An Ancient Incantation

"Junior brother, what are you saying?"

Mu Fan looked at Zhong Ming with a puzzled expression.

Zhong Ming also looked at Mu Fan, gently shook his head, and said:

"It's nothing, just a word I've heard by chance."

Mu Fan nodded knowingly, then said:

"At this rate, we'll be at the Academy soon. The senior brother is there, and the gift he gives us will definitely be more impressive than mine."

Changing the subject, Mu Fan chatted with Zhong Ming for a few more minutes before standing up and saying:

"I suddenly remembered that I need to see Master about something. Junior Brother, you should rest first."

After saying that, Mu Fan stood up.

On his way to Lu Changzhi's residence, Mu Fan was filled with unease.

"This junior brother... there's something wrong with him."

There's a problem, a big problem.

They actually know about East Wind Express?!

He'd been here so long, yet he'd never heard of the word "express delivery"—a completely foreign concept in this fantasy world.

Especially when combined with the word "East Wind".

"These days, even time travel isn't the only option anymore?"

Mu Fan felt a throbbing headache.

He knew about Blue Star.

It's so tightly rolled up.

What if the other party also has a system or something?

How can this be...?

"Fortunately, we're still from the same sect, so it's not a bad thing."

Mu Fan quickly changed his mind.

Love curly hair, but he doesn't.

If he really falls behind, he'll just shamelessly stick to his master and live with him!

"Bang bang bang!"

Mu Fan knocked on the door.

The next moment, the door opened by itself.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Lu Changzhi looked over and smiled:

"Something seems off about your expression."

"Really?" Mu Fan smiled uncertainly, then said:

"Master, how did this new junior brother come about?"

"Zhong Ming?" Lu Changzhi smiled and said:

"I just happened to run into him, and I noticed he had a knack for grave robbing, so I just took him on a whim. What do you say?"

"Grave digging?" Mu Fan was somewhat surprised, shook his head, and sighed:

"Master, the disciples you've chosen are truly all experts in their own fields."

"This way you can learn from each other and grow together," Lu Changzhi said with a smile.

Then, Lu Changzhi asked:

"You came to me just to ask these questions?"

"That's not entirely true." Mu Fan thought for a moment, a hint of doubt appearing on his face.

"I just heard my junior brother mention an ancient incantation, something like... odd changes, even remains the same, or something like that. It sounds a bit obscure. Master, you are very knowledgeable, do you know anything about this?"

As he spoke, Mu Fan looked at Lu Changzhi.

"Good lad, trying to test me."

Lu Changzhi found it amusing when he heard that odd numbers would change while even numbers remained the same.

However, his expression remained quite calm, with only a slight hint of contemplation.

"Chicken penis and lotus root are not stir-fried."

Lu Changzhi read it aloud, as if he were trying to understand something, and he looked very serious.

After a few breaths, Lu Changzhi looked at Mu Fan again and asked:

"This shouldn't be some ancient incantation, at least not related to Human Race."

"Does Zhong Ming have an explanation?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Fan also shook his head.

"My junior brother said he overheard it by chance, but he didn't know the specifics, which is why he asked me. I never expected that even someone as knowledgeable as Master wouldn't know."

Lu Changzhi gave Mu Fan a disgruntled look:

"You're definitely here to flatter your master to death."

Mu Fan chuckled:

"How could that be? It's precisely because my reverence for you, Master, is as boundless as the surging river that I believe this."

Lu Changzhi smiled:

"If you keep going on and on like this, by the time new people come, I'll probably be fifty or sixty thousand years old."

"That's impossible," Mu Fan immediately replied.

"Eighteen. From now on, no matter if you ask about Master's age or his height and width, it will always be eighteen."

After chatting for a while longer, Mu Fan took his leave.

Lu Changzhi couldn't help but shake his head:

"It seems they discovered something with Zhong Ming."

"But the fact that they actually came to test me shows they're a little panicked."

A smile appeared on Lu Changzhi's face.

It's uncertain whether Mu Fan will be able to lie down peacefully after this.

They're all transmigrators from Blue Star, how can they sleep at this age!

Of course, I'm an exception.

After all, I have good sleep quality.

On the other side.

"It seems Master is probably alright."

After thinking it over, Mu Fan came to a conclusion.

However, upon closer reflection, even if Master knew, it couldn't be certain that Master was also from Blue Star.

After all, there's a powerful figure like him.

It's not surprising that they might have even wandered around Blue Star and know some things about it.

Mu Fan stopped thinking about Lu Changzhi and returned to Zhong Ming.

"I wonder if this fellow villager also has a system, or some kind of personal grandpa."

"He's from Blue Star, after all; he should at least be a little more generous."

After all, he opened it himself.

But this is something you obviously can't ask directly.

"We still need to find an opportunity to confirm this."

For a moment, Mu Fan felt a strong curiosity about Zhong Ming.

Not long after.

The flying boat returned to the Myriad Laws Academy.

When everyone returned to the courtyard, Gu Chen happened to be away from his cultivation.

He was shirtless in the sunlight.

Over the course of several days.

His body appeared to have become more robust.

Even his physique seemed to have grown a bit larger than before.

He did not intentionally activate it, but simply by standing there, one could feel the terrifying blood and energy flowing within his body, like the roar of Beast Race.

On the surface of its body, one can vaguely see some scale-like marks.

"Master."

Gu Chen called out.

Mu Fan then gestured to Zhong Ming and said:

"This is the eldest disciple, Senior Brother Gu."

At the same time, he looked at Gu Chen and said:

"Senior Brother Gu, Master has taken on another new disciple on this trip."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen stepped forward, looked him over, and remarked with admiration:

"I have a feeling that the disciples Master has taken in are getting stronger and stronger."

"Senior Brother is too modest." Zhong Ming shook his head.

"The path of body refinement is the most difficult. To achieve such a physical body, Senior Brother must have endured a great deal of hardship. Zhong Ming can only dream of such a temperament."

The feeling of having a small achievement immediately Discerning Eye for Treasures and praised made Gu Chen feel overjoyed.

What this junior brother said was truly delightful; it was so pleasant to listen to.

He immediately responded, saying:

"Many thanks to Master for your guidance; it's all thanks to Master."

Not far away, Lu Changzhi gently shook his head:

"You three are being way too over-the-top."

He greeted them, letting them get to know each other first, and also called out to Xiao Ye, who was on her honeymoon. After that, Lu Changzhi called Lu Yuan over.

"Senior Lu, are you familiar with the way to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion?" Lu Changzhi asked.

The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion he mentioned refers to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion headquarters.

"I know it well; I just went there not long ago." Lu Yuan finished speaking, then waved his hand, taking out a travel device, and said:

"Walk?"
