There is nothing in the circular room with an eleven-foot diameter. The floors and walls are made of gray bricks, mottled and old, and it seems that they will break into pieces with a slight touch.

Instead of sitting upright like an ordinary Taoist priest, Mu Xingqiu kept punching, and chanting a spell from time to time in his mouth. Over the past three years, he has learned at least fifty punches and hundreds of spells from the pile of old papers, with different effects. For example, now, lightning flashes are constantly emerging from his fists, leaving scratches on the wall.

The scratches will disappear soon, and the grey bricks that look fragile have the ability to repair themselves.

Not far from him, the light blue young demon - he is still used to calling the young demon instead of real fantasy - is the same boxing technique as him, but he can only recite a spell, and it can even say the five words "wrong or weak", but the middle is accompanied by a clicking sound, which looks very messy.

The appearance of the young demon has not changed, but the duration is gradually extending. Now it has reached an hour. When it exists, Mu Xingqiu's practice can achieve double speed, but the frequency is too small every seven days, which has little impact on the overall practice. Apart from this, the young demon has no more special features.

Zuo Liuying, the first director of the Forbidden Secret Department, stood at the door, watching Mu Xingqiu practice boxing, his eyes occasionally turned, and he could always aim at the direction of the young demon. He could not see it. After more than three years, he still saw nothing, but he could feel the existence of the real illusion, never touched or disturbed, but just observed silently every seven days.

The young demon disappeared, Mu Xing's autumn harvest momentum, breathed seven times, completed his practice tonight, and walked to Zuo Liuying.

The two looked similar to each other last year, and Mu Xingqiu was taller and more mature than the other. Therefore, when Mu Xingqiu thought that they were actually a few hundred years apart, he felt very strange.

"The left-handed leader, Hongluke, rejected my application for refining weapons. I heard that it was an order issued by the master himself. I hope... you can tell me."

The relationship between the two has always been very cold and rarely talks with each other. It is quite difficult for Mu Xingqiu to say a simple request for help, and he regrets it as soon as he said it.

Zuo Liuying stared at him without blinking. After a while, she shook her head and turned around and walked out of the room.

The head of the Forbidden Secret Department is ruthless and unrighteous. He is never moved by anything. How could he help an ordinary disciple with a fourth level of breath? Mu Xingqiu shook his head in despair and walked into the aisle. Zuo Liuying was gone.

The circular room is located on the seventeenth floor. Mu Xingqiu walked down and met Lan Qizhang on the seventh floor. The two nodded to each other, but no one spoke.

Lan Qizhang is a Taoist priest in his seventies in the forbidden secret science. He is only twenty-seven or eight years old in terms of appearance. He is the guardian of Fangfang in the realm of swallowing smoke.

Mu Xingqiu doesn't like him and will never ask him for help.

Lan Qizhang has a handsome face and a square nose. He is the kind of person who looks like a fairy at first sight. The rare thing is that he is kind and always has an approachable smile on his face, and he seems to be able to meet every request. But he seems to care too much about the identity of the "protector", and often lingers between Mu Xingqiu and Fangfang to prevent them from meeting. The reason is always the same: she is practicing.

Fangfang does need a lot of time to practice, but Mu Xingqiu still thinks it is strange. Practice is a voluntary chore, and forcing is useless. Lan Qizhang made too many decisions for Fangfang.

He continued to walk down and came to the fifth floor of Langhuan Blessing Land, which is the collection of books of Pangshan Daotong. Someone comes occasionally during the day, but it becomes very quiet at night. Mu Xingqiu didn't want to rest so early, so he walked in. He still had a lot of books he had not read. Maybe he could dig out one or two spells that no one paid attention to tonight, and maybe he could see Fangfang later.

Fangfang also likes reading books, and the two meet here most of the time.

The Langhuan Blessing Land is unguarded, and it covers a large area inside, divided into three levels, middle and lower, which seems to be completely beyond the capacity of the Forbidden Secret Tower, but this is very normal in Taoism.

Bookshelf, floor, and tables are filled with books and scrolls. They seem to be messy, but in fact they are orderly. Only those who can choose books can find their own goals here.

Mu Xingqiu came to the corner of his habit, sat on a chair, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, opened his eyes again, and more than a dozen books appeared on the table in front of him, including a book that he had read halfway, and then he automatically turned to the interrupted page.

He no longer remembers how many books he had read, and slowly understood why Fangfang had this hobby. It was like when he was a child, he was walking casually while shedding horses in the woods. As long as he searched carefully, he could always find sweet and sour flowers, plants, delicious mushrooms. It may not be possible that when he turned a tree, he would find berries hanging on the branches, making the whole day full of joy.

This is how Mu Xingqiu learned boxing and mantras over the past three years. Zuo Liuying has read the most books and never forgets them, but he refuses to teach them directly to anyone. Instead, he teaches Mu Xingqiu some ideas to find them in the sea of ​​books by teaching him some methods of thinking about books.

Mu Xingqiu's understanding of the Minxin Science and Over time, he understood many things and his doubts became deeper and deeper: When was the inheritance of the Minxin Science and Technology interrupted and why? No book gave an explanation.

