"Is this the scripture you copied? This word is really..."
The warehouse instructor narrowed his eyes, picked up the article that Zhang Xiao had carefully brought over, and suddenly froze on the spot.
Forehead!
Under Xia Dongyuan's envious eyes, Zhang Xiao's joy of walking out of the attic was suddenly turned cold by the strange look in the warehouse instructor's eyes, and disappeared completely.
"Teacher Fan said that if you copy the Confucian grand ceremony, you can come to this warehouse to exchange for elixirs and spiritual stones."
"Yes, this article contains literary charm, and it can indeed be exchanged for elixirs and spiritual stones. This doesn't mean it can't be done."
The instructor gently raised his head again, looked at Zhang Xiao carefully, and still whispered in disbelief.
"Normally, someone who can stimulate the Yunjuan Academy's grand ceremony with his literary and moral energy in the attic must be a well-educated person."
"It's just that the word "you" is the same as the word "you" crawling out of a chicken's claws. It's really hard for me to believe."
"Well, student, my family is poor and I don't have paper to practice calligraphy, so I made my husband laugh."
"You can practice in the sandbox without paper. Are you totally lazy?"
Um!
Zhang Xiao remained silent and nodded hurriedly with some embarrassment.
"There is a cloud in calligraphy, like a silkworm's head and a swallow's tail, twists and turns, and a swallow that does not fly together... Hey, today's students are really..."
Buzz, a spiritual stone emitting a faint light appeared in the hands of the chattering instructor.
A pair of shrewd eyes looked at Zhang Xiao and spoke solemnly again.
"Young man, you must practice calligraphy. This time you copied Yunjuan Academy's Supreme Ceremony, and I will give you three spiritual stones. If your calligraphy is good, then I will give you another one!"
Zhang Xiao's mouth suddenly twitched when he heard this. Wasn't this undoubtedly telling him that because his handwriting was ugly, he was deducted a piece of money?
But facing some powerful mentors, Zhang Xiao could only regard it as bad luck.
Because he still has tasks to do next, Teacher Fan once told the disciples of Yunjuan Academy that they must have their own identity tokens.
This token needs to be carved from high-quality onyxin stone. Firstly, it can prove one's identity, and secondly, it can also ask for help from the academy in critical moments.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiao put away the spirit stone and at the same time looked at the shrewd and powerful mentor in front of him and asked cautiously.
"Excuse me, instructor, are there any onyxin stones for sale in our warehouse?"
"Yes, do you want natural or artificial onyx stone?"
"Artificially made onion stone?"
Zhang Xiao was stunned when he heard this, and looked at his mentor in disbelief. Since there is an artificial heart stone, why does the Upper Confucian Academy send every academy disciple in the empire to Yahai to look for the heart stone every year?
"Teacher, which one is better, artificial or natural? Since there are artificial ones, why go to Yahai to look for natural asparagus stones?"
"You don't even know this?"
The warehouse instructor shook his head in surprise and looked at Zhang Xiao with great surprise.
"Did you just join the academy not long ago?"
"Exactly, I hope the teacher can help me clarify my doubts!"
"Oh, it turns out you are new here. If I had known earlier, I would have given you two spiritual stones."
The warehouse instructor patted his head in great annoyance, as if he had missed something extremely beautiful.
"That's all. If I can answer your questions for free, it can be regarded as a meeting gift between our teachers and students."
Meeting gift? Zhang Xiao's mouth twitched, but he didn't dare to refute.
"For example, the article you copied is an article written by the sages of Yunjuan Academy."
"This article not only contains the Taoist rhyme with a literary flavor, but also the truth of the great road in heaven and earth."
"You see, if Jingwei holds a tiny piece of wood, he will fill the sea. Xingtian dances with Qianqi, and his strong will will always be there."
"Once these articles written by Tao family ancestors are copied, they will have literary and moral vitality and Taoist rhyme attached to them."
At this time, this article is no longer an ordinary article. It can be put into the alchemist's alchemy furnace to refine five asparagus stones.
"But with your ugly words, I'm afraid it will be a big deal!"
After the warehouse instructor said all this, his thin head kept shaking. It was a pity at that time.
Zhang Xiao was stunned when he heard this, and looked at his mentor in disbelief. It was so unexpected that a sage's article could be made into a literary heart stone.
"Then, how does this man-made onyx stone compare with the onyx stone in the cliff sea?"
Zhang Xiao now broke the casserole and asked the truth, no longer polite at all.
"The artificial heart stone contains only the rhyme and vitality of literary principles."
"As for Wenxin in the cliff sea, it can indeed make weapons, runes, magic tools, etc. Do you understand now? If you understand, why don't you pay a consultation fee?"
