Daily News: You promised yourself to be a fisherman, but you've become a martial arts god?

After finishing breakfast, Li Nian went to the county government office.

The inner city of Qianhu County consists of five islands, with the county government located on the central island.

The county government office was the residence of the Yi family.

Before long, a simple and ancient government office building appeared before Li Nian's eyes.

The county government office was located in the center of the street, with a simple and unadorned gate tower, not extremely luxurious.

The vermilion gate was half-closed, the stone lions looked a bit old, and the blue stone steps in front of the gate were worn smooth by the footsteps of pedestrians.

The plaque is upright and eye-catching, with ceremonial plaques arranged on both sides, which has both official dignity and a touch of everyday life.

As soon as Li Nian reached the entrance of the county government office, he was stopped by a yamen runner who asked him:

"Young man, are you here to seek justice, report a crime, or handle some other trivial matter?"

"Sir, we're here to see Constable Yi Xiao."

Li Nian took out the waist tag that Yi Xiao had given her.

Upon seeing the waist tag, the constable's expression changed, and he became extremely respectful.

"Honored guest, please wait a moment, I will go and inform the head constable immediately."

After saying this, he hurriedly entered the county government office.

Those who obtain the Yi family's token are all guest retainers recruited by the Yi family.

Those who were regarded as guest advisors by the Yi family were all skilled martial artists.

How could you possibly offend an ordinary yamen runner!

Before long, Yi Xiao arrived at the entrance of the county government office, his face beaming with enthusiasm:

"Brother Li, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Let me take you to the Sutra Repository!"

"Thank you, Officer Yi."

Li Nian clasped her hands in a fist salute.

The two walked and talked.

Entering the backyard of the county government office, one enters the main residence of the Yi family. Passing through the carved beams and painted rafters of the long corridor, one arrives at a simple and rustic courtyard.

Several winter plum trees are planted in the courtyard, their red flowers blooming amidst the falling snow, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance of plum blossoms.

A thin, white-bearded old man was leisurely sweeping the snow off the stone slabs with a broom.

Yi Xiao bowed and clasped his hands in greeting to the old man.

"Manager He, Young Master Li has arrived."

"Let him choose one himself on the next floor."

The old man did not turn around, his voice calm as still water, as if nothing could disturb his peace of mind.

"yes!"

Knowing Manager He's temperament, Yi Xiao dared not say anything more and solemnly agreed.

Seeing this, Li Nian gave the old man a closer look.

As a head constable, Yi Xiao's status in the Yi family is not low.

Now, Yi Xiao was cautious and respectful in front of the old man, which showed that the old man was no ordinary person and was not just an ordinary manager.

Lost in thought, Yi Xiao pointed to the first floor of the attic and said to Li Nian:

"Brother Li, that is the first floor of my Yi family's Scripture Pavilion. Go in and choose your martial arts techniques."

"Thank you, Officer Yi."

Li Nian clasped her hands in a fist salute.

Then, they headed in the direction Yi Xiao pointed.

As you gently push open the door, a faint scent of ink and camphor wood wafts in, evoking a sense of profoundness.

Before me stood rows of towering sandalwood bookshelves.

There are nine bookshelves, each with nine shelves.

The books and bamboo slips were neatly arranged and piled up on top.

At a cursory glance, there must be several hundred!

Gudong!

Li Nian's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but swallow hard.

An ordinary martial arts school, possessing one or two martial arts skills, can establish itself in Qianhu County.

The Yi family has so many members.

This is only the first layer!

"You may choose any martial arts technique from the library."

"One hour is the time limit."

"No time limit."

Amidst the shock, Steward He's calm voice came from outside.

time limit!

One hour!

There are so many martial arts techniques on this floor that it's impossible to learn them all in an hour. We need to make the most of our time!

Li Nian dared not be negligent and began to examine various martial arts techniques in the Sutra Repository.

Plum Blossom Stance, Rock-Shattering Palm, Continuous Kicks, Falling Goose Sword Technique, Gale Staff, Whirlwind Walk...

After browsing through two bookshelves, Li Nian discovered that the martial arts techniques were all basic stance training and simple martial arts skills.

In terms of sophistication, it is far inferior to what he learned at the Qinyun Martial Arts School.

of course.

With "Deduction" in hand, any inferior martial art can be transformed into a higher-level martial art through "Deduction".