All books have low evaluations of this subject. The reason is that after reaching the realm of Foxia, the power of boxing and spells will stagnate and begin to lag behind the five elements of the same realm. However, there are always some words that are quite disdainful of the character of the female descendant of the Ninxin Department, but they are unwilling to explain the reason directly.

Mu Xingqiu asked Lin Sa, who was very willing to provide him with help, but he refused to say much about this matter, "When you reach the realm of Gu Xia and can read more books, you will naturally understand."

He can only wait.

Thinking of whom, Lin Sa walked into the room with a strong body. His injuries had not yet recovered. He could only suspend his practice and could not perform the duties of the Dushui. Therefore, he became an unappointed book administrator and an informal protector of the only disciple of the Minxin Department.

Although there is little hope, Mu Xingqiu still looked up and said, "Lin Du teaches, can you help me..."

Lin Sa shook his head directly and sat opposite him with a smile, "No, and I think the master's decision is very correct. Many people are interested in your true illusion, and even the demon clan is coveting it. Refining magic weapons almost requires traveling all over the nine major Taoist dynasties, which is really not safe enough for you. The master made an exception to give you a purple-patterned sword, which is probably the reason. You already have the main magic weapon and you don't need to refine it."

"But... the magic weapon you refined is easier, isn't it?"

Mu Xingqiu had many reasons to refine magic weapons, and there was another important thing he didn't say: the best friends had met the requirements for refining magic weapons and were preparing to travel around the Nine Daotong together. He didn't want to stay alone in the Forbidden Secret Tower to read books and practice boxing, and accept Zuo Liuying's silent observation every seven days.

"That's right, but safety is more important." Lin Sa finished the discussion and asked instead: "How is your practice of the Jiuzhan Bian?"

Although I have learned dozens of sets of boxing, Mu Xingqiu’s most common practice is to lead the nine transformations of the beast based on bone-forging fist. One of the important reasons is Lin Sa’s full recommendation, “I can now use seven methods of turtle breath, dragon leap, crane swing, tiger roar, lion roar, leopard, and scale diving at the same time. Only Feng Yin and Xiong Wu are there. I think there should be a breakthrough in half a month.”

"Very good, remember, other boxing techniques are all drawn from books. Only this set of nine transformations of beasts was taught in the dream of twenty-nine successors of the Mind Heart Department. Even Zuo Liuying had never seen them. There must be profound meanings in them, and you must practice them."

Lin Sa has said these words many times. Mu Xingqiu used to nod, but he was not in a good mood tonight. So he spoke more directly, "Lin Du teaches, don't you especially want me to learn more spells?"

Boxing and mantras are the two most important contents of the Heart Physician. Zuo Liuying attaches great importance to mantras. He believes that this is the source of true illusion. Although Lin Sa did not explicitly object, he never gave guidance in this regard. He just encouraged Mu Xingqiu to spend all his time practicing boxing as much as possible.

In this battle, Lin Sa was more successful. Mu Xingqiu spent most of his energy on boxing, but he wanted to know the reason, because he increasingly felt that the power of the nine transformations of the beast had an end, while the five elements spells learned by others were endless.

Lin Sa hesitated for a while and said, "We know clearly where the power of boxing comes from." He pointed at Mu Xingqiu, "It is your body and inner alchemy. Even if one day you practice to the level of variation, there is a way to stay awake. However, the spell is a mysterious force. Even Zuo Liuying doesn't know where this force comes from, and what kind of results will eventually lead to."

This is exactly what Zuo Liuying is most interested in. In exploring unknown fields, Lin Sa is very conservative, unlike a disciple of the Ban Secretology.

Mu Xingqiu decided to say his heart, "But I don't want others to use powerful Five Elements spells one day, and I can only lead the nine transformations of beasts. Even if it is a variant, it will be just a target for others."

"Haha, you should have confidence in the descendants of the Minxin Science. They will not teach you a whole set of useless boxing techniques for no reason. I have a premonition that when you practice to the level of variation, you will realize a stronger power and will never be weaker than others."

"You are comforting me." Mu Xingqiu found it difficult to agree with Lin Sa's optimism, because it was the first person who taught him many years ago to warn him not to join the Ninxin Department, but now he strongly suggests that he learn the boxing techniques taught to him by twenty-nine female successors in strange ways.

"Faith, no matter which subject you practice, you must have confidence." Lin Sa stood up and said goodbye, avoiding Mu Xingqiu's question again.

"Faith." Mu Xingqiu murmured to himself. If he could have a master weapon that truly belonged to him, his confidence would be even more.

Both boxing and spells require main magic weapons, but every Taoist priest Pang Shan has to learn a few Five Elements spells, and Mu Xingqiu is no exception. After testing, he is most suitable for learning the Five Elements Gold Spell. So far, he has learned two moves, fewer than other disciples in the same realm, as well as auxiliary skills such as flight, escape, etc., which are also affected by the main magic weapon. If there is a more convenient and excellent magic sword, he believes that he will not be left too far.

Midnight passed and Fangfang did not come, but Yang Qingyin entered without invitation. When she pushed the door, it made a loud noise, shaking piles of books trembling.

"The master gave in."

"Really?" Mu Xingqiu stood up, his eyes lit up.

"In ten days, you have to prove that you have the ability to protect yourself."

“I have always had the ability to protect myself.”

"Okay, you can clean up and prepare to kill the demon."
Chapter completed!
