Seeing that he was smiling but saying the harshest words, Mr. Cheng couldn't help but frown, "I've heard a little about you, but I still have to be careful. If Xia Yuan can recruit him personally, he must take it very seriously."
, if you are offended because of this, you will be in a lot of trouble."
Cheng Yudao: "Don't worry, Uncle Emperor, he is just a genius. As long as he has not grown up, he is nothing in the face of absolute power! I will handle it well..."
Mr. Cheng looked at the other party deeply.
The person in front of me has been scheming since he was a child. He looks as gentle as jade and is extremely polite to everyone, but in fact he doesn't look down on anyone. Especially after the success of that thing, he is even more arrogant.
After a moment of silence, Mr. Cheng said: "As long as you know, the Dayong Dynasty, Luoyuan Dynasty and other countries are eyeing us. We still need to rely on the influence of Hongwu Academy. Even if you have a chance to break through in the future, you have to wait until you have achieved transcendence."
Make plans based on your strength..."
His Majesty, the strongest emperor of the Li Yuan Dynasty, only has the fifth level of longevity. He is considered the weakest among the surrounding countries. If it had not been for the protection of Hongwu Academy in these years, he might have been destroyed countless times.
"Don't worry, Uncle Emperor, I still know which is more important and which is less important!"
Cheng Yu chuckled.
Mr. Cheng nodded and said nothing more.
After all, the other party is the prince, the heir apparent of a country, and what he does is not something he, a guy far away from the court, can comment on.
Boom, boom, boom!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the private room.
"Xiao Cheng... didn't notify me in advance when he got something good, but it was going to be auctioned. If I didn't know the news, I might not even be able to see it!"
Squeak!
The door opened and he immediately saw Dean Xia Yuan striding in, followed by Dean Han Qing and Elder Xuan Ye.
Mr. Cheng and Cheng Yu stood up at the same time, bowed and clasped their fists, "Dean Xia..."
The peak of the sixth level of longevity is an invincible existence among the surrounding empires. Although they have a dynasty behind them, they do not dare to show any neglect or contempt.
"Prince Cheng Yu is also here. It's best this way, as it saves me the trouble of looking for him..."
Looking at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not far away, Xia Yuan smiled slightly.
Cheng Yu quickly bowed, "If the dean has any orders, just send someone to notify him, and Cheng Yu will definitely not refuse..."
Xia Yuan said: "It's not a big deal. There is a shortage of longevity patterns in the academy recently. You told Cheng Yuan to send him a thousand Guangmu longevity patterns within half a month!"
"A thousand longevity marks?" Cheng Yu's face trembled.
Although they control a royal family and have countless powerful people in the country, it is a bit tricky to take out a thousand at once.
Glancing at the other party, Xia Yuan said with a cold voice: "I believe that the Liyuan royal family will not let me down. Of course, if I really can't get it, I will go to the Dayong dynasty. I believe Helian Xiaoyun is quite willing.
.If it doesn’t work, Luo Zhengtian of the Luoyuan Dynasty must also be willing. Anyway, for our Hongwu Academy, it’s just a sentence, and it won’t have much impact if anyone takes it out.”
Cheng Yu quickly clasped his fists and said with a solemn face, "Whatever Dean Xia said, our royal family will definitely be willing to do it. There is no need to go to them..."
Once he finds the other party, it means that Hongyuan College has given up on the Liyuan royal family. This kind of blow is definitely something he cannot bear.
Although he may surpass the one in front of him in terms of strength in the future, for now, it is better to keep a low profile.
"Then I leave this matter to you!"
Seeing his agreement, Xia Yuan waved his hand.
"Yes, Dean Xia, don't worry. Within half a month, we will prepare a thousand Guangmu longevity patterns and send them to the academy." Cheng Yu nodded repeatedly.
Han Qing and others breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
I thought it would be very troublesome, but now it seems that the dean personally took action and the Li Yuan Dynasty did not dare to refute.
In this case, someone will fill in the loopholes that Xu Hong made...
No longer paying attention to the other party, Xia Yuan turned to look at Mr. Cheng, "Xiao Cheng, what happened to the tattooed jade you collected? Why not show it to us?"
Although Mr. Cheng is very old, he is still a junior in front of Dean Xia.
Mr. Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "This... the jade pattern has been sent to the auction house. Dean Xia should wait for a while and take a look at it together! It is indeed a good thing and will definitely not disappoint you..."
"That's fine!"
Xia Yuan smiled slightly, "I heard that there are also extreme longevity marks inside?"
