Chapter 185 New Skills (8000, Monthly Ticket Required)

When the powerful force emerged from the woman's fingers, everything around seemed to be still. Chi Muwu was terrified, but he found that he could not hide at all, because when the woman in front of him raised her hand, he had already doomed the result, that is, failure.

Failure is equivalent to death.

Cracks appeared on Chi Muwu's body, extending densely like a spider web. In the blink of an eye, cracks were all over his body.

A gust of wind blew, and with this gust of wind, Chi Muwu's body turned into ashes all over the sky. With just one move, a master of the sixth level of the Transcendent Realm was beaten into ashes. It can be seen that the power of this woman is terrifying.

Xu Bai stopped in mid-air, looking at the beautiful woman in Taoist robes in front of him, with a slight smile on his lips: "See you again, female master."

It was none other than the female master who came.

Just when Xu Bai was about to return to Nanhua Road, he turned around and saw that the female master was already standing behind Chimuwu. The female master's eyes were clear, and she was obviously not affected by madness, or she had a brief clarity of mind like before.

The female master put down her raised hand and looked at Chimuwu who turned into ashes in front of her. She couldn't help but frowned: "The barbarians must have spent a huge price to break through the blockade and come here. Their purpose is just to kill you. It seems that you have been included in their list of must-kills."

Xu Bai shrugged and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm used to it. There are too many people in this world who want to kill me, but I'm still alive and well now."

Even if the female master didn't come today, Xu Bai could still get away.

Since he entered this circle, he has experienced crises of all sizes and successfully turned danger into safety.

Xu Bai has long been indifferent to the fact that the barbarians and the Great Yue Kingdom want to kill him. He works hard to improve his strength to deal with various risks in the future.

But these are all later stories and things to do later. What Xu Bai is more interested in now is why the female master is looking for him again.

"You want it again?" Xu Bai pondered.

He just finished speaking and found that his words were a bit ambiguous, but fortunately the female master didn't hear it.

The essence of the meaning is that the female master wants to find him while he is awake and let him perform the Star Shifting and Changing again.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai looked up and down and found that the female master didn't bring the wood carving, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

The female abbot shook her head and said, "No, actually I didn't come here to look for you this time. I just wanted to find the dean of Qingyun Academy while I was still sober. I didn't expect to meet you on the way, so I just happened to help you."

After listening, Xu Bai said with interest, "What do you want to talk to the dean about? It just so happens that I have to go back to Qingyun Academy. Why don't we go together?"

"Some private matters." The female abbot said, "About the evil book, let's go, this is not the place to talk, let's go first and talk."

Evil book?

Xu Bai touched his chin and thought for a moment.

Of course he knew what the evil book was. It was these things that caused differences among scholars and even affected their minds.

But as the female abbot said, now was not the time to talk, Xu Bai did not ask any more questions, and the two of them went to Qingyun Academy together.

Nothing else happened along the way, and the two arrived at Qingyun Academy smoothly. After arriving at Qingyun Academy, Xu Bai led the way in front, and the female master followed behind, and came to the dean's room.

Xu Bai raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Soon, the dean opened the door. When he saw that it was Xu Bai, he breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw the female master behind Xu Bai, his brows slightly frowned.

"Master Yumian, you have gone crazy, how come you are back to normal?"

Yumian is the name of the female master.

This was really beyond the dean's expectations. He didn't expect that he would meet the former master Yumian again.

It is said that heroes emerge in troubled times. In this peaceful era, many geniuses are unworthy of the name in the eyes of the dean, but in their era, it was an extremely chaotic era. At that time, many geniuses were truly worthy of the name.

Master Yumian is one of them.

A true genius, who created a technique that was superior to all other techniques, but unfortunately, it had serious drawbacks, which led to his endless madness.

Now, not only did he see the living Jade-faced Master, but he even saw a conscious Jade-faced Master, and the dean had to be surprised.

