Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 219 Premonition of a Breakthrough

The news that Xu Shen returned alive was only told to some important people and was not widely publicized.

He has always believed that slow development is the right path, as being too arrogant will easily lead to being blown up to the sky and unable to come down.

Just as he was replying to messages one by one with his butt sticking out, the door of the hotel room was opened.

Mu Ningxue looked exhausted and expressionless: "Why didn't you reply to my message?"

Xu Shen was a little embarrassed.

The Yuanyang Ring had been silent for a long time, who knew why this girl suddenly came here.

Just as he was racking his brains to find an excuse, the girl suddenly ran over and hugged him tightly.

She said nothing, just quietly resting her forehead against his chin.

Suddenly, she bit his neck hard.

That feeling, wild and a bit like Isa.

Xu Shen bared his teeth and was about to say something, but when he looked down and saw the girl's red eyes, he suddenly became speechless.

“As long as you come back alive, it’s good.” Mu Ningxue pushed Xu Shen away and her expression returned to normal: “I want to go back.”

"Wait."

Xu Shen called Mu Ningxue and taught her the ancient Qigong technique.

"Take care of yourself. If you are bullied in the imperial capital, come find me."

"it is good"

The beauty left, and another sunny day came.

After returning to Mingzhu Academy, Xu Shen learned from Jiang Yunming about the follow-up of the experience in the deserted city.

Although Lu Nian died, he could not escape the accusation of killing a genius.

The entire Lu family suffered as an innocent bystander and had to pay the price for the mistakes he made.

Lu Zhenghe, one of the members of the training group, happens to be Lu Nian's younger brother. He is at the center of the storm, being criticized by angry citizens. For more than a month, he has not even dared to leave the gate of the Imperial Capital Academy.

"You deserve it!"

Xu Shen had no sympathy for his brother's plight at all.

Lu Nian didn't come earlier or later, but came when his brother was training. No one would believe that there was no trick.

"By the way, how did you escape from the mouth of a monarch-level demon?"

Jiang Yunming touched his half-bald forehead and asked the question he was most curious about.

"The story begins about two thousand years ago..."

Apart from the mysterious relationship between the Kunlun fox mother and the little fox, Xu Shen did not hide anything else.

He knew the seriousness of the matter. If this matter was kept secret, the country might misjudge the situation of the large tribes in Dongting Lake.

Although he had told Jiang Shaoli about this over the phone when he was in Corning, if Old Jiang knew about this, he might be able to save a few students who were planning to go to Dongting for training.

"So, out of hatred for humans, the Dongting Lake tribe might start a beast tide?"

Jiang Yunming's expression became much more serious.

"It's hard to say," Xu Shen said, "I'm just stating the facts, but it's hard for me to judge what an emperor who turned from a totem into a demon would think."

Jiang Yunming frowned.

An emperor-level demon is no longer something that can be controlled by someone of his level.

"Have you told anyone else about this?"

"I told Commander Shao Li when I was in Corning."

"That's good. If he knows, it means the Chinese military leader knows too."

Jiang Yunming breathed a sigh of relief and immediately called the red phone to inform Dean Xiao of the matter.

Then, the elusive Dean Xiao appeared directly in Jiang Yunming's office and said solemnly, "Yunming, please take a moment to notify the Academic Affairs Office to prohibit students from Mingzhu Academy from going to the Dongting Lake Tribe for training in the near future. Those who violate the order will bear the consequences of their own lives. This order will be copied to the Mingzhu Government, the Magic Association, the Judgment Council, and the Hunter Alliance, and reported to the Shenzhou Government Affairs Council to advise the relevant departments in Hubei and Hunan to prepare for emergency response and use top-secret channels. It's urgent."

"Okay," Jiang Yunming nodded.

"There's no need to mobilize such a large force," Xu Shen exclaimed.

"It's better to be safe than sorry. Human life is at stake. No matter how cautious you are, it's never too much." Dean Xiao glanced at Xu Shen and said, "I have something else to do. You two can chat as master and disciple. This news is very important. Xiao Xu, I'll show you my achievements when I come back."

After saying that, Dean Xiao disappeared again, and Xu Shen didn't even feel the slightest fluctuation in space.

"What an awesome space magic!"

During the month of chaos in Dongting Lake, he realized more than once the importance of displacement.

"I have decided. When I reach a higher level, I will awaken the space system!"

"High level? Still a long way off."

Jiang Yunming listened to Xu Shen's solemn promise and sneered while writing.

"Old Jiang, I almost forgot to tell you."

"what?"

“I feel like I’m about to break through.”

"Breakthrough?" Jiang Yunming was stunned: "You mean from intermediate level to advanced level?"

"Are there any other 'breakthroughs'?" Xu Shen asked half-jokingly.

During the month in Dongting, although he hovered on the line between life and death several times, the feeling of being repeatedly on the verge of the limit was like a heavy hammer forging iron, which made his foundation extremely solid.

And every time of hardship and suffering pushed the limit again and again, helping him to reach the edge of the bottleneck little by little.

At this point, he no longer had any doubts about whether he could break through the high-level barrier.

"real or fake?!!"

