept his gaze across him, his eyes full of ridicule, as though he was ridiculing Li Yi for overestimating his strength and foolishness.

Think about it carefully.

Senior-apprentice Brother Lin is doing this for your own good.

500 crystals is a huge amount of money! Enough for you to live a long time. "

Hehe! The few of them said as they walked past Li Yi one by one, stepping on the five bags that were filled with crystals without restraint.

Li Yi remained indifferent, swept through the five bags of crystals on the ground and turned to leave.

If he really picked it up, it would be a matter of dignity. Someone once told him that a man's dignity was priceless.

Senior apprentice-brother. The voice of a woman came from behind him. It was clear and pleasant, but it carried an indescribable helplessness: "You have already broken through from the First Stage to become a true Talisman Master. According to the academy's rules, the Talisman Dao branch only needs to step into the First Stage.

Li Yi paused in his steps, turned his face to the side, and looked at the delicate and pretty girl.

Actually, the Talisman Dao branch is also very powerful. It's just that they're a bit expensive. Wen Yuqing sighed softly, her eyes rippled with a faint sense of worry.

The meaning behind his words was very clear. Even though Li Yi was unable to enlighten himself, relying on his status as a Talisman Master of the first step, he could still stay in the academy to cultivate.

What she was worried about was that Li Yi would not register, so no one would know about his identity as a Talisman Master of the first step.

Wen Yuqing didn't understand why. One must know that the identity as a Talisman Master of the first step was not only capable of allowing him to stay in the academy to cultivate.

Li Yi laughed: Have you eaten?

Wen Yuqing obediently nodded her head: I'll eat it.

CHAPTER 2 - OPENING THE KNACK

The courtyard was not very big, and because it was located in a remote area, it was very quiet, and most people would not come here, other than Wen Yuqing.

The room was simple and crude. There was a simple wooden bed, folded bedding, a faded wooden table, and a few old stools. Although they were simple and crude, they were still very clean.

On the faded table, there were ten sets of Talisman Paper s. A few of them were rotten, while the others were still blank, while the rest had been turned into talismans by Li Yi.

Wen Yuqing casually picked up a talisman, his face congealed: Senior Brother, did you draw this talisman?

The talisman was not big and was only palm-sized. The paper was withered and yellow, but the talisman drawn on it was shocking. As he held it in his hand, he could actually feel traces of a murderous aura.

This was not a simple talisman.

Li Yi laughed: Yes!

Wen Yuqing's expression became serious: How did you do that? A talisman filled with killing intent, this was definitely not something an ordinary Talisman Master could do.

Li Yi thought for a while, then said: It was drawn with my left hand.

She called out, Senior Brother!

What?

Don't use your left hand to draw paper charms anymore. Wen Yuqing warned him seriously, The devilish energy in your left hand is too strong, the talismans you drew contained killing intent, if people knew about it! She hesitated.

Li Yi looked at her and sighed softly, So what if I know?

Three years ago, he had the Mount Daliang, and possessed the devilish arm. If all of these were linked together, not only would he be in danger, he might even die because of it.

He was very clear on this point, so he had been trying his best to conceal himself.

Senior Brother, my friend returned from his hometown and brought me a few Talisman Paper. As you know, I'm not a Talisman Master, so these Talisman Paper will be yours! Wen Yuqing took out a few new Talisman Paper s and looked at them with his big eyes.

Li Yi did not speak anymore, and did not accept the Talisman Paper. She silently looked at her, as if she wanted to see something under her pretty face.

Hey, hey, do you want it? She opened her eyes wide and quickly covered up her panic. The Talisman Paper was not brought by her friend, but something she had saved up and bought.

Yes. Li Yi was very solemn. He received the Talisman Paper and the latter heaved a sigh of relief. He then said: One day, I will be invincible, and protect you.

Wen Yuqing's body shook, her heart rippled, and then, as if she remembered something, she let out a faint sigh, and without even bidding her farewell, she turned and left.

I may never see you again.

Wen Yuqing staggered, her eyes were red, her chest was heaving and suffocating, her figure walked further and further away, and finally she disappeared from here.

