Chapter 556: The Third Scroll
Chapter 556 The Third Scroll
Bang!
Li Yuan raised his hand and knocked down the cave door, making sure that no light could get in. Then he straightened his clothes and began to prepare for the ceremony.
He was very familiar with the ceremony of bestowing the ordnance from heaven, and what he had to prepare for was the loud noise that he would hear every time.
"Compared to the first time, my ritual is now very complete."
After lighting the incense, setting up the altar, and taking the elixir orally, Li Yuan made all the preparations, and then sprinkled the blood of the five animals according to the ritual directions.
In the darkness, the blood of five top-grade spiritual beasts emitted a strange light and had a very strong smell. The bloody smell also contained a fragrance similar to that of plants and trees.
The blood of spiritual beasts of this level can be used as the main ingredient for many spiritual pills, and can even have the effect of taking pills if eaten raw.
'It really does smell like a blood sacrifice.'
Feeling the bloody smell in the cave, Li Yuan's mind was distracted, but he quickly dismissed the idea. This was too disrespectful to the ancestors.
"Dayun can't find a higher level of spiritual beast blood. If it doesn't work this time... I hope the ancestor will bless me!"
He let out a long breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and paced around, reciting in his heart and mouth at the same time:
"Disciple Li Yuan, after reading all the classics, has gained wisdom... He is neither greedy nor angry, neither kills nor hates. He has not violated any of the precepts, and his mind is clear..."
In the past ten years, Master Li Dao has grown a lot, and when he recites this prayer again, his heart is calm.
After a moment, he bowed and said:
"Disciple Li Yuan, please pray to heaven for blessings!"
Woo!
With his sleeves hanging to the ground, Master Li Dao couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Although he guessed that this time it would probably work, what if the Grand Master didn't react?
Fortunately, after a few breaths, the familiar loud noise came as expected.
boom!
Even though he was prepared, Li Yuan still felt a black screen before his eyes. The noise became more and more violent and louder. In a trance, he seemed to hear countless whispers.
Various colors intertwined in his mind, creating an indescribable bizarre scene.
"Roar!"
"Moo!"
There was a bright light in the cave.
The blood of the five animals spilled on the ground burned and boiled, turning into shadows of giant beasts that seemed to be there and not there, roaring and rising into the sky.
After a few moments, Li Yuan came back to his senses from his trance, wiped the blood gushing out of his seven orifices, and without caring about anything else, he sat cross-legged.
According to his experience, this loud noise was just a prelude, and the real roar was yet to come.
"The soul leaves the body!"
As soon as Li Yuan's mind changed, a roar even louder than before followed.
boom!
The moment the loud bang occurred, Li Yuan had lost his perception of the outside world. The sound waves crushed his five senses, as if he had exploded from the inside out.
Even with all the preparations and experiences, he still couldn't help but groan, and the green smoke of his soul that had left his body seemed to disperse, and it took a while to gather into shape.
He looked down and saw that his body had fallen to the ground from where he was sitting cross-legged. His mouth, nose and other orifices seemed to have been pierced and blood was gushing out like a column.
"Good guy!"
Li Yuan quickly returned to his body. The intense pain made him groan and pound the ground. The medicinal power of the Dragon-Tiger Pill was being rapidly consumed.
This noise was several times louder than the previous one, and it actually injured him.
"Fortunately, it worked!"
Sitting cross-legged and channeling the energy and medicinal power, Li Yuan finally caught his breath after a long time. For a moment, he felt exhausted as if he were dying.
The pressure brought to him by this loud noise was much more terrifying than when he climbed the Bafang Mountain before. He even had the illusion that he had walked between life and death.
"We're still not prepared enough... This loud noise could really kill someone."
Li Yuan gasped heavily, still in shock. It took him a while to get over the shock. With great fatigue, he entered the military control space.
Woohoo!
In the peaceful space of holding troops, various colors intertwined, and at the edge of the stone platform, the deep and lightless darkness was boiling and surging, like the ripples left by the loud noise.
The moment he entered this place, he saw a dark yellow wooden platform on the edge of the stone platform.
"This is……"
Li Yuan concentrated and sensed.
[The third granting of the talisman: the talisman of the palm of the hand]
[Li Yuan: Tenth-level weapon master, seventh-level sound master, first-level disaster master]
[Tenth-level Weapon Control Scroll]
[Number of soldiers that can be defended: 10]
[Already opened: Divine Fire Weapon Furnace (Level 10), Divine Fire Weapon Forging Platform (Level 10), Long Corridor]
[Seventh-level palm sound talisman]
[Number of heavenly sounds you can listen to: 1 (once every six months)]
[Already opened: Listening to the Sounds (Level 7), Finger Notes (Level 7)]
"The palm robbery scroll?"
Li Yuan approached the wooden platform and frowned: "Disaster? Disaster?"
The last two times he succeeded in bestowing the ordination certificate, he was able to obtain some information about the new ordination certificate, but this time he did not...
"No, or was it because the noise just now was too loud and I was distracted and missed it?"
Li Yuan concentrated and sensed.
[First-level palm calamity talisman]
[Number of days that can be robbed: 1 (once every years)]
[Already opened: Human Hijacking Platform (Level 1)]
[Robbery 300 times (first level), holding the robbery scroll can be promoted to the second level]
"Heaven robbery? Human robbery?"
