Chapter 7

After leaving the academy, an anxious Yan Qi greeted her.

"Young master, are you okay?"

Shang Xi said with displeasure: "Brother Yan Qi, what do you mean, my aunt and grandma will go out in person, and my nephew will be wronged?"

Shang Xi said it bluntly, but he still explained to Shang Xia: "It was your seventh uncle who notified the family immediately after hearing the news that you performed supernatural powers in the martial arts hall."

Shang Xia secretly made a "nice job" gesture to Yan Qi, and asked, "Gu, it seems that the Department of Enlightenment, the Library of Scriptures, and the Department of Health of the Academy attach great importance to my nephew's attainment of supernatural powers, but As far as my nephew knows, although it is not easy for an extraordinary warrior to practice martial arts supernatural powers, it is not impossible, so why do you value your nephew so much?"

"How about it, isn't it nice to be favored and sought after by others?" Shang Xi teased.

Shang Xia smiled "hehe" and said, "It's really a good feeling, but I'm also a little apprehensive."

"You should be terrified!"

Shang Xi rolled his eyes at him, and said: "Because you practiced martial arts supernatural powers in the Wuyuan realm, this is the first door for extraordinary warriors! Now the news is spreading, and I don't know how many people are secretly in this Tongyou city. staring at you!"

Shang Xia was thoughtful when he heard the words, but he remembered what Zhang Haogu said before, so he repeated it to my sister, saying: "Sister, is this the reason?"

Shang Xi nodded in praise and said: "Jiao Zhang is very knowledgeable, so what he said naturally makes sense. In short, the martial arts supernatural powers in the Wuyuan state mean the transformation of vitality in the body, the true Dzogchen state, and the foundation of extraordinary martial arts. It is stable. However, there are very few types of supernatural powers to choose from in the Wuyuan realm. Therefore, if you can really provide an effective way to practice the supernatural power of "Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand", then no matter how much Tongyou Academy attaches importance to it Not too much!"

Shang Xia's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

…………

On the fifth day of June in Shenwu calendar 843, Tongyou Academy's holiday has entered its fourth day.

Under the scorching sun, Shang Xia was lying in the shade of a tree in the family courtyard, sipping a glass of ice water with a bamboo tube, his eyes were distracted, apparently he was thinking about something.

After a while, Shang Xia's expression changed, and his eyes focused on the door.

Yan Qi walked quickly into the courtyard with a brocade box in hand.

"Young master, the century-old lightning-struck wooden talisman board sent by the family."

Shang Xia took the brocade box, opened it, glanced at it, and said sullenly: "It's not satisfactory, let's use it reluctantly, anyway, it's a consumable."

Yan Qi's cheeks twitched slightly, but fortunately he had become accustomed to such extravagant behaviors of his young master, and his beard covered his face well, so he hesitated a little and asked, "Young master, Thunderbolt Does it really help to cultivate the 'Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand'?"

Shang Xia glanced at him, and was not surprised that he could guess the relationship between the Lightning Strike Wood and the cultivation of "Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand", so he did not hide it, and said: "It is related, but these talisman boards are far from qualified. .If you want to practice the 'Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand', you need at least five hundred years of lightning strike wood, and it must be Mu Xin!"

Yan Qi was startled when he heard this: "A lightning strike to Mu Xin for more than five hundred years is very rare!"

Shang Xia said indifferently: "Although there are not many lightning strike trees, there are thousands of peaks in the Qianye Mountains and vast hectares of dense forests. If you want to find them, you can still find them. What's more, there are even more trees outside Youzhou outside the Qianye Mountains. The vast world, Tongyou City is not without contact with the outside world."

"Five-hundred-year-old lightning strike trees are rare, and even rarer ones can give birth to Mu Xin, but this also shows the difficulty of cultivating 'Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand'. Is the cultivation of martial arts supernatural powers really a Chinese cabbage on the roadside? "

"Besides," Shang Xia Youyou said, "Even if Mu Xin is struck by lightning, he can cultivate the 'Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand'? Hunyuan Palm' and 'Thunderbolt Palm' two sets of martial arts training is not over?"

Yan Qi suddenly said: "The news of the lightning strike wood was released on purpose by the young master?"

Shang Xia sucked the ice water in the glass "squeaky" and said vaguely: "It has been more than 20 years since the Youzhou catastrophe, and this Tongyou city still has some background, among other things, our business is one of the four major families. At the end of the rise, didn't we already collect two boxes of these exquisite lightning strike wooden rune boards!"

"Our business can do this, let alone the other three, let alone Tongyou Academy?"

Yan Qi hesitated and said: "Then... if they take out these things, the young master really intends to reveal the way to cultivate supernatural powers?"

Shang Xia looked at Yan Qi with funny eyes, and said, "Uncle Qi, what are you thinking? I don't have enough resources to try, how can I find an effective way? Martial arts supernatural powers are really so easy to cultivate, these five How can the extraordinary warriors who died in this supernatural power die in peace for a hundred years?"

Yan Qi nodded her head vigorously, but she was thinking in her heart: Before even writing about supernatural powers, I first corrupted a batch of resources. My young master is really powerful... No, how could I "corrupt" the word? ? never mind……

At this time, I heard Shang Xia say again: "Supernatural power cultivation has always been a matter for a few people—a few people among extraordinary warriors—even if I can provide a method, there must be only a few people who can walk through this path .”

