Chapter 285: Yuan Muyu's Disciple Still Needs This Master's Training

"Thump~"

"Thump~"

Heavy footsteps trod on the floorboards, bringing a tremor that shook the earth and mountains.

The old man paused, then realized these two had passed the second floor without entering, heading straight for the first.

Even the Ye Tinglan sisters had stopped at the second floor when they first ascended. After all, even if you could reach the first floor, if you were pressed too hard and couldn't search for things steadily, it would be Bai Da anyway, and you'd just make a fool of yourself; better to be steady on the second floor.

But right now, this big one and small one clearly looked quite strained, yet they insisted on going up another floor.

Where did these two narcissists come from? Especially the small one being so small!

Actually, the old man had overestimated... When Ye Tinglan and Yuan Muyu ascended the tower, they were under their sect's observation; all feared they wouldn't last long on the first floor and would lose face. Lu Xingzhou and A Nuo didn't care about any of that; if they couldn't hold on up there, they'd just go back down to the second floor. What's the big deal...

Rather than wanting to find something on the first floor, it was more that the master and disciple both wanted to see what their limits were, treating it as a test for fun.

So, in the old man's gaze of a genius, the floors shook, and with footsteps heavier than a thousand jin striking the floorboards, two heads, one big and one small, appeared on the first floor.

The old man felt a slight stir in his heart, and his form vanished into hiding.

"Master, it's so heavy; I can barely walk," A Nuo said. "As long as we made it up, let's go back to the second floor, okay?"

Lu Xingzhou glanced at her sideways: "Still showing off in front of your master?"

A Nuo: "..."

Even the old man was stunned. Wait, you're the master, and you're arguing with your disciple?

The disciple was quite used to it: "Master, the more you lack something, the more you compare on it. Compared to just now, you're being way too deliberate now..."

Lu Xingzhou: "..."

Our sect's tradition of betraying the master and destroying the ancestors must be hereditary, right?

Come to think of it, throughout the long past, A Nuo was always more capable of fighting than Lu Xingzhou; now is the rare period where Lu Xingzhou slightly overpowers her. How could he not show off...

Lu Xingzhou took A Nuo's small hand and infused a wisp of Qi into her: "Treat this pressure as an enemy's attack upon your body. I can wear it down with the power of the Grand Void Rotation; you can endure a bit longer."

A Nuo felt the Yin and Yang Qi circulating within her body wear down the pressure and felt quite envious: "I want to learn that too..."

Lu Xingzhou rubbed her head: "You're enduring this with your body's toughness; this quality is something many people can only envy... This is first grade pressure, you know. Although relatively gentle, not everyone can endure it across so many floors."

A Nuo became happy: "Then let's find something. I want to find a suitable martial art."

Whether it was Yuan Muyu or Shen Tang or Ye Tinglan, although they all knew martial arts, none were in the same category as A Nuo. Teaching A Nuo wouldn't be very compatible, and it was unknown whether a suitable one could be found in the Tian Yao Holy Land's archives.

Logically, with the countless collections of the Tian Yao Holy Land over thousands of years, there must be something suitable, which should satisfy A Nuo. But they would also face the problem Lu Xingzhou had before: having textbooks but no teacher; self-study is always one layer short.

A certain thought had once crossed Lu Xingzhou's mind: actually, the person best suited to teach A Nuo was Long Qinghuang; that was true domination through sheer physical violence.

It's just that if they met Long Qinghuang now, it would be good enough if they weren't crushed to death by her...

While turning these thoughts in his mind, Lu Xingzhou himself was searching for a suitable cultivation method. He wanted to find a usable fire technique.

Currently, Lu Xingzhou has focused on Wu Xiu's Yin Yang Ultimate Intent. He doesn't refuse to practice the Dao path; regarding cultivation methods, he mainly harbors the thought of practicing the Dao portion of the Yin Yang Ultimate Intent, so he temporarily doesn't want to find other methods.

As for practical skills, the path of the former evil cultivator's Soul Banner hasn't been used for a long time. It's not that the Human Emperor Banner is useless; in certain specific situations, it is actually more useful than the super-grade Yin Yang Ultimate Intent, but the current environment is different. Evil arts are very unsuitable to expose, so they must be hidden in daily life.

Lu Xingzhou's Dao path isn't limited to playing with the Soul Banner evil methods; he also masters quite a few orthodox techniques. Especially as an Alchemist, fire Dao methods are his backbone. Since obtaining the Essence of Burning Flame to refine ham, and then obtaining the Destructive Golden Fire to enhance destructive power, the fire abilities he now masters are very strong, yet he lacks a suitable technique to unleash their full value, which is a great pity.

Ye Tinglan could obviously teach this point, and even teach it to the best, but Lu Xingzhou never went to ask for instruction, because everyone understands why.

Taking the scriptures found by oneself and then going to ask her for guidance later seems like it would work... hmm...

The scriptures of the Tian Yao Holy Land all retain their original solemnity; they are all paper scrolls with blue covers, and there are even bamboo slip versions, not just a jade slip that you scan and finish. Admittedly, it feels much more solemn, but searching is indeed inconvenient. Lu Xingzhou drove the Grand Void Rotation to endure the pressure desperately, searched the bookshelves for a long time, and his finger stopped on a book spine: "Flaming Prison, Setting Sun."

First grade, but it is a martial art combat technique, containing palm and leg methods... yet it is not a spell technique.

It looks especially suitable for one who currently focuses on the martial path yet possesses the characteristics of Fire Bone and Destructive Golden Fire... Previously, without such martial arts, even his kicks carried fire, and he could burn the little demon girl into a white wasteland, but that was innate to the Fire Bone, not applied through specialized techniques. Clearly, this thing suits him very well.

It seems one might not necessarily need spell techniques.

But since he was thinking in this direction, what about the Water Bone?

Could he take another book?

Since no one was watching, it should be okay... Lu Xingzhou quickly flipped through another one, "Azure Water Cleanses Dust."

He pulled it out to look; it was a healing technique. If speaking of attack, it actually leaned more towards purifying the opponent's yin evil, which could also count as an attack.

Uh... seems like it's not impossible either.

From the perspective of Yin and Yang, the cultivation method was already Yin and Yang relative; having one technique for destruction and one for healing on the technical side was quite good. Lu Xingzhou looked left and right like a thief, then quickly hid them in his ring.

A sigh came from his ear: "You violated the rules, young friend."

Lu Xingzhou knew this place was still managed by someone, so he hurriedly smiled apologetically: "I'm just borrowing to read. Is borrowing not allowed?"

"No, you can only take one away. Which one do you choose?"