I will also cure your illness. She thought he didn't know, but he knew everything.

The courtyard became quiet once more.

Li Yi sat in front of the wooden table, grabbed a brush on the ink stone, and started drawing talismans. He wanted to draw the strongest talisman, to become an unrivalled Talisman Master.

Of course, before that, he would first have to open up the trick and step into cultivation.

The sky was darkening, the night was falling, and the last of the twilight had disappeared over the horizon.

Li Yi sat on the wooden bed with his legs crossed, meditating and comprehending the essence energy from the ten directions, condensing them, and finally used his essence energy to attack the nine veins of the Qi Sea. The nine lines were extremely dim, but because of the arrival of the essence energy, they released completely, as if they were alive.

To have the gist of it, this was something that Li Yi had been working hard for the past eight months.

After a long time, the nine chakras became intertwined with his Qi, forming a sword of light, slashing into the void of his Qi Sea. After a long while, the nine chakras became intertwined with his Qi, forming a sword of light, slashing towards the void of his Qi Sea.

Again and again.

Who knew how many times the light sword had slashed at the metal door, but it still could not shake.

Right at this moment, a sharp pain came from his left arm. Immediately after, an ancient, ancient and Feng Chen's aura reverberated within Li Yi's body.

That astonishing aura seeped into every inch of Li Yi's skin, flesh, blood, and bones. It seemed to be cleansing his flesh, polishing his cultivation.

BOOM!

Li Yi had lost control of his body, and it was as if his consciousness and soul was being pulled out.

There was no light in this place. There was no life. Instead, there was only a bone-piercing coldness. It was as if one was in the depths of hell.

It was here again, except this time he did not see the great disaster erupting.

Li Yi sighed lightly. Every time he tried to break through the trick, the black imprint on his left arm would recover and bring him here.

After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to clarify everything. Perhaps, what secrets were hidden in this empty world? And this secret was related to him?

Forget it!

Li Yi began to move forward, passing through many heavy mountains and dried up rivers. He walked for a very long time, and finally, he was tired.

Li Yi seemed to have sensed something, as he spread his hands to take a look, only to see a pair of withered and yellow wrinkled hands.

Old?

His pupils abruptly dilated. He no longer proceeded forward, and was instead dumbstruck.

How long had he been gone? Three days? Ten days? Half a month? That's not right! How could it be that after so many years, there was actually an aura of ancientness in his heart?

Li Yi's pupils constricted as he looked back. He did not know when, but an enormous sword had suddenly appeared behind him. The sword was pitch black and incomparably huge. It looked like a peerless sword that was about to be unsheathed.

Juque!

The two big words unwittingly surfaced in Li Yi's heart, he felt a sense of familiarity.

When he raised his head, he saw a towering figure towering in the skies. His heroic demeanor made him seem like an ancient deity, as he tightly gripped that gigantic black sword in his hand, slashing through all the illusions and even the mountains and rivers on the ground.

Who is he?

So powerful.

Li Yi's heart trembled. That blurry image, that unintentional moment, allowed him to accurately capture that sword strike.

He closed his eyes and the image of the sword appeared in his mind once more. He pointed with his right hand and a sword appeared.

BOOM!

The moment his right hand transformed into a sword and slashed out, among the Qi Sea, nine lines condensed into a light sword vein, also fell on the metal door.

An astonishing burst of power exploded forth. It was as if Mount Tai, which weighed a million pounds, was pressing down on the metal door. After a thunderous sound, the metal door was actually split open.

Boundless essence energy gathered and gathered in the dilapidated metal door, lingering for a long time.

He had succeeded, he had been enlightened, and he had finally become a cultivator.

However, he did not know about this news. His consciousness and soul were still in that dark world, and he was in the midst of comprehending that world shocking sword strike.

After an unknown amount of time, when his right hand congealed and slashed out strands of Sword Intent, he finally woke up.

Then, he seemed to have sensed something and his body shuddered, revealing a shocked expression.

