Life in Zhuge is even more monotonous than Xia Huang imagined.

Because the palm pavilion has not been in seclusion, Xia Huang was unable to formally join the bamboo pavilion. Fortunately, the third senior brother Du Mo and the fourth senior brother Li Zhibai did not regard him as an outsider and enthusiastically helped him adapt to the life of the bamboo pavilion, which gradually faded his sense of strangeness.

On the top of Mingzhu Peak, there is a main pavilion built with bamboo all over the body, majestic and fresh and natural beauty. On the side of the main pavilion are twelve secondary pavilions, all of which are the residences of disciples. Before Xia Huang went up the mountain, there were seven secondary pavilions that were idle. Fortunately, the disciples of the bamboo pavilion were not lazy either. Even the idle secondary pavilions were cleaned up.

"Old Liu." Du Mo patted Xia Huang on the shoulder, "The Sixth Deputy Pavilion is your future residence, and the remaining six will be cleaned by you in the future. Don't say we bullied you, everyone of our disciples of the Zhu Pavilion has done this job. When I just joined the Zhu Pavilion, I had to clean nine deputy Pavilions, which was much harder than you."

Xia Huang nodded without complaining. This little job is nothing to him and it cannot waste much time.

"Did you see there?" Du Mo pointed to an independent building in the distance, "that is the casting furnace in our bamboo pavilion. No one has used it before. Since you know how to cast, you can freely use the casting furnace and the materials inside it. However, because no one has used it, it is all basic materials. If you want better materials, you have to rely on yourself."

"Of course." For Xia Huang, practicing casting is more of his way of cultivation. As for the materials, it is not the issue he cares about the most.

"When the Master of the Palm Master comes out of seclusion and officially accepts you as his disciple, he will personally see if you really have the talent for casting. The Master of the Palm Master is very strict. Lao Liu, you'd better go to the casting furnace to get familiar with it first." Du Mo kindly reminded.

"Senior Brother Third, don't worry." Xia Huang is still confident about his casting technique. What he cares more about now is the whereabouts of "The Second of the Nine Heavens". "Senior Brother Third, where are our Zhuge Collection stored?"

"Collection of books? Are you interested in books? It turns out that you are born to be a member of our bamboo pavilion!" Du Mo smiled and pointed at the eye-catching building complex behind the main pavilion, "Did you see it? Those are all our bamboo pavilion books!"

Zhuge is known as the "Shenzhao Sea of ​​Books". It is known as the place with the most books in the Shenzhao Empire. On this building with the most numerous buildings on the top of Mingzhu Peak is naturally the bookstore. In front of Xia Huang, there are countless tall books standing at this moment.

The orientation of these books seems to be incompatible with a certain special formation, giving people an inviolable sense of sacredness.

"We have 480 books in Zhuge, each with 124 books in each bookstore, and each with 33,000 books. No matter what book you want to read, you can find it in our books." Speaking of Zhuge's bookstore, a look of pride appeared on Du Mo's face, "However, after you finish reading, you must put the book back to your original place."

"Yeah. Then can I go and have a look now?"

With so many books, even if they are classified and stored, it is not easy to find "The Second of the Nine Heavens". Xia Huang wanted to rush into the bookstore and find "The Second of the Nine Heavens" to start a new practice.

Only by improving your strength as soon as possible can you go down to the abyss of the back mountain to retrieve the lost Jinghong Sword as soon as possible.

The feeling of not having a sword in hand is not a wonderful experience for Xia Huang.

When Du Mo heard that Xia Huang wanted to enter the bookstore now, he looked embarrassed on his face: "This... Lao Liu, this may not work... To enter the bookstore, except for the official disciples of Zhu Pavilion, you must obtain the consent of the prefecture pavilion. Even if I want to let you in, there is no way. Because..."

Du Mo pulled up the sleeve of his left hand and exposed the green bamboo leaf talisman on his arm.

"This is the mark of our disciples in the bamboo pavilion. You don't have this mark on you. If you rashly enter the bookstore, you will touch the ban on the bookstore! The ban on these bookstores is left by the first master pavilion, and it is powerful. Even if I am, I will be destroyed into a scum in an instant. I must not try it easily."

"So there is such a ban." Xia Huang had to temporarily give up his plan to find "The Second of the Nine Heavens", "Then I'll go to the casting furnace first."

Du Mo thought Xia Huang was going to go to the casting furnace to get familiar with it, so he did not follow Xia Huang to go with him. He smiled and said goodbye to Xia Huang, and returned to his deputy pavilion to rest.

The casting furnace in Zhuge is not much different from the one that Xia Huang saw since childhood. If there is any huge difference, it is that the casting furnace here is carved with many strange patterns, and a certain force flows in these patterns, maintaining the stability of the casting furnace itself and the flames in the casting furnace.

Xia Huang lifted the heavy hammer next to him with one hand, and selected a piece of subway block that was so ordinary that it could not be more ordinary, and threw it into the burning stove with the other hand.

After experiencing a big battle with Ji Kui, Xia Huang had already felt signs of another improvement in the true energy in his body.

