Chapter 190: Mystic Sword
Standing at the door of the fifth-floor library, Li Bai had already seen that the entrance to the fifth-floor looked much cleaner. The planks on the floor looked like someone had wiped them down, and they were almost spotless.
A mysterious mist enveloped a book, flying around incessantly, as if presumably attracting Lieber's attention.
After reading the content recorded in "The Foundation of Divine Power", Li Bai felt that his attention was more easily concentrated, and his mind became very relaxed.
Slowly approaching the middle of the fifth floor, it is like a traditional Yongkang Empire-style study, with four treasures of study, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and various furnishings. The screen is engraved, calligraphy and painting are complete.
The fog in the room always surrounded Li Bai's head, but kept a distance, as if he was a little afraid of Li Bai.
In many treasure hunts, Li Bai has suffered almost all losses, so he is not in a hurry, but patiently observes to see what the situation is.
He even walked in front of the calligraphy and paintings in the house and pretended to admire them.
Just as Li Bai was looking at a pair of calligraphy on the wall, the fog finally couldn't hold his breath and quietly flew to the back of Li Bai's head.
"Whatever the fog is, it doesn't look very dangerous!"
Through the great exploration of spiritual power and spiritual energy, Li Bai couldn't detect any difference in the mist, and he didn't even have a little spiritual power and aura fluctuation, which was really strange.
If the mist was a special form of "Demonic Beast", Li Bai should be able to feel its existence. However, things did not go as Li Bai thought.
"Is it a magic array?"
Li Bai suddenly thought that if he couldn't perceive it, then there was another possibility, and that was the magic array.
Although magicians also cultivate spiritual power and aura, they can also use the magic power and magic unique to magicians to design magical formations to achieve surprising and winning results.
Li Bai turned slowly, so as not to scare away the mist.
The mist seemed to be still obsessed with the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and it didn't react for a while.
At a closer look, there were actually two black beads wandering in the mist, like a pair of eyes, scurrying back and forth in the mist.
Li Bai reached out to touch the mist.
With a "whoosh", the fog immediately retreated, opening up a safe distance from Li Bai.
Then, the pair of black "eyes" in the mist kept looking at Li Bai, full of vigilance.
"Come here...... I won't hurt your ......"
Li Bai pretended to be kind and innocent, trying to convince the fog to lower his vigilance and get closer to him.
At this moment, the mist suddenly spewed out a wisp of white smoke, and the smoke was mixed with a strange force. After a closer investigation, Li Bai unexpectedly found that the white smoke emitted by the fog was mixed with spiritual power, spiritual energy, and even a power that he was not very familiar with. That strange power is very similar to the description of divine power in "The Foundation of Divine Power", and it must be divine power.
Li Bai slightly released a trace of his aura, like a gossamer, wanting to slowly approach the mist through the white smoke.
Just when Li Bai's aura touched the white smoke, the white smoke instantly moved closer to the wisp of aura, and then immediately devoured the aura.
"Devoured? How do you think you've seen it somewhere?"
Li Bai felt surprised, trying to recall the place where the scene that was engulfed in front of him was suppressed.
"Spirit Devouring Yang Fruit!"
He suddenly remembered the black pine cone that his aunt had given him many years ago, when the Black Blood Saint used the Spirit Devouring Yang Fruit to devour spiritual power, the situation was the same as when the white smoke devoured the spiritual energy just now.
He tried to connect the two, but had no idea.
Putting away the aura, Li Bai naturally walked towards the mist, just like an ordinary person walking in his study, simple and natural.
Suddenly, the white smoke that erupted from the fog was even more, gradually blocking Li Bai's vision.
Just when Li Bai was shrouded in white smoke, the fire fungus salamander beast on his back actually crawled out quietly.
With a "whoosh", the fire fungus salamander flew out and rushed directly into the white mist.
"Bang!"
In the white mist, a black shadow flashed a red streamer, and the mist slowly began to disperse.
When the fire fungus salamander flew back, it seemed to be able to hear it chewing in its mouth.
It returned to Li Bai's back again, carved between Li Bai's neck and back like a martial arts pattern.
"What's the matter with this fire fungus salamander?"
Li Bai was suddenly very surprised, as if he felt that something was really crawling on his back, and the touch was very real.
In the past, the fire fungus salamander beast only existed as a spirit body, and it was not much different from ordinary spirits, and it did not give Li Bai any touch, but now it had changed so much, which really made him feel strange.
"Smack!"
A book falls from the sky to the ground.
The fence hurriedly stepped forward and looked down at the "Foundations of Magic".
Seeing the fifth book, Li Bai finally couldn't suppress his curiosity.
If these books in the library were the wealth of the Colin Empire, theoretically speaking, Colin should not have become so weak and faced the situation he had been nine years ago. If the books in the library were not the wealth of the Colin Empire, then the appearance of the library would have become suspicious.
The Book Pavilion appeared after the Colin Civil War, and also when Wormett's dead air was in the air.
Could it be that Shuge also has something to do with what happened nine years ago?
When I opened "The Basics of Magic", I saw that it was indeed a basic explanation of magic and magicians, which can be said to be a simple introduction book. However, the introduction of the source of magic is somewhat vague, or it is said that the compiler of the book is deliberately withholding some information.
What's even more strange is that Li Bai only flipped through it, and "The Foundations of Magic" disappeared into thin air in his hands.
With a "whoosh", a light array appeared on the soles of Li Bai's feet, and he was sent to the sixth floor of the Library.
The sixth floor of the Book Pavilion was much more empty than before, but it was also darker. It looked like he was in some underground chamber, and Li Bai was in the middle of the chamber just now.
Compared to the previous five floors, the sixth floor gives people a cold feeling.
In the secret room, the walls around him were so dark that Li Bai couldn't see the material of the walls.
In front of him, there was a stone platform, on which was placed a square bronze vessel.
At first glance, it looks like an altar.
In the middle of the altar, there stood a sword. Half of the blade is exposed, and the other half is inserted in a bronze vessel on a stone platform.
Walking to the stone platform, Li Bai looked at the sword intently.
"Buzz!"
After just a glance, the blade actually made a strange sound, as if it sensed Li Bai's existence.
Could this be the treasure that the Venus Boy is looking for?
The sword in the stone table, the body of the sword is dark, and it looks like it is full of stains because it is pasted with a layer of black oil, which should be the result of not being cleaned for many years.
Li Bai condensed a trace of aura at his fingertips and gently passed it into the sword body.
The sword body does not react.
"There shouldn't be any problems!"
Li Bai guessed and boldly stretched out his hand, ready to pull out the sword in the stone platform vessel.
"Wait!"
A rough voice came out of Li Bai's head, and immediately stopped him.
