In the following days, Li Yan would come almost every few days to check the progress of the project, and try to contact Qiu Yan to ask him to accept him, but the results were minimal.

However, Li Yan helped Qiu Yan, and it was impossible for Qiu Yan to disappear on the same side, so during this period, he actually had some contact and was entangled by Li Yan every time, saying that he had made those mistakes because he was young and did not worry about it in the past.

However, in Qiu Yan's opinion, the prince's temperament was really changed and it was impossible to be easily convinced by the other party, but if he was too entangled, he would inevitably have to come up with some solutions. So in the open space outside the courtyard, the word "Nine Palaces" was left on the ground.

Two characters are completed and strange phenomena arise. Anyone who believes in the word "On" will be affected by the various changes in it. Whether it is thoughts or the five senses, they are greatly impacted. However, people with a little bit of cultivation know the value of these two characters.

That is to say, Li Yan, who is born with dragon energy to protect his body, can ignore the pressure of all kinds of strange phenomena, clear away the clouds and mist, observe carefully, and then get a glimpse of the mystery.

However, when Qiu Yan asked Li Yan what he saw, Li Yan replied, "It seems that one of them was walking on foot." When Qiu Yan heard this, he said, "Since that's the case, the prince might as well just treat these two words as step-by-step methods, which is called the Nine Palace Step. If he can achieve a small success, Qiu will talk to the prince in detail."

Li Yan naturally heard the subconscious intention in these words, but since he could not see deeper things, he naturally could not ask for too much. He followed Qiu Yan's words and said that he had to learn these Nine Palace Steps.

However, as the prince, Li Yan has been frugal with wealth since childhood. Now he seems mature, but he is still not very old. In the past, he was mostly dancing with swords and swords, and he has not even practiced formal martial arts much. Now he suddenly has to master the Nine Palaces footwork. It is really not easy.

But Li Yan was a little resilient and guided by some martial arts books in the palace books. After all, he still made achievements in the end. In addition, he often asked the surrounding guards and masters of the inner ranks, but the entry was not slow.

Moreover, Qiu Yan also knew about the general situation of the prince, so he sent Qiu An from the family to give him some advice and show fairness. Of course, Qiu An was actually supervising the worker and paying attention to the construction of the academy at all times, because although he did not systematically learn the way of knowledge and action and could not actively guide craftsmen, his realm was sufficient. As long as he had realized the realm needed by Qiu Yan, as long as there was a slight deviation, he would notice the distortion of the artistic conception. He would stop it and wait for Qiu Yan to come over to correct it.

Over time, Li Yan and Qiu An were also familiar with each other. The attitude towards Qiu An changed. Qiu An often dressed up as a servant. At first, he did not pay attention to the prince, but just regarded him as an ordinary servant. It was only because of Qiu Yan's face that Li Yan showed a certain respect.

But soon, he noticed Qiu An Feifan's skills and cultivation. He could reach such a level in a place where dragon energy suppressed such as the capital. Although Li Yan could not estimate the actual cultivation level. However, he knew it was extraordinary, so he really made friends and asked him about the principles of martial arts and the Nine Palace Steps.

Now, after hearing what Li Yan said, Qiu An pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, my master left two words. Although you see the Nine Palace Steps from it, if you want to truly control the acquisition, you still cannot simply stay on footwork and martial arts. When broadening your horizons and looking at them from a broader perspective, you may have unexpected gains and can also help you master them better and faster."

"So that's the case," Li Yan thoughtfully after hearing this, "Thank you for Master Qiu's reminder. It really woke up the dreamer." Li Yan was not unaware of the meaning of Qiu An's words before, but these things need to be understood and explored after trying them step by step.

Seeing Li Yan's response, Qiu An nodded, said no more, then raised his hand and grabbed it, gathering the dust floating around him, covering the two characters of Nine Palaces again.

These two words contain a trace of Qiu Yan's will, which ordinary people cannot bear at all. In and outside the courtyard, both craftsmen and merchants transporting stones are just physical bodies. Even the followers and guards that Li Yan often brings may not be able to bear, so the two words must be covered up to prevent them from affecting others' minds.

After finishing all this, Qiu An and Li Yan walked into the hospital together to watch the progress of the project.

A few hours later, about noon, Li Yan bid farewell to Qiu An and returned to the palace.

As time passes, the sun moves in the sky and finally settles in the west, falling into the horizon, and is no longer visible. In the middle of the moon, the faint moonlight shines everywhere.

The courtyard was so busy during the day that it became quiet at this time, but most of the craftsmen did not leave, but set up tents and slept in a designated area in the yard. Waiting for the east to turn white tomorrow, they had to get up and continue working as soon as possible.

