No hope for eternal life

As for Mu Xun, after seeing Mu Changsheng coming out, he took the initiative to walk out without waiting for Mu Changsheng to invite him to go to class together.

The two walked together in perfect harmony.

On the way, Mu Xun asked first: "Have you been in seclusion these days to break through?"

"Well, I have already broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage." Mu Changsheng said truthfully, and then asked curiously: "What have you been doing these days?"

Mu Changsheng always felt that Mu Xun seemed to have undergone significant changes in these days.

"Attending classes, swinging hammers, and practicing swordsmanship." Mu Xun answered concisely and clearly.

Mu Changsheng stopped asking after hearing that. He still remembered that Yang Wuque once said that cultivation was a very personal matter and it was not convenient to talk too much and ask too much. Moreover, Mu Qun was originally a swordsmith, so it was reasonable for Mu Xun to practice sword and follow the sword path.

Then, Muxun mentioned another thing: "Since four days ago, I have been the only one who went to class in the school. No other students have gone there."

"So, Mr. Yang has been teaching you alone these days. You are very lucky." Mu Changsheng joked. As for the other students, he knew without hesitation that they left because of the rumors against Yang Wuque. He didn't care at all. They were just a group of people who were blinded by one thing.

"The principles Mr. Yang taught are all excellent." Mu Xun said seriously: "And Mr. Yang also taught me how to practice."

"Don't show off in front of me. I have been practicing with Mr. Yang for a long time. In fact, you should call me senior brother." Mu Changsheng said with a smile.

Mu Xun curled his lips and said, "Mr. Yang hasn't accepted you as his disciple yet, right? If I had become your disciple before you, I would be your senior brother. In terms of cultivation, I am already in the middle stage of foundation building, and even if you break through, you are only in the early stage of foundation building."

"Just wait and see." Mu Changsheng chuckled. He planned to try to become Yang Wuque's disciple today. Although Yang Wuque had never taken the initiative to accept him as a disciple, he, as a student, should also take the initiative.

When they arrived at the school, Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun were somewhat surprised to find that Yang Wuque had been waiting there for a long time.

Seeing this, Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun hurriedly sat in their seats, waiting for Yang Wuque to teach.

At the beginning of the class, Yang Wuque said as usual: "Today I will teach a chapter of the Tao Te Ching."

"The Tao can be spoken of, but it is not the real Tao. The name can be named, but it is not the real name. Namelessness is the beginning of heaven and earth; name is the mother of all things. Therefore, always be without desire in order to observe its wonders; always have desire in order to observe its boundaries. These two things come from the same source but have different names, and are both called mysterious. The more mysterious, the more mysterious, the door to all wonders..."

Two hours later, today's class was over, and Yang Wuque suddenly said: "Today is the last class, and you don't have to come to class on time anymore. In addition to the profound meaning of the Tao Te Ching I talked about today, I also hope that when you go out in the future, you can remember the word morality, stick to the bottom line, and not be confused by the corrupt world."

Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun stood up and saluted at the same time, saying, "We will follow your instructions, sir."

"You two follow me." Yang Wuque said again, and then entered the courtyard from the side door of the classroom.

In the courtyard, there is a house, which is where Yang Wuque lives. Seeing this, Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun hurriedly followed him into the courtyard.

The courtyard was very large, giving Mu Changsheng a sense of sudden enlightenment. Then he discovered that there were several bamboos planted in the corner of the courtyard. They were well cared for and growing lushly. Bamboo is the gentleman among plants, which just fits Yang Wuque's temperament.

Yang Wuque led Mu Changsheng and the other two to stand in the courtyard, then took out a book, handed it to Mu Xun, and said: "This technique is called stepping into the air, which is a secret technique of body movement. If you can integrate swordsmanship into your body movement, you can be considered to have achieved a small success in the way of swordsmanship."

Mu Xun received the secret technique and could not hide his joy. He bowed and thanked him immediately: "Thank you for giving me the secret technique. I will definitely live up to your high expectations."

Up to now, Mu Xun has mastered the first complete secret technique in his life, and this secret technique came from Yang Wuque. He knew that it was definitely not an ordinary item.