"yes……"
When Mr. Cheng was about to speak, Cheng Yu on one side clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Dean Xia, I will buy the ultimate wood longevity pattern and give it to the college!"
"The prince is interested!"
Xia Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
Over the years, many outstanding students who graduated from Hongwu College have been poached by the Li Yuan Dynasty and have become pillars of the country. Now that the college is in need, the other party will naturally take action.
Soon, the auction started, and when the jade appeared, the entire auction house immediately reached a climax.
Xia Yuan and Vice President Han looked at each other, their eyes shining at the same time.
With their eyesight, they can naturally see that these jade patterns are at the top of the perfection level.
"This thing is definitely a treasure for an alchemist..."
After pondering for a moment, Xia Yuan said: "Dean Han, take pictures of all three pieces of jade, no matter how much it costs..."
"yes!"
Han Qing nodded quickly, and just as he was about to bid, he saw Cheng Yu approaching with a smile, "Since I'm here, how can I ask the college to pay for it? The two deans don't have to go out in person. I will directly bid for it and give it to them as well."
Academy!”
"The prince is too kind!"
Xia Yuan was slightly startled, then laughed.
The man in front of me knows the rules quite well. No wonder he became the crown prince. Not only did he not cause any dissatisfaction among his brothers and sisters, he was also unanimously praised by the ministers. He indeed has two brushes.
Although millions of taels of silver are nothing to Hongwu Academy, every penny saved is worth a penny.
With the participation of the current prince, the three jade patterns and the three extreme wood longevity patterns were not bought by anyone else. They all fell into his hands, totaling 2.5 million taels!
Not too expensive and definitely not cheap.
"Let's go!"
Taking the jade pattern into his hand and looking at the top-quality wood longevity pattern swimming inside, Xia Yuan laughed.
Walking out of the room, Han Qing asked: "Dean Xia deliberately asked for these two things by name. Is this intended to be given to Xu Hong?"
The man in front of him has a minor occupation in animal taming. No matter how precious the tattooed jade is, it is not necessary for him. He would not hesitate to let Prince Cheng Yu buy it at the expense of his face. Naturally, he has his own plans.
"His elixir talent is so high, so he must cultivate it well. The jade pattern and the extreme wood longevity pattern can be regarded as the first meeting gift!"
Xia Yuan smiled.
"He must be very happy to see this thing... When we were in White Jade City, we could stay for many days without buying anything."
Recalling his original experience, Han Qing sighed with emotion.
"Let's go!"
Putting the jade away, the three of them strode quickly towards the college.
…
In the private room of the auction house.
Watching Dean Xia and others leave, Cheng Yu's smile dropped, as if she was about to bleed.
"Your Highness!" Commander Shan Jun looked over with a worried look.
"I'm fine. Without Hongwu Academy's guarding these years, the Liyuan Dynasty really couldn't withstand the pressure from the surrounding areas. Not to mention just some longevity marks, no matter how high the price is, it is still worthy!"
Cheng Yu's eyes flickered, "I will go back and report to the emperor now to allocate funds to purchase wooden longevity patterns... By the way, uncle Huang, I may want to trouble you and collect them widely!"
"Don't worry, I will spread the news after a while..."
Mr. Cheng nodded.
Others can ignore it. Dean Xia Yuan speaks in person, and they really can't refuse.
"Thank you so much, uncle Huang!"
Cheng Yu turned around and left before walking out of the room. She turned to look at Commander Shan Jun behind her with twinkling eyes, "Tell Cheng Hao to find an opportunity to make an appointment with Xu Hong and tell him that I want to see him!"
"yes!"
Shan Jun nodded.
Cheng Yu said no more and turned to leave.
…
Not knowing that his identity was completely exposed, Xu Hong was standing on the second floor of the library, looking at the books in front of him, his eyes shining.
Although the books here are much fewer than those below, every one of them is of high quality, especially the martial arts. The worst ones are not much different from Huxing Fist. If placed in Jiyuan City, it would be enough to drive the three major families crazy.
"There is the Rainbow Breaking Technique for long-distance attack, which is sufficient for the time being. First choose a set of body skills and a set of close-quarters martial arts!"
As his cultivation level improved, Tiger Walking Fist and Turtle Walking Crane Step were obviously not enough. After a few steps to the martial arts area, Xu Hong picked up a book and turned it over.
No matter how powerful it is, write it down first before talking about it!
In less than half a day, all the hundreds of martial arts sets on the second level were memorized in my mind.
After reading the second floor, I walked to the third floor. Most of the exercises and martial arts here require a peak master to practice, and some even require reaching the life-increasing realm to learn.