Li Yuan was stunned and failed to understand for a moment. He changed the bone ornament control combination and relied on the bone ornament's enhancement of perception to concentrate his mind once again.
hum~
Perhaps it was because his perception had improved, or perhaps it was because the distance was closer, this time, as he concentrated, he seemed to "hear" the "voice" coming from the wooden platform. "There are fifty great ways, forty-nine of them are derived from the sky, and one of them escaped and scattered into the boundless..."
What the hell?
Li Yuan was a little confused.
He was certainly familiar with the saying "There are fifty great ways, forty-nine are derived from heaven, and one escapes", but the meaning of this saying was a matter of opinion.
The question is, what does this sentence have to do with the Palm of Tribulation Talisman?
"The way of heaven is to reduce the excess and make up for the deficiency, and the way of man is to reduce the deficiency and make up for the excess..."
Is this gone?
In front of the wooden platform, Li Yuan was speechless: "...Mysterious and mysterious, it is indeed the style of the ancestors."
"Can't it be more simple and easy to understand?"
Li Yuan frowned and thought for a while, feeling completely confused. How could a half-baked Taoist like him understand the understanding of the Way of Heaven left by the Taoist sages?
After thinking about it, he could only put aside his thoughts temporarily and walked towards the wooden platform.
hum~
The moment he stepped onto the wooden platform, Li Yuan sensed some information about the Palm of Tribulation Talisman and this wooden platform.
"…The way of man is to reduce the excess and replenish the deficiency…Use the precious mental energy to activate the 'Human Robbery Rod', and you can fish for good fortune in the boundless…"
Feeling the message from the human robbery platform, Li Yuan gradually understood and his expression became strange:
"Isn't this fishing?!"
On the wooden platform, Li Yuan was a little confused. He had heard so many mysterious words before. Could it be that this wooden platform was used for fishing?
"No, it's not fishing. Fishing requires bait, but this only requires casting the rod..."
Li Yuan carefully sensed and analyzed the fragmented information from the human robbery platform:
"... to call up the good fortune from the infinite... this good fortune... whether it has an owner or not, can be caught by angling?"
"This……"
After standing there for a long time, Li Yuan finally understood the meaning of this palm calamity scroll:
"It's not the robbery of disaster...it's the robbery of robbery!"
God!
After digesting the information, Li Yuan felt a little dazed. Just one Diaoyutai was associated with a bunch of mysterious words.
"This scroll really has everything..."
Li Yuan looked at the groove on the platform. There was a white wooden stick lying horizontally in it. It looked ordinary at first glance.
"Try to cast a rod first?"
hum~
As Li Yuan's mind moved, incense sticks of different colors flew over.
There was too little information contained in this Palm Tribulation Talisman. If he wanted to become familiar with its use, he had to figure it out on his own.
"The incense that has not reached the first level cannot be activated... Then start from the first level."
A wisp of incense sank into the human robbery platform. Without Li Yuan's control, the white wooden pole had already risen into the air, throwing out a thin line that seemed to be there and not there into the unfathomable darkness.
“It’s really fishing.”
Li Yuan was shocked. He concentrated and sensed that thin thread falling into the darkness and disappeared.
hum~
After a moment, the white wooden stick trembled again, and the thin line that was thrown out was quickly pulled back, and in the blink of an eye, it was collected.
“…Empty pole?”
Seeing that there was nothing on the fish hook at the other end of the thin line, Li Yuan was not too disappointed. He had fished before and it was common to have an empty rod.
hum~
Li Yuan continued to cast the rod, trying from the first level to the fifth level, and recorded the time taken for each cast.
Soon, he had missed forty-three times.
"It takes from one minute to more than ten minutes to play one shot... There is no pattern found so far, and there may be no pattern at all..."
"Empty again?"
"The fifth-level incense is also empty..."
After missing fifty shots in a row, Li Yuan began to wonder if his luck was too bad. He quickly took up several weapons that could bring good luck, and threw several incense burners related to bad luck into the cave.
So, after the fifty-sixth cast, Li Yuan heard a "splash" sound, like the sound of a fish being caught out of the water.
“Finally!”
Li Yuan was shocked: "I'm using fourth-level incense this time, let's see what I can catch..."
He still attaches great importance to his third talisman.
hum!
Soon, the thin line was retracted, and a long knife without sheath was hanging on the hook.
[Robbery Small Six-Combination Sword (Level 2)]
"..."
The corners of Li Yuan's eyes were twitching. Not to mention the more than fifty strokes before him, this one stroke alone required the use of fourth-level incense.
I only caught a second-level knife? !
“This is too bad.”
After taking off the long knife and taking a look at it, Li Yuan felt quite disappointed, but he still patiently continued to cast the rod. He still understood the principle of not providing a single piece of evidence.
Wow~
Wow!
After changing the steering wheel, Li Yuan's success rate increased significantly, and when he was lucky, he could hit three rods in a row.
Soon, Li Yuan had cast more than three hundred shots.
"Fishing... Pah, the randomness of intercepted objects is very high. This is related to the grade of the palm robbery scroll. So far, I have not seen anything below the first grade... But the influence of high-level incense on the grade of the robbery object does not seem to be significant?"
"What's the point of high-level incense? Distance? Or something else... After the Palm Tribulation Scroll is promoted to the second level, the first-level incense is no longer useful?"
"It takes a lot of time to fish, but luckily I can multitask..."
"The success rate is really related to luck..."
In addition to changing his root bones, he even gave up the standing meditation and immersed himself completely in "robbery".
On the ninth day, when he put down his fishing rod, his palm had been promoted to the third level.
