Chapter 184 Oh, it seems I made a profit!
Even Lin Bai couldn't help but feel nervous when he stepped into the attic for the first time.
He took careful steps, keeping his feet slightly apart, trying to keep his balance.
Because of the slight sway of this suspended attic and the bottomless abyss below, there is no room for carelessness.
Under my feet were smooth yet slightly rough stone bricks, densely engraved with strange patterns.
Even in the daytime, the entire attic exudes a gloomy and eerie atmosphere that makes people shudder.
The attic does not sway too much in the wind, with a frequency of about once every five seconds.
If you close your eyes, it won't affect your balance too much.
Of course, this degree of shaking poses no threat at all to the well-trained Lin Bai.
Just walking, there is still a strange sense of incongruity.
The deeper he went, the more Lin Bai felt that this attic was unusual.
Whether it is the mysterious patterns everywhere or the ancient atmosphere in the air, all of them indicate its extraordinary origin.
Especially when he stepped into the attic just now, Lin Bai clearly felt a strange energy fluctuation...
It was as if something was secretly watching his every move.
"Hey, it seems there is something interesting going on here."
With a confident arc on his lips, Lin Bai's eyes showed even stronger fighting spirit.
He has always been eager to try this kind of unknown challenge.
After all, only in danger can a person's greatest potential be stimulated.
What's more, the current environment is absolutely perfect for improving cultivation.
Thinking of this, Lin Bai couldn't help but quicken his pace.
He couldn't wait to explore the attic and see what unparalleled secrets were hidden inside.
However, before he could take a few steps, a sudden change interrupted his train of thought.
Just heard a "puff" sound...
A faint blue flame suddenly shot out from the wall and landed squarely on a candle that had been prepared long ago.
“What’s going on?”
Lin Bai opened his eyes wide in surprise. In his opinion, the fire could not appear without any reason.
Moreover, this strange blue flame is unheard of and never seen before.
Just as he was puzzled, the second and third candles were lit one after another.
In an instant, the entire attic was shrouded in a faint blue halo.
The most amazing thing is that all the candles were lit at the same time, as if someone had carefully planned everything.
With the help of this mysterious blue fire, Lin Bai was able to see the entire interior of the attic.
This is a small square space with walls as black as ink and no windows.
There was no other furnishings except a stone table in the center. The whole space was filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere that was suffocating.
"Huh? What is that?"
Lin Bai's pupils suddenly shrank as his eyes swept across the stone table.
Looking closely, I saw a yellowed ancient book placed upright in the center of the table.
The book looked very old, exuding a sense of vicissitudes of time.
There was no title on the cover, only a strange pattern embroidered in gold thread.
The whole book is not too thick, only about a few dozen pages.
Seeing this thing, Lin Bai walked over almost reflexively.
The moment his fingers touched the pages of the book, a strange feeling instantly spread throughout his body.
The whole person seems to be surrounded by this ancient atmosphere...
Lin Bai picked up the ancient book from the stone table with trepidation, and his breathing slowed down involuntarily.
It can be seen that he was full of curiosity and awe about this sudden discovery.
"Could this be the legendary Immortal Sword Manual?"
Lin Bai muttered to himself as he gently stroked the yellowed pages of the book.
There was a hint of excitement in his eyes that was hard to conceal.
As a senior kendo enthusiast, he certainly knew the importance of this sword manual.
The Manual of the Immortal-Slaying Sword is the sect's treasure of the Immortal-Slaying Pavilion.
According to legend, this sword manual records the peerless sword skills accumulated by the Zhanxian Pavilion over thousands of years, and is the holy book of cultivation that countless sword practitioners dream of.
If one could comprehend the mysteries, even if one could understand just one or two, it would be enough to enable one to soar into the sky and wipe out thousands of enemies with a sword.
And now, this sword manual, which can be called a rare treasure, lies quietly in his hands.
An indescribable excitement instantly overwhelmed Lin Bai's heart. With his hands trembling slightly, he carefully turned the first page.
Everywhere you look, you can see dense ancient Chinese characters. The handwriting is vigorous and powerful, and you can tell at a glance that it was written by a master.
Even though the years have left mottled traces, they still cannot conceal the charm contained in it.
"This word...why does it look familiar to me?"
Lin Bai frowned as he carefully examined the contents of the sword manual.
He always felt that he had seen this ancient text somewhere before, but he couldn't put his finger on it for a moment.
Just as Lin Bai was concentrating on studying the sword manual, he suddenly made a surprising discovery that made his eyes widen instantly.
On the title page of this sword manual, the three characters "Zhanxian Pavilion" were clearly written!
Below these three words is a line of even more eye-catching small words:
"Since you are here, you should understand the mystery. One day you will be famous all over the world and sweep across the wilderness with your sword!"
“Oh my god, what…what’s going on?”
Seeing his name appear in this ancient sword manual, Lin Bai couldn't help but take a breath.
An indescribable emotion instantly filled his heart.
Surprise, ecstasy, confusion, all kinds of thoughts intertwined together, leaving him at a loss for a moment.
His eyes scanned back and forth across the line of words, almost staring a hole in the paper.
After a long time, Lin Bai came back to his senses. He pinched his arm hard, fearing that all this was just a dream.
When he felt the pain, he finally confirmed that everything before his eyes was real.
"This is really weird! This sword manual actually predicted my arrival long ago?"
Lin Bai muttered to himself, countless questions flashing through his mind.
Could it be that the fact that I was fortunate enough to obtain this sword manual was not accidental, but was predestined?
This thought made him both excited and a little nervous.
After all, this kind of mysterious experience was beyond his understanding. For a moment, Lin Bai didn't know what to do.
After a while, he gradually calmed down. His eyes became firm again.
Taking a deep breath, he gently closed the sword manual and carefully put it in his arms.
"No matter what, it is a great opportunity for me, Lin Bai, to obtain this sword manual. I must not miss it!"
Clenching his fists, Lin Bai secretly vowed that he would do his best to understand the secrets of this sword manual.
Take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to elevate your swordsmanship to an unprecedented level!
Thinking of this, Lin Bai felt an irrepressible excitement rising in his heart.
He couldn't wait to open the sword manual and start practicing immediately, but reason made him hold back his impulse.
