The Phoenix Arises

Chapter 73: The thunder beast in the Library Pavilion

Views:

The library of Shengjin Academy seems to be different from the modern library.

Looking up at the bookshelf that was so high that it couldn't be reached at a glance, Duan Muxi twitched the corner of her mouth. How do others view the book on the top? Although everyone who can enter this library is the winner of the martial arts tournament, it is impossible to fly that high.

Duan Muxi simply gave up on the unattainable books above and only took what he could reach. I flipped through a few books and found that they were all books on mysterious energy techniques and spiritual skills. I flipped through it a few times and wrote down some interesting tips.

I changed another row of bookshelves and found that they were all books about magic weapons and weapon refining. I picked up a copy of "Encyclopedia of Magic Weapons" and read the names of various magic weapons.

The next row was books on refining medicine, which was also the book Duan Muxi was most interested in.

While Duan Muxi kept walking through the rows of bookshelves, time also passed quietly. It was getting dark, but it was still very bright in the library.

Duanmuxi raised his head and glanced at the candle that had been lit for some time, and frowned slightly. Is it already night? time flies.

Duanmu Xi felt helpless when she thought of her purpose in going to the library. She has walked through all the floor tiles here, and there is nothing unusual. She has also searched all the walls, and there is nothing wrong with them.

Duanmuxi looked up at the terrifyingly high bookshelf again. If the mechanism was on top of it, there was really nothing she could do. Since there is no way to find the legendary unicorn, it would be worthwhile to read a few more books here.

Duanmuxi walked to the last row of bookshelves and looked at the label on the bookshelf: miscellaneous books. I casually scanned the books on the bookshelf. They were indeed quite diverse, including music scores, copybooks, Five Elements and Bagua, and formations...

Duanmu Xi was walking and reading when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a very new book at the bottom of the bookshelf. She knelt down and read the title of the book "Ten Complete Recipes".

This library actually has recipes. Duanmu Xi felt very friendly when she saw the recipe. Back then, she learned cooking skills from several famous chefs because of her grandfather, and she read a lot of the recipes. I wonder what’s the difference between the recipes in Hantian Continent and the current recipes

Duanmuxi gently pulled out the "Ten Complete Recipes". As soon as he got the book, he felt a sudden movement on the floor tiles under his feet. Before he could realize what was going on, he fell down.

A few minutes later, Duanmu Xi landed lightly and looked around at the dark surroundings. He took out the crystal ball from his arms and input the mysterious energy. The crystal ball immediately glowed with sky blue light.

With the help of blue light, Duanmu Xi observed her surroundings. She seemed to be in a secret passage. The secret passage seemed very long. She didn't know where it led to

Just as he took a step forward, Duan Muxi stepped on something, took a look at the crystal ball and saw clearly that it was the "Ten Complete Recipes".

Duanmuxi picked up the cookbook and looked through it, but found nothing strange. It was indeed an ordinary cookbook. It seems that the mechanism is not in this recipe book. It should be that he took out the recipe book and triggered some mechanism to fall down.

The person who designed the mechanism of this library is really interesting. He made the bookshelf tower into the sky to make people interested in the books on it, but in the end he placed the mechanism at the bottom. People tend to be obsessed with what they can't get, and ignore the happiness that is within their reach.

Then there is this recipe book. People in Hantian Continent respect martial arts, and the people who come in are all winners of martial arts competitions in every world. They should only be interested in mysterious energy and spiritual power, and some How many people will read this cookbook? No wonder even masters like Second Master couldn't find unicorns.

Tuan Muxi stuffed the recipe into her arms and continued walking forward with the crystal ball. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they finally walked out of the secret passage and came to a large stone door. There were candles on both sides of the stone door, so Duan Muxi put the crystal ball away.

Duanmuxi stepped forward and pushed the stone door, but there was no response from the stone door. Then she moved her profound energy towards the stone gate, but the stone gate remained motionless. It seems to be another organ.

Looking at the bare stone door, Duanmu Xi really couldn't see any mechanism. Suddenly she caught a glimpse of the candlelight on both sides of the stone door, and remembered that in the ancient costume dramas she watched in modern times, it seemed that the mechanism was also on the candlestick. Thinking of Duan Muxi, she walked to the candlestick on the left and tried to turn the candlestick.

"Boom..." As Duanmu Xi turned, the thick stone door slowly rose up.

When Duanmu Xi saw this, she felt happy. After the stone door opened, she walked in. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked into the stone door, he heard a "bang" from behind, and the stone door fell heavily to the ground again.

Duanmuxi touched the stone door and searched on both sides of the stone door. He couldn't find the mechanism to open the door, so he had no choice but to move forward. Looking at this secret room with stone walls and doors everywhere, Duanmu Xi could not help but sigh at the wisdom and greatness of the ancients.

After twists and turns, Duanmu Xi finally came to a relatively large space, like a main hall.

"Finally someone came in..." The charming female voice echoed throughout the hall.

Duanmuxi was startled by the sudden voice, but she quickly reacted and asked to the empty hall, "Are you the legendary thunder beast Unicorn?"

"Haha... I didn't expect that hundreds of years later, someone would still remember me." The figure of the unicorn slowly appeared in front of Duanmu Xi.

Duanmuxi was stunned when she saw what the legendary unicorn looked like.

What a beautiful purple unicorn! It looks very similar to a horse, except that it has a long silver spiral horn on its forehead and a pair of large silver wings on its back. Every feather on the wings is exceptionally clean and pure. The silver eyes were actually charming. The light, transparent, and charming purple, mixed with the noble, pure, and proud silver, completely interprets the charm of the unicorn in front of you.

