Imperial God Emperor 655 - The Palace Lord personal training

Chapter 655, The Palace Lord personal training
Because Luo Yi, with one glance, already knew that the sword technique that Ye Qingyu had given him was incomparably exquisite, unrivalled, and far beyond his initial most optimistic imagination.
And more importantly, the sword technique contained the Dao, seeking after a realm similar to the Dao. It was a type of cultivation for a swordsman’s mind. There was sword and also no sword, the sword was in the heart to cultivate the heart!
As a martial artist who trained with the sword, Luo Yi understood that this realm of cultivation was incomparably mysterious, and cannot be achieved overnight. If one’s cultivation level reached the peak, then their power could almost rival that of legendary Immortal Step experts!
Although it was just a superficial reading, but as an expert of the sword, he had come into contact with many swords in his life. With just one glance he could tell how terrifying the Limitless Sword Way was. Although the text was simple, the inner meaning was extremely profound, and most likely more so than those ancient books of the legendary martial artists.
The brilliance on the blue-green jade scroll was fading slowly.
Luo Yi forcibly controlled his mind, awakening from the shock that the Limitless Sword Way gave him.
Although he wasn't holding a particularly heavy jade scroll, his hand was shaking incessantly.
“Thank you, Palace Lord. Lord's kindness, subordinate does not know how to repay you. In the future, even if subordinate needs to risk my life for you I will not hesitate to do so!” Luo Yi's voice trembled, as he knelt down, but there was incomparable determination.
Ye Qingyu burst into a hearty laughter upon hearing this, pushing his hand upwards and an irresistible invisible force lifted Luo Yi up. “Haha, the reason I transferred you to Light City is not for you to die for me, but for you to be a part for the future of Light City, for the Empire. No matter where you are, your duty is with the Snow Empire, and not I, the Lord of the Light Palace....Well, you should train without any burden. In seven days, I will leave the capital, you come with me. Later on you go back to say farewell to your family and come back to the Light City to train tomorrow.”
“Yes,” Luo Yi loudly answered.
His heart was being struck with excitement, he felt like his head was spinning around, and even his reaction was half a second slow. He who had always paid utmost attention to etiquette, unexpectedly forgot to address Ye Qingyu deferentially.
Ye Qingyu looked at the expressionless Luo Yi and could not help smiling.
Luo Yi's aptitude was not bad, and his personality was simple and kind like a newborn baby. It seemed that he did not choose the wrong person.
Then, Ye Qingyu issued an order to summon Gao Han into the palace. He instructed Gao Han to bring Luo Yi to receive his cultivation supplies, and then to familiarize him with the environment of the Light City.
Gao Han received the order and led the sluggish Luo Yi out of the hall.
……
Outside the main hall.
Two figures slowly headed down the bright white steps suspended above the Underground Fire Spring Sword Pit.
A green-clothed Gao Han was walking in front with a smile on his face while Luo Yi closely followed behind.
As they were walking, Gao Han said with a smile, “You should have more or less seen the layout of Light City when you came in. Later on I will take you around again to introduce you to everyone. The other matters are explained in the official seal. You can slowly familiarize yourself with them. Don’t worry, if there is anything that you do not understand, you can always ask me,” e explained very patiently.
Although he did not know why Palace Lord Ye would transfer this young Blazing Flame officer over, but Gao Han understood his superior very well. He never spoke without thinking, which indicated that Luo Yi must have some sort of special trait that caught Ye Qingyu’s attention for him to be favoured like that.
So Gao Han was also extremely polite to this newcomer of Light City.
But at this time, Luo Yi still had not completely snapped out from the surprise that the Limitless Sword Way brought.
Hearing Gao Han's words, he only nodded dazedly, until he suddenly realized that he was behind Gao Han and he could not see him nodding, hurriedly added, “Thank you for taking care of me.”
Gao Han slightly smiled. “You're welcome.”
Then, he took Luo Yi from the Underground Fire Spring Sword Pit, through the Fire Tree Woods, and then circled around the core area of the Light City. During that time he also introduced Luo Yi to Divine General Gong Gao Diping, Yang Henshui, Bai Yuanxing, Jin Ling’er, Li Ying, and the others.
Besides being ecstatic, Luo Yi courteously greeted everyone. He was natural and dignified and did not lose his grace. Even Gao Han could not help but compliment the young man in his mind for assuming the role so quickly.
Gao Han then showed Luo Yi around the entire Light City.
In detail, he briefed Luo Yi on the role and significance of each region of Light City, as well as the matters to pay attention to. Whenever Luo Yi had questions, as long as it did not affect the prohibition and secrets, and were not matters out of Luo Yi’s scope for now, he frankly answered and did not hide anything he knew. He made the anxious newcomer Luo Yi much more relaxed and gave him a much greater understanding of the Light Palace.
Finally, Gao Han brought Luo Yi to a tall building in the core western area of the Light Palace.
Along the way, the majority of the halls where connected in rows, and only this palace was on its own, quietly standing tall on the spacious and empty square.
Luo Yi couldn't help guessing what kind of place this was.
Gao Han glanced at the puzzled-looking Luo Yi, and then explained with a smile, “This is the core treasury, after the reconstruction of Light City, all important materials are stored here.”
