It was the fifteenth day that Yi Yun came to the library.
"Young man, you seem to like the collection of books here!" Just as Yi Yun was putting a book he had just finished reading back on the shelf, a smiling old man came over and said.
This old man was dressed in a loose dark red robe, with a half-inch white beard on his face and a charming smile.
"The old gentleman is right, these books are quite helpful to me." Yi Yun responded politely.
"Hahaha, I discovered you half a month ago. Most of the books here are theoretical descriptions, which are not interesting to read. It's rare for a student as young as you to come here every day."
Yi Yun is now over fifteen years old. He said that Yi Yun is young is not appropriate, but compared to this old man's age, it is not wrong.
"You must not be a student of Tianfeng College. The price of coming here is not cheap, but you have been here every day for fifteen days without stopping. Your eagerness to learn is really admirable." The old gentleman said with a smile.
Yi Yun didn't care at all about the gold coins he spent, he only cared about whether he could find the information he wanted. This old man said he was admirable, but he was obviously wrong and made Yi Yun ashamed.
"The old gentleman is being polite. I'm just here to try my luck and see if I can find the historical materials I need. I'm not as eager to learn as the old gentleman said."
"Oh? So, young man, have you found the books and materials you thought of in this library?"
"It's a bit of a gain." After thinking for a while, Yi Yun replied: "But it's far from what I expected before coming here. To be honest, I think the name of this Tianfeng Library is a bit overstated.
"
"oh?"
Yi Yun continued: "I haven't read other books, and I don't understand them. Most of the books I've read are about magic and fighting spirit. As far as magic is concerned, there are a lot of books here, but most of them are just introductions.
In terms of theory, there is not even one that really touches on the key points, such as the operation of magic, the condensation of magic power, and most importantly, the magic that can be used by each star level, let alone the ancient books widely circulated by the outside world.
Such treasures.”
After hearing this, the old man laughed out loud: "Young people don't have much experience. What you just said are all core in the field of magic. Every country, every academy, every inheritance family,
How can you expect to find this knowledge in a library if you treasure these up like treasures?"
Yi Yun was shocked when he heard this!
"Young man, are you a magician? Have you reached that star level?" the old gentleman asked with a smile.
"Four stars." Yi Yun answered truthfully.
For some reason, he always treated this old gentleman unconsciously, treated him with caution, lowered his attitude, and gave him enough respect, as if it was a matter of course.
"Four stars? Then you are qualified to apply for Tianfeng Academy. You should hope so too, right?" the old gentleman said matter-of-factly.
"No. My goal is Qiwu Royal Academy, and that is my only goal." Yi Yun shook his head and responded.
"What? Qiwu Academy? What's so good about that shabby academy!" The old man suddenly changed his face and said angrily.
Yi Yun was also stunned! He had never heard of anyone using the word "shabby" to describe the Royal Academy, which ranked number one in the empire.
"Huh!" The old gentleman glared at Yi Yun again, and then walked away angrily.
Yi Yun watched the old man walk out of the library angrily, feeling baffled. He stayed for a while and then continued reading.
The next day.
"Good morning to you young man."
As soon as Yi Yung entered the library, he unexpectedly saw the strange old gentleman from yesterday again.
"It's early, sir. I really didn't expect to meet you so early in the morning." Yi Yun said politely.
The library had just opened at this time, and except for the two of them, no one else had come in yet.
"You said yesterday that you were a four-star disciple, right?" the old gentleman suddenly asked.
"This...yes!" Yi Yun was a little confused.
"Take it!" The old gentleman suddenly threw a book to Yi Yun.
Yi Yun stretched out his hand to take it, and looked at the book in his hand strangely. He saw a few big words on the writing: "Simplified version of the four-star disciple magic encyclopedia."
Yi Yun was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of surprise. He ignored the old man standing aside and eagerly opened the pages of the book.
After turning the first page, Yi Yun was immediately shocked to realize that this book was actually an ancient book that was rumored to be: "Written in the year 8940 of Qiongwu Calendar."
It was exactly over a thousand years ago.
My heart suddenly felt hot, and I couldn't contain my excitement. I quickly skipped the other six types of magic and turned directly to the chapter introducing the two types of water and fire.
This ancient book not only introduces the names of magic moves, but also describes all four-star magic in detail one by one.
The way magic works, the timing and advantages and disadvantages of using magic moves, learning and training methods, and even the most important thing, magic words and spells! Even the chanting of spells is completely written down in detail.
Yi Yun flipped through the pages one by one and memorized every word in the book. It took a long time before he closed the book.
Yi Yun didn't know that when he looked at it, he was completely immersed in his own world, paying no attention to anyone else. He actually saw from early morning to dusk in the evening, and the whole day passed by so quietly.
It has been more than a year since he reached the realm of four-star apprentices. He is strong enough, but Kunai cannot know the spell of four-star magic. Therefore, during the Sunset Mountains, even if the situation is critical, he can only use the three-star realm.
Using magic to fight is equivalent to greatly reducing your strength, and you have been in close proximity to death several times.
Now, he finally got to experience his long-cherished wish and learn all the magic spells of all the four-star disciples. Yi Yun felt unspeakably happy if his magic strength suddenly increased significantly.