Suddenly a name appeared in Duanmuxi's mind that suited her very well.

"Zimei, your name."

The unicorn was slightly stunned when he heard this. He was such an interesting villain. "It's a nice name, but you don't seem to be my master yet." There was a hint of teasing in his charming voice.

"You will be mine." Duanmu Xi looked at the unicorn with determination that he must win. From before to now, she has never wanted something so much as now.

The Unicorn was stunned again when she heard this. She liked the look in her eyes, "Come on, defeat me, and I will be yours." She believed that she had this ability, and those who could come in here would not be ordinary characters.

Hit again? Duanmu Xi frowned slightly, staring at the unicorn with a pair of purple eyes. After holding back for a long time, he said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

"Haha..." What a funny little man, his charming and hearty laughter echoed throughout the hall.

"Master..." Lan Ze, Hong Ling, and Green Bamboo heard the conversation between the two in the mental space, and finally couldn't help but get out of the mental space.

Seeing these three appearing together, Duanmuxi bent down to pick up the little green ball and touched its long green hair. After not seeing each other for a day, I feel like the little green group has grown up a lot.

Zimei looked at the sudden appearance of these three beasts and said in surprise: "The water-type divine beast Shui Qilin, the fire-type divine beast Suzaku, and the wood-type divine beast Tianlu beast, are they all your contract beasts?"

"Yes, are they qualified to be your partners?"

Hearing the invitation in Duanmu Xi's words, the unicorn knelt on its front hooves, "Of course, my master, it is an honor for me to be partners with three ancient beasts."

The unicorn's words made Lanze and the three of them feel at ease immediately.

"You're not bad either. Just like us, you are also an ancient beast, and you are qualified to be our partner." Hong Ling said in a rare friendly tone.

"Master, please make a contract." She has stayed here for too long, and she is eager to change to a new environment.

"Yes." Duanmu Xi breathed out a drop of his heart's blood and threw it into the unicorn's brow.

The natal contract was concluded successfully.

"Zimei will be your name from now on." Duanmu Xi used her profound energy to lift the unicorn's two front hooves while it was kneeling.

"Thank you, Master."

"Now that everything is done, let's go out." Duanmuxi glanced at the empty hall again, wondering where the exit is

"Master, please wait a moment." Zimei said and ran to a small secret room next to the main hall. After a moment, he walked out with a fruit that glowed lavender in his mouth.

Zimei directly stuffed the fruit in her mouth into Duanmuxi's hand.

"This is the Thunder Spirit Fruit." Looking at the familiar fruit in his hand, Duan Muxi asked in affirmation.

"Yes, this is the fruit that I have been guarding for hundreds of years. Now that it is ripe, let's give it to the master as a greeting gift."

"Thank you then, Zimei." Duanmu Xi, who had already eaten Water Spirit Fruit and Wood Spirit Fruit, naturally knew how extraordinary Thunder Spirit Fruit was. Without any hesitation, he directly picked up the Thunder Spirit Fruit in his hand and swallowed it in one gulp.

In an instant, purple light continued to emit from Duanmuxi's body. As the purple light in Duanmuxi's body became deeper and deeper, the thunder spirit power in Duanmuxi's body also became deeper and deeper. A thunder spirit fruit promoted Duan Muxi from king level to emperor level.

Seeing that Duan Muxi was promoted, Zimei said: "I will take you out."

Zi Mei led a few people to a teleportation array, and Duan Muxi arrived outside in just a few breaths.

As soon as they arrived outside, the four returned to Duanmu Xi's mental space.

Duanmu Xi looked around where she was, and soon she found a very familiar black stone wall.

Tianyuan stone wall? He was in the room where his mental power was tested that day. Thinking of the weirdness of the black stone wall that day, Duan Muxi once again input his mental power into the Tianyuan stone wall. With the continuous input of spiritual power, the stars on the Tianyuan stone wall also lit up one by one, and finally all ten stars on the black stone wall lit up. But no matter how much mental power Duan Muxi poured into the stone wall, the black stone wall no longer emitted white light.

Duanmu Xi slowly retracted his arm and frowned slightly. what happened? Why didn't this wall absorb her spiritual power today? Forget it, maybe it has something to do with Zimei.

Duanmuxi left the room and did not go back directly to Wisteria Courtyard. Instead, she came to Nalanxi's courtyard. The courtyard door was still wide open, and it seemed that the second master was still waiting for her.

Duanmuxi walked to the door of the room and knocked gently, "Second Master."

Hearing Duanmu Xi's voice, Nalanxi turned around suddenly and said, "Girl Xi is back, how are you? Have you seen the unicorn?" The voice was a little excited.

"Yes." Duanmuxi nodded and summoned Zi Mei to show Nalanxi.

Nalanxi was stunned when he saw Zi Mei's noble and beautiful appearance. He had never seen such a beautiful beast in his two hundred years of life!

Seeing Nalanxi's expression, Duanmuxi's mouth curved. It's so rare that the second master, who has always been smart and shrewd, has such a dull expression.

Early the next morning, Duan Muxi couldn't wait for Xuanyuan Mo to come to her, so she went to Xuanyuan Mo's room and found that he was not in her room either.

Where will Ashue go? Because it was too late last night, she did not go to see Ashue after returning from the second master, but went directly to her room to sleep. Now that I think about it, I feel a little strange. Ashue didn't wait for her in her room last night. It was so abnormal. You know, he usually can't drive her away.

Duanmuxi, who was deep in thought, suddenly felt a tightness in her waist. When she looked down, she realized that a pair of big hands had appeared on her waist.

"Are you thinking about me?" A familiar and pleasant male voice sounded low in Duanmuxi's ears.