The female master glanced at Xu Bai and said, "Thanks to Xu Bai, I can be awake for a short time, and when I am awake, I can do a lot of things."

Xu Bai?

The dean was even more confused: "Didn't he inherit your mantle? Why is he helping you?"

As soon as these words came out, the female master was confused.

"How do you know that he inherited my mantle? He didn't."

The dean's eyes fell on Xu Bai.

Xu Bai coughed awkwardly and looked up at the ceiling, indicating that all this was your guess. I didn't admit it, but I didn't deny it either.

The dean saw this scene and couldn't help but feel angry.

Good guy, it turned out that he was excited and confident to guess a result, but it was still wrong.

This guess has nothing to do with Xu Bai. The most important thing is that Xu Bai didn't deny it, and he acquiesced.

What's this? This is a slap in the face. The most important thing is that the person involved is still at the scene.

Living to their age, it is very important to have face. The female master and they are from the same era. Especially in front of such people of the same era, it is even more important to have face.

Otherwise, if it gets out in the future, a dignified dean of a college can't even guess a person's business, and guessed it wrong. Wouldn't it be a laughing stock?

In the puzzled eyes of the female master, the dean coughed and said.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time. I didn't make a little joke. Nowadays, these young people like to joke with each other."

Xu Bai: "..."

He suddenly found that the dean was quite shameless.

Fortunately, the female master did not dwell on this matter, and quickly put it behind her and went straight to the point.

"I don't have much time left to wake up. I came here this time because of some things I came into contact with when I was crazy. These things are about evil books."

When the dean heard the word "evil book", his face showed a solemn expression: "Come in and talk."

For any scholar, hearing the word "evil book" will have the same expression. After all, an evil book is the easiest thing to destroy a scholar.

In this world, no one can resist the temptation of taking shortcuts. The only difference is the size of resistance. For scholars, evil books are things that can make them give up their original principles.

The female master and Xu Bai walked in. Xu Bai looked around and did not find Yun Zihai.

"Where is Brother Yun? Has he returned to normal?" Xu Bai asked.

The last time they met, Yun Zihai was playing with iron balls, but this time he didn't see him, so Xu Bai asked this question.

"He has recovered almost completely. I will let him go back to his room to consolidate. After all, it is still a bit unbearable for him to practice that thing in my room." said the dean.

A man with his shirt off and playing with a huge iron ball in the room would be an eyesore for anyone to see, even the dean and other elderly people.

The dean was about to serve tea, but the female master waved her hand, saying that she didn't have much time left and had to hurry up to do business.

A book was taken out of the sleeve by the female master and placed on the table.

The female master pointed at the book on the table and said, "Dean, come and take a look. Is this book an evil book?"

The dean picked up the book, flipped through two pages casually, and closed the book, saying, "Yes."

It was just a simple word, but it carried enough weight when spoken by the dean.

Xu Bai heard it in his ears, but his eyes were fixed on the book.

Above this so-called evil book, a golden progress bar appeared, which looked extremely dazzling, and the progress bar was very slow.

"I've sent it, and it's another slow progress bar." Xu Bai thought in his heart, but his face was expressionless.

Although he looked calm on the surface, Xu Bai was already thinking about how to get this book.

Let's not talk about what he was thinking. After getting the answer from the dean, the female master spoke again.

"It's good that it's an evil book. I got this book from Dai Viet, and Dai Viet has a lot of it." The female master pointed at the book and told the story of how she got it.

"Not only that, they did not stop the circulation of evil books, and even began to circulate evil books to Da Chu, and many scholars were persecuted, but they did not show it and hid it very deeply."

After the voice fell, the room fell silent.

Xu Bai frowned slightly, and he seemed to think of the truth behind it.

"Does Dai Viet want to avoid the battlefield at the border and go to another battlefield?"

It is obvious to all how much harm evil books can do to scholars, but it can also make scholars improve rapidly.

