Chapter 48

Zhang Jian indeed followed his advice and took a two-week leave that afternoon.

Although the final exams were coming up in two weeks, compared to his life, the exams were nothing.

He rested for a while at noon, attended classes in the afternoon, and practiced the Three Yang Fist in the evening.

In the evening, after returning to the dormitory, Lu Li thought for a moment, found some paper and a pen, and began to practice talismans and Daoist techniques.

Recent events had taught him that cultivators were nowhere to be found and probably no longer existed, but there were still Celestial Masters and ghosts around. The Three Yang Fist might still be useful against ancient martial arts experts, but it would be difficult to defeat a Celestial Master.

Perhaps only a Celestial Master truly understood another Celestial Master. In their hands, even the most insignificant object could cause a storm.

Celestial Masters practiced seals, talismans, incantations, and magical weapons, which were hand seals, talismans, incantations, and magical weapons. Among these, magical weapons were the hardest to obtain, incantations and hand seals were the most confidential, and talismans were the hardest to succeed in.

Lu Li now had all four. The seals, talismans, and incantations all came from orthodox traditions, and with Itō Kenji's samurai sword, the problem of magical weapons was also solved. As long as he practiced more, except for his realm, which couldn't be improved in a short time, he could be considered a true Celestial Master.

The next day, Lu Li continued to go to the stadium to practice the Three Yang Fist.

As soon as he entered the stadium, he immediately noticed that Professor Jin wasn't practicing Tai Chi but was looking at the entrance, as if waiting for him.

Sure enough, as soon as he approached, Professor Jin came up to him, patted his shoulder, and smiled, "Lu Li, who defeated Itō Kenji with the Xue Family Fist yesterday, was it you?"

Lu Li smiled, "I didn't really want to go, but he was so arrogant that I couldn't help but feel itchy."

"Ha ha, good kid."

Professor Jin laughed heartily.

Lu Li scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed. Although he always respected him, in terms of age, he was actually much older.

"Lu Li, I'm here."

At that moment, a voice came from behind. Lu Li turned around and saw Liang Jun. Liang Jun had dark circles under his eyes and looked exhausted, clearly not having slept well the night before.

"Have you made up your mind?"

"Yes, I want to become your disciple and learn ancient martial arts," Liang Jun nodded firmly.

Lu Li's face immediately turned strange. He thought to himself, becoming my disciple, you think it's that easy? If Xue Renzhi found out, he would break your legs.

"Being my disciple is unnecessary. I'll teach you the Three Yang Fist, and you must study it diligently and not forget the rules."

Hearing this, Liang Jun was somewhat disappointed, but as long as he could learn martial arts, it didn't matter whether he became a disciple or not.

"Let's start now. I'll teach you the Three Yang Fist's mental technique first."

Lu Li wasn't a nagging person, and Liang Jun's physique was indeed good. What surprised him even more was that Liang Jun might have a better aptitude for cultivation than for ancient martial arts. Unfortunately, the earth's primordial energy was now so thin that he couldn't teach him.

The two of them, one teaching and the other learning, quickly became engrossed.

Professor Jin first looked at Liang Jun, stroked his beard, and nodded: a prodigal son returning to the right path, not bad at all. Then he looked at Lu Li, and his eyes were full of admiration. Selflessly teaching outsiders such advanced skills was a realm that even he, an old senior, couldn't achieve.

Seven days passed in a flash. Liang Jun learned quickly, and the Three Yang Fist's movements were already well-practiced. As for the mental technique, it required time to accumulate.

Of course, drinking the Great Yuan Soup would also work, but Lu Li didn't plan to do that. He decided to observe him for a year or half a year to test his character.

After a day of practice, Lu Li returned to the dormitory and sat on a stool until ten o'clock.

He suddenly stood up, took out a stack of talismans from the drawer, and found the samurai sword. After getting everything ready, he walked to the second-floor window, looked around, and then pushed the window open and jumped down.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, he quickly ran, quickly crossing the iron fence and heading towards the back mountain.

The effects of practicing Daoist techniques were evident. Besides obtaining dozens of talismans, it also made him more sensitive to yin energy.

While practicing Daoist techniques last night, he suddenly sensed a massive yin energy fluctuation coming from the back mountain. The fluctuation was brief, and if he hadn't recently improved his cultivation, he might not have noticed it.

Thinking of the terrifying consequences of a yin energy outbreak, Lu Li didn't dare to be careless and decided to investigate.

It was June, and the mountain was lush with vegetation and vines everywhere.

Before he even climbed the small hill, he was already drenched in sweat.

Continuing forward, he climbed over three mountains, and the temperature dropped rapidly. The alternating cold and heat made Lu Li's expression extremely serious. The yin energy was so dense that it affected the temperature, which was terrifying!

"Heavenly Eye, open."

Standing on the waist of the fifth mountain, Lu Li looked down at the valley between the two mountains and opened his Heavenly Eye.

As soon as the Heavenly Eye opened, the world instantly turned black and white. In his vision, a dense black smoke column rose from the valley. The smoke column seemed to breathe, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

"Is it a seal?"

Lu Li was puzzled, holding the samurai sword and walking down quickly. Just as he reached the edge of the valley, he suddenly saw a person standing not far away. From the figure, it was clearly a girl.

Hearing the sound behind her, the girl turned her head almost simultaneously.

The two of them looked at each other and exclaimed in unison, "Why is it you?"

"Lu Li, it's very dangerous here. Your strength is insufficient, so it's best to leave quickly." Xia Qingxuan hurriedly urged, not caring about the awkwardness.

Lu Li asked calmly, "You discovered this place long ago?"

"Yes," Xia Qingxuan explained, "I entered Hai Cheng University mainly to monitor this extremely yin place. If I detect the seal loosening, I must find a way to reseal it."

"What's happening now?"

"I'm not sure. The seal's power is weakening rapidly. At this rate, it will break in less than a month. I underestimated the power of this extremely yin place. With my current strength, I can't handle it, but I've already informed my master, and he will arrive in a few days."

"Oh?"

Lu Li was slightly surprised. He guessed that Xia Qingxuan was likely already at the innate level. If she couldn't handle it, he certainly couldn't either.

Should he use the Four Great Sealing Spells again? Although there were no obvious side effects last time, he had a vague worry. What if he became a fool one day?

"I'll go and take a look first."

"Don't go."

Just as Xia Qingxuan shouted, she saw Lu Li take out several talismans, shout "activate," and the talismans instantly burned, giving him a layer of hazy red light.

"Defensive talismans?"

Xia Qingxuan exclaimed in surprise, thought for a moment, and then didn't stop him.

With the talismans protecting him, Lu Li wasn't too worried and slowly approached the center of the valley.

The closer he got, the more surprised he became. Given the amount of yin energy emitted from the extremely yin place, this distance should have been filled with yin energy, but that wasn't the case.

There was not a trace of yin energy here; instead, it felt warm, as if he were basking in the sun.

At a distance of only three meters from the extremely yin place, Lu Li finally stopped, staring at the black, one-meter-square area, feeling a chill.

"What's going on?"

At such a close distance, even a dozen amulets would probably be useless, yet he hadn't sensed any danger, which was too strange.

Suddenly, Lu Li's heart stirred, and he quickly looked around the surrounding mountains. A flash of insight crossed his eyes: perhaps it wasn't an extremely yin place but an array.