Among his Qi Sea, there was a blurry light spot. The light spot had a hidden, majestic Qi hidden within, which was extremely shocking. This was the trick, only cultivators who had truly learned the trick could store Qi.

And he succeeded.

Li Yi could not hold back his excitement as he smiled brilliantly. It had been three years, and his talent was dull.

He was the only one who knew how difficult the journey had been!

CHAPTER 3 - NO TALISMAN

Early in the morning, the golden sunlight broke through the crack of dawn and shone through the gap in the door.

Li Yi woke up. He was in a good mood today, so he prepared to eat breakfast before heading to the Compendium Pavilion to learn more about the history of Mount Daliang.

But when Li Yi pushed open the door, he saw a group of youths.

Lin Wu Feng led the way, with seven to eight youths following behind him. Below their feet, the five bags of bulging crystals were still there, like a pile of trash on the roadside that nobody cared about.

Seeing Li Yi, Lin Wu Feng smirked and looked down at Li Yi: Senior Brother Li, have you considered it?

Li Yi raised his head, and spoke with an indifferent tone of voice: The courtyard is mine, you can leave now.

Yesterday, he had never opened it. His tone lacked a sense of confidence, but now it was different.

Lin Wufeng's eyes turned cold, but he did not say anything.

Behind him, seven to eight youths laughed as they looked at Li Yi, as if they could see him being beaten up and begging for mercy in a pool of blood.

Even though they couldn't kill people in the academy, they should still be able to do so, right?

In addition, the clan backing him, Lin Wu Feng, had to cripple a commoner who was about to be ordered to withdraw from school within the Shang Kingdom.

For a time, the atmosphere of the scene turned cold.

Lin Wufeng strode forward with a sword on his back and a solemn expression on his face. It was as if he had returned from the Shura Battlefield. The other youths followed closely behind him.

Li Yi swept his gaze across them, his eyes turning cold. You want to make a move against me in the academy?

500 crystals is enough for you to live for a long time. I don't understand why you would reject it. However, it doesn't matter. After crippling you and crippling your Qi Sea, you can live an ordinary life with peace of mind. Lin Wufeng coldly stated, his eyes filled with a sinister light.

Cripple my Qi Sea?

Li Yi was cold and detached. In these past few years, there had been many people who attacked him, and some of them even opened their mouths, saying that they wanted to cripple his cultivation.

However, even now, he was still alive and well.

Li Yi firmly believed that even if he had not comprehended it, just with the power of drawing talismans on his first stage Talisman Master and his left arm, he would still be able to fight against an enlightened cultivator.

Senior-apprentice Brother Lin, don't worry. Let little brother teach him a lesson first. A youth with an excited expression volunteered himself. If one were to take a closer look, among the Qi Sea in his body, there were eight faint veins intersecting. When they exploded, it would be an astonishing power.

After all, he was a freshman! He had just enrolled into the academy three months ago, yet he had already condensed seven to eight pulse lines. He was truly incredible.

Don't kill him. Lin Wu Feng sneered, in his opinion, the Talisman Dao bloodline had declined, the inheritance had been cut off, how many people in the world were powerful?

Let alone a poor teenager like Li Yi, to cultivate a talisman, one would need a huge amount of money.

As a result, he firmly believed that with this young man's strength and abilities, defeating Li Yi would be a piece of cake.

The youth nodded and grinned. He immediately took large strides to suppress his body, clenching his fists left and right. His fists were full of vigor, and contained incomparable imposing auras.

This was a person who was walking on the road of Martial Cultivator.

The reason why he pressed himself onto Li Yi at the first moment was to defeat Li Yi in a single blow, so that he wouldn't even have the chance to use his talisman.

However, his thoughts were wrong. If he had fought near the Talisman Master in the beginning, unless you had the ability to kill or defeat them in one strike, you would be courting death.

This is because the time taken for Talisman Master to bring out the talisman is faster than any martial skill or ability you can use.

Seeing the young man rushing over, Li Yi did not hesitate. He took out a shrivelled up talisman from his chest and activated it with his mind power before throwing it with force.