In order to stabilize this part of the true energy, the "Heaven forging the foundation" method taught to him by my father is the best way!

After several improvements in his strength, how many hammers can he swing continuously? Xia Huang himself is also looking forward to this question!

After clamping the burnt iron block, Xia Huang swung his first hammer in the bamboo pavilion with all his attention!

"clang!"

The crisp sound of gold and iron coming from the casting furnace resounded through the entire Mingzhu Peak for the first time!

...

"Seven hundred and eighty-one, seven hundred and eighty-two, seven hundred and eighty-three...seven hundred and eighty-five!"

After swinging the 785th hammer, Xia Huang finally stopped the heavy hammer in his hand and panted and controlled the ice and fire flow in his body to recover his lost physical strength.

Seven hundred and eighty-five hammers, this number surprised Xia Huang.

With the recovery of the physical strength of the double flow of ice and fire, the true energy in Xia Huang's body has also truly stabilized, and he is only one line away from entering the seventh level of Qi nourishing realm!

"Tomorrow! Before tomorrow morning! I must break through to the seventh level of Qi nourishing realm!" Xia Huang set a goal for himself!

Relying on the different effects of the flow of ice and fire, Xia Huang continued to practice, recover, practice, and recover. In one night, even he himself didn't know how many rounds and turns he had repeated like this.

The sound of iron striking sounded in the casting furnace at the top of Mingzhu Peak for a whole night. When the first ray of sunshine of the next morning came, the sound of iron striking in the casting furnace came to an abrupt end.

The next moment, a sharp aura that seemed to be a long sword unsheathed suddenly soared into the sky from the casting furnace!

"Congratulations to Lao Liu, congratulations to Lao Liu. In just one night, you successfully broke through to the seventh level of Qi nourishing realm. Such talent really makes us senior brothers ashamed."

As Xia Huang had just completed the breakthrough, the congratulations of Du Mo and Li Zhibai came in from the casting furnace.

The door of the casting furnace was pushed open, and Du Mo and Li Zhibai, who were smiling, walked in from outside the door one after another. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to have woken up for a long time.

"Second Brother Third, Brother Fourth got up so early." Xia Huang put down the hammer in his hand, and there was also a look of joy on his face.

After practicing hard overnight, he went from just feeling the signs of breakthrough to truly breaking through to the seventh level of Qi-Healing Realm. Such progress was enough to satisfy Xia Huang himself.

"What do you say to get up early? You jingle here all night, and we can't fall asleep even if we want to sleep!" Li Zhibai joked slightly.

Xia Huang was stunned for a moment. He had no idea that his practice at night would affect his senior brothers' rest.

Seeing Xia Huang's shocked expression, Du Mo immediately smiled and said, "Lao Liu, don't listen to his nonsense. The deputy pavilion has soundproofing restrictions. As long as he wants to isolate the sound outside, he will never hear the movements here. Lao Liu, you are too honest, and you actually believe it foolishly."

"Senior Brother Third, it doesn't matter if you expose me, but you can't expose me so quickly, I want to save face." Li Zhibai looked at Du Mo with a serious face, with an expression of "If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I will never end up with you."

Du Mo has known Li Zhibai for a long time. He gave Li Zhibai a blank look and continued to say to Xia Huang: "Lao Liu, your cultivation talent is indeed good. Maybe, you will have good performance in the next 'Four Pavilions Jingying' Lao Liu. There are only three months left in this year. Lao Liu, just look at us well and embarrass you."

"Hmph! Do you know you are embarrassing? The incompetent boy!" A majestic voice suddenly came from outside.

When Du Mo and Li Zhibai heard this voice, they were shocked and quickly turned around to salute: "I have seen the Master of the Palm Pavilion!"

I saw that the visitor had a thin face, quite old, a little hunched, shorter than ordinary people, and looked no different from ordinary people. However, the robe next to him with white brocade bamboo and waist emitting a cool and cold air, and a large jade pendant with the word "bamboo" engraved shows his extraordinary identity-

The bamboo pavilion is in the evening clouds!

"What you should admire is not his cultivation talent, but his diligence in practicing hard all night!" Mu Yunping taught his two disciples a lesson with anger.

Du Mo and Li Zhibai dared not refute their master's words, and they lowered their heads and listened honestly, not daring to speak out loud.

"Are you the little disciples chosen by these two kids for me?" Mu Yunping looked at Xia Huang.

The look of the eyes of an old man made Xia Huang feel a sense of terrifying oppression. At the moment Mu Yunping looked at each other, Xia Huang finally understood why Du Mo and Li Zhibai were so respectful.

This is a kind of majesty that makes them unable to even the idea of ​​confrontation produce the majesty of a strong man!

"Yes." Xia Huang lowered her head slightly and replied respectfully.

"You have a basic practice method that is most suitable for you. I have no good guidance for your basic practice." After that, Mu Yunping, the Zhuge Zhangge, turned around without looking back and came out of the casting furnace.

Xia Huang was about to ask about his apprenticeship, but was surprised to find that there was a special mark of bamboo leaves on his arm at some point, and he even held two elixirs with a faint fragrance in his right hand...