Dai Viet not only did not stop it, but also allowed it to circulate, and even turned a blind eye.

What's worse, it also sent evil books to the direction of the Great Chu, with the purpose of disintegrating the Great Chu from the perspective of scholars.

The female master nodded and said, "I have the same idea as you. They are going to do something that is unacceptable to the world, and this approach is despised by the whole world."

Xu Bai said, "So what? For Dai Viet, even if they do it, no one will punish them."

There is nothing wrong with what he said.

Dai Viet can even say openly that it was them who did it, and they wanted to use it to persecute scholars, but so what?

Do the scholars in this world dare to go to Dai Viet?

It is on par with the Great Chu and the barbarians. Not to mention the scholars in this world, even if the dean personally goes there, it will be difficult to end it.

When a country holds great power, it is no longer possible for ordinary people to stop what it wants to do.

For example, the evil book this time, the Great Chu Kingdom can only stop the circulation within the country at best, and cannot rectify the Great Viet Kingdom.

You can't just go to war directly. If you go to war without absolute certainty, it will not only waste people's money and labor, but also provide the barbarians on the side with an opportunity to profit.

The dean slapped the table with a slap, furious: "Asshole! It's just assholes. How did the scholars in this world provoke them? They actually started from this aspect. They are just beasts!"

Behind the dean, a purple book appeared. When this book appeared, the surrounding scenery was gradually changing.

This is the dean's change of the sky. Because the dean was extremely angry at the moment, he couldn't control it. After he reacted, he waved his hand weakly to disperse the change of the sky.

"This Great Viet Kingdom... is really shameless." The dean smiled bitterly.

The female master said, "Didn't you realize it before? In order to strengthen their own national strength, they provoked a melee between Dafeng and Dachu. It was because of that war that they made a lot of money.

If it weren't for the fact that the King of Chu acted decisively and led the people and troops of Dachu to fight, Dachu would probably have to follow the lead of Dayue now."

The dean sighed, feeling deeply powerless.

Even though he was the dean of Qingyun Academy, even though he was respected by the whole world, he was still powerless to resist a country.

"For now, we can only report to His Majesty and let him seize the time to eliminate these tumors." Xu Bai said.

Now this matter is no longer just about the world, but about the confrontation between two countries. At this time, the world is extremely small.

The dean nodded, and this was the only way for now.

The female master stood up and said, "I don't have much time left. I will soon fall into that crazy state again. I have to leave first. The farther away from the prosperous place, the better."

Xu Bai asked, "When will you be able to get rid of that state permanently? Otherwise, I will give it to you again?"

The female master shook her head and said, "It's useless. What I got from you is already a limit. Next, it depends on whether I can overcome this difficulty. This takes time. I don't know how long it will take, but now I can get a long period of sobriety, which is already very good for me."

Xu Bai touched his chin and said, "Or, before you leave, can you carve another wood carving for me?"

Since I'm here, I can't come in vain. I have to leave something before I leave.

The female master heard the words, and her mouth twitched slightly: "Next time, I've been delayed for too long. I'm worried that there won't be enough time to carve the wood carving."

Xu Bai sighed. After getting this answer, he also knew that it was impossible. Although it was a bit regrettable, it was better than the female master going crazy.

The female abbot did not stay any longer, but opened the door and left in a hurry, without even leaving a word. It seemed that she did not have much time to wake up.

After the female abbot left, the dean picked up the evil book on the table and put it in the brazier, apparently preparing to destroy it.

Seeing this, Xu Bai hurriedly said, "Dean, wait a moment."

The dean stopped what he was doing and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Can you give me this book? I want to see what these books are. Don't worry, they will be destroyed after reading them." Xu Bai said.

The dean handed the evil book to Xu Bai without asking why.

Xu Bai was surprised by how straightforward he was.

"You are not a scholar, so reading this will not affect you." The dean said directly: "Just remember to destroy it when the time comes."