"Can I still lie to you?" Looking at Xu Shen's sincere eyes, Jiang Yunming felt that he was about to lose his temper. What was the point of all the hard work he had done for most of his life?
"You're so talented, little brat."

"It's not just because of your talent," Xu Shen said mysteriously, "I have a set of magical skills. Seeing that you have a unique bone structure, you must be a one-in-a-million genius. How about I teach you?"

"You want to teach me? The little brat has grown wings and is now a rebel, right?"

Jiang Yunming blew his beard and glared.

Xu Shen chuckled and said, "Ancient Qi Refining Technique, just tell me whether you want to learn it or not."

"What the hell?! You have all this stuff?!" Jiang Yunming lost his composure.

"I got it from the Demon Cave. I have tested it myself. It is safe and harmless. Everyone who uses it says it is good."

"It seems like you were keeping it to yourself back then, right?"

Jiang Yunming laughed and scolded, but he had no grudges.

It's already good enough that they pay a part of it to Mingzhu Academy, so what else do they want?

"It's not that I want to hide it." Xu Shen naturally saw that Jiang Yunming was not angry at all, but he still gave an explanation.

"We also compiled this stuff and submitted it, but it wasn't until I practiced it myself that I realized that what I wrote lacked that indescribable rhythm. I couldn't practice it at all. Even if I read the book to pieces, I couldn't understand anything."

"If I hadn't practiced it myself, I would have really thought that the ancient Qigong masters' so-called master-disciple inheritance must be passed down orally and mentally was just an excuse for cherishing something. Although Qigong is good, it is too difficult to popularize it on a large scale. There is a reason why the ancient king chose the Heavenly Father's method."

"Fuck, so mysterious?"

Listening to Xu Shen's description, Jiang Yunming vaguely felt the extraordinary nature of this ancient Qi-refining technique.

He immediately changed his words, "I have to learn Qigong", "I also want to learn Qigong", "It's better to learn one more", "I want to see what mysteries this Qigong has!" and other such words came out of his mouth.

Otherwise, he is the dean. Look at his smooth ability to change his expression.

After Jiang Yunming finished drafting the document and asked his confidential secretary to take it away, he walked up to Xu Shen eager to try.

"Open your mind and I will teach you."

Out of trust in Xu Shen, although Jiang Yunming was skeptical, he still let go of his spiritual world.

Xu Shen used his thoughts as a guide to completely imprint the inheritance bestowed upon him by the king into Jiang Yunming's spiritual world.

But unfortunately, after sitting cross-legged for a long time, Chiang Kai-shek could not sense the so-called "Qi" at all.

"This shouldn't be the case," Xu Shen was suspicious.

He taught this to the twin sisters when he was in Dongting Lake, and they could generate a sense of energy immediately.

After coming back, I also made arrangements for Ding Yumian and Mu Ningxue.

Not surprisingly, the two girls succeeded in their practice.

"Perhaps it will take some time," Xu Shen thought, "According to records, it is normal to take several months or even years to sense Qi."

"How long did it take you to do it?"

"I..." Xu Shen was silent.

"understood."

Why is the gap between people so big!

Jiang Yunming waved his hands and said in a somewhat disinterested tone: "Nothing, I have to see you off."

"No, Teacher Jiang, I'm about to break through and need a better training environment."

Xu Shen licked his face and smiled.

"Now you know how to call me teacher?" Jiang Yunming snorted in dissatisfaction: "Have you accumulated enough Galaxy Veins? Do you want your teacher to support you a little?"

"No," Xu Shen shook his head and said, "The records of Qi Refining Techniques state that a breakthrough with external objects may result in the impurity of 'Qi'. It is best to find an element extreme point, use external pressure and internal power to break through the extreme point with your own strength."

"Ridiculous, how can a breakthrough to a higher level be achieved without rare materials and treasures?" Jiang Yunming obviously did not believe it.

"I want to give it a try. If it doesn't work, I can just buy the Pulse of the Galaxy."

According to experience, he would need at least ten galactic veins to break through to the higher levels, which means tens of billions.

Although we are not short of this money, we can still save as much as possible.

When he reaches a high level, he still has a lot of stars to raise that need to consume essence and soul.

Jiang Yunming pondered over it and felt that what the brat said was right.

If you fail, change it.

But the Elemental Polar...

This kind of place is not easy to find.

"Look at that three-step tower. It's big and square..."

Xu Shen reminded intentionally or unintentionally.

The opportunity to use the Three-Step Pagoda that originally belonged to him was transferred to Ding Yumian by the academy because of the death misunderstanding, and he used it all.

The academy handled this matter very openly, and Xu Shen had no grudges, but at the critical moment, he had no choice but to use it.

"So you're here for it?" Jiang Yunming laughed and scolded, "I knew this brat wouldn't come here for no reason. You could just say its name directly. Why do you have to go through so much trouble?"

Xu Shen chuckled: "You are so generous, can you please talk to Dean Xiao and let me borrow your money for a few days?"

"Why do we need to ask Dean Xiao for such a small matter?" Jiang Yunming threw out a badge and said, "Take it and use it."

"okay!"

Now that he had the things in hand, Xu Shen had no reason to stay any longer, so he waved goodbye and ran away.

"This boy"

Jiang Yunming laughed and shook his head.
