"Jianghai City?"

This was the first time Li Liushui heard of this little place.

"That's right. You didn't go online before, so you didn't know. Recently, a super strong man appeared in Jianghai City. He practices both sword and saber. I can feel that his sword skills are comparable to yours. Maybe he can help you improve a lot."

Li Liushui nodded thoughtfully, then bowed to the Shaolin monks.

"I am deeply sorry for the inconvenience I have caused to you all in Shaolin these days. Thanks to the help of all the masters, I was able to control the power in my body from running wild.

If Shaolin needs you in the future, you can send someone to find me at any time, and I will do my best to help you."

The monks raised their hands and saluted.

"Amitabha, Li Daoshen is too kind. You are a strong man in Jiuzhou. You have made many contributions to Jiuzhou. You have killed star beasts many times and saved the people from danger. It is only natural for us to help you. You don't need to thank me."

"Masters, I feel a little guilty when you say this. Unfortunately, I have not yet resolved my inner demons. I will come to Shaolin to express my gratitude after I resolve them."

"Amitabha, Li Daoshen, my Shaolin Martial Arts Academy professor Fa Zheng is also going to Jianghai City. Li Daoshen can go with him, so as to avoid using spiritual energy and triggering the demonic nature in his body that has just been suppressed."

Li Liushui nodded.

"That's fine. I'll have to trouble you, little friend Fa Zheng."

On the other side, Ye Xiao came to the Zhongzhou Martial Arts Library and went straight to the top floor of the Martial Arts Library.

He had previously used Professor Huang’s reading card to read books, but Professor Huang’s reading card did not have sufficient authority and could not reach the upper level.

However, when Beitang Ce knew his identity, he gave Ye Xiao special permissions so that he could come directly to the top floor to find him.

"Mr. Ye, how come you have time to come here?"

When Beitang Ce saw Ye Xiao, he immediately stood up and greeted Ye Xiao.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, so I came here today to say goodbye to you."

"Mr. Ye, have you finished your training? Time flies. In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

It's a pity that this old man has to be responsible for guarding Zhongzhou, otherwise I could go back to Jianghai City with Mr. Ye and exchange more pupil skills."

"Time is long, and we will have the chance to meet again in the future."

After a pause, Ye Xiao spoke again:

"I came here this time because I wanted to do something."

"Mr. Ye, please feel free to speak."

"I want to see some imperial arts! This is the Zhongzhou Martial Arts Library, which is also considered to be a relatively large martial arts library in Jiuzhou. There should be imperial arts in here, right?"

Beitang Ce nodded.

"There are indeed imperial arts. However, judging from the imperial arts you possess, you probably don't think highly of the imperial arts here.

The imperial techniques included here are basically not good imperial techniques.

Those supreme imperial arts, passed down for hundreds of years, are all passed down from one person to another, and some have even been lost.”

However, Ye Xiao didn't have any big requirements for this.

He didn't care whether those imperial skills were good or not. Anyway, none of them were as good as his current imperial skills.

The reason why he wanted those imperial techniques was purely to synthesize higher-level skills.

"It's okay. Bring it to me. I'll take a look at it first. Maybe it can be useful to me."

"Okay, since you said that, I'll show it to you first."

After saying that, Beitang Ce stood up, walked to one of the bookshelves, pressed a few times on the side, and soon, the bookshelf opened from the middle, revealing a small safe inside.

Beitang Ce used a series of extremely complex passwords to open the small safe and took out two notebooks from it.

"Hey, these are the two books of imperial arts kept in the Zhongzhou Martial Arts Library."

Ye Xiao: “(_..)!”

He looked at the two small notebooks and fell into deep silence.

In such a huge library, there are only two books on imperial techniques?

Is this a joke? He just saw him opening the bookshelf and the safe.

After doing so many complicated operations, I thought there would be a lot of imperial techniques in it, but I didn’t expect there were only two books.

You know, this is not a small library. It is many times larger than the Jianghai City Library.

Its contents are many times more than Jianghai City Library! There shouldn't be only these two books of imperial arts, right?

Beitang Ce seemed to see through his thoughts, and explained with a bit of a smile:

"There is nothing we can do about this. The Imperial Art is so rare. How many people are there in all the Divine Sects in the world?

Moreover, among so many divine sects, there are some people who have never even seen the imperial art.

Apart from those passed down in the family, there are only imperial skills awarded as rewards by the state.

Even the Kyushu Library does not contain too many imperial techniques.

However, if you really want to find the imperial technique, there is another way."

"What is the solution?"

Ye Xiao was startled. Extracted from the Grandmaster's technique? Could it be that, like his own Golden Book Spirit, he extracted the most basic techniques from the technique and then merged them into one?

