Luo Mu relied on his own strength to defeat the first person Wood Department, and then fought against six old students, giving the new students a big face. Many freshmen even regard Luo Mu as their idol.

The woman's arrogant and unscrupulous comment Luo Mu would be strange if it did not arouse the irritation of the new students. Even the old students couldn't help but become curious about this new female student, wondering where she got her confidence.

Another woman had a panicked look on her face. She seemed to have expected her sister to say this, but she couldn't stand the atmosphere at this moment. She grabbed the woman's hand fiercely and took her away from the place by force, regardless of whether she wanted to or not, for fear of causing trouble.

After all, Academy has such a place as Grudge Platform, and this woman still knows it. She doesn't want to see her sister being taken away by Grudge Platform as soon as she enters Academy. Even if they Lineage have some strength, their sister will inevitably suffer physical pain.

In another place, Luo Mu knew nothing about this matter and just went in the direction of the Library Pavilion. After a while, Luo Mu came to the Library Pavilion. I have read all the books I borrowed before. I don't know whether it is the long-term use of Meditation Fruit that gave him a photographic memory, or whether monks are different from ordinary people and can quickly remember things they have read.

Anyway, Luo Mu can read very fast. It is not an exaggeration to say that he can read ten lines at a glance, so Luo Mu quickly memorizes the contents of each book, and then comes back to the Library Pavilion to find the books he wants.

"Boy Luo, are you here to exchange books again?" As soon as Luo Mu stepped into the Library Pavilion, the old man guarding Library Pavilion opened his mouth and smiled at Luo Mu, as if he was already quite familiar with Luo Mu.

"Yes! I have memorized the classics I borrowed before, and I came here just to replace them." Hearing this, Luo Mu smiled at the old man and said.

The old man's name is Min Tian. He looks senile and has a long white beard, but he gives people a feeling of high energy. Although his strength is only the third level of Qi Refining Stage, which is several levels lower than Luo Mu. He also calls Luo Mu Luo Boy, but Luo Mu did not put on any airs of being a master in front of this person. Whenever the other person was kind to him, Luo Mu also smiled back. Over time, Luo Mu, who often came to change books, actually became familiar with the old man guarding Library Pavilion in front of him.

What makes Luo Mu curious is that this old man seems to know everything. Whenever Luo Mu borrows a book, the old man can always tell the key points in the book in one sentence, asking Luo Mu to pay more attention.

Not only Luo Mu was like this, but other students were also like this when borrowing books. No matter what books they were, they seemed to be within the scope of the old man's understanding. This made Luo Mu feel curious and at the same time he couldn't help but feel admiration.

As for why the old man was so talented, Luo Mu couldn't figure it out, so he had to attribute it to the fact that he was guarding Library Pavilion. He had been guarding Library Pavilion for a long time, and his knowledge and experience were certainly not comparable to those of them who had just stepped into the world of cultivation.

After the two greeted each other, Luo Mu walked into the Library Pavilion, looking for the books he wanted. An hour later, Luo Mu, holding two thick books in his hands, came to the old man.

"Eh...Complete Compendium of Formations! Luo boy, aren't you from the Alchemy Department? Why are you still interested in the Tao of Formation?" Two thick books were stacked on top of each other. Min Tian scanned the top one. When he was about to register, he suddenly heard a soft moan from his mouth, and then asked Luo Mu with a curious face.

"Haha... I have read a lot of classics, and most of them are related to the way of formation. Therefore, I guess that if you walk in the world of cultivation in the future, if you don't understand the way of formation, you will probably suffer a big loss, so you are going to study it and pave the way for the future. From the look of Min, it seems that you also understand the way of formation?"

Luo Mu first smiled, and then explained to the old man, and from the old man's expression, Luo Mu seemed to think that the other party had also studied the formation, and asked in surprise.

However, there is one thing Luo Mu did not say. Studying the formation method is not just for the sake of the future. Luo Mu has never forgotten the restrictions on the underground cemetery. If you understand the formation method earlier, you may be able to achieve unexpected results.

"I know a little bit about formations, but I haven't studied them deeply enough to mention them!" Min Tian The old man shook his head, and then said with an embarrassed smile.

Luo Mu smiled and said nothing, feeling in his heart that it would be strange for a third-level monk Qi Refining Stage to have a deep understanding of the formation method. After all, it is quite troublesome to refine the formation flag, and the refining materials are quite expensive, not included in the weapon refining and alchemy materials.

Although the old man Min Tian is very knowledgeable in the eyes of Luo Mu, but how does Luo Mu see it, the old man Min Tian is not like the master of Spirit Stone, let alone an in-depth study of the formation. He can't even refine the formation flag, how can he study it in depth!