Xu Bai took it in his hand and agreed: "The matter of the evil book must be reported as soon as possible."

The dean nodded and said: "Leave it to me. After all, it was caused by scholars, so it is appropriate for me to report it."

Xu Bai thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with saying this. He didn't have time to go to Yinyi anymore. After all, after experiencing the matter of Akagi Wu, he felt that it would be better for him to hurry up and make progress.

Things were almost done, so he didn't stay here any longer, but went out of the room and returned to his own room.

After closing the door, Xu Bai put the three books on the table.

Beside him, a first-class puppet was guarding.

The three books were, in order, the enhanced version of the physical fitness technique, the travel notes, and the evil book he had just obtained.

This time he would not distinguish the order. Anyway, he planned to finish all the books before leaving Qingyun Academy, so the order didn't matter.

Xu Bai picked up one of the books and flipped through it, looking at the slowly growing progress bar in front of him, and continued his boring life.

…

Time passed slowly, and a long time passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period of time, various things happened, the most obvious of which was that the Great Chu State strengthened its various border controls, which made many merchants who came and went feel headache.

Many of these merchants were making profits between the Great Yue State and the barbarians, but because the Great Chu State strengthened its border controls, many of their goods could not be brought in.

Secondly, the Great Chu State conducted a strict screening of scholars across the country, revealing the traces of evil books in some scholars.

Not only that, it also pointed the finger at the Great Viet State, claiming that this was something that the Great Viet State had made, and said that the Great Viet State was worthy of death.

But just as Xu Bai thought, the Great Viet State did not admit it, but it did not deny it either, and remained silent.

It was just short of telling the world that it was me who did it, and if you have the guts, come find me!

These two things are also the most sensational things in recent times.

Although Xu Bai has been staying in Qingyun Academy, he has also heard about it. He still agrees with the Chu Emperor's vigorous and decisive methods.

During this period of time, Liu Xu left. After all, he was the chief of the Jiantian Division, and now he has reached the first grade by chance, and he needs to perform his duties as soon as possible.

Yun Zihai also left. After playing with the iron ball for such a long time, he has initially mastered the enhanced version of the body-building technique, and only needs to consolidate it slowly in the future.

After all, he is a king of a different surname, and he has his own territory, so he needs to go back to manage it and cannot stay for too long.

In Qingyun Academy, only Xu Bai is still there.

Today, the sun rises as usual.

In Nanhua Road, which is full of scholarly atmosphere, many scholars look at the rising sun in the sky, and they are inspired to write poems and lyrics.

There is no market atmosphere here, only the book atmosphere.

In a room in Qingyun Academy, which is extremely rich in the book atmosphere, Xu Bai looks at the attribute panel with light blue smoke in front of him and smiles with satisfaction.

[Name: Xu Bai. ]

[Realm: Transcendental Second-grade Wanderer. ]

[General Principles of Swordless Blade (Transcendental 2nd level): Full level. ]

[Tianjin Jue (Transcendental 2nd level): Full level. ]

[Returning Wind and Flowing Snow (5th level): Full level. ]

【Yin and Yang Coexistence (Level 1 of Transcendental): full level. 】

【Comprehension: full level. 】

……

It took a long time to finish the progress bar of the three books, and after finishing them, the gains were simply huge.

First is the enhanced version of the body strengthening technique. After finishing it, it was merged with the strong kidney collection technique. The name did not change, but the skill level was raised to the level of Transcendental 1.

After reaching this level, the Kidney-Strengthening Collection Technique can store the first-level Transcendent True Yuan Force, that is, he now has an extra first-level Transcendent True Yuan Force reserve.

This is a huge improvement. In the past, his Kidney-Strengthening Collection Technique could not keep up. Now that he can keep up again, imagine that in the future, when fighting against the enemy, he will not only have a continuous supply of True Yuan Force, but also be able to join the burst.

Another improvement is the Travel Notes and the Evil Book.