The blood in his heart surged like a tide, and the magic power surged in his body. For a moment, Yi Yun couldn't suppress the magic power flowing out of his body. The magic elements that escaped gathered on the surface of his body, forming a faint halo. Yi Yun saw one
Shocked, he immediately took back the spilled magic power into his body.
It's very strange! No one came into the library section where Yi Yun was located all day today, except for him and the old gentleman.
The old gentleman was sitting on a chair with a low table in front of him. A pot of fragrant tea was brewed on the table. He took a sip of tea and looked at Yi Yun who had been standing all day with a smile on his face.
He had been looking at Yi Yun for a whole day, but he was not tired of it. Instead, he became more and more interested. It was strange, as if there was a magic power in this young man that made him never tire of it.
Yi Yun closed the ancient book in his hand and stood there silently meditating. He was about to speak when suddenly, he was shocked to see a strong magical aura coming from the young man's body, and a halo of elemental light appeared on his body and disappeared in a flash.
In an instant, he could see the scene clearly and was dumbfounded: "Fire element, no, there is also water element... dual magic element?"
As soon as he thought about it, he jumped up in shock and unconsciously crushed the century-old porcelain cup in his hand that he loved so much. He was shocked and said in his heart: "Impossible! It is actually a physique with dual attributes that are incompatible? How can such a physique reach the level of a four-star disciple?
?”
"The two-color halo of red and blue...the two elements gathered at the same time...it's unmistakable! It's really the two elements of water and fire that are mutually reinforcing each other at the same time!" He was shocked in his heart, his mind was churning, and a hint of obvious joy suddenly flashed through his eyes.
, but immediately calmed down.
He looked at Yi Yun calmly and found that he was not only young, but an underage boy at all. The joy in his heart suddenly turned into ecstasy.
Yi Yun had woken up at this time. He looked around strangely and found that except for the old gentleman, no one was here.
"Old sir, thank you very much. Yi Yun has received a great favor from you." At this time, of course Yi Yun knew that this old gentleman was no ordinary person, so he said sincerely his thanks.
"Sit down." The old gentleman pointed to a chair and said.
After Yi Yun sat down, he asked slowly and calmly: "Is this ancient book helpful to you?"
“Very helpful, thank you again sir.”
"In that case," the old gentleman flicked a piece of paper in front of Yi Yun and said, "Then sign it."
"What's this?"
He tried his best to put on an amiable smile, raised the corners of his mouth exaggeratedly, narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile: "Application for admission to Tianfeng College."
"What?" Yi Yun was stunned.
"Young man, do you think you can read thousands of years of ancient books casually? That is the treasure of Tianfeng College!" the old man said seriously.
"But... you gave it to me yourself, old gentleman. I didn't ask for it."
Yi Yun cursed in his heart. It was just an ancient book about four-star magic. Although it was precious, it could not be said to be the treasure of the academy. If that were the case, then the academy would have collapsed.
"This is not the point. The important thing is that you read it, and it will be of great help to you. And, it happens to be the treasure of Tianfeng College... So, it's your turn to pay the price.
It shows sincerity." The old gentleman said.
Yi Yun was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to argue. He gritted his teeth and said firmly: "No way! My goal is only Qiwu Wang Family Academy!"
"Huh!" The old man cheered up when he heard about Qiwu Academy. After a while, he calmed down and sighed: "Forget it! I shouldn't embarrass young people. I don't want to enter Tianfeng Academy.
Okay, just pay some fees for reading ancient books, ugh~~!"
"That's no problem! It's also what it should be." Yi Yun also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
Anything that could be solved with gold coins would not be a big deal, so Yi Yun felt relieved.
"How much does it cost?"
"Well... not much, just 400,000 gold coins." The old gentleman smiled very kindly.
Four hundred thousand gold coins?
Yi Yun suddenly jumped up and said angrily: "Old sir, you are simply robbing me! You want 400,000 gold coins to read a book? Isn't this justified?"
The old gentleman waved his hand and said with a smile: "I told you, this is not a book, it is the treasure of Tianfeng College. Four hundred thousand? It's too cheap!"
"Old sir, you..." Yi Yun was so angry that he couldn't speak when he saw this old fox who couldn't get enough of anything.
"Why do you only want to go to Qiwu Academy?" the old gentleman suddenly asked.
"Because there are not only powerful people there, but also the best teachers and resources in the entire empire. Going there will give me a better chance of becoming a high-level powerful person!" Yi Yun said truthfully.
"Oh? So, if I promise you that after you join Tianfeng Academy, you can have a high-level expert as your mentor, would you like to reconsider?"
"High-level experts? How is it possible? All new students are taught by six-star teachers. Every higher education college is the same." Yi Yun had obviously inquired about it a long time ago and understood the situation quite well.
The old gentleman burst out laughing: "The full-time teacher I give you is the Nine-Star Dharma Master!"
"What?"
"Old sir, don't talk nonsense! Who are you?" Yi Yun calmed down instantly and asked coldly.
The old gentleman suddenly stopped smiling, and an invisible pressure that seemed to be substantial rose from his body. Under Yi Yun's increasingly surprised gaze, he solemnly said, "I am the dean of Tianfeng College—Mino."