The talisman exploded in midair, forming a vortex of energy that spread in all directions. When it came into contact with the young man, it directly knocked him flying.

The youth tumbled to the ground as he coughed out large mouthfuls of blood. He raised his head, and his eyes were filled with disbelief. He was actually defeated by a withered talisman.

The rest of the youths' faces changed slightly as well, and their hearts skipped a beat when they saw this.

Lin Wu Feng's face darkened as he stared at Li Yi.

There were strong and weak points in the Talisman Master, but their strength was not stable. Even if someone was strong enough to not break through to the First Stage, they could still defeat the person who had broken through to the Innate realm. Even if someone weak enough broke through to the First Stage, they would only be considered as half a step strong.

But now, it seemed that Li Yi was clearly the former, and the explosive power of the talisman had actually forced back the youth.

Come! Didn't you want to cripple my Qi Sea? Li Yi looked at Lin Wu Feng, his gaze cold. In his hand, he casually held onto a shriveled and shriveled talisman.

The latter however, was silent and had a gloomy expression. The force that exploded from the talisman earlier was especially strong. If it was him who attacked earlier, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

Now, he still had another one in his hand.

Everyone forward, let's see how many talismans he has. A youth shouted.

Right, let's attack together. There were also people who chimed in. However, they were all ghosts and spirits, and their shouts were pleasant to hear. However, no one stepped forward. After all, the previous example was still lying on the ground.

You don't dare to go up? Li Yi stared at Lin Wu Feng with a smile that was not a smile. His words cripple his Qi Sea had truly touched his bottom line.

Because for a cultivator, death was not scary. What was scary was that the Qi Sea would be crippled, and life would be worse than death.

For Lin Wufeng to say such words, it was sufficient to show the viciousness and sinister nature in his heart. Such a person was not to be let off.

You guys go first, exhaust his talismans. Lin Wu Feng gritted his teeth. With a ruthless look in his eyes, he took a few steps back and left the group of youngsters behind.

Instantly, the youths panicked. They were only here to help Lin Wu Feng because of how strong his Lin Family was. If Lin Wu Feng wanted them to help, that would be a completely different matter.

This is my last talisman. Li Yi sighed, with a look of melancholy, he said: A single Talisman Paper costs thirty crystals, it's so expensive that it's scary! No need, I don't want to use it either."

The last one?

This word caused the eyes of the youths to light up.

Behind him, Lin Wu Feng revealed a sinister expression as he thought to himself, When I toss out this last talisman, what will you use to fight me with?

Let's make a bet, shall we? Li Yi raised his head and looked at Lin Wu Feng with a smile: I don't need a talisman to fight with you, if you win against me, the courtyard will belong to you, and if I win, your five hundred crystals will be left behind.

Hearing this, the teenagers were stunned.

Lin Wufeng's eyes turned cold as he laughed.

A Talisman Master actually did not use a talisman to fight him? It looked like he was poor and crazy, sacrificing his life for five hundred crystals.

However, this was also good. He didn't need to use talismans, he could defeat him, and he could still win this courtyard without any effort at all.

Alright, I agree. Lin Wu Feng grinned, All of you, back off! No one is allowed to interfere. I want to personally defeat him and let him experience what it means to be strong.

The young boys secretly looked at each other, and also heaved a sigh of relief. They were glad that they did not need to be used as a shield, but they also felt that Li Yi was very arrogant. A Talisman Master did not need to use talismans to fight, what could he use to fight against a Martial Cultivator? The outcome was obvious!

However, at this moment, they felt a faint unease in their hearts.

CHAPTER 4 - A GAMBLE

Weng! *

The three-foot-long sword shone with a dazzling light under the sunlight.

As someone who was prepared to walk the path of martial arts and firmly believed in becoming a powerful swordsman, he was always working hard, practicing the sword, the body, and the sword.

At this point, his understanding of the sword far surpassed that of many people.

Of course, he couldn't compare to his elder brother.

However, he was very confident that under his sword, all those who had yet to gain enlightenment would be defeated.