After the two merged with each other, they became a new skill called Yin and Yang Coexistence.

This skill is very unique and very targeted.

Yin and Yang have always been a very common saying in the martial arts world. Yin and Yang are opposite to each other, but they complement each other. Either Yin or Yang.

The coexistence of Yin and Yang can improve Xu Bai's combat effectiveness in all aspects. Generally speaking, it can improve his combat effectiveness by 10%.

As for how to improve, let's make a very simple analogy. If the enemy is Yin, he will use Yang, which can have an additional bonus. If the enemy is Yang, he will use Yin, which also has an additional bonus.

As for how to judge Yin and Yang, there are mysteries in it.

However, this skill has certain limitations, that is, it can only be improved by 10% at the first level of Transcendent Realm.

But it is enough.

As the skill level increases in the future, this bonus will gradually increase. By then, Xu Bai will feel that he is very scary.

"I seem to have become stronger again, and my ability to fight against higher levels has become stronger." Xu Bai touched his chin and thought.

Not long ago, when he was in the capital, Eunuch Wei once evaluated his combat power and said that he could go up two levels.

Don't look at it as just two levels. Transcendent Realm is not the same as the first to ninth levels below. After reaching the Transcendent Realm, each level is like a world of difference.

For people in the world, it is extremely difficult to go up two levels, but for Xu Bai, it is as simple as eating and drinking water.

Now with the Kidney Strengthening Collection Technique, plus the coexistence of yin and yang, Xu Bai feels that it is not just as simple as two levels. As for how much he can go, he has to find someone to try it.

After feeling the changes in his body, Xu Bai retracted his thoughts and calmed himself down.

"It's time to leave."

The trip to Qingyun Academy has come to an end.

The old witch has been dealt with, and his worries have been solved accordingly, so there is no reason to stay here.

And Xu Bai has other things to do, such as a trip to the Vajra Temple.

As I said before, when he went to Beijing, Qingyun Academy and Vajra Temple both clearly expressed their support for him and stood on his side.

People should know how to reciprocate and understand the ways of the world. If the other party gives you face, you can't just turn down the other party's face.

If someone respects me one foot, I will respect him ten feet. Xu Bai certainly knows this, so he still has to take advantage of this time to go there.

What's more, Xu Bai is particularly interested in the abbot of the Vajra Temple.

After all, the abbot wrote a lot of second-year annotations when he was young, and those annotations were all written on Buddhist scriptures.

According to Wuhua, at that time, the Vajra Temple planned to use these so-called rare books to communicate with other temples, but unexpectedly, the elders who proposed this idea were beaten up by the abbot.

Xu Bai was certainly interested in such a host who was constantly testing the edge of social death.

He would not admit that he was more interested in the possibility of getting more progress bars.

Xu Bai stood up and stretched.

The first-class puppet next to him had been packed up long ago, just waiting for Xu Bai to leave. Xu Bai did not stop and went directly to the dean's house to say goodbye to the dean.

As for the evil book, Xu Bai burned it in front of the dean.

The dean did not try too much to keep him. In his opinion, Xu Bai was a young man with great potential, and he was unique in the world and could not be confined to the small Qingyun Academy.

Xu Bai left very low-key, and did not let the dean and others see him off. When he left, he chose to leave late at night.

It was late at night.

A young man with ordinary looks and a figure dressed tightly quietly left Nanhua Road.

The young man looked very ordinary, the kind of existence that could not be found even in a crowd.

And this ordinary-looking young man was Xu Bai.

He no longer looked the same as before, but the same after using the Thousand Faces Technique.

[Thousand Faces Technique (Level 9): Full Level. ]

This skill can not only change one's appearance with the power of true energy, but also change one's body shape.

Xu Bai felt that after what happened to Akagi Uzumaki, he should be careful, so he did not show up in his true form.

After leaving Nanhua Road and walking along Yinyi for a long time, he finally took off and flew towards the direction of the Vajra Temple.