Yang Wuque helped Mu Xun up, shook his head gently and said: "The sword art you practice is the most prosperous art in the Nine Realms. It is easy to achieve small success but difficult to achieve great success. I am not good at it either, so I can only help you up to this point. How far you can go in the future depends on you."

"Students must work hard." Mu Xun said hurriedly. He was excited and full of confidence at the moment.

Then, Yang Wuque turned to look at Mu Changsheng who was silent at the side and asked: "Do you know why I didn't teach you the secret technique of body movement?"

Mu Changsheng already had the answer in his mind, and he said immediately: "Reporting to you, sir, I think there are three reasons why you didn't teach me the secret art of body movement. First, I have already learned two secret arts. If I learn another one, I will just bite off more than I can chew and end up being bothered by it. Second, I am following the path of body training, which requires me to use my physical body to withstand the various attacks of my opponent. I don't need to use body movement to dodge attacks. Third, there are also talismans such as the Godly Traveling Talisman among the talismans, which can improve speed and body movement. If I really need it, I can use the talisman instead."

There is another sentence that Mu Changsheng did not say, but he knew that Yang Wuque must know it. It is recorded in the Nine Transformations of the Physical Body: When practicing the physical body, one should be brave and diligent. Being injured is actually a kind of blow to the physical body, which is more conducive to physical training.

If one just relies on body movements to dodge attacks, it is actually not the right way to cultivate the physical body. Because this involves the secret art of the nine transformations of the physical body, Mu Changsheng is not in a position to elaborate on this.

"Not bad." Yang Wuque nodded with satisfaction. He originally wanted to test Mu Changsheng temporarily, and the result made him satisfied.

Afterwards, Yang Wuque gave Mu Changsheng two special talismans, one blue and one black, and introduced them: "The blue one is a second-grade top-level spirit summoning talisman, and the black one is a third-grade top-level elixir summoning talisman. You can try to refine more of these talismans in the future, which will help you improve your talisman skills."

Mu Changsheng took it and looked at it, and immediately recognized that this was not an ordinary talisman for cultivators to use, but an inherited talisman for talisman masters to learn. Only with this inherited talisman could Mu Changsheng be able to refine the talismans inside it.

The inheritance talisman is also one of the difficulties Mu Changsheng is currently facing, because the truly precious inheritance talismans are treasured by each family and never easily passed on to outsiders. Without the inheritance talisman, and without knowing how to draw the talisman, Mu Changsheng would not be able to refine the talisman he wants no matter how high his talisman realm and talent are.

Like the book on the basic secrets of talismans that Mu Changsheng had bought before, there were no more than six second-grade inherited talismans, and only a pitiful four third-grade talismans. That was not enough, but according to the book on the complete collection of talismans that Mu Changsheng had bought before, he knew that the power of those talismans was quite ordinary among the talismans of the same level.

The Summoning Spirit Talisman and Summoning Pill Talisman given by Yang Wuque are different. They are the top-level talismans of the same level. The Summoning Spirit Talisman and Summoning Pill Talisman act on the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages respectively. They will not launch attacks, but can improve the overall cultivation and strength of the cultivators in a short period of time. From this, it can be seen that the value of these two inheritance talismans is extraordinary.

So Mu Changsheng bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, sir, for the talisman."

"The talisman is given to you. Whether you can refine it or not depends on your own ability." Yang Wuque shook his head slightly and said, the Spirit Summoning Talisman and the Pill Summoning Talisman are certainly among the most precious talismans of the same level, but the difficulty is also the highest level among the same level.

"Finally, I have a question for you." Yang Wuque said slowly.

"Excuse me, sir." Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun said in unison.

"Are you planning to participate in the Kamikaze National Martial Arts Test next year?" Yang Wuque asked.

Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun looked at each other and nodded at the same time: "Participate."

The Shenfeng Kingdom Martial Arts Test is held every three years to select the geniuses of the Foundation Establishment Realm, Golden Core Realm, and Nascent Soul Realm. The martial arts test not only has rich rewards, but if you get a good ranking, you will also become the focus of Shenfeng Kingdom's training, and countless training resources will come rolling in.
