Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

"Brother, that person named Chifeng is so weird... You were obviously there on the first day of the academy... but he actually said that you failed the third entrance exam of Mingyuan Academy..."

Liu Mengying looked at Chifeng, whose face was swollen like a pig's head and dripping with blood, and said in confusion.

"It's normal... There are three hundred new students... At that time, everyone was probably thinking about majoring in Xuan Qi or Talisman and Seal. They didn't have much time to remember people. I don't know many of them..."

Ye Fan expressed his understanding.

"That's right~"

.........

"Eh~ Chang Qing?!"

Ye Fan and Liu Mengying continued to take a walk after dinner. Suddenly, not far ahead, a figure walking with a wine jar on his waist and his head lowered attracted Ye Fan's attention.

"Ye Fan, Miss Liu!"

After hearing Ye Fan's words, Qiao Changqing immediately raised his head and came over to say hello.

"Chang Qing, what's going on with you? You look gloomy every time we meet!"

Ye Fan looked at Qiao Changqing in confusion.

"this…….."

Qiao Changqing frowned and said, "Ye Fan, you are here at the right time. The capital has not been peaceful recently. You'd better be careful and stay in the academy as much as possible. And unless there are special circumstances, it's better not to go out at night!"

"Huh? Isn't it peaceful? A place like the capital should be the place with the best security, right?"

Ye Fan looked at Qiao Changqing with doubtful eyes.

"It stands to reason... It was like this before... But more than half a month ago... a blood-sucking monster appeared out of nowhere in the capital... To be precise, it was not just Sucking blood means sucking away flesh as well..."

"When the victims were discovered, almost only their skin and bones were left... The victims were widely distributed, ranging from ordinary people to princes and nobles, some of whom had their flesh and blood sucked... Some were ordinary people... .Some are mystical cultivators, and the ones with the highest strength have reached the third level of the Hou Rank......"

"A few days ago, an eighth-level mystic cultivator in the Qiao family was also killed..."

"Currently, almost all the police officers in the capital are investigating this matter... Ning Zimo has not slept well for several days because of this matter, but I just went to ask today and I don't have any clues..."

Qiao Changqing quickly explained to Ye Fan.

"That's it..."

………….

For the next few days, Ye Fan and Liu Mengying did not go out and stayed inside Mingyuan College.

Of course, this is not because Ye Fan is afraid of the blood-sucking monsters that Qiao Changqing said, but because he attaches great importance to learning the knowledge of mysterious patterns, while Liu Mengying is serious about practicing mysterious energy.

For seven days in a row, Ye Fan arrived at the school early and listened to the Tianzhuan Academy lecturers on the knowledge of Xuanwen and Fuzhuan. Although it was all basic knowledge, Ye Fan listened very carefully, took a lot of notes, and often asked questions. doubt………..

This made Wenzheng and Lao Miao quite satisfied. They were not sure how much Ye Fan had learned, but at least he really studied Xuanwen and Fuzhuan seriously...

.........

Time flies, a month has passed,

One day at noon,

"Dear students, after one month of practice, everyone has a relatively systematic preliminary understanding of Xuanwen and Fuzhuan!"

"The college will issue you a pass order for the library later. In your spare time, you can use the pass to go to the college's library to read books on mysterious patterns and talisman seals! Before officially making the talisman seals, you can check it out first Take a moment and try making it!”

"Mysterious patterns and talismans are extremely profound. The emphasis is on understanding, not form... Frankly speaking, I have been practicing for decades, and I only have a partial understanding of talismans!"

The speaker was a middle-aged man in a long gown. He was the instructor of Tianzhuan Academy. He explained to Ye Fan and the other ten new students with a smile.

"Good~"

..........

After a while, the new students, including Ye Fan, received a token engraved with a mysterious stone, which was the access order for the library of Mingyuan College.

…………

After all the new students left, a man with black and white hair and an old face walked into the school. It was Wen Zheng.

"Elder Wen Zheng!"

Changsha Jiaoyu saw the person coming and immediately said hello to him.

"Ok!"

Wen Zheng nodded towards Changsha Jiaoyu, "Baicheng, what do you think of this new class of students?"

"This... overall is pretty good... Two of them are already at the general level... One is about to break through to the general level..."

"As for the mysterious patterns and talismans, it's hard to see anything, but overall they are not disgusted because the mysterious patterns and talismans are obscure and difficult to understand. On the contrary, they are quite interested!"

"There is a student who I think may be a good prospect... His name is Ye Fan. He is one of the two new students whose strength has reached the general level I just mentioned. He is very interested in Xuanwen and Fuzhuan. He is the best among all students. He is the one who studies most seriously in middle school... he is basically the first one to come to school every day... He will also often ask about things he doesn't understand in the Xuan Wen study..."

"Speaking of which..."

Having said this, Baicheng paused slightly, "Ye Fan has probably never come into contact with talismans before. The questions he asked at the beginning were very basic knowledge about mysterious patterns and talismans, and I can give detailed answers. ……….But after a month of study, the questions Ye Fan asked…sometimes I can no longer give a definite answer…”

"And...Ye Fan's thinking is quite strange...I had never even thought about the questions he asked. But after he asked me that question, I gained a different understanding of Xuan Wen and Fu Zhuan. ………”

Baicheng explained to Wenzheng quite seriously.

"Is that so?"

………….

Ye Fan didn't know about the discussion between Wen Zheng and Baicheng. After eating lunch, he took the passage order to the library of Mingyuan College.

As soon as he entered the library, Ye Fan's eyes were deeply attracted by the old man sitting at the counter at the door, because there was a nest of mushrooms growing on the man's messy hair, which looked weird and funny.

After a while, Ye Fan showed the pass order in his hand to the other party. The old man with the mushroom on his head took it and glanced at it, then returned it to Ye Fan.

Immediately, a clear voice rang out, "This is the east side of the library. The collection of books is about Xuanqi and Talisman seals. The first floor is the most basic books about Xuanwen and Talisman seals. The second floor is about the production of Talisman seals. Basically, the third floor contains unclassified books, which are very messy. Basically, only lecturers, edicts and even elders who have encountered bottlenecks in practicing talisman and seal script will go there, and new students cannot go!"

"On the west side of the library are books on practicing Xuan Qi. You can also check it out~"

"By the way, you need an elder-level pass or warrant to enter the Library Pavilion above the fourth floor!"

Hearing the crisp sounds, Ye Fan couldn't help but be surprised, because the sounds did not come from the old man with mushrooms on his head, but from a parrot with colorful hair in a birdcage next to the counter of the library.

"I can't just tell a new student once~"

The old man with a mushroom on his head seemed to see the doubts in Ye Fan's heart, and he spoke with a smile.

"Oh, too~"

Ye Fan responded and strode into the library.
