Chapter 7 Mastery of Ancient Writings

"Okay, senior, feel free to ask, I will definitely tell you everything."

Ye Xuan was a little curious about what questions Fa Lushan would ask him.

Fa Lushan looked Ye Xuan up and down, paused slightly as her eyes swept over his chest, and asked, "Is your body different from ordinary people's?"

"Senior, I don't understand."

Ye Xuan was shocked and wanted to pretend to be stupid.

"Hmph, don't try to fool me. You were hit by the elemental burst I fired from the front yesterday, and you were unscathed."

"As an ordinary person, without the elemental power increase of the Eye of God, your body must be different from ordinary people."

Ye Xuan understood that the super defensive power of the steel balloon was indeed noticed.

I can hide my physique from the classmates around me, but I can't hide it from Fa Lushan who is present.

He is worthy of being a legendary scholar of the Intellectualism School, and he will detect even the slightest clue.

As expected, he underestimated the heroes of the world.

Thinking of this, Ye Xuan concealed the existence of the system and said: "Yes, senior, I have been born with divine power since I was a child, and I have a strong ability to withstand strikes."

"Do you still have natural powers?"

Fa Lushan fell into deep thought, her eyes flickering slightly.

It is not uncommon for people's bodies to be different from ordinary people, but most of them are based on the category of ordinary people.

No matter how powerful the talent of an untrained ordinary person is, it will not surpass the owner of the Eye of God. This is the iron law of Teyvat.

Although the Pilan Heavy Machinery is an instrument for exploring the ruins on its own, it has mostly auxiliary functions.

But with the cooperation of the wind element, even a strong man like Sano would have a hard time resisting it head-on without getting hurt.

Fa Lushan looked at Ye Xuan in front of her, her breathing was steady and her face was rosy. It was obvious that her attack yesterday did not cause any harm to him.

Fa Lushan's curiosity as a scholar temporarily overshadowed her anger towards Ye Xuan, and she couldn't help but Ye Xuan asked: "Kid, can you accompany me to do an experiment to study your physical abnormalities?"

The girl who looked angry just now suddenly entered scholar mode.

The huge change made Ye Xuan complain slightly in his heart.Then: "Do you want to do an experiment?"

Ye Xuan felt a little conflicted, and naturally thought of various scenes of human experiments in movies from his previous life.

[Host: Ye Xuan] [Skill: Steel Balloon Lv.11; Ancient Writing Proficiency Lv.1 (not upgradeable)] Switched out the system, Ye Xuan looked at the skill bar.

The system does not provide detailed introduction to the physique of [Steel Balloon].

My knowledge of this physique is limited to anime from my previous life.

"It's just that the physical examination should be fine, and this may be an opportunity for me to find a way to become stronger quickly."

"Besides, from the character information, we know that Fa Lushan is not that kind of perverted scientist."

"If it were someone like the doctor who came here, I would definitely turn around and run away."

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Xuan agreed to the experiment.

After agreeing, Fa Lushan ignored Ye Xuan and went to prepare the experimental equipment, leaving him alone in the office.

"This woman didn't even say thank you. She was used as a guinea pig for nothing."

Feeling left out, Ye Xuan stood up and casually looked at the stone slabs placed in the room.

Most of the stone slabs are of ancient style and are carved with complex patterns and characters.Some glow slightly blue and are full of technological elements.

Ye Xuan, who has done the "Desert Book" mission for many years, naturally knows that these are the items in the Red King's ruins.

Looking at the stone slab in front of him, Ye Xuan's heart moved and he looked at his other skill.

[Ancient Writing Mastery Level 1 (non-upgradeable)] A skill that cannot be upgraded, in other words, it is similar to a passive talent.

Try it out and see how it works.

As Ye Xuan watched intently, the chaotic ancient characters in front of him broke into a language he was familiar with.

You can also easily use ancient characters to express your own meaning.

It is equivalent to learning a language.

"The passive skills are really great. If this were in the previous life, I could easily turn the simultaneous interpreter into a scumbag in seconds."

Thinking happily in my heart, I picked up another ancient book and flipped through it.

The book contains another kind of ancient writing that looks like ghostly drawings, which would make ordinary people dizzy just by looking at it.

But under the influence of [Proficiency in Ancient Letters], Ye Xuan could easily understand the content recorded in the book.

...Half an hour later, Fa Lushan returned to the house holding the experimental equipment and saw Ye Xuan flipping through his ancient books boredly.

"You can actually understand the words in the book?"

Fa Lushan asked in surprise.

"Of course, it's just basic operations."

Ye Xuan felt proud and replied calmly.

"Really? Let me test you."

Fa Lushan stepped forward and snatched the book from Ye Xuan's hand, flipped through a few pages, pointed to a piece of text on it and asked: "Translate what is written on it."

“People used plant pulp and ore powder to leave images on the walls of the temple..., depicting the rule of the Red King for a long time.”