It's still too late for you to go back on your words now. Take 500 crystals, get lost as far as you can. Lin Wufeng tightly gripped his sword, as his aura soared. A powerful aura emanated from him, permeating the air with a faint sense of pressure.

The courtyard is right here, do you want it? Defeat me." Li Yi opened his eyes and spoke with a low voice.

Then die! Lin Wufeng waved his hand and the long sword hummed. The nine pulse lines intertwined in his body as they continuously gathered Essence Qi into the long sword in his hand.

A sword light flashed, but it came chopping down at high speed.

Seven or eight youngsters trembled with fear. They all felt how terrifying this sword strike was. If they were determined to avoid it, even if they avoided it, they would still suffer heavy injuries.

However, although Lin Wu Feng's speed was fast, to Li Yi, he was like a snail. He had already awakened, his five senses and six senses had increased by more than a fold, which was naturally not something Lin Wu Feng could compare with.

The sword slashed down, but it was dodged by Li Yi.

The latter was dazed for a moment before regaining his senses. He then raised the cold smile on his mouth, and with an imposing manner that was like a rainbow, he swung his sword horizontally.

Wherever the sword aura went, it screamed incessantly, and there was a powerful Sword Intent spreading out from it. It extended in all directions and suppressed the essence energy in the surroundings.

Swordsmanship.

The sword techniques of Lin Family. The youngsters cried out in unison as they held their breath.

A sword slashed horizontally, their minds filled with the following scenes: Li Yi lost, a Martial Cultivator unleashed his sword technique, to the unenlightened Talisman Master, they had no way of resisting!

Sword techniques?

I have one, too.

Li Yi laughed, he squinted his eyes and the sword appeared in his mind. When Lin Wu Feng's sword slashed down, he suddenly combined the fingers on his right hand into a sword.

In the instant that the lights and shadows interweaved, the sword in his hand chopped out in response to that tyrannical sword. There was no light and no imposing manner, but instead an ancient and ancient aura precipitated from it.

In the blink of an eye, it did not seem like a sword slash from Li Yi, but more like a sword attack from the Sword God.

Bang!

The two sword beams clashed and the sword force in Li Yi's hand suddenly erupted, forming wave after wave of shock waves that gushed forward and forcefully pushed Lin Wu Feng's sword light back.

Pfft!

The powerful force bounced back along the three-foot long sword, sending him flying dozens of meters away. He coughed out large mouthfuls of blood, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

Hiss hiss!

The youths all had their mouths agape, subconsciously hugging each other tightly, their bodies trembling slightly as they stared straight at Li Yi, as if they were staring at a devil.

A person who had stayed in the academy for three years and hadn't opened his eyes yet was actually able to defeat Lin Wufeng? This kind of scene was simply outrageous to the extreme, yet it actually happened.

What shocked them the most, was that Li Yi had used his palm to repel Lin Wu Feng's sword light.

How did he do it? What the hell? The teenagers were overwhelmed with bewilderment.

Li Yi chuckled, You've lost. After defeating Lin Wu Feng, his mood seemed to have improved.

The black imprint and the trick were his troubles in the past, but from today on, the trick and the trick were his.

In this world of nothingness, he had merely imitated that sword strike, yet he managed to break through the technique. Now that he had hastily unleashed it, he effortlessly defeated Lin Wufeng.

Li Yi had a feeling that this imprint was not ordinary. That huge black sword and that majestic figure were definitely terrifying existences.

He walked over, picked up the five bags of crystals from the ground, and then walked towards the morning breeze.

Waiting until Li Yi left, the youths gathered around, all of them looking nervous.

Lin Wu Feng's face was sinister as he stared at a certain direction, his fists clenched tightly, he roared: He's dead! No one can save him!

Having come from the Lin Family, he had diligently trained in the sword since childhood. Regardless of identity or strength, he far surpassed those of the same age.

In all these years, except for the fact that his brother had defeated him, no one his own age had ever been able to defeat him.

But now, facing someone who had not been enlightened for three years, he was actually defeated. This was a kind of humiliation, and someone as haughty as him would absolutely not allow himself to be defeated by Li Yi.

