Finally Obtaining the Yellow Court Saber Art Visualization Method

Faced with Yongping Emperor's ecstatic joy, the assembled officials all wore complex expressions and forced smiles.

"I never imagined that there were so many great nations beyond my Great Chu! And so many powerful figures like Count Merrick!"

"I am delighted! I am eager to see it!"

"Your Majesty, on this mission, I have brought with me a special treasure of my Kingdom of Lucian — Lucian's Turquoise Solution —to present to Great Chu."

"We hope to establish an alliance, diplomatic relations, and trade with the Great Chu."

After saying that, Vice Minister Qi, who was standing to the side, had already sent someone to hand over the medicine that Lister had prepared in advance.

They only brought a box of ten bottles of C-grade potions, since they were traveling light to find the Great Chu and wouldn't be carrying too many expensive, high-grade potions.

"Count Merrick, what are the effects of this potion?"

"Just like the elixirs of the Great Chu, drinking this potion can immediately and permanently enhance a martial artist's personal strength. However, each person is limited to three bottles; after that, it will have no effect."

"Great! Okay!"

At this moment, whether due to heightened emotions or something else, Yongping Emperor's words and actions appeared somewhat frivolous.

There was an extra touch of enthusiasm and warmth towards Lister.

"In that case, on behalf of the Great Chu, I wish to establish an alliance with the Kingdom of Lucian..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a minister at the very front interrupted him with a worried expression.

"Your Majesty, we can set aside the tribute mission. No one from our Great Chu has ever visited the Kingdom of Lucian, so we have no way of knowing what the country looks like. Perhaps we should reconsider the matter of an alliance?"

"No need!"

"If the Kingdom of Lucian has a powerful figure like Count Merrick, then it must be genuine."

"My mind is made up on this matter; Grand Secretary Wang need not say more."

Lister observed the political situation, and it seemed that the power of the Great Chu Imperial Dynasty was firmly concentrated in the hands of Yongping Emperor.

He could even make decisions on diplomatic relations with other countries with a single word.

However, judging from Yongping Emperor's current behavior, this alliance is probably as worthless as a piece of paper.

It's likely that the storyline of the "Divine Revelation" world will continue as he remembers it.

Lister didn't care about the worthless alliance, since he wasn't truly loyal to the Kingdom of Lucian anyway.

This is just where he laid the foundation.

"Count Merrick saved the people of Jiangxia Prefecture in our Great Chu from the invasion of monsters, and also brought the friendship of the Kingdom of Lucian."

"In that case, I have decided to bestow upon you three secret treasures. You may choose any three from my imperial treasury in a moment."

That's it for today, court is adjourned!

Having said that, Yongping Emperor immediately stood up and left with a satisfied smile on his face.

The palace is indeed quite winding and labyrinthine.

Fortunately, Chief Steward Xia personally led the way, and even took him for a stroll through the front garden.

As for the beauties in his harem, Lister didn't encounter a single one.

After all, the inner treasury wasn't located in the inner palace; it was actually just an inconspicuous room.

There was only an old eunuch guarding the entrance, but after a system scan, it was found that there were no fewer than thirty guards secretly protecting the area, all of whom were at the fourth rank.

This relieved Lister; having learned from the previous experience of the imperial court, he was genuinely afraid that the so-called imperial treasury was full of fakes.

Judging from the current situation, there must be some real substance involved.

"Lord Li, this is the Imperial Treasury."

"As per His Majesty's decree, you may choose any three secret treasures, with a time limit of one hour. This old servant will wait outside."

A small bag of gold coins slipped from Lister's sleeve and was quietly handed to Chief Steward Xia.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do; use money to pave the way.

"Thank you for showing me the way, Chief Steward Xia. This is just a small token of my appreciation for your tea."

"Your Excellency, you are too kind. This old servant would not dare to say anything more, but Consort Noble Consort Yu is not feeling well today, and this old servant will have to go to the Imperial Medical Academy later to inquire. Your Excellency, you may take your time to choose."

Chief Steward Xia smiled broadly, looking very satisfied.

Seeing this, Lister said no more and went into the inner vault alone.

Although it looks unremarkable from the outside, it is dazzling inside.

The walls were covered with all sorts of equipment, mostly tier three or four, all of B-grade (excellent) quality or higher, and there were even a few A-grade (perfect) weapons and armor.

At the same time, there were rows of shelves in front of it, giving it a bit of a library feel.

But what was placed on top wasn't just books and scrolls, but also boxes of precious elixirs.

Among other things, Lister also noticed that to his right as he entered, there was a wooden box with a scroll of calligraphy and books draped over it, which were the three fake treasures.

Ignoring all of this, Lister went straight to the painting area.

Since there is an opportunity to obtain three secret treasures, the immediate priority should be the visualization method.

In the first two acts, what attracts Lister the most is still the passive skills.

"Congratulations, you have discovered 'Hou Zhiyuan's paintings'."

The paintings by ordinary, unremarkable masters were not the kind of visual art he needed.

Seven paintings and calligraphies in a row, all by famous artists from the past of the Great Chu, caused Lister to lose his composure.

Fortunately, the eighth picture was finally worthwhile.

Congratulations, you have discovered the 'Concentration Method Visualization Diagram (Passive, No Rank)'.

[Concentration Method Visualization Method (Passive, No Rank): Increases Intelligence by 1 point per level]

Lister tried to learn it, but unfortunately, the true visualization method was not like the pseudo-visual method of the Yellow Court Saber Art, which could be mastered directly from the start.

This made him abandon his idea of exploiting the bug and continue flipping through the scrolls inside.

"Shadow Step, Sword Heart Saber,..."

Unexpectedly, this painting not only contains Breathing Techniques, but also some martial arts skills.

Having already perused over twenty scrolls of paintings, Lister finally found this genuine book on visualization techniques, and his movements quickened involuntarily.

Congratulations, you have discovered the 'Brute Bull Visualization Method (Passive, No Rank)'.

[Brute Bull Visualization Method (Passive, No Rank): Grants an additional point of Strength per level. (Note: This technique overlaps with Merrick's Breathing Technique and cannot be learned!)]

Lister had anticipated this; in his previous life, he had learned through forums that passive Breathing Techniques with the same effect could not be stacked.

This is also why he didn't try anything with General Zou when he saw that General Zou had this Brute Bull Visualization Method.

Two more rows of scrolls followed, still yielding little result. With only a few scrolls left to be completed, Lister gradually began to feel disappointed.

Fortunately, the next scroll opened, revealing a familiar landscape painting with a katana hanging in the center, which immediately made Lister's breathing quicken.

Quickly start the system scanning. Logically, the fake scroll should be on the outer wooden box, while this scroll should be the real one.

Congratulations, you have discovered the 'Yellow Court Saber Art Visualization Method (Passive, No Rank)'.

[Yellow Court Saber Art Visualization Method (Passive, No Rank): See through illusion and ultimately reach the truth! Each level adds an additional 1% true damage to sword techniques. (Note: Can replace Yellow Court Saber Art Visualization Method) )]

Only then did a smile finally appear on Lister's face.

After going through so many twists and turns, I never expected that I would finally obtain this insight in this way.

I recommend finishing this book; it will be available for purchase tomorrow. If any readers like this book, I hope you can subscribe.

Thank you to everyone who has read this far, and to all the kind people who have given me monthly tickets and recommendation votes!