Luo Yi’s face lit up with understanding, carefully studying the treasury.
The treasury had three floors and looked plain and unpretentious, with only a few ornate decorations and windows compared to the average building. The front of the treasury was covered with two tattered wooden doors, with a rusty copper lock hanging in the middle.
Gao Han led Luo Yi through the square before the treasury, stopping before the entrance.
Just as Luo Yi was thinking what kind of key could open that rusty copper lock, Gao Han only gently gave a slight push to the door.
Creak!
The wooden door opened.
But it was not pushed open from the middle of the two wooden doors, Gao Han simply did not use a key.
Or rather he didn't need a key at all.
Because with a gentle push from Gao Han, the doors were slid open on both sides.
Luo Yi stared at it blankly, asking, “Lord Gao, this door was deliberately set up to mislead the enemy?”
Gao Han suddenly thought of something, an indescribable smiling expression surfaced onto his face, sighing lightly, “This door was broken by Lord's battle pet Little Nine. It had been repaired several times, but was destroyed after. In the end, the doors were simply made into a sliding door, and was not locked again.”
Luo Yi looked astonished, his lips trembling, but did not know what to say, and finally only responded with an embarrassed smile.
Gao Han had become inured to the unusual, guided Luo Yi into the treasury.
Although there was no window, the inside of the hall was very bright.
The main hall of the treasury was lined with more than ten rows of tall shelves, and the shelves were stacked with varying sizes of small boxes.
Gao Han removed a palm-sized box from one of the shelves, bringing it over to Luo Yi.
He gently opened the box, and a faint silvery glow emanated from the small box.
A silver wrist guard laid quietly in the box. It was carved with simple patterns and markings, looking plain but stylish, and without too much fancy and showy decorations.
Gao Han smiled. “This is the standard storage wrist guard of the Light City, inside there is a standard spirit-level armour, which is a product refined by the Palace Lord himself. You cannot find it anywhere else, even the imperial army does not have one. During battles, it can bring out a mysterious effect, you can try it yourself later. Also, you can wear it when you attend some formal occasions, but in normal days you can wear your own clothing. The other stuff are some resources for cultivation, besides divine Origin crystals, other resources can be collected every month, you can take a closer look.”
Luo Yi was once again astonished when he heard this.
Spirit-level armour and divine Origin crystals?
He doubted whether he had heard it wrong, but there was not the slightest joking expression on Gao Han's face.
Gao Han moved the box closer to Luo Yi and nodded, motioning him to take the wrist guard.
A little taken aback, he slowly reached into the box and took out the silver wrist guard, nervously slipped it onto his wrist, and then injected a trace of yuan qi into the wrist guard.
The next moment, he was stricken with amazement again.
There really was a sparkling and crystal divine-level Origin crystal in the wrist guard, weighing a full fifty grams!
In the past, all he used for cultivation were common Origin crystals. It was only until he entered the [Blazing Flame Battalion]n that he would receive a certain quantity of the highest quality of Origin crystal. He had only heard of divine-level Origin crystal before and had never seen one in person.
It was no exaggeration to say that the energy contained in fifty grams of divine-level Origin crystal was comparable to one hundred kilograms of the best origin crystals. Moreover, it was incredibly pure, more easily absorbed and refined. Therefore, it had always been a priceless treasure. Although he had just come to the Light Palace, he was allowed to enjoy fifty grams of divine Origin crystal; it was unbelievable!
In addition to divine Origin crystals, there was an exquisite silver armour.
The armour style was more of a light armour, constructed from a material similar to metal, but was very light and with no sense of heaviness, sparkling brightly all over. The critical areas were engraved with delicate decorative patterns, looking very beautiful.
Luo Yi careful examined it and found that the armour, although light and beautiful, secretly contained a certain kind of formation. There was an imperceptible fluctuation of yuan qi being emitted. Just as Gao Han had said, it was unmistakably a spirit-level weapon.
More importantly was that it was personally refined by Palace Lord Ye himself. It was definitely priceless, and most likely was only reserved for the use of people of the Light City and were incomparably rare.
In addition to divine Origin crystals and armour, the wrist guard also contained five hundred kilograms of the highest quality Origin crystals and pill medicines with various effects.
Looking down closely, Luo Yi smacked his lips incessantly.
It did not occur to him that the cultivation resources of the Light Palace were so much more extravagant than the [Blazing Flame Battalion], no wonder that the cultivation of anyone in the Light City was several times better than that of ordinary people. The degree of evildoer was one higher than the other, and it turns out that likewise, there were also such strong and solid resources!
After a long while, Luo Yi heaved a long sigh, resuming calm, and said in an embarrassed tone, “It is subordinate’s first time seeing divine-level Origin crystals, and lost my composure, please excuse me.”
Gao Han smiled, “Don't worry, these things are now yours, you accept it, as long as you work hard, these resources are not wasted.”
After that, he closed the box, turning around to put the small box back onto the original shelf.
“Come on, I'll show you out. We're done here for today, you go home first, come back again tomorrow morning,” Gao Han said, heading over to the door.
“Yes, subordinate understands.”
Luo Yi was still a little dizzy as he followed Gao Han and left the treasury together——