The morning sun slowly rose.

The Red Star Academy ushered in a new day. Cultivating had practically become the busiest matter in the entire academy.

The academy had three courtyards: the Enlightenment Courtyard, the Meridian Courtyard, and the Tutor Manor. These were the institutions that corresponded to the three great realms of cultivation.

And each cultivation courtyard was separated into three smaller courtyards, which corresponded to the cultivation of the sacred art user, the Martial Cultivator, and the Talisman Dao.

For the past three years, Li Yi had travelled alone and rarely stepped into these three cultivation grounds. Even he had only stopped at the courtyard of the Talisman Dao once or twice.

Today, he was in a good mood. The trick that he had been worrying about for so long had finally opened.

Initially, he had wanted to go to the Compendium Pavilion. However, after pondering for a long time, he decided to tell this good news to his friend, Wen Yuqing.

Wen Yuqing cultivated in sacred arts, although she had entered the Academy together with Li Yi, the former was clearly different.

In these three years, she did not live up to her title of genius. A few months ago, she had already opened the first meridian and became an expert in the cultivation world.

On the other hand, the 15 year old Qi Sea that was formed and had only just been enlightened had a huge difference between them!

Excuse me, is Wen Yuqing here? Li Yi swept his gaze across the courtyard.

The courtyard was huge and vast. In the center, there were a few buildings, which were the training grounds taught by his teacher. Although there weren't as many people as there were in the Enlightenment Courtyard, there were still quite a few people, around two hundred in number.

You're looking for Senior Sister? A green clothed lady just happened to pass by, as she was shocked, she sized Li Yi up and down. Seeing that he was dressed in ordinary clothes, with an ordinary temperament and clear eyes, she thought, normally, Senior Sister Wen hated those rich kids and hated their hypocrisy, maybe this person was Senior Sister Wen's friend.

Li Yi nodded: Yes, is she here?

The azure-dressed woman shook her head. You've come late. The academy's higher ups have issued an emergency mission, and some of the famous geniuses have all gone.

Li Yi raised his eyebrows, his heart was faintly uneasy, and he asked: An urgent mission? Do you know the location of the mission?

The azure-dressed woman's expression was solemn as she spat out two words: Mount Daliang, turned around, and left.

Li Yi's body shook, and she raised her head. However, her heart was in turmoil, as she had actually went to the Mount Daliang.

After leaving the Vein School, Li Yi decided to have breakfast, and then head to the Compendium Pavilion to get to know each other.

CHAPTER 5 - FRIEND CHEN QI

The Compendium Pavilion was open to all onlookers, and they were only allowed to browse through books on the spot. They were not allowed to bring them out.

Of course, almost all of the books here were history, or books written by predecessors, etc.

In this place, there were no martial skills, cultivation techniques, or divine abilities.

As such, even though the Compendium Pavilion was open for all to see, very few people came.

Li Yi came here and bowed to an old man guarding the door.

The old man sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. Without opening them, he said, Go in!

Li Yi thanked her and entered the Compendium Pavilion.

The Compendium Pavilion was huge, and there were around seven to eight shelves in total. From the front of the main entrance to the depths, it was around a dozen meters long.

The place was dark, gloomy, and the air thin. There was also an ancient smell that made one's breathing quicken.

Hu hu!

Li Yi casually grabbed an ancient book, blew away the dust on it and opened a few pages. After a while, he put down the ancient book and looked at the other books.

After about an hour, he moved towards the second shelf.

Six hours later, he walked to another shelf.

However, as he read till now, Li Yi was disappointed.

No records, none at all. Why? He couldn't figure it out.

After five hours had passed, he had almost casually flipped through the last few shelves, looking at the title before putting it back.

At this moment, the old man's voice sounded out, carrying slight displeasure within it. What are you looking for?

Li Yi paused for a moment, and then bluntly said: Mount Daliang, and then swept past the old man's figure, slapping his forehead, he was very vexed. The old man was in charge of the Compendium Pavilion, he definitely knows everything about this place, why didn't he ask him a few things? And then read it?