This is not because the prince squeezed them, but because Qiu Yan gave them a high reward. They wanted to get the remaining money as soon as possible and wait for the New Year to come with peace of mind.

When the last craftsman closed his eyes and fell into a dream, the place suddenly became silent.

But soon, the silence was interrupted by a strange sound-

Rush rust...

It was the sound of the grass being pushed apart. Before the sound had fallen, a few figures came from a nearby forest. About five people, each of them were agile, wearing dark tights, covering their mouths and noses, wrapping their heads, and only revealing their eyes.

After they appeared, they stood quietly, looking as if they were waiting for something, and they seemed to be observing the surroundings.

After waiting for a few breaths, perhaps because they felt that there was no danger, the five figures acted again. Just as the subtle sound of breaking through the air, the five figures had arrived in front of the courtyard gate, but did not take any further action, but stayed in the open space in front of the courtyard gate.

"It's here, the ink treasure left by Mr. Qiu is here!" One of them said this, and then someone took out a bronze mirror from his arms and shook it carefully at the moonlight.

Just as I heard the "rubbing" sound, the surface of the bronze mirror was stained with moonlight, but it did not scatter the light, but converged on the mirror, making it brighter and brighter.

At this time, someone asked again: "Senior Brother, what you said is true? Can these two words underground help us understand the great way?"

The man holding a bronze mirror kept his movements unchanged, but said, "There is no mistake. Before the master passed away, he told me to pay attention to the movements of Marquis Qiu. When the Marquis wrote humanitarian scriptures outside the pass, many people in the Middle Earth Taoist Sect were moved and went to the grassland outside the border. I am one of them..."

His voice was very low, as thin as a mosquito. Even if ordinary people listened intently, they would probably not be able to hear a few words clearly. However, the four people around them all listened intently and seemed to be unaffected.

"...The Marquis had long disappeared on the grassland, but the Marquis had abnormal spiritual fluctuations in the place where the Marquis wrote books. Many monks went there. At that time, people from the seven major sects had been present, and after various explorations, they discovered clues. They found some secrets of martial arts from the land that the Marquis had established. They had no reputation at that time, and later they were called the "Hanlin Remnants", which is the martial arts I taught you before to lay the foundation."

Immediately, one person exclaimed: "Really, false? Our foundation-building skills are actually of this origin? This is too legendary!" This was obviously the first time this person has heard of this incident. Judging from his voice, he was not old.

However, the other three people were not very strange, and they seemed to have known it for a long time.

The person holding the mirror continued, "This is absolutely true. After Master passed away, we were excluded by the sect. Several junior brothers could not even get the skills. If the senior sister had no reputation, we might have been driven out of the mountain gate. The foundation-building method in our sect requires special medicinal food, but I don't know this recipe. In this case, Brother Wei couldn't bear to watch you enter the Taoist sect and could not obtain the skills, so he could only make this worst."

Others whispered and comforted each other, and they were also like mosquitoes, but they showed a little trace than the person who showed the mirror. From this, it can be seen that this is actually a method of transmitting sounds.

The person holding the mirror said again: "You junior brothers and sisters don't need to comfort me as brothers. I was impulsive at that time, but then I realized that it was amazing. Although the foundation-building method of Mr. Qiu was mysterious and could make us quicker in spirit, it had to cooperate with the principles of knowledge and action to continue to achieve the state of state. What's wrong with the basic manuscripts circulating on the market are ultimately biased towards humanity, and they are too different from our path to seeking immortality. Often, reading a book can only bring subtle gains."

"Now, with the help of the foundation-building method, we have created a reputation in the master's sect and even shine in the competition in the sect, but there are hidden dangers. In the future, the disciples of the seven major sects will have to try together, which is extremely dangerous. Among them, there are many top young masters who have entered the second realm and even refined the three souls and four souls. If we cannot improve our cultivation as soon as possible, we may find it difficult to survive in the next trial, let alone gain something!"

"After all, the son of the elder in the sect who was offended by us had long been eyeing us and always wanted to kill us! He must make up his mind for this trial!"

Listening to these words, the voice of the slightly younger man sounded again: "So that's the case. No wonder, Senior Brother, you asked me to wait for the capital this time and then inquire about Mr. Qiu everywhere!"

Before he finished speaking, the person holding the mirror took back his hand and pinched a seal on his chest.

Suddenly, the light on the surface of the bronze mirror suddenly expanded, then scattered, falling on the surrounding land. A little luster appeared on the dust. The light gradually spread, following some trace, and it seemed that someone was writing! (To be continued)

ps: I went out today, but I couldn’t come back on time. I sent one first. Chapter 2 is in the process. I will put the thank you list in the next chapter to count.