However, as the old man Min Tian said himself, he only had a vague understanding, but Luo Mu believed it without hesitation.

The old man Min Tian did not bother with Luo Mu on this issue. He quickly registered the book named <Complete Compendium of Formations> in his hand and handed it to Luo Mu. Then he looked at the second book selected by Luo Mu.

"History of Demons in the Realm of Cultivation!" He muttered the name of the book. The expression on Old Min Tian's face suddenly became a little strange, but he quickly concealed it. Without further questioning, the old man quickly registered the book and handed it to Luo Mu.

Min Tian Although the expression on the old man's face only flashed by, it did not escape Luo Mu's eyes. Luo Mu frowned slightly, feeling a little strange in his heart.

"Min has so much knowledge, but do you know anything about magic?" His brows relaxed, and a smile appeared on Luo Mu's lips again, and he asked the old man.

"Haha... I really don't know about this." The old man smiled and then replied without thinking.

"Oh, that's a pity. It seems that this classic can only be understood slowly when I go back next time." Luo Mu said without changing his expression, but there was a murmur in his heart, obviously he didn't believe the old man's excuse.

Since the other party didn't want to mention it, Luo Mu certainly wouldn't shamelessly pester him. He immediately put away the two classics on the table in front of him and prepared to leave for Instructor Han's residence to ask for advice on the techniques for refining Qi Gathering Pill.

"Then I'll take my leave now, Min, you can get busy first." Luo Mu said hello and walked towards the door.

"Well! You're good to go. Oh, by the way, a large trade fair will be held in the square in the center of the city in a month. I think you have to go and take a look. Maybe you can get what you want in exchange." Luo Mu had just walked out of the door of the Library Pavilion when the voice of the old man Min Tian came from behind.

"I know, of course I won't miss such a grand event." Although Luo Mu had known about this grand event for a long time, Luo Mu still smiled back at Min's kindness, and then left Library Pavilion.

"The little guy's appetite is quite big!" Looking at Luo Mu's slowly leaving figure, Min Tian said softly with a mysterious smile on his lips.

"Hey! What are you reading, old man! Borrowing books! Don't you see? Hurry up and register with me, young master. I'm in a hurry to go on a date with my school girl!" At this moment, there was a roar from beside him, which made the old man Min Tian frown.

In just the blink of an eye, Min Tian the old man's brows relaxed, and he smiled apologetically at the roaring man, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll register you right now."

Roaring Man's cultivation has reached the fifth level of Qi Refining Stage. He doesn't know how many years he has been with the Academy. When Luo Mu came to register before, this man was standing behind Luo Mu waiting. He saw that Luo Mu's registration book was actually the same as the old student. The two started chatting, and the man suddenly felt unhappy. Worried about Luo Mu's strength, the man didn't say much at the time and had to endure it. It wasn't until Luo Mu left that the man's anger was vented on the old man Min Tian.

In the eyes of Roaring Man, why should he be so polite to people who are lower in strength than him? So what if he yelled when he was upset! He didn't dare to provoke Luo Mu, but Roaring Man didn't take the old man Min Tian on the third floor of Qi Refining Stage seriously.

The truth of the jungle in the world of cultivation is vividly reflected in this person!

Luo Mu's trip to the Academy took a long time. When the moon rose, Luo Mu returned to his shop.

However, the gains from this visit to the Academy and Luo Mu are quite obvious. At least the key to refining Qi Gathering Pill, Luo Mu found out from Instructor Han.

When Luo Mu asked about the refining method of Qi Gathering Pill, Instructor Han showed curiosity on the spot. Although Qi Gathering Pill had no effect on the Foundation Establishment Realm monks like him, for Qi Refining Stage monks, it was one of the best elixirs to improve their cultivation.

However, the medicinal materials for refining Qi Gathering Pill are not very expensive, but they are not cheap either, and the success rate is low. Luo Mu actually asked about Qi Gathering Pill's refining techniques. Instructor Han guessed that Luo Mu must refine Qi Gathering Pill by himself.

This was a huge expense, and it was difficult for ordinary Qi Refining Stage monks to afford it. However, Instructor Han didn't ask any more questions, and just pointed out the key points of refining Qi Gathering Pill to Luo Mu one by one.

Luo Mu was also happy. After giving a respectful salute to Instructor Han, he rushed back to his hotel and prepared to have a good night's rest. He will start refining Qi Gathering Pill tomorrow and wait until the exchange meeting is held next month.

(I have an early shift tonight, and there will be another chapter later.)
