The three clerks looked tense, their faces filled with fear. None of them looked remotely capable of stealing a first-class internal skill manual.
Yang Ling opened their Attribute Panels and took a look, only to discover that not one of them had cultivated a first-class internal skill.
Two cultivate third-rate inner cultivation methods, and one cultivates a second-rate internal skill...
Right, first-class internal skills aren't backward compatible. Unless they cripple their existing cultivation methods, even if they get their hands on a first-class internal skill, they can't begin cultivating it by dripping blood on it.
Understanding dawned on Yang Ling, and his gaze grew a little graver.
When he first learned the details of the case, he had instinctively assumed that checking these three fellows' Attribute Panels would let him identify the thief.
After all, if it were him, he would have cultivated the first-class internal skill as soon as he got it. Only that way could he keep it completely undetected.
Fortunately, I can use the Insight Technique four times, and there are only three targets. That's enough.
But if none of these three is the real target, this case won't be solved today. I'll have to enter the palace with Seal-Holding Eunuch He.
Yang Ling narrowed his eyes slightly.
Whatever happened, he still had the secret technique Attract Wealth and Treasure if he ran into danger. By making use of the Green Dragon Ring's properties, staying alive until the mission instance ended would be no problem.
He immediately used the Insight Technique on the three of them.