Beitang Ce continued to explain:

"In fact, all the skills are evolved from the Imperial Art. Because the talents of the human race are very different, many people can learn the Imperial Art in one go. But most people, when they see the Imperial Art, it's like looking at a heavenly book, and they have no way of understanding it.

Therefore, our ancestors used differentiation to transform the imperial skills into master-level techniques, and then the master-level techniques were further differentiated.

Eventually, our current cultivation system was established.

From ordinary skills, to extraordinary skills, then to master skills, and finally to the emperor skills. "

After hearing this, Ye Xiao finally understood.

Strictly speaking, the order of the exercises is not from bottom to top, but actually from top to bottom.

Therefore, by using many grandmaster-level skills, it is actually possible to integrate and deduce them to form an imperial technique.

Before, because of the Golden Book's spirit, I seemed to have a cheat code. As long as I read the book casually, I could extract the most basic techniques from it, and then synthesize the imperial techniques. It was too easy to get the things, so I didn't think too much about this problem.

However, if that is the case, shouldn't the Golden Book be able to synthesize other imperial techniques from different skills?

Why can't it continue to use other skills to synthesize the same type of imperial technique after synthesizing one type of imperial technique? Ye Xiao immediately calmed his mind on the golden book's soul. After a careful comparison, he discovered the mystery.

The papers that have been synthesized into imperial techniques are generally thicker than the papers that record ordinary techniques.

The total amount of paper in the Golden Book is limited.

This means that the synthetic skills are limited, not infinite.

And when several or dozens of skills were combined into the imperial technique, the papers recording the origin and basic skills of this type of skills were actually also merged together.

For example, to synthesize sword techniques, a total of nine basic sword techniques are needed. After the synthesis, in addition to one piece of paper used to record the synthesized imperial technique, the remaining papers will be synthesized into two thicker papers used to imprint the imperial technique.

This thicker paper may contain the most basic techniques, so it records the same imperial techniques.

For example, the paper for synthesizing sword skills can only record the imperial-level sword skills. The paper for synthesizing knife skills, because it contains the basic knife skills, can only imprint the imperial-level knife skills in the future.

It’s just that Ye Xiao hadn’t noticed this before.

No wonder, after the skills are synthesized into the imperial skills, they will not continue to refine the imprint just because of looking at the basic skills, because the paper is fixed, and the golden book will not have to keep synthesizing those rubbish skills.

This also solved a big confusion that Ye Xiao had been having.

That is, the origins of many martial arts are obviously the same, so why does the synthesis of the imperial arts still require different martial arts?

Just like swordsmanship, I have already refined the most basic swordsmanship.

Whether it is the Heaven-Chopping Sword, the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin, or the Imperial Swordsmanship, they are all sword techniques.

They all cannot escape the most basic sword techniques, such as stabbing, chopping, slashing, and sweeping. However, they are still classified as different sword techniques in the Golden Book.

This illustrates one point, that although the imperial-level skills have gone beyond the scope of ordinary skills, they may be different in some aspects.

Maybe it's the way it's cast?

For example, there is only one sword in the Heaven-Slaying Sword, while there are ten thousand swords in the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin, and there are one hundred and eight swords in the Imperial Sword Technique?

Or maybe, is it the secret of the martial arts or something?

Ye Xiao couldn't quite figure this out, but there must be something different about the imperial-level skills.

Ye Xiao now understood two things.

First, after the Golden Book is combined into an imperial technique, the paper that records the basic technique will also be combined, but it will be white paper, and will also have the basic attributes of this type of technique, and then wait to be imprinted with other imperial techniques of the same type.

However, after synthesizing a basic formula once, you will never be able to synthesize a basic formula again.

Second, even if those skills are not included in the Golden Book, it does not mean that they have no effect.

They may indeed have the same basic techniques, for example, the sword technique is one of the seven basic sword techniques, but they can still be synthesized into other imperial sword techniques. However, this requires one to analyze and extract it by themselves, and cannot be done through cheating through the Golden Book Soul.

However, this is also a good thing. At least, I can use the library to continue searching for master-level skills and then synthesize them.

"Mr. Ye? Mr. Ye?"

Seeing that Ye Xiao was still in a daze, Beitang Ce couldn't help but shout out twice.

Ye Xiao came back to his senses.

"Mr. Ye, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I just feel a little troubled."

Beitang Ce chuckled.

"Who says it's not true? It's easy to split the imperial technique into a grandmaster technique, but it's difficult to combine the grandmaster technique into the imperial technique."

Three more watches, nine thousand.

Sorry for the late update today. I was too stupid. My hand was pinched by the elevator. I went to the hospital and am back now. I am working hard and there will be no less updates today.

Please give me recommendation votes and monthly votes.

Thanks to book friends Duan Yajian, Back/maple, and Yu Yu Yu 123 for their rewards, thank you very much.
