A handwritten note from the master.
It was an amber-coloured jade slip.
Small arm length, fist thickness, indicating a layer of golden radiance, with a mysterious colour.
Moreover, the jade slip was extremely heavy, a small one that weighed thousands of pounds.
“Who’s messing with me?”Qin Li’s heart turned over in shocking waves.
The Husbandman’s Handwritten Journal was the highest tome of the Xixuan Academy, recording secrets above the Immortal King, its value was incalculable, and it was a supreme treasure that countless cultivators could only dream of.
Qin Li, however, had a worried look on his face, his brows Avray locked as if he had been handed a hot potato, his arms trembling slightly, his heart not to mention how tangled it was.
Suddenly!
An idea popped up.
Why don’t we open it and take a look, after all, this is the husband’s handwritten notes ah!
Qin Li grinned at the corner of his mouth, ultimately unable to hold back the curiosity in his heart, wanting to take a peek at the mysteries above the Immortal King.
“Eh ……”
“How come the jade slip won’t open!”
Qin Li exerted his full strength, steel could be pinched and burst, but he just couldn’t open the jade slip.
This amber jade slip was as indestructible as the Heavenly Divine Gold that had been fused into a single piece.
Looking closely, on the surface of the jade slip, there were many tiny runes carved into it, hooked together to form a prohibition, guarding the safety of the slip to death.
“This is the ‘Book Seal’, every precious book in the Great Book Depository has this kind of prohibition, without using special techniques, it cannot be cracked.”
Qin Li was greatly distressed.
Solely, he decided to break it violently.
The Pointed Star Sword was drawn out, infused with Immortal Power, the sword aura flourished, and slashed down with all his might.
Clang!
Ka-chow-
A dull sound of gold and iron clashing.
The Husbandman’s Handbook erupted with a terrifying recoil.
The Pointed Star Sword wailed as the head of the sword was hardened and broken, extremely tragic.
This Fifth Grade Immortal Soldier, which had knocked out many cracks during the battle with Old Man Leaning on the Mountain, was now shaken so much that the cracks widened and snapped on the spot.
Qin Li was depressed, in his hands was a mountain of treasure, but he was unable to collect a single cent.
Was thinking hard.
Suddenly!
Thud! Dang! Knock!
A dull knock sounded on the door.
“Senior brother Qin, can you open the door?”
Han asked as his voice came over, flat and cold.
“Ah!”
Qin Li’s face changed drastically.
Oh no, the people investigating the case are coming.
The Husbandman’s handwriting is in my hand, if Han Asked finds out, he won’t be able to explain it at all.
This is now a big trouble, if I’m suspected of being a book thief, I’ll definitely be expelled from the academy, and if it’s serious, I’ll have to have my cultivation abolished.
“Senior brother Qin, you’re so quiet!”Han asked and knocked on the door a few more times.
“Senior Brother Han, I’m a bit busy.”
Qin Li answered, his mind racing.
Suddenly, he had a flash of light, this jade slip could be included in the Qian Kun Bead first, and he could make plans later.
Qin Li hurriedly catalysed the Qian Kun Bead.
However!
No matter how hard he tried.
The Jade Slip just couldn’t enter the Qian Kun Bead.
……
“Senior Brother Qin!”
Outside the door, Han asked and called out again.
He now had full authority to pursue the case of the theft of the husband’s handbook.
The first stop in investigating the case was the Dan Department, hoping to find some clues here.
The line up from house to house went down very smoothly, but when they arrived at Qin Li’s alchemy room, they didn’t see the other party open the door for a long time.
“Senior brother Qin, please open the door.”
Han asked, feeling that something wasn’t right, his tone chilling.
“Senior Brother Han, I have some important matters here, can you come over later.”Qin Li’s hand-wringing voice came from inside the house.
Han asked, acutely aware of the problem.
Qin Li had only just returned, what kind of important matter could he have.
Moreover, listening to his voice, there was a bit of weakness in the midst of the panic, it was hard to ……
“Senior Brother Qin, I’m offended!”
Han asked, making an immediate decision and breaking through the door.
Boom!
The door to the room exploded.
Han asked to enter forcefully.
His gaze was as sharp as a knife as he quickly swept through his surroundings.
A wide alchemy room, a few simple pieces of furniture, and a huge is bronze dan furnace surrounded by flames, while Qin Li was sitting beside the dan furnace.
“Senior brother Qin, so you’re refining pills.”Han asked, his voice easing down.
Qin Li catalysed the Heaven’s Path flames, burning the Dan furnace while casting Immortal Herbs, and also detached a portion of his spirit to chat idly:
“Senior Brother Han, why did you blow up my door, it scared me so much, this furnace of fifth grade pills, I almost missed refining it.”
“It was me who was reckless, I apologise to senior brother.”
Han asked and arched his hand, secretly using divine thoughts to sweep through the surroundings, sensing everything suspicious.