When Yan Qi heard the words, a rare expression of solemnity appeared on his face, and he nodded in agreement.

The cultivation methods of many extraordinary warriors are not secret, but there are still very few extraordinary warriors who can achieve something.

The road to practice is not something that can be used against the heavens just by giving you a secret book!

Shang Xia finished drinking the ice water in the cup, and was about to get up, but Yan Qi said again: "The young master asked us to pay attention to that Dou Zhong's affairs, that kid is stupid and bold, and he may enter the Two Worlds War soon Domain, it is said that I want to increase my knowledge!"

"A bloody boy who hasn't even touched the extraordinary barrier, dares to enter the battlefield of the two worlds, what is the difference between courting death?"

Ignoring Yan Qi's ridicule, Shang Xia's first thought was: Heh, is this the rhythm of starting the protagonist mode?

"Keep an eye on him, don't interfere, and don't let anyone find out!" Shang Xia repeatedly urged.

Yan Qi said yes, but did not leave, and continued: "Also, Miss Mu has left the customs and successfully entered the Wuyuan Realm."

Shang Xia looked calm, suddenly thought of something, and asked: "I remember that Miss Mu's family is also a little powerful in Tongyou City, right?"

Yan Qi replied: "Miss Mu's father, Mu Jiansheng, the patriarch of the Mu family, is an extraordinary warrior in the extreme martial arts realm, but the real pillar of the Mu family is Mu Jiansheng's younger sister, Mu Jianyin. One of the four directors of the Secular Affairs Department of You Academy is a secretive person, even in Tongyou City, not many people know of her existence."

"Secretary for World Affairs?"

Shang Xia frowned when he heard the name.

According to Shang Xia's understanding, the Department of World Affairs is the intelligence agency of Tongyou College.

The four directors of the Department of World Affairs are comparable to Sanshe Jiaoyu, even a senior professor like Zhang Haogu is also a head shorter.

More importantly, the cultivation base of the four major supervisors must be above the Wu Yijing.

Just because of the particularity of the Department of World Affairs, the identities and behaviors of the four directors are extremely secretive and low-key.

That is to say, Shang Xia, as a direct descendant of the four major families in Tongyou City, can still have a superficial understanding of these four supervisors, but in fact he may not even recognize them even if they meet face to face.

"I didn't expect that there was such a relationship behind Mu Qingyu."

Shang Xia's tone sounded a little sighing.

Although Shang Xia is not a stingy person, but he was used by someone for no reason, so he was upset and naturally thought of "reciprocity".

But the person behind the other party made him calm down for a while.

It's not because of fear, but because things related to the Department of World Affairs are often easy to make people think too much, and it will become big if they are not careful.

Besides, Shang Xia had long been curious about the real reason for Mu Qingyu's divorce.

At Zhu Ying's home that day, the scene of retiring the engagement was really unreasonable.

Although it seemed quite solemn to invite one instructor, two instructors, and one chief to be witnesses, except for Mu Qingyu, none of the elders of the Mu family were future, which seemed child's play.

At that time, Shang Xia was in the middle of the game, but he didn't know what to do.

Looking back on it afterwards, it was weird everywhere.

No wonder Zhang Jiaoxi said it was "a farce" when he walked away. It seemed that he had already noticed it.

This made Shang Xia sigh, compared with such old Jianghu, he was still too young.

The divergent thoughts gathered again, Shang Xia noticed that Yan Qi was still by his side, and couldn't help but wondered: "Uncle Qi, is there anything else?"

Yan Qi said in a low voice: "After Miss Mu leaves the customs, it is said that she will also go to the Two Realms Battlefield to practice. Also...Zhu Ying also left Tongyou City the day before yesterday, and her destination seems to be the Two Realms Battlefield as well."

"They all went to the Battlefields of the Two Realms?"

Shang Xia looked at Yan Qi in astonishment, and said, "Zhu Ying left the day before yesterday, why did I only receive the news now?"

As for the festival between Shang Xia and Zhu Ying, Yan Qi should send someone to keep an eye on it without Shang Xia's instructions, and should receive news whenever there is any movement.

Yan Qi looked a little ugly, and said: "Our people have been led away, and someone is secretly helping him."

"People from the Liu family?"

Shang Xia soon had a suspect.

"They are all unfamiliar faces. After our people realized something was wrong, these people disappeared very quickly." Yan Qi said.

Shang Xia sneered and said, "How many other companies can hide people in Tongyou City without being traced by us?"

Yan Qi replied: "Apart from Tongyou Academy, there are only three other schools."

Shang Xia laughed and said, "Things are getting more and more interesting!"

After Yan Qi left, Shang Xia opened the brocade box Yan Qi sent under the shade of a tree.

I saw six exquisite thunder-pattern talisman boards neatly stacked inside, and Shang Xia could even sense the faint power of thunder contained on them.

After the essence of a hundred-year-old lightning strike wood is compressed, it can only be made into three or four talisman boards at most.

So don't look at each talisman board is only the size of a jade pendant, but the actual weight is no less than a hundred catties.

"Including the previous box, there are a total of twelve Thunder Rune Talisman Boards. You can try it out. I hope to make a few more Martial Talismans. After all, in the battle at the Martial Arts Hall, my trump card has almost been exposed."

After closing the brocade box, Shang Xia strangely fell into a doze again.
