I am a high-level martial arts master.

Inside the Treasure Pavilion at this moment.

As Ye Li came within three feet of the girl, the earring quickly entered a huge logical malfunction.

The expert who created this bell wrote detection rules into it during the creation process.

Strange Tales of Rules:

1. A person can only have one entry.

2. Each entry has only one quality.

3. A soft sound will be heard when encountering a blue item; no sound will be heard when encountering an item higher than blue; otherwise, the bell will ring normally.

4. Those who do not possess the above characteristics cannot be human.

5. Ye Li should be a person.

……

These are the basic rules of this fortune-telling bell.

Even that expert didn't expect that there was such a divine being as Ye Li, who possessed three attributes: green, white, and dazzling colors.

The Fate-Calculating Bell discovered the concepts of triphase and uncertainty principle in Ye Li.

He could sense that the "human" beside him possessed three entries.

When it detected white and green, it should shake, but it also sensed an entry on Ye Li whose quality could not be measured.

If this term cannot be detected, then it cannot be shaken, but Ye Li also has white and green varieties.

So, should we shake it or not?

At this moment, the Fate-Predicting Bell encountered a paradox in Ye Li's case.

Just as if trapped in self-reference, the fortune-telling bell is simultaneously in a superposition state of being shaken and not shaken.

Fortune Telling Bell: Am I going to die too?

Ding-Buzz-

A high-frequency, piercing buzzing sound suddenly exploded in Jiang Xiyue's ears.

The loud buzzing made her furrow her brows, instinctively tilt her head to the side, and stagger.

"Miss Jiang, are you alright?"

Upon seeing this, Ye Li subconsciously took the girl's slender arm and looked at the blue bell in her hair with a strange expression.

He's not well-educated, yet this thing, forged using purely ancient methods, can still produce a high-frequency buzzing sound?

"Miss Jiang, where did you buy this bell? Do you sell them in this pavilion?"

"Thank you, sir, but this is a family heirloom, and we don't sell it here."

Jiang Xiyue withdrew her hand, thanked him, and looked up at Ye Li with an unprecedentedly strange gaze.

She received this fortune-telling bell when she was a baby and had it with her ever since. It can detect the quality of astrological terms!

There is no response to ordinary entries. If a blue entry is encountered within three feet, the bell will gradually decrease. If a purple entry or higher is encountered, the bell will stop abruptly.

She had encountered geniuses with orange-level keywords before, but she had never heard of such a sudden buzzing sound.

It must be a gold-level attribute, which at most would only silence Qingling. How could this be?

In Jiang Xiyue's mind, the person in front of her was at most a purple-level character, perhaps rare, but not unusual, and would only attract her a little attention.

But this unprecedented situation aroused Jiang Xiyue's intense curiosity about the young man in front of her.

"Fine, if you're not going to sell it, then. But may I ask what the abilities of this treasure are?" Ye Li asked, a hint of suspicion on his face.

The last time the girl's attitude changed, he suspected that he was being secretly admired.

At that moment, the bell around him underwent a drastic change, and even the most oblivious person could sense that something was wrong.

Faced with Ye Li's doubts, Jiang Xiyue calmed herself down, smiled, and whispered:

"This bell lets you see other people's entries!"

"Thump—"

In an instant, Ye Li felt his scalp tingle, his heart suddenly stop, and his pupils contract sharply.

"Silence them!"

This was the first thought that popped into Ye Li's mind after Tang San's personality was identified.

"wrong!"

After a brief moment of panic, he quickly realized the problem:

"If this woman really knew about my entry, wouldn't she kneel down before me, someone with such high qualifications, right away?"

"And why didn't the bell malfunction last time?"

"Either she's framing me, or I can only vaguely make out the sound of her bell."

Thinking of this, under Jiang Xiyue's observation, Ye Li's expression changed slightly before he smiled and said:

"Really? Then I'll ask you, what's my entry for?"

"I don't know about that. You just broke my precious Qingling. I need to ask you what that entry is."

"Of course it's 'exceptionally quick-witted,' what else did you think?" Ye Li retorted.

"Oh~~~ So it's 【Extraordinary wit】, I thought it was just 【Extraordinary wit】."

Jiang Xiyue rolled her eyes: "You're really dishonest, sir. I've already told you the secret, and you're still secretly keeping it from me."

Ye Li smiled without saying a word, but a great weight was quietly lifted from his heart.

It's good that the specific terms haven't been exposed.

Jiang Xiyue gave a coquettish laugh, then turned around with some dissatisfaction, her skirt fluttering as she went to fetch Ye Li's items.

Gazing intently at the graceful figure ahead, Ye Li made unfounded guesses about her identity.

This girl can carry precious treasures with the ability to detect affixes, and she doesn't care if they get damaged.

This kind of wealthy woman could not possibly be the manager of a mere branch of Guangming Baibaoge!

Ye Li recalled that the bell was perfectly fine when he came last time.

Compared to last time, the only difference this time, besides being a level higher in cultivation, is...

Two more entries have appeared on my account!

Suddenly, Ye Li felt a sense of urgency.

I must obtain a hidden keyword!

Otherwise, next time someone has the ability to actively detect keywords, they'll see you looking like a colorful Buddha.

Ye Li's method for obtaining hidden entries is to cultivate a technique that conceals one's aura!

A short while later, Jiang Xiyue came over with a cultivation manual and said, "Hey, this is the 'Stabilizing Essence and Locking Vitality Technique' you wanted. I don't know if you want to buy it outright or on a flexible basis!"

Ye Li knew that because cultivation techniques were precious in this world, their purchase was divided into outright purchase and flexible purchase.

Buying out means purchasing the right to disseminate the technique, while a flexible term means returning it after a certain period of reading and prohibiting its transmission to others.

Advanced cultivation techniques may even involve signing rules and contracts to prevent unauthorized transmission.

The price difference between buyout and demand deposit is hundreds of times!

"I'll choose the current account, how much do you want?" Ye Li asked.

"Two hundred taels can be borrowed for one month, and a promissory note will be signed with the cabinet!"

Jiang Xiyue stated the price clearly, then smiled and said, "This time, there won't be any discounts."

Seeing that the girl still remembered this, Ye Li smiled and asked again, "Does the Treasure Pavilion have any cultivation techniques that can improve aptitude or conceal one's aura?"

"There are indeed a few techniques for concealing one's aura, but we need to retrieve them from branches in other cities. However, techniques for improving one's aptitude are much rarer."

Jiang Xiyue pondered and said, "These cultivation techniques that improve aptitude all require strict conditions. There are almost none that are undamaged, and even if there were, you couldn't afford them now. Each one is worth tens of thousands of gold."

"Is that so..." Ye Li pondered for a moment, then suddenly heard Jiang Xiyue say:

"But you should participate in the Guangming Grand Competition in four months, right?"

"The Guangming Grand Competition?" Ye Li was taken aback, not understanding why the other party was asking this.

He had indeed heard about this competition; it was a place for young people in Guangming City who had only practiced martial arts for three years to exchange and hone their skills, and the time was set for four months from now.

"Don't you know that the winner of this Guangming Grand Competition will receive the 'Marrow Cleansing and Changing Classic Manual' awarded by the Great Xia Dynasty?"

Ye Li: "Huh?"
