The chest was from an ancient time, similar to what royalty used to hold their elixirs and bibles It wasn’t locked, and Lin Yi opened it with ease

He was breathing heavily at this point, his eyes ith anticipation Inside the chest was a scroll made of silk

He took the scroll out of the chest, and noticed a small piece of jade at the bottoh quality jade, with a mysterious pattern etched on it It wasn’t the ancient text, so Lin Yi didn’t understand what iton the scroll was different from the one etched on the jade

He was puzzled- the stone tablets and the scroll had the sa- only the jade was exempt from that rule

Lin Yi took the jade to the oldabout its purpose Unexpectedly, the old man didn’t know All he did was stare at it, equally surprised himself

Much more surprised than when Lin Yi showed him the chest

He came to the conclusion that the jade had to be related to the scroll, and subsequently, the training to master the art He decided to have it with him at all times

The scroll disappointed Lin Yi a little when he unrolled it- it was thin, and the size of a scarf

Lin Yi’s experience with Wuxia novels, however, told hih level techniques required only a piece of human skin to write down With that in on Mastery” caught Lin Yi’s eyes instantly It was of the same ancient text from the stone tablets in the cave

Below the title was a line of se: Silkworm in the Sky The main text followed after: “Mortals weren’t e their fate, grasping…”

Lin Yi went through the text quickly The first stage was divided into the early phase, the mid phase, and the late phase The scroll, however, had only the first stage of “Art of Dragon Mastery” written on it

Lin Yi, of course, understood that there wasn’t only one stage to this art If it was e, then naturally there would be a second and third stage as well

As for where the other scrolls were, Lin Yi wasn’t sure They ht be behind the second set of doors, or somewhere else entirely At any rate, Lin Yi had to finish co else

The introduction to the Art of Dragon Mastery was complex and difficult to understand, but the process of the actual training was very clear, and detailed There were even illustrations of human acupuncture points for him to reference Lin Yi never had any trouble with those, since he’d been practicing kungfu frohts, Lin Yi followed the instructions the first stage gave hi, and he couldn’t possibly have considered anything else beyond the si Old Lin In actuality, there lay a risk: What he was training so hard for s the old ht him already, and incompatibilities like that were a serious matter

Even when Lin Yi would look back years later… The on Mastery” in the first place was because of how cool the naon? Who wouldn’t want to learn so like that?

It wasn’t until much later that Lin Yi realized- it wasn’t martial arts at all