As for the fourth level, the requirements are even higher.
Although his talent is extraordinary, his cultivation is not enough. Forcibly practicing will only damage his lifespan and is completely unnecessary. However, it doesn't matter whether he practices or not. Let's memorize it first.
After spending an unknown amount of time, I memorized all the secrets in my mind. Just as I was about to leave, my eyes fell on a book - Water Escape.
"Escape technique? This is good!"
As soon as his eyes lit up, Xu Hong hurriedly came to it and opened it casually.
"The Water Escape Technique is one of the Five Elements Escape Techniques. When it encounters water, it escapes. When used, the speed can more than double in an instant..."
After reading the introduction, Xu Hong's eyes lit up and he was full of excitement.
Although this escape method cannot be used in actual combat and its power is limited, it is a supreme weapon for escaping. It is very suitable for his cautious character.
Compared with saving your life, it doesn't matter whether you are strong or not!
Only by living can you go further and further.
"It's a pity that you need to reach the longevity state to practice!"
Quickly, I read through the content.
Practicing water escape requires two conditions: first, the ability to master the water attribute; second, cultivation to the realm of increasing lifespan.
He naturally meets the conditions for knowing "Black Emperor Water Spiritual Kung Fu", but his cultivation level is not enough.
"Memorize it first and then talk about it!"
After using his machine-stealing ability and taking more than ten breaths, the entire escape method was clearly remembered in his mind. Xu Hong was not in a hurry to leave, but continued to search.
Since there is water escape method, is there also wood escape method, earth escape method...
When escaping, water is not available everywhere. If you master the Five Elements Escape Technique, you don't have to be afraid no matter how dangerous it is.
Soon, another local escape method was found.
However, in the entire room, there were only two elements: water and earth, metal escape, wood escape, and fire escape, but they were not found.
After memorizing the exercises, Xu Hong strode out.
This visit to the library took nearly a week, but the harvest was huge. In terms of martial arts alone, I recited thousands of sets and hundreds of exercises.
Coupled with other techniques and secrets, it is not an exaggeration to call him the most knowledgeable person in the school at this time.
Of course, the consumption is not small. The medicinal materials and Qi-boosting pills obtained by the fraternity are all used up. It seems that they need to find a new alliance to join.
…
Library, Elder Hong Yuan's office.
"You said...Xu Hong stayed here for seven whole days?" Dean Xia Yuan was filled with astonishment.
After buying jade tattoos and the best longevity tattoos, they returned to the academy with Dean Han and others. As a result, after inquiring, they found out that Xu Hong entered the library seven days ago and has not left until now...
With elder authority, although there is no limit on reading time, you can't live in it!
This is too hard work!
Elder Xuan Ye sighed with emotion, "With high talent and hard work, it's no wonder that you have such strength at a young age. Even some teachers are no match for you... However, when reading and studying, it is best to proceed step by step. Read at night for several days in a row.
If you say you don’t have enough energy, how much can you remember even if you are full of energy?”
"Do you think...Xu Hong can't remember much?" Elder Hong Yuan looked over.
Elder Xuan Ye nodded, "Everyone gets tired, and studying all the time is not the right path. I think it will only be counterproductive... Back then, I stayed up all day in order to recite a mysterious skill. As a result, as time went by,
My memory got worse and worse, and I ended up forgetting everything I recited at the beginning!”
Elder Hong Yuan said with a strange look: "There is no need to compare your experience with Xu Hong. He has the ability to remember everything! As long as he has read the books, he can easily recite them. As time goes by, not only will he not forget
, it will become clearer and clearer.”
"Never forget?"
Elder Xuan Ye was stunned, and even Dean Xia Yuan couldn't believe it.
"When he first came here, I gave him a special test because he read too quickly..."
Elder Hong Yuan explained the previous events in detail. When they heard that the young general could remember as many pages and words as he had read, everyone froze in place.
It’s just that he has strong cultivation, high talent, and his learning ability is unrivaled...how can he still survive?
Boom, boom, boom!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Teacher Zhu Cunyuan, who was full of elegance and grace, walked in.
"Dean Xia, Dean Han, two elders... The new students have started school for several days. Xu Hong has not attended a single class. Several teachers felt that he would not be able to keep up with the progress, so they all came to me.
Here, I want to ask...what should I do?"
Congratulations to the teacher.
Dean Xia, Elder Hong Yuan and others' eyelids twitched at the same time. That guy has almost finished studying the entire library. Do you think he can't keep up?