The warehouse instructor stared straight at the spirit stone in Zhang Xiao's hand, full of greed.
"Oh, students understand, thank you teacher, students will leave now and won't disturb you anymore!"
Zhang Xiao turned around in embarrassment, grabbed three spiritual stones and hurriedly ran away.
"Fifty-six, fifty-seven..."
Walking out of the warehouse, Zhang Xiao caught a glimpse of Xia Dongyuan at the door of the attic. He was counting in his mouth, as if he was counting the time to see when the two hours would be full.
Although this sturdy fat man is a bit suspected of bullying newcomers, he is also relatively upright.
"Teacher Fan, I don't know how to get to the formation instructor's courtyard. Can you ask Senior Xia to take me there?"
"Huh? Zhang Xiao, please don't trick me..."
"good!"
Just when Xia Dongyuan was stunned, he forgot the number and looked anxiously at Zhang Xiao, who was causing trouble, with an extremely unhappy expression.
Suddenly, a sound came from the attic, which shocked Xia Dongyuan.
When did the legendary Master Fan, the Lord of Hell, become so easy to talk to?
"What? Little fat man, are you unwilling to lead the way for Zhang Xiao?"
Suddenly, the sound from upstairs came again, making Xia Dongyuan's fat body tremble and he stood up hurriedly.
"I am willing, I am willing, mentor..."
…
"I really didn't expect you to be able to copy the articles from the attic. I really admire you."
Xia Dongyuan, who was walking on the lake embankment, looked back at Zhang Xiao with admiration on his face.
"You don't know, every month we have students who are forcibly pulled up to the attic to copy articles. Those who can't be copied have to kneel at the door. Over time, Teacher Fan, who is very arrogant, becomes like a demon.
exist!"
"Haha, devil? I feel fine!"
"you…!"
Xia Dongyuan looked at him with an expression that didn't look like he was pretending, sighed slightly, nodded and said.
"However, Teacher Fan must be very fond of someone like you who can copy articles easily. No wonder he will be so kind to you..."
"Senior Xia, they seem to be using the articles we copied to refine the Asparagus Stone, but why do they need so many Asparagus Stones?"
In Zhang Xiao's ears, the voice of the warehouse instructor never dissipated for a long time. These big words "Artificial Wenxin Stone" impacted his mind and kept pressing in his heart.
Because others don't know how the onyx stone is formed, but I do know it.
This literary heart stone is the origin of the majestic literary energy of the master in Yahai. The power of the clear characters and the sacred monument in the sea emerged and turned into a special power, which was then continuously washed and eroded by the bones of sea beasts.
.
This can be regarded as adhering to the power of changing heaven and earth. How can the treasures that appear be replaced by artificially made things? It is simply a blasphemy against him.
"You don't even know this?" When Xia Dongyuan heard this, he looked at Zhang Xiao in great surprise.
"There is a unique space in the Zhengyang Mountains. It is rumored that it is where the fate of the Mingzun Empire lies, so these artificially created onyx stones are used to provide him with endless vitality."
Huh? Is there such a thing in the Zhengyang Mountains?
At this moment, Zhang Xiao was stunned. He had lived on Zhengyang Mountain for fifteen years and he didn't know anything about it.
Phew, Zhang Xiao exhaled a long breath, and suddenly thought of what the envoy, Teacher Ye, had said to him before.
Could it be that living in the Tang family has some connection with the Zhengyang Mountains?
Um?
Probably not. I have no virtue or ability. I am just an ordinary young man. How could I be involved in such a big thing?
Zhang Xiao hurriedly shook his head to get rid of this terrifying thought from his mind.
Suddenly, the fat little black man in white Confucian uniform in front stopped.
"Huh? Why don't you leave?"
"In front of you is the small courtyard of the formation instructor Wen. If you want to enter, you must rely on your own strength. Others cannot lead the way."
Xia Dongyuan looked at Zhang Xiao with funny and expectant eyes, making Zhang Xiao even more confused.
"Your Yunjuan Academy has a lot of strange things going on. What kind of song is this?"
"Haha, I told you that it is the formation instructor's courtyard, so there must be a test-type formation in front of this trail."
"So, you have to walk there by yourself..."
Zhang Xiao looked forward speechlessly, at a dense bamboo forest, quiet and green, with the lake breeze blowing and rustling, it was extremely beautiful.
However, there is really no clue as to where this portal is.
"Hey, can you give me some tips?"
Zhang Xiao was stunned when he found that the little fat man had crossed his arms, as if he was watching a big show, but he felt endless depression in his heart.