Fa Lushan glanced at Ye Xuan, and without waiting for him to speak, she took out a thick ancient book from the bookshelf, found a random part of the content, and continued to ask questions.

"Those who acquire the wisdom of Akhmar will lose their form and will be unable to tell the story of the splendor he created... to every dim-witted person who speaks the evil words of the Red King."

"Correct again."

Fa Lushan was surprised. Just to make things difficult for Ye Xuan, she deliberately found out the contents written in two different ancient languages.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan was translated accurately. Judging from his casual look, it was obvious that he had completely mastered both languages.

"This little pervert is so good at studying ancient characters."

Fa Lushan admired in her heart, but also felt strange.

Ancient writing is not as boring as others. Even if you are gifted, you will have to study hard day and night to master one of them.

She had also investigated Ye Xuan's grades through the void. He had failed various essay exams and was often absent from classes.

He was just dawdling around all day, and it didn't look like he could calm down and study ancient texts.

But..., looking at Ye Xuan who picked up another ancient document and flipped through it at will, Fa Lushan had to admit that geniuses might really exist in this world.

"Damn it, why can such a idle little pervert have such a talent?"

"What a waste of time."

Fa Lushan was very conflicted at this time.Due to the special nature of her major, her biggest headache is not being able to recruit the students she likes.

Many scholars who were interested in institutional research were very excited at first when they learned that Senior Fa Lushan was interested in recruiting them. Then, when they learned that they were going to the Zhilun Sect, they all showed embarrassment and declined politely.

The reason is that the intellectual school is a school that regards language and writing as the core essence of the world.

Scholars of the Epistemology School may have made great achievements in other fields, but their main work is centered on text research.

When many students think that they will have to learn countless boring ancient texts and translate endless documents and historical materials in the future, they feel that their hair is about to fly away from them. For the sake of physical and mental health, they stay away from the door of the Intellectualism School.

This also led to the fact that Fa Lushan failed to recruit students even though she was highly respected and beautiful.

Looking at Ye Xuan, Fa Lushan felt mixed feelings in her heart.

Not only was he angry that Ye Xuan had such a talent, but he didn't want to make progress or improve himself, and he openly molested himself in class, but he was also unwilling to let such an outstanding talent slip away from his hands.

After struggling again for a moment, Fa Lushan finally gritted her teeth and made a decision, saying bitterly in her heart: "It's decided, this brat must join my family. There is no such shop in this village. As for his stinking problem, he will be treated a little less when he comes to my place in the future." Change it for him."

"Tell him after you finish the experiment and make him agree."

Chapter 8 Experiments and Recruiting Disciples

Beside the experimental table, Ye Xuan looked at the experimental equipment prepared by Fa Lushan with a dark expression.

The table was filled with scalpels, pliers, alcohol cotton, syringes, and various colorful medicines, some of which were even bubbling.

Hello!These things don’t look good no matter how you look at them!

"Senior Fa Lushan, if you want to kill me, just say so."

Hearing this, Fa Lushan put down the potion in her hand and said arrogantly: "Ignorant brat, I have been familiar with this kind of basic alchemy experiment a hundred years ago, so don't worry~"

Turning her eyes, Fa Lushan looked at Ye Xuan, who was still dark-faced, and said seductively: "How about it, do you want to learn from me, my senior? I guarantee that you will rise to the top and become a great scholar that everyone respects in the future."

"But, Senior Fa Lushan, I just want to get my diploma and then go back to Liyue and continue to be a rich second generation."

Ye Xuan said realistically.

"You are a brat with no ambitions and short-sightedness. Your talent for writing is really in vain."

"As a noble scholar, it is simply unreasonable for him to think about just hanging around and going home to inherit the family property every day."

"Money is the most vulgar thing in the world. It will not be taken with you in life or death. Look at me, senior, I have always regarded money as dung and knowledge as precious jade."

The girl in front of him was still gushing, but Ye Xuan glared at him and retorted: "But I heard that not long ago, the great sage blocked the research funds applied for by the Zhilun sect, and someone was still making a fuss at the great sage. There was a big fuss.”

"Ah, that's..., hum, the equipment is ready, hurry up and do the experiment."

Fa Lushan, who was exposed, looked embarrassed, glared at Ye Xuan angrily, and quickly changed the subject.

..."Senior, your potion must be reliable."

She took off her coat and looked at Fa Lushan who was mixing various strange liquids together and asked worriedly.

"Nonsense, after all, I am a great scholar who has lived for more than a hundred years. This simple preparation of potions is a piece of cake for me."

Fa Lushan was full of confidence and handed the newly prepared potion to Ye Xuan.

The potion was black and purple in color, and bubbles were constantly bubbling in the bottle, which reminded Ye Xuan of the methane pit in his previous life.

Listening to the slight sound of bubbles coming from inside, the corners of Ye Xuan's mouth twitched, and the hand holding the potion trembled slightly.

"If you go all out, I don't believe that my steel balloon can't handle a mere potion."
