C17 Astonishing Change
The days go by day after day, the happy time is always short, when you eat and drink and play in the day, time is like the water rushing by, and when you experience hardships, time is as long as a year.
Mu Tian's life began to become very regular. Every morning, he would meditate on the Family Secret Scripture, in the morning, he would learn the Eighteen Flame Slashes from Mu Wu, and in the afternoon, he would suffer under Mu Wu's torture. Oh no, that was physical training, at least that was what Mu Wu said. After dinner, he continued concocting pills until the morning.
The body of a cultivator was no longer the body of a mortal. The nourishment of spiritual energy caused a huge change to the body. A mortal needed sleep to rest, but for cultivators, the best thing to rest was to cultivate in silence so that they could quickly recover.
The days of training were boring, boring, and boring, and young people often liked to be lively and have fun the most. The best times to train were in their youth and their youth, and the results of a single day's training were usually something that one might not be able to achieve for a month to come. At this time, it was also the time when one had the hardest time to calm one's heart and quietly train. Training and playing were like a tug of war. Both sides forcefully tore apart the young man's surging heart. Winning one side would determine a person's life.
It had to be said that Mu Tian's talent was indeed pretty good and his adaptability was also very strong. In just ten days, Mu Tian had completely adapted to this boring, boring, and even arduous training.
With regards to the Raging Flames of the Eighteen Slashes, Mu Tian could completely execute the first six moves. Although his movements were still not skilled or perfect, this was already pretty good. With the current progress, learning all 18 moves within thirty days was not a problem.
Mu Tian was getting more and more used to physical training. The pain was getting smaller and smaller, and he was screaming less and less. Mu Wu suspected that he had mistaught Mu Tian, so he tried hard to think of a new method of training Mu Tian.
In the area of alchemy, Mu Tian had also made great progress. The first night, Mu Tian only managed to refine two Earth Spiritual Pill. On the tenth night, Mu Tian successfully refined seven Earth Spiritual Pill, and three of them reached the second grade fifth stage.
As for the Family Secret Scripture, although Mu Tian had been comprehending it for ten days, he did not seem to have made any progress. Although Mu Tian could understand all the content of the Secret Scripture language and understand the meaning of the Secret Scripture, cultivating it was two different things, it was completely ineffective. Mu Tian sometimes even thought that maybe he misunderstood the Secret Scripture, or maybe his cultivation method was wrong, or maybe the Secret Scripture itself was fake, and was just used by the Lord Patriarch to measure himself.
As it was a Family Secret Scripture, Mu Tian could not communicate with Mu Wen, and could not get the guidance of Mu Wen, so he could only comprehend it himself. The only people who cultivated this technique in the clan were the ancestor, the patriarch, and the grand elder. He could not see the patriarch, nor could he easily see the patriarch and the grand elder.
In the blink of an eye, twenty-two days had passed. This morning, Mu Tian had successfully refined eleven Earth Spiritual Pill, and eight of them had reached the level of second stage fifth stage. But even so, Mu Tian knew that he would not be able to complete the mission, so there was no need to think about going to Wangjing.
Out of the three quests, he had learned fifteen of the Raging Flames of the Eighteen Strikes. Completing them before the end of the month shouldn't be a problem. As for the Family Secret Scripture, he had no clue, but there were only eight days left to the pill refining process. With his current level and condition, it was obvious that he would not be able to complete it. Mu Tian decided to stop thinking about it and habitually started to comprehend the Secret Scripture.
The time Mu Tian practiced the Eighteen Flames of the Raging Flames was not fixed. As long as he woke up from his meditation, he would practice. Today, Mu Tian's situation seemed to be a little different. Not only did he not come in the morning, he did not come in the afternoon. Even until dinner time, he still did not appear.
Mu Wen couldn't help but to get worried. He stood up from the rocking chair and paced back and forth in the corridor.
Mu Wu was also worried. He went up and said, "Brother, do you want me to go over and take a look?"
Mu Wen shook his head.
"Bro, Mu Tian has never meditated for so long, do you think …" Wu Tie said.
Mu Wen said, "I'm not sure either! If he were to comprehend the secret techniques of his family, all our efforts would be wasted the moment we interrupt him! "
"Then what if, what if …" Mu Wu was unable to continue.
"Wait a little longer!" Mu Wen said.
The two brothers waited in torment. It was already late at night. Seeing Yue'er climbing up the mountain, Mu Wen couldn't wait any longer. "Come, let's go take a look!" Ye Zichen took Mu Wu and headed straight for Mu Tian's courtyard.
Entering Mu Tian's small courtyard, he found that everything was quiet, even the insects didn't chirp. Mu Wen couldn't help but furrow his brows. The silence was a little too excessive. He turned around and signaled Mu Wu to be careful and not to make any noise.
Slowly opening Mu Tian's room's door, it was extremely quiet, and there was clearly no one inside. The two brothers looked each other in the eye, and then walked towards Quiet Room.