Behind him, the first-class puppet was carried by him and drifted in the wind...

...

Vajra Temple.

One of the ten great temples in the Great Chu Kingdom.

Here, not only are there endless pilgrims, but many people in the martial arts world often stay.

After all, it is one of the ten great temples in the Great Chu Kingdom, and its reputation and prestige are naturally awe-inspiring in the entire martial arts world.

Compared to the situation where all the people in Nanhua Road are scholars, the Vajra Temple is more open.

More importantly, although the Vajra Temple is one of the ten great temples, its purpose is different from that of other temples.

In the eyes of the Vajra Temple, there is nothing left but to subdue demons and eliminate evil.

Every day, apart from chanting sutras and reciting Buddha's name, they are either fighting or on the way to fight.

In short, this is a very stubborn temple, and this temple is very protective of its shortcomings.

A long time ago, a disciple of the Vajra Temple went out and encountered a strange creature. After killing the strange creature, he was attacked by an unknown person and returned seriously injured.

The next day, hundreds of sturdy monks walked out of the temple, searched all over the world, found the attacker, and beat him to death.

What other temples pay attention to is what the Vajra Temple does not need.

In the words of the current social death host, the world is not stable yet, what is the use of chanting sutras and reciting Buddha's name?

First use your fists to smooth out this chaotic world, and then go back to chant sutras and recite Buddha's name, isn't it better?

It is precisely because of this that the Vajra Temple is very favored by the Great Chu State and is very close to the Great Chu State. Almost every disciple will go to the Jiantian Division for a visit, and they have made a lot of contributions during their tenure.

Today, the Vajra Temple is different from the past. They refused the exchanges of pilgrims and closed the temple gate.

Even those Jianghu people were driven out by the monks of the Vajra Temple.

No one knows what happened, because after the temple gate was closed, no Jianghu people dared to step forward. After all, this temple was a name that was earned by fists.

Xu Bai fell from the sky and landed just below the mountain where the Vajra Temple is located.

In this world, it is not that you can fly high. Some places are very particular. If you land in someone's mountain gate by flying, it is considered a taboo for others.

After all, no one wants someone to fall from the sky from time to time at their own mountain gate, so it is an unspoken rule to land when approaching.

After landing, Xu Bai did not stay for too long and walked towards the location of the Vajra Temple.

The mountain road is flat and there are stone steps.

Perhaps for the people of Jianghu, these mountain roads are equivalent to flat land, but for some ordinary pilgrims, if the mountain roads are too steep, it will be extremely difficult for them to walk, so these stone stairs are for ordinary pilgrims to walk.

Xu Bai walked on the road at a very fast speed, but he also had doubts in his heart.

As one of the ten major temples, why is there no one here and it seems particularly quiet?

It shouldn't be.

Even if there are no ordinary people, there are at least a few Jianghu people passing by, but no one was seen along the way, not even a dog.

Did something go wrong?

With this mood, Xu Bai continued to climb the steps, and after walking for nearly half an hour, he finally arrived outside a mountain gate.

At this moment, the mountain gate was closed, and there were two monks guarding outside the mountain gate.

When the two monks saw Xu Bai coming, they looked at each other, and one of them walked out slowly.

"Donor, the Vajra Temple is closed and no one will be allowed to enter. Please go back."

The monk was very polite. In fact, they were very polite when they were not fighting or on the way to a fight.

Xu Bai looked the monk up and down and said, "I want to see Wuhua."

He thought that he could let him in after saying this, but he didn't expect that the monk still shook his head.

"Donor, please wait a month before coming back."

Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.

This situation was unexpected. It seemed that his guess was right. Something big might have happened in the Vajra Temple.

Just as he was thinking this, the next moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

Xu Bai turned his head and looked behind him. He found that there were dozens of monks wearing clothes different from those of the monks in the Vajra Temple, walking towards this side.