The old man opened his eyes, revealing a cloudy light in his eyes. Two years ago, all the ancient records related to Mount Daliang were completely burnt.

Li Yi's breath quickened in disbelief: Burned? Why?"

This matter is only known to the upper echelons of the Shang Kingdom. The old man explained in a serious tone, he looked at Li Yi carefully, and then frowned: You took shape too late, so you have to open the trick, your talent is ordinary, and you are destined to not walk too far.

But I can't see through you. After saying this, the old man's turbid gaze couldn't help but turn deep: You are Talisman Master?

Junior is untalented, barely able to refine talismans. Li Yi took a deep breath, his heart filled with unexplainable grief.

The Talisman Dao has already fallen, all of its legacies have been cut off, just like that ancient bloodline … The old man shook his head. He then said, Your talent is ordinary, but your sky spirit is extremely active. I can't see through you. With that, he closed his eyes again, not saying another word.

Li Yi opened his mouth slightly, he wanted to ask more about the Mount Daliang, but seeing the old man's closed eyes, he gave up.

Burned.

Why?

Li Yi revealed a look of puzzlement, he spat out a mouthful of turbid air and decided to ask the Principal.

Yo, isn't that our Academy's Talisman Dao Master, Senior Brother Li Yi? Li Yi who had just walked out of the Compendium Pavilion, was noticed by a few passing youths.

Strange, didn't Lin Xiaofeng of the Second Court say he wanted to buy his yard? His brother has brought a few people with him, how could he be in the mood to walk around? " A youth in embroidered clothes revealed a surprised expression.

Who knows! Maybe we didn't meet! " The youth who had spoken earlier looked at Li Yi while grinning.

Senior Martial Brother Li. He raised his head, sizing up Li Yi. He let out a soft sigh, and with a complicated look in his eyes, he said: The Talisman Dao has already declined, it's no longer possible. If you still have not awakened, take the crystal that the Lin Family has given you, and leave the academy!

Li Yi looked at him but did not say a word.

Three years ago, in the academy of this rich kid, they were once good friends that each other could only depend on.

Three years later, his cultivation had matured, and he had already merged into that powerful circle. However, his cultivation was still stagnant, and his cultivation was stagnant.

Chen Qi, all those years ago, you two were good friends! It is said that Senior Brother Li Yi even saved you, is this true?

Yeah, I heard that you guys have a good friend. What's his name? Wen Yuqing? Yes, it's Wen Yuqing. You even chased after her, but she didn't choose you. "

Haha, then Wen Yuqing must be blind, right? The group of youths all laughed loudly.

Although Wen Yuqing was a genius, he was also one of the lowest level of geniuses. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to open his meridians in three years.

The current Chen Qi had quite a bit of reputation among the Red Star Academy young generation.

If there's nothing else! I'll be leaving first. " Li Yi suppressed his voice, his tone low and heavy, his breathing a little hurried. He could tolerate Chen Qi's indifference, but he could not tolerate anyone insulting Wen Yuqing.

However, when facing this group of people, he knew that his strength was inferior, so he had to endure.

A youth laughed, Don't! Now that your old friends have met, we must have a good chat.

Someone echoed him, and said in a weird voice: Senior Brother Li, it is said that your Talisman Dao is very powerful, I wonder if that is true? Can you show me a thing or two?

The Talisman Dao s are godly, with a long history. Naturally, they are strong. The two youngsters were singing the same tune, seemingly not smiling at all. Their eyes were filled with ridicule.

If there was a choice, who would cultivate Talisman Dao?

The Talisman Dao might have been powerful in the ancient times, but in the present, they could not do much.

Let him go! Chen Qi sighed again, and said worriedly: Senior Brother Li, if Lin Xiaofeng is looking for trouble with you, you can look for me.

Li Yi swept a glance at him, his expression was indifferent, and did not make a sound. He immediately turned around, but no one knew, that deep down in his heart, he was feeling faint pain.

Chen Qi could become cold and indifferent, but how could he change to tolerate others humiliating Wen Yuqing?

Looking at Li Yi's back figure,