Afraid that it would disturb Mu Tian who was trying to comprehend the technique, Mu Wen carefully pushed open Quiet Room's door. The door slowly swung open without making any sound. Mu Wen looked around the secret chamber, but there was still no one there.
Mu Wen did not say a word as he turned around and rushed towards the pill refining room. Mu Wu was stunned for a moment, then rushed into the Quiet Room. With just a glance, he immediately rushed out, chasing after Mu Wen.
Wu Tie walked to the outside of the pill cultivating room and stood still. The Pill Refining Room was the last place. If he still could not find Mu Tian, then there would be an accident. The two brothers were responsible for protecting Mu Tian. If something really happened to Mu Tian, Mu Wen didn't dare to think about it. He regretted not guarding Mu Tian at all.
Mu Tian's courtyard was temporarily divided, and the so-called cultivation Quiet Room and alchemy room were also temporarily renovated. Because they were inside the Mu Mansion, the surrounding area was guarded, so compared to the Tianbao Hall, it wasn't as sturdy as the buildings. No matter if it was the Quiet Room or the Pill Refining Room, they were both locked from the inside. Theoretically, as long as it was locked from the inside, it would be very difficult to open it from the outside, unless it was destroyed with force.
Wu Tie gently pushed the door of the pill refining room. He didn't move at all. It was obvious that Mu Tian was in the pill refining room. Mu Wen's heart was slightly at ease. He just didn't know if Mu Tian was concocting pills, meditating, or if something was wrong. Mu Wen hesitated. He didn't know if he should use force to open the door to the alchemy lab. If Mu Tian was refining pills, it would be better. If he was meditating on the family's secret technique, it could cause irreparable damage.
Mu Wu came to Mu Wen's back and saw Mu Wen's hesitation. He did not say anything to disturb Mu Wen and quietly waited for his next move.
Just as the two brothers were hesitating, the door to the pill refining room opened from the inside. Mu Tian appeared at the door.
"Brother Wen, Brother Wu are here!" Mu Tian said with a smile.
Mu Wen fixed his eyes on Mu Tian. Mu Tian's face was ruddy and full of energy. He looked like he didn't feel well at all. When he thought about how he had been on tenterhooks for the whole day, this brat was actually in a rage and scolded him, "You bastard!" Ye Zichen kicked Mu Tian.
Mu Tian also reacted very quickly. Seeing the anger on Mu Wen's face, he knew that it was not good and immediately wanted to dodge. Unfortunately, the difference in strength between the two was too big, and they were still a bit too slow and got kicked in half on the butt.
"Ah!" Mu Tian flew out and fell face first onto the ground.
Mu Wu said bitterly, "Serves you right!"
"Pah pah pah!" Mu Tian got up and spat out the dirt in his mouth, "Brother Wen, I didn't do anything wrong! Why did you hit me! "
"You still dare to talk back!" Mu Wen acted as if he was going to fight, but Mu Tian immediately took a few steps back after he saw the situation unfold.
"Brother Wen!" Brother Wen! We can talk it over! We can talk it over if we want to! " Mu Tian hurriedly waved his hands and said, "There must be a reason behind beating me, right?"
"Why do you ask?" Mu Wen said angrily, "Look at the time! What are you doing hiding in the pill refining room for the whole day? "
"You brat, do you think that you are so determined to not go to the Wangjing that you can't break it?" Mu Wu asked.
"All day!" Mu Tian looked up and saw a crescent moon hanging in the sky. He was a bit dazed and thought to himself, "I obviously started to comprehend the Family Secret Scripture early in the morning, but how did it suddenly turn into late night in the blink of an eye? Could it be that I've meditate for an entire day, but I don't feel like it's going to be that long!"
Mu Tian thought in his heart and unconsciously said it out loud. The two brothers Mu Wen and Mu Wu couldn't help but look at each other.
Mu Wen walked up and asked: "Are you saying that you have been studying the Family Secret Scripture, and not hiding inside to be lazy?"
Mu Tian said loudly, "Lazy?" What are you all thinking! I have been meditating on Secret Scripture s for a long time, and I did not know that I came out after feeling that someone had come! "
"You mean you felt us coming from inside?" Mu Wen was quite surprised and immediately asked.
"That's right!" Mu Tian nodded and replied.
"That's impossible! The Pill Refining Room is sealed! " Mu Wu shouted at the side. Although Innate Martial Masters could release Spiritual Sense, they were at most a step or two away, and they could feel that people were coming from outside the alchemy lab, at least ten steps away. Even though the Spiritual Sense of the alchemists were stronger than normal Martial Masters, it was impossible for them to reach such a distance, and it was also separated by the door of the alchemy room.
"You're sure!" Mu Wen asked again.
"Of course! "Of course I …" Speaking to this point, Mu Tian also noticed that something was wrong. The three of them looked at each other in shock.
"Tell me, how did you sense us coming here?" Mu Wen asked.
