Sometimes, too much is not a good thing!
Lin Jiangnian stayed in Ruyi Tower for the entire afternoon.
The three entire floors of the huge Ruyi Building are filled with books. It is almost impossible for Lin Jiangnian to search through the entire floor, so he can only search in a targeted manner.
Fortunately, Lin Jiangnian is not interested in matters such as governing a country, military affairs, and politics, nor is he interested in romantic poems and songs.
After searching in the attic, he soon found the bookshelf on the fourth floor that contained the secret manuals of martial arts from all over the world.
"Thunder Palm?"
"Taiyi Heart Technique?"
"The Sword Sect's number one sword technique?"
“…”
On several rows of bookshelves are placed the secret martial arts manuals and unique skills from various major sects in the martial arts world, including some of the most powerful skills of major sects.
There are countless kinds of martial arts, from mental skills to fists, swords, knives, spears and hidden weapons, as well as internal and external martial arts.
The more Lin Jiangnian looked, the more shocked he became, and the more he couldn't help but admire it.
This Ruyi Tower is simply a living gold mountain!
There are so many martial arts secrets, which almost include most of the martial arts treasures of the martial arts sects. For ordinary people, it is simply unimaginable.
How could the Prince of Lin, who guards such a mountain of gold and treasures, be a weak and helpless dandy?
All I can say is that people’s joys and sorrows are not the same.
Looking at the dense array of mental skills and martial arts skills laid out in front of him, Lin Jiangnian felt embarrassed.
He had never practiced martial arts before, so he had a different understanding of all this. Without the guidance of a renowned master, learning martial arts would require countless detours. Although there were many martial arts before him, Lin Jiangnian couldn't tell which was better.
Learning rashly may not be a good thing.
"It seems that I have to find someone to give me some advice!"
Lin Jiang sighed, and a figure appeared in his mind.
Woman in red.
Now she is the only one who can guide Lin Jiangnian.
After making up his mind, Lin Jiangnian searched through several martial arts manuals and simply memorized their contents. Although he couldn't understand most of them, remembering them was better than knowing nothing. Lin Jiangnian quickly memorized several martial arts manuals that looked good.
Then, he glanced at the sky outside the building and turned to go up to the fifth floor.
The second, third and fourth floors are all filled with books, while the fifth floor is filled with weapons. The entire fifth floor is filled with various peerless weapons that King Lin had seized from all over the world.
Some of the items were confiscated from the underworld, and some were captured on the battlefield. All kinds of swords, sticks, magical weapons and hidden weapons were placed in front of the eyes, and the people were staring at them.
However, Lin Jiangnian was not interested in these for the time being. He was weak and powerless, so even if he had a peerless weapon, it would probably be of no use.
So after a short stay, he went straight to the sixth floor.
The entire sixth floor is lined with several rows of bookshelves, on top of which are placed medical books, and behind the bookshelves are collections of various rare treasures, rare herbs and elixirs.
Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian's eyes suddenly lit up.
These are his biggest purposes for coming to Ruyi Tower today.
He wants to find the antidote to the poison in his body here!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Lin Jiangnian quickly walked to the bookshelf and scanned the bookshelf.
It is rumored that the Ruyi Tower houses rare and precious treasures from all over the world, and the rare and unique treasures among them are even richer than those in the storehouses of the Daning Dynasty’s imperial palace.
Lin Jiangnian was completely focused, searching for clues about the poison. His efforts paid off, and after careful searching, he finally found some information about the poison.
"The origin of the Gu poison is unknown. Rumor has it that within the Miao border, the Miao people are adept at using poison, and Gu poison is one of them..."
"There are many types of poisonous insects, and the techniques for cultivating them are complex and difficult, and they can easily backfire. Once someone is infected, it's difficult to remove them, and their life hangs by a thread..."
"Fifteen years ago, the Miao nation was destroyed, and the art of Gu poison spread among the people, but gradually disappeared. Today, only one in ten Gu poisons still exist in the world..."
“…”
Lin Jiangnian lowered his head and flipped through the book about the poison, squinting his eyes.
Miaojiang?
Miao people?
Although Gu poison has spread among the people since the Miao people were destroyed, when most people mention Gu poison, they still think of the Miao people.
As for the woman in red...
Lin Jiangnian thought carefully about the appearance and clothing of the servants around the woman in red that he had seen that day. Could the strange patterns on their bodies be related to the so-called Miao border?
Lin Jiangnian had a vague feeling that he was close to the truth, but he couldn't be completely sure. The book in his hand only introduced the existence of the poison, but did not record any method of detoxification.
Gu poison is rare to begin with, and as it is gradually lost, methods to detoxify it are also uncommon.
I've even heard that there's no antidote for this poison. Unless the person who poisoned them takes the initiative to detoxify, it's difficult for others to remove it. Even disturbing the worms within their bodies could cause them to rage and burrow into their hearts, potentially killing them.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian felt a chill on his back and a wave of fear.
He didn't expect that this insect was so terrifying?!
If he didn't realize this and just detoxified it carelessly, the bugs in his body would burst out...
shudder.
Lin Jiangnian took a deep breath and calmed down.
It shouldn't be!
Even if this poison is difficult to cure, there shouldn't be no way to cure it, right?
There is always a way to deal with any poison in the world. Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian continued to browse on the bookshelf.
It was not until the sky gradually darkened outside that Lin Jiangnian had looked through almost all the medical books on the bookshelf, but he still could not find a way to detoxify the poison.
Disappointed Lin Jiangnian finally realized that this poison might not be so easy to cure... No wonder the woman in red was so confident and trusted him.
It turned out that from the very beginning, she was confident and not worried about whether Lin Jiangnian could cure the poison.
After browsing for the entire afternoon, even Lin Jiangnian felt a little tired. He rubbed his eyes and glanced at the night sky.
It was getting late, and the attic was gradually darkening. It looked like we wouldn't find anything tonight, so we'd try again tomorrow.
By the way, if the woman in red comes tonight, let’s see if we can get some clues from her.
Lin Jiangnian was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from the attic. He was startled, but quickly calmed down.
Turning around and looking back, a figure appeared in the sight not far away.
He was a short, hunched old man in a gray robe, slightly bent at the waist. At this moment, he had his back to Lin Jiangnian and was sweeping the dust from the attic floor with a broom in his hand.
Seeing this scene, Lin Jiangnian's pupils suddenly condensed.
Sweeping Monk?!