However, due to poor martial arts skills, the effectiveness of "deduction" was limited.

To achieve the same level of martial arts skill, one would need to spend more intelligence points to "deduce" it, and the final power would definitely be inferior to the exquisite martial arts skill "deduced".

It's the same principle as using iron ore to forge weapons versus using refined iron.

He has limited intelligence points now, so he needs to choose his martial arts skills carefully!

"Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, Frosty Shadow Saber Technique!"

Upon reaching the next bookshelf, Li Nian saw two weapon manuals.

This was mentioned by Liu Qinyun.

After a quick look, it was indeed much more sophisticated than the martial arts techniques I had seen before.

"I haven't learned any weapon skills yet, but either of these two skills would be quite suitable for me."

"However, the Mingjin stage focuses on strengthening the body, and the benefits of fist and foot techniques are greater."

"It's not too late to learn after you've reached the Ming Jin stage, or if there are free weapon manuals available."

After pondering for a moment, Li Nian put the two martial arts manuals back in their original places.

Continue the search.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Nian found and examined the techniques Liu Qinyun had mentioned: Shadow Strike, Thunder Kick, and Wind-Sweeping Palm.

It's really good.

However, he had already mastered the movement techniques, so there was no need for him to learn them again.

Moreover, the power of the fleeting shadow and ephemeral light is far inferior to that of the unseen dragon.

As for the Thunder Kick...

According to its description, its sophistication is not comparable to the thirty-road rock-breaking leg used by the Japanese at that time.

The moves are too orthodox; they're not suitable for killing.

If we kill Yuan Guangbo, we might be able to obtain the Thirty Styles of Shattering Rock Leg. Practicing Thunderclap Leg now would be pointless.

The Wind-Sweeping Palm technique is quite good.

He hasn't learned the palm technique yet.

"We still have plenty of time, let's see if there's anything else."

With her thoughts settled, Li Nian picked up the Wind-Sweeping Palm manual and went to find other martial arts techniques.

Ok?

Before long, Li Nian found several old and worn booklets on the innermost shelf of the bookshelf. They were covered with a thick layer of dust and looked like they had been there for many years.

"Young man, the books on that shelf are fragments of martial arts techniques that my Yi family has collected over the years in the martial arts world."

"These martial arts techniques were originally from famous masters and were renowned and profound skills in the martial arts world, but they are all incomplete now."

"Practicing incomplete cultivation techniques can easily lead to qi deviation and demonic possession."

The voice of Steward He came from the doorway.

"Thank you for the reminder, Steward He."

Li Nian thanked him.

Manager He did not respond. He put down the broom, lay down on the rattan chair by the door, and rocked gently.

Li Nian casually picked up a dusty little booklet, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.

"Incomplete martial arts skill 'deduction'?"

The thought crossed my mind, and I opened the system.

"Deduction!"

[If you have enough intelligence points for 15 deductions, do you want to deduce the incomplete version of the martial art Hunyuan Zhenyue Fist?]

Upon seeing the system's prompt indicating that it could perform calculations, Li Nian's heart pounded wildly.

His guess was correct.

The system can deduce incomplete martial arts techniques!

In other words.

It can "deduce" the complete form of incomplete martial arts techniques!

and.

Because these advanced martial arts techniques are incomplete, the intelligence points consumed by "deduction" are not many!

"no!"

After regaining her composure, Li Nian chose to refuse.

He was just trying to see if he could extrapolate.

There are still so many incomplete yet profound martial arts techniques here; we must take a good look and choose carefully!

Li Nian picked up another booklet.

One after another.

Sky-Splitting Cloud-Breaking Palm (incomplete), Seven Star Big Dipper Stance (incomplete), Lightness Skill Water-Walking (incomplete), Azure Wave Dust-Slaying Sword (incomplete)...

Li Nian was overwhelmed by the choices and didn't know how to decide.

Just then, a small booklet at the very bottom caught his attention.

The booklet is made of tanned animal hide, giving it an ancient and weighty feel when held in the hand.

On the first page of the booklet, several simple and vigorous characters were written—

Supernatural Powers - Misty Waves Guest

Title page annotation: The Heavenly Sea Sect's inherited supernatural fishing techniques!

Li Nian's heart skipped a beat, and her pupils shrank to pinpoints.

Damn...

Fishing skills!