Divine thoughts originated from the divine soul, belonging to the sixth sense outside of the five senses, invisible and without substance, able to pass through matter and glimpse the truth. The stronger the cultivation, the more terrifying the divine idea penetration, the divine idea of the Immortal King level, can already do it to see the bull across the mountain.
“There’s nothing wrong with it, it’s just ……”
Han asked as his gaze coldly looked towards the dan furnace.
The flames in the alchemy furnace were blazing, so it was impossible to see what was going on inside, and even divine thoughts couldn’t penetrate. This was the only place in the room that could not be inspected.
“Senior Brother Han, why are you staring at the Dan Furnace, it’s hard not to be interested in alchemy.”Qin Li smiled.
Han asked, shaking his head, “I don’t have any talent in this area.”
“Senior brother is too modest.”Qin Li asked as his words changed:
“By the way, Senior Brother Han, do you have an eyebrow on the Husbandman’s Handbook?”
Han asked with a frown, “Not yet, this theft case, the method was clean and sharp, I didn’t find any clues.”
“Tough on senior brother, you’ve delayed a lot of cultivation time for this.”Qin Li said.
Han asked but said, “It’s my responsibility to maintain order in the academy. Moreover, all the senior uncles have already issued a bounty, whoever catches the thief will be rewarded with a Ninth Grade Immortal Technique.”
“Oh! That’s not bad.”Qin Li’s gaze flickered.
Two more sentences were chatted.
Han asked and turned to leave.
Qin Li, on the other hand, was caught up in thought.
If he suddenly handed over the Husbandman’s Handbook, he would definitely be suspected.
However, if he caught the thief, not only would he be cleared of suspicion, he would also be able to obtain a Ninth Grade Immortal Technique.
Most importantly, since the thief had left the manual with him, he would definitely come back to retrieve it, and as long as he waited for the rabbit, he would surely capture all the stolen goods.
Thinking of this, Qin Li smiled faintly.
Suddenly!
Han asked to go and return.
Extremely careful, he swept through again with his divine thoughts.
“Is there something else going on with Senior Brother? Why did you come back again?”Qin Li asked.
Han asked, waving his hand, finally dispelling his worries, “Nothing, I’m just taking a casual stroll.”
He left once more, supposedly for real.
“Almost revealed myself!”
Qin Li sat still and continued to pretend to refine pills.
After waiting for half an hour and confirming that there were no problems, he extinguished the flame.
First, he repairs the shattered gate and then fishes out the husband’s handwritten book from the dan furnace.
This amber jade manual, it was not known what material was used to cast it, and after calcining it for so long with the fire of the Heavenly Dao, it was actually unharmed, rather like a feeling of true gold not being afraid of being refined by fire.
“Gotta find a place to hide it.”
Qin Li swept around and felt that the Dan Dregs Barrel was the most suitable.
Every time he refined pills, there would be quite a lot of dan dregs left over, with a slight toxicity. With the accumulation of days and months, the barrel was already full of dregs, just the right place to bury the husband’s handwritten notes in.
Taking care of this, Qin Li began to keep watch.
It didn’t take long!
Knock knock knock!
The knock on the door sounded once again.
“Qin boy, are you there?”
Qin Li’s heart fluttered as he hurriedly pushed open the door to his room.
Outside the door stood two people, none other than the Green-robed Immortal King and the Red-browed Immortal King.
Qin Li’s heart thumped.
It was hard to believe that it was the two Dan Division Masters who had stolen the Husbandman’s Handwriting.
They were able to get their hands on the Ninth Grade Forget-Me-Not Grass, and they also had the ability to enter the Great Book Depository, so in order to clear their suspicions, they had secretly placed the jade slip in their room, and now they had come over to probe.
“Qin kid, you’re so quiet!”The green-robed Immortal King asked.
“Eh! What’s going on with the door of your house, it’s all shattered?”The Red-Browed Immortal King said curiously.
Qin Li explained, “Senior Han came over to investigate the case and accidentally blew up the door. That said, what do the two senior brothers want to see me about?”
The green-robed Immortal King laughed, “You brat has a bad memory, didn’t you ask us for the Sixth Grade Dan Formula before?”
The Red Eyebrow Immortal King handed out three jade slips, “Promoting to a sixth grade alchemist is not an easy task, you must not be in a hurry. These three Dan formulas are the most mature Sixth Grade Dan, on them are the notes of the two of us, you should study them well.”
“Many thanks to the two masters!”
Qin Li borrowed the Dan formulas, his heart moved.
It should be that he had guessed wrongly, the two senior uncles would not be book thieves.
Besides, the two senior uncles were only Immortal King Sixth Grade, so stealing the Husbandman’s Handbook wouldn’t be able to be used!
“Alright, go study it on your own, if you have any problems, go find us.”The green-robed Immortal King and the red-browed Immortal King explain a few times and turn to leave.
Qin Li respectfully saw them off.
And just at this time.
Another Immortal King flew over.
This person, was actually the Golden Light Immortal King of the Weaponry Department, his cultivation reaching the ninth rank of Immortal King.