"It's not me, it's them!" Saying that, Mu Tian bent down to scratch a few times in the dirt, and when he straightened up, there were a few bugs in his hands. "I felt them, and I felt that they were very scared and panicked! I think they did it because someone came, so I came out! "
"Can you feel their fear?" Mu Wen and Mu Wu asked in shock at the same time, it was very normal for Spiritual Sense to sense the existence of insects outside, they could also feel the existence of insects inside the Spiritual Sense, but if they felt the existence of bugs, it was equivalent to feeling the existence of insect's Spiritual Sense, this was kind of unbelievable.
"Yes, yes!" After Mu Tian finished speaking, he was surprised, and couldn't help but recall the Spiritual Sense's reaction when he was trying to comprehend it.
Pausing for a moment, Mu Wen asked, "Could it be that you comprehended the Family Secret Scripture?"
"It should be!" Mu Tian himself was a little unsure, "When I was trying to comprehend the Family Secret Scripture, I felt a lot, a lot …" Mu Tian did not know how to describe it, so he gestured with his hand, "Those should be bugs! "Actually, I only sensed that bug in the pill cultivating room had been very quiet all this time. It suddenly became very panicked and scared, as if it suddenly found out about something, so I guessed that someone from outside was coming."
"How do you know they're scared and flustered?" Mu Wen asked.
"Like this!" Mu Tian let go of his hands as he spoke, the bugs in his hands started crawling all over the place.
Mu Wen was speechless for a moment. There was no need to guess, this bug must be panicking and scared, but he wasn't sure if it was Mu Tian who felt Buggy's Spiritual Sense or if it was due to Buggy's performance that he speculated that someone was coming.
After a long while, Mu Wen shook his head, "Don't tell me the Family Secret Scripture is actually so mysterious!"
A few people were shocked and stood dumbstruck for a while before they could accept this fact.
"Clang!" Mu Tian suddenly drew his sword and shouted: "Brother Wu, be careful!" After he had finished speaking, he pounced towards Mu Wu and released the [Eighteen Flames of the Raging Flames].
Mu Wu was caught off guard. His sword was not even in his scabbard, so he couldn't help but retreat. For a moment, he was actually at a disadvantage.
Mu Wen quietly stood to the side and watched. He was also quite surprised by Mu Tian's performance.
Mu Tian was actually able to unleash all 18 moves of the Raging Flames of the Eighteen Strikes in one breath. You have to understand that he only learned 15 moves yesterday, but now he actually used all 18 moves.
Mu Tian, who had used eighteen moves, froze for a moment. Mu Wu's scabbard struck over and sent Mu Tian flying, "Good boy, when did you secretly refine it? How dare you sneak attack me!"
Mu Tian got up, "I didn't steal any training!"
"I didn't!" When did you learn the last three moves? " Mu Wu asked.
"I, I, I want to say, just now, did you believe me?" Mu Tian said.
"What do you think!" Mu Wu said angrily.
"A little, I can't believe it!" Mu Tian said in embarrassment.
"I believe you!" Mu Wen, who was on the side, answered.
Mu Tian laughed when he heard that. He turned around and said, "It really was just a moment ago. When I thought about the fact that I haven't practiced the Eighteen Flames, I suddenly felt enlightened. And then I naturally used the Eighteen Strikes!"
"Am I dreaming!?" Mu Wu muttered to himself.
"It seems like you have comprehended the Family Secret Scripture, which is why you have such a shocking change!"
"Brother, is that Secret Scripture that magical?" Mu Wu asked.
"The mystery of the Family Secret Scripture is not something you and I can measure! In the past, I only heard a little about it, but who would have thought that seeing it for myself today would be so astonishing! "
"Since it's so powerful, why don't you let all of the clan's disciples cultivate it? If you can refine it into the strength of the clan, then wouldn't that be a huge improvement!" Mu Wu asked.
"Why I don't know. But the Secret Scripture is so mysterious, if it were to spread out, it would bring a disaster to the family, so we have to keep it a secret. Even if we die, we can't say it out!" Mu Wen said solemnly.
"Brother Wen is right!" "Even if I die, I will keep it a secret!" Mu Tian replied.
"Brother, don't worry!" Mu Wu patted his chest.
"Brother Wen, do you think I have completed two missions, all that's left is to concoct pills?" Mu Tian suddenly asked.
Mu Wen nodded: "That's right! You have mastered the Eighteen Raging Flames Slash. Although the temperature is still a little low, you were able to completely execute it; based on your previous performance, you should have comprehended the clan's secret technique, so now you can only refine pills. If you can finish it, you can go to the Wangjing! "
"Good!" "I'll start forging now!" Mu Tian walked into the Pill Refining Room full of confidence.
Mu Wu shook his head and said, "There are only a few days left, how can he finish it!"
Mu Wen stared at the closed door of the pill refining room and said to Mu Wu behind him: "Stay here and don't leave, I'm going to see Lord Patriarch!"
Mu Wu nodded, "Brother, don't worry!" As he spoke, he sat down cross-legged.
